TOWER RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended January 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of operations
Tower Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol TWR. The Company’s head office and principal address and registered and records office is located at 40440 Thunderbird Ridge B1831, Garibaldi Highlands, BC, V0N 1T0.
Going concern
The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration and evaluation assets domiciled in Canada. The Company has not yet determined whether any of these exploration and evaluation assets contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and future profitable production. To date, the Company has not earned any revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception, and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and/or to achieve profitable operations. These condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The continuation of the Company’s operations is dependent on obtaining sufficient additional financing in order to realize the recoverability of the Company’s investments in exploration and evaluation assets, which in turn is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves and market prices for the underlying minerals. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management closely monitors commodity prices of precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company if favourable or adverse market conditions occur.
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. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations or its ability to raise funds.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. They do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for annual financial statements, and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company on March 26, 2021.
Page 8
TOWER RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended January 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Basis of presentation
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information and certain financial assets that are measured at fair value.
Functional currency
The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS 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 the reported revenues and expenses during the period.
Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Critical judgment exercised relates primarily to the application of the going concern basis of preparation.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments are as follows:
Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets
Management has determined that exploration, evaluation, and related costs incurred which were capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessment of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits, including geologic and other technical information, a history of conversion of mineral deposits with similar characteristics to its own properties to proven and probable mineral reserves, the quality and capacity of existing infrastructure facilities, evaluation of permitting and environmental issues and local support for the project.
Valuation of share-based compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based compensation. 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.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed interim financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020.
New standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards not yet effective
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB and are effective for annual periods beginning after November 1, 2020. These have not been applied in preparing these condensed interim financial statements. There are no IFRSs or IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on these condensed interim financial statements.

The change in market value of the shares resulted in the recording of an unrealized loss on marketable securities for the three months ended January 31, 2021 of $15,750 (2020 - $nil).

On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with Volatus Capital Corp. (“Volatus”), pursuant to which the Company proposes to sell its 100% interests in and to the Belle property (the “Belle Option”). To exercise the Belle Option and earn a 100% interest, Volatus is required to make a total of $100,000 in cash payments ($25,000 received as at January 31, 2021) and issue 500,000 common shares over a 36 month period (125,000 received as at January 31, 2021, valued at $50,000).

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
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 Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, reclamation bonds, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values. Marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including credit, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency and price risk.
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to industry credit risks arising from its cash holdings and receivables. The Company manages credit risk by placing cash with major Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s receivables are primarily due from a government agency. Management believes that credit risk related to these amounts is nominal.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. To manage liquidity risk, the Company reviews additional sources of capital and financing to continue its operations and discharge its commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As of January 31, 2021, the Company held demand deposits with a face value of $68,000. A change in interest rates of 1% would change income by $680 per annum.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is not significantly exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to items that are denominated in a foreign currency.
Price risk
The Company has limited exposure to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities.
15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as share capital, options and warrants.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing its capital during the three months ended January 31, 2021.
