BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Organization

 

Lode-Star Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on December 9, 2004. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Reno, Nevada. The Company was originally formed to acquire exploration stage natural resource properties.

 

On January 14, 2022, the Company formally returned its 20% undivided interest in the Goldfield Bonanza Project to Lode Star Gold, Inc., the optionor of that property (“LSG”), pursuant to a settlement and termination agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”).

 

On December 28, 2021, the Company acquired from Sapir Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sapir”), all of the assets used in connection with the proprietary stabilized formulation of the Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) molecule for further pharmaceutical development. On June 6, 2022, the Company and Sapir agreed to rescind the acquisition due to circumstances beyond either party’s control. In connection with the rescission, the Company reinstated $2,246,146 in debt owed to LSG that was previously forgiven under the Settlement Agreement in order to facilitate the Sapir transaction.

 

On June 21, 2022 the Company, LSG and certain related party creditors agreed to convert an aggregate of $2,601,207 in debt owed to those parties into 70,302,906 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.037 per share.

 

At present, the Company has no current business project and no cash generating operations. Management is actively seeking business opportunities.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to establish a business and to obtain new financing to execute its business plan. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had no revenue and has incurred accumulated losses of $4,253,207 as of September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is significantly dependent upon its ability and will continue to attempt to secure additional equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, have been omitted. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2022.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality.

 

The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. Those pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

3.

PHARMACEUTICAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

 

On December 28, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Sapir (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the assets of Sapir used in connection with the proprietary stabilized formulation of the Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) molecule for further pharmaceutical development (the “Assets”). The consideration to be paid by the Company for the Assets was 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) nominally valued at $1.00 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock entitled Sapir to 450 votes per share and was convertible into 450 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company recorded the transaction as an asset acquisition as management concluded that all of the gross value received was related to the Assets. The fair value of the assets acquired was estimated to be $2,186,917 using Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Further, as the Assets were still in development at the time of acquisition, management concluded that there was no alternative future use for the Assets and recorded a charge to acquired in-process research and development expense of $2,186,917 at the closing of the transaction, which consisted of the value assigned to the Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement which was recorded in equity as of December 31, 2021.

 

On June 6, 2022, the Company and Sapir entered into an agreement to rescind the acquisition due to circumstances beyond either party’s control. As a result, the Company recognized a recovery of $2,186,917 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - $Nil) representing the reversal the fair value of the Preferred Stock that was to be issued to Sapir in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

4.

CAPITAL STOCK

 

Capitalization

 

The authorized capital of the Company is 500,000,000 shares of capital stock, divided into 480,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The Company has issued 120,937,442 common shares and no preferred shares. During period ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 70,302,906 shares of common stock pursuant to debt conversion agreements with LSG and certain related party creditors in the aggregate amount of $2,601,207.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. These tiers include:

 

■

Level 1 – defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

■

Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

■

Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. The Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties are measured using “Level 2” inputs as there are no quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

New Business

 

On December 28, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sapir Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sapir”), pursuant to which we purchased certain assets from Sapir used in connection with the proprietary stabilized formulation of the Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) molecule (the “Business”) in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of newly-designated Series A preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The closing of the acquisition occurred simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement.

 

At the closing, the parties also executed and delivered a royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to pay Sapir a royalty equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized from licenses or products generated or derived from the Business.

 

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties, we were unable to develop the Business to the extent contemplated by (i) the Purchase Agreement and the Royalty Agreement (together, the “Sapir Agreements”) and (ii) discussions that occurred between us and Sapir following the closing of the Purchase Agreement. As a result, on June 6, 2022, we entered into a rescission agreement with Sapir (the “Rescission Agreement”) in order to rescind the Purchase Agreement and the Royalty Agreement and restore both us and Sapir to the respective positions we occupied immediately in advance of the execution and delivery of the Sapir Agreements.

 

As of the date of the Rescission Agreement, we had not completed the issuance of the Preferred Stock to Sapir or completed any payments to Sapir under the Royalty Agreement. 

 

In connection with the Sapir transaction, on January 14, 2022, we entered into a settlement and termination agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Lode Star Gold, Inc., a private Nevada corporation and our former controlling shareholder (“LSG”), in order to terminate the mineral option agreement between the parties dated October 4, 2014, as amended on October 31, 2019 (together, the “Option Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement provided for the immediate termination of the Option Agreement (with the exception of certain standard provisions that survived according to their terms); the forgiveness by LSG of all amounts owing by us to LSG thereunder, which includes approximately $2.224 million in accrued, unpaid penalty and other payments (collectively, the “Debt”); and the return to LSG of our 20% undivided interest in and to the mineral property that was the subject of the Option Agreement.

 

On June 8, 2022, and in connection with the rescission of the Sapir Agreements, we entered into a debt reinstatement agreement (the “Reinstatement Agreement”) with LSG pursuant to which we agreed to reinstate the Debt. Also on June 8, 2022, we entered into debt conversion agreements with three related parties, including LSG, pursuant to which the creditors converted an aggregate of $2,601,207 in accrued, unpaid debt into 70,302,906 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.037 per share.

 

At present, the Company has no has no current business project and is actively seeking business opportunities.

 

Funding

 

At present, we have no sustainable financing in place other than remedial expenses still being advanced by LSG.

  

Personnel

 

We have no employees. Our President and CEO, Mark Walmesley, receives no compensation for his services. We expect to continue to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary.

 

Our former CFO and Corporate Secretary, Samuel Sternheim, resigned effective September 6, 2022. Mark Walmesley has taken over his role as CFO, Secretary and Treasurer.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Going Concern

 

There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenses. This is because we have not generated any revenues to-date and we cannot currently estimate the timing of any possible future revenues. Our only source of cash at this time is from loans.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022 which are included above in Part I, Item 1.

 

		Three Months Ended September 30								Change
		2022				2021				Amount				Percentage
		$				$				$
Revenue			-				-				-			-
Operating Expenses			10,505				76,548				(66,043	)		(86%)

Other Income (Expense)			2,184,446				(72,348	)			2,256,794			3019%
			2,041,048				(355,814	)			2,396,862			674%

 

Revenues

 

We had no operating revenues during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We had a net loss of $12,169 during the current quarter and recorded net income of $2,041,048 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, which was entirely attributable to the rescission of the Sapir transaction as described above.

 

Expenses

 

Notable year over year differences in expenses for the third quarter in 2022 compared to 2021 are as follows: 

 

		Nine Months Ended September 30								Increase/(Decrease)
		2022				2021				Amount				Percentage
		$				$				$
Consulting services			58,321				93,883				(35,562	)			(38	%)
Exploration and evaluation			-				28,443				(28,443	)			(100	%)
Mineral option fees			-				75,000				(75,000	)			(100	%)
Professional fees			52,719				35,715				17,004				48	%
Interest, bank and finance charges			2,471				72,348				(69,877	)			(97	%)

 

Consulting fees decreased during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as Mark Walmesley no longer provided strategic consulting services during the three months ended September 30, 2022 ($25,000 per quarter in previous quarters).

 

Exploration and evaluation expense and mineral option fees were reduced to $Nil in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 due to the Company terminating its mineral property option and no longer spending on mining efforts.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

Interest, bank and finance charges in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 decreased as the Company settled various interest bearing loans during the period.

 

Professional fees in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 included legal, audit and bookkeeping were increased as the Company paid its OTC Markets annual fee and continued to restructure itself following the rescinding of the Sapir transaction.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2022, the Company’s total assets were $4,484 and its total liabilities were $20,878. The Company’s working capital deficiency at September 30, 2022 was $16,394. For December 31, 2021 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $225,586. The Company has no current business project and no cash generating operations. Management is actively seeking business opportunities. Our primary source of funding is from loans advanced to us from our largest shareholder, LSG, and other related parties.

 

Cash Flows

 

		Nine Months Ended September 30								Increase/(Decrease)
		2022				2021				Amount				Percentage
		$				$				$
Cash Flows Provided By (Used In):
Operating Activities			(61,112	)			(56,353	)			(4,759	)			(8	%)
Financing Activities			59,315				55,000				4,315				8	%
Net increase (decrease) in cash			(1,797	)			(1,353	)			(444	)			(33	%)

 

We have yet to generate any revenues from our business operation and our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs is entirely dependent on the issuance of shares or loans, which have been our principal sources of working capital so far. For the foreseeable future, we will have to continue to rely on those sources for funding. We have no assurance that we can successfully engage in any further private sales of our securities or that we can obtain any additional loans.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the size and nature of the existing business operation. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement disclosure control procedures is limited. Until the organization can increase sufficiently in size to warrant an increase in personnel required to effectively execute and monitor formal disclosure control procedures, those formal procedures will not be implemented. Given the current size of the organization, there are not significant levels of supervision, review, independent directors or a formal audit committee.
