POWER GROUP PROJECTS CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars – unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
- a) Nature of Operations
Power Group Projects Corp. (formerly Cobalt Power Group Inc.), (the “Company ”) was incorporated under the BC Business Corporations Act on December 14, 2009, and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ( “TSX:V” ) under the symbol “PGP” and the OTCQB under the symbol “PGPGF”.
The Company maintains its head office and registered office at 999 West Hastings Street, Suite 520, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2W2.
The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of resource properties. The Company presently has no proven or probable reserves, and on the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. Consequently, the Company considers itself to be an exploration stage company.
- b) Continuance of Operations and Going Concern
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim 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 its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these interim 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.
The Company incurred a comprehensive loss for the period ended October 31, 2023 of $118,464 (2022: $1,477,712). As at October 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $29,502 (January 31, 2023: $74,319), working capital deficit of $84,087 (January 31, 2023: $25,991 surplus) and an accumulated deficit of $27,466,948 (January 31, 2023: $27,348,480) since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue operations in the normal course of business is dependent upon establishing sufficient cash flows from their exploration projects or on the receipt of additional debt or equity financing. The nature and significance of these conditions, along with the continuing losses and accumulated deficit, cast significant doubt about the appropriateness of the going concern. These interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different than those reflected in the interim financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of Compliance
These interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
This interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2023.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2023, with the exception of certain amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB. These amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s interim financial statements.
The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. These interim financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency, and have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The accounting policies set out in Note 3 of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements at January 31, 2023, have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these interim financial statements.
These interim financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on December 18, 2023.
b) Basis of Consolidation
These interim financial statements of the Company include the transactions and balances of its subsidiaries, Canadian Cobalt Projects Inc., Little Trout Cobalt Development Corp., Ontario Cobalt Property Developers Inc., Pallplat Metals Inc. and Western Cobalt Corp., which are wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Ontario, Canada. The Company consolidates its subsidiaries on the basis that it controls the subsidiaries. In determining whether the Company controls each subsidiary, management is required to assess the definition of control in accordance with IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefits from its activities. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.
c) Basis of Measurement
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
In addition, these interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar, being the currency of the economic environment of the Company’s operations. The functional currency is also the presentation currency.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
- c) Basis of Measurement (Continued)
The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. See Note 5 for Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim financial statements set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in all material respects.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net and comprehensive loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common shares.
The dilutive effect of the options and warrants are computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations is anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The Company expenses exploration and evaluation expenditures as incurred. Exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition cost of mineral properties, property payments and evaluation activities. Once a project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, related development expenditures are capitalized. This includes costs incurred in preparing the site for mining operations. Capitalization ceases when the mine is capable of commercial production, with the exception of development costs that give rise to a future benefit.
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, the title to its properties are in good standing.

POWER GROUP PROJECTS CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars – unaudited)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Share-Based Payments
Equity-settled share-based payments for directors, officers, employees and consultants are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the stock option grant date and recorded as an expense in the financial statements. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share- based payments is expensed using the graded vesting method over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest. Consideration paid by optionees on exercise of stock options together with their fair values is credited to share capital.
Compensation expense on stock options granted to consultants is measured at the earlier of the completion of performance and the date the options are vested at the fair value of the goods and services received and are recorded as an expense in the same period as if the Company had paid cash for the goods or services received. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the sharebased payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
Share Capital
Share issue costs
Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issue costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as non-current deferred assets. Share issue costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.
Value of warrants
Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants using the relative fair value approach to calculate the fair value allocation between common shares and share purchase warrants. The value of unit warrants and compensatory warrants issued to brokers is determined by using the BlackScholes model.
Flow-through shares
The Company provides certain share subscribers with a flow-through component for tax incentives available on qualifying Canadian exploration expenditures. The increase to share capital when flowthrough shares are issued is measured based on the current market price of common shares. Any premium, being the excess of the proceeds over the market value of the common shares, is recorded as a liability. At the later of the renouncing and the incurrence of the expenditure, the Company de-recognizes the liability, and the premium amount is recognized as other income in the statement of operations. The Company may be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds, renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.

POWER GROUP PROJECTS CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars – unaudited)
4. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
The significant areas of estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
(i) Share-based compensation expense:
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options in order to calculate share-based compensation expense. The Black-Scholes model involves six key inputs to determine the fair value of an option: risk-free interest rate, exercise price, market price at the date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates that involve considerable judgment and are or could be affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control. The Company is also required to estimate the future forfeiture rate of options based on historical information in its calculation of share-based compensation expense.
- (ii) Valuation of broker warrants:
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of broker warrants issued in connection with the Company’s private placements. The Black-Scholes model requires six key inputs to determine a value for a broker warrant: risk free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates which involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control. For example, a longer expected life of the broker warrant or a higher volatility number used would result in an increase in the broker warrant fair value.
(iii) Collectability of related party receivables:
Management makes an assessment of whether the related party receivables are collectable for each recipient based on payment history and financial condition. These estimates are continuously evaluated and updated.
The significant areas of judgment considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
(i) Going concern:
The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has no sources of revenue and remains dependent on its ability to obtain financing which may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

4. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (Continued)
(ii) Deferred tax assets:
Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of tax losses and other temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies.
