OROPLATA RESOURCES, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2018
(unaudited)
1.Organization and Nature of Operations
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Oroplata Resources, Inc. and its subsidiary (“Oroplata” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 6, 2011 for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary called Oroplata Exploraciones E Ingenieria SRL, which was incorporated in the Dominican Republic on January 10, 2012. On July 26, 2016, the Company incorporated Lithortech Resources Inc., a Nevada company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. On June 29, 2018, Lithortech Resources Inc. changed its name to LithiumOre Corp. The Company currently holds mineral rights in the Dominican Republic and in the Western Nevada Basin of Nye County in the state of Nevada.
Going Concern
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2018, the Company has not earned revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,640,486, and an accumulated deficit of $39,835,140. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. If the Company is able to obtain financing, there is no certainty that terms will be favorable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is September 30.
(b)Principles of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oroplata Exploraciones E Ingenieria SRL and Lithortech Resources Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in the Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Background
We are a start-up, lithium exploration mining company whose purpose is to explore mineral properties which, hopefully, will contain lithium and other economic minerals. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 6, 2011 for the purpose of acquiring rights to mineral properties with the eventual objective of being a producing mineral company, if and when it ever occurs. We have limited operating history and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our activities. Our principal executive offices are located at 930 Tahoe Blvd., Suite 802-16, Incline Village, NV 89451.
Currently, the Board of Directors (consisting of Mr. Douglas Cole, Mr. Douglas MacLellan and Mr. William Hunter) are significantly involved in guiding the Company though a significant management reorganization, and to reorient the company’s goals and objective to solely focus on the exploration and development of Lithium deposits in the State of Nevada and related projects, primarily through new capital commitments which the Mr. Cole is actively seeking.
On August 8, 2016, the Company formed Lithortech Resources Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to serve as its operating subsidiary for lithium resource exploration and development. On June 29, 2018, the Company changed the name of Lithortech Resources to Lithiumore Corp. (“Lithiumore”). Lithiumore currently has mining claims on 5200 acres in the area known as the Western Nevada Basin, situated in Railroad Valley in Nye County, Nevada (the “WNB Claim”). In the second half of 2017, we engaged experts to evaluate the region and the WNB Claim to target on-site exploration efforts and determined that 260 claims of the WNB Claim were appropriate for the Company’s planned exploration, which we expect to begin in the second or third quarter of 2018. With many features similar to Clayton Valley and with no exploration work targeting lithium to date, Railroad Valley represents a new and untested target for lithium brine. The Railroad Valley brine exploration can build on both the dense existing oil field data and the experiences at Clayton Valley and other Li-brine basins to target potential brine aquifers. Please see the Company’s new website at: www.lithiumore.net.
The growth in demand for lithium batteries is predicted to far outpace lithium production in the coming decade. Lithium-ion batteries for the automotive industry are expected to advance demand to nearly unserviceable levels. These industry trends enhance the Company’s new business model.
The Company is currently a pre-revenue organization and we do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have undertaken sufficient exploration work to identify Lithium and or other battery metals reserves. Exploration work will take several years and there is no certainty we will ever reach a production stage. Our Company is considered to be in the exploration stage due to not having done exploration work which would result in a development decision. On January 25, 2019, we completed the purchase of 113 acres in Railroad Valley, NV to be used for possible future exploration. Other than mineral rights in the Nye County properties located in Nevada, United States, the only real property owned by the Company is the Railroad Valley property recently acquired.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
allowance to provide only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.
We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering (our “IPO”); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you have beneficial ownership. In addition, we have elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Employees
Other than our Board of Directors that are engaged by the Company as a consultant and our one officer, Mr. Cole, we do not have any employees. Our officer is involved full time in the operation of the Company’s business.
Investigation of Prior Agreements.
At the request of the Board of Directors, the Company is reviewing all prior agreements and stock issuances of the Company entered into by the previous management of the Company to ensure their validity.
Oroplata has not realized any revenue from its exploration activities on the Mogollon concession or the Nye County properties and it is extremely doubtful that the mineral property will be able to produce any revenue for many years. Without an ore reserve Oroplata cannot seek substantial investors to further fund the Company so that production can be achieved. Not until commercial production is realized will Oroplata have any chance of recognizing any form of revenue.
Results of Operations
Revenues
During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has not realized any revenues.
Expenses
Three Months Ended December 31, 2018
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred $1,162,216 of operating expenses compared to $2,493,828 of operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in operating expenses is due to a decrease in stock-based compensation as the Company issued 3,300,000 shares with a fair value of $504,750 for compensation compared to 19,000,000 shares with a fair value of $1,900,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is offset by a general increase in operating expenses due to an increase in operating activity as the Company has initiated more work to marketing and promotion as well as day-to-day costs with respect to its lithium properties and the proposed joint venture agreement with CINC Industries that was signed during the current period.
In addition to operating expenses, the Company incurred interest and accretion expense of $277,690, loss on settlement of debt of $421,745 relating to conversion of convertible notes during the period, and a loss of $708,155 relating to the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the period. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred interest and accretion expense of $24,149.
Net Loss
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,569,806 or $0.03 loss per share compared to a net loss of $2,517,977 or $0.04 loss per share during the three months ended December 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $52,717 and total assets of $168,967 compared to cash of $122,769 and total assets of $308,769 as at September 30, 2018. The decrease in cash was due to the use of proceeds received from issuance of convertible notes to finance operating activity including the repayment of $180,000 of notes payable during the period. In addition to the decrease in cash, there was a decrease in prepaid expense of $105,000 due to the services rendered for the prepayment of consulting and management fees from the issuance of common shares in previous periods. The decrease was offset by an increase of $35,250 for the common shares issued as part of the joint venture agreement with CINC Industries in October 2018.
The Company had total current liabilities of $3,774,203 at December 31, 2018 compared to $1,327,646 at September 30, 2018. The increase in liabilities is due to an increase in derivative liabilities of $1,335,997 for the fair value of the conversion feature on convertible debentures and is due to an increase in the number of convertible notes issued compared to September 30, 2018, and an increase in amounts due to related parties of $50,210 for unpaid management and consulting fees to officers and directors of the Company. The increase was offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $15,315 and a decrease in the carrying value of notes payable of $337,970 as the Company entered into four new convertible notes during the period which carries large discounts due to the fair value of the conversion feature at the inception of the notes. As at December 31, 2018, the Company has $1,442,971 of face value of convertible notes compared to $1,380,822 of face value of convertible notes as at September 30, 2018.
As at December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,640,486 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,018,877 at September 30, 2018. The increase in the working capital deficit was due to the fact that the Company financed its operating costs, through the issuance of convertible debentures and did not earn any cash flow from operating activities.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 3,300,000 common shares for services with a fair value of $504,750, issued 5,653,660 common shares to convert outstanding notes payable and accrued interest of $430,550, and issued 250,000 common shares with a fair value of $35,250 for compensation as part of the joint venture agreement with CINC Industries.
As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company does not have any issued or outstanding stock options.
Cash Flows
Cash from Operating Activities.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company used $518,802 of cash for operating activities as compared to $141,932 during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was due to the fact that the Company raised more funding from financing activities which allowed them to incur more operating costs to further the Company’s development and operations.
Cash from Investing Activities
During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any investing activities.
Cash from Financing Activities
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $628,750 of funding from the issuance of convertible notes payable offset by repayment of notes payable of $180,000 compared to proceeds received of $175,000 from convertible notes during the three months ended December 31, 2017.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In presenting Oroplata's financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepting accounting principles, or GAAP, Oroplata is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures.
18
Some of the estimates and assumptions Oroplata is required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. Oroplata bases these estimates and assumptions on historical experience or on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, Oroplata reconsiders and evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
Oroplata believes that the critical accounting policies listed below involve its more significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and, therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on its financial statements. In addition, Oroplata believes that a discussion of these policies is necessary to understand and evaluate the financial statements contained in this filing.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
Mineral claim acquisition and exploration costs
The cost of acquiring mineral properties or claims is initially capitalized and then tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Oroplata utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Oroplata does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, The Company contracts with an independent firm to review and test its internal controls. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In January 2018, the Company filed a complaint in Nevada seeking the return or cancellation of 16 million common shares which the Company believes were fraudulently issued as well as claims against the former CEO of the Company, Craig Alford. The Company has entered into agreements to cancel eleven million shares. The remaining five million shares were cancelled and reissued after the Company determined that the recipients provided proper consideration for such shares. The litigation continues against Alford and certain other relief defendants. Alford has filed a counterclaim against the Company for amounts allegedly owed to him that the Company believes is entirely without merit. Other than the preceding, to the best of our knowledge, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are deemed to be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
We are required by Section 78.090 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") to maintain a registered agent in the State of Nevada. Our registered agent for this purpose is United Corporate Services, Inc., 2520 St Rose Pkwy Suite 319, Henderson, NV 89074. All legal process and any demand or notice authorized by law to be served upon us may be served upon our registered agent in the State of Nevada in the manner provided in NRS 14.020(2).
