Phenom Resources Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Phenom Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Phenom Resources”) is in the business of the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. The Company has an interest in properties located in Nevada and Arizona, USA. The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The common shares of the Company trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “PHNM”. The Company’s corporate head office is located at 1100-1199 W. Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
These condensed interim consolidated 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 carrying values as shown and these condensed interim consolidated 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. At February 29, 2024, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a deficit of $21,032,462 (November 30, 2023 – $20,592,524) since inception, a working capital of $318,260 (November 30, 2023 – working capital deficit $420,869), and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to explore its exploration property interests and to meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.
