Largo Physical Vanadium Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Expressed in United States Dollars) (Unaudited)
- Nature of operations and going concern
Largo Physical Vanadium Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 20, 2022, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company's registered office is located at 666 Burrard Street, Suite 1700, Park Place, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2X8. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "VAND.V".
The Company was formed by Largo, Inc. ("Largo"), the ultimate parent company of LPV and Term Oil Inc. ("Term Oil"), with the aim of creating a publicly traded investment vehicle that would invest in and hold substantially all of its assets in vanadium in physical form. The Company aims to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in direct investment exposure to physical vanadium and not speculate with regard to short-term changes in vanadium prices.
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from current fair values as shown due to changes in the following year.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had not generated any operating revenue. We have incurred a $377,962 net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (three months ended March 31, 2024 - $803,788 net loss).
Our ability to continue as a going concern and realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of operations is dependent on the ability to successfully execute our business plan and generate positive cash flows from operations, including through the sale of any vanadium and the ability to raise additional financing at acceptable terms in order to meet its planned operations for the next twelve months. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that 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 give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments may be material.
- Basis of preparation
2.1 Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements ("financial statements") of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), effective for the reporting period ended March 31, 2025.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the board of directors of the Company on May 20, 2025.
2.2 Basis of measurement
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for vanadium which is carried at fair value.

2. Basis of preparation (cont'd)
2.3 Functional and presentation currency
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency and presentation currency.
2.4 New accounting standards issued and effective
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not yet Effective
The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18")
In April 2024, the IASB issued a new accounting standard, IFRS 18, to improve the reporting of financial performance, which will replace IAS 1, while maintaining many of the existing requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures in the notes to consolidated financial statements and adding new principles for the aggregation and disaggregation of information. In addition, some of the requirements in IAS 1 will be moved to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7, as well as minor amendments to IAS 7 and IAS 33, Earnings per Share. IFRS 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management is required to apply judgment and estimates in determination of appropriate accounting for the classification of physical vanadium and any provisions. By their nature, these judgments and estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if necessary, are made in the period in which they are identified. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
