CLEAR SKY LITHIUM CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars, except where noted)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Clear Sky Lithium Corp. (the “Company”) is in the business of the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on June 25, 2018. The address of the Company's registered and records office is 1021 West Hastings Street, 9th floor, Vancouver, BC, V6E 0C3.
On June 13, 2022, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the ticker symbol “POWR”.
On July 7, 2022, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on OTC Markets Exchange under the ticker symbol “CSKYF”.
On July 12, 2022, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FRA: K4A / WKN: A3DM2W”.
a) Going concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss and net comprehensive loss of $701,907 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 (2021 - $153,585) and has working capital surplus of $149,064, and accumulated deficit of $3,388,783 as at November 30, 2022 (August 31, 2022 - $459,774 working capital surplus and $2,686,876, respectively). The Company has no source of operating cash flows, and there is no assurance that sufficient funding (including adequate financing) will be available to conduct the required exploration and development of mineral property projects. These factors present a material uncertainty over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The application of the going concern assumption is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate future profitable operations and receive continued financial support from its creditors and shareholders. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
b) COVID-19
The coronavirus pandemic continues to have global impacts on workforces, economies, and financial markets. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of any adverse effects that the pandemic may have on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds. As at the date of these financial statements, COVID-19 has had no impact on the Company’s ability to access capital, but there is no certainty as to how future developments may impact the Company’s ability to raise funding or conduct exploration and evaluation activities should travel restrictions related to COVID-19 be extended or expanded in scope.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance on January 23, 2023 by the Board of Directors of the Company.
These financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting . These financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual audited financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 (the “annual financial statements”), which include the information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
b) Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at their fair value, as explained in the accounting policies in the annual financial statements. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cashflow information. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. References to “US$” are United States dollars.
c) Basis of consolidation
These financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commenced until the date that control ceases.
A summary of the Company’s subsidiaries included in these financial statements are as follows:
| Country of | Percentage | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Name of subsidiary | incorporation | Ownership | Principal activity |
| 1291455 B.C. LTD | Canada | 100% | Holding company and mineral exploration |
| ClearSkyLithium NevadaInc | US | 100% | Mineralexploration |
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the preparation of these financial statements, the Company used the same accounting policies as in the annual financial statements.
4. ACQUISITION
On December 23, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of 1291455 B.C. LTD. (“1291455BC”), a Canada and US based mining and exploration company.
Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement (the “SPA Transaction”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 1291455BC for consideration of $1,037,412, which was satisfied by the issuance of 3,468,736 units; each unit is composed of one common share and one warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share at a price of $0.10 for 36 months after the closing date. The fair value of a common share was estimated at $0.164 per share based on the implied price from a subsequent financing on January 17, 2022 (Note 9(a)). The fair value of warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a share price of $0.164, an exercise price of $0.10, an estimated weighted average life of three years, volatility of 114%, and a risk-free interest rate of 0.94%. Pursuant to the terms of the SPA Transaction, the Company assumed the obligation to issue shares with the total fair value of $38,951 (Note 6(a)).
As 1291455BC did not meet the definition of a business under in IFRS 3 Business Combinations , the SPA Transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment . Accordingly, the fair value of the consideration in excess of the fair value of the net liabilities assumed, was recognized as an acquisition expense.

6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)
a) ELi Property
As a result of the SPA Transaction (Note 4), on December 23, 2021, the Company acquired a 100% interest in 26 unpatented mining claims situated in Eureka County and Nye County, Nevada, (the “ELi Property”) with a fair value of $127,500. The fair value on acquisition was determined based on the price that was paid by 1291455BC in an arm’s length transaction prior to it being acquired by the Company.
On November 16, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary, 1291455BC, purchased a 100% interest in the ELi Property for purchase consideration comprising US$50,000 cash and 100,000 common shares of 1291455BC with a contractual value of US$50,000 (the “share contractual value”) or US$0.50 per share. On June 13, 2022, the Company completed the initial public offering process and was listed on CSE with the share price of $0.25, which was lower than the share contractual value of US$0.50. Pursuant to the agreement, an obligation to issue shares of $38,951 was recognized in connection with this requirement (Note 4). In addition, the Company agreed to provide the seller with a gross returns mineral production royalty of 2% from the production of minerals from the ELi Property and any unpatented mining claims that the Company locates in an identified area of interest.
b) Halo Project
On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with Halo Lithium LLC (the “Optionor”) to acquire a 100% interest in 98 mineral claims located in Esmeralda and Nye Counties, Nevada, (the “Halo Project”). The option agreement requires a series of cash payments, reimbursement of expenses and share consideration as follows:
-
$319,914 (US$250,000) cash, $97,917 (US$76,518) reimbursement of expenses, and 1,865,269 common shares of the Company payable within five days of the effective date of the agreement (fully paid and issued). The fair value of this first tranche of shares was measured as $1,212,425 based on a $0.65 per share market price on the date of issuance.
-
US$200,000 cash and 1,250,000 common shares of the Company payable on or before the August 4, 2023.
-
US$200,000 cash and 500,000 common shares of the Company payable on or before the August 4, 2024.

Pursuant to the Halo Project option agreement, the Company incurred finder’s fees requiring the issuance of common shares (“Finder’s fee shares”) in separate tranches as follows:
-
118,406 common shares due within five days of the effective date of the agreement (issued)

-
30,000 common shares and common shares equal to US$12,000 due on August 4, 2024.
The fair value of the first tranche of the Finder’s fee shares was measured as $76,964 based on the $0.65 per share market price on the date of issuance. Pursuant to the finder’s fee agreement, the Company is obligated to issue the remaining 105,000 common shares, as and when the option agreement payments are made.

The Company provides information about its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet an obligation under contract. The Company’s cash is exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk by placing cash with financial institutions of high credit worthiness.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. As the Company’s operations do not generate cash, financial liabilities are discharged using funding through the issuance of common shares or debt as required.
At November 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $293,504 (August 31, 2022 - $444,917) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $224,114 (August 31, 2022 - $177,814) with contractual maturities of less than one year. The Company had sufficient cash to meet its current liabilities as at November 30, 2022. The Company assessed its liquidity risk as low as at November 30, 2022, however, will require additional financing to fund future operations.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company is not significantly exposed to market risk.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that it has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:
| November 30, | August 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2022 | |
| $ | $ | |
| Promissorynote | - | 26,222 |
As at November 30, 2022, the Company had no exposure to foreign currency risk, as a promissory note of $26,222 was repaid during the period. The Company has no foreign currency risk as at November 30, 2022. The Company does not currently use financial instruments designed to hedge these market risks.
12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s capital structure consists of all components of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management and consultants to sustain future development of the business.
The Company’s properties are in the exploration stage and as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds required.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach is reasonable given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the interim period ending November 30, 2022. The Company is not subject to any external covenants.
