ACME LITHIUM INC. (FORMERLY HAPUNA VENTURES INC.) NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

ACME Lithium Inc. (formerly Hapuna Ventures Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on January 31, 2017, as a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Kona Bay Technologies Inc. (“Kona Bay”).

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kona Bay, ACT360 Media Ltd. (“ACT360”) and Bexar Ventures Inc. (“Bexar”) for the purposes of carrying out a corporate restructuring by way of a Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement” or the “POA”) pursuant to Section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

On December 13, 2017, the POA closed and the online advertising assets were transferred to the Company by Kona Bay and ACT360, and 4,761,199 common shares of the Company were issued to Kona Bay.

On November 23, 2020, the Company changed its name to ACME Lithium Inc. and changed its principal business from technology to the identification of exploration and evaluation assets. The change in business is subject to acceptance of listing with the Canadian Securities Exchange. The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 300 – 2015 Burrard Street Vancouver BC Canada V6J 3H4.

As at December 31, 2020, the Company has not yet determined if its exploration and evaluation asset is economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and future profitable production from the properties or realizing proceeds from their disposition.

On December 29, 2020, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1281524 B.C. Ltd. (“Subco”) and 1266291 B.C. Ltd. (“Fundco”) which closed on December 30, 2020. Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, the following occurred:

  • (i) Subco and Fundco amalgamated;

  • (ii) the unit holders of Fundco received an equivalent number of units of the Company; and

  • (iii) the amalgamated company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Each unit consists of one common share and one half share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.10 for a period of 24 months.

Fundco was established by the Company solely for the purpose of raising funds from at least 150 investors, and loaning the same to the Company pending closing of the Amalgamation (Note 7).

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, assuming that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a deficit of $566,682 (September 30, 2020 ‐ $1,274,815) and a working capital of $411,115 (September 30, 2020 – deficiency of $1,004,819).

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon obtaining, in the short term, the necessary financing to meet the Company’s operating commitments as they come due and generating profitable operations in the future. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that assets and liabilities be recorded at their liquidation values, which might differ significantly from their carrying values. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recoded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

To the date of this report, the spread of COVID‐19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada, businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time.

Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non‐essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. As a result, global stock markets have also experienced great volatility. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions. As at the date of this report, the Company has not been significantly impacted by the spread of COVID‐19. The duration and impact of the COVID‐ 19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of these consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the Company for future periods.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), and in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of computation as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, being for the year ended September 30, 2020.

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution from the Board of Directors on April 5, 2021.

b) Basis of Measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss which are stated at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

c) Basis of consolidation

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, 1281524 B.C. Ltd. and 1266291 B.C. Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

d) Presentation and Functional Currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions – The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:

Critical Judgments

Going concern of operations

Management has made the determination that the Company will continue as a going concern for the following year.

Intangible assets

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for intangible assets 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 an intangible asset is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the value of the asset is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off to profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.

Estimates

Deferred income taxes

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.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of these financial statements is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2020. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

New accounting policies adopted in the period

Exploration and evaluation assets‐ All expenditures related to acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation properties (“E&E assets”) are capitalized. Upon commencement of commercial production, the related accumulated costs are amortized against projected income using the units of production method over estimated recoverable reserves. Management annually assesses carrying values of properties for which events and circumstances may indicate possible impairment.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of a property is generally considered to have occurred if (1) the property has been abandoned; (2) there are unfavorable changes in the property economics; (3) there are restrictions on development; or (4) when there has been an undue delay in development. In the event that estimated discounted cash flows expected from its use or eventual disposition is determined by management to be insufficient to recover the carrying value of the property, the carrying value is written down to its estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverability of exploration and evaluation properties and exploration and development costs is dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the reserves, and the profitability of future operations. The Company has not yet determined whether its future exploration and evaluation property contains economically recoverable reserves. Amounts capitalized to exploration and evaluation properties as exploration and development costs do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company was formerly a technology company specializing in digital customer acquisition. Its customers were primarily higher education institutions that promoted campus and online degree programs to consumers through digital media such as websites, mobile apps, social media networks and direct e‐mail. The Company utilized an online advertising leads database which was acquired during the year ended September 30, 2018. The database was subsequently impaired and written down to $1.

On December 19, 2020, the Company disposed of its digital customer acquisition business to an arm’s length purchaser in consideration of the sum of $1 and the purchaser assuming all outstanding obligations.

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

The Company’s exploration and evaluation asset expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

FLV Property Total
ACQUISITION COSTS
Balance, September 30, 2020 and 2019 $ ‐ $ ‐
Additions 50,000 50,000

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

FLV Property

On November 9, 2020 the Company entered into a mineral property purchase and sale agreement (the “FLV agreement”) with an arm’s length party whereby it acquired certain mining claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA. Under the terms of the FLV agreement, the vendor’s right, title and interest in the FLV claims was purchased by paying consideration of $50,000 (paid) and by issuing 100,000 common shares.

Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company issued 100,000 common shares with a fair value of $3,000 to the arm’s length party.

6. PROMISSORY NOTE PAYABLE

December 31, 2020 September 30, 2020
Principal $ 325,000 $ 325,000
Accrued interest 58,650 54,601
Settlement of debt (383,650)
Total $ ‐ $ 379,601

The Company had a promissory note payable to ACT360 in the principal amount of $325,000 with an original maturity date of December 13, 2020. Interest was accruing daily at 6% per annum from the date of issue, payable on a semi‐ annual basis commencing on June 13, 2018. The promissory note may be negotiated, assigned, discounted or pledged by ACT360. ACT360 assigned the promissory note to Kona Bay retrospectively during June 2020. Accrued interest payable accumulated since June 13, 2018 had not been paid.

The fair value of the promissory note was determined using an income approach. An income approach is a present value technique that takes into account the future cash flows that would be expected to be received from holding the promissory note as an asset. Present value was calculated using the following attributes – semi‐annual interest payments of $9,750, repayment of $325,000 principal at maturity, number of months to maturity and a discount rate of 6% discounted annually. During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $4,049 (2019 ‐ $5,030) on the promissory note.

On October 15, 2020, the Company entered into a debt settlement agreement with Kona Bay whereby the principal and interest amounts of the promissory note payable were forgiven by Kona Bay (Note 10).

On December 30, 2020 the Company closed the Amalgamation Agreement (Note 1). As per the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company is to issue 13,350,000 units in exchange for the issued and outstanding common share of Fundco at a price of $0.03 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one‐half share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.10 for a period of 24 months. In connection with the transaction, the Company will also issue 1,610,000 common shares as finder’s fees with a fair value of $0.03 per share. A breakdown of the transaction is as follows:

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Fair value of financial instruments

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 that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are not observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

  • Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short term to maturity. The fair value of cash is based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Risk Management

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of four types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and United States dollar or other foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

The Company holds no balances in United States dollars which could give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk. The Company did not have any trade accounts receivable balances in United States dollars as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 and has no sensitivity to a plus or minus 10% change in the foreign exchange rate of the United States dollar to the Canadian dollar that would affect the reported loss and comprehensive loss.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consists of cash. Cash is maintained with a financial institution with reputable credit and may be redeemed upon demand. The Company considers this risk to be minimal as of December 31, 2020.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meets its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. They key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

The Company’s objective is to ensure that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses. To achieve this objective, the Company will prepare annual capital expenditure budgets which will be regularly monitored and updated as necessary. The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring the maturity dates of existing trade and other accounts payable.
