NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
| 1. | Organization History and Business |
Organization and Business
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2013 and are a mineral exploration and production company engaged in the exploration, acquisition, and development of mineral properties. On April 2, 2020, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Scythian Mining Group Ltd. (“SMG”), a United Kingdom company, to acquire 100% interest in SMG-Gold B.V. (“SMG-Gold”), a Dutch limited liability company (the “SMG-Gold Acquisition”). While the Exchange Agreement was closed on July 7, 2020, it was never finalized because consideration for the transaction was never fully exchanged. On November 18, 2020, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to rescind the transaction and return the SMG-Gold shares to SMG. See Note 3 for additional information.
On January 8, 2021, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Provenance Gold Corporation, a Canadian publicly traded company (“PAU”) to fund and develop a series of 102 lode mineral claims and one (1) patented mining claim, all of which are located in Nye County in the State of Nevada (the “Venture”). Subsequent to the closing of the JV Agreement, both parties deemed it in their best interests not to move forward with the Venture based on various factors, including, but not limited to, financial constraints and considerations, current global economic factors, and general operational difficulties relating to the initial operations of the Venture. Accordingly, on March 22, 2021, we entered into a Rescission Agreement with PAU rescinding and rendering null and void the JV Agreement, and returning any funds advanced by either party in connection with the JV Agreement.
On May 10, 2021, we issued a press release stating our Company was changing its market focus “ Management recognizes that our Company needs to move in a new direction and will pursue acquisition opportunities that can benefit private companies through our Company’s public status. The benefit to our Company and its shareholders will be built on acquisitions based on growth and revenue of targeted acquisitions.
We will be restructured as a holding company seeking transactions on a managed basis, acquiring controlling interest in acquisition targets as subsidiaries of our Company. Using a holding company strategy, we will be able to mitigate risk while making multiple acquisitions. All targeted acquisitions must be audited or auditable. We will make either majority or minority investments in companies that meet its investment criteria.
As a holding company, we will not manufacture anything, sell any products or services, or conduct any other business operations. Our purpose is to hold the controlling stock or membership interests in other companies.
Our Company is taking an agnostic approach regarding industry, in almost every contemplated acquisition, we will retain the management team of the acquired company. The subsidiary’s own management will run the day-to-day business, as this retention of management post transaction will maintain operational continuity. Our Company’s management will be responsible for overseeing how the subsidiaries are run and assisting their management as needed.
Our Company is seeking opportunities in mature private companies that are in transition or growth mode.
| 7 |
We have begun sourcing opportunities through a number of third-party organizations. Transactions will be subject to industry standard due-diligence requirements. Of course, no two acquisitions are the same, so the due diligence process will vary from one situation to the next. In general, however, there are up to five types of due diligence; (i) Business; (ii) Accounting; (iii) Legal; (iv) Valuation and (v) Environmental, that will need to be completed as part of the process for any proposed transaction.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on our Company is not currently determinable, but management continues to monitor the situation.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Company’s historical financial statements and related notes filed with the SEC including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 filed on July 12, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which contemplate continuation
of our Company as a going concern. We currently have no revenues, have incurred net losses, and have an accumulated deficit of $
The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from any future business we may acquire. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient capital to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1 | - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
| Level 2 | - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. | |
| Level 3 | - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values for these items were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short-term in nature or they are payable on demand. Fair values for derivative liabilities were determined under level 2 since inputs used are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Derivative Financial Instruments – We account for convertible debt with conversion features representing embedded derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815-15-25-1 requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, we use the Black-Scholes option valuation method, resulting in a reduction of the initial carrying amount of the notes as unamortized debt discount. The unamortized discount is amortized over the term of each note using the effective interest method.
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate each of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive shares related to our convertible notes payable and Series A Preferred Stock have not been included in the diluted loss per share computations as they would be antidilutive for the periods presented.
| 9 |
New Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that they were either disclosed in our most recently filed Form 10-K or, based on current operations, are not believed to have a material impact on our financial statements.
| 3. | SMG-Gold Acquisition |
As stated in Note 1, on April 2, 2020, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with SMG and SMG’s wholly owned subsidiary SMG-Gold. Under the Exchange Agreement, SMG agreed to exchange one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of SMG-Gold for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Consideration”). In November 2019, SMG-Gold had been assigned the rights and obligations of these participatory interests in Altyn Kokus LLP, a limited liability partnership organized under the laws of Kazakhstan engaged in mining operations, but the assignment was not completed since the participatory interests had not been legally transferred to SMG-Gold as a result of certain payments not being made to Bulat Kulchimbayev (“Bulat”), a Kazakhstan national, in consideration for the sale of the participatory interests.
On May 1, 2020, SMG-Gold and Bulat agreed to modify
the obligations payable to Bulat as follows: (1) SMG-Gold would pay Bulat a total of $
Bulat never received any cash obligations owed to him, except for the $15,000 paid by us in July 2020. As such, Bulat did not transfer the participation interests in Altyn Kokus LLP to SMG-Gold. As a result, the transaction contemplated by the Exchange Agreement was deemed to be incomplete. Accordingly, on November 18, 2020, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to rescind the Exchange Agreement, to return the parties to their respective positions prior to entering into the Exchange Agreement, to the extent possible, to return the SMG-Gold shares to SMG, and to place a Stop Transfer Order with our transfer agent for the 4,000,000 shares of our common stock issued to Bulat.
Because of our Board’s decision to rescind
the Exchange Agreement, during the three months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a General and Administrative expense totaling $

As of June 30, 2021, equipment

| 5. | Related Party Transactions |
Payable to Stockholder
From time to time, we received advances from Joel Cortez, our largest stockholder, which we had reported on our Balance Sheets under the caption Due to Related Parties. All amounts owed to Mr. Cortez were forgiven by him in January 2021 and, as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, no amounts are owed to him for the advances. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, there were no advances received from or repaid to Mr. Cortez.
| 10 |
Employment Agreement
Under an April 1, 2020 Executive Employment Agreement, amended December 2, 2020, we retained the services of Mr. James Jenkins, our CEO and Director, by and through C2C Business Strategies, LLC (formerly Irvine America MB Management, LLC) (“C2C”).
During the three months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020, we expensed $

NON-RELATED PARTIES
Unsecured Credit Line Agreement
Effective December 4, 2020,
we entered into a Credit Line Agreement with Mambagone (“the Mambagone LOC”) under which Mambagone agreed to advance our Company
a total of $
Mambagone has the right, but
not the obligation, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest into fully paid
and non-assessable shares of our common stock. The conversion price shall be equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average of the
closing price of our common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. We determined that the conversion
provisions of the Mambagone LOC contain an embedded derivative feature and we valued the derivative feature separately, recording debt
discount and derivative liabilities in accordance with the provisions of the advances. See Note 7. We are amortizing the debt discount
on a straight-line basis over the term of the advances. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded amortization of debt discount
of $

Other Promissory Notes
During the three months ended
June 30, 2020, we issued two (2) notes payable to non-related parties totaling $
RELATED PARTY
Unsecured Promissory Note
On March 16, 2021, we issued
an unsecured promissory note to one of our large stockholders in the amount of $
| 7. | Derivative Liabilities |
As stated in Note 6, Notes Payable, we determined that the advances under the unsecured credit line agreement each contained an embedded derivative feature in the form of a conversion provision which was adjustable based on future prices of our common stock. In accordance with ASC 815-10-25, each derivative feature was initially recorded at its fair value using the Black-Scholes option valuation method and then re-valued at the June 30, 2020 reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The following table represents our derivative liability activity for the three months ended June 30, 2021:
| Initial measurement of advances | $ | |||
| Derivative expense | ||||
| Balance at March 31, 2021 | ||||
| Derivative expense | ||||
| Balance at June 30, 2021 | $ |
The fair value of the derivative features of the convertible notes were calculated using the following assumptions:
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 | ||||
| Expected term in years | ||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Annual expected volatility | % | |||
| Dividend yield | % | |||
| 12 |
Risk-free interest rate: We use the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Bill with a similar term on the date of the issuance.
Volatility: We estimate the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of our historical stock price for a period consistent with the convertible notes' expected terms.
Dividend yield: We use a 0% expected dividend yield as we have not paid dividends to date and do not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.
Remaining term: The remaining term is based on the remaining contractual term of the convertible notes.
| 8. | Capital Stock |
On June 1, 2020, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 75,000,000 to 500,000,000 and to authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The voting rights for the Series A preferred was originally designated to be 100 votes for each Series A preferred share. On September 4, 2020 in the First Amendment to the Exchange Agreement, the voting rights were reduced to 20 votes for each Series A preferred share. As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, shares of Series A preferred shares are outstanding.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential, proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors which may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Set forth below are certain of our important accounting policies. For a full explanation of these and other of our important accounting policies, see Note 2 to Notes to the Financial Statements in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2021.
Going Concern Considerations
Our financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared using the accrual method of accounting which conforms to US GAAP, which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on our Company is not currently determinable, but management continues to monitor the situation.
We have generated no revenues to date and have an accumulated deficit of $845,541 as of June 30, 2021. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from our Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our Company’s plan of action over the next twelve months is to raise capital.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 periods presented. We are required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We account for convertible debt with conversion features representing embedded derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815-15-25-1 requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, we use the Black-Scholes option valuation method, resulting in a reduction of the initial carrying amount of the notes as unamortized debt discount. The unamortized discount is amortized over the term of each note using the effective interest method.
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate each of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our financial position, future operations or cash flows.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have limited operational history. From our inception on July 26, 2013 to June 30, 2021, we did not generate any revenues. As a mineral pre-exploration company, we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and do not believe we will be able generate revenues during the next 12 months.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred operating expenses of $73,567 compared to $60,710 in the previous year. The 2021 period contains a $5,581 expense resulting from our issuance of common stock under the Services Agreement described in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements. The 2021 period expenses were also slightly higher than in 2020, primarily in the areas of professional fees related to the SMG-Gold transaction.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased $4,150 on higher levels of debt. We incurred derivative expense in the 2021 period of $14,165 related to our indebtedness to Mambagone as explained in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements. Debt discount amortization in the 2021 period of $40,682 was also related to our Mambagone indebtedness. There was no derivative expense or debt discount amortization in the 2020 period.

Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $133,600 ($0.00 per share) compares to a net loss of $61,746 ($0.00 per share) in the previous year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception we have raised capital through debt financing, advances from related parties and private placements of our common stock. Our capital commitments for the coming 12 months consist of administrative expenses, expenses associated with investment in companies, and costs of distribution of our securities. We estimate that we will have to incur the following expenses during the next 12 months:
| Description | Estimated Completion Date (1) |
Estimated Expenses ($) |
| Legal and accounting fees and expenses(2) | 12 months | 95,000 |
| Investor relations and capital raising | 12 months | 125,000 |
| General and administrative expenses | 12 months | 207,000 |
| Transfer Agent and Edgar Services | 12 months | 18,000 |
| Investment in companies | 12 months | 600,000 |
| Total | 1,045,000 |
| (1) | Budget Items are listed in order of priority. |
| (2) | Includes $45,000 for accounting and auditing. |
Since our initial share issuances, our company has been unable to raise additional capital forcing us to rely on debt financing and cash advances from related parties to meet current and future liabilities over the foreseeable future. Based on our cash on hand of approximately $35,409 as of June 30, 2021, we will be required to raise additional funds to execute our current plan of operation. Beyond our line of credit agreement with Mambagone, we have no commitment from anyone to contribute funds to our Company. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to execute our plan of operation, we intend to scale back our operations commensurately with the funds available to us. In that regard, we will prioritize expenditures to (in order of priority): (i) maintain our mineral exploration license; and (ii) to conduct our planned exploration activities. We intend to raise the capital that we require through the private placement of our securities or through loans. However, we have not received any financing commitments and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in so doing.
We have no plant or significant equipment to sell, nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months. We do not intend to hire any employees at this time.

CASH FLOWS
Operating Activities
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we used cash of $63,480 for operating activities compared to $14,588 during the same period in 2020. The increase in cash used was mainly attributable to the increase in our net loss, offset to some extent by increases in non-cash items and changes in in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in due to related parties. Significant non-cash items in the 2021 period which did not exist in the 2020 period included shares issued for services of $5,581, derivative expense of $14,165 and debt discount amortization of $40,682. In addition, there was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and due to related party liabilities in the 2021 period compared to 2020 of $40,962.
Investing Activities
There were not investing activities during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received $30,000 in proceeds from the issuance of notes payable. There were no financing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Trends
We are in the pre-exploration stage, have not generated any revenue and have no prospects of generating any revenue in the foreseeable future. Other than potential impacts of Covid-19, we are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our business or income, either in the long term or short term, other than as described in this section or in “Risk Factors”.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on our revenues and operating results has not been significant.
