Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
Basis Of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Global Gold Royalty, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.  For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2021  thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use Of Estimates And Assumptions

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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Due to the limited level of operations, the Company has not had to make material assumptions or estimates other than the assumption that the Company is a going concern.

Cash And Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash is comprised of bank deposits at financial institutions with insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management believes there is no risk of loss as the Company’s balance does not exceed the maximum amount insured.

Royalty Interests In Mineral Properties And Related Depletion

Royalty interests include acquired royalty interests in production, development and exploration stage properties. The costs of acquired royalty interests are capitalized as tangible assets as such interests do not meet the definition of a financial asset under the ASC guidance. Production stage royalty interests are depleted using the units of production method over the life of the mineral property (as royalty payments are recognized), which are estimated using proven and probable reserves as provided by the operator. Development stage mineral properties, which are not yet in production, are not depleted until the property begins production. Exploration stage mineral properties, where there are no proven and probable reserves, are not depleted. At such time as the associated exploration stage mineral interests are converted to proven and probable reserves, the mineral property is depleted over its life, using proven and probable reserves. The Company has not begun generating revenues from royalty interests.

Asset Impairment

We evaluate long‑lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in production and development stage properties is evaluated based upon estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from each royalty interest using estimates of proven and probable reserves and other relevant information received from the operators. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in exploration stage properties in the event of significant decreases in the price of gold and whenever new information regarding the properties is obtained from the operator indicating that production will not likely occur or may be reduced in the future, thus potentially affecting the future recoverability of our royalty interests. Impairments in the carrying value of each property are measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying value in each property exceeds its estimated fair value, which is generally calculated using estimated future discounted cash flows. Estimates of gold price, and operators’ estimates of proven and probable reserves or mineralized material related to our royalty properties are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of our investment in these royalty interests in properties. It is possible that changes could occur to these estimates, which could adversely affect the net cash flows expected to be generated from these royalty interests.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized pursuant to current guidance in ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under current ASC 606 guidance, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer control of a distinct good or service (or integrated package of goods and/or services) to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. In accordance with this guidance, revenue attributable to our royalty interests is generally recognized at the point in time that control of the related gold production transfers to our customers. The amount of revenue we recognize further reflects the consideration to which we are entitled under the respective royalty agreement. A more detailed summary of revenue recognition policies for our royalty interests is discussed in Note 4.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments.  ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements

 

The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values.  These financial instruments include cash, accrued liabilities and notes payable.  Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Basic And Diluted Loss Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260-10-45 “Earnings per Share”, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings (loss) per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has no potential dilutive instruments, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are equal.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Company management has yet to determine when it could generate taxable income, therefore it has not recognized deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2021.
