DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Zenith Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 11, 2019 under the Business Corporation Act in the province of British Columbia. During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering to be classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). The Company trades its shares on the TSXV under the trading symbol ZENI.P. The address of the Company’s registered office and head office is 318 – 1199 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2R1.
The principal activity of the Company is the identification and evaluation of assets or a business and once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition of, or participation in, a business subject to receipt of shareholders’ approval, if required, and acceptance by regulatory authorities (the “Qualifying Transaction”). Where an acquisition or participation is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Company to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Company to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition, participate in or invest in an interest in a Qualifying Transaction, and obtain additional financing. The Company has not identified a business or asset that warrants acquisition or participation. As at July 31, 2023, the Company had no business operations and its only significant asset was cash. The Company reported a deficit of $575,478 to date. These factors create a material uncertainty that raises significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a binding letter of agreement (“LOI”) with Grand Samsara Consulting LLC (“Grand Samsara”) and CBGB Ventures Corp. (“Fundco”), where the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of each of Grand Samsara and Fundco, which is expected to result in a reverse take-over of the Company by the shareholders of Grand Samsara and Fundco (the “Proposed Transaction”).
The Proposed Transaction involves a securities exchange, where Grand Samsara and Fundco security holders will swap their securities for the Company's common shares, resulting in Grand Samsara and Fundco becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the resulting issuer. Subsequent to the Proposed Transaction, existing shareholders of Grand Samsara and Fundco will hold a majority of the resulting issuer's outstanding shares. The Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute the Company’s Qualifying Transaction pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The final valuations of Grand Samsara, Fundco, and the resulting issuer are undetermined. The valuation will depend on the pricing of concurrent private placements: Fundco and the Company will complete certain equity financings to raise a minimum of $1,200,000 and $1,000,000 respectively.
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company, Fundco and Grand Samsara will enter into a bridge loan agreement. The Company will provide up to $25,000 to Grand Samsara for a technical report on the Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project, and Fundco will make advances to support exploration and development
activities on the project. Grand Samsara holds a 100% undivided interest in the Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project, an advanced exploration silica property in a prolific silica producing region of Mongolia.
Subject to TSXV approval, the Company will grant the current shareholders of Grand Samsara an anti-dilution right (the "AD Right") for a period ending on the earlier of: (i) completion of an aggregate total of $4,000,000 in equity financing by the Company and Fundco collectively following the date of execution of the LOI, and (ii) two years from the closing date of the Proposed Transaction. Pursuant to the AD Right, to the extent dilution results from any equity financing which causes the total number of the Company's securities issued to the current shareholders of Grand Samsara to represent less than 40% of the then-issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on or after the closing, the Company will issue such additional number of common shares to the shareholders of Grand Samsara as is necessary to increase the aggregate number of common shares issued to such Grand Samsara shareholders to represent 40% of the outstanding common shares following such equity financing.
During the year ended July 31, 2023, the LOI had been amended multiple times amending certain terms of the LOI and extending the closing of the transaction until November 30, 2023. As of the date of the approval of these financial statements, the transaction had not closed and both parties are continuing to negotiate.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS
The Company did not adopt any new standards in the year ended July 31, 2023, therefore there is no impact from new standards issued.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates are the measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and inputs used in the accounting for share-based payments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
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 assets include cash and are classified as Level 1. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair values due to the relatively short periods of maturity of these instruments.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s statements of financial position as at July 31, 2023 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 | 79,530 | – | – | 79,530 |
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.
a) 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 principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high quality financial institution.
b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits. The fair value interest rate risk on bank deposits is insignificant as the deposits are short-term.
The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
c) Currency risk
The Company does not have significant foreign exchange risk as all of its transactions are in Canadian dollars.
d) Liquidity Risk
In managing the liquidity risk of the Company, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the 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.
