INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

To the Shareholders of

First Phosphate Corp.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of First Phosphate Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at February 28, 2026 and 2025, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

 

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 28, 2026 and 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”).

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Key Audit Matters

 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our auditor’s report.

 

Other Information

 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

 

 

 3 | P a g e

 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

 

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

 

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 4 | P a g e

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Daniel Nathan.

FIRST PHOSPHATE CORP. 

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2026 and 2025

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

 

 

1.Nature of Operations

 

 

First Phosphate Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia on September 18, 2006. On June 29, 2022 the Company filed articles of amendment with the Province of British Columbia changing its name from First Potash Corp. to First Phosphate Corp. The Company owns and is developing igneous rock phosphate mineral properties in the Saguenay Region of Quebec for the production of cathode active material (“CAM”) for the Lithium Iron Phosphate (“LPF”) battery industry.

 

The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “PHOS” on the Canadian Securities Exchange, “FRSPF” on the OTC Pink Market and “KD0” on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. On February 12, 2026, the Company launched a Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) program trading on the OTCQX market under the symbol "FPHOY," with each ADR representing ten common shares.

 

The address of the Company’s corporate office and registered and records office is 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7.

 

2.Going Concern

 

 

These financial statements have been prepared under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. Given the current stage of operations, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on its ability to obtain additional financing. While the Company has been successful in arranging financing in the past, the success of such initiatives cannot be assured. As of February 28, 2026, the Company has raised adequate financing that is sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in other than the normal course of operations and at amounts which may differ from those shown in these financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.

 

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

3.Basis of Presentation
 

 

(a)Statement of compliance

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.

 

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

 

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 29, 2026.

 

(b)Functional and presentation currency

 

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company, unless otherwise stated.

 

(c)Critical accounting judgements and estimates

 

In preparing these financial statements, management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

 

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

 

Income tax

 

Tax provisions are based on enacted or substantively enacted laws. Changes in those laws could affect amounts recognized in profit or loss both in the period of change, which would include any impact on cumulative provisions, and in future periods. Deferred tax assets (if any) are recognized only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those deferred tax assets are likely to reverse and a judgment as to whether or not there will be sufficient taxable profits available to offset the tax assets when they do reverse. This requires assumptions regarding future profitability and is therefore inherently uncertain. To the extent assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognized in respect of deferred tax assets as well as the amounts recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the change occurs.

FIRST PHOSPHATE CORP. 

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2026 and 2025

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

 

 

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

 

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure and impairment of the capitalized expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in net loss in the year the new information becomes available.

 

Fair value of financial liabilities

 

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Management applies judgment in determining the lease term — in particular, whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise renewal or termination options — and in estimating the incremental borrowing rate used to discount the payments. These judgments affect the carrying amount of both the lease liability and the related right-of-use asset.

 

The bridge loan is expected to be settled on occurrence of a specified repayment event. Management applies judgment in estimating the likelihood and expected timing of settlement, which depends on assumptions about future production decisions that are inherently uncertain.

 

Changes in these judgments could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the liabilities and a corresponding adjustment to profit or loss in the period in which the change occurs.

 

Ability to continue as a going concern

 

The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cause doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern.

 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments to the financial statements.

 

Valuation of share-based payments

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share purchase options and broker’s warrants granted. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected share price, price volatility, dividend yield and forfeiture rate. The stock-based compensation recognized for RSU’s is determined based on management’s grant date estimate of the forfeitures that are expected to occur over the life of the RSUs. Changes in the input assumptions can materially impact fair value estimates and the Company’s comprehensive loss and equity reserves.

 

The Company applies judgement in determining the value of common shares issued for non-cash consideration which cannot be reliably measured. In determining the fair value of the common shares, management estimated the fair value of the common shares by reference to the price of the common shares issued for cash approximately around the time of the issue of the common shares as management believe that this was the most reliable measure. This judgement requires management to make various assumptions and estimates which are susceptible to uncertainty.

4.Material Accounting Policy Information
 

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and reflect the following material accounting policy information:

 

Financial instruments

 

Recognition

 

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

 

Classification

 

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

 

(i)    those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”), or profit and loss (“ FVTPL”); and

(ii)   those to be measured at amortized cost.

 

The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized costunless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (an irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income or loss.

 

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified. The Company has implemented the following classifications:

 

Financial Instrument Classification
Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL
Investments FVTPL
Restricted cash Amortized cost
Accounts payable Amortized cost
Lease liabilities Amortized cost
Bridge loan Amortized cost

Measurement

 

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. The Company measures its financial instruments as below. See Note 17 for additional information on the classification of the Company’s financial instruments.

 

Impairment

 

Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that they are impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset that can be estimated reliably.

 

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

 

Basic and diluted loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. For diluted per share computations, assumptions are made regarding potentialcommon shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the year, or attime of issuance, if later, all options and warrants are exercised. Proceeds from exercise are used to purchase theCompany’s common shares at their average market price during the year, thereby reducing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. If these computations prove to be anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

 

Prepaid financing expenses

 

Financing expenses for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with any incremental costs) and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan. When it is unlikely that a loan will be drawn down, the prepaid financing expenses are deferred and recognized in profit or loss over the commitment period of the related loan on a straight-line basis. If at the end of the commitment period, the full amount of prepaid financing expense hasn’t been recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan, the remaining deferred portion is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Income taxes

 

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.

 

Current taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years.

 

 

 14 | P a g e

Current taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss.

 

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Share based payments

 

The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the options. A fair value measurement is made for each vesting installment within each option grant and is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the options is recognized over the vesting period of the options granted as both share-based compensation expense and reserves. This includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. The reserves account is subsequently reduced if the options are exercised, and the amount initially recorded is then credited to capital stock.

 

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.

 

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers and consultants. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the RSUs with reference to the closing trading price of its common stock on the grant date. The fair value is recognized over the vesting period of the RSUs granted as both share-based compensation expense and contributed surplus. The contributed surplus account is subsequently reduced if the RSUs are exercised, and the amount initially recorded is then credited to common shares.

 

Tax credits recoverable

 

The Company is entitled to a refundable tax credit on qualified exploration expenditures incurred and refundable credit on duties for losses under the Mining Tax Act. These tax credits are recognized as a reduction of the exploration costs incurred when there is reasonable assurance these credits will be realized. During the year ended February 28, 2026, the Company received $1,244,955 in refundable tax credits (2025 - $544,256).

Unit offerings

 

Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method. Proceeds are first allocated to shares according to the quoted price of existing shares at the time of issuance and any residual in the proceeds is allocated to warrants.

 

Flow-through placements

 

Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploratory activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with income tax legislation. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as an other liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the other liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.

 

Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The Company may also be subject to Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the look-back rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financing expense until qualifying expenditures are incurred.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in the Company’s equity that results from transactions and events other than the Company’s shareholders. Gains and losses that would otherwise be recorded as part of net earnings is presented in other comprehensive income until it is considered appropriate to recognize into net income. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss)and represents the change in shareholders’ equity which results from transactions and events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders. For the years presented, net loss is the same as comprehensive loss.

 

Exploration and evaluation assets

 

Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for minerals, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.

 

Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to acquisition are recognized and capitalized. Subsequent exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred. These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on plant and equipment during the exploration phase, and are presented net of any related tax credits or government grants. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are also expensed as incurred.

Mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and evaluation expenditures are recorded at cost. When shares are issued as part of mineral property acquisition costs, they are valued at the closing share price on the date of issuance unless the fair value of goods or services received is determinable. When the Company acquires property under an option or joint venture agreement and the payments for it are made at the sole discretion of the Company, the property acquired is recorded upon payment.

 

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as ‘mine under construction’. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

 

When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to profit or loss. The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment at least annually and when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

 

Decommissioning obligations

 

An obligation to incur decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs occurs when environmental disturbance is caused by exploration, evaluation, development or ongoing production. Decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs arising from the installation of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided when the obligation to incur such costs arises and are capitalized into the cost of the related asset. These costs are charged against operations through depreciation of the asset and unwinding of the discount on the provision. Depreciation is included in operating costs while the unwinding of the discount is included as a financing cost. Changes in the measurement of a liability relating to the decommissioning or site rehabilitation of plant and other site preparation work are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset. The costs for the restoration of site damage, which arises during production, are provided at their net present values and charged against operations as extraction progresses. Changes in the measurement of a liability, which arises during production, are charged against operating profit. The discount rate used to measure the net present value of the obligations is the pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

 

For the years presented, the Company does not have any decommissioning obligations.

 

Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when present legal and constructive obligations as a result of a past event will likely lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted when the time value of money is significant. All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Leases

 

The Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all leases at the commencement date, except for those qualifying for the short-term or low-value exemptions.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet made at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. Where that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured using the effective interest method, increased by the accretion of interest and reduced by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in index or rate, a change in the Company's assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option, or a lease modification.

 

The ROU assets are initially measured at cost, comprising the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. The ROU asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Where a purchase option is reasonably certain to be exercised, the ROU asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.

 

Government grants

 

The Company recognizes government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received.

 

Government grants related to income are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. Such grants are presented as a deduction from the related expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

 

Government grants related to the acquisition or construction of assets are recorded as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related asset. The grant is recognized in profit or loss over the life of the depreciable asset as a reduced depreciation expense. This reflects the matching of the grant benefit with the cost of the asset over time.

 

If a government grant becomes repayable, it is accounted for as a change in estimate and recognized as a liability in the period in which the repayment obligation arises.

 

Bridge Loan

 

The Company recognizes advances received that include a contractual obligation to repay cash (with interest) contingent on future events as financial liabilities (“bridge loans”) in accordance with IFRS 9 and IAS 32.

 

Such liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized in profit or loss.

Where denominated in a foreign currency, the liability is retranslated at each reporting date, with foreign exchange differences recognized in profit or loss.

 

If the obligation is subsequently settled through the provision of goods or services, the financial liability is derecognized and reclassified as a contract liability, with any resulting difference recognized in profit or loss.

 

Accounting pronouncements adopted in the year

 

The Company did not adopt any new or amended IFRS Accounting Standards during the year that had a material effect on the disclosures or amounts recognized in these financial statements.

 

Pending accounting pronouncements

 

The below amendment to IFRS Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB is to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

 

IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements.

 

In April 2024, IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replacing IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements as the primary source of requirements in IFRS Accounting Standards for financial statement presentation.

 

This standard introduces: 

- three defined categories for income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) and requiring companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit; 

- enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures requiring companies to disclose explanations of those company-specific measures related to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss; and 

- enhanced guidance on how information is aggregated in the financial statements, including guidance on whether information is included in the financial statements or is included in the notes.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied retrospectively for comparative periods. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

 

5.Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash held at the bank of $10,690,457 (2025 - $473,550) and investments in guaranteed investment certificates (“GIC”) of $9,500,000 (2025 - $1,400,000) which comprises of one-year cashable term GICs earning interest of 2.45% to 2.95% per annum.

 

Restricted cash is comprised of a $40,000 investment in a GIC (2025 - $35,000). The GIC is a one-year cashable term with a maturity date of August 25, 2026, earning interest at 2.50% per annum. The GIC is held as collateral for credit cards issued to officers of the Company.

The LOI contemplates a minimum of 200,000 tonnes per year (with an option to increase by 20%) starting around January 1, 2029, subject to project completion. The arrangement includes a potential customer prepayment of up to €3,100,000, recoverable through purchase rebates totaling €6,200,000 over the first four years. The LOI expires on December 16, 2029, unless extended.

 

On January 5, 2026, the Company and the customer entered into an amendment to the LOI pursuant to which the customer made a prepayment of €450,000 (CA$725,580) to the Company, recognized as a bridge loan. The loan bears interest at 6% per annum and is repayable in cash if the Company does not proceed to production upon expiry of the LOI on December 16, 2029. The bridge loan has been recognized at the present value of the contingent repayment obligation, discounted at a rate of 6% over the term of 3.82 years.

The financing expenses relate to the amortization of the value of warrants granted by the Company to officers and directors pursuant to the Credit Facility (see note 9).

 

There are no amounts owed to related parties as of February 28, 2026 and 2025.

 

17. Financial Instruments

 

 

Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that result in promises to pay or receive cash or equity instruments. The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: cash and cash equivalents, and investments at FVTPL and restricted cash and accounts payable at amortized cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value by levels within the fair value hierarchy:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
   $   $   $   $ 
Cash and cash equivalents                    
As of February 28, 2026   20,190,457            20,190,457 
As of February 28, 2025   1,873,550            1,873,550 
Investments                    
As of February 28, 2026           169,960    169,960 
As of February 28, 2025           168,174    168,174 

 

The investments in Level 3 include the investment in privately held companies that are not quoted on an exchange. Management believes that the price of the shares in the investee’s most recent private placement approximates the fair value.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2026 and 2025

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

 

 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:

 

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. The Company is exposed to a significant credit risk as its maximum exposure relates to cash and restricted cash totaling $20,230,457. The Company mitigates the credit risk of cash by depositing with only reputable financial institutions. The Company also assesses the credit quality of counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

 

The Company as of February 28, 2026, has $20,190,457 in cash and cash equivalents and $40,000 in restricted cash and $3,709,193 in financial liabilities, consist of $2,883,651 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $99,329 in lease liabilities, and $726,213 in bridge loans, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure to liquidity risk.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial liabilities as at February 28, 2026:

 

Financial liabilities 

Due ≤ 1

year

$

  

Due 2–5

years

$

  

Total carrying amount

Accounts payable and accrued   2,883,651        2,883,651

Bridge loan (note 13)       726,213    726,213 
Total   2,922,529    786,664    3,709,193 

 

Market risk 

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. The Company is not exposed to material market risk.

 

(a)Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

 

The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a change in the interest rate is low, as the Company has no investments or liabilities with variable interest rates.

(b)Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As of February 28, 2026, a portion of the Company’s financial assets, comprising long-term investments, are held in Great British Pound (“GBP”). 1% change in the exchange rate would result in a change of net loss or gain by $1,700. In addition, a portion of the Company’s financial liabilities, comprising bridge loans, are held in Euro (“EUR”). 1% change in the exchange rate would result in a change of net loss or gain by $7,263. The impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is not significant and, accordingly, a sensitivity analysis has not been provided.

 

(c)Price risk

Price risk is related to equity and commodity price risks. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. As the Company holds no significant equity or commodity related investments or assets, the Company has minimal exposure to price risk.

 

18. Capital Risk Management

 

 

The Company considers its capital to be comprised of shareholders’ equity.

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares. Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of capital stock, it is uncertain whether it will continue this method of financing due to the current difficult market conditions.

 

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.

 

Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis to ensure that the above objectives are met. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the years ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

19. Income Taxes

 

 

A reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes is as follows:

 

   2026   2025 
   $   $ 
Loss for the year   (23,442,719)   (7,627,414)

(c)Land Option Agreement

 

On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into a land option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the Saguenay Port Authority (the “Port”) under which the Port granted the Company an exclusive option to enter into a definitive long-term industrial lease for two parcels of land owned by the Port within the Saguenay Industrial and Port Zone (the “Phase 1 Site” and the “Phase 2 Site”). The option is intended to secure the land required for the Company’s planned purified phosphoric acid plant.

 

The Option Agreement is valid from the date of signature until December 31, 2027, subject to extension by mutual written agreement for additional periods of three months. Option fees in respect of the Phase 1 Site are payable as follows: (i) from signature to December 31, 2025, $nil; (ii) for the 2026 calendar year, the fee is CAD $0.50 per m² per year, subject o annual indexation and payable quarterly in advance; and (iii) for the 2027 calendar year, the fee is CAD $1.00 per m² per year, subject to annual indexation and payable quarterly in advance.

The option fee for the Phase 2 Site is free of charge until the Company exercises its option or right of first refusal over that site, at which point it becomes payable at the rate then in force.

 

The Company’s ability to maintain the option beyond June 30, 2026 was conditional on demonstrating to the Port that US $15 million of financing dedicated to the project had been secured. Subsequent to February 28, 2026, the Company has secured adequate financing to satisfy this condition. The Company’s ability to maintain the option beyond December 31, 2026 remains conditional upon demonstrating that total financing of US $37 million has been secured and that the licensing, feasibility and authorization milestones set out in the agreement have been completed or are in progress. No later than September 1, 2027, the Company must notify the Port whether it is exercising the option to negotiate a long-term lease, to be entered into no later than January 1, 2028. Option fees paid are non-refundable and do not constitute rent or an advance on rent.
