GoldRoyalty Corp.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
| 1. | Corporate Information |
|---|
Gold Royalty Corp. (“GRC” or “the Company”) is a company incorporated in Canada on June 23, 2020 and domiciled in Canada. GRC is principally engaged in acquiring gold-focused royalty and mineral stream interests. 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 was a subsidiary of GoldMining Inc. (“GoldMining”) until the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on March 11, 2021. The Company’s common share and common share purchase warrants are listed on the NYSE American under the symbols “GROY” and “GROY.WS”, respectively.
| 2. | Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies |
|---|
2.1 Statementof compliance
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 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 Company’s financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation on June 23, 2020 to September 30, 2020.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) on May 13, 2021.
2.2 Basisof presentation
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”, “$” or “dollar”). All values are rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.
On March 11, 2021, GRC, the parent entity, changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. The change in functional currency resulted from the growing proportion of expenses paid in U.S. dollars and the receipt of the cash proceeds of $88 million in U.S. dollars upon the completion of the IPO on March 11, 2021.
The effect of the change in functional currency is accounted for prospectively with no impact on prior period information. The Company translates all items into the new functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the change. The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost. Exchange differences arising from translation previously recognized in other comprehensive income are not reclassified from equity to profit or loss until the disposal of the operation.
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 financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
2.3 Basisof consolidation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Gold Royalty Corp. and Gold Royalty U.S. 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.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
| 2. | Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
|---|
2.3 Basisof consolidation (continued)
All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process.
The accounts of Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The functional currency of Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. is the United States dollar. For the period prior to the change in functional currency the results of, GRC, the parent entity were translated from Canadian dollars using period end exchange rate as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to income and expenses. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
2.4 Newsignificant accounting policies
Share-basedpayments
RestrictedShares
The fair value of the restricted shares is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the restricted shares vest. When restricted shares are conditional upon the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates the length of the expected vesting period at the grant date, based on the most likely outcome of the performance condition. The fair value of the restricted shares is determined based on the fair value of the common shares on the grant date, adjusted for minority shareholder discount, liquidity discount and other applicable factors that are generally recognized by market participants.
The fair value of restricted shares is recognized as an expense over the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of restricted shares expected to vest; that estimate will be revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of restricted shares expected to vest differs from previous estimates.
ShareOptions
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of share options. The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes, provides services that could be provided by a direct employee, or has authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, including non-executive directors. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. Consideration received on the exercise of share options is recorded as issued capital and the related share-based compensation reserve is transferred to issued capital.

5.1 InitialPublic Offering
On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (collectively the “Underwriters”) for an offering of 18,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $5.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant, and each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share at a price of $7.50 per share until March 11, 2024.
The Company granted the Underwriters the over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 2,700,000 common shares and/or 1,350,000 common share purchase warrants at $4.995 per common share and $0.01 per common share purchase warrant, respectively. The Company agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for certain fees and disbursements.
On March 11, 2021, the Company issued 18,000,000 Units at a price of $5.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $90,000,000. Further, the Underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option to purchase 721,347 additional common shares for gross proceeds of $3,603,128 and 1,350,000 additional common share purchase warrants for gross proceeds of $13,500. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred securities issuance costs of $5,570,844, of which $5,081,064 represented cash fees paid to the Underwriters.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated to the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on a relative fair value basis. Inputs used to calculate the relative fair value of the common shares and common share purchase warrants are based on the quoted closing prices of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on the first day of trading on the NYSE American. The fair value of common shares and common share purchase warrants issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option equals to the net proceeds received by the Company. The allocation of the fair value of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants is as follows:

5.2 CommonShares
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in series without par value.
The Company issued one common share for consideration of $1.00 upon incorporation on June 23, 2020. On October 16, 2020, GoldMining, the Company’s former parent, subscribed for 5,000,000 common shares of the Company for cash of $50,000 and surrendered one common share issued by the Company upon incorporation for no consideration.
On December 4, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of 1,325,000 common shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) for gross proceeds of $2,848,750.
5.3 RestrictedShares
On October 19, 2020, the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted shares (the “Restricted Shares”) to certain officers and directors of the Company and GoldMining, the terms of which were subsequently amended on January 10, 2021. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to the Company without the requirement of any further consideration. The performance conditions are as follows:
| (1) | with<br> respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the Company’s<br> initial public offering or any liquidity event (being any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up<br> of the Company or distribution of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets<br> among shareholders or a change of control transaction) occurs that values the Company at<br> a minimum of $50,000,000 (condition met); |
|---|---|
| (2) | with<br> respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the Company receives<br> $1,000,000 of royalty payments under any of the Company’s royalty interests prior to<br> October 19, 2023; and |
| (3) | with<br> respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the holder continues<br> to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or an entity that is under common control<br> with the Company for a period of one year after the initial<br> public offering is completed. |
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $213,915 and $285,220, representing the fair value of the Restricted Shares vested during the respective periods.

CommonShare Purchase Warrants
During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 10,350,000 common share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The number of common share purchase warrants outstanding as at March 31, 2021 was 10,350,000 warrants at an exercise price of $7.50 per share and with weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.95 years.
ShareOptions
The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”) which provides that the Board of Directors may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant awards of restricted share units, performance share units, deferred share units and share options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the LTIP in respect of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding.
On March 7, 2021, the Company granted 2,505,000 stock options at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The share options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter. The fair value of the share options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.32%, expected life of 3 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, estimated forfeiture rate of 0% and expected volatility of 37%. As there is no trading history of the Company’s common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector the Company operates over a period similar to the expected life of the share options. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $799,182 for the share options granted. As at March 31, 2021, the number of share options outstanding was 2,505,000 at a weighted average exercise price of $5.00 per share and weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.93 years.
Pursuant to the agreement with an officer of the Company, the officer received options to purchase 25,000 common shares of GoldMining (the “GoldMining Options”) at an exercise price of C$2.88 per share.

Gold Royalty is a precious metals-focused royalty and streaming company offering creative financing solutions to the metals and mining industry. The Company’s diversified portfolio currently consists of net smelter royalties (“NSR”) ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% on 18 gold properties covering 12 projects located in the Americas.
The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3, Canada. The Company’s common share and its common share purchase warrant are listed on the NYSE American under the symbols ‘GROY” and “GROY.WS”, respectively.
BusinessStrategy
The Company’s mission is to acquire royalties, streams and similar interests at varying stages of the mine life cycle to build a balanced portfolio offering near, medium and longer-term returns for its investors. The Company does not conduct exploration, development or mining operations on the properties in which it holds interests and it is not required to contribute capital costs, exploration costs, environmental costs or other operating costs for these properties.
In addition, the Company seeks to acquire and manage additional royalties, streams and other interests on gold and other precious metals projects. In the ordinary course of business, the Company engages in a continual review of opportunities to acquire royalty, stream or similar interests, to establish new interests on mining projects, to create new royalty, stream or similar interests through the financing of mine development or exploration, or to acquire companies that hold such interests. The Company currently, and generally at any time, has acquisition opportunities in various stages of active review, including, for example, our engagement of consultants and advisors to analyze particular opportunities, our analysis of technical, financial, legal and other confidential information of particular opportunities, submission of indications of interest and term sheets, participation in preliminary discussions and negotiations and involvement as a bidder in competitive processes.

Any such limitations, restrictions and orders may have a material adverse effect upon ongoing exploration programs at such mineral properties and, ultimately, on the Company and/or GoldMining’s business and financial condition.
In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related mobility, travel and other restrictions are expected to continue to impact the Company’s ability to complete site-visits and diligence of potential royalty acquisition opportunities.

The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $565,516 was primarily attributed to accrued insurance expenses and unpaid audit and legal fees associated with the Company’s IPO. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital of $88,978,296 as compared to a working capital deficit of $142,513 as at September 30, 2020, with the increase primarily due to funds received from the IPO.
The Company has not generated any revenue from operations and the only sources of financing to date have been the prior issuance of shares, by way of private placement, and the IPO. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations and finance investment activities depends on its ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of securities pursuant to equity financings and short-term or long-term loans. The Company had no material commitments or contractual obligations as at March 31, 2021. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. The Company’s growth and future success is dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

CriticalAccounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of 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.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment include the determination of the fair value of acquired royalty interests, key assumptions underlying the recoverable amounts used in impairment testing, and estimates and assumptions used in the determination of fair value of restricted shares.
The assessment of impairment of royalty, stream 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.
The assessment of the fair values of royalty, stream and other interests requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Management uses judgment when assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, 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 stream and 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 assets. Changes in any of the estimates used in determining the fair value of the royalty, stream and other interests could impact the impairment analysis.
Changein Functional Currency
On March 11, 2021, GRC, the parent entity, changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. The change in functional currency resulted from the growing proportion of expenses paid in U.S. dollars and the receipt of the cash proceeds of $88 million in U.S. dollars upon the completion of the IPO on March 11, 2021.
The effect of the change in functional currency is accounted for prospectively with no impact on prior period information. The Company translates all items into the new functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the change. The resulting translated amounts for non-monetary items are treated as their historical cost. Exchange differences arising from translation previously recognized in other comprehensive income are not reclassified from equity to profit or loss until the disposal of the operation.

FinancialInstruments and Risk Management
FinancialInstruments
At March 31, 2021, the Company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term to maturity.
Financialrisk management objectives and policies
The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, commodity price risk and currency 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.
Creditrisk
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 with large, reputable financial institutions.
Liquidityrisk
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’s working capital as at March 31, 2021 was $88,978,296. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.
Commodityprice 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.
Currencyrisk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The currency risk on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are minimal.
SubsequentEvent
Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a service provider for the provision of advertising and digital marketing services. The total fee was paid in cash and 75,000 common shares of the Company. The common shares are subject to a hold period that will expire on August 24, 2021.
OutstandingShare Data
As at the date hereof, the Company has 41,621,347 common shares, 10,350,000 common share purchase warrants and 2,505,000 share options outstanding.
