OTSO GOLD CORP. APRIL 30, 2021 Canadian Dollars (Unaudited, Prepared by Management)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Nature of operations and going concern

Otso Gold Corp. (“Otso” or the "Company") is engaged in the development of the Otso Gold Mine in Finland. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “OTSO” and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada.

The Company announced on March 8, 2019 that the Otso Gold Mine was to be placed on care and maintenance from pre-commercial production due to operational issues and a lack of sufficient funds to continue production. The effective date of care and maintenance was April 1, 2019 and, because of this, the mining development expenses are no longer capitalized but are now expensed as care and maintenance (Note 11).

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and currently is incurring negative cash flows from operating activities. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company must generate sufficient operating cash flows, secure additional capital or otherwise pursue a strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions to provide it with additional liquidity.

Several adverse conditions and material uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the going concern assumption. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $5,876,543 (2020: $1,719,878). As at April 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $31,636,849 (January 31, 2021: $41,063,569). There can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to maintain the Otso Gold Mine and to cover general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company for at least twelve months.

During the year ended January 31, 2021, the Company raised $3,439,250 and $807,500 through the issuance of debt and equity respectively.

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, Otso completed a financing with Brunswick Gold Ltd. for a strategic investment of US$11 million in the Company (Note 10).

To date the Company has been able to raise the requisite financings but there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to continue to secure additional financing in order to be able to continue operations for the foreseeable future, and if so, on terms that are favorable.

Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown in these Financial Statements. These Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has caused many countries to implement measures to reduce the spread of the virus. In Finland, on March 16, 2020, the Government issued a decree on implementing the Emergency Power Act that closed the country’s borders, limited transportation within the country, and required most people to work from their homes. As at the date of these Financial Statements, the office closures and staff reductions are still in effect. The effect and duration of COVID-19 and government responses to it are unknown. Consequently, management anticipates, but cannot predict the effect of unknown adverse changes to its business plans, financial position, cash flows, and results of operations during 2021 and beyond.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2 Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and based on the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021, which include all of the Company’s significant accounting policies, and have been prepared in accordance with the same methods of application.

These Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 29, 2021.

Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the derivative liabilities. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

In preparing these Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021.

3 Inventory

Inventory consists of parts and supplies, including priority spares and maintenance consumables for the mine site. As at April 30, 2021, inventory is $2,225,095 (January 31, 2021 - $2,332,606).

OTSO GOLD CORP. APRIL 30, 2021 Canadian Dollars (Unaudited, Prepared by Management)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

during the period ended April 30, 2021 through the issuance of 31,909,280 common shares (Note 10) and recognized as cost for debt restructuring.

  • USD$11.5 million due in March 2021 (see below); and

  • USD$11.5 million due in September 2021 (see below).

On December 13, 2020, the Company renegotiated the Pandion Loan for the entire outstanding balance of USD$23 million to be paid on or prior to December 7, 2021. As a condition for the extension, the Company will accrue interest from the date of the completion of the financing from Brunswick Gold Ltd. through to December 7, 2021 at a rate of 15% per annum. The financing from Brunswick Gold Ltd. was completed on February 8, 2021 (Note 10). As a result of the modification of the Pandion Loan, the Company recognized an income from debt restructuring of $419,757.

Pandion is also entitled to a 2.5% net smelter return (“Royalty Provision”) on gold production from the Otso Gold Mine.

The Royalty Provision is considered to be a derivative to be recognized on the statement on financial position at fair value. The Pandion Loan of USD$23 million is a financial liability carried at amortized cost.

The continuity of the Pandion Loan and the Royalty Provision was as follows:

Average exchange rate USD/CAD 1.24
Discount factor 93%

8 Convertible debentures

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the Company issued in total $419,000 of convertible debentures. The debentures were unsecured, bear interest at 9% per annum, were due on June 30, 2020 and convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.10 per share. The conversion feature of the convertible debenture was accounted for as an embedded derivative. The principal amount was repaid during the period ended April 30, 2021.

During March 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures with face value of $4,671,250, discounted 20%, for total proceeds of $3,665,450. Of these convertible debentures, $1,532,700 (EUR 1 million) were issued as payment towards an existing payable to Tallqvist Infa OY (“Tallqvist”) (Note 13). Debentures totalling face value of $2,715,375 were issued to Pandion for proceeds of $2,100,750. Pandion is considered to be a related party to the Company due to its holdings of the Company’s common shares (Note 10).

These unsecured debentures bear interest at 10% per annum and are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to the greater of $0.10 per share and the conversion date closing market price less a 20% discount. These debentures are due on March 26, 2023. The Company has an option of paying any interest due in common shares of the Company, with the number of such common shares being dependent on their market value on the date prior to the interest payment. Otso also has a right to redeem the debentures at their face value plus any accrued but unpaid interest prior to the maturity date.

During the year ended January 31, 2021, a total of 4,671,250 common shares, with fair value of $186,850, were issued to related parties as finders fees for these convertible debentures.

The amount of the claim was EUR 6,900,898 with penalty interest at 8% and legal costs (“Tallqvist Debt”).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

EUR 1,000,000 by issuance of a convertible debenture to Tallqvist as additional payment towards the settlement amount of the Tallqvist Debt (Note 8).

During December 2020, the Company and Tallqvist entered into a second amendment agreement whereby, upon closing of the financing with Brunswick Gold Ltd. (Note 10), Otso agreed to make various payments to Tallqvist as follows:

  • All outstanding interest on the convertible debentures (Note 8);

  • Interest payment of 3%, out of the total interest of 8% on the Tallqvist Debt, to be made on a monthly basis starting February 2021 with the remaining 5% to be paid together with the Tallqvist Debt; and

  • The Tallqvist Debt to be paid in its entirety on December 7, 2021.

The Company’s management believes that all of the terms of the Tallqvist Debt have been met to date.

  • b) Former employees of Otso Gold Oy have filed lawsuits claiming unlawful dismissal. The claims are demanding EUR 513,513 as compensation along with penalty interest and legal costs.
