KESSELRUN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021 AND 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
==> picture [87 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 18, 2011. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol TSX-V, and on OTC Pink, under the symbol KSSRF.
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. As at April 30, 2021, the Company has not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day to day activities through operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. As at April 30, 2021, the Company had $3,789,696 cash and held 1,735,000 common shares of First Mining Finance Corp. (“FF Shares”) valued at $581,225 (Note 5). The FF Shares are free-trading and do not hold any significant restrictions; as such the Company has enough liquid assets to continue its exploration activities and support its day-to-day operations for the next 12-month period.
The Company’s head office and principal address is 278 Bay Street, Suite 102, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 1R8.
Uncertainty Associated with Global Outbreak of Covid-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which continues to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim condensed financial statements were authorized for issue on June 28, 2021, by the directors of the Company.
a) Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements, prepared in conformity with IAS 34, follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as the most recent audited annual financial statements. Since the unaudited interim condensed financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020.
b) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations have been issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the standards when they become effective. The Company has not yet determined the impact of these standards on its financial statements, but does not anticipate that the impact will be significant.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS
Financial instrument 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 at the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company has classified its cash and marketable securities as measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, using level 1 inputs.
Categories of financial instruments
| Categories of financial instruments | ||

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $ 3,789,696 | $ - | $ - | $ 3,789,696 |
| Marketable securities | $ 581,225 | - | - | $ 581,225 |
| $ 4,370,921 | $- | $- | $ 4,370,921 |
Accounts payable, due to related parties, note payable, and flow-through share premium liability approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Management, the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee monitor risk management activities and review the adequacy of such activities.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying amount on the statement of financial position and arises from the Company’s cash, which is held with a high-credit quality financial institution. As such, the Company’s credit risk exposure is minimal.
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 equity prices.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (CONTINUED)
Risk management (Continued)
i. Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to maintain liquidity, the Company invests its flowthrough cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents. There is a minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any guaranteed bank investment certificates included in cash as they are generally held with large financial institutions.
- ii. Currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has minimal financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as the Company does not own foreign currency denominated financial assets or liabilities.
- iii. Equity price risk:
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equity/securities decreases as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of its investments in marketable securities.
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 ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, considering its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.
Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.
As of April 30, 2021, the Company had current assets of $4,696,318 to settle current liabilities of $1,033,334, which had contractual maturities of less than 30 days and were subject to normal trade terms.
4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
As of April 30, 2021, and July 31, 2020, the Company’s interest in exploration and evaluation assets consist of the Huronian Gold Project and Bluffpoint Gold Project. The costs incurred on the Company’s exploration and evaluation properties are summarized as follows:
