Venture Vanadium Inc.

(Formerly Aura Energy Inc.)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Venture Vanadium Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Venture Vanadium Inc. (Formerly Aura Energy Inc.) was previously engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province. This has now ceased. On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. We now intend to focus on the minerals and resources sector.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Note 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. We had no revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2020. We currently have losses and have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that we will depend, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. We intend to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful in this or any of our endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our year-end is October 31.

 

Use of Estimates

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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on us.

 

The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet

 

 

8

 

 

effective but recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA or the SEC would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements for the three months to January 31, 2020.

Mineral Properties

The Company will expense mineral property exploration expenditures when incurred.  When it has established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and following a decision to commence development, the costs subsequently incurred to develop a mine on the property prior to the start of mining operations are capitalized and will be amortized against production following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. Option payments and expenditures required to earn an interest in the properties are capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

 

Stock-based compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", an update that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This guidance was adopted by Venture Vanadium Inc for the financial year ended October 31, 2019. There was no material effect on the financial statements as a result of this adoption.

 

Revenue Recognition 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASC 606 adoption is on February 1, 2018. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Specifically, Section 606-10-50 requires an entity to provide information about: a. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers, including the disaggregation of revenue into appropriate categories; b. Contract balances, including the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities; c. Performance obligations, including when the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations and the transaction price that is allocated to the remaining performance obligations in a contract; d. Significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the requirements to those contracts.

 

Note 4 – RELATED PARTY LOANS

 

Related Party Loans are not covered by a formal loan agreement and are interest free with no fixed repayment date. They are due to Ian Ilsley, the company’s sole director and controlling shareholder, and were made following the change of control on May 29, 2019.

 

Note 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10), we have analyzed our operations subsequent to January 31, 2020 to the date these financial statements were issued and have determined that we do not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements

 

Note 6 – MINERAL PROPERTIES

 

On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.

 

Under the terms of the assignment agreement, we issued 50,000 shares to Ian Ilsley on June 21, 2019 and a further 50,000 shares ninety days thereafter in consideration for him having entered into the assignment agreement.

 

Under the terms of the option agreement, payments totaling $65,000 were made to the Optionor and 1,150,000 shares were issued to the Optionor. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended.  Under the

Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. These transactions are reflected in the accounts to January 31, 2020. This transaction is reflected in the financial statements to January 31, 2020 and have been capitalized in accordance with the company’s accounting policy noted in note 2 above.

 

Note 7 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Further to the company entering into the Split-Off Agreement dated May 29, 2019, pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the business component relating to the assets and liabilities taken over is reported as a discontinued operations. 

 

Note 8 – INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. As of January 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no outstanding warrants or options.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2019 for a discussion of some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Forward looking statement notice

Corporate History

 

Venture Vanadium Inc., formerly known as Aura Energy Inc. and as Arcom (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Venture Vanadium Inc. has only one officer and director who is Ian Ilsley. We were engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province. This activity has now ceased. On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.

 

Under the terms of the assignment agreement, we issued 50,000 shares to Ian Ilsley on June 21, 2019 and a further 50,000 shares ninety days thereafter in consideration for him having entered into the assignment agreement.

 

Under the terms of the option agreement, payments totaling $65,000 were made to the Optionor and 1,150,000 shares were issued to the Optionor. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. These transactions are reflected in the accounts to January 31, 2020.

 

Research and Development Expenditures

 

We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.

  

Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings

  

There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding entered into either voluntarily by us and involuntarily against us.

Reorganizations, Purchase or Sale of Assets

  

On February 1, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 12-for-1 forward split which increased the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 4,440,000 to 53,280,000.  Unless otherwise noted, all share amounts provided in this report reflect such reverse stock split.

 

Our assets comprise a 100% interest in over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.

  

Compliance with Government Regulation

  

We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the construction and operation of any facility in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities.

 

Employees and Employment Agreements

  

We have no employees, except our sole officer and director Ian Ilsley, as of the date of this report. We have no employment agreement with Mr. Ilsley. Our sole officer and director, Ian Ilsley, currently devotes approximately 30 hours per week to company matters. As our business and operations increase, we will assess the need for full-time management and administrative support personnel.

  

Legal Proceedings

  

There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates (any owners of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities) is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

 

Results of Operations

 

We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other avenues, the sale of equity or debt securities.

 

Revenue and cost of goods sold

 

For the three months ended January 31, 2020, we reported no revenue.

 

Operating expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, were $86,661 and the total operating expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2019, all of which related to discontinued activities, were $17,213. The operating expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020 included audit fees of $4,775; legal & professional fees of $12,700; rent expense of $3,903; regulatory filing fees of $4,717; director’s fees of $15,000; geologist’s and other technical fees of $38,000; travel, entertaining and subsistence of $5,511 and sundry general and administrative expenses of $2,055. The increase in expenditure reflects the increased activity by the company due to its new operations, its exploration activities and the strengthening of the management team.

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, was $86,661 and the net loss for the three-month period ended January 31, 2019, all of which related to discontinued activities, was $17,213.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of January 31, 2020, our total assets were $1,107,782 compared to $309,989 as of October 31, 2020; the increase resulting from the acquisition of the title to the 30 Desgrosbois Proerty claims which were previously under option to the company.

 

As of January 31, 2020, our current liabilities were $134,863 and Stockholder’s Equity was $972,919.

 

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

 

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was negative $67,207, compared with negative $16,062 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2019. The cash flows used in in operating activities for the three-month period ended January 31, 2019 related entirely to discontinued operations. The increase in cash flows used in the three-month period ended January 31, 2020 reflects the increased activity by the company due to its new operations, its exploration activities and the strengthening of the management team.

 

 

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

 

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, we used $105,000 of cash in investing activities which related to the acquisition of the title to the 30 Desgrosbois Proerty claims which were previously under option to the company. This compares with cash flows from investing activities in the corresponding period ending January 31, 2019 of $7,253 which related to the disposal of assets used in discontinued activities.

 

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, we used $5,000 of cash in financing activities, compared to inflows of $6,000 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2019. These were in connection with changes in related party loans in both periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

  

·      Have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; 

·         Provide an auditor attestation with respect to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; 

·         Comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); 

·         Submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and 

·         Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. 

  

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

  

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is

 

 

 

13

 

 

held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. However, even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or the auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, and we anticipate that they will issue another going concern opinion in connection with this fiscal year. This means that there is doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

  

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

  

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
