METALLA ROYALTY & STREAMING LTD.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018


1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company"), incorporated in Canada, is a precious metals royalty and streaming company, who engages in the acquisition and management of precious metal royalties, streams, and similar production-based interests. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MTA” and on the NYSE American (“NYSE”) under the symbol “MTA”. The head office and principal address is 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Company has incurred a cumulative deficit to date of $34,480,374 as at November 30, 2019 (May 31, 2019 - $31,285,237) and has had losses from operations for multiple years. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable earnings in the future, receive continued financial support, and/or complete external financing. Management expects that its cash balance and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for fiscal 2020.

Subsequent to the reporting date, the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new share for four old shares (1:4) effective December 17, 2019 and the listing of its common shares on the NYSE effective January 8, 2020. All figures have not been adjusted to reflect the four for one share consolidation, unless otherwise noted.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and measurement

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019, except for those noted below. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.

Accounting standards adopted during the period

Adoption of IFRS 16

The Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) on June 1, 2019, in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, applying the modified retrospective approach.

At the inception of a contract, the new leasing standard requires the lessee to assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits during the term of the arrangement and has the right to direct the use of the asset. If a lease is identified, the new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases, and all leases that have a term of at least 12 months and are not of a low value will be recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Accounting standards adopted during the period (cont’d…)

Adoption of IFRS 16 (cont’d…)

The Company has completed its assessment of the new standard. The process included a review of all lease and service contracts, to determine if we have the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Based on the Company’s analysis, the only contract to which the Company will apply the new standard relates to the lease for the use of the Company’s office premise. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset of $26,029. The right-of-use asset was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability on adoption.

New accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16

At inception of a contract, an assessment is made as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or 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. At the commencement date of a lease, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease obligation is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and remeasured if there is a change in future lease payments.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period if there is an indication the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is not recoverable.

Adoption of IFRIC 23

The Company adopted IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”) on June 1, 2019, with retrospective application in accordance with the standard. IFRIC 23 clarifies the recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not result in any adjustments to the Company’s financial results or disclosures.

Alamos acquisition

In April 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a portfolio of eighteen net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties and options to acquire NSR royalties from Alamos Gold Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Alamos”) for total consideration of US$8,240,000 payable in common shares of the Company.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company classified its financial instruments as follows:

      November 30       May 31  
      2019       2019  
Financial assets                
Amortized cost:            
Cash $ 7,341,956   $ 4,603,062  
Other receivables   22,278     -  
Fair value through profit or loss:            
Receivables from provisional sales   197,789     129,960  
  $ 7,562,023   $ 4,733,022  
             
Financial liabilities            
Amortized cost:            
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 443,829   $ 1,126,982  
Loans payable   4,350,053     2,798,975  
  $ 4,793,882   $ 3,925,957  

Fair value

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

a) Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

b) Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

c) Level 3 - Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. As at November 30, 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value.

The carrying value of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Receivable from provisional sales (if any) includes provisional pricing, and final price and assay adjustments and is valued using observable market commodity forward prices and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s loan payable is approximated by its carrying value as its interest rates are comparable to market interest rates.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)

Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The capital of the Company consists of share capital. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company may issue new shares in order to meet its financial obligations. The management of the Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at November 30, 2019 are sufficient for its present needs for at least the next twelve months. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash deposits, as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk other than cash deposits. The Company’s cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank. Receivables include value added tax due from the Canadian government. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Company’s credit risk has not declined significantly from the prior year.

Liquidity risk

The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty interests, its holdings of cash, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the Company’s non-current liability are disclosed in Note 7. All current liabilities are settled within one year.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily operates in Canada and Australia and incurs expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollars. Thereby, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Based on the above net exposure, as at November 30, 2019, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $43,000 in the Company’s pre-tax income or loss.

13. COMMITMENTS

The Company may be required to make payments in cash and/or common shares related to its royalty interests (Note 4), including milestone payments subject to certain triggers being met related to the IEPI royalty portfolio acquisition (please refer to the Company’s past audited consolidated financial statements on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


COMPANY OVERVIEW

Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company") is a precious metals royalty and streaming company that is focused on acquiring gold and silver metal purchase agreements, net smelter return royalties ("NSRs"), gross value return royalties ("GVRs"), net profit interests ("NPIs), gross proceeds royalties ("GPRs"), and non-operating interests in mining projects that provide the right to the holder of a percentage of the gross revenue from metals produced from the project or a percentage of the gross revenue from metals produced from the project after deducting specified costs, if any, respectively. For purposes of reporting, the Company calculates attributable silver equivalent production by applying its interest (i.e. royalty or stream percentage) to the total production reported by the counterparty and silver equivalency of non-silver products is based on average realized prices of all metals for the period. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "MTA" and on the NYSE American ("NYSE") under the symbol "MTA". The head office and principal address is 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Subsequent to the reporting date, the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new share for four old shares (1:4) effective December 17, 2019 and the listing of its common shares on the NYSE effective January 8, 2020. All figures have not been adjusted to reflect the four for one share consolidation, unless otherwise noted.

QUARTERLY UPDATES ON ROYALTIES AND STREAMS

COSE & Joaquin

Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan American") has disclosed by news release on January 15, 2020 that pre-production underground development at both COSE and Joaquin mines progressed during 2019 along with the purchase of the necessary mining equipment and the completion of the infrastructure facilities. Pan American stated that both mines will enter the production phase in early 2020 and there is no further project capital spending anticipated.

Metalla holds a NSR royalty of 1.5% and 2.0% on COSE and Joaquin mines, respectively.

El Realito

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico") disclosed in their news release on October 23, 2019 that recent drilling at El Realito project located adjacent to the operating La India mine in Sonora Mexico suggests there could be an improved strip ratio and increased mineral resources inside the current life of mine reserve pit design. The highlight of the pit expansion drilling is 1.3 g/t gold and 4 g/t silver over 17.7 metres. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, 11,278 metres were drilled at El Realito. The company also drilled its first two exploration holes at the Los Tubos target directly south of the El Realito deposit during the third quarter of 2019.

Metalla holds a 2.0% NSR on the El Realito property.

Santa Gertrudis

Agnico conducted its largest drill program in Mexico at Santa Gertrudis in 2019, drilling a total of 35,709 metres as of the end of the third quarter. Drilling was completed throughout the 42,000-hectare Santa Gertrudis property greater than the 29,000 metres that were budgeted due to the success at the Amelia deposit discovery. Drilling at the Amelia deposit totaled 15,056 metres at the end of Q3 2019 and resulted in an increase in the strike of the Amelia deposit to a total of 800 metres; the deposit remains open along strike and at depth. Notable highlights from Agnico's news release dated October 23, 2019 include 6.4 g/t gold over 7 metres and 9.6 g/t gold over 6 metres.

Metalla holds a 2.0% NSR on the Santa Gertrudis property.

Agnico will be releasing further updates on El Realito and Santa Gertrudis in their year-end update on February 14, 2020, along with expected updated mineral resource estimates for both assets. Metalla expects an increase to the resource base for both Santa Gertrudis and El Realito.

Fifteen Mile Stream

St Barbara Limited ("St Barbara") disclosed in their news release on January 22, 2020, they continue to have exploration success at Fifteen Mile Stream as it continues to enlarge the planned reserve pits and delineate potential satellite pits along trend.

At Seloam Brook, 700 metres west of the Plenty deposit, significant mineralization was intercepted suggesting the potential to be a pit extension of the main Fifteen Mile Stream proposed pits. Notable near surface highlights include 1.19 g/t over 6 metres and 2.85 g/t over 3 metres.

At the main Hudson and Egerton MacLean zones, shallow high-grade mineralization has been discovered that will aid in connecting the Egerton and Hudson pits. The best result was 3.21 g/t at 6 metres. West of Egerton, St Barbara intercepted lateral continuity of shallow mineralization 100 metres west of the current resource with a 1.98 g/t over 7 metres. East of Egerton-MacLean and west of 149, the gap continues to be shortened as mineralization was intercepted at 6.84 g/t over 1 metre.


METALLA ROYALTY & STREAMING LTD.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


At the 149 deposit, drilling continued to confirm the potential for 149 to be a satellite pit for Fifteen Mile Stream. Extensional drilling 60 metres to the east intercepted 0.86 g/t over 56 metres and 1.03 g/t over 16 metres near surface. Drilling to the south of identified a disseminated halo of mineralization extending over 230 metres of strike length with notable hits of 1.41 g/t over 6 metres and 1.39 g/t over 11 metres. 400 metres east of the 149 Deposit, initial results suggest that mineralization may be extended into a new zone call 149 extension intercepting 1.31 g/t over 22 metres.

Metalla holds a 1% NSR on the Hudson, Egerton-Maclean, 149 and the majority of the Plenty deposit and a 3% NSR on the remainder of Plenty and Seloam Brook.

Endeavor Mine Silver Stream

The operator of the Endeavor Mine in Cobar, Australia, CBH Resources Limited ("CBH"), has completed their internal studies and reports that has outlined a substantial mineralized zone known as the Deep Zinc Lode "DZL", located roughly 200 meters below the limits of the current mine infrastructure. The silver stream held by Metalla covers 100% of the silver within the DZL mineralized zone. CBH has disclosed to Metalla that the DZL will add an indicated resource of 1.93 million ounces of silver (1.37 million tonnes @ 43.8 g/t) and inferred resource of 1.68 million ounces of silver (1.31 million tonnes @ 39.9 g/t) with expected recoveries of 90% on zinc and 30% on silver.

CBH has estimated a total of US$28.7M in capital and operating costs will need to be spent before the start of production on the DZL and timeline of approximately 18 months to complete development. CBH has initiated a formal sale process that is now underway for the Endeavor mine which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2020. As part of this process CBH has further implemented a reduction in the workforce and the mine has been placed on care and maintenance until a decision is made to develop the DZL.

Metalla has the right to buy 100% of the silver production up to 20 million ounces from the Endeavor Mine for an operating cost contribution of US$1.00 each ounce of payable silver, indexed annually for inflation, plus a further increment of 50% of the silver price in excess of US$7.00 per oz.

New Luika Silver Stream

Shanta Gold Limited ("Shanta") disclosed in their news release on January 16, 2020 that their annual production for 2019 totaled 84.5 thousand oz. of gold, ahead of their guidance of 80-84 thousand oz. for the year at NGLM located in Tanzania. Shanta also announced that it added 135 thousand oz. of gold reserves to the current mine plan during the year, net of depletion. For 2020, Shanta has disclosed guidance of 80-85 thousand oz. and a 65% increase in its exploration budget to US$5M over 2019.

Metalla holds a 15% interest in a silver stream on NLGM at an ongoing cost of 10% of spot.

Zaruma

Titan Minerals Ltd. ("Titan") announced by news release on January 14, 2020 they have been successful in their offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Core Gold, the owner of the Zaruma mine in Ecuador. Titan has stated they will become an emerging Latin American focused gold explorer, developer and producer with greater scale.

Metalla holds a 1.5% NSR on the Zaruma mine.

CORPORATE UPDATE

Effective January 16, 2020, the Company has appointed Mr. Terry Krepiakevich to the board of directors as an independent director. Mr. Krepiakevich is currently a member of the board of directors of several publicly listed and private companies, including as Chair of the Audit Committee for Alexco Resource Corp., a TSX-listed and NYSE American-listed mineral resources company since July 2009, and a director of Kaizen Discovery Resource Corp.

OUTLOOK

Primary revenue sources are expected to transition in 2020 as Joaquin and COSE move toward commercial production and the Endeavor Mine, which has been placed on care and maintenance, will receive final settlements on concentrate shipments through the first calendar quarter of 2020. NLGM production remains consistent but will remain a smaller portion of total expected revenue. The Company will provide guidance for fiscal 2020 upon commercial production achieved at Joaquin and COSE.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended November 30, 2019

The Company's net loss totaled $1,054,540 (2018 - $496,948) for the three months ended November 30, 2019. Overall, net loss for the current quarter was affected by increases in general and administrative expenses due to the Company's listing of its common shares on the NYSE American, LLC, share-based payments on the restricted share units ("RSUs") to be vested, and interest accretion charge related to the convertible facility with Beedie (the "Beedie Facility").

Six months ended November 30, 2019

The Company's net loss totaled $2,269,692 (2018 - $808,979) for the six months ended November 30, 2019. Overall, net loss for the current period was affected by the same factors discussed above, as well as decrease in attributable silver oz. sold and finance charges of $287,367 on the inception of the Beedie Facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company considers items included in shareholders' equity as capital. The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company's cash as at November 30, 2019 totaled $7,341,956 (May 31, 2019 - $4,603,062) and its working capital was $7,167,746 (May 31, 2019 - $862,799). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

The Company believes it has sufficient working capital to undertake its current business plan. However, should the Company undertake anything over and above these plans, management will need additional sources of working capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through public and/or private placements, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders.

During the six months ended November 30, 2019, cash increased by $2,738,894. The increase was due to net cash provided by financing activities of $3,966,221, partially offset by net cash used in operating and investing activities of $513,940 and $678,691, respectively. Exchange rate changes had a negative impact on cash of $34,696.

Operating activities

During the six months ended November 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $513,940, which included decreases in trade receivables and other of $181,071 and trade and other payable of $824,178 during the normal course of business.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


Investing activities

Cash used in the Company's investing activities during the six months ended November 30, 2019 totaled $678,691, which were related to the acquisition of NSR royalties.

Financing activities

Cash provided by the Company's financing activities during the six months ended November 30, 2019 totaled $3,966,221, which were primarily comprised of $7,000,000 from the Beedie Facility and $1,128,957 from the exercise of share purchase warrants and stock options, partially offset by $2,666,250 of principal loan repayments, $803,040 of dividend, $373,466 of finance charges, and $319,980 of interest.

Requirement of additional financing

Management believes that the Company's current operational requirements and capital projects can be funded from existing cash and cash generated from operations. If future circumstances dictate an increased cash requirement and we elect not to delay, limit, or eliminate some of our plans, we may raise additional funds through debt financing, the issuance of hybrid debt-equity securities, or additional equity securities. The Company has relied on equity financings and loans for its acquisitions, capital expansions, and operations. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. The Company's growth and success may be dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The aggregate value of transactions and outstanding balances relating to key management personnel were as follows:

    Salary     Share-based        
For the six months ended November 30, 2019   or fees     Payments     Total  
Management $ 164,450   $ 232,365   $ 396,815  
Directors   89,836     580,644     670,480  
  $ 254,286   $ 813,009   $ 1,067,295  

As at November 30, 2019, the Company had $Nil (May 31, 2019 - $407,284) due to directors and management related to remuneration and expense reimbursements, which have been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE

Subsequent to November 30, 2019, the Company:

  • completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new share for four old shares (1:4) effective December 17, 2019;
  • completed the listing of its common shares on the NYSE effective January 8, 2020; and
  • granted 12,000 RSUs and 600,000 stock options exercisable at $7.66 per share for five years (on a post-share consolidation basis) to employees, directors, officers, and consultants of the Company.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

While the Company continues to pursue further transactions, there are no binding transactions of a material nature that have not already been disclosed publicly.

COMMITMENTS

The Company had certain payments in cash and common shares related to its royalty interests, see Note 13 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended November 30, 2019.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statement of financial position are classified using 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 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 - Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. As at November 30, 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value.

The carrying value of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Receivable from provisional sales (if any) includes provisional pricing, and final price and assay adjustments and is valued using observable market commodity forward prices and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company's loan payable is approximated by its carrying value as its interest rates are comparable to market interest rates.

The Company's activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash deposits, as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk other than cash deposits. The Company's cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank. Receivables include value added tax due from the Canadian government. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Company's credit risk has not declined significantly from the prior year.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuing to monitor forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its development plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty interests, its holdings of cash, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the Company's non‐current liability are disclosed in Note 7 in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. All current liabilities are settled within one year.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily operates in Canada and Australia and incurs expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollars. Thereby, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Based on the above net exposure, as at November 30, 2019, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $43,000 in the Company's pre-tax income or loss.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting standards adopted during the period

Adoption of IFRS 16

The Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16") on June 1, 2019, in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, applying the modified retrospective approach.

At the inception of a contract, the new leasing standard requires the lessee to assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits during the term of the arrangement and has the right to direct the use of the asset. If a lease is identified, the new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases, and all leases that have a term of at least 12 months and are not of a low value will be recorded on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position.

The Company has completed its assessment of the new standard. The process included a review of all lease and service contracts, to determine if we have the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Based on the Company's analysis, the only contract to which the Company will apply the new standard relates to the lease for the use of the Company's office premise. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset of $26,029. The right-of-use asset was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability on adoption.

New accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16

At inception of a contract, an assessment is made as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or 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. At the commencement date of a lease, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease obligation is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and remeasured if there is a change in future lease payments.


METALLA ROYALTY & STREAMING LTD.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period if there is an indication the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is not recoverable.

Adoption of IFRIC 23

The Company adopted IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments ("IFRIC 23") on June 1, 2019, with retrospective application in accordance with the standard. IFRIC 23 clarifies the recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not result in any adjustments to the Company's financial results or disclosures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The Company's significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company has included, throughout this document, certain performance measures, including (a) average cash cost of silver per attributable ounce, (b) average realized silver price per attributable ounce, and (c) adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Average cash cost per attributable ounce

Average cash cost per attributable ounce is calculated by dividing the Company's total cash cost of sales, excluding depletion by the number of attributable silver ounces sold. The Company presents average cash cost per ounce as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis.

The Company presents adjusted EBITDA as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss) or cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under IFRS.

RISK FACTORS

For further information regarding the Company's operational risks, please refer to the detailed disclosure concerning the material risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's business set out in its annual MD&A, dated September 26, 2019, which is available on SEDAR under the Company's filer profile.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


 SHARE POSITION AND OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

As at the date of this MD&A, on a post-share consolidation basis, the Company had 34,143,268 common shares issued and outstanding. There were also 1,800,457 stock options and 1,280,851 share purchase warrants outstanding with expiry dates ranging from November 5, 2020 to January 16, 2025. In addition, there were 81,000 restricted share units with vesting dates ranging up to December 15, 2023.

Effective December 17, 2019, the Company completed a share consolidation on a basis of four (4) pre-consolidation shares for one (1) post-consolidation share, all figures above have been adjusted to reflect the four for one share consolidation.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING MINERAL RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES

The disclosure in this MD&A was prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"), which differs significantly from the current requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") set out in Industry Guide 7. Accordingly, such disclosure may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies that report in accordance with Industry Guide 7. In particular, this MD&A may refer to "mineral resources", "measured mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resources". While these categories of mineralization are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, they are not recognized by Industry Guide 7 and are not normally permitted to be disclosed in SEC filings by U.S. companies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of a "mineral resource", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be converted into a "reserve." In addition, "reserves" reported by the Company under Canadian standards may not qualify as reserves under Industry Guide 7. Under Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the mineralization can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the "reserve" determination is made. Accordingly, information contained or referenced in this MD&A containing descriptions of mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Industry Guide 7.

"Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Further, while NI 43-101 permits companies to disclose economic projections contained in preliminary economic assessments and pre-feasibility studies, which are not based on "reserves", U.S. companies have not generally been permitted to disclose economic projections for a mineral property in their SEC filings prior to the establishment of "reserves. "Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian reporting standards; however, Industry Guide 7 normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by Industry Guide 7 standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Historical results or feasibility models presented herein are not guarantees or expectations of future performance.

QUALIFIED PERSONS

The technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Charles Beaudry, geologist M.Sc., member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and of the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and a director of Metalla. Mr. Beaudry is a Qualified Person as defined in "National Instrument 43-101 Standards of disclosure for mineral projects".

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation. The forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date of this MD&A only and the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold and silver); fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the Canadian dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement thereof; regulatory, political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or other production-base interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or other production-base interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by the Company; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or non-operating interest; whether or not the Company is determined to have "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") status as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; the ability to maintain adequate controls as required by law; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or other production-based interest; the possibility that actual mineral content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or other production-based interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious diseases; the integration of acquired assets; as well as other factors identified and as described in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in this MD&A and in the Company's Annual Information Form and Form 40-F Annual Report filed with regulators in Canada at www.sedar.com and the SEC at www.sec.gov.

The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by management as at the date of such information and is subject to unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual actions, events or results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, without limitation: the impact of general business and economic conditions; the ongoing operation of the properties in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or other production-base interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Company's ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which the Company holds a royalty, stream, or other production-base interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; actual results of mining and current exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; problems inherent to the marketability of precious metals; stock market volatility; competition; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019


Although Metalla has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information.

This MD&A contains future-orientated information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about the Company's revenues from royalties, streams and other projects which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications set forth in the above paragraphs. FOFI contained in this MD&A was made as of the date of this MD&A and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about the Company's anticipated business operations. Metalla disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this MD&A, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. FOFI contained in this MD&A should not be used for the purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein.
