Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the following risk factors: limited or no access to data or the operations underlying the Company's interests; dependence on third-party operators; risks related to political unrest in Kazakhstan, which could negatively impact the Company's investment in Yellow Cake plc ("Yellow Cake") and its option to purchase uranium from Yellow Cake; dependence on future payments from owners and operators of the Company's royalty and other interests; royalties, streams and similar interests may not be honoured by operators of a project; risks relating to buy-back and similar rights held by the operators of the Company's interests; the impact of project costs on profit-based royalties, such as net profit interest or net proceeds royalties; risks faced by owners and operators of the properties underlying the Company's interests; title, permit or licensing disputes related to any of the properties in which the Company holds or may hold royalties, streams or similar interests; excessive cost escalation, as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which the Company holds or may hold royalties, streams or similar interests; volatility in market prices and demand for uranium and the market price of the Company's other investments, including as a result of geopolitical factors such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the political unrest in Kazakhstan; changes in general economic, financial, market and business conditions in the industries in which uranium is used; risks related to mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, including rate and timing of production differences from resource and reserve estimates; risks related to the public acceptance of nuclear energy in relation to other energy sources; alternatives to and changing demand for uranium; the absence of any public market for uranium; changes in the technologies pertaining to the use of uranium; changes in legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies, including regulations and political or economic developments in any of the jurisdictions where properties in which the Company holds or may hold royalties, streams or other interests are located; risks related to epidemics, pandemics and other health crises; investment price risks, which may affect the value of the Company’s current and future equity investments, including those in Yellow Cake and Queen's Road Capital Investment Ltd. ("QRC"); commodities price risks, which may affect revenue derived by the Company from its asset portfolio; risks associated with future acquisitions; effects of competition and pricing pressures; actual results differing materially from management estimates and assumptions; any inability of the Company to obtain necessary financing when required on acceptable terms or at all; risks related to the competitive nature of the royalty and streaming business; macroeconomic developments and changes in general economic, financial, market and business conditions in the industries in which uranium is used; liquidity risks in connection with the Company's equity investments, including those in Yellow Cake and QRC; reduced access to debt and equity capital; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar; fluctuations in the market prices of the Company's investments; risks related to interest rate fluctuations and foreign exchange rate fluctuations; any inability of the Company to execute its growth strategy; any inability to attract and retain key employees; litigation; risks associated with First Nations land claims; potential conflicts of interests; any inability to ensure compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws; any future expansion of the Company's business activities; any failure to maintain effective internal controls; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which the Company holds or may hold royalties, streams or similar interests, including, but not limited to, unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave ins, flooding and other natural disasters; and the other risks described under "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form for the year ended April 30, 2023 (the "AIF") and other filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, copies of which are available under its profile at www.sedar.com. These risks, as well as others, could cause actual results and events to vary significantly. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information, which are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake any obligations to release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws. Investors are urged to read the Company’s subsequent filings, which can be viewed online under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com or the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") at www.sec.gov.

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Company is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this annual report on Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company is also subject to Canadian auditor independence standards, as well as certain U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

2


 

The Company prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this annual report on Form 40-F, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS").

 

In addition, the Company is not required to prepare a reconciliation of its financial statements between IFRS and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and has not quantified such differences, which may be significant. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those prepared by U.S. companies.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The Company's AIF, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and resource estimates included in this annual report on Form 40-F and in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein have been prepared for or by the current or former owners and operators of the relevant properties, as and to the extent indicated by them, in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves as adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM Standards"), the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC"), or Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"), as applicable. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 permits disclosure of a "historical estimate" (as defined in NI 43-101) using historical terminology if, among other things, the disclosure: (a) identifies the source and date of the historical estimate; (b) comments on the relevance and reliability of the historical estimate; (c) states whether the historical estimate uses categories other than those prescribed by NI 43-101; and (d) includes any more recent estimates or data available.

The SEC has adopted mining disclosure rules under S-K 1300. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Company is not required to provide disclosure under S-K 1300 and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101. Under S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be substantially similar to the corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, as required under NI 43-101.

 

United States investors are cautioned that while terms are substantially similar to CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under S-K 1300 and the CIM Standards and there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under S-K 1300.

 

United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resources" that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable.

 

Further, "inferred resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101. In addition, the project stage classifications utilized by the Company under NI 43-101 do not conform to defined project stages under S-K 1300.

 

Certain resource estimates disclosed herein, have been prepared in accordance with JORC, which differs from the requirements of NI 43-101 and S-K 1300. Accordingly, information contained herein may contain descriptions of the projects underlying the Company’s interests that differ from similar information made available by Canadian and United States issuers.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company's management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

 

The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

4


 

Because of their inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's management (with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2023. This evaluation was based on the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 COSO Framework). Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as at April 30, 2023.

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm. This annual report on Form 40-F does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies. In addition, in accordance with the United States Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act (the "JOBS Act"), the Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" (an "EGC"), which entitles the Company to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements. Specifically, the JOBS Act defers the requirement to have the Company's independent auditor assess the Company's internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As such, the Company is exempted from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report in this annual report for so long as the Company remains an EGC.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Other than the introduction of new internal controls relating to the implementation of a new process for revenue recognition, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this annual report on Form 40-F.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR

The Company was not required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to send any notices to any of its directors or executive officers during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined that Neil Gregson is (i) an audit committee financial expert, under the applicable criteria prescribed by the SEC in the general instructions of Form 40-F and (ii) independent, under the applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

The SEC has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person as "expert" for any purpose, impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and Board in the absence of such designation, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code"), by which it and all employees, officers and directors of the Company, including the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, abide. There were no waivers granted in respect of the Code during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023.

 

The Code is posted on the Company's website at https://www.uraniumroyalty.com. If there is an amendment to the Code, or if a waiver of the Code is granted to any of the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, the Company intends to disclose any such amendment or waiver by posting such information on the Company's website within five business days of the amendment or waiver and such information will remain available for a twelve-month period. Unless and to the extent specifically referred to herein, the information on the Company's website shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this annual report.
