Supplemental disclosures with respect to cash flows (Note 11)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Quadro Resources Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and maintains its head office and registered office at Suite 1500, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4H8. The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets in Canada. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol "QRO", on the OTCQB under the symbol "QDROF", and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "G4O2".
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations.
In order to continue as a going concern and meet its corporate objectives, the Company will require additional financing through debt or equity issuances or other available means. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.
At present, the Company's operations do not generate cash flow. The Company has incurred losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of \$12,019,418 as at October 31, 2020, all of which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise adequate financing, identify economically recoverable reserves and to commence profitable operations in the future.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence. These adjustments could be material.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds at this time.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont'd…)
Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company's management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include:
- i) The determination of the fair value of stock options and warrants using stock pricing models, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate; therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options and warrants.
- ii) The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values.
- iii) Recorded costs of flow-through share premium liabilities reflect the premium received by the Company on the issue of flow-through shares. The premium is subject to measurement uncertainly and requires the Company to assess the value of non-flow through shares. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the premium liability.
- iv) Option or sale agreements, under which the Company may receive shares as payment, require the Company to determine the fair value of the shares received. Many factors can enter into this determination, including, if public shares, the number of shares received, the trading value of the shares, and volume of shares, and if nonpublic shares, the underlying asset value of the shares, or value of the claims under option or sale. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the shares received.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont'd…)
Significant judgments
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company's financial statements include:
i) Recorded costs of mineral property interests and deferred exploration and evaluation costs are not intended to reflect present or future values of these properties. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount. Management is required, at each reporting date, to review its mineral property interests for signs of impairment. This is a highly subjective process taking into consideration exploration results, metal prices, economics, financing prospects and sale or option prospects. Management makes these judgments based on information available, but there is no certainty that a property is or is not impaired.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
- ii) The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty.
- iii) The classification of financial instruments.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted below.
New accounting standards
There were no new or amended IFRS pronouncements effective January 1, 2020 that impacted the Company's interim financial statements.

At October 31, 2020, 2,275,000 stock options (2019 - nil) and 13,224,452 warrants (2019 - nil) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Stock options
The Company has adopted an incentive rolling stock option plan (the "Plan") under which it is authorized to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants enabling them to acquire up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 5 years and vest as determined by the board of directors. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan shall not be less than the closing price of the Company's shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant, less the discount permitted under the Exchange's policies.

10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (cont'd…)
Warrants
The Company uses the residual value method with respect to the measurement of share purchase warrants issued with private placement units. The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and share purchase warrants on a residual value basis, wherein the fair value of the common shares is based on the market value on the date of the announcement of the placement and the balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Agents' warrants are measured at fair value on the date of the grant as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Warrant transactions are summarized as follows:

12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objective when managing capital is to ensure adequate working capital is available to fund both the business development plans and the working capital requirements of each annual operating cycle. In the management of capital, the Company includes shareholders' equity (deficiency) in the definition of capital.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management from the prior year. The Company is not subject to externally-imposed capital requirements.
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK
The Company has classified cash as FVTPL, and receivables, trade and other payables and amounts due to related parties at amortized cost.
As of October 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of receivables, trade and other payables, and amounts due to related parties carried at amortized cost are considered a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of these financial instruments.
Financial risk management
The Company's financial risks arising from its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. The Company's exposures to these risks and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The credit risk of the Company is associated with its cash. The credit risk with respect to its cash is minimal as they are held with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company's receivables consist of rental recovery due from a sublease office tenant and sales tax recoverable due from the Canadian government. Management does not expect these counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at October 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of \$315,837 to settle trade and other payables of \$123,270 and due to related parties of \$5,000. The Company's trade and other payables have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.
At present, the Company's operations do not generate positive cash flows. The Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities through private placements and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Despite previous success in acquiring these financings, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term maturity.
14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as follows. There have been no changes in these levels and no changes in classifications during the three months ended October 31, 2020.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 31, 2020 | ||||
| Cash | \$ 315,837 |
