This Offering is made on a commercially reasonable efforts basis by the Agent. The Offering Price was determined by negotiation between the Issuer and the Agent. All fundsreceived from subscriptionsfor Common Shares will be held by the Agent pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") entered into between the Issuer and the Agent on ●, 2023 and referred to under "Plan of Distribution". Unless an amendment to the final prospectusis filed and the "principal regulator" underNational Policy 11-202 Process for Prospectus Reviews in Multiple Jurisdictions (the "Securities Regulatory Authority") has issued a receipt for the amendment, the latest date that the distribution is to remain open is 90 days after the date of issuance of a receipt for the final prospectus by the Securities Regulatory Authority.

Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Agent will receive the Agent's Option entitling the Agent to purchase that number of Common Shares equal to 10% of the number of Common Shares sold under the Offering at a price of $0.10 per Common Share, exercisable for a period of 24 months from the listing date of the Common Shares. The Agent's Option and the Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Agent's Option are qualified for distribution under this prospectus to the maximum extent permitted by NI 41-101. See "Plan of Distribution – Agency Agreement and Agent's Compensation".

The Issuer has applied to list the Common Shares on the Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Issuer fulfilling all of the requirements of the Exchange, including distribution of the Common Sharesto a minimum number of public security holders.

There is no market through which the Common Shares may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Common Shares purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Common Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".

Upon completion ofthis Offering, purchasers willsuffer an immediate dilution (based on the gross proceedsfrom this and priorissueswithout deduction ofselling and related expenses) per Common Share of approximately 25% or $0.025 per Common Share. The Issuer was only recently incorporated and does not currently own any assets other than cash.

As at the date of the prospectus, the Issuer does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities, and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America (other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group plc).

Other than the initial distribution of Common Shares pursuant to this prospectus and the grant of the Agent's Option, trading in all securities of the Issuer is prohibited during the period between the date a receipt for the preliminary prospectus is issued by the applicable securities regulatory authorities and the time the Common Shares are listed for trading except, subject to prior acceptance of the Exchange, where appropriate registration and prospectus exemptions are available undersecuritieslegislation or where the applicable securitiesregulatory authorities grant a discretionary order.

The Issuer does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The Offering is only suitable to investors who are prepared to rely entirely on the directors and management of the Issuer and can afford to risk the loss of their entire investment. The directors and officers of the Issuer will only devote part of their time and attention to the affairs of the Issuer and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Issuer will be subject in connection with the operations of the Issuer. Assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution (based on the gross proceeds from this Offering and prior issuances without deduction forselling commissions or related expenses) perCommon Share of $0.025 or 25% if the Offering is realized. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Issuer's Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the Common Shares. Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Issuer has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction.

The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. It may therefore be difficult or impossible to effectservice or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers and experts outside of Canada and it may not be possible to enforce judgments against such persons or companies obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securitieslaws in Canada.

Investment in the Common Shares offered by this prospectus is highly speculative due to the nature of the Issuer's business and its present stage of development. This Offering is suitable only to those investors who are prepared to risk the loss of their entire investment. See "Risk Factors".

This Offering is subject to the CPC Policy and the securities laws of the Offering Jurisdiction.

Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer will not carry on any business other than theidentification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Issuer has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance thatthe Issuer will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction.

The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. It may therefore be difficult or impossible to effectservice or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers andexperts outside of Canada and it may not be possible to enforce judgments againstsuch persons or companies obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securities laws in Canada. See "Business of the Issuer", "Method of Financing", "Directors, Officers and Promoters", "Capitalization", "Dilution", "Risk Factors" and "Conflicts of Interest".

The head office of the Issuer is located at Suite 2250, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E2E9**.**The registered office ofthe Issuerislocated at Suite 2250, 1055WestHastingsStreet, Vancouver,British Columbia, V6E 2E9. The Issuer does not have any subsidiaries.

BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER

Funds Raised and Preliminary Expenses

As of the date hereof, the Issuer has raised a total of $100,000 through the sale of 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.05 per share, all of which were sold to its directors and officers.

Other than the legal fees and expenses related to the organization of the Issuer and the preparation of this prospectus in the amount of $23,539, the Issuer has not incurred any additional expenses to date in proceeding with the Offering. However, certain of the Offering proceeds will be utilized to satisfy the obligations of the Issuer related to the Offering, including the expenses of its auditor and legal expenses of the Issuer and the Agent and the Administration Fee payable to the Agent. See "Use of Proceeds".

Proposed Operations until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction

The Issuer proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction is also subject to Majority of the Minority Approval in accordance with the CPC Policy. The Issuer has not conducted commercial operations or initiated the process of identifying potential acquisitions or interests. The Issuer currently intends to pursue a Qualifying Transaction in either the technology or industrial sector but there is no assurance that either sector will, in fact, be the business sector of a proposed Qualifying Transaction or of the Issuer following the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction. With the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as described under "Private Placements for Cash", and "Restrictions on Use of Proceeds", the funds raised pursuant to this Offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.

The Issuer has not yet entered into an Agreement in Principle.

Method of Financing

The Issuer may use cash, bank financing, the issuance of treasury shares, private or public debt or equity financing or a combination of these for the purpose of financing its proposed Qualifying Transaction. A Qualifying Transaction financed by the issuance of treasury shares could result in a change of control of the Issuer and may cause the shareholders' interest in the Issuer to be further diluted.

Criteria for a Qualifying Transaction

The Issuer will consider acquisitions of assets or businesses operated or located both inside and outside of Canada, as permitted by the CPC Policy. The board of directors will examine proposed acquisitions having regard to the sound business fundamentals, utilizing the expertise and experience of the directors of the Issuer. The board of directors of the Issuer must approve any proposed Qualifying Transaction. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to a proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors will act honestly and in good faith having regard to the best interests of the Issuer and will exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Process of Identification of a Qualifying Transaction

The Issuer proposes to identify acquisitions of interests in assets or businesses through discussions with various business associates and contacts of the Issuer's directors. Once a prospective acquisition target has been identified and evaluated, the Issuer will proceed to negotiate the terms upon which it may acquire an interest in the asset or business.

Filings and Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction

Upon the Issuer reaching a Qualifying Transaction Agreement, the Issuer must issue a comprehensive news release, at which time the Exchange generally will halt trading in the Issuer's Shares until the filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied asset forth under "Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting" below. Within 75 days after issuance of such news release, the Issuer shall be required to submit for review to the Exchange a Disclosure Document that complies with Exchange requirements containing prospectus level disclosure of the Significant Assets and the Issuer, assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer must obtain Majority of the Minority Approval of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, the Exchange will not require the Issuer to obtain shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction provided that it files the CPC Filing Statement or a Prospectus.

Once the Conditional Acceptance Documents have been accepted for filing, the Exchange will advise the Issuerthat it is cleared to file the final Disclosure Document on SEDAR and:

  • (a) where shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction is not required, the Issuer must file the final CPC Filing Statement or Prospectus on SEDAR at least seven business days prior to:
    • (i) the resumption of trading in the securities of the Resulting Issuer following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction if the securities of the Issuer are halted from trading; or
    • (ii) the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Issuer are not halted from trading;
  • (b) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained at a meeting of shareholders, the Issuer will file on SEDAR and mail to its shareholders the notice of meeting, CPC Information Circular and form of proxy, together with any other required documents; and
  • (c) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained by written consent, the Issuer will file on SEDAR the final Disclosure Document.

If required by the Exchange, the Issuer will retain a Sponsor, who must be a Member of the Exchange or a Participating Organization of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and who will be required to submit to the Exchange a Sponsor Report prepared in accordance with Exchange Policies. The Issuer will no longer be considered to be a CPC upon the Exchange having issued the Final Exchange Bulletin. The Exchange will generally not issue the Final Exchange Bulletin until the Exchange has received:

  • (a) confirmation of shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction, if required;
  • (b) confirmation of closing of the Qualifying Transaction; and
  • (c) all post-meeting or final documentation, as applicable, otherwise required to be filed with the Exchange pursuant to the CPC Policy.

Upon issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin, the CPC Policy will generally cease to apply to the Issuer, with the exception of the escrow provisions of the CPC Policy.

Initial Listing Requirements

The Resulting Issuer must satisfy the Exchange's Initial Listing Requirements for the particular industry sector in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 as prescribed under the applicable Exchange Policies.

Trading Halts, Suspension and Delisting

The Exchange will generally halt trading in the Common Shares from the date of the public announcement of a Qualifying Transaction Agreement until all filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied, which includes the submission of a Sponsorship Acknowledgment Form, where the Qualifying Transaction is subject to sponsorship. In addition, personal information forms or, if applicable, declarations for all individuals who may be directors, officers, Promoters, or Insiders of the Resulting Issuer must be filed with the Exchange and any preliminary background searches that the Exchange considers necessary or advisable must be completed before the trading halt will be lifted by the Exchange.

Even if all filing requirements have been satisfied and preliminary background checks completed, the Exchange may continue or reinstate the halt in trading of the Common Shares for public policy reasons including:

  • (a) the unacceptable nature of the business of the Resulting Issuer, or
  • (b) the number of conditions precedent to, or the nature and number of deficiencies required to be resolved prior to, completion of the Qualifying Transaction are so significant or numerous as to make it appear to the Exchange that the halt should be reinstated or continued.

A trading halt may also be imposed by the Exchange where the Issuer fails to file the supporting documents relating to the Qualifying Transaction within a period of 75 days after public announcement of the Qualifying Transaction Agreement or if the Issuer fails to file post-meeting or final documents, as applicable, within the time required. A trading halt may also be imposed if a Sponsor terminates its sponsorship.

In the event that the Common Shares of the Issuer are delisted by the Exchange, within 90 days from the date of such delisting, the Issuer shall wind up and shall make a pro rata distribution of its remaining assets to its shareholders, unless shareholders, pursuant to a majority vote exclusive of the votes of Non-Arm's Length Partiesto the Issuer, determine the deal with the Issuer or its remaining assetsin some other manner. See "Filings and Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction" above.

Refusal of Qualifying Transaction

The Exchange, in its sole discretion, may not accept a Qualifying Transaction where:

  • (a) the Resulting Issuer fails to satisfy the applicable Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction;
  • (b) the Resulting Issuer will be a mutual fund, as defined in applicable securities legislation; or
  • (c) notwithstanding the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, there is any other reason for denying acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction.

Any holding company must also sign an undertakingto the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize securities to be issued or transferred if it could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company.

The Exchange's prior consent must be obtained before a transfer within escrow of escrowed Shares. Generally, the Exchange will only permit a transfer within escrow to be made to existing Principals of the Issuer and/or to incoming Principals in connection with a proposed Qualifying Transaction.

If a Final Exchange Bulletin is not issued, the escrowed Shares will not be released. Under the Escrow Agreement, upon the issuance by the Exchange of a bulletin delisting the Issuer, the Trustee is irrevocably authorized to:

    1. there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop, and an investor may find it difficult to resell their Common Shares;
    1. until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions;

    1. even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Issuer willbe able to successfully complete the transaction; the failure to complete a Qualifying Transaction could result in the delisting of the Issuer's Common Shares from the Exchange, and the entire loss of a purchaser's investment;
    1. Completion of a Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority

Approval;

    1. unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Issuer of fair value for the Common Shares;
    1. upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Common Shares ofthe Issuer will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained (if required) and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted.

    1. in the event that management of the Issuer resides outside of Canada or the Issuer identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canadaor upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts;
    1. the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities bythe Issuer and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant, and which may also result in a change of control of the Issuer; and
    1. subject to prior Exchange acceptance, the Issuer may be permitted to loan or advance up to the greater of $250,000 and 20% ofits working capital to a target business withoutshareholder approvaland there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to recover that loan.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Buttonwood Law Corporation, counsel for the Issuer, at the time of Closing, provided thatthe Common Shares are at that time listed and posted for trading on a designated stock exchange (which includes Tiers 1 and 2 of the Exchange), the Common Shares will, at that time, be qualified investments underthe Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and the regulations thereto in effect on the date hereof for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP"), registered retirement income fund ("RRIF"), registered disability savings plan, deferred profit sharing plan, registered education savings plan or tax free savings account("TFSA"), all as defined in the Tax Act (collectively, the "Investment Plans").

The Common Shares are not currently listed on a designated stock exchange and the Issuer is not currentlya "public corporation", as that term is defined in the Tax Act. The Issuer has applied to list the Common Shares on the Exchange as of the day before the Closing of the Offering, followed by an immediate halt in trading of the Common Shares in order to allow the Issuer to satisfy the conditions of the Exchange and to have the Common Shares listed and posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares on the Closing of the Offering and to otherwise proceed in such manner as may be required to result in the CommonShares being listed on the Exchange at the time of their issuance on Closing. If the Common Shares are notlisted and posted for trading on the Exchange at the time of their issuance on the Closing of the Offering, theCommon Shares will not be qualified investments for the Investment Plans at that time. It is counsel's understanding that the Listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange is a condition of Closing.

Notwithstanding that a Common Share may be a qualified investment, if the Common Shares are a "prohibited investment" (as defined in the Tax Act) for a trust governed by a TFSA, RRSP or RRIF (a "Registered Plan"),the holder of the TFSA or the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, asthe case may be, (suchholder or annuitant being a "Controlling Individual" of the Registered Plan) will be subject to a penalty tax inrespect of the Common Shares as set out in the Tax Act. A Common Share will generally not be a prohibitedinvestment for a trust governed by a Registered Plan provided that the Controlling Individual of the Registered Plan deals at arm's length with the Issuer for the purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Issuer. In general terms, a Controlling Individual ofa Registered Plan will have a significant interest in the Issuer if the Registered Plan, the Controlling Individual, and other persons not dealing at arm's length with the Controlling Individual together, directly or indirectly, own not less than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares or of any other class ofshares of theIssuer or of any other corporation that isrelated to the Issuer. Investors should consult their own tax advisorswith respect to whether Common Shares will be a prohibited investment having regard to their particular circumstances.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Pardus Ventures Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on December 9, 2022 under the laws of British Columbia. The Company is in the process of completing an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") and listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V") (Note 12). The Company is applying to be a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined in the TSX-V Policy 2.4. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no significant assets. The activities of the Company are initially limited to the efforts to identify and evaluate the acquisition of assets and business, which would represent a "Qualifying Transaction" for regulatory purposes. The head office and the records and registered office is located at 2250 - 1055 W Hastings St. Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2E9.

Since incorporation on December 9, 2022, the Company has had no active business operations and has no assets other than subscription receivable. As a CPC, the Company's principal business objective will be to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potential acquisition or participation by completing a Qualifying Transaction, as defined in Exchange Policy 2.4 subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of business, and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition thereof or participation therein subject to receipt of regulatory and, if required, shareholders' approval.

These financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on March XX, 2023.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

a) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

b) Share capital

Common shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share purchase options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

The proceeds from the issue of units are allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares and any residual value is allocated to common share purchase warrants.

c) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive. As there were no stock options outstanding during the period covered by these financial statements, there is no dilutive effect on basic loss per share.

d) 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.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

d) Financial instruments (continued)

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

The Company has implemented the following classifications:

  • Cash is classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss and any period change in fair value is recorded in profit or loss.
  • Subscription receivable is classified as a financial asset at amortized cost.
  • Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Measurement

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset or 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 with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

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).

Impairment

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

e) Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The effect of a change in accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

Information about critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:

Judgements

Going concern

Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its financial statements for the period from incorporation on December 9, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Management prepares the financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Company's management has made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future.

Estimates

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

5. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Future accounting standards

As the date of authorization of these financial statements, certain new standards and amendments to existing standards have been published by the IASB that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, interpretations and amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has identified its directors and certain senior officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them are recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties.

As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts due to/from related parties. Also see notes 7 and 12.

7. SHARE CAPITAL

a) Authorized

Unlimited number of common shares without par value.

b) Issued and outstanding

As at December 31, 2022, the issued share capital comprised of 2,000,000 common shares.

Since incorporation, the Company issued 2,000,000 seed common shares of the Company at a price of $0.05 per share for total proceeds of $100,000. All of these shares were issued to related parties and the Company recorded a subscription receivable as at December 31, 2022 and the funds were received in full in January 2023.

c) Stock options

There is no stock option issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Also see note 12.

8. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the period from incorporation on December 9, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $17,627 and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 2,000,000.

9. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

Capital is composed of the Company's shareholders' equity and any debt that it may issue. As at December 31, 2022, the Company's shareholders' equity was $82,373 and it had current liabilities of $17,627. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial viability and to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain credit worthiness, and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements, and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.

The Company's current capital was received from the issuance of common shares. The net proceeds raised to date will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of assets and businesses for the purpose of identifying and completing a Qualifying Transaction.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than the expenditure restrictions applicable under Policy 2.4, which apply on completion of the IPO. These expenditure restrictions limit the aggregate amount that the Company is permitted to spend on reasonable general and administrative costs of the Company not exceeding in aggregate of $3,000 per month, and reasonable expenses incurred related to a Qualifying Transaction.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments 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 of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and
  • Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market date.

The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Financial Risk Management

The Company's financial instruments carried at amortized cost, consist of subscription receivables and accounts payables and accrued liabilities which approximate fair value due to the relatively shortterm maturity 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.

11. INCOME TAXES

The following is a reconciliation of income taxes attributable to operations computed at the statutory tax rates to income tax recovery:

From December 9, 2022(incorporation) to December 31,2022
Net loss before taxStatutory tax rate $(17,627)27%
Expected income tax (recovery)Change in deferred tax asset not recognized (4,759)4,759
Total income tax expense (recovery) $-

Deferred taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax values.

The unrecognized deductible temporary differences as at December 31, 2022 are comprised of the following:

December 31, 2022
Non-capital losses $17,627
Unrecognized tax losses $17,627

11. INCOME TAXES (continued)

The Company has non-capital loss carryforwards of approximately $17,627, expiring in 2042, which may be carried forward to apply against future year income tax for Canadian income tax purposes, subject to the final determination by taxation authorities.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company is pursuing an initial public offering (the "IPO") of up to 2,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per share to raise gross proceeds of $200,000 and, on January 11, 2023, entered into an engagement agreement with Leede Jones Gable Inc., (the "Agent") as agent for the IPO. The Agent will receive a commission of 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the common shares pursuant to the IPO. In addition, the Company will pay the Agent a corporate finance fee of $15,000 and will pay the Agent's legal fees, and any other reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent. The Company has paid the Agent a due diligence deposit in the amount of $20,000 to be applied towards its costs and expenses. The Company has also agreed to issue options to the Agent to purchase up to 10% of the total number of common shares sold pursuant to the IPO at an exercise price of $0.10 per common share. The options will expire 24 months from the closing of the IPO.

Subsequent to the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan (the 'Plan") whereby the Company may issue stock options up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares, not to exceed 400,000 while the Company remains a CPC, of the Company to eligible directors, officers, employees or consultants. These options may be granted for a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and vest as determined by the board of directors. The exercise price will be set by the directors at the time of grant and cannot be less than the discounted market price of the Company's common shares, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.05.

Any common shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options under the Plan prior to completion of the Qualifying Transaction must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to escrow until the final exchange bulletin is issued.
