Item 1. Business

 

Background

 

We are a start-up company, engaged in the exploration, mining, extraction and recycling of battery metals. 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.

 

We are actively exploring and drilling for lithium-rich brines and deposits from the Company’s claims covering 30,000 acres in Railroad Valley, Nevada.

 

In our laboratory located in Silver Springs, Nevada, we have started developing a proprietary extraction technology to harvest lithium from brine for refinement into battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide.

 

In an incubator space provided by BASF Corporation and located in Greentown, Massachusetts, we began, in the first quarter of the 2020 fiscal year, to develop a closed-loop battery recycling process that separates and recovers each individual elemental metal from end-of-life batteries, as well as from defects and waste from battery manufacturing facilities. These recovered metals will be refined up to battery-grade specifications and then sold.

 

Currently, the Board of Directors (consisting of Mr. Douglas Cole, Mr. Douglas MacLellan and Mr. William Hunter) are involved in guiding the Company’s goals and objectives to solely focus on the exploration, extraction and recycling of Lithium (Li) and other battery metal deposits in the State of Nevada, primarily through new capital commitments which 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”).

 

On May 3, 2019, the Company changed its name to American Battery Metals Corporation (“ABMC”) and reorganized into three divisions; Battery Metals Mining, Battery Metals Extraction and Battery Metals Recycling. ABMC currently has 1,300 mining claims on 30,000 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 onsite exploration efforts and determined that the claims of the WNB Claim were appropriate for the Company’s planned exploration, which we began in the first half of 2019. 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 Lithium brine basins to target potential brine aquifers. Please see the Company’s website for more information: www.batterymetals.com.

 

The growth in demand for lithium batteries is predicted by industry researchers to outpace lithium production in the coming decade. Lithium-ion batteries for the automotive industry are expected to advance demand beyond current supply. These industry trends support and validate 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.

 

Market and Industry

 

Lithium is extracted from primarily two sources: pegmatite crystals and lithium salts from brine pools. Currently, the world’s top producers of Lithium are located in Australia, Chile, Argentina, and China.

 

In 2018, worldwide Lithium production totaled approximately 85,000 metric tons, with the top 3 countries contributing roughly 89% of the global production. Most of the world’s lithium supply is produced by three companies: Albemarle Corporation, FMC Corporation, and Chile’s Sociedad Quimica Y Minera de Chile (SQM). Ganfeng and Tianqi of China are major players.

Much of the current production of Lithium in Australia is derived from conventional mining techniques of ancient Precambrian rocks containing Lithium ore which is crushed and fed into capital intensive processing plants which upgrade the lithium mineral using gravity, flotation, magnetic and roasting purification processes.

 

Alternatively, Lithium production from Chile and Argentina uses a much less capital intense extraction method. Lithium is located beneath various salt flats. The Lithium is leached from nearby source rocks and becomes concentrated in salty brines just under the surface. The Lithium enriched brines are then pumped up to settle in multiple of shallow surface evaporation pools which produces a thicker Lithium rich liquid. That liquid is treated with sodium carbonate, which creates lithium carbonate.

 

Lithium is a soft silver-white metal. With an atomic number of 3, it is the lightest of the all metals. Lightweight Lithium has many applications but the metal is a perfect replacement of the much heavier Nickel used in most large batteries. Lithium-ion batteries also have a high charge density, a longer life and are rechargeable.

 

The Lithium market has typically been dominated by the ceramic and medical sectors, however recently the demand for Lithium for the battery markets- to fuel electric vehicles and energy storage applications- outstripped any other sector.

 

The primary lithium-ion battery manufacturers by capacity are: CATL, BYD, Tesla, Panasonic of Japan, and LG Chem of South Korea.

 

Lithium is not currently traded on any commodity exchanges, but rather is usually distributed in a chemical form such as lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and sold directly to end users for a negotiated price per ton of Lithium carbonate.

 

General Market Analysis

 

Lithium-ion batteries have become the rechargeable battery of choice in cell phones, computers, electric cars and now larger scale electric storage. The growth in demand for lithium batteries is predicted to far outpace lithium production in the coming decade; in particular, Lithium-ion batteries for the automotive industry is expected to continue to drive demand beyond supply.

 

Recently, Japan and South Korea have both recorded high levels of Lithium-ion battery exports as auto companies’ ramp up battery consumption to power all-electric vehicle sales. China has the most electric vehicles on the road, but both European and North American auto manufacturers are committed to significantly increasing EV sales by 2025. In November 2019, Ford unveiled its long awaited fully electric Mustang-styled SUV.

 

Goldman Sachs predicted that the market consumption could very well triple from the current production by 2025. Just a 1% increase of Electric Vehicles hitting the market could increase lithium demand by roughly half of the current production of lithium today.

 

SQM’s CEO Patricio de Solminihac said in a 2018 interview with Reuters that the company would invest $525 million in order to expand its lithium production in Chile through 2021, due to the high demand for electric vehicle batteries. FMC and Albemarle have decided not to wait either. FMC announced in May 2017 it would triple its production of lithium hydroxide by 2019, increasing to 30,000 tons from 10,000. Albemarle also announced it would be increasing production of lithium carbonate to 70,000 tons from 24,000 over a few years.

 

Tesla’s mile long Gigafactory started producing powerful Lithium-ion batteries in January 2017 with its partner Panasonic. The Gigafactory will supply batteries for the 500,000 cars Tesla hopes to produce by the end of the decade, as well as to power homes. Also, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GM, BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Saturn, Tesla and Toyota have all announced plans to build lithium-ion battery powered cars. After Tesla released the Model 3 in July 2017, there have been over 500,000 reservations for the vehicle and production is starting 2 years ahead of schedule. Elon Musk has stated that Tesla will have to acquire the entire lithium market to meet the current demands. Thus, the global lithium market is approaching shortages, which has made it a useful commodity and mineral explorers have launched efforts to locate and bring new suppliers to the marketplace.

 

Lithium brine exploration and development has proven to be much more cost effective and faster to be put into production than the hard rock mine counterparts. Lithium brine deposits are considered placer deposits and are easier to gain mining permits for. Brine is also a liquid which means that drilling to find it is more akin to drilling for water or oil. It’s also typically located relatively close to surface, which limits the depth of required drilling. Once a Lithium Brine is found, the reserve data is more straightforward to understand and quantify.

 

As the brines are found in large flat areas, the construction of numerous flat evaporation pools or direct solvent extraction can be achieved at relatively low cost. Environmental impact is minimized as the excess residual brines can be pumped back into the salt flats.

In Summary:

 

Historically, lithium demand came from industrial sectors manufacturing greases, glass, and ceramics. The processing of lithium for industrial applications requires lower specification products.

 

The introduction of the lithium-ion battery for consumer electronics, EV, and energy storage applications changed the demand dynamic; the batteries for e-mobility and energy storage now dominate current and future demand for lithium. Electric vehicles will continue to require vast amounts of lithium with higher grade and purities.

 

Electric Vehicle OEM are increasingly quality-conscious, and develop close relationships to the modern “megafactories” that supply them with battery cells. In order to consistently supply the desired high nickel cathodes, megafactories need high purity raw materials - particularly lithium - to create low impurity lithium hydroxide.

 

In the United States, there are not currently enough chemical producers in operation to meet existing or future standards; battery grade hydroxide production is quite small as compared to the whole lithium supply chain. To meet market demand, this segment must quickly grow in the short term, at an estimated rate of 35-40% between now and 2025.

 

In 2019, explanations for the drop in the price of lithium were erroneously attributed to the “oversupply myth.” The reality is that there is not “too much lithium” in production but rather that there is not enough battery grade lithium hydroxide to meet market demand to fuel the explosive projections for Electric Vehicles.

 

Existing producers know that aside from handling and limited shelf life, consistently producing battery grade hydroxide within "spec,” while meeting the qualification challenges going forward will require significantly more high-grade lithium products. This will require new resources of raw materials, which demands investment in new exploration and mining projects.

 

Competition

 

We compete with other mining/exploration and battery recycling companies, many of which possess greater financial resources and technical facilities than we do, in connection with the acquisition of suitable exploration properties, building and operating process plants and in connection with the engagement of qualified personnel. The lithium exploration/mining and battery recycling industries are fragmented, and we are a very small participant in these sectors. Many of our competitors have been in business longer than we have and have established more strategic partnerships and relationships and have greater financial accessibility than we have.

 

While we compete with other exploration companies in acquiring suitable properties, we believe that there would be readily available purchasers of lithium and other precious metals if they were to be produced from any of our leased properties. The price of precious metals can be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including:

 

fluctuations in the market prices for lithium; 

fluctuating supplies of lithium; 

fluctuating demand for lithium; and 

mining activities of others. 

 

If lithium mineralization that is determined to be of economic grade and in sufficient quantity to justify production were located, additional capital would be required to develop, mine and sell our production.

Item 2. Properties.

 

Description of Properties

 

LithiumOre, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, currently has 1,040 placer mining claims on over 20,000 acres in the area known as the Western Nevada Basin, situated in Railroad Valley in Nye County, Nevada. We do not currently have any partnership agreements or royalty agreements in connection with such claims.

 

We own a 120-acre property with water rights, in the town of Duckwater, NV near Railroad Valley, which we acquired for exploratory purposes and was fully impaired in prior years. It will act as a base for such operations for the Company.

 

We lease from the Bureau of Land Management our Western Nevada Basin Claim where we are exploring and drilling for possible lithium-rich brine.

 

The Western Nevada Basin (WNB) Claim is located in east central Nye County, Nevada (Figure 1) approximately 93 miles northeast of the county seat of Tonopah, NV, the major commercial center for the region; 56 miles southwest of the town of Ely, NV and 120 miles northeast of the village of Silver Peak the only currently operating Lithium producer in the State.

Document1.jpg 

Figure 2. The Western Nevada Basin Claim covers just over 30,000 acres. It consists of a total of one thousand three hundred (1,300) placer claims. Each claim covers approximately 20 acres and was laid out by aliquot parts as required by the Bureau of Land Management.

 

Lithium is a locatable mineral according to the Code of Federal Regulations. Rights to Lithium are to be held by lode claims where it occurs in bedrock and by placer claims where it occurs in sediments. A body of legal precedence set during the original development of lithium brines in the area provides that lithium in valley sediments by nature of the unconsolidated host rock are staked by and produced from placer claims.

 

The WNB Claim is held by 1,300 twenty-acre placer claims, which are located on public Federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The placer claims are located on U.S. Surveyed lands and fit to aliquot parts.

 

In Nevada the claim staking procedure requires recording documents with both the county Recorder’s Office and the state BLM office. Claims must be held by posts at the claims four corners and Notice of Location which describe the claims legal description of location and owner. The claims are required to be recorded at the county courthouse within the proper jurisdiction within 90 days from the staking date.

 

Placer claims on Federal lands are held to a September 1 to August 31 assessment year when Intent to Hold or Proof of Labor documents need to be filed with the county for the annual assessment work. The pertinent documents are filed with the Nye County Recorder’s Office.

260 claims were staked by the third Party, Plateau Ventures LLC of Moab, Utah and 1,040 claims were staked by 3 Proton Lithium, Inc. of Carson City, Nevada. Official rights to the claims by ABMC are subject to Quit Claim Deed Transfer Approval by BLM. ABMC received full entitlement to its claims in the Western Nevada Basin by way of the Quit Claim Deeds on January 2, 2017 (260 claims), August 13, 2018, (40 claims) and August 28, 2018 (1,000 claims). The current annual maintenance fee is $155 per 20-acre (or a portion thereof) placer claim (http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/iac/miningfacts.html). Payment of those fees allows the claim to stay on the BLM active database. Non-payment results in the claims moving to ‘closed’ status.

 

Before August 31st of each year, a payment of $155 per claim is made to the BLM to hold the claims in good standing for the following assessment year. The total cost for the 1,300 WNB Claims was $203,260. In August 2017, the Company paid $42,060 to the BLM for 260 Claims. In August 2018, the Company paid $6,200 to the BLM for 40 Claims, and $155,000 to the BLM for 1,000 Claims. These fees were also paid in 2018 and 2019 in order to maintain the current mining claims. When fees are paid a claim is deemed ‘active’. Active and approved claims are Before October 31st of each year, it is necessary to make a payment to Nye County, NV, of $10 per claim to file an affidavit of assessment fees paid and notice of intent to hold the claims into the next assessment year. The total cost for the current 1,300 WNB claims is $13,000. Payments to the County of $15,586 are current as of October 31, 2019.

 

As public lands, there is right of free access and both surface and mineral rights are held by the Federal government. Public records (Management, Bureau of Land) show no military withdrawals or Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. The Railroad Valley Wildlife Management Area is located to the west of the WNB claim boundary and has no effect on any planned work on the WNB claim area.

 

There is free access to the Federal land in Railroad Valley and there are no restrictions on casual prospecting. New exploration drilling will trigger a permitting process. There are two major levels of permitting: Notice of Intent (NOI) and Plan of Operations (POO). Historically, if the proposed disturbance was less than 5 acres or 1,000 tons, then the work can proceed under a NOI if there are no complications such as ancient ruins or endangered species. Application for a NOI is relatively simple with requirements like bonding the access route and re-seeding afterwards. A NOI is valid for two years and may be renewed every two years. Maintaining it requires maintaining bonds and reclaiming any new disturbance which includes re-seeding vegetation in disturbed areas when the work is complete. A POO is more complicated requiring more in-depth studies including an archeological survey, and comprehensive environmental assessments as required by the National Environmental Protection Act. The BLM may respond within 15 days to a NOI application whereas a POO may require several months to years for final acceptance.

 

Any drilling planned will require a NOI filed with the Tonopah office of the BLM. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no known environmental liabilities to which the property is subject or other significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property. The NOI permit for the drilling site was approved on July 13, 2018.

 

Accessibility

 

The main route of access to the WNB project is Nevada State U.S. Route 6 which provides all year access to Railroad Valley and the project area. U.S. Route 6 provides direct access to the two nearby commercial centers; Tonopah, located southwest of the project at the junction of Routes 6 and 95, approximately 90 minutes away, and Ely, a slightly larger commercial center with a population of over 4,200 approximately, located northeast of the project approximately 60 minutes away. US Highway 95 is the main highway linking Las Vegas and Reno, the two largest metropolitan areas in Nevada.

 

Climate

 

Railroad Valley is in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The region is arid to almost semiarid. Winters are cold while summers are hot. Average annual precipitation is approximately 5 inches; however, variations occur at differing altitudes. Exploration can be conducted in the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

 

Local Resources

 

The Railroad Valley contains several small communities; which include Currant, Crows Nest, Green Springs, Lockes, and Nyala. Electrical power is available within the valley area.

 

The larger population centers of Ely and Tonopah are connected via U.S. Route 6 to the project area. Tonopah has a population of approximately 2,500 and is the governmental center for the region. Ely has a population of approximately 4,200 and is the closest commercial center. Groceries, hardware, a bank and a choice of motels and restaurants are available in both Ely and Tonopah.

 

The area has a long history of mining. Mining personnel can be sourced mostly from the larger towns of Tonopah or Ely.

Infrastructure

 

A reasonable network of 4x4, graded and paved roads connects the claim area to the rest of Nevada. Electrical power is available at several sites throughout the valley and could easily provide power to any operation at the project area. The nearest rail and large commercial airline service are in Las Vegas, NV approximately 169 miles to the south.

 

Physiography

 

Railroad Valley is one of the longest topographically closed drainage basins in Nevada, extending more than 110 miles in a north-south direction and up to 20 miles wide. This valley is one of the Central Nevada Desert Basins in the Tonopah Basin. The southern end of the valley begins near Gray Top Mountain (7,036 feet) and stretches north all the way to Mount Hamilton (10,745 feet). The mountain masses are dominated by the White Pine, Grant and Quinn Canyon ranges east of the valley.

 

Railroad Valley comprises an area of approximately 2,750 square miles. Two large flat areas occur within the valley. The claims are located on the large Northern flat area of the valley floor at elevations generally of 4400 – 4700 feet. The valley floor is characterized by subdued topography with washes eroding into slightly older valley-fill sediments.

 

The claims are located on the flat areas where vegetation is scarce. There is sufficient surface area for recovery and processing facilities within the Claims.

 

Geologic Setting

 

The claims are located in the Basin and Range physiographic province which stretches from southern Oregon and Idaho to Mexico. It is characterized by extreme elevation changes between mountains and flat intermountain valleys or basins.

 

Plate tectonics powered by crustal spreading broadly generates two types of forces: compression as plates are moved together and extension as those forces relax. Compression was the dominant geologic force affecting the western United States beginning about 200 million years ago as the Pacific Ocean plate moved eastward under the North American continental plate. Those forces compressed the overlying pile of sedimentary rocks accumulated over hundreds of millions of years into a thick stack reaching up to elevations of 14,000 feet, similar to the altiplano of Mexico and South America which formed at the same time from similar forces. That highland plateau stretched west – east from the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California to the Wasatch Range in Utah.

 

Extension became the dominant force beginning in the Eocene - Oligocene epochs approximately 55 to 25 million years ago. Also, the relative movement of the tectonic plates changed about 30 million years ago with the movement becoming more oblique to the continent. This relaxed the compressional forces and also tended to ‘tear’ the crust apart, creating diagonal extensions.

 

The resulting compressional and extensional tectonics have created throughout Nevada a classical Basin and Range province consisting of narrow, N- to NE-trending, fault block mountain chains separated by flat linear valleys. This geological pattern is repeated across the State and has created a number of currently arid, ‘trapped’ or closed basins with respect to drainage that have the potential of containing Lithium Brine deposits.

 

Geology of Lithium Brines

 

Lithium brine deposits are accumulations of saline groundwater that are enriched in dissolved lithium. All producing lithium brine deposits share a number of first-order characteristics:

 

(1) arid climate;

(2) closed basin containing a salt flat (also known as a Playa or Salar);

(3) tectonically driven subsidence;

(4) associated igneous or geothermal activity;

(5) suitable lithium source-rocks;

(6) one or more adequate aquifers; and

(7) sufficient time to concentrate a brine.

 

The single most important factor determining if a nonmarine basin can accumulate lithium brine is whether or not the basin is closed.

 

Lithium enriched brines are formed by complex processes that include: evaporation, re-mobilization, salt and lithium clay dissolution and precipitation. In essence, lithium is liberated through weathering or derived from hydrothermal fluids from a variety of rock sources within a closed basin where Lithium, a lightweight element, cannot escape.


11


 

 

Lithium is highly soluble and, unlike sodium (Na), potassium (K), or calcium (Ca), does not readily produce evaporite minerals when concentrated by evaporation. Instead it ends up in residual brines in the shallow subsurface. Economic brines have Li concentrations in the range of 200 to 4,000 milligrams per liter (mg/l). 1 mg/l = 1 ppm.

 

Clayton Valley contains the only currently producing Lithium Brine project in Nevada. Production has been on-going since 1967. The production at Clayton Valley is located approximately 120 miles west of the Railroad Valley. Evidence from Clayton Valley suggests that felsic vitric tuffs are a particularly favorable primary source of Lithium as well, uplifted Neogene lake beds from earlier in the basin’s history, which have been altered to hectorite, may provide a source of Lithium.

Railroad Valley has produced about 44 million barrels of oil (MMBO) from nine petroleum fields and has been extensively studied to determine relations between structure and oil production. Several interpretations of basin configuration have evolved, based on improved seismic acquisition and processing and better understanding of deformation styles and kinetics.

 

Oil was first discovered at Railroad Valley by Shell Oil in 1954. Their first discovery well reached a depth of 10,360 feet and it was determined that there were commercial oil reserves at intervals between 6,450 and 6,730 feet. The valley area is essentially wedge shaped with the wedge increasing in thickness from west to east. A low-angle attenuation fault has been reported to underlie Railroad Valley which has been interpreted to be a result of asymmetric arching rather than a series of down-to-the-west high-angle normal faults.

 

The stratigraphy of the valley is known to contain Paleozoic platform carbonate rocks, Tertiary volcanic rocks, and Tertiary lacustrine sediments. In comparison to Clayton Valley, the Railroad Valley has a large endowment of Neogene volcanic flows and tophaceous rocks.

 

Oil exploration has reported several laterally continuous thick Lithium brine horizons throughout Railroad Valley. Testing for Lithium from the brines was not conducted by the oil industry. Good reservoir rocks for oil may not represent good reservoir hosts for Lithium. The underlying brine-waters of the Railroad Valley were at one time examined as a potential reservoir for Las Vegas.

 

Volcanic rocks form a large part of the Neogene rock sequence: ash-flow tuffs and basalt flows from major calderas in eastern and central Nevada. Thickness of the volcanic section can vary greatly because of Neogene erosion and faulting. The thickness of ash flow tuffs in Railroad Valley can range from less than 1,000 ft to more than 3,000 ft. These rocks have shown good porosity and may represent an enormous source for Lithium.

 

Tertiary lacustrine formations consist of varying proportions of fresh-water carbonate, shale, sandstone, and volcanic debris. To date, oil production from Tertiary lacustrine reservoirs is limited, but there is production from the Sheep Pass Formation in the Eagle Springs field, and formerly there was production from Currant field; both in Railroad Valley.

 

The northern Playa area of Railroad Valley contained a large lake during the Pleistocene Epoch, more than 7,000 years ago. The lake has subsequently evaporated within the valley; however, at one point it reportedly covered an area of over 525 square miles and attained a maximum depth of 315 feet. The large Railroad Valley north playa today is partly covered by young erosional alluvium.

 

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

 

The Railroad Valley has demonstrated enrichment in Lithium in the nearby dry sediments as evidenced from the NURE sample database from the U.S. Geologic Survey. However, the project is at an exploration stage. There are no lithium brine mineral resources or reserves for the property.

 

Exploration and Development

 

Exploration and Development would consist of direct sampling and analysis of Lithium both laterally and vertically across the project area from both volcanic horizons and underground Brines contained within the Playa. Drilling and mobilization represent the largest costs of the program. Every effort would be made to minimize costs and maximize the sampling of brine from either re-entry and perforation of ‘shut-in’ oil wells or testing of current water wells in the project area.

 

Exploration Time Table

 

The work for the initial phase exploration program will be designed over the following four to five months. Surficial sampling will be performed from February to March 2020 and Drilling and sampling from April to June. Analytical analysis will follow each program.

Item 3. 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. As a result, the Company entered into agreements to cancel eleven million shares (of which ten million shares have already been cancelled). 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.

 

In March 2019, a shareholder of the Company filed a lawsuit against the Company seeking removal of a securities law restrictive legend and damages related thereto. The Company is defending the claim. 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.

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

 

Market Information

 

Our shares of common stock are eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “ABML.” Quotations for our securities represent inter-dealer prices, without retail markups, markdowns or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

 

On December 20, 2019, the closing price of our Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets Group was $0.029 per share.

 

Holders

 

As of December 20, 2019, we have approximately 52 shareholders including our directors and officers. One such holder is Cede & Co., a nominee for Depository Trust Company, or DTC. Shares of Common Stock that are held by financial institutions as nominees for beneficial owners are deposited into participant accounts at DTC, and are considered to be held of record by Cede & Co. as one stockholder.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or 

our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution, unless otherwise permitted under our Articles of Incorporation. 

 

Stock Options, Warrants and Rights

 

As at September 30, 2019, ABMC has potentially issuable shares of common stock as follows:

 

8,925,334 potentially issuable shares of common stock from share purchase warrants issued with an exercise price that ranges from $0.001 to $0.10 per share; and 

In addition, the Company had 11,168,816 shares issuable based on convertible notes which have a conversion price based on a discount to the market price of the Company’s stock prior to conversion.  

 

Penny Stock

 

Our common stock is subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-9 thereunder, commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule”. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. We are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules. Since our common stock is deemed to be penny stock, trading in the shares of our common stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are generally persons with assets in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares.

Operating Revenues

 

During the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record any revenues from operations.

 

Operating Expenses and Net Loss

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred operating expenses of $10,486,623 compared to $5,588,730 during the year ended September 30, 2018. The increase in operating expenses is due to an increase in exploration costs of $809,382 relating to the Company’s additional work on the Nye County property, an increase of $3,057,834 of management and consulting fees which includes stock-based compensation costs, an increase of $131,324 for general and administrative expenses as the Company had more operating activity in the current year compared to the prior year, an increase of $451,254 of payroll costs for employees used by the Company, and $678,976 increase in legal fees due to use of a full time lawyer during the year and for the overall increase in business activity in the Company during the year. The increases were offset by a decrease of $153,200 for an impairment loss recorded in fiscal 2018 relating to capitalized mineral properties that were not supportable.

The Company incurred a net loss of $12,625,204 for the year ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of $6,048,092 for the year ended September 30, 2018. In addition to operating expenses, the Company incurred interest and accretion expense of $2,241,933 during the year ended September 30, 2019 compared to $293,401 for the year ended September 30, 2018. The increase is due to the fact that the Company entered into more convertible notes during the current year which resulted in more interest expense and a larger accretion amount given that the majority of the convertible notes had variable conversion rates resulting in derivative liabilities. The Company also recorded a loss of $218,922 for the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities compared to $165,961 for the year ended September 30, 2018 due in part to a larger convertible note balance which resulted in more variations in the fair value of the derivative liabilities on a period-to-period basis. Finally, the Company recorded a gain on the settlement of debt of $571,962 due to the full conversion and settlement of outstanding convertible notes payable due in part to a large derivative liability balance which would reverse upon full conversion of the notes.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $12,625,204, or $0.11 loss per share, during the year ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of $6,048,092, or $0.07 loss per share, during the year ended September 30, 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $7,371 and total assets of $92,694 compared to cash of $122,769 and total assets of $308,769 as at September 30, 2018. The decrease in cash and total assets was due to the fact that the Company used the financing from convertible notes for operating activities including work spent on the Company’s mineral properties and overhead costs.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had total liabilities of $4,880,156 compared to total liabilities of $2,741,281 as at September 30, 2018. The increase in total liabilities is due to an increase in the derivative liabilities of $2,636,227 due to an increase in the number of convertible notes outstanding during the current year and the fact that the majority of the convertible notes in fiscal 2019 had variable conversion rates. The increase was offset by a decrease in the carrying value of convertible notes payable of $448,762 due in part to a greater amount of convertible notes being entered into near the end of the fiscal year which resulted in a full discount of the carrying value due to the fair value of the derivative liability at the onset of the convertible note. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had total face value of convertible debentures of $3,643,259 compared to total face value of convertible notes of $1,380,822 at September 30, 2018. In addition, the Company had an increase of $76,018 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by a decrease of $124,608 in amounts due to related parties which are related to timing differences between payment of outstanding obligations as they become due.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $4,822,170 compared to a working capital deficit of $2,432,512 as at September 30, 2018. The increase in the working capital deficit is due to the use of convertible debentures to pay for operating expenditures which increases the overall working capital deficit as the Company is still in development stage and has not commenced any cash flows from its operations.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 26,700,000 common shares with a fair value of $7,093,110 for services and 22,396,684 common shares with a fair value of $3,141,894 for the conversion of outstanding notes payable. Furthermore, the Company cancelled 10,0000,000 common shares and issued 250,000 common shares as part of its joint venture agreement with CINC Industries Inc. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $143,000 to acquire mineral properties located in Nye County, Nevada, issued 500,000 common shares as a donation with a fair value of $75,000, issued 716,666 common shares for the issuance of convertible notes and exercise of cashless warrants, issued 31,340,000 common shares for services with a fair value of $3,199,950, and issued 4,874,783 common shares pursuant to the conversion of notes payable with a fair value of $560,550. In addition, the Company also cancelled 3,600,000 common shares and replaced those shares with the issuance of 3,600,000 share purchase warrants.

 

Cashflows from Operating Activities

 

During the year ended September, 30 2019, the Company used $3,432,069 of cash for operating activities compared to $993,422 of cash for operating activities during the year ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was due to additional costs incurred during the year due to an overall increase in day-to-day transactions and costs.

 

Cashflows from Investing Activities

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company used cash of $nil for investing activities compared to use of $10,200 for acquisition of mineral properties during the year ended September 30, 2018.


20


 

 

Cashflows from Financing Activities

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company received $4,800,502 of cash from issuance of notes payable less repayment of $1,483,831 compared to proceeds of $1,117,250 of cash from financing activities from notes payable during the year ended September 30, 2018.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

American Battery Metals Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Battery Metals Corporation (formerly Oroplata Resources, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2019 (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flows from operations to fund its business operations. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

AMERICAN BATTERY METALS CORPORATION

(formerly Oroplata Resources, Inc.)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended September 30, 2019

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 

American Battery Metals Corporation (formerly Oroplata Resources Inc.) (“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 had a wholly-owned subsidiary called Oroplata Exploraciones E Ingenieria SRL, which was incorporated in the Dominican Republic on January 10, 2012. The Company has no current intention to operate under this subsidiary. On July 26, 2016, the Company incorporated LithiumOre Corporation (formerly Lithortech Resources Inc.), a Nevada company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. On July 5, 2019, the Company incorporated ABMC AG, LLC, a Nevada company as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company currently holds mineral rights in the Western Nevada Basin of Nye County in the state of Nevada. The Company once owned mineral rights in the Dominican Republic but has no information as to whether those mineral rights have expired and currently has no intention of pursuing such claims.

 

Going Concern

 

These 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 September 30, 2019, the Company has not earned revenue, has a working capital deficit of $4,822,170, and an accumulated deficit of $49,890,538. 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.

 

These 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oroplata Exploraciones E Ingenieria SRL (See Note 1 regarding this subsidiary) and LithiumOre Corporation (formerly Lithortech Resources Inc) and ABMC AG, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

(b)Cash and Cash Equivalents 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2019, and 2018, there were no cash equivalents.

 

(c)Use of Estimates 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of stock-based compensation, recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of derivative liability, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(c)Use of Estimates (continued) 

 

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.

 

(d)Long-Lived Assets 

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, mineral properties, and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs. Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.

 

(e)Loss per Share  

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2018, the Company has 20,094,150 (2018 – 8,925,334) potentially dilutive shares, which their inclusion in EPS would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

 

(f)Foreign Currency Translation 

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions, if any, would primarily be undertaken in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters as follows:

 

1.Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date 

2.Equity at historical rates 

3.Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(f)Foreign Currency Translation (continued) 

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings in the period of settlement.

 

(g)Comprehensive Loss 

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company has no items representing comprehensive income or loss.

 

(h)Revenue Recognition  

 

Revenue from the sale of minerals will be recognized when a contract is in place and minerals are delivered to the customer.

 

(i)Financial Instruments 

 

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

(j)Income Taxes 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

Due to the Company’s net loss position from inception on October 6, 2011 to September 30, 2019, there was no provision for income taxes recorded. As a result of the Company’s losses to date, there exists doubt as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax assets has been recorded at September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

(k)Stock-based Compensation 

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the grant date. As at September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not grant any stock options.

 

(l)Mineral Property Costs 

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

 

(m)Advertising and Marketing Costs 

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing development costs as incurred.

(a) 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 September 30, 2019, 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 September 30, 2019.

 

(b) Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company has designed internal controls to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company assesses the effectiveness of internal controls based on the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2019.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Their service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform responsibly all director duties for us. Each director must represent the interests of all stockholders. When considering potential director candidates, the Board also considers the candidate’s character, judgment, diversity, age and skills, including financial literacy and experience in the context of our needs and the needs of the Board.

 

Family Relationships

 

None.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; 

Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); 

Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities; 

Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; 

Being subject of, or a party to, any Federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any Federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or 

Being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.  

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has not adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Management intends to adopt a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in the near future.

Term of Office

 

Our directors are appointed to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our Bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by the Board, absent an employment agreement.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is in the early stages of operations. The Company has three directors, two of which are not involved in the management of the Company, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. The involvement of the two non-management directors mitigates some potential conflict of interest issues.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of any class of a company’s equity securities which are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file with the SEC reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and on written representations from certain reporting persons as of September 30, 2018, we do not believe that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders with respect to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 have been filed.
