1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (the “Company”), which is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, is a public company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and trades under the symbol FAT.  The Company’s head office is located at Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T7.  The Company’s registered and records office is located at Royal Centre, 1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 1500, PO Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4N7.

 

On January 4, 2022, the Company changed its name to Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd.

 

On February 14, 2022, the Company began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the symbol FRRSF.

 

On July 5, 2023, the Company consolidated its common shares on the basis of 50 pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share. All shares, warrants and stock options in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are on post-consolidated basis.

 

On August 22, 2023, the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols FMST and FMSTW.

 

The Company is an exploration company focused on the identification and development of high potential mineral opportunities in stable jurisdictions.

 

Going concern of operations

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at December 31, 2023, the Company has had significant losses resulting in a deficit of $20,820,828 ( March 31, 2023 - $17,869,111). As at December 31, 2023, the Company also had a working capital deficiency of $1,992 ( March 31, 2023 - $2,117,473). In addition, the Company has not generated revenues from operations. The Company has financed its operations primarily through the issuance of common shares and short-term loans. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. Any such adjustments may be material.

 

The Company’s business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from Russia’s military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022. While the Company expects any direct impacts of the war in the Ukraine to its business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and on the mining industry and other industries in general could negatively affect the Company’s business and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing.  There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.

 

In order to continue as a going concern and to meet its corporate objectives, the Company will require additional financing through debt or equity issuances or other available means.  Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Statement of compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB and IFRIC. These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

 

Basis of measurement

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. and its subsidiaries, Sierra Gold & Silver Ltd. and Sequoia Gold & Silver Ltd.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.

 

Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect each of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d...)

 

Significant accounting judgments and critical accounting estimates

 

Significant accounting judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

1.

assessment of any indicators of impairment of the carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets;

   
 

2.

the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; and

   
 

3.

contingencies which, by their nature, will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. The Company is involved in certain claims, and the likelihood or outcomes of these claims involves the exercise of significant judgement.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rate in existence at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated at the period end date exchange rates.

 

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar, which is also the presentation currency of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial instruments

 

IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

 

The classification of debt instruments is driven by the business model for managing the financial assets, liabilities and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest.

 

If the business model is not to hold the debt instrument, it is classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.

 

The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the categories described below, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

 

Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL, and on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d...)

 

Financial instruments (cont’d…)

 

FVTPL – Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.

 

FVTOCI - Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.

 

Financial assets at amortized cost - A financial asset is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

 

Financial liabilities other than derivative liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Transaction costs on financial assets and liabilities other than those classified at FVTPL are treated as part of the carrying value of the asset or liability. Transaction costs for assets and liabilities at FVTPL are expensed as incurred.

 

The following table shows the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial instruments under IFRS 9:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d...)

 

New accounting standards issued and effective

 

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not effective and have not been early adopted in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The following accounting standards and amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024:

 

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1) - The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date.

 

The adoption of this new accounting standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Capital management

 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  In the management of capital, the Company monitors its adjusted capital which comprises all components of equity (i.e., capital stock, reserves and deficit).

 

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.  In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue common shares through private placements.  The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements.  The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from fiscal year 2024.

 

Fair value

 

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

13.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

 

Fair value (cont’d…)

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

 

The fair value of the Company’s long-term investment and derivative liability were calculated using Level 1 inputs.

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the current portion of net investment in sublease, lease obligations and short-term loans payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Financial risk factors

 

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consists primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major Canadian financial institutions and monitors the incoming sublease monthly payments to ensure they are current.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due.  As at December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $1,453,147 ( March 31, 2023 – $574,587) to settle current liabilities of $1,822,554 ( March 31, 2023 – $2,912,822).  All of the Company’s financial liabilities, except only certain loans payable, have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.  The Company is exposed to liquidity risk and is dependent on obtaining regular financings in order to continue as a going concern.  Despite previous success in acquiring these financings, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings.

 

Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

 

Interest rate risk 

 

The Company has cash balances and no variable interest-bearing debt.  The Company’s cash does not have significant exposure to interest rate risk.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

 

Financial risk factors (cont’d…)

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and option agreement payments that are denominated in a foreign currency. There is a risk in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar and a significant change in this rate could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

 

Price risk

 

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of gold and lithium, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
