Summary of Exploration and Corporate Activities

The Property consists of two combined surface and mining right patents which comprise 48 hectares. The purchase price of the Property was the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company to the Vendor at a fair value of $150,000; these shares were issued on December 6, 2019 and the Company acquired a 51% interest in the Property. 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 USD $2,000,000. This agreement constituted the Company’s Qualifying Transaction under the Capital Pool Companies policy of the TSX-V and the Qualifying Transaction has been approved by the TSX-V.
Concurrent with the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company completed a private placement of flow-through and non flow-through units for gross proceeds of $472,065. The non flow-through portion consists of 3,327,000 units at a price of $0.095 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant.

The Company calculates the tax effect of any premium related to the issuance of flow-through shares by reviewing the value of corresponding common shares and warrants issued in connection with the issuance.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
The preparation of the annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A detailed description of these matters, as well as the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020.
USHA RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020
Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and amortized cost. The basis for classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified and measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
-
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
-
it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.
The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows:

| IFRS 9 | |
|---|---|
| Asset or Liability | Classification |
| Cash | FVTPL |

| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |

New standards and interpretations adopted
IFRS 16 – Leases
The Company adopted IFRS 16 - Leases (“IFRS 16”) on April 1, 2019. The objective of the new standard is to eliminate the classification of leases as either operating or financing leases for a lessee and report all leases on the statement of financial position. The only exemption to this will be for leases that are one year or less in duration or for leases of assets with low values.
Under IFRS 16 a lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligations to make lease payments. IFRS 16 also changes the nature of expenses relating to leases, as lease expenses previously recognized for operating leases are replaced with depreciation expense on capitalized right-of-use assets and finance or interest expense for the corresponding lease liabilities associated with the capitalized right-of-use leased assets.
The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and did not restate comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption. As at the date of transition, management has assessed that it does not have any leases to which IFRS 16 applies. The adoption of the new IFRS pronouncement has therefore not resulted to adjustments in previously reported figures and there has been no change to the opening deficit balance as at April 1, 2019.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $332,638 (March 31, 2020: $375,634). The existing working capital should be sufficient for the Company to meet its ongoing obligations. Further financing may be required, however, to provide funding for future operations. The successful completion of such financing is not guaranteed, and depends on a number of factors, including the general sentiment in the capital markets, the strength of commodities prices and the strength of the local and global economies.

Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.
USHA RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and interest receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and G.I.C.’s with major financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and receivables exceeded its current liabilities. In order to meet future obligations as they become due, the Company may need to access funding from the issuance of equity securities, the exercise of stock options or through other sources. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain and there is no assurance of continued access to equity funding.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.
a) 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 risks on cash and on the Company’s obligations are not considered significant.
b) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any accounts in foreign currencies and considers foreign currency risk insignificant.
c)
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.
The Company’s business and operations could be adversely affected by the outbreak of an epidemic or a pandemic or other health crises, including the recent outbreak of COVID19. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency. Global government actions, along with market uncertainty could cause an economic slowdown resulting in a decrease in the demand for metals and have a negative impact on metal prices, as well as possible disruptions to global supply chains.
