1. Corporate information

LSC Lithium Corporation, formerly Oakham Capital Corp., (the “Company” or “LSC”) through its subsidiary companies, including LSC Lithium Subco Inc. (“LSC Lithium”) and Lithium S Corporation (“Lithium S”), is principally engaged in acquiring exploration interests in various lithium brine properties in Argentina. LSC’s registered office is 666 Burrard Street, Suite 1700, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2X8.

LSC Lithium acquired Lithium S on September 8, 2016 pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement (defined below) and LSC acquired LSC Lithium on February 22, 2017 pursuant to the Amalgamation (defined below).

LSC was incorporated on October 30, 2009 as 0865144 BC Ltd. and changed its name on February 2, 2010 to Oakham Capital Corp (“Oakham”) and changed its name again on February 16, 2017 to LSC Lithium Corporation. LSC Lithium was incorporated as Direct Lithium Inc. pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on September 1, 2016, changing its name to LSC Lithium Inc. on September 7, 2016. On February 22, 2017, LSC Lithium Inc. amalgamated with 1093470 B.C. Limited to form LSC Lithium Subco Inc., and continued as one corporation pursuant to the Amalgamation (defined below).

Lithium S was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as E-Can Petroleum Limited on December 5, 2013, changing its name to Rinstar Ventures Limited on October 15, 2015. Rinstar Ventures Limited subsequently changed its name again on April 25, 2016 to Lithium S Corporation which is the date it commenced its activities. Prior to this date, the Lithium S Corporation was inactive. On September 8, 2016, LSC Lithium entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“SEA”) with the shareholders of Lithium S, whereby LSC Lithium acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lithium S, being 24,939,493 shares, in consideration for shares of LSC Lithium on a 1 for 1 basis. Upon closing of the transaction, the former shareholders of Lithium S owned 100% of the shares of LSC Lithium. LSC Lithium and Lithium S had the same controlling parties before and after the transaction and accordingly was a related party transaction. For accounting purposes for the SEA, Lithium S is considered the acquirer and LSC the acquiree. On February 22, 2017, LSC acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of LSC Lithium by way of a “three-cornered amalgamation” pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Amalgamation”) whereby LSC Lithium amalgamated with 1093470 B.C. Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, (i) each outstanding LSC Lithium common share was exchanged for LSC common shares on a one-for-one basis, and (ii) each outstanding LSC Lithium warrant was exchanged for LSC warrants on a one-for-one basis on the same terms and conditions as contained in the LSC Lithium warrants. Prior to the Amalgamation, the Company filed articles of amendment to effect the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of 1 new share for every 6.5 outstanding shares. As the former shareholders of LSC Lithium acquired control of LSC, the Amalgamation is accounted for as though LSC Lithium is the acquirer and LSC is the acquiree. Accordingly, the results of LSC will only be reflected in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the Amalgamation. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of LSC include the results of operations of Lithium S from the date of incorporation and LSC Lithium from September 8, 2016 (the date of the acquisition by Lithium S). They do not include the results of operations of LSC as the Amalgamation was completed subsequent to the date of the financial statements of November 30, 2016. These financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of Lithium S and LSC Lithium.

2. Basis of preparation and continuation of business

Statement of compliance with IFRS

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) following the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2016. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of LSC Lithium for the year ended August 31, 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended November 30, 2016 have been prepared by management, and approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on March 6, 2017.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are presented at fair value. The Company reported a net loss of $2,474,227 for the three months ended November 30,2016 (three months ended November 30, 2015: Nil) LSC Lithium’s ability to continue operations in the normal course of business is dependent on several factors, including its ability to secure additional funding. In addition to a financing that was closed on December 7 and December 12, 2016 for $5,500,000 (Note 15) and the entering into of an agency agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. and NewGen Asset Management Limited, as agents, to raise up to C$40 million, management is exploring all available options to secure additional funding, including equity financing and strategic partnerships. There exists an uncertainty as to LSC Lithium’s ability to raise additional funds on favourable terms.

In addition, the recoverability of the amount shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of LSC Lithium to obtain financing to continue to perform exploration activity or complete the development of the properties where necessary, or alternatively, upon LSC Lithium’s ability to recover its incurred costs through a disposition of its interests, all of which are uncertain. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt as to the ability of LSC Lithium to continue operations into the foreseeable future as a going concern and, accordingly, the ultimate appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any additional adjustments to the recoverability and classification of certain recorded asset amounts, classification of certain liabilities and changes to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss that might be necessary if LSC Lithium was unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by LSC Lithium. Control exists when LSC Lithium has power over an entity, exposure or rights to variable returns from LSC Lithium’s involvement with the entity, and the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of LSC Lithium’s returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of LSC Lithium from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSC Lithium and its subsidiaries (Note 11). Inter-company balances, transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. For presentation purposes the assets and liabilities of LSC Lithium are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period in which the transaction arose.

2. Basis of preparation and continuation of business (continued)

New/Revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS)

At the reporting date of these consolidated financial statements, the following standard, interpretation and amendment, which have not been applied in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective:

Amendments to IAS 12

Amends IAS 12 Income Taxes are amended to clarify the following aspects:

• Unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use;

• The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits;

• Estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences; and

• An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilisation of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.

This amendment is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7)

Amends IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows to improve information provided to users of financial statements about an entity’s financial activities by making the following changes:

The following changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are disclosed (to the extent

necessary): (i) changes from financing cash flows; (ii) changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (iii) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (iv) changes in fair values; and (v) other changes;

The IASB defines liabilities arising from financing activities as liabilities "for which cash flows were, or future cash flows will be, classified in the statement of cash flows as cash flows from financing activities". It also stresses that the new disclosure requirements also relate to changes in financial assets if they meet the same definition; and changes in liabilities arising from financing activities must be disclosed separately from changes in other assets and liabilities.

This amendment is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued by the IASB in May 2014 and specifies how and when revenue should be recognized based on a five-step model, which is applied to all contracts with customers. On April 12, 2016, the IASB published final clarifications to IFRS 15 with respect to identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, and licensing. IFRS 15 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.

2. Basis of preparation and continuation of business (continued) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9")

IFRS 9 was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in November 2009 and October 2010 and will replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9, fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held-for-trading are measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard. The effective date of IFRS 9 is January 1, 2018.

New/Revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) (continued)

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 was issued by the IASB in January 2016 and specifies the requirements to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.

The Company is assessing the impact of the new or revised IFRS standards in issue but not yet effective on its financial position and financial performance.

5. Exploration and evaluation assets (continued) Jama

On October 27, 2016, pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Jama Agreement”) between Lithium H (as purchaser) and Miguel Jorge Mitre (“Mitre”) and Maria Laura Alonzo (as sellers), Lithium H acquired 51% of the issued shares in Cuper S.A. (“Cuper”) for a purchase price of US$3,250,000. In connection with such agreement, Lithium H and Mitre entered into a shareholders’ agreement respecting Cuper, and Lithium S Corporation S.A. entered into an operating agreement with Cuper. Pursuant to the Jama Agreement, Lithium H agreed to incur expenditures of US$9 million on Salar Jama prior to the third anniversary of the date upon which Cuper has obtained all necessary concessions and permits to permit it to conduct exploration and development activities on Salar Jama (the “Earn–in Period”). In the event that such expenditures are not incurred prior to such deadline and Lithium H does not pay to Cuper the amount of un-incurred expenditures, the shareholding interest of Lithium H will be reduced on the basis of one percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Cuper for each US$240,196 shortfall. Pursuant to the shareholders agreement, following completion of these expenditures, each of Mitre and Lithium H will be required to fund all exploration, development and other expenditures of Cuper on a proportionate basis based on their respective shareholdings from time to time. In the event that either shareholder fails to fund any expenditures, its shareholding interest in Cuper will be diluted on a straight-line basis. Lithium H has appointed Lithium S Corporation S.A. as operator of all exploration and development programs on Salar Jama during the Earn-in Period and thereafter it will remain the operator unless a shareholder holding more than a 50% shareholding interest exercises its right to become or appoint the operator. Lithium H has committed to pay $100,000 as a finder’s fee which has been included in the costs of acquisition.

A financial liability is recorded as the exercise price of the warrants is in a currency that is different from the functional currency of LSC Lithium.

9. Financial instruments

LSC Lithium uses financial instruments comprising cash, and debtors/creditors that arise from its operations. LSC Lithium holds cash as a liquid resource to fund its obligations. LSC Lithium’s cash balances are held in US Dollars.

LSC Lithium carefully considers on an ongoing basis the credit ratings of banks in which it holds funds in order to reduce exposure to credit risk.

To date, LSC Lithium has relied upon equity funding to finance operations. The Board of Directors is confident that adequate cash resources can be raised to finance operations to commercial exploitation and controls exist over expenditures to carefully manage LSC Lithium’s cash.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying values disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The financial assets comprise US Dollar cash balances in current and interest earning bank accounts at call, and proceeds from private placement held in trust, subscription receipts, and funds held in trust for acquisition of exploration assets. The financial assets earn a range of interest rates throughout the period depending on rates available and ongoing cash commitments at any one point in time.

10. Financial risk management objectives and policies

(a) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The consolidated statement of financial position carrying amounts for cash, exploration advance, and other payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Fair value hierarchy

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

• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table provides information about financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position and categorized by level according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

- - - -

(b) Risk management policies

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

(c) Foreign currency risk

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

At the statement of financial position date LSC Lithium held no assets in foreign currencies and therefore a 10% adverse movement of the US Dollars against foreign currencies as identified would have had no impact on LSC Lithium’s net loss. A 10% weakening of the US Dollar against the same foreign currencies would also have had no impact.

10. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

(d) Credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to credit risk for LSC Lithium, consist primarily of cash and prepayment. Cash is maintained with a financial institution of reputable credit and may be redeemed upon demand. Cash is held in Bermuda.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that LSC Lithium will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. LSC Lithium attempts to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they are due and manages this risk by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital commitments in a cost-effective manner. Temporary surplus funds of LSC Lithium are invested in cash accounts.

(f) Mineral property risk

The Group has entered several definitive agreements regarding the acquisition of interests in material mining projects. The Group is conducting due diligence on prospective properties to the extent practical, prior to acquiring an interest therein, following which the Group may decide not complete the acquisition. Even if the Group conducts such due diligence and invests in such prospective properties, there is no guarantee that they will not have title, environmental or other issues which could materially and adversely impact the Group’s business and operations.

(g) Foreign operations risk

At present, LSC Lithium is focused on acquiring and exploring lithium interests in Argentina, in relation to which it may or may not be the operator. LSC Lithium’s operations will be exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in foreign jurisdictions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates currency controls, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, war, terrorism, crime, extreme weather conditions, famine, drought, illegal mining, corruption and uncertainty of the rule of law, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange, changing political conditions, and governmental regulations that may require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitudes in Argentina or any other jurisdiction in which LSC Lithium invests may adversely affect the operations or profitability of LSC Lithium. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations including with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, import or export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements. The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations and profitability of LSC Lithium.

Further it is the case that the legal system in Argentina or such other foreign jurisdiction may not be as developed or may be complex and time-consuming, which leads to a higher level of uncertainty in the application and determination of legal issues, which can lead to regulatory delays, ill-motivated use of courts or regulatory bodies and inconsistency in interpretation and enforcement of applicable laws. Such risks are part of overall risks of doing business in a foreign jurisdiction and should be taken into account by any potential investor.

10. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

(h) Commercially viable economic deposits

LSC Lithium is an exploration-stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists in relation to any of its properties or any property in which it may acquire an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a commercially viable reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration and development work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If LSC Lithium fails to find a commercially viable deposit in relation to any of its proposed investments, its financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
