TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
CorporateOverview
PureBase Corporation (“PureBase” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2010. The Company is an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States through its two subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PureBase AG”), and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PureBase AM”), respectively.
The Company’s headquarters is in Ione, California.
AgriculturalSector
The Company develops specialized sun protectants. The Company has developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of kaolin clay.
ConstructionSector
The Company has been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believes will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). The Company is developing an SCM that it believes can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, the Company believes there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction materials sector.
The Company utilizes the services of US Mine Corporation (“USMC”), a Nevada corporation and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the development and contract mining of industrial minerals. A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors, and owners of USMC. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by US Mine, LLC. A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also owners of US Mine, LLC.

NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of February 28, 2025, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of $64,661,211 and a working capital deficit of $1,494,421. For the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company had a loss from operations of $418,216 and negative cash flows from operations of $348,110. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2025. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded and plans to continue funding these losses primarily with additional infusions of cash from advances from USMC and the issuance of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s plan, through the continued promotion of its products to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover its anticipated expenses. The Company is currently exploring several other options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including issuances of equity securities or equity-linked securities to USMC and other third parties.
Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including funding from USMC in the form of advances, will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
On
March 7, 2024, the Company entered into a $1,000,000 line of credit agreement with USMC, pursuant to a grid note issued in connection with the line of credit. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and any outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the sole discretion of the noteholder at a conversion price of $0.08 per share at maturity. The line of credit was fully funded in January 2025. Terms of a new line of credit and unsecured convertible grid promissory note have not yet been determined.
USMC
has advanced an additional $406,449 to the Company as of April 14, 2025. Currently, there are no other arrangements or agreements for financing with USMC and management cannot guarantee any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease its operations completely.

NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basisof Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2024, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The results of the three months ended February 28, 2025 (unaudited), are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2025.
Principlesof Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries PureBase AG and PureBase AM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Useof Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and equity-based transactions at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations may be affected.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation methods for fair value of options, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.
Revenue
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives revenues from the sale of products from its agricultural sector and construction sector. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of control to the customer.
| 9 |
| --- |
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Practical Expedients
As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted practical expedients including:
| ● | Significant<br> Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing<br> component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or<br> service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. |
|---|---|
| ● | Unsatisfied<br> and Partially Unsatisfied Performance Obligations – for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for<br> less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore is not required<br> to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied<br> at the end of the reporting period. |
| ● | Shipping<br> and Handling Activities – the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather<br> than as a separate performance obligation. |
| ● | Right<br> to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value<br> provided to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount to<br> which the entity has a right to invoice. |
Cashand Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of February 28, 2025 and November 30, 2024.
AccountsReceivable
The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, a credit loss is recorded for that doubtful account. As of February 28, 2025 and November 30, 2024, the Company had no accounts receivable.
Propertyand Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years, except for SCM plants, which lives are estimated at thirty years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.
SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
| Equipment | 3-5<br> years |
|---|---|
| Autos<br> and trucks | 5<br> years |
| SCM<br> plants | 30<br> years |
Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. The Company currently has $547,907 in property and equipment that it acquired on May 1, 2020. As of February 28, 2025, the Company has not put the acquired property and equipment to use. As such, the Company has not recorded depreciation related to these assets. The Company has $202,809 in costs for its pilot plant which has begun manufacturing sample quantities of the Company’s SCM product for testing by third-parties. The Company has begun recording depreciation related to the pilot plant. The Company also has $61,750 in other fixed assets which are fully depreciated.

NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impairmentof Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded during the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.
Shippingand Handling
The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. There were no net amounts incurred or included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.
Advertisingand Marketing Costs
The
Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $9,469 and $6,500 for the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, respectively.
FairValue Measurements
As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs 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 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.
| Level<br> 1: | Quoted<br> prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in<br> which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing<br> basis.

FairValue of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute all of the Company’s debt and interest payable on the notes based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
LossPer Common Share
Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024. All outstanding options are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, outstanding options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per share of common stock for the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.
The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common stock:
SCHEDULE OF OUTSTANDING SHARES EXCLUDED FROM DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
| Three<br> Months Ended, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February<br> 28, 2025 | February<br> 29, 2024 | |||
| Convertible Notes | 21,723,598 | 9,546,247 | ||
| Stock Options | 129,838,187 | 129,638,187 | ||
| Total | 151,561,785 | 139,184,434 |
Stock-BasedCompensation
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For stock options issued to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.
Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options as noted above.
Leases
With the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The
Company leases its corporate offices. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company is a party to a two-year lease, with USMC, a related party, for 1,000 square feet of office space located in Ione, California (the “Ione Lease”) with respect to its corporate operations (See Note 12). Effective November 1, 2022, the Ione Lease was amended to extend the lease through October 2024 and to add an additional 700 square feet of office space for a total monthly rental price of $3,500 per month. Effective November 1, 2024, the lease was amended to change the term to month-to-month at $1,500 per month. We no longer lease the additional 700 square feet. We are evaluating moving our offices to a nearby location in the current year.
In
accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases. See Note 7 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Effective November 1, 2024, the lease was amended to change the term to a month-to-month lease at $1,500 per month. The Company no longer leases the additional 700 square feet. ASC 842 is no longer applicable.
IncomeTaxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
ExplorationStage
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. As of February 28, 2025, the Company was not engaged in any mine exploration.

4 – MINING RIGHTS
SnowWhite Mine located in San Bernardino County, CA – Deposit
On
November 28, 2014, US Mining and Minerals Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement in which it agreed to sell its fee simple property interest and certain mining claims to USMC. On December 1, 2014, USMC assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to the Company pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Assignment, the Company assumed the purchaser position under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of approximately 280 acres of mining property containing 5 placer mining claims known as the Snow White Mine located near Barstow, California in San Bernardino County. The property is covered by a Conditional Use Permit allowing the mining of the property and a Plan of Operation and Reclamation Plan has been approved by San Bernardino County and Bureau of Land Management. An initial deposit of $50,000 was paid to the Company and held in escrow and the Purchase Agreement required the payment of an additional $600,000 at the end of the escrow period. There was a delay in the original seller, Joseph Richard Matthewson, receiving a clear title to the property and a fully permitted project, both of which were conditions to the closing of the sale from US Mining and Minerals Corporation to the Company. In light of the foregoing, and the payment of an additional $25,000, the parties agreed to extend the closing. Due to delays in the Company securing the necessary funding to close the purchase of the Snow White Mine property, John Bremer, a shareholder and a director of the Company, paid $575,000 to acquire the property interest and mining claims on or about October 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer agreed to transfer title to the Company upon payment of $575,000 plus expenses to Mr. Bremer, however, the Company is under no obligation to do so. The mining claims require a minimum royalty payment of $3,500 per year to be made by the Company, which is paid by USMC on behalf of the Company.
On
April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Bremer Family 1995 Living Trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to which the Company will purchase the Snow White Mine for $836,000 (the “Purchase Price”) from the Trust. The Purchase Price plus 5% interest is payable in cash at closing. On April 14, 2022, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to April 14, 2023. On April 7, 2023, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to April 1, 2024. On July 12, 2024 the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to July 12, 2026.

LegalMatters
On
July 8, 2020, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico (“Calvanico”), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum of $600,000 in alleged stock value, plus interest, recovery of past and future wages, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages (collectively, the “Calvanico Claims”). The Company denied all Calvanico Claims. The Company believed Calvanico was owed nothing because it took the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019, in accordance with its terms, and was not renewed by the Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. The Company and Calvanico engaged in binding arbitration which concluded on February 3, 2023. On June 20, 2023, the arbitrator decided in favor of the Company with respect to Calvanico’s breach of contract, fraud and negligent representation and wrongful discharge claims and in favor of Calvanico for asserted attorney fee claims in accordance with Calvanico’s employment agreement with the Company. At a July 18, 2023, teleconference regarding a determination of attorney fees to be paid, the arbitrator established a briefing schedule for the parties to formally present their legal arguments on the issue. Calvanico’s brief in support of attorney fees was due and timely filed on August 15, 2023. The Company’s brief in opposition was due and timely filed on September 19, 2023. Calvanico’s reply brief was filed on October 4, 2023. On February 6, 2024, the Company agreed to pay $618,000 in six equal monthly payments of $103,000 with the first payment made February 8, 2024. $618,000 in payments have been made as of February 28, 2025.

| ● | the<br> impact of competitive products and pricing; |
| ● | supply<br> constraints or difficulties; |
| ● | the<br> retention and availability of key personnel; |

| ● | our<br> ability to successfully acquire, develop or commercialize new products; |
| ● | the<br> commercial success of our products; |
| ● | the<br> impact of any industry regulation; |
| ● | our<br> ability to develop existing mining projects or establish proven or probable reserves; |
| ● | our<br> dependence on one vendor for our minerals for our products; |
| ● | the<br> impact of potentially losing the rights to properties; and |
| ● | the<br> impact of the increase in the price of natural resources. |
We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report, except as required by law.
As used in this Quarterly Report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to PureBase Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PureBase AG”) and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PureBase AM”).
BusinessOverview
We are an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States, through our two subsidiaries, Purebase AG, and Purebase AM, respectively. The Company has not yet commenced mining operations and relies on USMC for its mineral resources extracted from mineral sites owned by US Mine LLC.
We obtain certain raw clay materials from USMC through a materials extraction agreement with US Mine LLC. US Mine LLC owns the mining property which USMC leases. USMC pays US Mine LLC a royalty, for which the Company reimburses USMC.

Agricultural Sector
We develop specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture. We have developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of leonardite, kaolin clay, laterite, and other natural minerals. These mineral and soil amendments are used to protect crops, plants and fruits from the sun and winter damage, to provide nutrients to plants, and to improve dormancy and soil ecology to help farmers increase the yields of their harvests. We are building a brand family under the parent trade name “Purebase,” consisting of its Purebase Shade Advantage WP product, a kaolin-clay based sun protectant for crops and Humic Advantage a humic acid product derived from leonardite.
Construction Sector
We are developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believes will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). We are developing SCMs for the construction material markets, particularly the cement markets that we believe can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, we believe there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction-materials sector.
We utilize the services of USMC for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation and product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC. A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors and owners of USMC.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by $43,540, or 9%, for the three months ended February 28, 2025, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in selling and general and administrative expenses of $68,703 for the three months ended February 28, 2025, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in professional services, offset by an increase in wages and related expenses and stock-based compensation.
Interest Expense, Related Parties
Interest expense increased by $5,256 for the three months ended February 28, 2025, as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2024, primarily due to increased borrowings on the lines of credit, advances from USMC, and a new convertible note payable, partially offset by conversion of five notes payable to common stock in January 2024.
Liquidityand Capital Resources
As of February 28, 2025, we had cash on hand of $19,990 and a working capital deficiency of $1,494,421, as compared to cash on hand of $28,100 and a working capital deficiency of $1,093,058 as of November 30, 2024. The increase in working capital deficiency is primarily a result of an increase in advances from USMC of $238,449, an increase in the line of credit with USMC of $101,551, an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $50,798, an increase in interest payable related parties of $21,753, an increase in convertible notes payable related parties of $5,500, a decrease in cash of $8,110, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses of $24,798.
The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2025, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses with cash advances from USMC and the sale of equity and convertible notes.
Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including funding from USMC in the form of a line of credit, will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
GoingConcern
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from inception through February 28, 2025 of $64,661,211, negative cash flows from operating activities of $348,110 for the three months ended February 28, 2025 and a working capital deficiency of $1,494,421 as of February 28, 2025. During the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company received net cash proceeds of $340,000 from USMC through a line of credit and additional advances. If the Company does not generate additional revenue and obtain equity and debt financing from USMC or other third parties, it will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations for the next nine months, following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There currently are no other arrangements or agreements for financing, and there can be no assurances that any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The increase in current assets as of February 28, 2025, is primarily due to the increase in prepaid expenses of $24,798, offset by a decrease in cash of $8,110. The increase in current liabilities is primarily a result of an increase in advances from USMC of $238,449, an increase in the line of credit with USMC of $101,551, an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $50,798, an increase in interest payable related parties of $21,753, and an increase in convertible notes payable related parties of $5,500.

ITEM
- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM
- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
MaterialWeaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by Sarbanes-Oxley is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company has determined that its internal control over financial reporting was ineffective due to the following material weaknesses:
| ● | Inadequate<br> segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and |
|---|---|
| ● | Lack<br> of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner. |
Management’sPlan to Remediate the Material Weakness
Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:
| ● | Continue<br> to establish appropriate segregation of duties to achieve internal control objectives; and |
|---|---|
| ● | Continue<br> to develop risk assessment policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of<br> operations on existing controls and procedures. |
Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changesin Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2025, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
