LODE-STAR MINING INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023
(Unaudited)
| 1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Lode-Star Mining Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on December 9, 2004. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Reno, Nevada. The Company was originally formed to acquire exploration stage natural resource properties. At present, the Company has no business activity and is actively seeking a project to invest in.
Going Concern
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The future
of the Company is dependent upon its ability to establish a business and to obtain new financing to execute its business plan. As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had no revenue and has incurred accumulated losses of $
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim financial information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the year ended December 21, 2023, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, have been omitted. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2024.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality.
The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. Those pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023
(Unaudited)
| 3. | TRANSACTIONS WITH LODE-STAR GOLD INC. (“LSG”) |
The Company’s mineral property interest was in a group of thirty-one claims known as the “Goldfield Bonanza Project” (the “Property”), in the State of Nevada. Pursuant to an option agreement dated October 14, 2014, as amended October 31, 2019 (“Option Agreement”), with LSG, the Company acquired an initial 20% undivided interest in and to the mineral claims owned by LSG and an option to earn a further 60% interest in the claims. LSG received 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and is its controlling shareholder. Until the Company has earned the additional 60% interest, the net smelter royalty will be split 79.2% to LSG, 19.8% to the Company and 1% to the former Property owner.
| 4. | CAPITAL STOCK |
Capitalization
The authorized capital of the Company is 500,000,000 shares of capital stock, divided into shares of common stock with a par value of $ per share, and shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ per share. The Company reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The Company has issued common shares and preferred shares.
Options
No options are outstanding at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
| 5. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND AMOUNTS DUE |
In addition to transactions with related parties discussed elsewhere in these unaudited interim financial statements, the following transactions occurred with related parties.
At
March 31, 2024, the Company had amounts due to related parties of $

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results
New Business
The Company has no active business at the present time. We are actively seeking business opportunities to engage in.
Funding
All of our ongoing operations have continued to be funded by monies advanced to us by Lode-Star Gold INC. (LSG) our largest shareholder. We do not currently have enough funds to carry out our entire plan of operations, so we intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. There is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings.
If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options, although we cannot provide any assurance that any such options will be available to us or on terms reasonably acceptable to us. . Regardless, our current cash reserves and working capital will not be sufficient for us to sustain our business for the next 12 months, even if we decide to scale back our operations.
10
| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Intellectual Property
We do not have any intellectual property.
Personnel
We have no employees. Our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Director and Secretary Mark Walmesley, receives no compensation for his services. We expect to continue to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary.
Going Concern
There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenses. This is because we have not generated any revenues to-date and we cannot currently estimate the timing of any possible future revenues. Our only source of cash at this time is from loans or investments by others in our common stock.
Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024 which are included above in Part I, Item 1.
| Three Months Ended March 31 | Change | |||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | Amount | Percentage | |||||||||||
| Revenue | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - | ||||||||
| Operating Expenses | 8,874 | 6,155 | 2,719 | 44% | ||||||||||

| Net Loss | $ | (8,874 | ) | $ | (6,155 | ) | $ | (2,719 | ) | 44% | ||||
Revenues
We had no operating revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. We recorded a net loss of $8,874 for the current quarter and have an accumulated deficit of $4,335,137.
Expenses
Notable year over year differences in expenses for the first quarter are as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | Change | |||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | Amount | Percentage | |||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Corporate support services | 466 | 444 | (22 | ) | -5 | % | ||||||||||
| Office, foreign exchange and sundry | (3,459 | ) | 767 | 4,226 | 551 | % | ||||||||||

| Interest, bank and finance charges | 3,118 | 4,488 | 1,370 | 31 | % | |||||||||||
11
| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
The increase in the first quarter of 2024 is related to higher professional fees for accounting fees offset by a gain in foreign exchange fees.
Balance Sheets at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023
Items with notable period-end differences are as follows:
| Change | ||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | Amount | Percentage | |||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Cash | 1,898 | 2,474 | 576 | 23 | % | |||||||||||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 19,361 | 14,689 | (4,672 | ) | -32 | % | ||||||||||
| Due to related parties and accrued interest | 80,861 | 77,235 | (3,626 | ) | -5 | % | ||||||||||
The increase in accounts payable and related party accruals is due to professional fees incurred for accounting fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2024, our total assets were $1,898 and our total liabilities were $100,222. Our working capital deficiency at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the changes between those dates were as follows:
| Increase/(Decrease) | ||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | Amount | Percentage | |||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Current Assets | 1,898 | 2,474 | (576 | ) | -23 | % | ||||||||||
| Current Liabilities | 100,222 | 91,924 | 8,298 | 9 | % | |||||||||||
| Working Capital Deficiency | (98,324 | ) | (89,450 | ) | (8,874 | ) | 10 | % | ||||||||
The increase in our working capital deficiency from December 31, 2023, to March 31, 2024, was due to cash outflow from operating activities.
Cash Flows
| Three Months Ended March 31 | Increase/(Decrease) | |||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | Amount | Percentage | |||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Cash Flows Provided by (Used In): | ||||||||||||||||
| Operating Activities | (4,202 | ) | (12,169 | ) | 7,967 | -65 | % | |||||||||
| Financing Activities | 3,626 | 22,050 | (18,424 | ) | -84 | % | ||||||||||
| Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash | (576 | ) | 9,881 | (10,457 | ) | -106 | % | |||||||||
We have yet to generate any revenues from our business operation and our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs is entirely dependent on the issuance of shares or loans, which have been our principal sources of working capital so far. For the foreseeable future, we will have to continue to rely on those sources for funding. We have no assurance that we can successfully engage in any further private sales of our securities or that we can obtain any additional loans.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
12
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the size and nature of the existing business operation. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement disclosure control procedures is limited. Until the organization can increase sufficiently in size to warrant an increase in personnel required to effectively execute and monitor formal disclosure control procedures, those formal procedures will not be implemented. Given the current size of the organization, there are not significant levels of supervision, review, independent directors or a formal audit committee.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide information under this item. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including, without limitation, the items listed in Item 1A RISK FACTORS in our report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
| ITEM 1 C. | CYBERSECURITY |
At present the Company has minimal risk related to Cybersecurity as no operational business is conducted on the internet or available through the internet.
Cybersecurity risk management will be an integral part of our overall enterprise risk management efforts once the Company has determined how and what security measures will need to be deployed. No enterprise risk can be eliminated entirely. We will seek to mitigate as much risk as possible and manage the remaining financial risk through a cyber insurance policy. The Company has chosen the National Institute of Standards (NIST) for its base framework because it is compatible with certain risk management business functions required by customers and US Government oversight. Controls in the SP 800-53 catalog will be tailored-in based on governance found in SP 800-171, internally determined IT General Controls, and industry best practices to create a balanced approach protecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Governance
Our Board of Directors has primary responsibility for evaluating cybersecurity risk management, overseeing our major cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing risk, as well as oversight of compliance related to legal and regulatory exposure.
The “to be newly formed” management positions responsible for assessing and managing cybersecurity risks will be a Director of Cybersecurity and a Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), who will report directly to our CFO. Presently our CFO is undertaking the actions of both the Director of Cybersecurity and CIO. The CIO will be responsible for ensuring that we have a cybersecurity risk management program in place that is fully aligned with business requirements and strategy
| ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. |
We had no unregistered sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Other than as disclosed above and in previous reports filed with the SEC, we have not issued any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act within the past three years.
