STAR ROYALTIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Presented in US Dollars) (Unaudited) FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Star Royalties Ltd. (formerly Oxford Royalties Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act on February 15, 2018. The Company changed its name on January 24, 2020. The Company is a precious metals and green royalty and streaming investment company. The head office, records office, and principal address of the Company is 902-18 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1C4. The Company listed its common shares and warrants on the TSX Venture Exchange in February 2021 under the symbols “STRR” and STRR.WT”, respectively. The Company’s common shares are also traded on the OTCQX under the symbol “STRFF”.
In February 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 34,286,000 units of the Company at a price of CAD$0.70 per unit, as described in Note 8, and commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “STRR”. As a result of the proceeds generated from the IPO as well as the cash that was on hand September 30, 2021, the Company believes that it is in a position to meet its obligations and other commitments in the normal course.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 23, 2021.
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 full extent and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are unknown and to date has included volatility in financial markets, a slowdown in economic activity and volatility in commodity prices. The Company completed a review of all operations on which the Company holds royalty, stream and other interests to identify the impacts of COVID-19. Based on the review COVID-19 was not considered to have a material impact on any of the Company’s investments and as such at September 30, 2021, the Company has not recorded any adjustments directly attributable to the COVID19 pandemic.
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”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
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 December 31, 2020. The accounting policies applied in preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company adopted the following accounting policy in relation to share-based compensation:
Share-based compensation
The Company grants share-based awards in the form of stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”). The stock options and RSUs are equity-settled awards. The Company determines the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. This fair value is expensed to the statement of earnings (loss) using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period of the awards, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. When the share options or share units are exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to share capital.
STAR ROYALTIES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Presented in US Dollars) (Unaudited) FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
At the end of the reporting period, the Company updates its estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest and adjusts the total expense to be recognized over the vesting period.
(b) Basis of measurement
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at their fair value as set out in the accounting policies in Note 3 of the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
3. USE OF ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the Company applied the significant accounting judgements and estimates as disclosed in Note 2 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

11. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The hierarchy is as follows:
-
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).
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents and receivables are classified as amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost.
