Northern Minerals & Exploration
Ltd.
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2020
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Northern
Minerals & Exploration Ltd. (the “Company”) is an
emerging natural resource company operating in oil and gas
production in central Texas and exploration for gold and silver in
northern Nevada.
The
Company was incorporated in Nevada on December 11, 2006 under the
name Punchline Entertainment, Inc. On August 22, 2012, the
Company’s board of directors approved an agreement and plan
of merger to effect a name change of the Company from Punchline
Entertainment, Inc. to Punchline Resources Ltd. On July 12, 2013,
the stockholders approved an amendment to change the name of the
Company from Punchline Resources Ltd. to Northern Mineral &
Exploration Ltd. FINRA approved the name change on August 13,
2013.
On
November 22, 2017, the Company created a wholly owned subsidiary,
Kathis Energy LLC (“Kathis”) for the purpose of
conducting oil and gas drilling programs in Texas.
On
December 14, 2017, Kathis Energy, LLC and other Limited Partners,
created Kathis Energy Fund 1, LP, a limited partnership created for
raising investor funds.
On May
7, 2018, the Company created ENMEX LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary
in Mexico, for the purposes of managing and operating its
investments in Mexico including but not limited to the Joint
Venture opportunity being negotiated with Pemer Bacalar on the 61
acres on the Bacalar Lagoon on the Yucatan Peninsula. There was no
activity from inception to date.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the
periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year ending July 31, 2020. These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2019.
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 of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to
withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as
cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial
instruments included in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair
value because of the short maturities for the instruments
held. The Company had no cash equivalents as of April 30, 2020
and July 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kathis Energy
LLC, Kathis Energy Fund 1, LLP and Enmex Operations LLC. All
financial information has been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated.
8
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
information to conform to the presentation used in the financial
statements for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020. Specifically, the Company
has changed its presentation of revenue from revenue and
distributions to only presenting net revenue. There was no effect
on net loss or earnings per share.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or
services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the
consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for
those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires
disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The
amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that
the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The
Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine
this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the
contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are
performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the
context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction
price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv)
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations;
and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies
each performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts
when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration
it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it
transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be
within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company
reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the
Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are
distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance
obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is
satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations
are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon
delivery.
The Company receives its revenue from oil and gas sales from the J.
E Richey lease located in Coleman County, Texas. Revenue is
recognized upon delivery.
Long Lived Assets
Property
consists of mineral rights purchases as stipulated by underlying
agreements and payments made for oil and gas exploration rights.
Our company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. When we determine that the carrying value
of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the
existence of one or more indicators of impairment and the carrying
value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted
cash flows, we record an impairment charge. Our company measures
any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method
using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate
with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant
management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator
of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.
Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs
Mineral
property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred
until such time as economic reserves are quantified. Cost of lease,
exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease
properties are expensed as incurred. We have chosen to expense all
mineral exploration costs as incurred given that it is still in the
exploration stage. Once our company has identified proven and
probable reserves in its investigation of its properties and upon
development of a plan for operating a mine, it would enter the
development stage and capitalize future costs until production is
established. When a property reaches the production stage, the
related capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated life
of the probable-proven reserves. When our company has capitalized
mineral properties, these properties will be periodically assessed
for impairment of value and any diminution in value.
Oil and Gas Properties
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its
oil and gas properties. Under this method of accounting, all
property acquisition costs and costs of exploratory and development
wells are capitalized when incurred, pending determination of
whether the well found proved reserves. If an exploratory well does
not find proved reserves, the costs of drilling the well are
charged to expense. The costs of development wells are capitalized
whether those wells are successful or unsuccessful. Other
exploration costs, including certain geological and geophysical
expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to
expense as incurred. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense, and renewals and betterments are capitalized to the
appropriate property and equipment accounts. Depletion and
amortization of oil and gas properties are computed on a
well-by-well basis using the units-of-production method. Although
the Company has recognized minimal levels of production and
revenue, none of its property have proved reserves. Therefore, the
Company’s properties are designated as unproved
properties.
9
Unproved
property costs are not subject to amortization and consist
primarily of leasehold costs related to unproved areas. Unproved
property costs are transferred to proved properties if the
properties are subsequently determined to be productive and are
assigned proved reserves. Proceeds from sales of partial interest
in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without
recognizing any gain until all cost is recovered. Unproved
properties are assessed periodically for impairment based on
remaining lease terms, drilling results, reservoir performance,
commodity price outlooks or future plans to develop
acreage.
Asset Retirement Obligation
Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410, Asset
Retirement and Environmental Obligations (“ASC 410”)
requires an entity to recognize the fair value of a liability for
an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred. The net estimated costs are discounted to present values
using credit-adjusted, risk-free rate over the estimated economic
life of the oil and gas properties. Such costs are capitalized as
part of the related asset. The asset is depleted on the equivalent
unit-of-production method based upon estimates of proved oil and
natural gas reserves. The liability is periodically adjusted to
reflect (1) new liabilities incurred, (2) liabilities settled
during the period, (3) accretion expense and (4) revisions to
estimated future cash flow requirements. To date, the Company has
very few operating wells. Currently, the Company has one working
well. Because there is only one active well on the Ritchie Lease,
the Company estimates the asset retirement obligation to be trivial
and has not recorded an ARO liability.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Net
income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC
260-10-45, Earnings per
Share—Overall—Other Presentation Matters. Basic
net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per
common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially
outstanding shares of common stock during the period.
For the
nine months ended April 30,
2020, the Company had 3,499,820 of potentially dilutive
shares. The shares consisted of common shares and warrants from
convertible debt of 1,666,547 and 833,273, respectively, and an
additional 1,000,000 warrants. For the nine months ended
April 30, 2019, the Company had
4,886,182 of potentially dilutive shares. The shares consisted of
common shares and warrants from convertible debt of 1,580,847 and
790,424, respectively, and an additional 2,515,000 warrants. The
diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for
the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, as the inclusion of
any potential shares would have had an antidilutive effect due to
our loss from operations.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02, Leases (Topic
842). The ASU requires that a
lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from
operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of
financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease
liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use
the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of
12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting
policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease
assets and lease liabilities. This new guidance will be effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within those annual reporting periods,
and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors
are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of
the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective
approach. The Company adopted this ASU and it did not have an
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to establish
ASC Topic 606, (ASC 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue
recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and
most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of
the Codification. The core principle of the guidance is that an
entity should recognize 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. The guidance includes a
five-step framework that requires an entity to: (i) identify
the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance
obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction
price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance
obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when
the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition,
the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with
customers.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the
Effective Date, which amended the effective date for nonpublic
entities to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU
2016-08) to ASC 606, Principal versus Agent Considerations
(Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the guidance
on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB
issued an update (ASU 2016-10) to ASC 606, Identifying Performance
Obligations and Licensing, which provides clarification related to
identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation
guidance under ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update
(ASU 2016-12) to ASC 606, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical
Expedients, which amends guidance on transition, collectability,
noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other
similar taxes. In December 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU
2016-20) to ASC 606, Technical Corrections and Improvements, which
outlines technical corrections to certain aspects of the new
revenue recognition standard such as provisions for losses on
construction type contracts and disclosure of remaining performance
obligations, among other aspects. The effective date and transition
requirements are the same as those in ASU 2014-09 for all
subsequent clarifying guidance discussed herein.
10
The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to
each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method),
or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying
the guidance recognized at the date of initial application
(modified retrospective method). The Company has elected to apply
the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, the new revenue
standard is applied prospectively in the Company’s financial
statements from August 1, 2019 forward and reported financial
information for historical comparable periods will not be revised
and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in
effect during those historical periods. The impact of ASC 606 is
immaterial to the Company.
NOTE 3 - GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements are prepared and presented on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating
to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Since
inception to April 30, 2020,
the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,088,936. The Company
intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements,
which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working
capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
NOTE 4 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
Active Projects:
The
Company currently has one active lease. We hold a 24% working
interest in one producing well (“Concho Richey #1”) on
the lease and a 100% working interest in the remainder of the
206-acre J. E Richey Lease. The Concho Richey #1 well is currently
producing 2.8 barrels of oil and 16 MCF of gas per
day.
The
Richey #1 well was plugged on January 3, 2018. As of July 31, 2019, management determined that
the $50,000 asset carried on the balance sheet was impaired
resulting in a loss on impairment of $21,200 lowering the value of
the investment in the Richey lease to $28,800.
NOTE 5 – MINERAL RIGHTS AND PROPERTIES
ENMEX Operations LLC – Wholly owned Subsidiary - Pemer
Bacalar – Resort Development Project
On
September 22, 2017 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent
with Pemer Bacalar SAPI DE CV to
examine the opportunity of acquiring ownership in approximately 80
acres (“Property”) on a freshwater lagoon near the
community of Bacalar, Mexico in the state of Quintana Roo for the
purpose of entering into a joint venture for the potential
development of the Property into a resort. This was
followed up with a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”)
on November 16, 2017 in order to
further conduct due diligence toward this potential project.
An amended MOU was entered into on April 13, 2018 setting forth the
conditions for entering into a definitive agreement with Pemer
Bacalar to acquire 51% of the Property. These conditions
included obtaining an independent appraisal of the Property and
develop a business plan in conjunction with a Joint Venture
Operating Agreement. On June 11, 2019 a new agreement was
entered into regarding this property to incorporate certain requirements including, but
not limited to, finalizing the acquisition of additional acreage
and obtaining permits as well as formalize a plan to conduct
feasibility studies, etc. On March 13, 2018 a payment of
$20,266 was paid toward the architectural drawings prepared by
Callikson. No additional funds have been provided to this project
since the signing of the MOU on June 11, 2019.

NOTE 6 – WINNEMUCCA MOUNTAIN PROPERTY
As
previously announced, on September 14, 2012, we entered into an
option agreement (as last amended on February 11, 2016) with AHL
Holdings Ltd., and Golden Sands Exploration Inc.
(“Optionors”), wherein we acquired an option to
purchase an 80% interest in and to certain mining claims, which
claims form the Winnemucca Mountain Property in Humboldt County,
Nevada (“Property”). This property currently is
comprised of 138 unpatented mining claims covering approximately
2,700 acres.
On July
23, 2018, the Company entered into a New Option Agreement with the
Optioners. This agreement provided for the payment of $25,000 and
the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock and work commitments. The Company issued the shares and made
the initial payment of $25,000 per the terms of the July 31, 2018
agreement. The second payment of $25,000 per the terms of the
agreement was not paid when it became due on August 31, 2018
causing the Company to default on the terms of the July 23, 2018
agreement.
On
March 25, 2019 the Company entered into a New Option Agreement with
the Optionors. As stated in the New Option Agreement the Company
has agreed to certain terms and conditions to have the right to
earn an 80% interest in the Property, these terms include cash
payments, issuance of common shares of the Company and work
commitments.
The Company’s firm commitments per the March 25, 2019 option
agreement total $381,770 of which cash payments total
$181,770 and a firm work commitment of $200,000. These cash
payments include payments for rentals payable to BLM and also for
the staking of new claims adjoining the existing claims. The work
commitment is to be conducted prior to December 31, 2020. As
of April 30,
2020 and July 31, 2019, the
Company has accounted for $354,000 and $381,770, respectively, in
its accrued liabilities (Note 7).

NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management
has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the requirements of ASC
Topic 855, from the balance sheet date through the date the
financial statements were available to be issued, and has
determined that no material subsequent events exist other than the
following.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
coronavirus outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International
Concern" and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic.
Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the
coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in
certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public
places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to
mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an
adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many
countries, including the geographical area in which the Company
plan to operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions
will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the
company, to date, the Company has experienced a decline in revenue
due to the decreasing price of oil.
On June
4, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its
Articles of Incorporation in which it increased its authorized
capital stock to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.001 and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.001.

General Overview
We are
an emerging natural resource company operating in oil and gas
production in central Texas and exploration for gold and silver in
northern Nevada.
Current Business
Refer
to NOTE 4 and NOTE 5 for property information.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended April 30, 2020 and
2019
Revenue
Revenues
of oil and gas for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019
were $564 and $10,191, respectively, a decrease of $9,627 or 94.5%.
Revenues are earned primarily from the J.E. Richey Lease from the
sale of oil and gas and are recorded net of any distributions paid.
The
decrease in revenue is due to lower production as well as lower oil
and gas prices.
Officer compensation
Officer
compensation was $2,200 and $0 for the three months ended April 30,
2020 and 2019, respectively. We began to incur monthly compensation
expense for our new CFO in April 2020 and no compensation has been
accrued or paid to the CEO in the prior period.
Consulting
Consulting
fees were $0 and $5,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. When needed the Company
hires experts in the mining, oil and gas industries to assist with
its current projects. The decrease in consulting fees in the
current period can be attributed to a decrease in expenditures
while the Company pursues additional funding.
Consulting – related party
Consulting
– related party services were $15,000 and $15,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Fees at
$5,000 per month are paid to Noel Schaefer, Director, but are
billed as consulting fees.
15
Professional fees
Professional
fees were $2,393 and $7,734 for the three months ended April 30,
2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $5,341 or 69.1%.
Professional fees generally consist of legal, audit and accounting
expense. The decrease can primarily be attributed to a decrease in
audit and legal fees billed during the period.
Mineral property expenditures
Mineral
property expenditures were $2,500 and $30,032 for the three months
ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $27,532
or 91.7%. The decrease in in the
current period can be attributed to a decrease in expenditures
while the Company pursues additional funding.
General and administrative
General
and administrative expense was $3,710 and $13,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$9,290 or 71.5%. The decrease can be attributed to a decrease in
travel and office expense.
Interest expense
During
the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 we had interest
expense of $3,946 and $2,399, respectively, an increase of $1,547
or 64.5%. The increase is due to newly acquired loans in the
current period.
Net Loss
For the
three months ended April 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $29,185 as
compared to a net loss of $62,974 for the three months ended April
30, 2019. Our net loss is lower in the current period due to a
decrease in some of our operating expenses as discussed
above.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended April 30, 2020 and
2019
Revenue
Revenues
of oil and gas for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019
were $1,943 and $11,787 respectively, a decrease of $9,844 or
83.5%. Revenues are earned primarily from the J.E. Richey Lease
from the sale of oil and gas and are recorded net of any
distributions paid. The decrease in revenue
is due to lower production as well as lower oil and gas
prices.
Officer compensation
Officer
compensation was $2,200 and $15,000 for the nine months ended April
30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No compensation was accrued or
paid to the CEO in the current period. We began to incur monthly
compensation expense for our new CFO in April 2020 and no
compensation has been paid to the CEO since Q2 of FY
2019.
Consulting
Consulting
fees were $0 and $15,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. When needed the Company
hires experts in the mining, oil and gas industries to assist with
its current projects. The decrease in consulting fees in the
current period can be attributed to a decrease in expenditures
while the Company pursues additional funding.
Consulting – related party
Consulting
– related party services were $45,000 and $45,000 for the
nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Fees at
$5,000 per month are paid to Noel Schaefer, Director, but are
billed as consulting fees.
Professional fees
Professional
fees were $26,323 and $32,984 for the nine months ended April 30,
2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $6,661 or 20.2%.
Professional fees generally consist of legal, audit and accounting
expense. The decrease can primarily be attributed to a decrease in
audit and legal fees billed during the period.
Advertising and promotion
Advertising
and promotion expenses were $0 and $38,485 for the nine months
ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We have temporarily
decreased our spending in this area to conserve our available
cash.
Mineral property expenditures
Mineral
property expenditures were $29,669 and $407,053 for the nine months
ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$377,384. In the prior period we accrued for $349,000 of firm
commitments associated with the
Winnemucca property.
16
General and administrative
General
and administrative expense was $12,798 and $29,377 for the nine
months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$16,579 or 56.4%. The decrease can be attributed to a decrease in
travel and office expense.
Interest expense
During
the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 we had interest
expense of $10,816 and $14,513, respectively, a decrease of $3,697
or 25.5%. In the prior year we incurred additional interest expense
a short-term loan that we did not have in the current
period.
Net Loss
For the
nine months ended April 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $124,863 as
compared to a net loss of $496,875 for the nine months ended April
30, 2019. Our net loss is lower in the current period due to a
decrease in some of our operating expenses as discussed
above.

We will
require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses over the
next twelve months. These funds may be raised through equity
financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in
further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is
still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a
level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his
investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be
unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate
future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses.
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 that is material to stockholders.
