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.

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.
