PUREBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Corporate Overview

 

PureBase Corporation (“PureBase” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2010. The Company is an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States through its two subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PureBase AG”), and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PureBase SCM”), respectively.

 

The Company is headquartered in Ione, California.

 

Agricultural Sector

 

The Company develops specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture. The Company has developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of leonardite, kaolin clay, laterite, and other natural minerals. These mineral and soil amendments are used to protect crops, plants and fruits from the sun and winter damage, to provide nutrients to plants, and to improve dormancy and soil ecology to help farmers increase the yields of their harvests. The Company is building a brand family under the parent trade name “PureBase,” consisting of its PureBase Shade Advantage (WP) product, a kaolin-clay based sun protectant for crops and Humic Advantage, a humic acid product derived from leonardite.

 

Construction Sector

 

The Company has been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believes will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). The Company is developing an SCM that it believes can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, the Company believes there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction-materials sector.

 

The Company utilizes the services of US Mine Corporation (“USMC”), a Nevada corporation and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation, and product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC. A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors, and owners of USMC.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2023, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of $61,493,664 and working capital deficit of $387,334. For the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company had a loss from operations of $8,138,892 and negative cash flows from operations of $685,807. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2023. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses primarily with additional infusions of cash from advances from USMC and the sale of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

7

 

 

The Company’s plan, through the continued promotion of its products to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover its anticipated expenses. The Company is currently exploring several options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including future line of credits and issuances of equity securities or equity-linked securities to USMC and other third parties.

 

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including funding from USMC in connection with the March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement, March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement, and July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement provides for the issuance by the Company of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of two-year convertible promissory notes to USMC (See Note 6). The notes bear interest at 5% per annum and any outstanding principal or interest under the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.39 per share. Currently, the Company has issued $919,209 of convertible notes under the March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement and may issue an additional $80,791 of convertible notes. The March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement provides for the issuance by the Company of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of two-year convertible promissory notes to USMC (See Note 6). The notes bear interest at 8% per annum and any outstanding principal or interest under the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. Currently, the Company has issued $412,533 of convertible notes under the March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement and may issue an additional $587,467 of convertible notes under such agreement. The July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement provides for the issuance for up to one year of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of advances from USMC under an unsecured convertible grid promissory note (See Note 12). The note bears interest at 8% annum and any outstanding principal or accrued interest under the note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share on the maturity date. As of the date hereof, there have been no advances from USMC under the July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement. There currently are no other arrangements or agreements for financing, and management cannot guarantee any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease its operations completely.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2023 with the SEC. The results of the six months ended May 31, 2023 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries PureBase AG and PureBase SCM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

8

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and equity-based transactions at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 

Revenue

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives revenues from the sale of products from its agricultural sector and construction sector. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of risk of loss to the customer.

 

Practical Expedients

 

As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including:

 

  Significant Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
  Unsatisfied and Partially Unsatisfied Performance Obligations – for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period.
  Shipping and Handling Activities – the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.
  Right to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

Disaggregated Revenue

 

Revenue consists of the following by product offering for the six months ended May 31, 2023:

 

CROP WHITE II   SHADE ADVANTAGE (WP)   SulFe Hume Si ADVANTAGE   Total 
              
$                   -   $               67,152   $            51,480   $       118,632 

 

Revenue consists of the following by product offering for the six months ended May 31, 2022:

 

CROP WHITE II   SHADE ADVANTAGE (WP)   SulFe Hume Si ADVANTAGE   Total 
              
$192,780   $       35,696   $                         -   $   228,476 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. As of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

 

Property and Equipment

 

 Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.

 

Equipment 3-5 years
Autos and trucks 5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. The Company currently has $620,000 in property and equipment, primarily two ball mills, acquired on May 1, 2020. As of May 31, 2023, the Company has not put the acquired property and equipment to use. As such, the Company has not recorded depreciation related to these assets.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. The Company did not incur shipping and handling costs during the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $2,000 and no shipping and handling costs during the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

10

 

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $2,643 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023. There were no advertising and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
   
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
   
Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company’s debt and interest payable on the notes based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2023 and 2022. All outstanding options are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, outstanding options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022.

 

11

 

 

The following table summarizes the stocks that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common stock:

 

   Three Months Ended, 
   May 31, 2023   May 31, 2022 
         
Convertible Notes   6,656,110    - 
Stock Options   128,688,187    1,595,000 
Total   135,344,297    1,595,000 

 

   Six Months Ended, 
   May 31, 2023   May 31, 2022 
         
Convertible Notes   6,656,110    - 
Stock Options   128,688,187    59,595,000 
Total   135,344,297    59,595,000 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

For stock options issued to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options as noted above.

 

Leases

 

With the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

12

 

 

The Company leases its corporate offices. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company is a party to a two-year lease with USMC for 1,000 square feet of office space located in Ione, California (the “Ione Lease”) with respect to its corporate operations (See Note 7). Effective November 1, 2022, the Ione Lease was amended to extend the lease through October 2024 and to add an additional 700 square feet of office space for a total monthly rental price of $3,500 per month, with automatic one-month renewals. The remaining weighted average term is 1.4 years. The Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at December 1, 2020. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 5%.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases. See Note 7 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Exploration Stage

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. As of May 31, 2023, the Company was not engaged in any mine exploration.

 

Mineral Rights

 

Acquisition costs of mineral rights are capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study. Expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed as incurred and expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which subsequent expenditures relating to development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.

 

Where proven and probable reserves have been established, the project’s capitalized expenditures are depleted over proven and probable reserves upon commencement of production using the units-of-production method. Where proven and probable reserves have not been established, such capitalized expenditures are depleted over the estimated production life upon commencement of extraction using the straight-line method.

 

13

 

 

The carrying values of the mineral rights are assessed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis or when indicators of impairment exist. Should management determine that these carrying values cannot be recovered, the unrecoverable amounts are written off against earnings. As of May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized mineral rights.

NOTE 4 – MINING RIGHTS

 

Snow White Mine located in San Bernardino County, CA – Deposit

 

On November 28, 2014 US Mining and Minerals Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement in which it agreed to sell its fee simple property interest and certain mining claims to USMC. In contemplation of the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, on December 1, 2014, USMC, assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to the Company pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Assignment, the Company assumed the purchaser position under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement involves the sale of approximately 280 acres of mining property containing 5 placer mining claims known as the Snow White Mine located near Barstow, California in San Bernardino County. The property is covered by a Conditional Use Permit allowing the mining of the property and a Plan of Operation and Reclamation Plan has been approved by San Bernardino County and Bureau of Land Management. An initial deposit of $50,000 was paid to the Company and held in escrow, and the Purchase Agreement required the payment of an additional $600,000 at the end of the escrow period. There was a delay in the original seller, Joseph Richard Matthewson, receiving a clear title to the property and a fully permitted project, both of which were conditions to the closing of the sale from US Mining and Minerals Corporation to the Company. In light of the foregoing, and the payment of an additional $25,000, the parties agreed to extend the closing. Due to delays in the Company securing the necessary funding to close the purchase of the Snow White Mine property, John Bremer, a shareholder and a director of the Company, paid $575,000 to acquire the property interest and mining claims on or about October 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer agreed to transfer title to the Company upon payment of $575,000 plus expenses to Mr. Bremer, however, the Company is under no obligation to do so. The mining claims require a minimum royalty payment of $3,500 per year to be made by the Company, which is paid by USMC.

 

On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Bremer Family 1995 Living Trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to which the Company will purchase the Snow White Mine for $836,000 (the “Purchase Price”) from the Trust. The Purchase Price plus 5% interest is payable in full in cash at closing. On April 14, 2022, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to April 14, 2023. On April 7, 2023 the agreement was further amended to extend the Closing Date to April 1, 2024.

Legal Matters

 

On July 8, 2020, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico (“Calvanico”), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum of $600,000 in alleged stock value, plus interest, recovery of past and future wages, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages (collectively, the “Calvanico Claims”). The Company denied all Calvanico Claims. The Company believes Calvanico is owed nothing because it takes the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019, in accordance with its terms, and was not renewed by the Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. On February 14, 2020, the Company requested in writing that Calvanico exercise his stock options within 30 days. Calvanico failed to do so. The Company and Calvanico engaged in binding arbitration which concluded on February 3, 2023. On June 20, 2023, the arbitrator decided in favor of the Company with respect to breach of contract, fraud and negligent representation and wrongful discharge and in favor of Calvanico for attorneys’ fees for Calvanico’s asserted claims in accordance with his employment agreement with the Company. A teleconference was set for July 18, 2023 for determination of the amount of attorneys’ fees to be awarded.

As used in this Quarterly Report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to PureBase Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PureBase AG”) and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PureBase SCM”).

 

Business Overview

 

We are an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States, through our two subsidiaries, PureBase AG, and PureBase SCM, respectively. The Company has not yet commenced mining operations and relies on US Mine LLC for its raw materials.

 

26

 

 

Agricultural Sector

 

We develop specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture. We have developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of leonardite, kaolin clay, laterite, and other natural minerals. These mineral and soil amendments are used to protect crops, plants and fruits from the sun and winter damage, to provide nutrients to plants, and to improve dormancy and soil ecology to help farmers increase the yields of their harvests. We are building a brand family under the parent trade name “PureBase,” consisting of its PureBase Shade Advantage WP product, a kaolin-clay based sun protectant for crops and Humic Advantage a humic acid product derived from leonardite.

 

Construction Sector

 

We are developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believes will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). We are developing SCMs for the construction material markets, particularly the cement markets that we believe can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, we believe there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction-materials sector.

 

We utilize the services of USMC, for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation and for product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC.

 

A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors and owners of USMC.

 

Recent Developments

 

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement and unsecured convertible grid promissory note with USMC. The July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement provides for the issuance for up to one year of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of advances from USMC under an unsecured convertible grid promissory note (See Note 12).

As of the date hereof, there have been no advances from USMC under the July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement.

Revenues

 

Revenue decreased by $162,100, or 71% for the three months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in purchases by the Company’s customers during the three months ended May 31, 2023.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold decreased by $61,424, or 70%, for the three months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022, directly corresponding with the decrease in revenue during the three months ended May 31, 2023.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses decreased by $5,301,225, or 70%, for the three months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $5,462,956 for the three months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022.

 

The Company continued to expense the option to purchase an aggregate of 116,000,000 shares of common stock granted to US Mine LLC on October 6, 2021 through March 2023, which constituted 99% of stock-based compensation during the period. As of April,2023, the Company no longer expensed such option which resulted in a decreased stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended May 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022.

 

Other Income

 

The increase in other income for the three months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022, is due to a recognized gain of $275,000 from the settlement with Superior Soils on April 28, 2023.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased by $1,388 or 13%, for the three months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2022, primarily due to a increase in outstanding debt.

Net Loss  $(7,850,015)  $(18,715,921)  $10,865,906 

 

Revenues

 

Revenue decreased by $109,844, or 48%, for the six months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in purchases by the Company’s customers during the six months ended May 31, 2023.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold expenses decreased by $42,213, or 46%, for the six months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022, directly corresponding with the decrease in revenue during the six months ended May 31, 2023.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses decreased by $10,614,756, or 56%, for the six months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $10,927,681 for the six months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022.

 

The Company continued to expense the option to purchase an aggregate of 116,000,000 shares of common stock granted to US Mine LLC on October 6, 2021 through March 2023, which constituted 99% of stock-based compensation during the period. As of April, 2023, the Company no longer expensed such option which resulted in a decreased stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended May 31, 2023 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022.

 

Other Income

 

Other income increased by $308,394 for the six months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022, primarily due to a gain on legal settlement of $275,000, and gain on forgiveness of debt and accrued interest in the amount of $35,401.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased by $10,387, or 33%, for the six months ended May 31, 2023, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 31, 2023, we had cash on hand of $23,248 and a working capital deficiency of $387,334, as compared to cash on hand of $19,055 and a working capital deficiency of $620,290 as of November 30, 2022. The decrease in working capital deficiency is primarily a result of a decrease in settlement liability from $400,000 to $225,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $66,376, which were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $297,079.

 

The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2023, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses with cash advances from USMC and the sale of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including funding from USMC in connection with the March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement, March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement, and July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

 

On February 28, 2023, in connection with the securities purchase agreement with USMC, dated April 7, 2022, the Company issued a 5% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $308,320 to USMC, which matures on February 28, 2025. Amounts due under the note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the noteholder, at a conversion price of $0.39 per share.

 

On May 31, 2023, in connection with the securities purchase agreement with USMC, dated March 20, 2023, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $412,533 to USMC, which matures on May 31, 2025 Amounts due under the note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the noteholder, at a conversion price of $0.10 per share.

 

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement and unsecured convertible grid promissory note with USMC. The July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement provides for the issuance for up to one year of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of advances from USMC under an unsecured convertible grid promissory note (See Note 12). The note bears interest at 8% annum and any outstanding principal or accrued interest under the note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share on the maturity date. As of the date hereof, there have been no advances from USMC under the July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement.

 

Going Concern

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from inception through May 31, 2023 of $61,493,664 as well as negative cash flows from operating activities and a working capital deficiency. During the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company received net cash proceeds of $705,000 from USMC and USMC paid $15,853 to vendors on behalf of the Company. If the Company does not generate additional revenue and obtain equity and debt financing from USMC or other third parties, it will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations for the twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. There currently are no other arrangements or agreements for financing, and there can be no assurances that any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issue date of this report.

Working Capital Deficiency

 

   May 31, 2023   November 30, 2022 
Current assets  $90,808   $23,786 
Current liabilities   478,142    644,076 
Working capital deficiency  $(387,334)  $(620,290)

 

The increase in current assets as of May 31, 2023 is primarily due to the increase of accounts receivable of $66,376. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily a result of a reduction in settlement liability from $400,000 to $225,000, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $297,079.

Critical Accounting Policies and Procedures

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2023 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by Sarbanes-Oxley is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

 

Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
Lack of formal policies and procedures;
Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner; and
Lack of personnel with U.S. GAAP experience including a chief financial officer.

 

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

 

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:

 

Continue to search for and evaluate qualified independent outside directors;
Hiring a qualified chief financial officer before December 31, 2023;
Identify gaps in the Company’s skills base and expertise required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company; and
Continue to develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.

 

We have engaged a third-party financial operations consulting firm to assist with the preparation of SEC reporting.

 

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On July 8, 2020, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico (“Calvanico”), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum of $600,000 in alleged stock value, plus interest, recovery of past and future wages, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages (collectively, the “Calvanico Claims”). The Company denied all Calvanico Claims. The Company believes Calvanico is owed nothing because it takes the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019, in accordance with its terms, and was not renewed by the Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. On February 14, 2020, the Company requested in writing that Calvanico exercise his stock options within 30 days. Calvanico failed to do so. The Company and Calvanico engaged in binding arbitration which concluded on February 3, 2023. On June 20, 2023, the arbitrator decided in favor of the Company with respect to breach of contract, fraud and negligent representation and wrongful discharge and in favor of Calvanico for attorneys’ fees for Calvanico’s asserted claims in accordance with his employment agreement with the Company. A teleconference was set for July 18, 2023 for determination of the amount of attorneys’ fees to be awarded.

 

On March 29, 2019, the Company was served with a complaint filed by Superior Soils Supplements LLC (“Superior Soils”) in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Kings (Case #19C-0124) relating to 64 truckloads of soil amendments delivered to a customer by the Company on behalf of Superior Soils. Superior Soils alleged that the soil amendments were not labeled correctly requiring the entire shipment of product to be returned to the Company. The complaint alleges breach of contract, misrepresentations, fraudulent concealment and unfair competition. The complaint sought damages of approximately $400,000 and, although the Company vigorously defended such claims and believed there was little to no risk of liability, it accrued $400,000 for such risk. On April 28, 2023, the Company and Superior Soils entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release pursuant to which the Company paid $125,000 to Superior Soils and Superior Soils filed a dismissal with prejudice.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

There were no sales of equity securities during the period covered by this Report that were not registered under the Securities Act and were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company other than those noted below.

 

On April 14, 2023, Jeffrey Guzy, a director, converted $24,000 in accrued but unpaid director fees into 80,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share and 150,000 shares of common stock at $0.08 per share.

 

On April 14, 2023, Dr. Kimberly Kurtis, a director, converted $12,000 in accrued but unpaid director fees into 80,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share.

 

The above issuances did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering and we believe are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Corporate Overview

 

PureBase Corporation (“PureBase” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2010. The Company is an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States through its two subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PureBase AG”), and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PureBase SCM”), respectively.

 

The Company is headquartered in Ione, California.

 

Agricultural Sector

 

The Company develops specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture. The Company has developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of leonardite, kaolin clay, laterite, and other natural minerals. These mineral and soil amendments are used to protect crops, plants and fruits from the sun and winter damage, to provide nutrients to plants, and to improve dormancy and soil ecology to help farmers increase the yields of their harvests. The Company is building a brand family under the parent trade name “PureBase,” consisting of its PureBase Shade Advantage (WP) product, a kaolin-clay based sun protectant for crops and Humic Advantage, a humic acid product derived from leonardite.

 

Construction Sector

 

The Company has been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believes will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). The Company is developing an SCM that it believes can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, the Company believes there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction-materials sector.

 

The Company utilizes the services of US Mine Corporation (“USMC”), a Nevada corporation and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation, and product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC. A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors, and owners of USMC.

GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2023, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of $61,493,664 and working capital deficit of $387,334. For the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company had a loss from operations of $8,138,892 and negative cash flows from operations of $685,807. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2023. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses primarily with additional infusions of cash from advances from USMC and the sale of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

The Company’s plan, through the continued promotion of its products to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover its anticipated expenses. The Company is currently exploring several options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including future line of credits and issuances of equity securities or equity-linked securities to USMC and other third parties.

 

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including funding from USMC in connection with the March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement, March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement, and July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement provides for the issuance by the Company of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of two-year convertible promissory notes to USMC (See Note 6). The notes bear interest at 5% per annum and any outstanding principal or interest under the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.39 per share. Currently, the Company has issued $919,209 of convertible notes under the March 23, 2022 securities purchase agreement and may issue an additional $80,791 of convertible notes. The March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement provides for the issuance by the Company of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of two-year convertible promissory notes to USMC (See Note 6). The notes bear interest at 8% per annum and any outstanding principal or interest under the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. Currently, the Company has issued $412,533 of convertible notes under the March 7, 2023 securities purchase agreement and may issue an additional $587,467 of convertible notes under such agreement. The July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement provides for the issuance for up to one year of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of advances from USMC under an unsecured convertible grid promissory note (See Note 12). The note bears interest at 8% annum and any outstanding principal or accrued interest under the note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share on the maturity date. As of the date hereof, there have been no advances from USMC under the July 10, 2023 line of credit agreement. There currently are no other arrangements or agreements for financing, and management cannot guarantee any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease its operations completely.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2023 with the SEC. The results of the six months ended May 31, 2023 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries PureBase AG and PureBase SCM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and equity-based transactions at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 

Revenue

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives revenues from the sale of products from its agricultural sector and construction sector. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of risk of loss to the customer.

 

Practical Expedients

 

As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including:

 

  Significant Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
  Unsatisfied and Partially Unsatisfied Performance Obligations – for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period.
  Shipping and Handling Activities – the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.
  Right to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

 

 

Disaggregated Revenue

 

Revenue consists of the following by product offering for the six months ended May 31, 2023:

 

CROP WHITE II   SHADE ADVANTAGE (WP)   SulFe Hume Si ADVANTAGE   Total 
              
$                   -   $               67,152   $            51,480   $       118,632 

 

Revenue consists of the following by product offering for the six months ended May 31, 2022:

 

CROP WHITE II   SHADE ADVANTAGE (WP)   SulFe Hume Si ADVANTAGE   Total 
              
$192,780   $       35,696   $                         -   $   228,476 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. As of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

 

Property and Equipment

 

 Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.

 

Equipment 3-5 years
Autos and trucks 5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. The Company currently has $620,000 in property and equipment, primarily two ball mills, acquired on May 1, 2020. As of May 31, 2023, the Company has not put the acquired property and equipment to use. As such, the Company has not recorded depreciation related to these assets.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. The Company did not incur shipping and handling costs during the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $2,000 and no shipping and handling costs during the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $2,643 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023. There were no advertising and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
   
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
   
Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company’s debt and interest payable on the notes based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2023 and 2022. All outstanding options are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, outstanding options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022.

 

 

The following table summarizes the stocks that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common stock:

 

   Three Months Ended,

Convertible Notes   6,656,110    - 
Stock Options   128,688,187    1,595,000 
Total   135,344,297    1,595,000

Stock Options   128,688,187    59,595,000 
Total   135,344,297    59,595,000 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

For stock options issued to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options as noted above.

 

Leases

 

With the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

 

The Company leases its corporate offices. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company is a party to a two-year lease with USMC for 1,000 square feet of office space located in Ione, California (the “Ione Lease”) with respect to its corporate operations (See Note 7). Effective November 1, 2022, the Ione Lease was amended to extend the lease through October 2024 and to add an additional 700 square feet of office space for a total monthly rental price of $3,500 per month, with automatic one-month renewals. The remaining weighted average term is 1.4 years. The Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at December 1, 2020. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 5%.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases. See Note 7 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Exploration Stage

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. As of May 31, 2023, the Company was not engaged in any mine exploration.

 

Mineral Rights

 

Acquisition costs of mineral rights are capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study. Expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed as incurred and expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which subsequent expenditures relating to development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.

 

Where proven and probable reserves have been established, the project’s capitalized expenditures are depleted over proven and probable reserves upon commencement of production using the units-of-production method. Where proven and probable reserves have not been established, such capitalized expenditures are depleted over the estimated production life upon commencement of extraction using the straight-line method.

 

 

The carrying values of the mineral rights are assessed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis or when indicators of impairment exist. Should management determine that these carrying values cannot be recovered, the unrecoverable amounts are written off against earnings. As of May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized mineral rights.

MINING RIGHTS

NOTE 4 – MINING RIGHTS

 

Snow White Mine located in San Bernardino County, CA – Deposit

 

On November 28, 2014 US Mining and Minerals Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement in which it agreed to sell its fee simple property interest and certain mining claims to USMC. In contemplation of the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, on December 1, 2014, USMC, assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to the Company pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Assignment, the Company assumed the purchaser position under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement involves the sale of approximately 280 acres of mining property containing 5 placer mining claims known as the Snow White Mine located near Barstow, California in San Bernardino County. The property is covered by a Conditional Use Permit allowing the mining of the property and a Plan of Operation and Reclamation Plan has been approved by San Bernardino County and Bureau of Land Management. An initial deposit of $50,000 was paid to the Company and held in escrow, and the Purchase Agreement required the payment of an additional $600,000 at the end of the escrow period. There was a delay in the original seller, Joseph Richard Matthewson, receiving a clear title to the property and a fully permitted project, both of which were conditions to the closing of the sale from US Mining and Minerals Corporation to the Company. In light of the foregoing, and the payment of an additional $25,000, the parties agreed to extend the closing. Due to delays in the Company securing the necessary funding to close the purchase of the Snow White Mine property, John Bremer, a shareholder and a director of the Company, paid $575,000 to acquire the property interest and mining claims on or about October 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer agreed to transfer title to the Company upon payment of $575,000 plus expenses to Mr. Bremer, however, the Company is under no obligation to do so. The mining claims require a minimum royalty payment of $3,500 per year to be made by the Company, which is paid by USMC.

 

On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Bremer Family 1995 Living Trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to which the Company will purchase the Snow White Mine for $836,000 (the “Purchase Price”) from the Trust. The Purchase Price plus 5% interest is payable in full in cash at closing. On April 14, 2022, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to April 14, 2023. On April 7, 2023 the agreement was further amended to extend the Closing Date to April 1, 2024.

Legal Matters

 

On July 8, 2020, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico (“Calvanico”), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum of $600,000 in alleged stock value, plus interest, recovery of past and future wages, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages (collectively, the “Calvanico Claims”). The Company denied all Calvanico Claims. The Company believes Calvanico is owed nothing because it takes the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019, in accordance with its terms, and was not renewed by the Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. On February 14, 2020, the Company requested in writing that Calvanico exercise his stock options within 30 days. Calvanico failed to do so. The Company and Calvanico engaged in binding arbitration which concluded on February 3, 2023. On June 20, 2023, the arbitrator decided in favor of the Company with respect to breach of contract, fraud and negligent representation and wrongful discharge and in favor of Calvanico for attorneys’ fees for Calvanico’s asserted claims in accordance with his employment agreement with the Company. A teleconference was set for July 18, 2023 for determination of the amount of attorneys’ fees to be awarded.

Superior Soils alleged that the soil amendments were not labeled correctly requiring the entire shipment of product to be returned to the Company. The complaint alleges breach of contract, misrepresentations, fraudulent concealment and unfair competition. The complaint sought damages of approximately $400,000 and, although the Company vigorously defended such claims and believed there was little to no risk of liability, it accrued $400,000 for such risk.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2023 with the SEC. The results of the six months ended May 31, 2023 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries PureBase AG and PureBase SCM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and equity-based transactions at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 

Revenue

Revenue

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives revenues from the sale of products from its agricultural sector and construction sector. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of risk of loss to the customer.

 

Practical Expedients

 

As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including:

 

  Significant Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
  Unsatisfied and Partially Unsatisfied Performance Obligations – for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period.
  Shipping and Handling Activities – the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.
  Right to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. As of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

 Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.

 

Equipment 3-5 years
Autos and trucks 5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. The Company currently has $620,000 in property and equipment, primarily two ball mills, acquired on May 1, 2020. As of May 31, 2023, the Company has not put the acquired property and equipment to use. As such, the Company has not recorded depreciation related to these assets.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022.

 

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and Handling

 

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. The Company did not incur shipping and handling costs during the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $2,000 and no shipping and handling costs during the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $2,643 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023. There were no advertising and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
   
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
   
Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company’s debt and interest payable on the notes based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

Loss Per Common Share

Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2023 and 2022. All outstanding options are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, outstanding options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022.

 

 

The following table summarizes the stocks that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common stock:

Convertible Notes   6,656,110    -

Total   135,344,297    59,595,000 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

For stock options issued to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options as noted above.

 

Leases

Leases

 

With the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

 

The Company leases its corporate offices. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company is a party to a two-year lease with USMC for 1,000 square feet of office space located in Ione, California (the “Ione Lease”) with respect to its corporate operations (See Note 7). Effective November 1, 2022, the Ione Lease was amended to extend the lease through October 2024 and to add an additional 700 square feet of office space for a total monthly rental price of $3,500 per month, with automatic one-month renewals. The remaining weighted average term is 1.4 years. The Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at December 1, 2020. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 5%.

 

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases. See Note 7 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Exploration Stage

Exploration Stage

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. As of May 31, 2023, the Company was not engaged in any mine exploration.

 

Mineral Rights

Mineral Rights

 

Acquisition costs of mineral rights are capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study. Expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed as incurred and expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which subsequent expenditures relating to development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.

 

Where proven and probable reserves have been established, the project’s capitalized expenditures are depleted over proven and probable reserves upon commencement of production using the units-of-production method. Where proven and probable reserves have not been established, such capitalized expenditures are depleted over the estimated production life upon commencement of extraction using the straight-line method.

 

 

The carrying values of the mineral rights are assessed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis or when indicators of impairment exist. Should management determine that these carrying values cannot be recovered, the unrecoverable amounts are written off against earnings. As of May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized mineral rights.
