NextSource Materials Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
 
Expressed in US Dollars
 
1.            
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
 
NextSource Materials Inc. (the "Company" or “NextSource”) is incorporated under the laws of Canada and has a fiscal year end of June 30. The Company's registered head office and primary location of records is 130 King Street West, Exchange Tower Suite 1940, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5X 2A2.
 
The Company's principal business is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resources. The Company has yet to generate any revenue from mining operations or pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future.
 
The Company, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, obtained a mining permit and environmental certificate for its Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar.
 
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 13, 2020.
 
Corporate Redomicile
 
The Company completed a corporate redomicile from the State of Minnesota to Canada on December 27, 2017.
 
Corporate Structure
 
NextSource owns 100% of NextSource Materials (Mauritius) Ltd. (“MATMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, and 2391938 Ontario Inc., an Ontario Company.
 
MATMAU owns 100% of NextSource Minerals (Mauritius) Ltd. (“MINMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, NextSource Graphite (Mauritius) Ltd (“GRAMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, and NextSource Materials (Madagascar) SARL (“MATMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary.
 
MINMAU owns 100% of NextSource Minerals (Madagascar) SARL (“MINMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary. MINMAD holds the Green Giant Vanadium Project exploration permits.
 
GRAMAU owns 100% of ERG Madagascar SARL (“GRAMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary. GRAMAD holds the Molo Graphite Project mining and exploration permits.
 
Going Concern Assumption
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $104,468,852 (June 30, 2019: $103,955,431), has experienced recurring net losses and has negative operating cash flows. As such, conditions exist that may raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its exploration and development expenditures is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. The Company has obtained a mining permit for the Molo Graphite project but has not secured all supporting permits and has not secured sufficient financing to begin construction. The Company has not commenced commercial operation of a mine. These conditions may raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore need to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
Statement of compliance with IFRS
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance and comply with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and the corresponding interim reporting period. Furthermore, the information on accounting standards effective in future periods and not yet adopted remains unchanged from that disclosed in the annual financial statements.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Annual Information Form/Form 40-F for the year ended June 30, 2019, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the June 30, 2019 annual audited consolidated financial statements except as described below for new accounting standards adopted effective July 1, 2019.
 
Basis of measurement
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.
 
Basis of consolidation
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, profits and losses, including gains and losses relating to subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions
 
To prepare financial statements in conformity with IFRS, the Company must make estimates, judgements and assumptions concerning the future that affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these are uncertain and actual outcomes could differ from the estimates, judgments and assumptions.
 
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 period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
 
The areas involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions have been detailed in Note 2 to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, except for new significant judgments related to the application of IFRS 16.

Significant Accounting Policies - continued
 
Accounting standards adopted during the period
 
The Company has adopted IFRS 16, Leases (‘‘IFRS 16’’) with the date of initial application of July 1, 2019. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17, Leases (‘‘IAS 17’’) (the accounting standard in effect for those periods). The impact of adoption of IFRS 16 had no impact on the financial statements since the Company does not have any leases exceeding one year.
 
Policy applicable from July 1, 2019:
 
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether:
 
The contract involves the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset;
The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the contract term;
The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
 
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use).
 
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the initial amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.
 
Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
 
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments include fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees and the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company.
 
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
 
The Company presents right-of-use assets in the property, plant and mine development line item on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets and lease liabilities in the lease obligations line item on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheets.
 
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
 
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option or for leases related to low value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as an expense in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.

Mineral Exploration Properties
 
The Company has not capitalized any acquisition and exploration costs for its mineral properties.
 
Molo Graphite Property, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar
 
On December 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Definitive Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") with Malagasy Minerals Limited ("Malagasy"), a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, to acquire a 75% interest in a property package for the exploration and development of industrial minerals, including graphite, vanadium and 25 other minerals. The land position consisted of 2,119 permits covering 827.7 square kilometers and is mostly adjacent towards the south and east with the Company's 100% owned Green Giant Vanadium Project. Pursuant to the JVA, the Company paid $2,261,690 and issued 7,500,000 common shares that were valued at $1,350,000.
 
On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and a Mineral Rights Agreement (together “the Agreements”) with Malagasy to acquire the remaining 25% interest. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company paid $364,480 (CAD$400,000), issued 2,500,000 common shares subject to a 12-month voluntary vesting period that were valued at $325,000 and issued 3,500,000 common share purchase warrants, which were valued at $320,950 using Black-Scholes, with an exercise price of $0.14 and an expiry date of April 15, 2019. On May 20, 2015 and upon completion of a bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) for the Molo Graphite Property, the Company paid $546,000 (CAD$700,000) and issued 1,000,000 common shares, which were valued at $100,000. Malagasy retains a 1.5% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on the property. A further cash payment of approximately $771,510 (CAD$1,000,000) will be due within five days of the commencement of commercial production.
 
The Company also acquired a 100% interest in the industrial mineral rights on approximately 1 ½ additional claim blocks covering 10,811 hectares adjoining the east side of the Molo Graphite Property.
 
The Molo Graphite Project is located within Exploration Permit #3432 (“PR 3432”) as issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar (“BCMM”) pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees. The Molo Graphite Project exploration permit PR 3432 is currently held under the name of our Madagascar subsidiary GRAMAD. GRAMAD has paid all taxes and administrative fees to the Madagascar government and its mining ministry with respect to all the mining permits held in country. These taxes and administrative fee payments have been acknowledged and accepted by the Madagascar government.
 
During fiscal 2017, the Company applied to the BCMM to have PR 3432 converted into a mining permit. On February 15, 2019, the Company announced the Madagascar Government granted a 40-year mining license for the Molo Graphite Project and that the mining license does not limit mining to any specific volume.
 
Following an Environmental Legal Review and an Environmental and Social Screening Assessment, which provided crucial information to align the project’s development and design with international best practice on sustainable project development, the Company completed a comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"), which was developed to local Madagascar (“Malagasy”), Equator Principles, World Bank and International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) standards. The ESIA was submitted to the Office National d’Environment (“ONE”) (the Madagascar Environment Ministry) during fiscal 2018. On April 11, 2019, the Company announced it had received the Global Environmental Permit for the Molo Graphite Project from ONE.
 
Application for all other necessary permits to construct and operate the mine, including water use, facilities construction, mineral processing, transportation, export, and labour have been initiated.
 
The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the timing of the receipt of sufficient capital and of any of the permits and licenses necessary to initiate construction of the mine.

Mineral Exploration Properties – continued
 
Green Giant Vanadium Project, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar
 
In 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources SARL ("MMR") to acquire a 75% interest in the Green Giant property. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $765,000 in cash, issued 2,500,000 common shares and issued 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants, which have now expired.
 
On July 9, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest by paying $100,000. MMR retains a 2% NSR. The first 1% NSR can be acquired at the Company's option by paying $500,000 in cash or common shares and the second 1% NSR can be acquired at the Company’s option by paying $1,000,000 in cash or common shares.
 
On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Malagasy, whereby Malagasy acquired a 75% interest in non-industrial minerals on the Company's 100% owned Green Giant Property. On May 21, 2015, Malagasy terminated the Joint Venture Agreement, which as a result, the Company reverted to its original 100% interest in all minerals on the property.
 
The Green Giant property is located within exploration permits issued by the BCMM pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees. The Green Giant property exploration permits are currently held under the name of our Madagascar subsidiary MINMAD. MINMAD has paid all taxes and administrative fees to the Madagascar government and its mining ministry with respect to all the mining permits held in country. These taxes and administrative fee payments have been acknowledged and accepted by the Madagascar government.
 
Since early 2012, the Company has focused its efforts on the Molo Graphite Project and as such only limited work has been completed on the Green Giant Vanadium Project since that time.
 
Sagar Property, Labrador Trough Region, Quebec, Canada
 
In 2006, the Company purchased from Virginia Mines Inc. ("Virginia") a 100% interest in 369 claims located in northern Quebec, Canada. Virginia retains a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on certain claims within the property. Other unrelated parties also retain a 1% NSR and a 0.5% NSR on certain claims within the property, of which half of the 1% NSR can be acquired by the Company by paying $200,000 and half of the 0.5% NSR can be acquired by the Company by paying $100,000.
 
On February 28, 2014, the Company signed an agreement to sell a 35% interest in the Sagar property to Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (“Honey Badger”), a public company that is a related party through common management. The terms of the agreement were subsequently amended on July 31, 2014 and again on May 8, 2015. To earn the 35% interest, Honey Badger was required to complete a payment of $36,045 (CAD$50,000) by December 31, 2015, incur exploration expenditures of $360,450 (CAD$500,000) by December 31, 2016 and issue 20,000,000 common shares to the Company by December 31, 2015. Honey Badger did not complete the earn-in requirements by December 31, 2015 resulting in the termination of the option agreement.
 
Since early 2012, the Company has focused its efforts on the Molo Graphite Project and as such only minimal work has been completed on the Sagar Property since that time.
 
As of December 31, 2019, the Sagar property consisted of 234 claims covering a total area of 10,736.59 ha.

Provision and Contingent Liability
 
Provision
 
During fiscal 2014, the Company issued 17,889,215 flow-through shares to eligible Canadian taxpayer subscribers which included a contractual commitment for the Company to incur $3,812,642 in eligible Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEEs”) by December 31, 2014 as per the provision of the Income Tax Act of Canada. The CEEs were renounced as a tax credit to the flow-through share subscribers on December 31, 2013. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had unfulfilled CEE obligations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for the Part XII.6 taxes and related penalties payable to the Canada Revenue Agency and for the indemnification liability to subscribers of the flow-through shares for the additional taxes payable related to the CEE renunciation shortfall. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid $131,320 in Part XII.6 taxes, resulting in a reduction in the provision, and following a reassessment of its obligation to subscribers the Company increased the provision by $131,320. During the year ended June 30, 2018, the provision was adjusted due to foreign exchange fluctuations to $180,652. During the period ended December 31, 2019, there were $NIL adjustments made to the provision balance.
 
Contingent Liabilities
 
On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and a Mineral Rights Agreement (together “the Agreements”) with Malagasy to acquire the remaining 25% interest in the Molo Graphite Property. Pursuant to the Agreements, a further cash payment of approximately $771,510 (CAD$1,000,000) will be due within five days of the commencement of commercial production. Since this cash payment represents a possible obligation that depends on the occurrence of an uncertain future event, no amount has been recognized as a provision.

Stock Options
 
The Company’s stock option plan is restricted to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Under the stock option plan, the Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Board of Directors administers the plan and determines the vesting and terms of each grant.

Each stock option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at the respective exercise price prior to or on the respective expiration date.
 
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 38,820,000 stock options issued and outstanding (June 30, 2019: 40,670,000) with a weighted average expiration of 2.6 years (June 30, 2019: 3.0 years), which are exercisable into 38,820,000 common shares (June 30, 2019: 40,670,000) at a weighted average exercise price of $0.076 (June 30, 2019: $0.08).

Warrant Liability
 
The warrants that were issued on August 17, 2018, as part of the units as described in notes 10 and 12, were issued in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency and therefore are considered a derivative equity instrument as per IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The warrant liability was measured at fair value in the statement of financial position using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and will be revalued at each reporting period through profit and loss until expiration or exercise of the underlying warrants.
 
The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the following model inputs on the following valuation dates:

Capital Management
 
As at December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $449,374 (June 30, 2019: deficit of $665,886).
 
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended December 31, 2019.
 
In managing liquidity, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure the entity can continue as a going concern while raising additional funding to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s operations to date have been funded by issuing equity. The Company expects to improve the working capital position by securing additional financing.
 
The Company’s investment policy is to invest excess cash in very low risk financial instruments such as term deposits or by holding funds in high yield savings accounts with major Canadian banks. Financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which may include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.
 
The Company’s mineral property interests are all in the exploration stage, as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its exploration activities and administrative costs. Management continues to assess the merits of mineral properties on an ongoing basis and may seek to acquire new properties or to increase ownership interests if it believes there is sufficient geologic and economic potential.
 
Management mitigates the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions through cost control measures that minimizes discretionary disbursements and reduces exploration expenditures that are deemed of limited strategic value.
 
The Company manages the capital structure (consisting of shareholders’ deficiency) on an ongoing basis and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions and risks characteristics of its underlying assets. Adjustments to the Company’s capital structure may involve the issuance of new shares, assumption of new debt, acquisition or disposition of assets, or adjustments to the amounts held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
 
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management
 
The following disclosures are to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:
 
Credit risk
 
The Company does not currently have commercial customers and therefore does not have any credit risk related to accounts receivables. The Company has credit risk arising from the potential from counterparty default on cash and cash equivalents held on deposit with financial institutions. The Company manages this risk by ensuring that deposits are only held with large Canadian banks and financial institutions.
 
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s financial obligations and in the management of its assets, liabilities and capital structure. The Company manages this risk by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital commitments in a cost-effective manner.
 
The main factors that affect liquidity include working capital requirements, capital-expenditure requirements and equity capital market conditions. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash and cash equivalents and equity capital markets.
 
As at December 31, 2019, the Company expects to access public debt and equity capital markets for financing over the next 12 months in order to initiate construction of its Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar and to satisfy working capital requirements. While the Company has been successful in obtaining required funding in the past, there is no assurance that future financings will be available.
 
As at December, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $567,774 (June 30, 2019: $529,331) to settle current liabilities of $1,076,581 (June 30, 2019: $1,279,289). As a result, the Company is currently exposed to liquidity risk.
 
Based on management’s assessment of its past ability to obtain required funding, the Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its current and long-term obligations as they come due. Other than accounts payable, which are due within 30 days, and the warrant liability, which will be fully expensed by October 2021, none of the Company’s obligations have contractual maturities.
 
Market risks
 
Market risk is the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.
 
Interest rate risk: This is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of a financial instrument to changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that are subject to variable interest rates.
 
Commodity price risks: This is the sensitivity of the fair value of, or of the future cash flows, from mineral assets. The Company manages this risk by monitoring mineral prices and commodity price trends to determine the appropriate timing for funding the exploration or development of its mineral assets, or for the acquisition or disposition of mineral assets. The Company does not have any mineral assets at the development or production stage carried at historical cost. The Company has expensed the acquisition and exploration costs of its exploration stage mineral assets.
 
Currency risk:  This is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of financial instruments to changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Company transacts in currencies other than the US dollar, including the Canadian dollar, the Madagascar Ariary, the Euro and the South African Rand.  The Company purchases services and has certain salary commitments in those currencies.  The Company also has monetary and financial instruments that may fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.  Derivative financial instruments are not used to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not sensitive to foreign exchange exposure since it has not made any commitments to deliver products quoted in foreign currencies. The Company is not sensitive to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar since it does not have any material assets and liabilities measured through other comprehensive income.

Related Party Transactions
 
Parties are related if one party has the direct or indirect ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making operating and financial decisions.

Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the fair value.
