SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Operating results for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

 

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022.

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows as previously reported.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, common stock equivalents of 2,400,000 associated with the Company’s outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the periods then ended.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,887,552 through June 30, 2022 and net loss of $2,639,792 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, along with negative working capital of $15,813,342 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company has not delivered gold ounces as scheduled on its prepaid forward gold contract and could be subject to default provisions within the related agreement (see Note 7). The condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

Although production restarted in 2019, it has not yet reached optimum levels. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products, metals market pricing, and the availability of opportunities for expansion through affiliations and other business relationships. Management continues to seek new capital from equity securities issuances or other business arrangements to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement its business plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.

 

COVID -19

 

The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the United States and elsewhere, causing disruptions to the Company’s business operations and management. These disruptions are most evident in the Company’s ability to retain and house employees and properly manage them while maintaining proper social distancing and with delays in obtaining materials and supplies. There has also been a reduction in the availability of equipment financing. These disruptions continue to hamper operations. It is management’s belief that disruptions relating to COVID will be mitigated in the future as a large percent of the population becomes vaccinated.

 

The effects of the continued outbreak of COVID-19 and related government responses could also include extended disruptions to supply chains and capital markets, reduced availability of contractors and a prolonged reduction in economic activity. These effects could have a variety of adverse impacts on the Company, including its ability to conduct operations.

 

The Company has taken steps to mitigate the potential risks to suppliers and employees posed by the spread of COVID-19, including work from home policies where appropriate. The Company will continue to monitor developments affecting both its workforce and contractors and will take additional precautions as necessary. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 depends on factors beyond management’s knowledge or control, including its duration and third-party actions to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. Therefore, the Company cannot estimate the potential future impact to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but the impacts could be material.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
