Note 2: 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 ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.  For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2022  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.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative operating losses since inception. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve its objectives and attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations. As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $202,577.

 

Achievement of the Company’s objectives will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing, to generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and to effectively control operating and capital costs.

 

The Company plans to fund its future operations by seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists.

 

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 3.

 

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. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

To increase the comparability of fair value measures, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

 

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

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.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax laws.  As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no previously recorded deferred tax assets based on net operating losses.  In 2022, the Company continued to incur net operating losses as it did in previous year. 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, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses —Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, which includes the Company’s accounts receivable. This ASU is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

The new treatment is applicable to all financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, thereby bringing consistency in accounting treatment across different types of financial instruments and requiring consideration of a broader range of variables when forming loss estimates.

 

The Company believes the adoption of this update will not materially impact its financial statements and related disclosures. However, the Company will continue to monitor these and other emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements.
