Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars) |
1. Nature of operations
Vox Royalty Corp. ("Vox" or the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company's registered office is 66 Wellington Street West, Suite 5300, TD Bank Tower Box 48, Toronto, ON, M5K 1E6, Canada. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol "VOX", and on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "VOXR".
Vox is a mining royalty company focused on accretive acquisitions. Approximately 80% of the Company's royalty and streaming assets by royalty count are located in Australia, Canada and the United States. Further, the Company is prioritizing acquiring royalties on producing or near-term producing assets to complement its portfolio of exploration and development stage royalties.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS34"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and apply the same accounting policies and application as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by IFRS for annual statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2023. For further information, see the Company's annual financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved, and authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 10, 2023.
(b) Basis of presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("$"), which is also the functional currency of the Company and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries.
(c) Principles of consolidation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, SilverStream SEZC (Cayman Islands), Vox Royalty Australia Pty Ltd. (Australia) and Vox Royalty Canada Ltd. (Ontario, Canada).
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.
(d) Changes in accounting policies
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are currently effective requirements. These standards did not have a material impact on the Company's current or future reporting periods.
(e) Recent accounting pronouncements
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2024. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.
Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
Effective on January 1, 2024, the amendments clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability.
3. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impact of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.

Table of Contents |
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars) |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements were the same as those applied to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Restricted Share Unit Plan
The Plan provides that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants non-transferable RSUs based on the value of the Company's share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue cash or equity settle the vested RSUs. The RSUs issued were treated as equity-settled instruments and measured at the grant date fair value because the Company does not have a present obligation to settle the issued RSUs in cash.
The share-based compensation expense related to RSU grants is recorded over the vesting period.

Performance Share Unit Plan
The Plan provides that the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, grant directors, officers, employees and consultants, non-transferable PSUs based on the value of the Company's share price at the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue cash or equity settle the vested PSUs. The PSUs issued were treated as derivative instruments because the number of shares to be eventually issued is based on a percentage of the common shares outstanding at the time the performance hurdle is met. The share-based compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period, which is the date that specific share price hurdles are met.

18. Financial instruments
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no material changes to the risks, objectives, policies and procedures during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.
Credit risk
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 cash equivalents and royalty receivables in the ordinary course of business. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions and closely monitors its royalty receivable balances. The Company's royalty receivables are subject to the credit risk of the counterparties who own and operate the mines underlying Vox's royalty and streaming portfolio.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account anticipated cash flows from operations and holding of cash and cash equivalents. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,166,474 (December 31, 2022 - $4,174,654) and working capital of $3,683,329 (December 31, 2022 - $3,795,951).

Table of Contents |
Vox Royalty Corp. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars) |
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Financial instruments that impact the Company's net income due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and other liabilities denominated in Canadian and Australian dollars. Based on the Company's Canadian and Australian-denominated monetary assets and liabilities at March 31, 2023, a 10% increase (decrease) of the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar relative to the United States dollar would increase (decrease) net loss and other comprehensive loss by $649,000.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances with rates that fluctuate with the prevailing market rate. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in cash accounts or short-term interest-bearing securities issued by chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company does not use any derivative instrument to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Commodity and share price risk
The Company's royalties are subject to fluctuations from changes in market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of precious and base metals are the primary drivers of the Company's profitability and ability to generate free cash flow. All of the Company's future revenue is not hedged in order to provide shareholders with full exposure to changes in the market prices of these commodities.
The Company's financial results may be significantly affected by a decline in the price of precious, base and/or ferrous metals. The price of precious and base metals can fluctuate widely, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and income tax liabilities on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- | 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); and | |
- | Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition, except for other liabilities, which are estimated using Level 3 inputs.
The following table provides information about financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position and categorized by level according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
As at March 31, 2023
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
