Venture Vanadium Inc.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2020
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Venture Vanadium Inc. (the Company, we, us or our) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Venture Vanadium Inc. (Formerly Aura Energy Inc.) was previously engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province. This has now ceased. On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. We now intend to focus on the minerals and resources sector.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Note 2 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. We had no revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2020. We currently have losses and have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that we will depend, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. We intend to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of managements efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful in this or any of our endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Note 3 IMPACT OF COVID-19
With the present COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will need to manage its cash flow during these difficult times and funding resources may not be available as the outlook is uncertain. The Companys plan of operations may not proceed and can be held up due to the impact of COVID-19. These are unprecedented times and the Company will adjust to the new realities and will actively monitor the impact of the pandemic on the Companys business. The full extent of the impact of economic uncertainty on the Companys business operations and financial results will depend on numerous factors that the company may not be able to accurately predict. In an effort to protect the health and safety are employees and consultants a significant amount of time is spent working remotely, international travel has been curtailed and a lot of other functions have been paused. Governments from around the world have enacted various measures to slow the spread and contain COVID-19. These measures include orders to close all business deemed non-essential, isolate residents to their homes and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. The Company anticipates that these actions and the global health crisis caused by this pandemic will negatively impact business activity across the globe. It is not clear what the potential effects, if any, that such alterations or modifications we have on our business, financial condition and cash flows. The duration of these measures is also unknown and may be extended with additional imposed measures.

Note 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our year-end is October 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on us.
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA or the SEC would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements for the six months to April 30, 2020.
Mineral Properties
The Company will expense mineral property exploration expenditures when incurred. When it has established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and following a decision to commence development, the costs subsequently incurred to develop a mine on the property prior to the start of mining operations are capitalized and will be amortized against production following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. Option payments and expenditures required to earn an interest in the properties are capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Stock-based compensation
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", an update that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This guidance was adopted by Venture Vanadium Inc for the financial year ended October 31, 2019. There was no material effect on the financial statements as a result of this adoption.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 adoption is on February 1, 2018. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Specifically, Section 606-10-50 requires an entity to provide information about: a. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers, including the disaggregation of revenue into appropriate categories; b. Contract balances, including the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities; c. Performance obligations, including when the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations and the transaction price that is allocated to the remaining performance obligations in a contract; d. Significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the requirements to those contracts.
Note 5 RELATED PARTY LOANS
Related Party Loans are not covered by a formal loan agreement and are interest free with no fixed repayment date. They are due to Ian Ilsley, the companys sole director and controlling shareholder, and were made following the change of control on May 29, 2019.
Note 6 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
9
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10), we have analyzed our operations subsequent to April 30, 2020 to the date these financial statements were issued and have determined that we do not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.
Note 7 MINERAL PROPERTIES
On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.
Under the terms of the assignment agreement, we issued 50,000 shares to Ian Ilsley on June 21, 2019 and a further 50,000 shares ninety days thereafter in consideration for him having entered into the assignment agreement.
Under the terms of the option agreement, payments totaling $65,000 were made to the Optionor and 1,150,000 shares were issued to the Optionor. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. These transactions are reflected in the accounts as of April 30, 2020 and have been capitalized in accordance with the companys accounting policy noted in note 3 above.
Note 8 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Further to the company entering into the Split-Off Agreement dated May 29, 2019, pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the business component relating to the assets and liabilities taken over is reported as a discontinued operations.
Note 9 INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. As of April 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no outstanding warrants or options.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Corporate History
Venture Vanadium Inc., formerly known as Aura Energy Inc. and as Arcom (the Company), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Venture Vanadium Inc. has only one officer and director who is Ian Ilsley. We were engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province. This activity has now ceased. On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.
11
Under the terms of the assignment agreement, we issued 50,000 shares to Ian Ilsley on June 21, 2019 and a further 50,000 shares ninety days thereafter in consideration for him having entered into the assignment agreement.
Under the terms of the option agreement, payments totaling $65,000 were made to the Optionor and 1,150,000 shares were issued to the Optionor. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. These transactions are reflected in the accounts to April 30, 2020.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding entered into either voluntarily by us and involuntarily against us.
Reorganizations, Purchase or Sale of Assets
On February 1, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 12-for-1 forward split which increased the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 4,440,000 to 53,280,000. Unless otherwise noted, all share amounts provided in this report reflect such reverse stock split.
Our assets comprise a 100% interest in over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the construction and operation of any facility in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities.
Employees and Employment Agreements
We have no employees, except our sole officer and director Ian Ilsley, as of the date of this report. We have no employment agreement with Mr. Ilsley. Our sole officer and director, Ian Ilsley, currently devotes approximately 30 hours per week to company matters. As our business and operations increase, we will assess the need for full-time management and administrative support personnel.
Legal Proceedings
There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates (any owners of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities) is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.
Results of Operations
We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other avenues, the sale of equity or debt securities.
Revenue and cost of goods sold
For the six months ended April 30, 2020, we reported no revenue.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $185,131 and the total operating expenses for the three-month period ended April 30, 2019, all of which related to discontinued activities, were $12,393, making the total operating expenses for the six months to April 30, 2020 and 2019 $271,792 and $29,607 respectively. The operating expenses for the six-month period ended April, 2020 included audit fees of $7,775; legal & professional fees of $18,000; rent expense of $4,217; regulatory filing fees of $5,622; directors fees of $30,000; geologists and other technical fees of $187,250; travel, entertaining and subsistence of $6,285; web services and news releases of $5,500 and sundry general and administrative expenses of $7,143. The increase in expenditure reflects the increased activity by the company due to its new operations, its exploration activities and the strengthening of the management team.
Net Loss
The net loss for the three-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $185,131 and the net loss for the three-month period ended April 30, 2019, all of which related to discontinued activities, was $12,393. The net loss for the six-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $271,792 compared to a net loss for the six-month period ended April 30, 2019, all of which related to discontinued activities, of $29,607.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2020, our total assets were $1,073,807 compared to $309,989 as of October 31, 2019; the increase resulting from the acquisition of the title to the 30 Desgrosbois Proerty claims which were previously under option to the company.
As of April 30, 2020, our current liabilities were $166,020 and Stockholders Equity was $907,787.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was negative $74,932, compared with negative $24,822 for the six-month period ended April 30, 2019. The cash flows used in operating activities for the six-month period ended April, 2019 related entirely to discontinued operations. The increase in cash flows used in the six-month period ended April, 2020 reflects the increased activity by the company due to its new operations, its exploration activities and the strengthening of the management team.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2020, we used $105,000 of cash in investing activities which related to the acquisition of the title to the 30 Desgrosbois Proerty claims which were previously under option to the company. This compares with cash inflows from investing activities in the corresponding period ending April 30, 2019 of $8,389 which related to the disposal of assets used in discontinued activities.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2020, we used $5,000 of cash in financing activities, compared to inflows of $10,845 for the six-month period ended April 30, 2019. These were in connection with changes in related party loans in both periods.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
·
Have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
·
Provide an auditor attestation with respect to managements report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
12
·
Comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
·
Submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as say-on-pay and say-on-frequency; and
·
Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance comparisons of the CEOs compensation to median employee compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. However, even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or the auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, and we anticipate that they will issue another going concern opinion in connection with this fiscal year. This means that there is doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
