QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Questcorp Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on April 9, 2021. The head office of the Company is located at Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T7 and the registered and records office is located at Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.
Subsequent to October 31, 2023, the Company completed its initial public offering (Note 9) and its common shares were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange on December 11, 2023, under the trading symbol QQQ.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. As at October 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $33,567 (July 31, 2023 – working capital of $22,501) and an accumulated deficit of $303,413 (July 31, 2023 - $247,345). These factors cast a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s
functional currency.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
The preparation of these condensed interim 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 condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
These condensed interim financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed interim 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 future periods if the revision affects both current 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.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS
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, currency 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 shareholders’ 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 short-term prospectuses, private placements, sell assets, incur debt, or return capital to shareholders. As at October 31, 2023, the Company is 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. As at October 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $36,262. The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions, is available on demand for the Company’s programs, and is not invested in any asset-backed commercial paper.
QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (continued)
- (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 receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash is held with a major Canadian based financial institution. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
- (d) Currency risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.
- (e) Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
- (f) Fair values
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the 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 the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of cash is measured based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, including receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are equal to their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
8. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company primarily operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and development of exploration and evaluation assets in Canada.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to October 31, 2023, the Company completed its initial public offering by issuing 5,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $500,000. The agent received a cash commission $50,000 and corporate finance fees of $25,000 in cash and 100,000 common shares at $0.10 per share. In addition, the Company issued 500,000 agent warrants, with each agent warrant exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.10 until December 12, 2025.
