NEVADA CANYON GOLD CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED

JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On July 6, 2016, the Company changed its name from Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. On December 15, 2021, the Company incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests in Nevada and Idaho.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment is based on various factors, including historical and projected financial performance, liquidity, and other relevant circumstances. As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has sufficient cash to meet its working capital requirements and fund its exploration programs and general day-to-day operations for at least the next 12 months. This assessment takes into account the Company’s current cash balances as a result of the sale of the Company’s common shares under offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering”), and expected future cash inflows from the Offering and future financing the management is planning to undertake.

 

While the Company believes it has the financial resources to continue its operations for the next 12 months, it is important to note that there are inherent uncertainties in projecting future cash flows, and there can be no assurance that these projections will be realized. The Company continues to closely monitor its financial position, market conditions, and other factors that may impact its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment is based on the information available as of the date of this report. If unforeseen events, adverse market conditions, or other factors negatively affect the Company’s financial position in the future, there may be a need to adjust the going concern assessment. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In the event that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern becomes doubtful, adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as additional disclosures, would be necessary.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Earnings per Share

 

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock. Restricted stock that has been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, was 2,001,667 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options, warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding warrants and undistributed restricted stock awards are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. The new guidance addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to (1) provide decision useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and (2) reduce diversity in practice. The guidance is applied prospectively and effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires additional disclosures of disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this disclosure guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company issued further 5,750 Common Shares for total proceeds to the Company of $6,900 which were received prior to June 30, 2024, and therefore recorded as obligation to issue shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

Forward-looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report include some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding our mission and vision. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith on the basis of management’s views and assumptions as of the time the statements are made, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows and to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our future products, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include:

 

  management’s plans, objectives and budgets for its future operations and future economic performance;
  capital budget and future capital requirements;
  meeting future capital needs;
  our dependence on management and the need to recruit additional personnel;
  limited trading for our common stock;
  the level of future expenditures;
  impact of recent accounting pronouncements;
  the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters; and
  the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements.

 

Actual results and developments may materially differ from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements due to a number of factors, including:

 

  those described in the context of such forward-looking statements;
  future product development and marketing costs;
  the markets of our domestic operations;
  the impact of competitive products and pricing;
  the political, social and economic climate in which we conduct operations; and
  the risk factors described in other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (SEC File No. 333-196075).

 

We operate in an extremely competitive environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “the Company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC, incorporated in Nevada, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

We intend the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. You should refer to the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction with this discussion.

 

General

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On December 15, 2021, we incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.

 

We are a US-based natural resource company headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The Company has a large, strategic land position and royalties, in multiple projects, within some of Nevada’s highest-grade historical mining districts. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q our mineral property and royalty interests are comprised of the Lazy Claims Property, the Loman Property, and the Agai-Pah Property located in Mineral County, Nevada, the Swales Property located in Elko County, Nevada, and the Belshazzar Property located in Quartzburg mining district, Boise County, Idaho. In addition, we acquired an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada, acquired 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, 2% NSR on the Lapon Canyon Project, 1% NSR on 36 Sleeper claims included in the Lapon Canyon Project, and 2% NSR on the Pikes Peak Project which are located in Mineral County, Nevada.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenues

 

We had no revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.

Our general and administrative expenses increased by $11,232, from $27,047 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $38,279 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024.

Other Income (Expenses)

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $38,524 loss on fair value of investments in equity securities (2023 – $6,224). The loss resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares and was caused mainly by decreased market price of WRR’s Shares from CAD$0.30 per share at March 31, 2024, to CAD$0.20 per share at June 30, 2024, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. In addition, we earned $111,578 in interest income, which increased in comparison to $7,321 we earned during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of larger cash balances from capital raise.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $18,674 gain on fair value of investments in equity securities (2023 – $94,962 loss). The loss resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares and was caused mainly by decreased market price of WRR’s Shares from CAD$0.145 per share at December 31, 2023, to CAD$0.20 per share at June 30, 2024, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. In addition, we earned $225,649 in interest income, which increased in comparison to $13,813 we earned during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of larger cash balances from capital raise.

 

Net Loss

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred net loss of $865,329, as compared to net loss of $669,545 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. This change mainly resulted from increased investor awareness and marketing expenses which were in part offset by increased interest income and decreased professional fees.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred net loss of $1,704,774, as compared to net loss of $1,144,619 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. This change mainly resulted from increased investor awareness and marketing expenses which were in part offset by increased interest income and decreased professional fees.

Working capital  $8,341,978   $8,979,119 

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had a cash balance of $9,106,886 and working capital of $8,341,978 with cash flows used in operations totaling $568,670 for the period then ended. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our operations were funded with cash on hand. The cash that we had on hand at June 30, 2024, was generated from the issuance of 12,499,343 Units under the offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering”) for net cash proceeds of $9,598,012, which we closed during the year ended December 31, 2023, and from exercise of Warrants we issued as part of the Offering.

 

19
 

 

Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, our operating activities do not generate cash flows, and cannot satisfy our cash requirements. However, we believe that the cash we were able to generate from the Offering will allow us to support our operations including our planned exploration programs and the general day-to-day business activities for the next 12-month period. We will continue to look for opportunities to generate additional cash through future equity or debt financings.

These uses of cash were further increased by $15,167 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $18,674 gain on revaluation of fair value of our investments in WRR Shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $94,962 loss on revaluation of fair value of our investments in WRR Shares. In addition, we recognized $490,173 in director compensation associated with the par-value shares we distributed to our directors on December 30, 2021, $233,333 and $155,556 we recorded as the vesting of shares awarded to our VP of Operations and to our consultants, respectively, in accordance with the consulting agreements we executed in February of 2023.

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we spent $20,000, to make option payments on our Swales Property, which was initially accrued at December 31, 2023, $325,000 to acquire NSR on Lapon Canyon Project, and $150,000 to acquire NSR on Pikes Peak Project.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we used $20,000 to make an option payment on our Swales Property, which we accrued in December of 2022.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we issued 363,625 shares for total proceeds of $436,350 on exercise of the Warrants issued as part of the Offering, which the Company closed in its fiscal 2023 year. Of this amount, $18,000 was received during the year ended December 31, 2023, and $10,500 were received during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, for which 5,750 Common Shares were issued subsequent to June 30, 2024, and 3,000 Common Shares remain to be issued as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company paid $2,686 in share issuance costs associated with exercise of these Warrants.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we did not generate any funds from our financing activities.

 

Going Concern

 

At June 30, 2024, we had a working capital surplus of $8,341,978 and cash on hand of $9,106,886, which is sufficient to support our current plan of operations including exploration programs for the next 12-month period. Our investment in equity security is represented by 511,750 WRR Shares valued at $74,779.

 

To support our operations beyond the 12-month period, we are planning to continue actively pursuing other means of financing our operations including equity and/or debt financing. However, given the current market and industry conditions, we cannot be sure that we will be able to procure additional funding. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past fiscal quarter.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we used $20,000, each, to make annual option payments on Swales Property. In addition, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we used $475,000 to acquire royalty interests.

 

Unproved Mineral Properties and Royalty Interests

 

As of the date of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our mineral property and royalty interests are comprised of the Lazy Claims Property, the Loman Property, and the Agai-Pah Property located in Mineral County, Nevada, the Swales Property located in Elko County, Nevada, and the Belshazzar Property located in Quartzburg mining district, Boise County, Idaho. In addition, we acquired a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, a 2% NSR on the Lapon Canyon Project, a 1% NSR on 36 Sleeper claims included in the Lapon Canyon Project, a 2% NSR on the Pikes Peak Project which are located in Mineral County, Nevada, and have an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada.

We agreed to pay Tarsis a 2% production royalty (the “Lazy Claims Royalty”) based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Lazy Claims Property. Should the Lazy Claims Royalty payments to Tarsis be in excess of $2,000 per year, we will not be required to pay a $2,000 annual minimum payment.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On July 6, 2016, the Company changed its name from Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. On December 15, 2021, the Company incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests in Nevada and Idaho.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment is based on various factors, including historical and projected financial performance, liquidity, and other relevant circumstances. As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has sufficient cash to meet its working capital requirements and fund its exploration programs and general day-to-day operations for at least the next 12 months. This assessment takes into account the Company’s current cash balances as a result of the sale of the Company’s common shares under offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering”), and expected future cash inflows from the Offering and future financing the management is planning to undertake.

 

While the Company believes it has the financial resources to continue its operations for the next 12 months, it is important to note that there are inherent uncertainties in projecting future cash flows, and there can be no assurance that these projections will be realized. The Company continues to closely monitor its financial position, market conditions, and other factors that may impact its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment is based on the information available as of the date of this report. If unforeseen events, adverse market conditions, or other factors negatively affect the Company’s financial position in the future, there may be a need to adjust the going concern assessment. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In the event that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern becomes doubtful, adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as additional disclosures, would be necessary.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

 

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock. Restricted stock that has been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, was 2,001,667 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options, warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding warrants and undistributed restricted stock awards are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. The new guidance addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to (1) provide decision useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and (2) reduce diversity in practice. The guidance is applied prospectively and effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires additional disclosures of disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this disclosure guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Directors:

 

On December 30, 2021, the Company distributed a total of 6,005,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s directors (the “Director Shares”). The Director Shares are subject to the terms and conditions included in 3-year lock-up and vesting agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), which contemplate that the Director Shares will vest in equal annual installments over a 3-year term during which term the shareholders agreed not to sell, directly or indirectly, or enter into any other transactions involving the Company’s common shares regardless if the shares have vested or not.

 

The fair value of the shares was determined to be approximately $2,965,413 or $0.4938 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the issue date adjusted for the restrictions under the Lock-up Agreements. The shares vest over a three-year time period.

 

As stated above, the Company distributed all of the awarded shares prior to vesting. As at June 30, 2024, 4,003,333 shares have vested and 2,001,667 shares will vest on December 31, 2024.

Officer – VP of Operations:

 

On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the Company’s newly appointed Vice President of Operations (the “VP Agreement”). The Company agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for the services. The shares vest ratably over a two-year period, beginning March 1, 2023, and vested shares are distributed quarterly. The fair value of the shares was $1,400,000 or $0.70 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date the service period began. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had distributed a total of 1,083,333 shares under the VP Agreement and had recorded an obligation to issue further 250,000 Common Shares, which were issued on July 1, 2024.

 

Unvested compensation related to the shares to be issued under the VP Agreement of $466,667 will be recognized over the next eight months.

 

 

Consultants:

 

On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into two separate consulting agreements with consultants (the “Consulting Agreements”) in exchange for a total of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. All shares vest ratably over a three-year period, beginning March 1, 2023, and vested shares are distributed quarterly . The fair value of the shares was $1,400,000 or $0.70 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date the service period began. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had distributed a total of 722,223 shares under the Consulting Agreements and had recorded an obligation to issue further 166,667 Common Shares, which were issued on July 1, 2024.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

 

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock. Restricted stock that has been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, was 2,001,667 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options, warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding warrants and undistributed restricted stock awards are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. The new guidance addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to (1) provide decision useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and (2) reduce diversity in practice. The guidance is applied prospectively and effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires additional disclosures of disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this disclosure guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
