Stria Lithium Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) For the three months ended December 31, 2020 (In Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Stria Lithium Inc. (the “Company” or “Stria”) was incorporated on May 24, 2011 under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SRA. The head office of the Company is located at 945 Princess Street, Box # 118, Kingston, Ontario.
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Quebec, Canada, as well as the development of processes to purify and recover lithium metal directly from ore and from brine liquids.
2. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage and has not earned revenue from operations. During the three months period ended December 31, 2020, the Company earned a net loss of $141,215, and had negative cash flows from operations of $160,511. In addition, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,192,097 and a deficit of $3,363,014.
The above factors indicate material uncertainties, which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. This assessment is based upon planned actions that may or may not occur for a number of reasons including the Company’s own resources and external market conditions.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in fiscal year 2021, meet its corporate administrative expenses and continue its exploration and research activities, is dependent upon management’s ability to obtain additional financing, through various means including but not limited to equity financing and loans from related and unrelated parties. No assurance can be given that any such additional financing will be available or that it can be obtained on terms favourable to the Company.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2021.
b) Judgments, estimates and assumptions
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Stria Lithium Inc.
Significant management judgment
The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Recognition of deferred income tax assets and measurement of income tax expense
Management continually evaluates the likelihood that its deferred tax assets could be realized. This requires management to assess whether it is probable that sufficient taxable income will exist in the future to utilize these losses within the carry-forward period. By its nature, this assessment requires significant judgment. To date, Management has not recognized any deferred tax assets in excess of existing taxable temporary differences expected to reverse within the carry-forward period.
Going concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. See Note 2 for more information.
Tax credits and mining duties
The Company is eligible to claim certain credits on eligible exploration expenditures; determining the eligibility of the amounts and the credit to be received requires management’s judgement.
Estimation uncertainty
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.
Impairment of mineral exploration properties and exploration and evaluation assets
Determining if there are any facts and circumstances indicating impairment or reversal of impairment losses is a subjective process involving judgment and a number of estimates and interpretations in many cases.
Determining whether to test for impairment of mineral exploration properties and exploration and evaluation assets requires management’s judgment, among others, regarding the following: the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; substantive expenditure on further exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in a specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in a specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; or sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in a specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
When an indication of impairment or a reversal of an impairment loss exists, the recoverable amount of the individual asset or cash-generating units must be estimated.

Share based payments
The estimation of stock-based compensation and warrants requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The Company has made estimates as to the volatility of its own shares, the estimated life of stock options and warrants granted and the time of exercise of those stock options and warrants. The valuation model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes model.
The Company allocates values to share capital and to warrants on the residual basis when the two are issued together as a unit. As this allocation is based upon the share price at the time of issuance and the stock is thinly-traded, the actual value of the components may differ from this allocation.

Risk management
The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include credit risk and liquidity risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a party to its financial instruments fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s only significant financial asset exposed to credit risk is cash and maximum exposure is equal to the carrying value of this asset. The Company’s cash is held at a Canadian chartered bank. It is Management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk. There has been no change to Management’s assessment of credit risk compared with the prior year.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring cash outflows due in day-to-day business as well as any anticipated transactions. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,192,097 at December 31, 2020, including $32,945 in cash and current liabilities totalling $1,602,652 due within the next 12 months. There has been no change to Management’s assessment of liquidity risk compared with the prior year.

Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate return to its shareholders as well as ensuring that all flow-through monies obtained are utilized in exploration activities and spent by the required deadline. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity and loans from related parties. As long as the Company s in the exploration stage of its mining properties, it is not the intention of the Company to contract additional debt obligations to finance its work programs. 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. When financing conditions are not optimal, the Company may enter into option agreements or find other solutions to continue its activities or may slow its activities until conditions improve. While the Company is not subject to any external capital requirements, neither regulatory nor contractual, funds from flow-through financing to be spent on the Company’s exploration properties are restricted for this use. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.

7. FLOW-THROUGH AND TAX EXPENSE
The Company is permitted, under Canadian income tax legislation, to renounce flow-through related resources expenditures to investors in advance of the Company incurring all of the expenditures. In accordance with this legislation, the Company has twelve months following the effective date of renunciation to incur the remaining expenditures. The Company begins incurring interest charges for unspent funds after two months following renunciation.
In November and December 2017, the Company completed flow-through private placements for gross proceeds of $477,500. In February 2018, the related tax deductions were renounced to investors with an effective date of December 31, 2017. The Company incurred all the required flow through expenditures by the December 31, 2018 deadline and incurred an amount of $1,769 for Part XII.6 tax and deemed expenses in Quebec, which is calculated on the monthly balance of unspent flow through funds.
On December 12, 2018, the Company closed a flow-through private placement (Note 8) for gross proceeds of $150,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated between share capital ($75,000), warrants ($19,875) and a deferred liability ($55,125) using the residual method. The liability component represents the Company’s obligation to pass on the tax deductions to investors.
On December 27, 2018, the Company closed a flow-through private placement (Note 8) for gross proceeds of $350,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated between share capital ($175,000), warrants ($49,327) and a deferred liability ($125,673) using the residual method. The liability component represents the Company’s obligation to pass on the tax deductions to investors.
With respect to the December 2018 private placements described above, further to the renunciation of the tax deductions to investors in February 2019, the Company incurred all the required flow through expenditures by the December 31, 2019 deadline and incurred an amount of $8,333 for Part XII.6 tax and deemed expenses in Quebec, which is calculated on the monthly balance of unspent flow through funds.

per unit. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.055 until December 12, 2020. The proceeds from the financing ($150,000) were allocated to share capital ($75,000), warrants ($19,875) and after which $55,125 residual was allocated to the flow-through liability. The fair value of the shares was determined based on the trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). The fair value of the warrants issued as a part of the private placement have been recorded at a value of $19,875 based on the BlackScholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions: stock price of $0.025, risk-free interest rate of 2.05%, expected life of warrants of 2 years, annualized volatility of 86.25% and dividend rate of 0%. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a Government of Canada benchmark bond in effect at the time of grant with an expiry commensurate with the expected life of the warrants. Other share issuance costs total $1,218 and were presented as a reduction of share capital. The entire amount of the proceeds was raised from directors of the Company.
- (2) On December 27, 2018, the Company completed a flow-through private placement for gross proceeds of $350,000. The private placement was comprised of 7,000,000 flow-through units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.055 until December 27, 2020. In connection with the financing, the Company paid cash finders’ fees of $14,000 and issued, as additional consideration, 280,000 non-transferable broker warrants, each broker warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.055 until December 27, 2020. The proceeds from the financing ($350,000) were allocated to share capital ($175,000), warrants ($49,327) and after which $125,673 residual was allocated to the flow-through liability. The fair value of the shares was determined based on the trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX-V. The fair value of the warrants issued as a part of the private placement and commissions have been recorded at a value of $49,327 and $1,973 respectively. This is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions: stock price of $0.025, risk-free interest rate of 1.90%, expected life of warrants of 2 years, annualized volatility of 89.37% and dividend rate of 0%. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a Government of Canada benchmark bond in effect at the time of grant with an expiry commensurate with the expected life of the warrants. Other share issuance costs total $4,044 and were presented as a reduction of share capital. $175,000 of the proceeds raised were from directors of the Company.

13 UNCERTAINTY DUE TO COVID-19
The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as are the measures taken by governments, companies and others to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 may materially and adversely affect the Company's operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty.
In the current environment, the assumptions and judgements made by the Company are subject to greater variability than normal, which could in the future significantly affect judgments, estimates and assumptions (Note 3) made by management as they relate to potential impact of the COVID-19 and could lead to a material adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities affected.
The impact of current uncertainty on judgments, estimates and assumptions extends, but is not limited to, the Company's valuation of its mineral exploration properties and evaluations assets, including the assessment for impairment and impairment reversal, and going concern as the volatility of commodity processes has created uncertainty in the markets and could potentially impact the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
