On July 17, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement with Abitibi Metals Corp. to acquire a 100% interest in the Southern Arm Project for the following consideration:

  • 2,500,000 shares to be issued within fifteen (15) days of acceptance of the agreement by the TSX-V;
  • 2,500,000 shares to be issued on or before the first anniversary of the date of approval by the TSX-V; and
  • $2,000,000 in work expenditures before the second anniversary of the date of approval by the TSX-V.

On August 8, 2024, the Company issued 2,500,000 common shares at a price of $0.095 to Abitibi Metals after receiving approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

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, 2025.

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:

Asset or Liability IFRS 9 Classification
Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost
Receivables Amortized cost
Investments FVTPL
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
Due to related parties Amortized cost

Leases

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For new leases, a right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the liability plus any initial direct costs. After lease commencement, the lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

USHA RESOURCES LTD.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

The overall expenses during the period were lower than the comparative period. The decrease is mostly attributable to lower share-based compensation expense, consulting and management fees, and shareholder communications’ expenses.

Consulting and management fees of $370,375 (2024 – $827,665) relate to fees paid to consultants for the Company’s business advisory, management (see “Transaction with Related Parties”), and corporate compliance services. These general consulting expenses cannot be directly attributed to any particular project and relate to the Company’s activity; therefore, they have been expensed as general consulting. Consulting fees were lower than in the comparative period due to a slowdown in corporate activity during the year.

Shareholder communications’ expense of $34,178 (2024 – $954,404) consist of payments for corporate development and payments to consultants for various marketing and promotional activities of the Company and its projects. The budget for shareholder communications and related expenses was quite lower than the comparative period due to lower financing activity and a slowdown in corporate activity during the year.

Share-based payments of $236,221 (2024 – $802,698) relates to the vested fair value of the restricted share units issued to consultants, officers, and directors of the Company pursuant to the Company’s Share Option Plan. The decrease in the share-based payment expense belongs to the pro-rated vesting of the restricted share units which were granted in the comparative period.

Office and miscellaneous expense of $66,243 (2024 - $100,864) relate to office expenses. The decrease from the prior year reflects the reduced activity at the Company during the year.

Professional fees of $114,881 (2024 – $202,076) consist of the legal, financial reporting, and audit expenses. The decrease pertains to the decline in fees for auditing and secretarial services incurred during the year.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted nil stock options (2024 – $8,625,000) having a total fair value of $nil (2024 - $476,328) and a weighted average exercise price of $nil (2024 – $0.13) per option. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized share-based compensation of $nil (2024 – $486,010) relating to options vested during the year.

The fair value of options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions:

March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024
Risk-free interest rate Nil% 4.34%
Expected dividend yield Nil Nil
Expected stock price volatility Nil% 71.28%
Expected life Nil 2 years
Expected forfeiture rate Nil Nil

During the year ended March 31, 2025, $3,500,000 (2024 - $2,600,000) of the outstanding stock options were exercised. The corresponding amount of $98,520 (2024 - $220,150) was transferred from reserves to share capital.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted nil restricted share units (RSUs) (2024 - $3,050,000) having a total fair market value of $nil (2024 - $553,250) and recognized a pro-rated share-based compensation of $236,221 (2024 - $317,029) based on the vesting period of one year from the date of grant.

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.

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.

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.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is engaged in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the normal course of business. These matters are evaluated individually based on their nature, status, and potential financial impact, in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company received a demand letter from a vendor related to the Jackpot Lake project, claiming payment for certain invoices issued during the year. Management believes these invoices should not have been billed, as the related work arose from the vendor’s own error, and the vendor had previously agreed to perform the corrective work at their own cost. As the parties were unable to reach a settlement and the vendor has indicated an intention to pursue litigation, the Company has recognized a provision of $100,000 in connection with this matter. The ultimate outcome of the dispute is uncertain and may differ from the amount accrued.

Additionally, the Company may enter into contracts for services in the normal course of operations. The Company’s current contractual commitments vary in terms and can be terminated upon sufficient notice.

In connection with the flow-through share financings in 2024, the Company is committed to incur qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) totaling $925,000 by December 31, 2026. If the Company does not incur the required qualifying expenditures, it will be required to indemnify the holders of the flow-through shares for any tax and other costs payable by them as a result of the Company not making the required expenditures. As at March 31, 2025, the Company has fulfilled its necessary qualifying exploration expenditures required in connection with the flow-through share financings.

On March 15, 2024, Usha Resources Ltd. signed a Letter of Intent with Stardust Power, Inc. granting Stardust Power exclusivity with respect to negotiations related to the Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Project until June 30, 2025.
