Ultra Resources Inc. (Formerly Ultra Lithium Inc.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the three and six months ended April 30, 2021
NOTE 1 – NATURE AND CONTINANCE OF OPERATIONS
Ultra Resources Inc. (the “Company"; formerly Ultra Lithium Inc.) was incorporated on November 27, 2004 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of exploration and evaluation assets. On December 2, 2019, the Company changes its name to Ultra Resources Inc. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on Tier 2 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “ULT”.
The head office and principal address of the Company are located at 2735 Carolina Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V5T 3T3. The Company’s records office and registered office address is located at Suite 3500 - 1055 Dunsmuir Street, PO Box 49114, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1H7.
The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the ability of the Company to raise additional financing in order to complete the exploration and development of its resource properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets. As a resource company in the exploration stage, the ability of the Company to complete its acquisition, exploration and development will be affected principally by its ability to raise adequate amounts of capital through equity financings, debt financings, joint venturing of projects and other means.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a history of losses with no operating revenue other than interest income and had a working capital of $643,548 as at April 30, 2021 (October 31, 2020 - $64,651) and accumulated deficit of $15,141,084 (October 31, 2020 - $14,864,124) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company requires additional financing in order to fund working capital requirements and operations for the upcoming fiscal year. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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 future impact on the Company’s ability to carry out its business operations is not currently determinable but management continues to monitor the situation.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on June 29, 2021 by the Directors of the Company. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
- (a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of amounts receivable and trade payables approximate their fair values because of their shortterm nature.
IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement.
The three levels of 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 for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. |
The fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is Level 1 inputs.
- (b) Financial Instruments Risk
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes:
(i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is subject to credit risk on the cash balances and shortterm bank guaranteed investment certificates (“GIC”) at the bank and amounts receivable. The risk to the Company managed as its investments are with Schedule 1 banks or equivalent, with the majority of its cash held in Canadian based banking institutions, authorized under the Bank Act to accept deposits, which may be eligible for deposit insurance provided by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation. The credit risk from amounts receivable is also minimal as at April 30, 2021, the amounts receivable consists primarily of GST.
(ii) 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’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As at April 30, 2021, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $838,087 to settle current liabilities of $222,013 that are considered short term. Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain financing as required to meet its obligations and commitments for fiscal 2021.
(iii) Market Risk
a) Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company has subsidiaries in the United States and the Republic of Serbia and holds cash in Canadian dollars, United States dollars, Euros and Serbian Dinar currencies in line with forecasted expenditures. The Company’s main risk is associated with fluctuations in the US dollar, Euros and Serbian Dinar and assets and liabilities are translated based on the foreign currency translation policy described in Note 2.

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(iii) Market Risk (continued)
The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company’s net exposure to the US dollar, Euros and Serbian Dinar on financial instruments is as follows:
| April 30, | October 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| $ | $ | |
| US dollar: | ||
| Cash | 697,094 | 56,652 |
| Trade payable and accrued liabilities | (3,052) | (1,125) |
| Net US dollar | (694,042) | 55,527 |
| Serbian Dinar: | ||
| Amounts receivable | 638 | 667 |
| Trade payable and accrued liabilities | (44,379) | (46,438) |
| Net Serbian Dinar | (43,741) | (45,771) |
The Company has determined that an effect of a 10% increase or decrease in the US dollar and Serbian Dinar against the Canadian dollar on financial assets and liabilities, as at April 30, 2021, denominated in US dollars and Serbian Dinar, would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $65,030 to the net loss for the period ended April 30, 2021. At April 30, 2021, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
b) 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. The interest on cash and cash equivalents is typical of Canadian banking rates, which are at present low, however, the conservative investment strategy mitigates the risk of deterioration to the investment. A change of 100 basis points in the interest rates would not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
c) Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from movements in the price of the Company’s commodity inputs and outputs. The Company’s risk relates primarily to the expected output to be produced at its exploration and evaluation assets described in Note 5 of which production is not expected in the near future.
During the period ended April 30, 2021, there were no changes to the Company’s risk exposure or to the Company’s policies for risk management.
NOTE 11 - CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funds to support the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders..

NOTE 11 - CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or sell assets to settle liabilities. The Company has no long-term debt and is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest in are in the exploration stage, as such, the Company does not recognize revenue from its exploration properties. The Company’s historical sources of capital have consisted of the sale of equity securities, loans, and advances from related parties. In order for the Company to carry out planned exploration and development and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its working capital and expects to raise additional amounts externally as needed.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
There were no changes in the Company’s management of capital during the period ended April 30, 2021.
