SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2021, AND 2020
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Scottie Resources Corp. (the “Company”) is an exploration stage company incorporated on November 24, 2009 in British Columbia, Canada. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “SCOT”.
The Company’s registered and records address is 905-1111 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2J3.
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. The pandemic has not had a material impact on the Company’s operations which affect the financial statement. Management continues to monitor the situation.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
This condensed 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 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 audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2020.
(b) Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency.
(c) Significant Accounting Judgement and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2021, AND 2020
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont’d…)
(d) Going Concern
As at May 31, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,730,228 (August 31, 2020 - $6,493,461), has not generated revenues from operations, has a working capital of $3,430,974 (August 31, 2020 - $4,874,391) and it expects to incur further losses in the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties. These 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 Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to develop the reserves, and its ability to commence profitable operations in the future. These conditions form a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has been able to fund operations and mineral property exploration through equity financings. Uncertainty in the financial equity markets may make it difficult to raise capital through the private placement of shares. The junior mining industry is considered speculative in nature which could make the Company more difficult to fund. While the Company is using its best efforts to achieve its business plans by examining various financing alternatives, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with its financing ventures.
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 as a going concern.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly and consistently prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies. The accounting policies applied in preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020.
Accounting standards and amendments issued.
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Management does not expect the impact of any such new standards and amendments to have any significant impact on its financial statements.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:
SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2021, AND 2020
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (Cont’d…)
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.
Rehabilitation Provisions
Rehabilitation provisions have been determined to be $Nil based on the Company’s internal estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management. Estimates are reviewed annually and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of contamination, restoration standards and techniques will result in changes to provisions from period to period.
Share-Based Payments
The Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.
Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
The Company makes a determination of whether it is likely that future taxable profits will be available to utilize against any deferred tax assets.

In accordance with the flow-through share agreement, the Company may be required to indemnify the holders of such shares of any tax and other costs payable to them in the event the Company does not fulfil its flow-through expenditure requirements.
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash is carried at FVTPL. Reclamation bonds, accounts payable, loans payable and due to related parties are carried at amortized cost. The Company considers that the carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.
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. The Company’s cash is exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash by placing these instruments with institutions of high credit worthiness.
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’s cash is exposed to interest rate risk.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s accounts payable and advances from related parties are all current and due within 90 days of the balance sheet date.
11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of shareholders’ equity (deficiency). 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 the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management.
