LITHIUM IONIC CORP. (FORMERLY, POCML 6 INC.)

Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements (a Capital Pool Company) For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

1. INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

POCML 6 Inc. (the “Company” or “POCML6”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on December 21, 2020 and is classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The principal business of the Company will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction ("QT"), as defined under the policies of the Exchange. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash and cash equivalents. Given the nature of the activities, no separate segmented information is reported.

The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent on its ability to secure equity financing with which it intends to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition thereof or participation therein subject to receipt of regulatory and, if required, shareholders’ approval.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

The head office and the registered head office of the Company is located at 130 King Street West, Suite 2210, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1E4.

The Company does not generate revenue from operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $66,154 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (March 31, 2021 - $28,888) and, as of that date the Company’s deficit was $208,568 (December 31, 2021 - $142,414). However, the Company believes that its working capital of $523,463 as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $589,264) will provide the Company with sufficient cash resources to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

On May 19, 2022 the Board of Directors approved the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

The condensed interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVPTL”), which are stated at their fair value. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the entire period presented in these financial statements.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is determined by dividing loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method and is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Share Capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.

Financial Instruments

Recognition

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss, and ii) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

The Company has implemented the following classifications:

LITHIUM IONIC CORP. (FORMERLY, POCML 6 INC.)

Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements (a Capital Pool Company) For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as assets at fair value and any period change in fair value is recorded in profit or loss. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Measurement

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset tor financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments or principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

Additional fair value measurement disclosure includes classification of financial instrument fair values in a fair value hierarchy comprising three levels reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements which are as follows:

Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and

Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.

Cash and cash equivalents are a level 1 financial instrument measured at fair value on the statements of financial position.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation awarded to directors and officers and non-employees using the fair value method. Under this method, cost is measured at the grant date at fair value using the Black-Scholes options pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock, the expected volatility, the expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option. The compensation cost will be expensed in the statement of operations over the service period, that is the vesting period for directors and officers and over the performance period for awards provided to non-employees in exchange for goods and services.

Share Issuance Costs

Share issuance costs relate to expenditures incurred in connection with the Company’s share issuance (note 3) and are charged against share capital.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized and the liability is settled. The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is recognized in net earnings and comprehensive income or in equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Measurement Uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates used in the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in financial institutions and funds held in a money market fund.

Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration, or further action, for one common share of POCML 6 upon satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the POCML 6 Subscription Receipts, less the cash portion of the Agents’ commission and Agents’ expenses, are being held in escrow by TSX Trust in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreements and will be released to the Issuers upon satisfaction and/or waiver of certain escrow release conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions”).

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

Capital management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company includes equity, comprised of issued common shares, in the definition of capital.

The Company's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of common share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

Risk disclosures and fair values

The Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the relatively short term maturities of the instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key management personnel and directors received $Nil (March 2021 - $nil) of stock based compensation during the three months March 31, 2022.

In addition, certain officers, directors and shareholders of the Company participated in the Offering (as defined below) and POCML6 is a related and connected issuer to PowerOne which will receive compensation for acting as one of the Agents in the Offering. See Note 6 for additional details.

There were no other transactions with related parties during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In addition to the election of directors, the re-appointment of auditors and the re-approval of the Company’s stock option plan, shareholders approved certain matters which are conditional on completion of the Company’s previously announced proposed qualifying transaction (the “Proposed Qualifying Transaction”) with Lithium Ionic Inc. (“Lithium Ionic”), as further described in the Company’s press releases of January 12, 2022 and February 7, 2022, including: (i) the election of a new board of directors to hold office following completion of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction; (ii) the consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares; and (iii) the change of the name of the Company to “Lithium Ionic Corp.”.

Further details about the Qualifying Transaction can be found in the POCML 6 press releases dated January 12, 2022, January 18, 2022, February 7, 2022, February 8, 2022 and April 8, 2022 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

  • (b) On May 13, 2022, the Company announced that, in connection with its previously announced “Qualifying Transaction” (the “Transaction”) pursuant to TSXV Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (the “CPC Policy”) with Lithium Ionic Inc. (“Lithium Ionic”), the Company has filed a filing statement dated May 12, 2022, prepared in connection with the Transaction (the “Filing Statement”) on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Following the completion of the Transaction, the Company (the “Resulting Issuer”) will carry on the business of Lithium Ionic and intends to change its name to “Lithium Ionic Corp.”.

The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the final approval of the TSXV and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Upon completion of the proposed Transaction, the Company is expected to meet all of the minimum listing requirements of the TSXV for a Tier 2 Mining issuer (as defined in the policies of the TSXV). Trading of the Company’s common shares will remain halted until such time as the TSXV may determine, having regard to the completion of certain requirements pursuant to the CPC Policy. The Resulting Issuer will resume trading under the symbol “LTH” following completion of the Transaction and the publication of a final exchange bulletin by the TSXV in respect of the closing of the Transaction.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt of Lithium Ionic will be automatically exchanged, without any further action by its holder, and for no additional consideration, for one common share of Lithium Ionic (a “Lithium Ionic Share”) and each Subscription Receipt of the Company will be automatically exchanged, without any further action by its holder, and for no additional consideration, for one post-Consolidation Company Share. Immediately following the issuance of the Lithium Ionic Shares upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts of Lithium Ionic, each Lithium Ionic Share will be exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share. In connection with the Offering, Lithium Ionic will pay the Agents a commission satisfied by an aggregate cash payment of $70,230.25 and the issuance of 1,064,845 Subscription Receipts of Lithium Ionic at the Issue Price. As additional consideration, Lithium Ionic issued 1,165,174 broker warrants (each, a “Broker Warrant”) to the Agents, each entitling the Agents to purchase one Lithium Ionic Share (and subsequently one Resulting Issuer Share) at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance of the Release Notice (as defined in the Agency Agreement). Also, in connection with the Offering, the Company will pay the Agents a commission satisfied by an aggregate cash payment of $29,609.50 and the issuance of 192,525 Subscription Receipts of the Company at the Issue Price. As additional consideration, the Company issued 234,825 Broker Warrants to the Agents, each entitling the Agents to purchase one Resulting Issuer Share at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance of the Release Notice. For more detail, see the Company’s press release dated February 8, 2022, available on SEDAR.com.

In connection with the Offering, PowerOne Capital Markets Limited (“PowerOne”) will receive 46,966 broker warrants and 38,505 subscription receipts of POCML6 as compensation for acting as one of the Agents. POCML6 is considered a related and connected issuer to PowerOne because: (i) officers and directors of PowerOne own, control or direct more than 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of POCML6, assuming the exercise of the options of POCML6 that they own and no other convertible securities; and (ii) officers and directors of PowerOne are officers and directors of POCML6. The terms of the Offering were determined by the Lithium Ionic and POCML6, and no proceeds from the Offering will be applied for the benefit of PowerOne other than the previously mentioned fees.
