REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Directors of Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2021 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at July 31, 2020 were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 20, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current year audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
Going Concern
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the going concern assumption. The Company has no current source of revenue, has incurred losses from inception and is dependent upon its ability to secure new sources of financing. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Basis for Opinion (continued)
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. is a Canadian public company incorporated in British Columbia on August 3, 1982. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol QZM, and certain broker-dealers in the United States make market in the Company's common shares on the OTC Grey Market under the symbol QZMRF. The Company's corporate office is located at 1040 West Georgia Street, 14th Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company most recently focused on evaluating mineral prospects for potential acquisition and exploration in British Columbia. The Company continues to investigate potential opportunities.
These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) of the Company as at and for the year ended July 31, 2021, include Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”). Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. is the ultimate parent entity of the group.
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at July 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $27,728,302, and has a working capital of $117,847. The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon new projects, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration ofany new projects, the ability to obtain the necessary permits to explore, develop, and mine new projects, and the future profitable production of any mine. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Additional debt or equity financing will be required to fund acquisition of mineral property interests. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financial resources or achieve positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, it will need to curtail its expenditures further, until additional funds can be raised through financing activities.
These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Effective May 27, 2020, the Company completed a forward share split (the “Share Split”) on the basis of two additional common shares for every common share outstanding prior to the ShareSplit. Outstanding warrants were adjusted by the same share split ratio. All references to sharesand per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to the Share Split.
COVID-19
Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of COVID-19, including any responses to it, will be on the global economy and the business of the Company or for how long any disruptions are likely to continue. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, rapidly evolving and difficult to predict, including new information which may emerge about COVID- 19 and additional actions which may be taken to contain it.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, and exposure to credit risk.
The Company is constantly evaluating the situation and monitoring any impacts or potential impacts to its business.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied for all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective for the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 2021.
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized issuance of these Financial Statements on November 24, 2021.
(b) | Basis of presentation and consolidation |
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and the subsidiaries that it controls. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Intercompany balances and transactions including any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
At July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the Company held a 100% interest in QZMG Resources Ltd., a company that holds a 100% interest in Wavecrest Resources Inc.
(c) | Significant accounting estimates and judgments |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The impact of such estimates is pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic condition and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the subjective inputs and assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Specific areas where significant estimates or judgments exist are:
| · | Management has applied judgment on settlement of debt with related parties as to whether they were acting in the capacity as creditor or shareholder. |
| · | Assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
The functional and presentational currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”).
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in profit or loss for the year.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes party to the contracts that give rise to them. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition, and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such classification at each financial year-end. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition. The directly attributable transaction costs of a financial asset classified at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
| · | it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and, |
| · | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |

Financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses.
Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on the derecognition of the financial asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
A receivable investment is measured at FVTOCI if it meets both the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
| · | it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and, |
| · | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
On the initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
Receivable investments measured at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are measured in OCI. On de- recognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments measured at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or measured at FVTOCI, as described above, are measured at FVTPL; this includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or measured at FVTOCI as FVTPL if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(f) | Exploration and evaluation expenditures |
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expenditures incurred by the Company in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred, except for initial expenditures associated with the acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets through a business combination or an asset acquisition.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the cash consideration and the estimated fair market value of common shares on the date of issue or as otherwise provided under the relevant agreements for exploration costs.
Administrative expenditures related to exploration activities are expensed in the period incurred.
Mineral property interests
Expenditures incurred by the Company in connection with a mineral property after the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable are capitalized. Such amounts are then amortized over the estimated life of the property following the commencement of commercial production, or are written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse, or abandoned, or when impairment has been determined to have occurred.
Mineral property interests, if any, are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Mineral property interests attributable to an area of interest are tested for impairment and then reclassified to mineral property and development assets within property, plant, and equipment once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of mineral property interests is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, a sale of the respective areas of interest.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
(g) | Impairment of non-financial assets |
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the greater of (i) fair value less costs to sell, and (ii) value in use. Fair value is estimated as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current assessments of the Company's cost of capital and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash- generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Common shares of the Company are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares and share purchase options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
When the Company issues common shares for consideration other than cash, the transaction is measured at fair value based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of issuance.
The Company will from time-to-time issue flow-through common shares, pursuant to which it transfers the tax deductibility of the related resource expenditures to shareholders. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the proceeds received into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes this liability and recognizes this premium as other income, offsetting any expense associated with the Company’s expenditure of the flow-through proceeds.
Loss per share is computed by dividing the losses attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the losses attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, such as options granted to employees. The dilutive effect of options assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of share purchase options are applied to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the reporting period.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Share purchase options are included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share only to the extent that the market price of the common shares exceeds the exercise price of the share purchase options. For fiscal 2019, there were no dilutive instruments. For fiscal 2020, the dilutive effect of outstanding warrants are reflected in the diluted earnings per share.
Share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date is charged to operations over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. The Company revises the estimate on each reporting date and the effect of the change is recognized in profit or loss.
Share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
(k) | Rehabilitation provision |
An obligation to incur rehabilitation and site restoration costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development, or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for, and capitalized, at the start of each project, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. These costs are charged against earnings over the life of the operation.
The Company has no known rehabilitation and site restoration costs.
Income tax on the profit or loss for the years presented comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is calculated by providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The following temporary differences are not provided for:
| · | goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; |
| · | the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and, |
| · | differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. |
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(m) | Changes in accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements |
The Company has adopted the following revised or new IFRS accounting standards that were issued and effective August 1, 2019:
| · | IFRS 16, Leases |
| · | IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments |
These new standards do not have material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

(the “Vendor”), the Company acquired a 100% interest innine mineral claims located near Houston, British Columbia (the “Property”). Under the terms ofthe Agreement, the Company made $105,000 in cash payments and issued 1,000,000 shares to the Vendor, having a fair value of $210,000, which are subject to a 4 month resale restricted period.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The Property is subject to a pre-existing 2.5% net smelter returns (NSR) held by an unrelated arm’s length third party, of which 1.5% can be purchased for $1.5 million. This NSR is subject to an annual advance payment of $25,000 (paid).
The Company retained a 1% NSR royalty (the “Royalty”) payable to the Company on any production from the Angel's Camp property located in Lake County, Oregon. The royalty was recorded at a nominal amount of $1.00. On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of 100% of the Royalty on the Angel’s Camp Property, for US$150,000 to an arms-length purchaser. This transaction was closed on February 4, 2021.
Selling costs associated with the transaction include $12,756 (US$10,000) paid to an arms-length party and $2,500 paid to the Chief Financial Officer.
(a) | Authorized share capital |
At July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the authorized share capital of the Company comprised an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value.

Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant (the “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share at a price of $0.05 (pre-forward split basis of $0.15) for five years. In addition, at the request of the holder, and subject to certain conditions being met at the time of exercise of the Warrant, the shares to be issued may be designated as ‘flow through shares’. After issuance costs of $1,302, the Company raised net proceeds of $498,698.
On May 27, 2020, the Company completed the Share Split on the basis of two additional common shares for every common share outstanding prior to the Share Split.

Hunter Dickinson Inc. (“HDI”)
Hunter Dickinson Inc. (“HDI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary HDSI are private companies established by a group of mining professionals. HDSI provides services under contracts for a number of mineral exploration and development companies, and also to companies that are outsideof the mining and mineral development space. The Company acquires services from a number of related and arms-length contractors, and it is at the Company’s discretion that HDSI provides certain contract services.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman, Chief Financial Officer, and Corporate Secretary are employees of HDSI and work for the Company under an employee secondment arrangement between the Company and HDSI.
Pursuant to an agreement dated June 1, 2008, HDSI provides certain technical, geological, corporate communications, regulatory compliance, and administrative and management services to the Company, on a non-exclusive basis as needed and as requested by the Company. As a result of this relationship, the Company has ready access to a range of diverse and specialized expertise on a regular basis, without having to engage or hire full-time employees or experts.
The Company is not obligated to acquire any minimum amount of services from HDSI. The monetary amount of the services received from HDSI in a given period of time is a function of annually set and agreed charge-out rates for and the time spent by each HDSI employee engaged by the Company.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of aparticular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement withinthe fair value hierarchy levels. The hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The carrying value of cash, amounts receivable, amounts payable and other liabilities, due to a related party, and loan payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. Cash is classified as fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.
11. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and amounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions in business and savings accounts. Receivables are due primarily from a government agency.
The carrying value of the Company's cash and amounts receivable represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The Company does not have sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, and accordingly is exposed to liquidity risk.
The following obligations existed at July 31, 2021:
| | Total | | | Less than 1 year | | | 1-5 years | |
Amounts payable and other liabilities | | $ | 24,243 | | | $ | 24,243 | | | $ | 0 | |

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on cash. The Company’s practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss because of a decrease in the fair value of any demand bank investment certificates included in cash as they are generally held with large financial institutions. The Company from time to time has debt instruments and is exposed to risk in the event of interest rate fluctuations. The Company has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other financial arrangements that mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company is not subject to significant market risk.
(e) | Capital management objectives |
The Company's primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to potentially provide returns for shareholders, and to have sufficient liquidity available to fund ongoing expenditures and suitable business opportunities as they arise.
The Company considers the components of shareholders' equity (deficiency) as capital. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue equity, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders as well as issue or repay debt.
The Company's investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short–term interest–bearing investments having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended July 31, 2021.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed equity requirements.

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
During fiscal 2021, administrative expenses decreased ($163,261 in fiscal 2021 versus $249,442 in fiscal 2020). The decrease was due to the management’s continuous effort in streamlining of office overhead expenses, the decrease in regulatory, trust and filing as a result of the absence of one-time event in fiscal 2020 (e.g. stock split in May 2020) and the decrease in property investigation expenses as a result of management’s identification of exploration projects to focus on.
The following table provides a breakdown of general and administrative expenses incurred during the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020:
| | Year ended July | | | Year ended July | |
| | | 31,2021 | | | | 31,2020 | |
Administrative fees | | $ | 38,382 | | | $ | 77,603 | |

Total | | $ | 163,261 | | | $ | 249,442 | |
Historically, the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. The Company is assessing mineral properties with a goal to acquire and explore mineral property interests. The Company's continuing operations entirely depends upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete any exploration and development of its projects, the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves at its projects, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary permits to explore or mine, the future profitable production of any mine and the proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.
At July 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $27,728,302 and has a working capital of $117,847.
The Company believes that its liquid assets at July 31, 2021, are sufficient to meet its known obligations. The Company is actively managing its cash reserves, and curtailing activities as necessary in order to ensure its ability to meet payments as they come due.
Additional debt or equity financing will be required to fund exploration or development programs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to obtain additional financial resources or that it will be able to achieve positive cash flows.
Financial market conditions for junior exploration companies have resulted in very depressed equity prices. A further and continued deterioration in market conditions will increase the cost of obtaining capital and significantly limit the availability of funds to the Company in the future. Accordingly, management is actively monitoring the effects of the current economic and financing conditions on the Company’s business and reviewing discretionary spending, capital projects and operating expenditures, while implementing cash management strategies.

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
There has been no change in the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2020. In making the assessment, it used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on their assessment, management has concluded that, as July 31, 2021, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
1.15.4 | Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
1.15.5 | Limitations of Controls and Procedures |
The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision- making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
The risk factors associated with the principal business of the Company are discussed below. The Company currently holds several mineral claims at early stage. The Company is subject to the highly speculative nature of the resources industry characterized by the requirement for large capital investments from an early stage and a very small probability of finding economic mineral deposits. In addition to the general risks of mining, there are country-specific risks, including currency, political, social, permitting and legal risk. An investor should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information that Quartz Mountain furnishes to, or files with, the Securities and Exchange Commission and with Canadian securities regulators before investing in Quartz Mountain's common shares, and should not consider an investment in Quartz Mountain unless the investor is capable of sustaining an economic loss of the entire investment. The Company's actual exploration and operating results may be very different from those expected as at the date of this MD&A.
Going Concern Assumption
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis. However, unless additional funding is obtained, this assumption will have to change. The Company has a negative working capital position, and has incurred losses since inception. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that Quartz Mountain's assets and liabilities be restated on a liquidation basis, which could differ significantly from the going concern basis.
Additional Funding Requirements
Further development of the Company's continued operations will require additional capital. The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to explore the properties it holds. It is possible that the financing required by the Company will not be available, or, if available, will not be available on acceptable terms. If the Company does issue treasury shares to finance its operations or expansion plans, shareholders will suffer dilution of their investment and control of the Company may change. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company will not be able to remain in business. In addition, a positive production decision at any of the Company's current projects or any other development projects acquired in the future will require significant resources and funding for project engineering and construction. Accordingly, any development of the Company's properties depends upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through debt financing, equity financing, the joint venturing, or disposition of its current projects, or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing for these or other purposes, including for general working capital.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
Future Profits/Losses and Production Revenues/Expenses
The Company has no history of mining operations or earnings, and expects that its losses and negative cash flow will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company does not currently hold a mineral property and there can be no assurance that the Company will, if needed, be able to acquire a property(s) of sufficient technical merit to represent a compelling investment opportunity. If the Company is unable to acquire a property(s), its entire prospects will rest solely with its current net smelter royalty interest in the Angel’s Camp Project and accordingly, the risk of being unable to identify a mineral deposit will be higher than if the Company had additional properties to explore. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable in the future. The Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in subsequent years as consultants, personnel and equipment associated with advancing exploration, development and commercial production of any properties that the Company may acquire are added. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of on-going exploration, the results of consultants' analyses and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of any joint venture agreements with strategic partners, and the Company's acquisition of a property(s) and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company does not expect to receive revenues from operations in the foreseeable future, and expects to incur losses unless and until such time as it acquires a property(s), commence commercial production and generate sufficient revenues to fund its continuing operations. The development of any properties the Company may acquire will require the commitment of substantial resources to conduct the time- consuming exploration and development of properties. The Company anticipates that it would retain any cash resources and potential future earnings for the future operation and development of the Company's business. The Company has not paid dividends since incorporation and the Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate any revenues or achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumed levels of expenses will prove to be accurate. To the extent that such expenses do not result in the creation of appropriate revenues, the Company's business will be materially adversely affected. It is not possible to forecast how the business of the Company will develop.
Exploration, Development and Mining Risks
Resource exploration, development, and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not reduce, including among other things, unsuccessful efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are other risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. The Company will rely upon consultants and others for exploration, development, construction, and operating expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral resources and mineral reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from mineral resources, and in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.
No assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which are highly cyclical; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
Permits and Licenses
If the Company acquires a new mineral property(ies), its operations would require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits which may be required to carry out exploration and development for the Company’s Projects.
Changes in Local Legislation or Regulation
Any mining and processing operations that may be acquired and any exploration activities that might be conducted would be subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, exploration, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine and worker safety, protection of endangered and other special status species and other matters. The Company's ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely impacted by real or perceived detrimental events associated with the Company's activities or those of other mining companies affecting the environment, human health and safety of the surrounding communities. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely affect the Company's operations, including its ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension, or revocation of permits and other penalties. The costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws, regulations and permits could prevent the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine or increase the costs of development or production and may materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company may also be held responsible for the costs of addressing contamination at the site of current or former activities or at third party sites. The Company could also be held liable for exposure to hazardous substances.
Environmental Matters
All of the operations that the Company might acquire would be subject to environmental regulations, which can make operations expensive or prohibit them altogether. The Company may be subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products that could occur as a result of its mineral exploration, development, and production. In addition, environmental hazards may exist on a property in which the Company directly or indirectly holds an interest, which are unknown to the Company at present and have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the Company's projects. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, or the requirement to remedy environmental pollution, which would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. If the Company is unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it could be required to suspend operations or undertake interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. There is also a risk that the environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company's operations more expensive. Many of the environmental laws and regulations will require the Company to obtain permits for its activities. The Company will be required to update and review its permits from time to time, and may be subject to environmental impact analyses and public review processes prior to approval of the additional activities. It is possible that future changes in applicable laws, regulations, and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have a significant impact on some portion of the Company's business, causing those activities to be economically re-evaluated at that time.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
Groups Opposed to Mining May Interfere with the Company's Efforts to Explore and Develop its Properties
Organizations opposed to mining may be active in the regions in which the Company conducts its exploration activities. Although the Company intends to comply with all environmental laws and maintain good relations with local communities, there is still the possibility that those opposed to mining will attempt to interfere with the development of any property(ies) the Company might acquire. Such interference could have an impact on the Company's ability to explore and develop its properties in a manner that is most efficient or appropriate, or at all, and any such impact could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.
Market for Securities and Volatility of Share Price
There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Company's securities will be established or sustained. The market price for the Company's securities is subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as announcements of exploration results, as well as market conditions in the industry or the economy as a whole, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the securities of the Company.
The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
Conflicts of Interest
The Company's directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies, joint venture partners, or companies providing services to the Company or they may have significant shareholdings in other companies. Situations may arise where the directors and/or officers of the Company may be in competition with the Company. Any conflicts of interest will be subject to and governed by the law applicable to directors’ and officers' conflicts of interest. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company's directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.
General Economic Conditions
Global financial markets have experienced a sharp increase in volatility during the last few years. Market conditions and unexpected volatility or illiquidity in financial markets may adversely affect the prospects of the Company and the value of the Company's shares.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2021
Risk Related to COVID-19
The current outbreak of COVID-19, and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens, could have a material adverse effect on global and local economic and business conditions, which may adversely impact our business and results of operations and the operations of contractors and service providers. The outbreak has now spread to Canada where we conduct our principal business operations. Our plans to advance the exploration and development of our projects are dependent upon the Company’s ability to secure project specific financing, as well as our ability to continue the work required once financing has been secured through our employees and our contractors. The progress of work on our projects has been delayed and may further be delayed due to the effects of COVID-19. In addition, our personnel may be delayed in completing the required work that we are pursuing in connection with this process due to quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing, restrictions on travel, restrictions on meetings and work from home requirements. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the spread of the coronavirus globally is expected to have a material adverse effect on global and regional economies and to continue to negatively impact stock markets, including the trading price of our shares as well as mineral commodity prices. These adverse effects on the economy, the stock market and our share price could continue to adversely impact our ability to raise capital, with the result that our ability to pursue exploration and development of our projects could be adversely impacted, both through delays and through increased costs. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations and could delay our exploration and development plans for our projects.
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company is dependent on the continued services of its senior management team, and its ability to retain other key personnel. The loss of such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's employees will remain with the Company or that, in the future, the employees will not organize competitive businesses or accept employment with companies competitive with the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract, train, or retain qualified personnel in the future, which would adversely affect its business.
Competition
The resources industry is highly competitive in all its phases, and the Company will compete with other mining companies, many of which have greater financial, technical, and other resources. Competition in the mining industry is primarily for attractive mineral rich properties capable of being developed and producing economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and operate such properties; the labour to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine certain minerals, but also conduct production and marketing operations on a worldwide basis. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop any property(ies) the Company might acquire. The Company's inability to compete with other mining companies for these resources could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operation and its business.
Uninsurable Risks
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons.
