Uranium Royalty Corp.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

1. Corporate Information

 

Uranium Royalty Corp. (“URC” or “the Company”) is a company incorporated in Canada on April 21, 2017 and domiciled in Canada. URC is principally engaged in acquiring and assembling a portfolio of royalties and investing in companies with direct exposure to uranium. The registered office of the Company is located at 1000 Cathedral Place, 925 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3L2, Canada. The principal address of the Company is located at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3, Canada.

 

The Company’s common shares and its common share purchase warrants, each of which is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $2.00 per share until December 6, 2024 (the “Listed Warrants”), are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) under the symbols “URC” and “URC.WT”, respectively. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “UROY”.

 

2. Basis of Preparation

 

2.1 Statement of compliance

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors on July 28, 2021.

 

2.2 Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“$” or “dollars”) which is also the functional currency of URC. All values are rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.

 

2.3 Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Uranium Royalty Corp. and Uranium Royalty (USA) Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

 

All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.

 

The accounts of Uranium Royalty (USA) Corp. are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The functional currency of Uranium Royalty (USA) Corp. is the United States dollar. Foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using the period end exchange rate as to assets and liabilities and the average exchange rate as to income and expenses. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Foreign currencies

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period end exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Royalties and royalty options

 

All direct costs related to the acquisition of royalties and royalty options are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. Project evaluation costs that are not related to a specific agreement are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Income taxes

 

Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences, at the end of each reporting period, between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

 

  where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except:

 

  where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to either settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position on the trade date, being the date in which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and government loan payable. All financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and designated as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as financial assets at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and government loan payable are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Both financial assets at amortized cost and financial liabilities at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method.

 

Investments in ordinary shares are held for strategic purposes and not for trading. The Company classified these investments as fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). Such investments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Cumulative gains and losses are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Transaction costs on initial recognition of financial instruments classified as FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income as part of a change in fair value at the next remeasurement.

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire. Financial liabilities are derecognized only when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or otherwise expire. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount (measured at the date or derecognition) and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability obtained) is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Impairment of non-financial assets

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount, net of depreciation, that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Leases

 

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with short-term leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on deposit with banks and highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with a term to maturity at the date of purchase of 90 days or less which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

 

Restricted cash

 

Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that have been pledged for credit facilities which are not available for immediate disbursement.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of purchased inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

 

Related party transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

Net loss per share

 

Basic net loss per share includes no potential dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The basic and diluted net loss per share are the same as there are no instruments that have a dilutive effect on earnings.

 

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income 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 under different assumptions and conditions.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

 

Information about significant sources of estimation uncertainty and judgments made by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements are described below.

 

  The Company estimates the attributable reserve and resource relating to the mineral properties underlying the royalties that are held by the Company. Reserves and Resources are estimates of the amount of minerals that can be economically and legally extracted from the mining properties at which the Company has royalty interests, adjusted where applicable to reflect the Company’s percentage entitlement to minerals produced from such mines. The public disclosures of Reserves and Resources that are released by the operators of the interests involve assessments of geological and geophysical studies and economic data and the reliance on a number of assumptions, including commodity prices and production costs. The estimates of Reserves and Resources may change based on additional knowledge gained subsequent to the initial assessment. Changes in the Reserve or Resource estimates may impact the carrying value of the Company’s royalty interests.
     
  The Company’s business is the acquisition of royalties. Each royalty has its own unique terms and judgement is required to assess the appropriate accounting treatment. The determination of whether an acquisition should be accounted for as a royalty or a financial instrument requires the consideration of factors such as the terms of the agreement and the applicability of the own use exemption under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The assessment of whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business or whether assets are acquired is another area of key judgement. If deemed to be a business combination, applying the acquisition method to business combinations requires each identifiable asset and liability to be measured at its acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of the fair value of the consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the acquisition date fair values often requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events. The assumptions and estimates with respect to determining the fair value of royalty generally require a high degree of judgement, and include estimates of mineral reserves and resources acquired, future metal prices, discount rates and conversion of reserves and resources. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities could impact the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities.
     
  The assessment of impairment of royalty and other interests requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates when assessing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test as well as in the assessment of fair values. When assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, management uses its judgment in evaluating the indicators such as significant changes in future commodity prices, discount rates, foreign exchange rates, taxes, operator reserve and resource estimates or other relevant information received from the operators that indicates production from royalty interests will not likely occur or may be significantly reduced in the future. In addition, the Company may use other approaches in determining fair value which may include estimates related to (i) dollar value per unit of mineral reserve/resource; (ii) cash-flow multiples; (iii) comparable transactions and (iv) market capitalization of comparable companies. Changes in any of the estimates used in determining the fair value of the royalty and other interests could impact the impairment analysis.

9.4 Long Term Incentive Plan (continued)

 

So long as it may be required by the rules and policies of the TSX-V: (a) the total number of common shares issuable to any participant under the LTIP, at any time, together with common shares reserved for issuance to such participant under any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares; (b) the total number of common shares issuable to insiders within any one-year period and at any given time under the LTIP, together with any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares; and (c) the total number of common shares issuable to non-executive directors (excluding the Chair of the Board, if any) under the LTIP shall not exceed 3% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

 

The number of options to be granted, the exercise price(s) and the time(s) at which an option may be exercised shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, provided that the exercise price of options shall not be lower than the exercise price permitted by the TSX-V, and further provided that the term of any option shall not exceed ten years. So long as it may be required by the rules and policies of the TSX-V: (a) options shall not be granted if the exercise thereof would result in the issuance of more than 2% of the issued common shares in any twelve-month period to any one consultant or to persons conducting investor relations activities; and (b) the grant value of common shares issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the LTIP to any one non-executive director (excluding the Chair of the Board, if any) plus the number of common shares that are reserved at that time for issue or are issuable to such non-executive director pursuant to any other security-based compensation agreement shall not exceed $100,000 in any fiscal year, calculated by the Company as of the grant date. All options granted under the LTIP to persons providing investor relations activities will vest and become exercisable over a period of not less than twelve months, with no more than one quarter of such options vesting and becoming exercisable in any three month period.

 

No share-based awards have been granted by the Company during the year ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. 875,000 stock options were granted by the Company subsequent to April 30, 2021. (Note 16).

 

10. Capital Risk Management

 

The Company’s objectives are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and future acquisitions of royalties and royalty options, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in 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 new shares, debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.

 

At April 30, 2021, the Company’s capital structure consists of the equity of the Company (Note 9). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay dividends.

 

11. Financial Instruments

 

At April 30, 2021, the Company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and government loan payable. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

 

● Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.

● Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

11. Financial Instruments (continued)

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and government loan payable approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company’s short-term investment is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term investments is determined by obtaining the quoted market price of the short-term investment and multiplying it by foreign exchange rate, if applicable, and the quantity of shares held by the Company.

 

11.1 Financial risk management objectives and polices

 

The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, commodity price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

11.2 Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company’s bank balances. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by holding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with large, reputable financial institutions.

 

11.3 Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. The Company believes that, taking into account its current cash reserves, it has sufficient working capital for its present obligations for at least the next twelve months commencing from April 30, 2021. The Company’s working capital as at April 30, 2021 was $50,099,267. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.

 

11.4 Commodity price risk

 

The Company’s future profitability will be dependent on the royalty income to be received from mine operators. Royalties are based on a percentage of the minerals or the products produced, or revenue or profits generated from the property which is typically dependent on the prices of the minerals the property operators are able to realize. Mineral prices are affected by numerous factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global and regional supply and demand.

 

11.5 Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and guaranteed investment certificates, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest rate risks on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances are minimal.

 

11.6 Currency risk

 

Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net loss or other comprehensive income due to currency fluctuations include short-term investments denominated in UK pounds sterling and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash denominated in U.S. dollars. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against UK pounds sterling on short-term investments by 10% at April 30, 2021 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $2,599,000 on other comprehensive income. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against U.S. dollars on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by 10% would have an impact of approximately $153,000 on net loss for the year ended April 30, 2021.

11. Financial Instruments (continued)

 

11.7 Other price risk

 

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding investments in other mining companies. The Company does not actively trade these investments. The equity prices of these investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company’s short-term investments held as at April 30, 2021, a 10% change in the equity prices of these investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $2,599,000 on other comprehensive income.

 

12. Income Tax

 

The Company had no assessable profit for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed at the combined Canadian federal and provincial statutory rate to the provision for income taxes as shown in the statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Deferred tax assets:          
Non-capital losses carry-forward   869,467    530,089 
    -    - 

 

The temporary differences for which deferred income tax assets are not recognized are as follows:

 

  

As at

April 30, 2021

As at

April 30, 2020

Non-capital loss carry-forward   6,798,494    5,818,002 
Financing costs   1,024,773    1,906,148 
Unrecognized deferred income tax assets   7,823,267    7,724,150 

 

The deferred tax assets have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements, as management does not consider it more likely than not that those assets will be realized in the near future. The Company has non-capital losses which may be carried-forward to reduce taxable income in future years. The non-capital losses of $320,817, $3,281,631, $4,901,922 and $1,506,171 in Canada will expire on April 30, 2038, 2039, 2040 and 2041, respectively.

Margin Loan

 

On May 7, 2021, as amended on June 21, 2021, the Company received a margin loan facility for a maximum amount of $12 million (US$10 million) (the “Facility”) from a bank. The amount of the unutilized portion of the Facility may not exceed US$5,000,000 before May 7, 2022 (the “Unutilized Portion”). The margin loan is subject to an interest rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5.50% per annum and the unutilized portion of the Facility is subject to a standby fee of 2.50% per annum. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a one-time facility fee equal to 1.25% of the Facility.

 

The Facility is secured by a pledge of all the shares of Yellow Cake held by the Company. The Facility matures on the earlier of: (i) May 5, 2023; or (ii) the early payment date on which the outstanding loan amount is fully and finally paid and is subject to customary margin requirements, with margin calls being triggered in the event, among other things, that the loan-to-value ratio is at or above 50%. The Company may voluntarily repay the outstanding amount during the term of the Facility, provided that the outstanding balance of the loan shall not be less than the Unutilized Portion. The amounts that are voluntarily repaid may be reborrowed by the Company up to the maximum amount of the Facility. The bank has the option to set the early repayment date when the closing price of Yellow Cake share is equal to or less than GBP1.605.

 

On May 7, 2021, approximately $6.3 million (US$5,175,000) of the Facility was drawn down by the Company.

 

Acquisition of Royalties and Royalty Option

 

On May 7, 2021, pursuant to an amended and restated royalty purchase agreement dated effective February 10, 2021 (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) with Reserve Minerals Inc. and Reserve Industries Corp. (collectively, the “Royalty Vendors”), the Company acquired: (i) a 1% gross overriding royalty on an approximate 9% share of uranium production derived from an approximate 30.195% ownership interest of Orano Canada Inc. (“Orano”) on the McArthur River Project located in Saskatchewan, Canada; (ii) a 10% to 20% sliding scale net profits interest (an “NPI”) royalty on a 3.75% share of overall uranium production, drawn from Orano’s approximate 37.1% ownership interest in the Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project (the “Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project”) located in Saskatchewan, Canada; and (iii) an option to purchase the 20% NPI on a 7.5% share of overall uranium production from the project lands that comprise the early exploration stage Dawn Lake Project, which are adjacent to portions of the Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project. The royalty rate adjusts to 10% in the future upon production of 200 million pounds from the combined royalty lands of the Dawn Lake and Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Projects.

 

The consideration paid by the Company under the Royalty Purchase Agreement was approximately $16.3 million, which was satisfied by the Company by paying to the Royalty Vendors approximately $12.1 million (US$10.0 million) in cash and issuing to the Royalty Vendors 970,017 common shares of the Company.
