PLANET VENTURES INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Planet Ventures Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in Canada on January 29, 1996 under the Alberta Business Corporations Act and continues under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. On June 28, 2017, the Company changed its name to Planet Ventures Inc. from Planet Mining Exploration Inc. The Company’s registered office and its principal place of business are located at Suite 303, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC Canada V6C 2T7. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V) under the trading symbol “PXI”.
From its inception up to October 2, 2014, the Company was in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing gold, copper, silver and other resource properties, both directly and through joint ventures in Canada. In October 2014, the Company changed its business from a “junior mineral exploration company” to an “investment issuer”.
The principal business of the Company is investing in a portfolio of common shares and other securities of publicly-listed and private companies to achieve capital appreciation of the portfolio.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak has continued to spread resulting in adverse public health developments. It has adversely affected global workforces, economies, and financial markets, triggering economic upheavals. It is not possible at this time for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak nor its future impacts on the Company’s business or operations.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the condensed interim financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

PLANET VENTURES INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
- (b) Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The Company meets the definition of an investment entity under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and measures its investment in relevant subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss (see note 5).
The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
- (c) Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of the revision and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from estimates made, relate to determination of the fair value of financial instruments (note 3(b)).
In preparing the financial statements, management makes judgments regarding the application of IFRS for the Company’s accounting policies. Significant judgments relate to the following areas:
- (i) Going concern assumption
Determining if the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations. Certain judgments are made when determining if the Company will achieve profitable operation.

PLANET VENTURES INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
-
(ii) Income taxes
-
Judgements are made by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the likelihood that deferred income tax assets will be realized from future taxable earnings. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make judgments related to the expectations of future cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws. While management believes judgements and the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those judgements and estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
-
(iii) Investment entity status
-
Determining if the Company meets the investment entity status under IFRS 10 requires significant judgment.
3. INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HIERARCHY
The fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making measurements. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
(i) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
-
(ii) Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2);
-
(iii) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
| June | 30, | 2021 | March 31, | 2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 1 | Level 2 | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 4,294,374 $ | - |

| private companies(b) | $ | -$ | 8,007 | $ | -$ | 8,007 |
The methods of measuring each of these financial assets have not changed during the past year. The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximate their carrying amounts.

3. INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HIERARCHY (continued)
(a) Equity investments in public companies
The Company’s equity investments are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of investment securities is calculated as the closing market price of the investment equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. Some of the equity investments are subject to a four-month statutory hold period. Stock options and warrants held that are not traded on an active market are remeasured using a valuation technique based on data inputs that are supported by observable current market conditions and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
- (b) Equity investments in private companies
All privately-held investments (other than options and warrants) are initially recorded at the transaction price, being the fair value at the time of acquisition. Thereafter, at each reporting period, the fair value of an investment may (depending upon the circumstances) be adjusted using one or more of the valuation indicators described below.
The determination of fair value of the Company’s privately-held investments at other than initial cost is subject to certain limitations. Financial information for private companies in which the Company has investments may not be available and, even if available, that information may be limited and/or unreliable.
Use of the valuation approach described below may involve uncertainties and determinations based on the Company’s judgment and any value estimated from these techniques may not be realized or realizable.
Company-specific information is considered when determining whether the fair value of a privately-held investment should be adjusted upward or downward at the end of each reporting period. Valuation techniques which use management-derived unobservable data specific to the investee are considered to be measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. In addition to company-specific information, the Company will take into account trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly-traded companies when valuing privately-held investments.
The absence of the occurrence of any events, such as a significant change in trends in general market conditions, or any significant change in share performance of comparable publiclytraded companies indicates generally that the fair value of the investment has not materially changed. The fair value of a privately-held investment may be adjusted if there has been a significant subsequent equity financing provided by outside investors at a valuation different than the current value of the investee company, in which case the fair value of the investment is set to the value at which that financing took place.

3. INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HIERARCHY (continued)
- (b) Equity investments in private companies (continued)
Adjustments to the fair value of a privately-held investment will be based upon management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable. The resulting values for non-publicly traded investments may differ from values that would be realized if a ready market existed. In addition, the amounts at which the Company’s privately-held investments could be disposed of currently may differ from the carrying value assigned.
- (c) Fair market value and original cost of investments
Investments at original cost and fair value consist of the following:

8. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, fair value risk and interest rate risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
(a) Capital management
The Company manages its capital to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide adequate returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to have sufficient funds on hand for business opportunities as they arise. The Company considers the items included in equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placements, the sale of assets, debt, or return of capital to shareholders. As at June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any debt, other than accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and was not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances to meet current working capital requirements.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and receivables.
The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents, and other assets with high-credit quality financial institutions, and obtains security from creditors on receivables when possible.
The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held with major Canadianbased financial institutions. As at June 30, 2021 the Company estimates the credit risk associated with receivables as $nil.
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company does not have any exposure to any highly inflationary foreign currencies.

8. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT(continued)
(d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company’s profit and losses. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash equivalents and reclamation bond. The Company's practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest, in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders.
There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any guaranteed bank investment certificates included in reclamation bond as they are generally held with large financial institutions.
(e) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices.
The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments, and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favourable prices.
In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company is required to remeasure its investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. This process could result in significant writedowns of the Company’s investments over one or more reporting periods, particularly during periods of overall market instability, which would have a significant unfavourable effect on the Company’s financial position.
The Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk as the Company’s has fixed interestbearing debt. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
The result of sensitivity analysis shows an increase or decrease of 5% in the market price, with all other variables held constant, could have decreased or increased the Company’s net loss by approximately $242,021 as at March 31, 2021 (2020 - $478,162).

8. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT(continued)
- (f) Concentration risk in the Company’s investment portfolio
Concentration risk is the risk that any single investment or group of investments will have the potential to materially affect the operating results of the Company.
Subject to board approval for investments in excess of a pre-determined threshold, there are no restrictions on the proportion of Company’s funds and no limit on the amount of funds that may be allocated to any particular investment, industry or sector. Accordingly, the Company’s investment activities may be highly concentrated in a limited number of investments or industry sectors and the Company’s financial results may be substantially adversely affected by the unfavourable performance in those investments or industry sectors.
As at June 30, 2021, the Company’s top two investments had a fair value of $3,471,274 in publicly traded companies, representing 72% of the fair value of the Company’s publicly traded companies portfolio (March 31, 2021 – $1,688,735 or 42%).
