Uranium Royalty Corp. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited, expressed in thousands of 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, investing in companies with exposure to uranium and physical uranium. The Company also engages in the purchase and sale of physical uranium from time to time. 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 1188 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A2, Canada.
The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Company's common shares and common share purchase warrants, each of which is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $2.00 per share until December 6, 2024, are listed on the TSX under the symbols "URC" and "URC.WT", respectively. The Company's common shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "UROY".
2. Basis of Preparation and Material Accounting Policies
2.1 Statement of compliance
The Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2024.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company's board of directors on December 12, 2024.
2.2 Basis of presentation
The Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars ("$" or "dollars") which is also the functional currency of URC. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2024. The Company's interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
2.3 Basis of consolidation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Uranium Royalty Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, being Uranium Royalty (USA) Corp. ("URUSA") and Reserve Minerals, LLC ("RM"). 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 URUSA and RM are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The functional currency of URUSA and RM 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. IFRS Pronouncement
3.1 Adoption of New Accounting Standards, Interpretation or Amendments
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments to IAS 1 clarifies certain requirements for determining whether a liability should be classified as current or non-current and requires new disclosures for non-current liabilities that are subject to covenants within 12 months after the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The amendment requires the classification of liabilities as current or non-current depending on the rights existing at the end of the reporting period and clarifies that management's expectations in respect of settlement do not affect classification. Liabilities are classified as noncurrent if the company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least twelve months at the end of the reporting period. 'Settlement' is defined as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other economic resources, or an entity's own equity instruments. There is an exception for convertible instruments that might be converted into equity, but only for those instruments where the conversion option is classified as an equity instrument as a separate component of a compound financial instrument. The adoption of these amendments on May 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
3.2 New Accounting Standards Issued but not effective
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The International Accounting Standards Board has issued classification and measurement and disclosure amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 which are effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with earlier application permitted. The amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities and introduce a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system. Other changes include a clarification of the requirements when assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criteria and new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (including instruments where cash flow changes are linked to environmental, social or governance targets). The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 is a new standard that will provide new presentation and disclosure requirements and which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces changes to the structure of the income statement; provides required disclosures in financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and provides enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation in financial statements. Many other existing principles in IAS 1 have been maintained. IFRS 18 is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
4. Cash and Restricted Cash
As at October 31, 2024, the Company held cash of $12,931 (April 30, 2024: $21,100). In addition, the Company held restricted cash of $110 (April 30, 2024: $110). Restricted cash held at October 31, 2024 relates to security for a corporate credit card.

Yellow Cake has also agreed to inform the Company of any opportunities for royalties, streams or similar interests identified by Yellow Cake with respect to uranium and the Company has an irrevocable option to elect to acquire up to 50% of any such opportunity alongside Yellow Cake, in which case the parties shall work together in good faith to pursue any such opportunities jointly. Furthermore, the Company and Yellow Cake have agreed to, so far as it is commercially reasonable to do so, cooperate to identify potential opportunities to work together on other uranium related joint participation endeavors. No purchases occurred under this arrangement during the three and six months ended October 31, 2024.

The Company's royalties are detailed below:
Anderson, Slick Rock and Workman Creek Projects
The Company holds a 1% net smelter return royalty for uranium on Anderson project, Slick Rock project, and Workman Creek project in the USA.
Cigar Lake, McArthur River and Dawn Lake Projects
The Company holds (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 profit interest ("NPI") royalty on a 3.75% share of overall uranium production, drawn from Orano's approximate 40.453% ownership interest in the Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake project (the "Cigar Lake Project") located in Saskatchewan, Canada, and (iii) a 10% to 20% sliding scale NPI royalty on a 7.5% share of overall uranium production from the Dawn Lake project located in Saskatchewan, Canada. The sliding scale NPI royalty on the Cigar Lake Project and the Dawn Lake project will decrease to 10% after the combined production on the Cigar Lake and Dawn Lake projects reach 200 million pounds U3O8.
The Company has elected to receive royalty proceeds from the McArthur River mine through delivery of physical uranium. As a result, the Company recorded a depletion of $157 and $289 (2023: $86 and $231) on the McArthur River royalty and an increase in inventory by the same amount during the three and six months ended October 31, 2024.

Total | | 1,469 | | | 1,789 | | | 2,849 | | | 2,173 | |
11. Financial Instruments
At October 31, 2024, the Company's financial assets include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and short-term investments. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, finance payable and lease liability. 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.
The Company's cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The fair value of short-term investments, which are classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy, 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. Finance payable and lease liability are measured at amortized cost. The fair value of the finance payable and lease liability approximate their carrying values as their interest rates are comparable to current market rates.
11.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, commodity price 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 and accounts receivable. The Company holds cash with Canadian chartered financial institutions of which the majority of its bank balances are uninsured as at October 31, 2024. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and restricted cash balance. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company monitors its financial assets and maintains its cash deposits in several Schedule I chartered banks in Canada.
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 and other liquid assets, it has sufficient working capital for its present obligations for at least the next twelve months commencing from October 31, 2024.

11. Financial Instruments (continued)
11.3 Liquidity risk (continued)
The Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) as at October 31, 2024 was $222,152. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities and finance payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.
11.4 Commodity price risk
The recoverability of the Company's physical uranium inventories is subject to changes in uranium prices. In addition, 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 Currency risk
Financial instruments that impact the Company's net income due to currency fluctuations include cash and finance payable denominated in U.S. dollars. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against U.S. dollars on cash and finance payable by 1% would have an impact of approximately $86 and $189, respectively, on net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2024.
11.6 Other price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of investing in other mining companies. 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 October 31, 2024, a 10% change in the equity prices of these investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $656 on other comprehensive income.
12. Related Party Transactions
