| 2. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(a) Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been condensed with certain disclosures from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. Theses unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 with the exception of the adoption of certain amendments noted in note 2(b) below.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated August 12, 2024.
(b) Adoption of New Accounting Standards, Interpretation or Amendments
The Company adopted the following new standards or amendments to IFRS as at April 1, 2024. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)
The amendments to IAS 1, clarifies the presentation of liabilities. The classification of liabilities as current or concurrent is based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)
The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application. The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Supplier Financing Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7)
The amendments require disclosure requirements regarding the effects of supplier finance arrangement on their liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Entities are required to disclose the followings:
| ● | The terms and conditions; |

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Unaudited - Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated) |
| ● | The amount of the liabilities that are part of the arrangements, breaking out the amounts for which the suppliers have already received payment from the finance providers, and stating where the liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet; |
| ● | Ranges of payment due dates; and |
| ● | Liquidity risk information. |
The amendments were applied effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(c) New Accounting Standards Issued but not effective
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been issued that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1)
In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements.
Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)
The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment.
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
The amendments contain guidance to derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as classification of financial assets for:
| ● | Contractual terms that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement; |
| ● | Assets with non-recourse features; |
| ● | Contractually linked instruments. |
Also, additional disclosures relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.
(d) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control up to the date of the disposition of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the subsidiary, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
For non-wholly owned subsidiaries over which the Company has control, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Net income for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary. Adjustments to recognize the non-controlling interests’ share of changes to the subsidiary’s equity are made even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interests’ relative interests in the subsidiary and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest and the Company’s share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to equity holders of the Company.

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”).
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value level on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 that are not otherwise disclosed. As required by IFRS 13, the assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial assets classified within Level 3 are equity investments in private companies and one public company which are suspended from quotation owned by the Company. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the financial assets, which includes recent arm’s length transactions of the investee, the investee’s financial performance as well as any changes in planned milestones of the investees.
Fair value of the other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after considering cash flows from operations and our holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and the functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese yuan (“RMB”). The functional currency of New Infini and its subsidiaries is the US dollar (“USD”). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currencies.
The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The sensitivity of the Company’s net income due to the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar as at June 30, 2024 is summarized as follows:
| | Cash and cash equivalents | | | Short-term investments | | | Other investments | | | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | Net financial assets exposure | | | Effect of +/- 10% change in currency | |
US dollar | | $ | 96,781 | | | $ | 1,331 | | | $ | 2,569 | | | $ | (1,043 | ) | | $ | 99,638 | | | $ | 9,964 | |
Australian dollar | | | 308 | | | | — | | | | 2,983 | | | | — | | | | 3,291 | | | | 329 | |

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash equivalents and short-term investments. As at June 30, 2024, all of its interest-bearing cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates with terms of less than one year. The Company monitors its exposure to changes in interest rates on cash equivalents and short-term investments. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s net income.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to accounts receivable, due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.
The Company undertakes credit evaluations on counterparties as necessary, requests deposits from customers prior to delivery, and has monitoring processes intended to mitigate credit risks. There were no material amounts in trade or other receivables which were past due on June 30, 2024 (March 31, 2024 - $nil).
The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on financial markets. As the Company’s marketable securities holdings are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on

commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio as at June 30, 2024, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency effects, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to the net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of $3.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
