Going Concern
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future. These conditions suggest a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At January 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $352,455 (April 30, 2025 - $1,052).
At January 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $449,913 (April 30, 2025 - $749,682).
The Company expects its current capital resources will not be sufficient to meet its business objectives or day-to-day operations through its next quarter or current operating year, and that its continuation as a going concern will be dependent on its ability to raise additional funds through equity issuances. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in that regard. See "Overview and Going Concern" above.
Financial Risk Factors
The Company has applied a three-level hierarchy to reflect the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements. The three levels of 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 assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible securities, and subscriptions receivable. The fair value of the accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash and marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs. Convertible securities are measured using level 2 inputs as it uses observable inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including credit, liquidity, currency, interest rate, and other price risk. The Company’s exposure to and management of these risks has not changed materially from that of the prior year.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. A portion of the Company’s expenses are denominated in US dollars. As the Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar, the Company is exposed to risk from changes in the US dollar exchange rate. The amounts are minimal and any risk due to foreign currency fluctuations is not significant.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits. The fair value interest rate risk on bank deposits is insignificant as the deposits are short term.
The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company exposure to price risk primarily attributed to marketable securities at January 31, 2026. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and subscriptions receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with a high credit quality financial institution in Canada. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the aggregate carrying amount of cash and subscriptions receivable.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from private placements, option exercises and warrant exercises to meet its working capital requirements, after taking into account existing cash and expected exercise of share purchase warrants and options.
Management believes that it will be successful in raising the necessary funds however, given the current market conditions, management believes that the raising of the required funds will take longer than is normal and will be at prices that may be less than desirable. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company does not have significant liquidity risk as all of its financial liabilities are current in nature.
