AMERICAN BATTERY METALS CORPORATION
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2019
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of American Battery Metals Corporation (formerly Oroplata Resources, Inc.) 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. The Company currently holds mineral rights 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 June 30, 2019, the Company has not earned revenue, has a working capital deficit of $4,488,758, and an accumulated deficit of $47,419,040. 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

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

American Battery Metals Corporation (the “Company” or “we”) is 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 as Oroplata Resources, Inc. 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 objectives 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 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 1,300 mining claims on 26,000 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 on-site exploration efforts and determined that 260 claims of the WNB Claim were appropriate for the Company’s planned exploration, which began in Spring 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 Li-brine basins to target potential brine aquifers.
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, has done extensive geophysics and just completed its first drill/test/production well, which will now allow us to finalize our next 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.
On April 29, 2019, the Company changed its name from Oroplata Resources, Inc. to American Battery Metals Corporation which the Company believes better reflects the nature of the Company’s current and anticipated operations. In conjunction with the name change, the Company’s symbol was changed to “ABML”. Please see the Company’s new website at www.batterymetals.com.

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;
no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and
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
The company has two employees, one of whom is our one officer, Mr. Cole, and the other is our Lead Chemist. 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company has not realized any revenue from its exploration activities on 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, the Company cannot seek substantial investors to further fund the Company so that production can be achieved. Not until commercial production is realized will the Company have any chance of recognizing any form of revenue.
Results of Operations
Revenues
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not realized any revenues.
Expenses
Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $1,473,674 of operating expenses compared to $427,361 of operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in operating expenses is due to exploration costs incurred on the Nye County property of $688,587 as well as an increase in general and administrative expense of $375,193 due to an increase in day-to-day operating costs as the Company has continued to advance on its business strategy and objectives.
23
In addition to operating expenses, the Company incurred interest and accretion expense of $673,963 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $43,904 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in accretion and interest expense is due to the fact that the Company has more convertible debt outstanding in the current period compared to prior year. The Company also recorded a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $787,640 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $12,442 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the current period, the Company had a lower volatility in its overall share price which resulted in a lower spread between the fair value at June 30, 2019 and the conversion price of its floating rate convertible debentures outstanding during the period which resulted in the reversal of the unrealized losses at the end of Q2. Finally, the Company recorded a gain on the settlement of debt of $339,302 compared to a loss on settlement of debt of $nil during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The difference is due to the fact that the overall derivative liability balances for the settled convertible debentures was higher resulting in a larger reversal of the liability upon settlement of outstanding debentures.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2019
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred operating expenses of $9,091,986 compared to operating expenses of $3,718,513 during the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is due to the fact that the Company has issued more common shares for consulting and management services in fiscal 2019 ($6,402,610) compared to fiscal 2018 ($2,937,250). Furthermore, the Company also utilized more consultants during fiscal 2019 due to the increased activity with the Nye Valley property that resulted in more overhead costs compared to fiscal 2018 which included an increase in exploration costs of $686,618 as well as increases in general and administrative expenses.
In addition to operating expenses, the Company incurred interest and accretion expense of $1,391,127 in fiscal 2019 compared to $99,837 during the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is due to the fact that the Company has entered into more convertible debentures since June 30, 2018 which has increased the interest and accretion expenditures due to the fact that the conversion terms on the debentures are favorable to the note holder which results in a higher discount on the face value at inception. Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred a loss of $156,368 for the change in the fair value of the derivative liability and was offset by a gain on the settlement of debt of $485,775 compared to a loss of $12,442 on the change in fair value of derivative liability during the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the loss on the change in derivative liability is due to an increase in the amount of convertible debentures outstanding in the current year compared to prior year. The gain on the settlement of debt during fiscal 2019 is due to the reversal of a larger derivative liability amount upon conversion which resulted in a gain on the settlement of debt.
Net Loss
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,153,706 or $0.09 loss per share compared to a net loss of $3,830,792 or $0.05 loss per share during the nine months ended June 30, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $16,690 and total assets of $93,225 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 fact that the Company had higher overall operating expenditures compared to prior year, including significant expenditures incurred on management and director fees as well as exploration property on the Nye County property. The decrease in assets us due to a decrease in prepaid expense of $144,715 due mainly to the prepaid amounts to officers and directors of the Company that were paid in common stock but to be expensed over 12-month period. The Company did not prepay officers and directors with common stock during fiscal 2019.
The Company had total current liabilities of $4,546,733 at June 30, 2019 compared to $2,741,281 at September 30, 2018. The increase in liabilities is due to an increase in derivative liabilities of $2,181,958 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 accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $93,186 as the Company is preserving cash flow and allowing for a longer lead time in the payment of outstanding obligations. The increase was offset by a decrease in the carrying value of notes payable of $480,670 as the Company entered into 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 June 30, 2019, the Company has $3,472,100 of face value of convertible notes compared to $1,380,822 of face value of convertible notes as at September 30, 2018.
As at June 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,488,758 compared to a working capital deficit of $2,432,512 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.
24
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 23,050,000 common shares for services with a fair value of $6,402,610, issued 9,603,519 common shares to convert outstanding notes payable and accrued interest, issued 250,000 common shares with a fair value of $35,250 for compensation as part of the joint venture agreement with CINC Industries, and cancelled 10,000,000 common shares that were previously issued for services.
As at June 30, 2019, the Company does not have any issued or outstanding stock options but has 8,925,334 share purchase warrants outstanding with exercise prices from $0.001 to $0.15 per share.
Cash Flows
Cash from Operating Activities.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company used $2,394,695 of cash for operating activities as compared to $526,230 during the nine months ended June 30, 2018. 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 for its exploration expenditures as well as for day-to-day operating costs as the Company was more active in its business strategy and objectives during fiscal 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018.
Cash from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any investing activities.
Cash from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received $3,559,750 of funding from the issuance of convertible notes payable offset by repayment of notes payable of $1,271,134 compared to proceeds received of $609,000 from convertible notes and $500 from a related party during the nine months ended June 30, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In presenting the Company's financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepting accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures.
Some of the estimates and assumptions the Company is required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. The Company 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, the Company reconsiders and evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
The Company 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, the Company 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.
25
Income Taxes
The Company 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
The Company 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

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 June 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.

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. 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.
