KERMODE RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Kermode Resources Ltd. (“Kermode” or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and was subsequently continued into British Columbia.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, and transacting in mineral exploration properties located in Canada and the USA. There has been no determination whether properties held contain economically recoverable mineral resources. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). The Company’s registered and records office is 1 – 505 Fisgard Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company consolidated its share capital on a ten (10) old for one (1) new basis. All share, option, warrant and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect this consolidation.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and at July 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit (being an excess of current liabilities over current assets) of $293,519 and at that date, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of $10,987,680 which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its general operating expenses and to continue to explore its mineral properties. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. These factors may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statements of financial position classifications that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting . Therefore, these condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by IFRS Accounting Standards for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year
7
KERMODE RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023
ended October 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
The Company uses the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the annual financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.
The financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
3. NEW AND FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARD AND PRONOUNCEMENTS
New standards or amendments to existing standards issued but which have not yet been applied by the Company based on the effective date are not currently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
4. ACCOUNTING POLICY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
a) Accounting policy judgments
The preparation of these financial statements requires making judgments that affect the amounts reported. Accounting judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
Going concern
The Company’s management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The factors considered by management include, among other things, the Company’s cash position at July 31, 2024; its projected exploration and general operating costs; its ability to raise financing and its intention to continue operating the Company.
Impairment assessment of exploration and evaluation assets
At the end of each reporting period, management applies judgement in assessing whether there are any impairment indicators relating to exploration and evaluation assets When assessing whether there are impairment indicators management considers whether (i) the period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; (ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; (iii) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and
8
KERMODE RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023
the Company has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and (iv) whether sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. In considering these factors, management did not identify any impairment indicators for the nine months ended July 31, 2024.
b) Significant estimates
The Company records all share-based compensation using the fair value method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of stock options. The main factor affecting the estimates of the fair value of stock options is the volatility used. The Company currently estimates the expected volatility of its common shares based on the trading history of the Company taking into consideration the expected life of the options. In addition, the Performance Share Units have a performance multiplier of up to 10:1 which can significantly increase the value of the award granted. In determining the expense for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the multiplier to be 1:1.
5. ADVANCES PAYABLE
Advances payable as of July 31, 2024 of $29,808 (October 31, 2023 - $29,808) are due to a company with common former directors. The amount is non-interest bearing, unsecured with no specified terms of repayment.
6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to mineral properties
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.
The Company has not yet determined if the exploration and evaluation assets contain economic ore recoveries.

11. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company has made the following designations of its financial instruments:
| • | Cash | Amortized cost |
|---|---|---|
| • | Receivables | Amortized cost |
| • | Advances payable | Amortized cost |
| • | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
The fair value of the Company’s cash, receivables and advances payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

KERMODE RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash balance. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash, and financial instruments included in amounts receivable is remote.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is addressed in Note 1. As at July 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $5,075 (October 31, 2023 - $3,093) available to settle current liabilities of $321,032 (October 31, 2023 - $283,116). All of the Company’s financial liabilities are subject to normal trade terms.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant.
a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances held with financial institutions. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in short-term treasury bills issued by the Government of Canada and its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.
b) Foreign currency risk
The Company conducts the majority of its business in Canada and is therefore not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.
c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Changes in commodity prices will impact the economics of development of the Company’s mineral properties. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
23
KERMODE RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023
Capital management
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. There is no certainty with respect to the Company’s ability to raise capital. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management.
12. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
