NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars - unaudited)

1.	Nature and Continuance of Operations

Standard Lithium Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on August 14, 1998 under the name Tango Capital Corp. On April 7, 1999, the Company changed its name to Patriot Capital Corp. and to Patriot Petroleum Corp. effective March 5, 2002. On December 1, 2016 the Company continued under the Canadian Business Corporations Act and changed its name to Standard Lithium Ltd. The Company's principal operations are comprised of exploration for and development of lithium brine properties in the United States of America ("USA"). The address of the Company's corporate office and principal place of business is 110, 375 Water Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 5C6. The Company's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and NYSE American Stock Exchange under the symbol "SLI" and the Frankfurt Exchange in "S5L".

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") on a going concern basis, which presume the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has no sources of revenue and as at September 30, 2021 had an accumulated deficit of $77,976,495(June 30, 2021 - $68,617,507). These matters raise significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise equity financings. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

During March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operations has not been significant, but management continues to monitor the situation.

2.	Basis of Presentation

a)	Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required of a complete set of consolidated financial statements and are intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and the performance of the Company since the end of its last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that these condensed consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2021, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

b)	Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. On February 21, 2017, the Company acquired Moab Minerals Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary 1093905 Nevada Corp. Moab Minerals Corp. was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and 1093905 Nevada Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA. On March 17, 2017, the Company incorporated California Lithium Ltd. in the State of Nevada, USA. On June 13, 2017, the Company acquired Vernal Minerals Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Arkansas Lithium Corp. Vernal Minerals Corp. was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and Arkansas Lithium Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA. On December 13, 2018, the Company acquired 2661881 Ontario Limited which was incorporated under the laws of Ontario. On February 3, 2021, the Company incorporated Texas Lithium Holding Corp. in the Province of British Columbia and on February 11, 2021 the Company incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary Texas Lithium Corp. in the State of Nevada, USA. On June 9, 2021, the Company amalgamated Moab Minerals Corp., Vernal Minerals Corp. and 2661881 Ontario Limited into Standard Lithium Ltd. On July 19, 2021, the Company incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary 1093905 LLC in the State of Delaware, USA.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

c)	Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The functional currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiary, Texas Lithium Holdings Corp. is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of 1093905 Nevada Corp., California Lithium Ltd., Arkansas Lithium Corp., Texas Lithium Corp and 1093905 LLC is the United States dollar.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in profit and loss.

The results and financial position of a subsidiary that has a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

§	Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date;

§	Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

§	All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.

c)	Functional and presentation currency - continued

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entity is taken to accumulated other comprehensive loss. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

d)	Basis of measurement

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss which are stated at their fair value.

In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

At signing of the MOU, a non-refundable deposit of $614,150(US$500,000) was made with additional fees and payment obligations in the future if the option is executed and exercised, and subject to certain conditions.

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into an Option Agreement to proceed with the transaction (the "Agreement Date"). Under this Option Agreement, the Company will be required to make payments to the Vendor as follows:

·	US$500,000before January 28, 2018 (paid)

·	An additional US$600,000on or before December 29, 2018 (paid)

·	An additional US$700,000on or before December 29, 2019 (paid)

·

Additional annual payments of US$1,000,000on or before each annual anniversary of the Agreement Date, beginning with that date that is 48 months following the Agreement Date, until the earlier of the expiration of the Exploratory Period or, if the Optionee exercises the Option, the Optionee beginning payment of the Royalty.

During the Lease Period, at any time following the commencement of Commercial Production, the Company agreed to pay a Royalty of 2.5% of gross revenue (minimum Royalty US$1,000,000) to the underlying owner.

On May 4, 2018 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), with LANXESS Corporation ("LANXESS") with the purpose of testing and proving the commercial viability of extraction of lithium from brine that is produced as part of LANXESS' bromine extraction business at its three southern Arkansas facilities.The MOU sets out the basis on which the parties have agreed to cooperate in a phased process towards developing commercial opportunities related to the production, marketing and sale of battery grade lithium products extracted from tail brine and brine produced from the Smackover Formation. The MOU forms the basis of what will become a definitive agreement and is binding until the execution of a more comprehensive agreement that the parties may execute on the completion of further development phases. The Company has paid an initial $3,834,000(US$3,000,000) reservation fee to LANXESS to secure access to the tail brine, with an additional US$3,000,000reservation fee due upon completion of certain development phases which were completed prior to the year end of June 30, 2019. The additional US$3,000,000fee was paid in full on February 16, 2021.

On May 9, 2020, the Company commenced full-time operation of its LiSTR pilot plant, located at LANXESS' south plant facility in El Dorado, Arkansas. The pilot plant is the culmination of over three years of research and development activities by the Company and its partners. The pilot plant is a bespoke DLE (Direct Lithium Extraction) plant, designed to extract lithium directly and continuously from Smackover Formation brines. The plant is designed to process up to 50 USGPM of brine, extract the lithium, and produce a high quality, concentrated lithium chloride intermediate product.

The pilot plant is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 2years and has an estimated salvage value of $640,000(US$500,000) at the end of its estimated useful life.

7.	Convertible loan

On October 29, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into a US$3,750,000loan and guarantee agreement (the "Agreement") with LANXESS Corporation (the "Lender"). The Loan was fully advanced to the Company on the Closing Date and will be used in the ongoing development of the Company's pilot plant in southern Arkansas (see Note 6).

The principal amount of the Loan matures on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that at the election of the Lender at any time after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Maturity Date shall be such earlier date as the Lender may elect by written notice provided to the Company at least 60 days before such earlier date. The Loan will be convertible at the option of the Lender at any time prior to the repayment of the Loan, at the Lender's option, to convert all or any portion of a Loan into common shares and warrants of the Company at a rate such that for each US$1,000 of principal converted, the Lender will receive 1,667common shares of the Company and one-half of one warrant to purchase an additional common share with an exercise price of $1.20per common share for a term of three years. Assuming full conversion of the Loan principal, the Lender would receive 6,251,250common shares and 3,125,625warrants of the Company. All securities issued upon conversion of the Loan will be subject to four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period from the date the Loan was advanced.

7.	Convertible loan - continued

The outstanding principal amount of the Loan will bear interest at an annual rate of 3.0%, subject to adjustments with accrued interest being payable in cash on each anniversary of the Closing Date. In the event that the Company has a positive consolidated operating cash flow, as shown on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will pay a fee to the Lender of 4.5% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the Loan from the issuance date to the date that the consolidated operating cash flow of the Company is positive. From and after the date on which the consolidated operating cash flow of the Company is positive, the annual interest rate increases to 7.5%. Pre-payments are permitted with prior written approval of the Lender and are subject to a prepayment fee of 3.0% on the portion of the Loan being prepaid.

The Company determined that the Convertible loan contains an embedded foreign exchange derivative liability and a debt host liability. The embedded foreign exchange derivative liability was determined to be not material and therefore the Company assigned the full value on initial recognition to the debt host liability.

The gross proceeds of the Convertible loan were reduced by the transaction costs of US$199,869resulting in a balance of US$3,550,131on initial recognition. The Convertible loan is measured at amortized cost and will be accreted to maturity over the term at 4.1% per annum using the effective interest method.

On June 10, 2021, the Lender elected for early conversion of the loan in full and the Company issued 6,251,250common shares and issued 3,125,625share purchase warrants. Each warrant is exercisable to acquire an additional common share of the Company at a price of $1.20until June 10, 2024. The full conversion of the loan facility retired the US$3,750,000of long-term liability. The Company paid the Lender $181,286of interest accrued on the loan from the period of October 29, 2019 to June 9, 2021.

A merger, amalgamation, arrangement, reorganization or transfer takes place in which equity securities of the Company possessing more than one-half of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding equity securities are acquired by a person or persons different from the persons holding those equity securities immediately prior to such transaction, and the composition of the board of directors of the Company following such transaction is such that the directors of the Company prior to the transaction constitute less than one-half of the directors following the transaction, except that no Change in Control will be deemed to occur if such merger, amalgamation, arrangement, reorganization or transfer is with any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company;

b)	If any person, or any combination of persons acting jointly or in concert by virtue of an agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding shall acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding equity securities;

c)	If any person, or any combination of persons acting jointly or in concert by virtue of an agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding shall acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the right to appoint a majority of the directors of the Company; or

d)	If the Company sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, except that no Change in Control will be deemed to occur if such sale or disposition is made to a subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company.

If the Company terminates the agreements other than for Just Cause, the Company shall provide the director or officers with working notice, payment in lieu of working notice or a combination of the two equal to twenty-four (24) months of fees applicable. As of September 30, 2021, the maximum amount that would be payable is $3,000,000.

11.	Capital Management

The Company considers its capital structure to include shareholders' equity.

12.	Financial instruments and financial risk management

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. Fair values are determined by reference to quoted market prices, as appropriate, in the most advantageous market for that instrument to which the Company has immediate access. In the absence of an active market, fair values are determined based on prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

The fair value of current financial instruments approximates their carrying value as they are short term in nature.

Financial instruments that are held at fair value are categorised based on a valuation hierarchy which is determined by the valuation methodology utilised:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 for the period ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended June 30, 2021.

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

September 30, 2021		Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
Cash		$	23,128,590			$	-			$	-			$	23,128,590

June 30, 2021		Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
Cash		$	27,988,471			$	-			$	-			$	27,988,471

The Company's Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in response to the Company's activities. Management regularly monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

·	financing operations; and

·	ensuring liquidity to all operations.

In order to satisfy these objectives, the Company has adopted the following policies:

·	recognize and observe the extent of operating risk within the business;

·	identify the magnitude of the impact of market risk factors on the overall risk of the business and take advantage of natural risk reductions that arise from these relationships.

(i)	Interest rate risk
