Loncor Resources Inc.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

1. Corporate Information

Loncor Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Loncor") is a corporation governed by the Ontario Business Corporations Act. The principal business of the Company is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly owned subsidiaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "Congo"), Loncor Resources Congo SARL, in the U.S., Nevada Bob's Franchising, Inc., and in Canada, Loncor Kilo Inc. Loncor Resources Congo SARL owns 100% of the common shares of Devon Resources SARL and 100% of Navarro Resources SARL.

Loncor Kilo Inc. owns 84.68% of the outstanding shares of Admubi Mining S.A. ("Adumbi"), a company registered in the Congo which changed its name from KGL-Somituri SARL in January 2020, and 100% of the common shares of Kilo Isiro Atlantic Ltd (a British Virgin Islands company). Kilo Isiro Atlantic Ltd owns 49% of the shares of Isiro (Jersey) Limited which in turn owns 100% of the shares of KGL Isiro SARL in the Congo.

The Company is a publicly traded company whose outstanding common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the OTCQX market in the United States and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The head office of the Company is located at 1 First Canadian Place, 100 King St. West, Suite 7070, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E3, Canada.

2. Basis of Preparation

a) Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The disclosure contained in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements does not include all the requirements in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1"). Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which include information necessary to understand the Company's business and financial statement presentation.

b) Going Concern

The Company incurred a net loss of $832,188 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (three months ended March 31, 2020 - $664,694) and as at March 31, 2021 had working capital of $894,827 (December 31, 2020 - working capital deficit of $1,086,420).

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

Management is also closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business, including the impact on employees, operations, supplies, liquidity and capital resources. In order for the Company to continue as a going concern and fund its operations, the Company will require additional financing. The availability of financing will be affected by, among other things, the state of the capital markets considering the impact of COVID-19 and strategic partnership arrangements. The recoverability of the amount shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue to perform exploration activity or complete the development of the properties where necessary, or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to recover its incurred costs through a disposition of its interests, all of which are uncertain.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, then existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. Any failure on its part to raise additional funds on terms favourable to the Company or at all, may require the Company to significantly change or curtail its current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated, and could result in the Company not taking advantage of other available business opportunities.

In the event the Company is unable to identify recoverable resources, receive the necessary permitting, or arrange appropriate financing, the carrying value of the Company's assets and liabilities could be subject to material adjustment. These matters create material uncertainties that cast significant and substantial doubt upon the validity of the going concern assumption.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any additional adjustments to the recoverability and classification of certain recorded asset amounts, classification of certain liabilities and changes to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss that might be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

c) Basis of measurement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are presented at fair value. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by all group entities and to all periods presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

a) Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as ability to offset these returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. This control is generally evidenced through owning more than 50% of the voting rights or currently exercisable potential voting rights of a company's share capital. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Consolidation accounting is applied for all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (see note 5).

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Inter-company balances, transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses, are eliminated in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company's interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

b) Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates 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.

c) New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities. The amendment clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent depends on the rights existing at the end of the reporting period as opposed to the expectations of exercising the right for settlement of the liability. The amendments further clarify that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the financial impact of the amendment on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment

On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment to prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items are to be recognized in profit and loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the earliest period presented in the financial statements in the year in which the amendments are first applied. The Company is assessing the financial impact of the amendment on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets to specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendment specifies that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to the contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling the contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendments are effective for contracts for which the Company has not yet fulfilled all its obligations on or after January 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the financial impact of the amendment on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments clarifying which fees to include in the test in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability. Only those fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other's behalf are included. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the financial impact of the amendment on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Acquisitions

Loncor Kilo Inc.

On September 27, 2019, the Company closed certain transactions provided for by an agreement (the "Agreement") entered into by the Company with Resolute (Treasury) Pty Ltd ("Resolute"), Kilo Goldmines Ltd. ("KGL") and Kilo Goldmines Inc. ("Kilo Inc.", and together with KGL, "Kilo"), and which resulted in the Company acquiring Kilo Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement, (a) Resolute assigned to the Company, for nominal consideration, all of Resolute's rights under a secured cash advance facility (the "Facility") which Resolute had made available to Kilo (including Resolute's rights under the security provided by Kilo in respect of the Facility (the "Security")), (b) Kilo consented to the said assignment of the Facility (including the Security) from Resolute to the Company, and (c) following implementation of the said assignment, the Company exercised its rights under the Security (the "Security Enforcement") as a secured creditor to realize on all of the outstanding shares of Kilo Inc., in full satisfaction of all amounts owing under the Facility (prior to the Security Enforcement, Kilo Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of KGL). In the Agreement, Kilo agreed to cooperate with and assist the Company in the Security Enforcement and for such cooperation and assistance, the Company paid $98,124 (Cdn$130,000) to KGL. 

Upon the Company completing the Security Enforcement, Kilo Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, such that the Company now holds, through Kilo Inc., Kilo Inc.'s mineral projects in the Congo (these mineral projects consisted of a 71.25% interest in the Adumbi properties and a 49% interest in the Isiro properties, which are all located in the Ngayu gold belt in northeastern Congo near Loncor's existing Ngayu properties).  See Notes 9(e) and 9(f).

The acquisition of Kilo Inc. has been recorded as a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations.The total consideration has been allocated to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as follows:

Total consideration:      
Cash consideration $ 98,124  
Purchase Price $ 98,124  
       
Fair value of assets and liabilities:      
Cash and cash equivalent $ 599  
Property, Plant and Equipment $ 223,346  
Exploration and Evaluation Assets $ 175,446  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ (301,267 )
Fair value of net assets acquired $ 98,124  

In March 2020, the Company acquired an additional 5.04% interest in Adumbi pursuant to a private transaction with one of the former minority shareholders of Adumbi for total consideration of $140,000. This acquisition increased the Company's interest in Adumbi from 71.25% to 76.29%. In September 2020, Adumbi was restructured as per the requirements of the OHADA (Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa) Uniform Act relating to commercial companies. The restructuring resulted in the Company increasing its interest in Adumbi Mining to 84.68%, minority shareholders holding 5.32% and the Congo 10%. The Congo was allocated 10% in accordance with the requirements of the new Congo Mining Code enacted in 2018. Also as a result of the restructuring, Adumbi Mining now operates as "Adumbi Mining S.A." rather than Adumbi Mining SARL.

Devon and Navarro

In June 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Devon Resources SARL (Devon), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Congo, for total consideration comprising:

a) The issuance by the Company of 500,000 common shares of the Company valued at Cdn$100,000;

b) The payment of $75,000 in cash; and

c) The payment of $190,000 in satisfaction of an outstanding loan provided by Devon to the Company.

Also, in June 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Navarro Resources SARL (Navarro), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Congo, for a total purchase price of $300,000, paid for by the settlement of a $300,000 loan provided by the Company to Navarro.

Both acquisitions have been treated as a purchase of assets for accounting purposes as the requirements for business combinations under IFRS 3 Business Combination had not been met.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

a. North Kivu

The North Kivu project is situated in the North Kivu Province in eastern Congo to the northwest of Lake Edward and consists of various exploration permits. All of these exploration permits are currently under force majeure due to the poor security situation, affecting the Company's ability to carry out the desired exploration activities.  The duration of the event of force majeure is added to the time limit for execution of obligations under the permits. Exploration estimates to date have not advanced to the stage of being able to identify the quantity of possible resources available for potential mining. Under force majeure, the Company has no tax payment obligations and does not lose tenure of mining titles until force majeure is lifted.

b.    Ngayu

The Ngayu project consists of various exploration permits and is found within the Tshopo, Haut-Uélé and Ituri provinces in the northeast of the Congo, approximately 270 kilometers northeast of Kisangani. The Ngayu project covers part of the Ngayu Archaean greenstone belt which is one of a number of greenstone belts in the north-east Congo Archaeancraton that includes the Kilo and Moto greenstone belts. These Archaean greenstone belts are the northwestern extensions of the Lake Victoria greenstone belt terrain that hosts a number of world class gold deposits including Geita and Bulyanhulu.

In 2015, due to a decrease in gold prices coupled with the reduction of the exploration budget, the Company conducted an impairment analysis whereby the carrying value of the Ngayu exploration and evaluation asset as at December 31, 2015 was assessed for possible impairment. The asset's recoverable amount was calculated applying a fair value of $15 per ounce of gold in the ground, which was provided by a valuation analysis of an independent report on similar African exploration companies, to the Ngayu project's Makapela estimated mineral resource. Since the carrying value of the asset was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss of $2,300,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015. As at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company conducted an analysis of various factors and determined that there was no further impairment recognized by IFRS 6, and no evidence to support an impairment reversal. As at March 31, 2021, the Company determined that no impairment charge or gain was required.

c. Devon

The Devon properties consist of three (3) exploration permits situated in the province of Haut-Uele in north eastern Congo. These exploration permits were renewed during 2018 and  are subject to final DRC Cadastre Minier (CAMI) administrative processing.

d. Navarro

The Navarro properties consist of six (6) exploration permits situated in the provinces of Ituri and Haut-Uele in north eastern Congo.

e. Adumbi

The Adumbi (previously KGL-Somituri, See Note 4) properties consist of six (6) mining licenses valid until 2039 and which cover an area of 361 square kilometers within the Archaean Ngayu Greenstone Belt in the Ituri and Haut Uele provinces in north eastern Congo. The Company's interest in the Adumbi properties was acquired in September 2019 through the agreement with Resolute, KGL and Kilo Inc. (see Note 4). The six mining licenses (Exploitation permits)

are registered in the name of Adumbi, a company incorporated under the laws of the Congo in which the Company holds a 84.68% interest and the minority partners hold 15.32% (including 10% free carried interest owned by the government of the Congo). See Note 4.


Loncor Resources Inc.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

Under an agreement signed in April 2010 with the minority partners of Adumbi, the Company's subsidiary Loncor Kilo Inc. agreed to finance all activities of Adumbi, until the filing of a bankable feasibility study, by way of loans which bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Within thirty days of the receipt of a bankable feasibility study, the minority partners may collectively elect to exchange their equity participation for either a 2% net smelter royalty, or a 1% net smelter royalty plus an amount equal to 2 Euros per ounce of proven mineral reserves.

f. Isiro

The Isiro properties consist of eleven (11) exploration permits registered in the name of KGL-Isiro SARL and covering an area of 1,884 square kilometers in the province of Haut Uele, in north eastern Congo. The Company owns through Loncor Kilo Inc. 100% of the common shares of Kilo Isiro Atlantic Ltd. Kilo Isiro Atlantic Ltd owns 49% of the shares of Isiro (Jersey) Limited, which in turn owns 100% of the shares in KGL-Isiro SARL (a company registered in the Congo).

The KGL Isiro SARL permits were put under force majeure with effect from February 14, 2014 pending resolution of a court action involving these properties and their expiry is extended by the period of force majeure.

The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with Barrick Gold (DRC) Limited relating to three of the Isiro exploration permits.  The terms of this agreement are substantially the same as the other joint venture agreements that the Company currently has with Barrick (see "Additional Barrick Agreements" below).  Under this Isiro joint venture agreement, Barrick manages and funds all exploration of the joint venture ground until the completion of a pre-feasibility study (Loncor shall only be called upon to contribute to the future costs of the joint venture after the approval of the completed pre-feasibility study by the joint venture committee). Once the joint venture committee has determined to move ahead with a full feasibility study, a special purpose vehicle ("SPV") would be created to hold the specific discovery area.  Subject to the DRC's free carried interest requirements, Barrick would retain 65% of the SPV with Loncor holding the balance of 35%.  Loncor would be required to fund its pro-rata share of the SPV in order to maintain its 35% interest or be diluted. 

Additional Barrick Agreements

In January 2016, the Company's subsidiary, Loncor Resources Congo SARL ("Loncor Congo"), entered into an agreement with Randgold Resources (DRC) Limited (which is now named Barrick Gold (DRC) Limited)("Barrick") with respect to a portion of the Company's Ngayu project. This agreement provides for the potential future establishment of a joint venture special purpose company ("Mining Company") between Loncor Congo and Barrick. The Mining Company will be established only if exploration activities undertaken by Barrick at the Ngayu project result in an approved completed pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting the investment criteria of Barrick.  The agreement does not include certain parcels of land surrounding and including the Makapela and Yindi prospects which are retained by Loncor Congo and do not form part of the agreement.

Loncor Congo shall only be called upon to contribute to the future costs of the Mining Company after the approval of the completed pre-feasibility study. The parties will then (a) contribute to the funding required pro rata to their participating interests (65% for Barrick and 35% for Loncor Congo, less the free carried interest attributable to Congo authorities under applicable law, determined at the time of establishment) once the Mining Company has been established and any mining rights with respect to the area of discovery are transferred to the Mining Company, or (b) be diluted. The decision-making committee of the Mining Company will determine whether the funding is contributed (for the purpose of funding the Mining Company) by way of equity or shareholder loans.

The Devon properties are also part of an agreement with Barrick, with the terms similar to the terms of Barrick's agreement with Loncor Congo, as summarized above.

In June 2020, the Company's 84.68%-owned subsidiary, Adumbi Mining S.A. ("Adumbi Mining"), entered into a joint venture agreement (the "New Barrick JV") with Barrick for two of the exploitation permits held by Adumbi Mining (the "JV Permits") covering ground contiguous to the Company's Imva area within the Ngayu gold belt in the northeast of the Congo.  The purpose of the New Barrick JV is to conduct exploration on the JV Permit properties to evaluate possible development and mining of such properties. The terms of this New Barrick JV are similar to the terms of Barrick's agreement with Loncor Congo, as summarized above.

Loncor Resources Inc.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

On January 1, 2021, the outstanding balance of the CEBA LOC will automatically convert to a 2-year interest free term loan ("CEBA Term Loan"). The CEBA Term Loan may be repaid at any time without notice or the payment of any penalty. If 75% of the CEBA Term Loan is repaid on or before December 31, 2022, the repayment of the remining 25% of such CEBA Term Loan shall be forgiven. If on December 31, 2022, the Compny exercises the option for a 3-year extension, 5% interest during the term extension period will aply on any balance remaining.

The Company recorded the CEBA LOC upon initial recognition at its fair value of $24,146 (Cdn$32,906) using an effective interest rate of 3.45%. The difference of $5,201 (Cdn$7,094) between the fair value and the total amount of CEBA LOC received has been recorded as a fair value gain on loans advanced in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. During the period ended March 31, 2021, interest of $233.50 (Cdn$313) has been accreted on the CEBA LOC and is included within "interest and bank expenses" in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss (March 31, 2020 - $Nil).

Each such unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant") of the Company, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of Cdn$0.75 for a period of 12 months following the closing date of the issuance of the units. In March 2021, stock options to purchase a total of 1,050,000 common shares of the Company were exercised for gross proceeds of $99,527 (Cdn$126,000).

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had 6,492,800 outstanding common share purchase warrants (December 31, 2020 - 537,000).

During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 5,750,000 common shares purchase warrants and 205,800 finder warrants in connection with the February 2021 private placement financing. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 537,000 finder warrants in connection with the July and August 2020 private placement financing. These warrants are classified as equity settled share-based payment transactions and accounted for under IFRS 2.

No warrants were forfeited or cancelled during the period ended March 31, 2021 and for year ended December 31, 2020.

The value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions at grant date and period end date were as follows:

(i) Risk-free interest rate: 0.17% - 0.29%, which is based on the Bank of Canada benchmark bonds yield 2 year rate in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the warrants

(ii) Expected volatility: 78.23% - 92.15%, which is based on the Company's historical stock prices

(iii) Expected life: 0 - 2 year

(iv) Expected dividends: $Nil

d) Loss per share

Loss per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounting to 119,319,507 (three months ended March 31, 2020 - 99,499,841) common shares. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to 119,319,507 (three months ended March 31, 2020 - 99,499,841) common shares. Stock options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive and therefore are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

15. Share-Based Payments

The Company has an incentive Stock Option Plan under which non-transferable options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option, and the exercise of the options granted is not dependent on any performance-based criteria. In accordance with these programs, options are exercisable at a price not less than the last closing price of the shares at the grant date.

Under this Stock Option Plan, unless otherwise determined by the board at the time of the granting of the options, 25% of the options granted vest on each of the 6 month, 12 month, 18 month and 24 month anniversaries of the grant date.  As per the determination of the board, (a) the stock options granted on June 24, 2019, December 6, 2019, January 14, 2020 and March 15, 2021 and certain stock options granted on September 15, 2020 fully vested on the 4 month anniversary of the grant date, and (b) other stock options granted on September 15, 2020 vested on the grant date.

The following tables summarize information about stock options:

16. Lease obligations

The Company has a lease agreement for the head office location in Toronto, Canada with a monthly obligation of aproximately $16,500 (Cdn $22,500).

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 to its accounting policy and recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability of $739,106 (Cdn $1,008,331) for its office lease agreement. On July 1, 2020 the right-of-use-asset was revalued at $687,957 (Cdn $932,123). The right-of-use asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The discount rate used to revalue the lease liability was 3.45%. As at March 31, 2021, the undiscounted cash flows for this office lease agreement to October 31, 2022 were $315,934 (Cdn $430,545).

Changes in the lease obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:

    March 31, 2021     December 31, 2020  
Balance - beginning of the period $ 348,244   $ 591,183  
Liability settled $ (54,168 ) $ (213,183 )
Liability revaluation $ -   $ (51,149 )
Interest expense $ 3,004   $ 21,393  
Balance - end of the period $ 297,080   $ 348,244  
             
   Current portion $ 193,520   $ 188,370  
   Long-term portion $ 103,559   $ 159,874  
Total lease obligation $ 297,080   $ 348,244  

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized lease revenues of $13,033 in the interim condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss from its sub-lease arrangement with Gentor Resources Inc (three months ended March 31, 2020 - $15,147). The Company has an exploration office lease in Congo, which can be cancelled with three months notices in advance without any penalty. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the lease expense  in the amount of $5,100 (three months ended March 31, 2020 - $5,100) in relation to the Congo office, was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets.

17. Financial risk management objectives and policies

a) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, advances receivable and prepaid expenses, balances due to and from related parties, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the employee retention allowance approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. 

Fair value hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Loncor Resources Inc.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the reporting period. Cash and cash equivalents are ranked Level 1 as the market value is readily observable. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value, as maturities are less than three months.

b) Risk Management Policies

The Company is sensitive to changes in commodity prices and foreign-exchange. The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. Although the Company has the ability to address its price-related exposures through the use of options, futures and forward contracts, it does not generally enter into such arrangements.

c) Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the United States dollar and Canadian dollar or other foreign currencies will affect the Company's operations and financial results. A portion of the Company's transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company is also exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its monetary assets and liabilities.  Significant foreign exchange gains or losses are reflected as a separate item in the interim condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

The following table indicates the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on net working capital as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The table below also provides a sensitivity analysis of a 10 percent strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar which would have increased the Company's net loss by the amounts shown in the table below. A 10 percent weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would have had the equal but opposite effect as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

    March 31, 2021     December 31, 2020  
    Canadian dollar     Canadian dollar  
             
Cash and cash equivalents   1,603,269     260,173  
Advances receivable and prepaids   14,752     22,353  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (499,427 )   (508,573 )
Due from related parties   124,360     42,619  
Due to related parties   (208,037 )   (355,419 )
Employee retention allowance   (234,471 )   (234,471 )
Loans   (34,054 )   (33,741 )
Total foreign currency financial assets and liabilities   766,392     (807,060 )
   Foreign exchange closing rate   0.7952     0.7854  
Total foreign currency financial assets and liabilities in US $   609,435     (633,865 )
Impact of a 10% strengthening of the US $ on net loss   60,943     (63,386 )

d) Credit Risk

Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and advances receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions of reputable credit and may be redeemed upon demand.  It is therefore the Company's opinion that such credit risk is subject to normal industry risks and is considered minimal. The credit risk of advances receivable is, in management opinion, normal given ongoing relationships with those debtors.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on any investments by investing only in securities rated R1 (the highest rating) by credit rating agencies such as the DBRS (Dominion Bond Rating Service).  Management continuously monitors the fair value of any investments to determine potential credit exposures. Short-term excess cash is invested in R1 rated investments including money market funds and other highly rated short-term investment instruments.  Any credit risk exposure on cash balances is considered negligible as the Company places deposits only with major established banks in the countries in which it carries on operations.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.  The Company's gross credit exposure at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was as follows:

 

      For the three months ended   
  Note   March 31, 2021     March 31, 2020  
Depreciation included in exploration and evaluation assets 8 $ 4,189   $ 4,196

Fees paid by common shares, stock options or warrants 14b   22,733     63,727  

e)  Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company attempts to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they are due and 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. Temporary surplus funds of the Company are invested in short-term investments. The Company arranges the portfolio so that securities mature approximately when funds are needed. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases. The Company's liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash and cash equivalents and equity capital markets. All financial obligations of the Company including accounts payable of $373,462, accrued liabilities of $179,759, due to related parties of $163,930, employee retention allowance of $186,451, lease obligation of $193,520 and a loan of $3,755 are due within one year.

f) Mineral Property Risk

The Company's operations in the Congo are exposed to various levels of political risk and uncertainties, including political and economic instability, government regulations relating to exploration and mining, military repression and civil disorder, all or any of which may have a material adverse impact on the Company's activities or may result in impairment in or loss of part or all of the Company's assets.

g) Capital Management

The Company manages its common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. The Company's policy is to maintain sufficient capital base in order to meet its short term obligations and at the same time preserve investors' confidence required to sustain future development of the business.

    March 31,     December 31,  
    2021     2020  
Share capital $ 88,810,220   $ 85,147,700  
Reserves $ 9,792,977   $ 8,940,059  
Deficit $ (64,041,645 ) $ (63,209,457 )
  $ 34,561,552   $ 30,878,302  

The Company's capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") which requires adequate working capital or financial resources such that, in the opinion of TSX, the listed issuer will be able to continue as a going concern. TSX will consider, among other things, the listed issuer's ability to meet its obligations as they come due, as well as its working capital position, quick asset position, total assets, capitalization, cash flow and earnings as well as accountants' or auditors' disclosures in the consolidated financial statements regarding the listed issuer's ability to continue as a going concern.

20. Government Assistance

In April 2020, the Government of Canada announced the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") in order to help employers retain and/or return Canadian-based employees to payrolls in response to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Loncor determined that it met the employer eligibility criteria and applied for the CEWS retroactively to March 15, 2020. Cash payments of $30,295 (Cdn $40,604) were received in the year 2020. The Company has recorded a total gross subsidy of $nil under "interest and other income" in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the period ended March 31, 2021 (year ended December 31, 2020 - $30,295).

In July 2020, the program was redesigned and extended until December 2020. In September and November 2020, the Government of Canada announced further extensions of the program to June 2021. The Company intends to continue its participation in the CEWS program, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements. There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to the current CEWS program.
