NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Focus Ventures Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia and its common shares are publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

The Company is domiciled in Vancouver, Canada and is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties located primarily in Peru. The address of the Company’s corporate office is #650 – 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 3L6.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on a basis consistent with the significant accounting policies disclosed in note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2016. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

Basis of Measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CDN”), which is also the Company’s and all of its subsidiaries functional currency, except for its 70% interest in Juan Paulo Quay S.A.C., which has a functional currency of the Peruvian Sol. See Note 3(d) for more information.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At August 31, 2017, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $38,384,010 since inception, and is expected to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will periodically have to raise additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on mineral properties and meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

BASIS OF PREPARATION – cont’d

Basis of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company is exposed, 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. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Details of the Company’s principal subsidiaries at August 31, 2017 are as follows:


Name	Place of incorporation	Ownership %	Principal activity
Minera Focus, S.A.C.	Peru	100%	Exploration company
Agrifos Peru S.A.C.	Peru	100%	Exploration company
Focus (Cayman) Inc.	Cayman Islands	100%	Holding company
Agrifos International (Cayman) Inc.	Cayman Islands	100%	Holding company
Juan Paulo Quay S.A.C.	Peru	70%	Exploration and mining company

STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET EFFECTIVE

The following new standard has been issued by the IASB but is not yet effective:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. The final version of this new standard supersedes the requirements of earlier versions of IFRS 9.

The main features introduced by this new standard compared with predecessor IFRS are as follows:

Classification and measurement of financial assets:

Debt instruments are classified and measured on the basis of the entity's business model for managing the asset and its contractual cash flow characteristics as either: “amortized cost”, “fair value through other comprehensive income”, or “fair value through profit or loss” (default). Equity instruments are classified and measured as “fair value through profit or loss” unless upon initial recognition elected to be classified as “fair value through other comprehensive income”.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities:

When an entity elects to measure a financial liability at fair value, gains or losses due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income (as opposed to previously profit or loss). This change may be adopted early in isolation of the remainder of IFRS 9.

Impairment of financial assets:

An expected credit loss impairment model replaced the incurred loss model and is applied to financial assets at “amortized cost” or “fair value through other comprehensive income”, lease receivables, contract assets or loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. An entity recognizes twelve-month expected credit losses if the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition and lifetime expected credit losses otherwise.

STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET EFFECTIVE – cont’d

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – cont’d

Hedge accounting:

Hedge accounting remains a choice, however, is now available for a broader range of hedging strategies. Voluntary termination of a hedging relationship is no longer permitted. Effectiveness testing now needs to be performed prospectively only. Entities may elect to continue to applying IAS 39 hedge accounting on adoption of IFRS 9 (until the IASB has completed its separate project on the accounting for open portfolios and macro hedging).

Effective for the Company's annual period beginning December 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers specifies how and when revenue should be recognized as well as requiring more informative and relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Application of the standard is mandatory and it applies to nearly all contracts with customers: the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted.

IFRS 16 Leases

On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases of which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 Leases. The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive loss in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

The key areas of judgment and estimates applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

The carrying value of the investment in acquisition costs relates to a mineral interest and exploration and evaluation asset, and the recoverability of their carrying values. The Company’s accounting policy for acquisition costs relating to the mineral interest and exploration and evaluation asset requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS – cont’d

If, after acquisition costs relating to the mineral interest or exploration and evaluation asset are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the carrying amount of the mineral interest or exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the Company carries out an impairment test at the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) or group of cash-generating units (“CGUs”) level in the year the new information becomes available. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash flows and the growth rates used. To arrive at cash flow projections the Company uses estimates of economic and market information over the projection period, including growth rates in revenues, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, and cash expenditures.

Inventory valuation requires judgment to determine obsolescence and estimates of provisions for obsolescence to ensure that the carrying value of inventory is not in excess of net realizable value.

Amortization of intangible assets requires judgment in determining the useful life of the assets and estimates as to the residual value at the end of their useful lives and determination of the appropriate amortization rates.

The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of the functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

Judgment is required in the determination that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next year (Note 2).

The Company may be subject to income tax in several jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business and on dispositions of mineral property or interests therein, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, the Company recognizes tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events, and interpretation of tax law. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash includes cash at banks and on hand. Pursuant to a loan agreement covenant, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash or cash equivalent balance of $500,000 throughout the term of the loan (Note 12).

LONG-TERM DEBT

Sprott Loan

On March 24, 2015, the Company completed a $6,231,500 (US$5.0 million) loan facility (the “Loan”) from lenders led by Sprott Resource Lending Partnership (the “Lenders”). $4,985,200 (US$4.0 million) of the Loan funds were used to purchase an interest in the Bayovar 12 Project (Note 6).

On July 14, 2016, the maturity date of the Loan was extended three years, from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2019. In consideration for the Loan extension, the Company issued to the Lenders 2,740,340 common shares of the Company with a value of $274,034, being the market price of the shares on issuance date. In addition, upon each anniversary date of the extended term, the Company is to make an anniversary fee payment of 6% of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding, in cash or shares at the election of the Company.

Key terms of the Loan are as follows:

the Loan has an interest rate of 12% per annum and a maturity date of September 30, 2019;

ii)

security on the Loan is provided by a first charge on all assets of the Company’s two Cayman subsidiaries, and its Peru subsidiary, Agrifos Peru S.A.C., which holds the 70% interest in JPQ;

iii)

the Loan may be repaid prior to maturity, in full or in part, at the option of the Company;

iv)

the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $500,000 and minimum working capital of $250,000 during the term of the loan. For the purpose of the minimum working capital requirement, the outstanding Loan amount is excluded from the calculation;

make a March 24, 2016 anniversary fee payment of US$105,000 in cash or shares (paid $136,101 in cash on March 24, 2016); and

vi)

make anniversary fee payments of 6% of the outstanding principal amount in cash or shares on each of September 30, 2017 (paid US$180,000 in cash subsequent to period end) and September 30, 2018.

The July 14, 2016 extension to the Loan agreement was determined to be not substantially different to the original terms and thus accounted for as a modification to an existing liability in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. As a result, transactions costs of $276,504, of which $274,034 was the value of 2,740,340 common shares of the Company issued to the Lenders, have been capitalized against the Loan amount and are being amortized to the consolidated statements of loss over the term of the Loan.

TERM DEBT – cont’d

As at November 30, 2016, the Company’s working capital was less than the minimum required amounts pursuant to the Loan agreement. This requirement was waived by the Lenders until the Company closed an equity financing on March 23, 2017 (Note 22) at which time the Company became compliant again. As a result of the waiver being of a short-term nature and not specifying relief from the requirements for a period of at least twelve months, the carrying amount of the debt was classified as a current liability as of November 30, 2016. The debt has been reclassified as a long-term liability during the period ended August 31, 2017.

During the period ended August 31, 2017, the Company repaid $670,450 (US$500,000) of the Loan outstanding principal. The outstanding principal balance as of August 31, 2017 is $3,760,800 (US$3,000,000) (November 30, 2016: $4,699,100 (US$3,500,000)).

During the period ended August 31, 2017, a total of $381,371 (2016: $417,428) has been paid in interest and as of August 31, 2017, there is no accrued interest on the Loan.

13.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

The Company’s asset retirement obligation relates to the restoration and rehabilitation of JPQ’s gypsum mining operations. Although the ultimate amount of the asset retirement provision is uncertain, the fair value of this obligation is based on information currently available, including closure plans and the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements.

The asset retirement obligation represents the present value of the restoration and rehabilitation costs relating to mining activities that have occurred to date. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks. The rehabilitation expenditure is expected to be incurred in various stages up to 2027.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. All of the Company’s operations are within the mining sector relating to precious metals exploration. Due to the geographic and political diversity, the Company’s exploration operations are decentralized whereby exploration managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the exploration programs in addressing local and regional issues. The Company’s operations are therefore segmented on a district basis. The Company’s assets are located in Canada and Peru.

Details of identifiable assets by geographic segments are as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to the following financial risks:

Market Risk

Credit Risk

Liquidity Risk

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

General Objectives, Policies and Processes

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Board of Directors reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. As at August 31, 2017, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign 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. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies through its operations in Canada and Peru. The Company monitors this exposure, but has no hedge positions.

As at August 31, 2017, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar:


	August 31, 2017		November 30, 2016
	Peruvian Soles	US Dollars	Peruvian Soles	US Dollars
	(CDN equivalent)	(CDN equivalent)	(CDN equivalent)	(CDN equivalent)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT – cont’d

Based on the above net exposures at August 31, 2017, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the above currencies against the Canadian dollar would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $360,900 (November 30, 2016: $569,100) in the Company’s after tax net earnings, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its term debt and cash. As the Company’s cash is currently held in an interest bearing bank account and the Company’s term debt is subject to a fixed interest rate, management considers the interest rate risk to be limited.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and other receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash that is invested in asset based commercial paper. For other receivables, the Company estimates, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and provides a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At August 31, 2017, the Company had working capital of $2,166,627 (November 30, 2016: working capital deficiency of $5,426,699). All of the Company’s financial liabilities as of August 31, 2017, other than the Loan, have contractual maturities of less than 45 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Determination of Fair value

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

The condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position carrying amounts for cash, receivables, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates fair value due to their short term nature. The present value of term debt, using a discount rate of 15%, is approximately $4,038,839. Due to the use of subjective judgments and uncertainties in the determination of fair values these values should not be interpreted as being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company did not have any financial instruments in Level 1, 2 or 3. There were no transfers between levels in the period.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company monitors its cash, Loan debt, common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to explore new mineral property opportunities. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in order to effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are primarily in the exploration stage, and as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund any future activities. In order to pay for general administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended August 31, 2017. The Company’s investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing bank accounts and/or highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with maturities of one year or less and which can be liquidated at any time without penalties. The Company does not expect its current capital resources to be sufficient to cover its general and administrative costs, cover its Loan interest obligations, and fund property development programs through the next twelve months. As such, the Company will need to raise additional capital. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of property development activity. The Company believes it will be able to raise additional equity capital as required, but recognizes the uncertainty attached thereto.
