LIQUIDITY
As at March 31, 2025, Westmount had working capital deficiency of $157,339 (2024: $217,390) which included a cash balance of $250,018.
The Company does not currently own or have an interest in, any producing mineral properties, does not derive any revenues from operations, and is not exposed to commodity price risk. As a result, the Company will rely on completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
Westmount Minerals Corp.
Management Discussion and Analysis
For the year ended March 31, 2025
The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either equity financing or loan from shareholders or directors, and while the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past, there is no assurance that it will continue to generate sufficient funds for future operations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company does not generate cash flows from operating activities. The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either equity financing or loan from shareholders or directors for cash consideration, and while the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past, there is no assurance that it will continue to generate sufficient funds for future operations.
Objectives when managing capital are to:
a) Provide an adequate return to shareholders;
b) Provide adequate and efficient funding for operations;
c) Continue the development of its business and support any expansion plans;
d) Allow flexibility to investment in other revenues; and
e) Maintain a capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk.
In the management of capital, all accounts are included in shareholders' deficiency. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had no bank indebtedness.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the year ended March 31, 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future years if the revisions affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumption made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
Significant accounting estimates
i. The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities
ii. The measurement of share-based payments
Significant accounting judgements
i. The evaluation of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ended March 31, 2025, and have not been early adopted in preparing these audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. These new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
RISK MANAGEMENT, CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
International Financial Reporting Standards 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) 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).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments include cash, which is measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs., and accounts payable, measured at amortized cost, for which the carrying value approximates the fair values due to the relatively short period of maturity of this instrument.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, presented on the Company's statement of financial position as at March 31, 2025, are as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | Total | |
| Cash (i) | $ 250,018 | - | - | 250,018 |
| Accounts receivable (i) | - | - | - | - |
| Accounts payable (ii) | 92,806 | - | - | 92,806 |
| $ 342,824 | - | - | 342,824 |

(ii) Amortized cost
Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company's financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The risks associated with these financial instruments, and the policies on how to mitigate these risks, are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
(i) Currency risk
The Company's financial instruments are all denominated in Canadian Dollars and as result the Company is not exposed to any currency risk.

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the year ended March 31, 2025
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that cash is maintained at the financial institutions. The fair value interest rate risk on cash is insignificant due to its short-term nature.
The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to management interest rate fluctuations.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash. To minimize credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high-quality financial institution.
(iv) Liquidity risk
In the management of liquidity risk of the Company, the company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company's projects and operations.
(v) Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. As at March 31, 2025, the Company is not a revenue producing entity. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Commodity prices may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key people, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on its operations. The Company does not carry any key man insurance.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
