USHA RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Usha Resources Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated as a private company by Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act on February 26, 2018. The Company was classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) Policy 2.4 and was not to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or a business with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction which would be subject to approval by regulatory authorities. The Qualifying Transaction was approved by the regulatory authorities during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 (Note 3).
The Company’s head office address is 1575 Kamloops Street, Vancouver BC, V5K 3W1, Canada. The registered and records office address is 400 – 725 Granville Street, Vancouver BC, V7Y 1G5, Canada.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) with the assumption 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. While the Company has been successful in obtaining its required financing in the past, there is no assurance that such financing will be available or be available on favourable terms. An inability to raise additional financing may impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. These condensed interim financial statements, presented in Canadian dollars, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.
i) Basis of Measurement
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. Critical estimates and judgements are discussed more fully in the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.
ii) Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

USHA RESOURCES LTD.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)
- ii) Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…)
The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these condensed interim financial statements are substantially the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual financial statements. Changes to accounting policies adopted on April 1, 2019 as a result of changes to standards resulted in no material impact to the financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies and expected changes to accounting standards that have been announced but are not yet effective, please refer to the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of 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. Uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Adoption of New Standards and Interpretations, and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company has adopted these standards:
- IFRS 16, Leases: New standard to establish principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases with an impact on lessee accounting, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company anticipates the standard will have no significant impact on its financial statements.
3. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Company entered into an agreement dated March 7, 2019 with Emerald Lake Development Corporation (the “Vendor”) for the right to purchase an undivided 51% interest in certain patented mining property (the “Property”), located in the Dobie Township, Northwest Ontario. The purchase price of the Property was the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company to the Vendor; the shares were issued during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 at a deemed value of $150,000. In addition, the Company and a third-party company that holds a 15% interest in the Property shall pay the Vendor a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty upon the commencement of commercial production from the Property. The Company and the third-party company shall have the right at any time to acquire up to 1.5% of the royalty from the Vendor for the price of $2,000,000.
This agreement constituted the Company’s Qualifying Transaction under the Capital Pool Companies policy of the TSX-V.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company incurred rent and office administration charges of $14,100 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 (2018: $4,725) to a company controlled by a director. These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value
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.
Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement. The recorded values of receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.
Financial risk management
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.
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 limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with a major financial institution. Management feels that the Company’s credit risk with respect to cash is remote.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at the financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.
Liquidity risk
All of the Company’s financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal year. The Company intends to settle these with funds from its positive working capital position.
USHA RESOURCES LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)
Financial risk management (cont’d…)
Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. As at December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies and considers foreign currency risk to be insignificant.
Price risk
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. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
7. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Capital is comprised of all the components of the Company’s shareholders’ equity. As at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $563,012 and $146,971 respectively and there was no longterm debt outstanding. The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach is reasonable given the relative size of the Company. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements or debt covenants. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2019.
