Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objections of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

 

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. The factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

 

our current lack of working capital;

 

our ability to obtain any necessary financing on acceptable terms;

 

timing and amount of funds needed for capital expenditures;

 

timely receipt of regulatory approvals;

 

our management team’s ability to implement our business plan;

 

effects of government regulation;

 

general economic and financial market conditions;

 

our ability to secure exploration permits for our prospective properties in Ghana;

 

our ability to develop our green mining business in Africa; and

 

the fact that our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require our management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Six Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited – Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

1.Description of Business

 

Blox, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 21, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The address of the Company is #1177 Avenue of Americas 5th Floor, New York, NY 10036.

 

The Company is primarily engaged in developing mineral exploration projects in Guinea, West Africa.

 

2.Basis of Presentation

 

(a)Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31.

 

(b)Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, Blox Energy Inc. and Blox Minerals Guinea. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have also been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring ones), considered necessary for the fair statement of results have been included in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending March 31, 2021, or future operating periods. For further information, see the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020, including the accounting policies and notes thereto.

 

(c)Reporting and Functional Currencies

 

The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the parent company is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and the functional currency of the subsidiaries is the US dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar.

 

Transactions:

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries using period end foreign currency exchange rates and expenses are translated using the exchange rate approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions during the reporting periods in which the expenses were transacted. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their historical foreign currency exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the determination of net income or loss for the period.

2.Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

(d)Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.

 

In applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made certain judgments that may have a significant effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Such judgments include the determination of the functional currencies and use of the going concern assumption.

 

Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include assumptions and estimates relating to asset impairment analysis, share-based payments and warrants, and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets.

 

(i)Determination of Functional Currencies

 

In determining the Company’s functional currency, it periodically reviews its primary and secondary indicators to assess the primary economic environment in which the entity operates in determining the Company’s functional currencies. The Company analyzes the currency that mainly influences labor, material and other costs of providing goods or services which is often the currency in which such costs are denominated and settled. The Company also analyzes secondary indicators such as the currency in which funds from financing activities such as equity issuances are generated and the funding dependency of the parent company whose predominant transactional currency is the Canadian dollar. Determining the Company’s predominant economic environment requires significant judgment.

 

(ii)Going Concern

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $50,455 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $35,359,152 as at September 30, 2020.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt and/or equity financing to continue operations. These condensed interim consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to sustain operations for the next fiscal year including plans to raise additional equity financing, control costs and reduce operating losses.

 

3.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the condensed interim consolidated 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.

4.Long Term Investments

 

       Fair Value as at 
       September 30,   March 31, 
    Number   2020   2020 
Common shares   3,333,333   $112,455   $46,993 
    1,000,000    33,737    14,098 
Total investment:       $146,192   $61,091 

 

On March 28, 2018, the Company participated in a private placement offering by its strategic partner, Ashanti Sankofa Inc (TSX.V- ASI) (“Ashanti” or “ASI”), which shares the same management group and board of directors as the Company (Note 12). The Company purchased 3,333,333 units at CAD$0.03 per unit for a total cost of $77,510 (CAD$100,000). Each unit consists of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of CAD$0.05 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the private placement. On the date of issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the common share and warrants to be $44,331 and $33,179, respectively.

 

On April 16, 2018, the Company participated in a private placement offering by Ashanti. The Company purchased 1,000,000 units at CAD$0.03 per unit for a total cost of $23,850 (CAD$30,000). Each unit consists of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of CAD$0.05 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the private placement. On the date of issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the common share and warrants to be $13,420 and $10,430, respectively.

 

As at September 30, 2020, the fair value of common shares was $146,192 which resulted in an unrealized gain of $85,101 (2019 – unrealized loss of $31,837) that was recorded in profit or loss. The share purchase warrants of ASI expired during the year ended March 31, 2020.

 

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. These changes became effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018. The most significant change for the Company, once ASU 2016-01 was adopted, was the accounting treatment for long term investments that were classified as available-for-sale. The accounting treatment used for the Consolidated Financial Statements through fiscal 2018 was that the long term investments, classified as available-for-sale, were carried at fair value, with net unrealized holding gains and losses being excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of Stockholders’ Deficiency until realized and the change in net unrealized holding gains and losses being reflected as comprehensive income (loss). Under ASU 2016-01, effective April 1, 2018, these long term investments continue to be measured at fair value, however, the changes in net unrealized holding gains and losses are now recognized through net income.

An exploration permit for the Property was granted by the Ministère des Mines et de la Géologie on August 20, 2013. As part of its due diligence, the Company obtained a legal opinion which confirmed that the license was in good standing at the time of acquisition. It is the Company’s intention to obtain an exploitation permit to allow the Company the right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15 years, with a possible 5-year extension. The Company has commenced work on the feasibility study required for obtaining this permit.

 

In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Property, the Company paid in cash $100,000 to BGL and $40,000 to EML and issued BGL and EML an aggregate of 6,514,350 shares of common stock of the Company (the “First Tranche Shares”), at a deemed price of $0.1765 per share, for an aggregate deemed value of $1,150,000. The First Tranche Shares were issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded the cash payment of $140,000, and $10,000 for an independent valuation of the Property. Additionally, $781,722 was capitalized to mineral property interests, being the fair value of the first tranche of shares. The fair value of the first tranche shares was based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the OTCQB on July 24, 2014.

 

Within 14 days of commercial gold production being publicly declared from ore mined from the Property, the Company will issue BGL and EML a second tranche of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Second Tranche Shares”). The number of Second Tranche Shares to be issued shall be calculated by dividing $1,150,000 by the volume weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock over a 20-day period preceding the issuance date. The Second Tranche Shares shall be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively.

6.Mineral Property Interest (continued)

 

The exploration license, which was originally granted on August 20, 2013, was extended by the Company until January 30, 2020, pending the results of its application for a mining license for the property (first submitted December 7, 2018). On February 17, 2020, the Company received notice from Minister of Mines and Geology, Republic of Guinea, revoking the Company’s exploration license for the Mansounia Gold Project. As a result of the revocation of the Company’s exploration license, all rights held by the Company and its partners in the Mansounia Gold Project have been terminated. The Company has since confirmed that its mining license application cannot proceed without a valid exploration license, and that it is ineligible to re-apply for an exploration license due to the expiration of its previous license. At March 31, 2020, management decided to write off the mineral property interest.

8.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 and based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

 

Level 1 – fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

Level 3 – fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

Level 2 and 3 financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2005, under the name “Nava Resources, Inc.” for the purpose of conducting mineral exploration activities. We were authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share. On January 4, 2007, we obtained written consent from our shareholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of our common stock from $0.001 to $0.00001 per share, which change was effected on February 28, 2007. Effective July 30, 2013, we changed our name from “Nava Resources, Inc.” to “Blox, Inc.”.

 

On July 9, 2020, the Company received notice from OTC Markets Group that the closing bid price of our common shares has closed below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days and no longer meets the Standards for Continued Eligibility for the OTCQB quotation tier as per the OTCQB Standards Section 2.3(2), which states that the Company must “maintain proprietary priced quotations published by a Market Maker in OTC Link with a minimum closing bid price of $0.01 per share on at least one of the prior thirty consecutive calendar days.”

 

As per Section 4.1 of the OTCQB Standards, the company will be granted a cure period of 90 calendar days during which the minimum closing bid price for the Company’s common stock must be $0.01 or greater for ten consecutive trading days in order to continue trading on the OTCQB marketplace. If the requirement is not met by October 7, 2020, the Company will be removed from the OTCQB marketplace and demoted to the OTC Pink reporting tier. In addition, if the Company’s closing bid price falls below $0.001 at any time for five consecutive trading days, the Company will be immediately removed from the OTCQB and demoted to the OTC Pink reporting tier. On October 8, 2020, the Company’s common shares started trading at OTC Pink sheet.

 

Recent Developments

 

Recently Discontinued Projects

 

Mansounia Property, Guinea, West Africa

 

Our former Mansounia exploration permit was acquired in 2013 and was secured based on our technical and financial capabilities to obtain a mining permit. The 2013 exploration permit was near expiration when acquired and was subsequently renewed for the maximum of four times permitted by the Guinea Mining Code. In December 2019, the Company submitted its final mining permit proposal to the Ministry of Mines. The ministry requested, in its discretion, that we provide evidence of funding to account for 15% of the capital required for project financing. The Company was unable to secure the required financing during prior to expiration of the final permit extension, and the permit was withdrawn by decree from the Ministry of Mines. Although it is our understanding the Ministry of Mines exercises considerable discretion regarding the extension and revocation of permits and the grant of mining licenses, the decree to revoke our exploration permit suggests that our application is no longer under consideration. With respect to the fate of the project, we anticipate that we will attempt to renegotiate a position for the Mansounia project once Guinea reopens its border to international travel (the country has been inaccessible due to COVID-19).

 

Current Business:

 

Pramkese, Osenase and Asamankese, Ghana, West Africa

 

On June 22, 2013, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Waratah Investments Limited (“Waratah”) whereby we agreed to purchase all of Waratah’s right, title, and interest in the Quivira Gold (“Quivira”) shares, of which Waratah holds 100% of the outstanding shares. As consideration for the Quivira shares, we agreed to issue to Waratah 60,000,000 shares of common stock and 60,000,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.05 for a period of five years from the closing date. Quivira, a subsidiary of Waratah, owns and operates gold and diamond mining properties in Ghana.

The closing of the agreement was subject to the completion of a private placement financing of up to US$1,500,000, which private placement was completed in April 2018. We issued 30,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of US$0.05 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of US$1,500,000. US$1,100,000 of the proceeds were advanced as non-interest bearing loans since 2014 and were utilized to cover general and administrative expenses, as well as to carry out exploration work on our mineral properties. The remaining balance of US$400,000 was received by April 2018. Each Unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.05 per share for a term of five years from the date of issuance.

 

Closing the Agreement is also conditional upon receiving legal opinions of Ghana counsel confirming various matters relating to the laws of Ghana, including corporate and title opinions; the Company receiving legal opinions of Australian counsel confirming various matters relating to the laws of Australia, including corporate and title opinions; completion of certain ongoing transactions by Quivira relating to the transfer of title to certain assets and to an assignment of debt; and preparation of U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements for Quivira.

 

Our directors conducted their first visit to Ghana in August 2015, when they visited the Birim Region where the three Ghanaian concessions are located. The objective was to carry out a geological reconnaissance over the areas to identify potentially favourable lithologies.  The directors inspected the existing field programs in Ghana and oversaw the planning and implementation of programs for the near future. Field work on the three concessions has since ceased and associated exploration permits have expired. Neither the Company nor Quivira holds any right title or claim to the concessions, but the Company endeavors to renew permits subject to securing sufficient financing. There is no guarantee that sufficient financing will be raise in a timely manner, if at all.

 

We intend to renew permits for three concessions in Ghana for their gold and diamond potential, and to explore the market for other viable assets. All three licences have expired and require an estimated $100,000 to renew. We are currently in discussions with with prospective equity investors to finance the renewal costs, however no agreement has been secured. Nevertheless, in order to secure necessary financing, we will be required to increase our authorized capital. The Asamankese, Osenase and Pramkese concessions are located near Asamankese, Akim Oda and Kade towns respectively. The concession is dominated by broad pene plain, dotted with moderate to high hills and remnant of rain forest. The area is hilly and rugged, running from 180m to 300m in elevation. Around the licences is the Atewa range about 1050m above sea level. There are little published records of extensive widely scattered gold mineralization old pits, shafts and adits, as well as artisanal gold workings in the concessions. In the mid-sixties, the Geological Survey Department of Ghana undertook reconnaissance mapping and soil geochemical survey in the area during which traces of gold were recorded in panned concentrates of geochemical samples.

 

  1. Osenase

 

Osenase is in the Birim Central Municipal District. The nearest town to the project area is the District Capital Akim Oda. This project has seen limited amount of gold exploration. The concession was previously held by Cornucopia Resources in the 1990s and was engaged in potential for a diamond resource. Paramount Mining Corporation held the concession for almost 6 years with limited amount of work. The limited work done was focused on diamondiferous hard rock potential at Atiankama Nkwanta. The presence of diamonds in what appears to be an in-situ unit exposed by the Francis Pits at Atiakama Nkwanta provides an opportunity to explain the source of some of the diamonds in the region. S Two oriented grids were sampled in 2007 but were never analysed for gold. The samples have been stored at the Manso camp to be analysed later. No subsequent work has been carried out to establish gold or diamond potential, and there is no guarantee that ore is present in economically significant quantity. 

 

  2. Asamankese

 

Asamankese is a 150Km2 Prospecting License (PL) in the West Akim District. The nearest town to the project area is the District Capital Asamankese. Asamankese was originally part of Osenase under a reconnaissance licence. In 2006, about 4 soil-oriented grids on 800m x 50m was established and sampled. The samples were stored at the Manso camp to be analysed later. The samples are still in storage at the Manso camp. A total of 436 samples representing two of the gridlines L1600N and L2400N at 800m apart were later on analysed for gold. The samples were sent to SGS Tarkwa for 2kg BLEG analysis. Results received were not encouraging for gold, with only one modest spike of 170 ppb Au, associated with alluvials. A limited stream sediment program began in November 2008 but could not be completed due to financial constraints. About 108 stream sediment samples were collected and panned for visible gold out of a total 183 planned. No laboratory analysis was carried out. About 80 sample points are still yet to be sampled.

  3. Pramkese

 

Pramkese is a 66 square kilometres Prospecting License (PL) in the Kwaebibirim District located in the Birim Diamond Field. The nearest town to the project area is the District Capital Kade. Limited reconnaissance work was carried out in 2009 and the licence was converted to a Prospecting Licence. The exercise concentrated on the south of the town of Pramkese. Ten (10) alluvial pits were dug and sampled. The samples collected were panned and hand jigged for gold and diamond respectively. In the early 90’s, a fair amount of work was done on the concession for both alluvial gold and diamond by Basogard. Basogard defined some alluvial gold and diamond resources which were never investigated.

 

The company is now in discussions with various potential partners to explore and define the potential of these concessions, however no definitive agreements have been reached. There is no guarantee that any agreements will be reached or that permits will be secured.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred a net loss of $50,455 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, and have incurred cumulative losses since inception of $35,359,152. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to continue obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to significantly curtail or cease operations.

 

We will need to raise additional funds to finance continuing operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional funds. Without sufficient additional financing, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in this quarterly report and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

The net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $13,076 as compared to the net loss and comprehensive loss for three months ended September 30, 2019 of $262,912. Operating expenses for the 2nd quarter totaled $37,338 compared to $69,878, in 2019 a decrease of $32,540. Some of the more items contributing to the net loss and comprehensive loss for the 2nd quarter of 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

Exploration expenses of $Nil (2019 - $10,408). The Company currently will not involve the exploration activities due to the loss of Mansounia exploration license.

 

Consulting and professional fees of $21,033 (2019 - $42,997). The decrease is result of cutting back the management fees in the current quarter.

 

Loss on the investment in warrants of $Nil (2019 - $65,507). The fair value of warrants of ASI is $Nil in the current quarter due to the warrants expired.

 

Accretion of $9,130 (2019 - $16,788). The decrease in accretion is due to only one convertible note is still outstanding in the current quarter when compared to two convertible notes in 2019.

 

Unrealized gain on the investment in common shares of $34,899 (2019 - $100,113 unrealized loss). The unrealized gain is due to holding the investment in Ashanti Sankofa Inc’s (TSX.V-ASI)’ common shares. The market value of ASI’s common shares increased for the current quarter.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

The net loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was $50,455 as compared to the net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2019 of $217,381. Operating expenses for two quarters totaled $107,975 compared to $137,276 in 2019 a decrease of $29,301. Some of the more items contributing to the net loss and comprehensive loss for two quarters of 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

Exploration expenses of $Nil (2019 - $35,513). The Company currently will not involve the exploration activities due to the loss of Mansounia exploration license.

 

Consulting and professional fees of $43,824 (2019 - $77,502). The decrease is result of cutting back the management fees in the current quarter.

 

Loss on the investment in warrants of $Nil (2019 - $20,854). The fair value of warrants of ASI is Nil in the current quarter due to the warrants expired.

 

Accretion of $18,391 (2019 - $16,788). The accretion of the convertible debenture was recognized in both 2020 and 2019.

 

Default penalties of $35,000 (2019 - $Nil). The Default penalties, a non-cash expense incurred is due to the loss of Mansounia property.

 

Unrealized gain on the investment in common shares of $85,101 (2019 - $31,837 unrealized loss). The unrealized gain is due to holding the investment in Ashanti Sankofa Inc’s (TSX.V-ASI)’ common shares. The market value of ASI’s common shares decreased for the current quarter.

 

Management anticipates operating expenses will materially increase in future periods as we focus on green mineral development and incur increased costs as a result of being a public company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Investing activities

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, there were no investing activities incurred.

 

Financing activities

 

There were convertible promissory notes issued in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our present and near-term cash needs.  We will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements.  For the next 12 months we estimate that our capital needs will be $500,000 to $750,000 and we currently have approximately $18,000 in cash. We will seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

 

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 that is material to our stockholders.
