(an exploration stage enterprise) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three-months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited - expressed in Canadian dollars)

EROS RESOURCES CORP.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Eros Resources Corp.’s (“Eros” or the “Company”) principal business activities include the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral and oil and gas resource properties in North America. The Company’s corporate office is located at Suite 420, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1H2. Eros is a Tier 1 company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IFRS under the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition of or participation in an interest in properties, assets, or businesses.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals and oil and gas reserves involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing.

At the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared, the global economy is struggling with high inflation rates and the ongoing war in the Ukraine. While these events have had mixed effects on the economy in general, there has been little to no impact on the operations of Eros.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”), Interim Financial Reporting.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eros and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Anthem Resources Incorporated (“Anthem”) and Otish Minerals Ltd., both companies incorporated in British Columbia, and Bell Mountain Exploration Corp. (“Bell Mountain”), a company incorporated in Nevada, USA. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency.

(an exploration stage enterprise)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

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 judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

3. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices 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); and Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The marketable securities which consist of common shares are based on quoted prices and are therefore considered to be Level 1. The marketable securities which consist of warrants are based on inputs other than quoted prices and are therefore considered to be Level 2. The marketable securities which consist of common shares of private companies are based on unobservable inputs and are therefore considered to be Level 3. The Company’s risk exposures are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur an unexpected loss as a result of the counterparty to a financial asset failing to meet their contractual obligations. The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk are cash and other receivables. The Company holds cash with large financial institutions in accordance with the Company’s investment policy. Management considers credit risk on cash to be low, as the counterparties are highly rated Canadian banks. The Company is exposed to some credit risk on other receivables, apart from sales tax refunds receivable. The amounts included in other receivables are due from companies with a common director and/or officer with Eros.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it has sufficient capital to meet short-term financial obligations after taking into account its exploration obligations and cash on hand. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms with the exception of lease liabilities. The Company’s lease liability matures based on the terms outlined in the lease agreement. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk on its margin loan and advances from related parties as the amounts are due on demand.

EROS RESOURCES CORP.

3. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Market risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. Market risk to which the Company is exposed is as follows:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • (i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

  • (ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk though its margin loan. The rate of interest charged on borrowed funds under margin loan is prime plus 3% and is calculated daily and charged monthly (Note 8). Any fluctuation of interest rate as a result of movement in prime rate could lead to an increase or decrease in the amount the Company pays to service the margin loan. The Company manages its interest rate risk by monitoring its debt levels. The Company estimates that a 100-basis point fluctuation in short-term interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would not result in material adjustment to interest expense.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. A significant change in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have an effect on the Company’s future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar:

March 31, 2023 March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
US $ CDN $ US $ CDN $
Cash 6,830 9,759 6,038 8,178
Accounts payable (62,824) (84,907) (76,611) (103,363)

Based on the above, assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would have increased the Company’s comprehensive income/loss by $6,965 (2022 - $9,558). A weakening of the Canadian dollar would have had the opposite effect.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company’s marketable securities are carried at market value or fair value based on observable market values and are therefore directly affected by fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Changes in market prices of securities in the portfolio have a material effect on net income (loss). A 20% increase in the market prices would have increased/decreased the Company’s net income/loss by $2,214,812 (2022 - $2,367,000).

Realization of exploration and evaluation assets

The investment in and expenditures on exploration and evaluation assets comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment and maintenance of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.

Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore. There can be no assurance that compensation will be received for properties that have been or may be expropriated. The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future

values. These costs will be depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or if the claims are allowed to lapse.

Title to exploration and evaluation interests

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its mineral property interests in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, and, to the best of its knowledge, title to its properties are in good standing; however, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Environmental

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.

The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent, and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the properties may be diminished or negated.

a. Nevada

Bell Mountain Property

The Company has earned a 100% ownership of the Bell Mountain gold-silver property. An Advance Royalty Payment of $20,000 is due annually on June 15 until such time as there is production from the property (paid during the year ended December 31, 2022). In conjunction with the updated notice from the Bureau of Land Management in August of 2018 which exempts the Bell Mountain project from the moratorium on exploration activities, the Company is once again actively exploring its Nevada properties.

Saskatchewan uranium interests

Hatchet Lake

The Company has an interest in a joint venture property with Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) as operator, located on the Wollaston Trend at the northeast margin of the Athabasca Basin. Eros holds a 29.89% joint venture interest for Hatchet Lake with further dilution expected.

Wollaston Trend

The Company has a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) interest on 44 claims of uranium exploration lands along the Wollaston Trend underlying the southeast margin of the Athabasca Formation. Denison retains the right to purchase one-half of the NSR at any time for $1,000,000.

Athabasca Basin – Uranium

The Company has a 100% interest in six claim groups in the Athabasca Northern Basin of Saskatchewan. Some of the claims are subject to a non-participating, non-voting, carried 0.5% NSR.

Flaxcombe – heavy oil

On February 6, 2017, Eros agreed to fund the drilling of three vertical wells into the Flaxcombe heavy oil field, owned by Westcore Energy Ltd. (“Westcore”) at an estimated cost of $1.6 million. This amount has been fully advanced and drilling is complete. According to the terms of the agreement with Westcore, Eros will hold a 90% working interest in the wells until its investment is recovered, and will hold a 50% interest thereafter. In addition, Eros retains a right of first refusal to participate on the same terms on two subsequent drill programs on the Flaxcombe field. Westcore is a related party by virtue of having a director in common with the Company.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the three wells remained offline. As such, indicators of impairment existed leading to a test of recoverable amount of the oil and gas assets. The Company estimated the recoverable amount based on FVLCD using a discounted cash flow model categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has fully impaired its interest in the wells in prior years and there is no indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased.

13. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

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 mineral properties, oil and gas exploration and development, and other strategic investments. 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 as shareholders’ equity. The Company is not exposed to any capital requirements.

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 properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. In addition, the Company evaluates investment opportunities, as well as existing investments, for suitability and potential on an ongoing basis. 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’s capital risk management approach was unchanged in the first quarter of 2023 or fiscal 2022. There were no capital restrictions in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Company had no debt aside from trade payables, margin loan payable, due to related parties, income taxes and lease liability.

14. COMMITMENTS

In fiscal 2014, there was an involuntary disposition of the Company’s Canadian mineral property for which the Company received $26,400,000 from the Government of British Columbia. In fiscal 2014, the Company elected to defer $15,147,419 of the proceeds as income inclusion under s.59.1 election of the Canadian Income Tax Act. The elected amount can be offset by Canadian exploration expenses, Canadian development expenses and/or Canadian oil and gas property expenses (collectively referred to as “Mineral Property Expenses”) for Canadian income tax purposes. If the amount cannot be offset in the Company’s ten taxation years subsequent to 2014, the Company will have to include the remaining elected amount as income in the 2014 income tax return. During fiscal 2015, the Company had a change of control in ownership and as such two taxation years were utilized in that year. Hence, as at March 31, 2023, the Company has a further $3,535,000 to spend on qualified Mineral Property Expenses by December 31, 2023 in order to avoid the income inclusion as described above.
