Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
1) Nature of operations
Largo Inc. ("the Company") is a producer and supplier of high-quality vanadium products, which are sourced from one of the world's highest-grade vanadium deposits at the Company's Maracás Menchen Mine located in Brazil. The Company is also focused on the advancement of renewable energy storage solutions through Largo Clean Energy and its vanadium redox flow battery technology. The Company is in the process of vertically integrating its vanadium production operations with its vanadium redox flow battery technology. While the Company's Maracás Menchen Mine has reached commercial production, future changes in market conditions and feasibility estimates could result in the Company's mineral resources not being economically recoverable.
On November 8, 2021, the Company changed its legal name from Largo Resources Ltd. to Largo Inc.
The Company is a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and domiciled in Canada whose shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 55 University Avenue, Suite 1105, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2H7.
2) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 9, 2022.
3) Basis of preparation, significant accounting policies, and future accounting changes
The basis of presentation, and accounting policies and methods of their application in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, are consistent with those used in the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with those statements.
In addition to the Company's subsidiaries disclosed in note 3 of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, at June 30, 2022 the Company owned 50% of Largo Physical Vanadium Corp. and accounted for it as a consolidated subsidiary.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. References to the symbol "C$" or "CAD" mean the Canadian dollar, references to the symbol "EUR" mean the Euro and references to the symbol "R$" or "BRL" mean the Brazilian real, the official currency of Brazil.
a) Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties
The preparation of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the Company's management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions are disclosed in note 3(d) of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes to the areas of estimation and judgment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

16) Commitments and contingencies
At June 30, 2022, the Company was party to certain management and consulting contracts. Minimum commitments under the agreements are approximately $2,725 and all payable within one year. These contracts also require that additional payments of up to approximately $4,087 be made upon the occurrence of certain events such as change of control. As the triggering event has not occurred, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
In 2021, the Company signed a 10-year exclusive off-take agreement with a third party for the purchase of all standard and high purity grade vanadium products they produce. The annual quantity to be delivered to the Company in 2022 is 220 tonnes of V2O5, with the Company having a right of first refusal over additional amounts.
The Company's Largo Clean Energy business is required to pay a royalty of 7.5% of the net sales price of each VRFB which contains a manufactured licensed product or uses or transfers a licensed product on or after January 1, 2022. Refer to note 7 for details of the royalties payable at the Maracás Menchen Mine.
The Company is committed to a minimum amount of rental payments under five leases of office space which expire between December 31, 2022 and May 1, 2027. Minimum rental commitments remaining under the leases are approximately $551, including $276 due within one year.
At the Company's Maracás Menchen Mine and at Largo Clean Energy, the Company has entered into purchase order contracts with remaining amounts due related to goods not received or services not rendered as of June 30, 2022 of $12,096.
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings regarding labour matters. A provision was recorded at December 31, 2021 for such proceedings in Brazil in an amount of R$469 ($84). At June 30, 2022, the provision recognized was R$542 ($103). The outcome of these proceedings remains dependent on the final judgment. Management does not expect the outcome of any of the remaining proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on the results of the Company's financial position or results of operations. Should any losses result from the resolution of these claims and disputes, they will be charged to operations in the period that they are determined.

17) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:
| | | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
| Cash | $ | 52,878 | | $ | 83,790 | |
| Restricted cash | | 23,410 | | | 448 | |
| Trade and other receivables | | 32,003 | | | 22,172 | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (including non-current) | | 31,617 | | | 19,723 | |
| Subscription receipts | | 7,933 | | | - | |
| Lease liability (including non-current) | | 2,307 | | | 2,550 | |
| Debt | | 15,000 | | | 15,000 | |
Refer to the liquidity risk discussion below regarding liabilities.
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from the previous year.
a) Fair value
IFRS requires that the Company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are made based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
The fair value hierarchy categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as those derived from prices.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The carrying amounts for cash, restricted cash, trade receivables and amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and debt in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair values because of the limited term of these instruments.
There have been no changes in the classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy since December 31, 2021. The Company does not have any financial instruments measured using Level 3 inputs. The Company does not offset financial assets with financial liabilities and there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 input financial instruments.

b) Credit risk
The Company's maximum amount of credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, restricted cash and amounts receivable.
The Company minimizes its credit risk with respect to cash by placing its funds on deposit with the highest rated banks in Canada, Ireland, the U.S. and Brazil. Financial instruments included in amounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from unrelated companies. Sales to customers outside of Brazil are protected either by the Company's credit insurance policies, which establishes credit limits for each customer, or by the Company requiring letters of credit or up-front payment prior to delivery occurring.
Of the total trade receivables balance of $31,940, $13,905 relates to customers in Brazil, which are not covered by the Company's credit insurance policies. The ratings for these companies range from B- to AAA. The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based on risk characteristics and due dates. At June 30, 2022, no amounts are past due and in the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has not experienced any credit losses. At June 30, 2022, the loss allowance for trade receivables was determined to be $58 (December 31, 2021 - $58), with any movement recognized as a component of finance costs (note 19). There have been no write offs of trade receivables.
c) Liquidity risk
The following table details the Company's expected remaining contractual cash flow requirements at June 30, 2022 for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods.
| | | Less than | | | 6 months | | | | | | | |
| | | 6 months | | | to 1 year | | | 1 to 3 years | | | Over 3 years | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (note 8) | $ | 31,424 | | $ | - | | $ | 193 | | $ | - | |
| Subscription receipts (note 15) | | 7,933 | | | - | | | - | | | - | |
| Debt (note 9) | | - | | | 15,000 | | | - | | | - | |
| Total | $ | 39,357 | | $ | 15,000 | | $ | 193 | | $ | - | |
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows from operating activities and cash of $52,878 (December 31, 2021 - $83,790).
d) Market risk
Interest rate risk
The Company's interest rate exposure is limited to that portion of its debt that is subject to floating interest rates. At June 30, 2022, the Company had no debt that is subject to floating interest rates and does not have any exposure to floating interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
At June 30, 2022, the Company's outstanding debt is 100% denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2021
- 100% U.S. dollar denominated).
The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency on cash and restricted cash balances and debt relates primarily to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real and the Euro. At June 30, 2022, the Company's U.S. dollar functional currency entities had cash denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and Swiss francs and the Company's Brazilian real functional currency entities had cash and debt denominated in U.S. dollars.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
A 5% change in the value of the Canadian dollar, the Euro and the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar would affect the value of these cash balances at June 30, 2022 by approximately $1,292. A 5% change in the value of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar would affect the value of Brazilian real cash balances by approximately $238.
Price risk
The Company does not have any financial instruments with significant exposure to price risk.
