NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at October 31, 2019 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

NOTE 2 – Going concern

 

The Company has incurred losses from operations and requires additional funds for further exploratory activity and to maintain its claims prior to attaining a revenue generating status. There are no assurances that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, equity financings, debt financings or joint venture agreements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fair Value

 

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

Warrant and convertible note derivative liability at January 31, 2019   $ 58,656       -       -     $ 58,656  

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible notes payable, and derivative liability. It is management’s opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the derivative liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the derivative liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liability.

NOTE 4 – Related party transactions

 

On January 11, 2019, we discontinued renting an office month-to-month from James Briscoe, a director who resigned on September 23, 2019. An amount of $2,610 of rent was unpaid as of October 31, 2019.

 

At October 31, 2019, we had a balance of accrued unpaid wages of $759,949 to James Briscoe. We had a balance of accrued unpaid wages of $36,137 to Patricia Madaris, CFO. Additionally, we had a balance of accrued unpaid wages of $15,625 to a former President.

 

We had an option to explore 1 standard federal lode mining claim at the East Silverbell project and 29 standard federal lode mining claims at the Walnut Creek project from JABA. James Briscoe, (a former director)  controls JABA and the estate of Dr. J. M. Guilbert (deceased), a former director of the Company, holds a small stock position, as well. We paid $4,650 in rental fees to maintain these mineral claims until September 1, 2019 during the year ended January 31, 2019. The original option agreement was for the period from April 11, 2008 through January 1, 2011. The Company did not retain or renew the option for JABA and no further payments for rental fees for JABA were paid.

 

At October 31, 2019, we had accounts payable to JABA of $34,798, which is reflected as accounts payable to related party on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 7 – Derivative Liabilities

 

The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 8), that became convertible during the nine months ended October 31, 2019, qualified it as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These convertible notes tainted all other equity linked instruments including outstanding warrants and fixed rate convertible debt on the date that the instrument became convertible.

 

The valuation of the derivative liability of the warrants was determined through the use of a Monte Carlo options model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying common stock via simulation, and then calculates the associated exercise value (i.e. “payoff”) of the option for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to a current valuation date resulting in the fair value of the option.

The valuation of the derivative liability attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of a Monte Carlo model that values the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash, stock, or warrants) of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and elastic volatility (increasing as stock price decreases). The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of the derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes. The features in the notes that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion features with the reset provisions, the call/redemption/prepayment options, and the default provisions. Based on these features, there are six primary events that can occur; payments are made in cash; payments are made with stock; the note holder converts upon receiving a redemption notice; the note holder converts the note; the issuer redeems the note; or the Company defaults on the note. The model simulates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as redemption likelihood, default likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the notes based on management projections. This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liability.

 

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible note when it became convertible and upon settlement, and warrants upon tainting, were as follows:

 

  The stock projections are based on the historical volatilities for each date. These volatilities were in the 166% to 270.9% range. The stock price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and a constant volatility, starting with the market stock price at each valuation date;
     
  An event of default would not occur during the remaining term of the note;
     
  Conversion of the notes to stock would be completed monthly after any holding period and would be limited based on: 5% of the last 6 months average trading volume and the ownership limit identified in the contract assuming the underlying number of common shares increases at 1% per month.
     
  The effective discount was determined based on the historical trading history of the Company based on the specific pricing mechanism in each note;
     
  The Company would not have funds available to redeem the notes during the remaining term of the convertible notes;
     
  Discount rates were based on risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument.
     
  The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price;
     
  The Holder would exercise the warrant after any holding period prior to maturity at target prices starting at 2 times the exercise price for the Warrants or higher subject to monthly limits of: 5% of the last 6 months average trading volume increasing by 1% per month and the ownership limit identified in the contract assuming the underlying number of common shares increases at 1% per month.

 

Using the results from the model, the Company recorded a derivative liability during the nine months ended October 31, 2019 of $146,630 for newly granted and existing warrants (see Note 6) that were tainted and a derivative liability of $64,016 for the fair value of the convertible feature included in the Company’s convertible debt instruments. The derivative liability recorded for the convertible feature created a “day 1” derivative loss of $14,016 and a debt discount of $50,000 that was amortized over the remaining term of the note using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense related to the amortization of this debt discount for the nine months ended October 31, 2019, was $50,000. The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the derivative liability was $0 as the note was fully converted by October 31, 2019.

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2019, the Company recorded a reclassification from derivative liability to equity of $136,513  for warrants becoming untainted and $82,438 due to the conversions of a portion of the Company’s convertible notes. The Company also recorded the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as a gain of $36,335 to reflect the value of the derivative liability for warrants and convertible notes as of October 31, 2019. The Company did not have a derivative liability as of October 31, 2019 since none of the outstanding notes remained convertible during the period and consequently, the outstanding warrants were no longer tainted.

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liability:

Business Development

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of our company. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004, we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk was dissolved on June 3, 2019. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on our mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp (“Liberty Star”) to reflect our current general exploration for base and precious metals. We are in the exploration phase of operations and have not generated any revenues from operations.

 

In October 2014, we formed our wholly owned subsidiary, Hay Mountain Super Project LLC (“HMSP LLC”), to serve as the primary holding company for development of the potential ore bodies encompassed in the Hay Mountain area of interest in Arizona. On March 5, 2019 we changed the name of Hay Mountain Super Project LLC to Hay Mountain Holdings LLC. On April 11, 2019 we formed a new subsidiary named Earp Ridge Mines LLC wholly owned by Hay Mountain Holdings LLC.

 

Our Current Business

 

We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the States of Arizona and the Southwest USA. Claims in the State of Arizona are held in the name of Liberty Star. We use the term “Super Project” to indicate a project in which numerous mineral targets have been identified, any one or more of which could potentially contain commercially viable quantities of minerals. Our significant projects are described below.

 

13
 

 

Tombstone Super Project (“Tombstone”): Tombstone is located in Cochise County, Arizona and covers the Tombstone caldera and its environs. Within the Tombstone caldera is the Hay Mountain target where we are concentrating our work at this time. We plan to ascertain whether the Tombstone, Hay Mountain claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead, zinc, manganese and other metals including Rare Earth Elements (REE’s). We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

 

East Silver Bell Porphyry Copper Project (“East Silver Bell”): East Silver Bell is located northwest of Tucson, Arizona. East Silver Bell was under option to the Company from JABA (US) Inc. We have decided to not renew that option in 2019.

 

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties in determining the validity of certain claims, as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. We have investigated title to all the Company’s mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties retained are in good standing.

 

The mineral resource business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. We have not found any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities.

 

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a commercially viable mineral deposit, known as an “ore reserve.”

 

To date, we have not generated any revenues. Our ability to pursue our business plan and generate revenues is subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, and we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

Results of Operations

 

Material Changes in Financial Condition for the Nine-Month Period Ended October 31, 2019

 

We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $42,015 as of October 31, 2019 compared to $890 as of January 31, 2019. We had negative working capital of $1,658,045  as of October 31, 2019 compared to $1,695,505 as of January 31, 2019. We used $254,375  of net cash in operating activities during the nine months ended October 31, 2019 which was utilized for working capital. We also utilized our cash funds to continue exploration activities at our Hay Mountain mineral lands by working on geochemical interpretation of the soil, rock chip and vegetation sampling and ZTEM (aeormagnetics and aero electromagnetics). We purchased $40,837 of new equipment during the nine months ended October 31, 2019. We have been raising capital primarily by issuing convertible promissory notes, related party notes and the sale of common stock. We intend to continue to raise capital from such sources. In addition to seeking sources of funding through the sale of equity, we may seek to enter into joint venture agreements, or other types of agreements with other companies to finance our projects for the long term. In addition, we may choose to sell a portion of our assets to finance our projects. Should our properties prove to be commercially viable, we may be in a position to seek debt financing to help build infrastructure, and eventually we may obtain revenues from commercial mining of our properties.

Material Changes in Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended October 31, 2019 and 2018  

 

We had a net loss of $171,667 and $238,290  for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019, respectively, compared to a net loss of $276,815 and $1,067,093 for the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2018 respectively.

 

During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019, we had an increase of $14,258 and $9,262, respectively, in geological and geophysical expense compared to the three and nine months  ended October 31, 2018, due primarily to an increase in exploration activity and land rental fees for mineral claims. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019, we had a decrease of $18,672 and $56,369, respectively, in salaries and benefit expense compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018, due primarily to the change in our CEO in December 2018. During the nine months ended October 31, 2019, we had a decrease in public relations expense of $209,216, compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2018, due primarily to a decrease in stock-based compensation issued for public relations services. The increase in legal expenses of $18,498 and $9,976 for the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were primarily the result of increased use of legal services related to operations and organizational matters.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Liberty Star have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019. The critical accounting policies adopted by our company are as follows:

 

Going Concern

 

Since we have not generated any revenue, we have negative cash flows from operations and negative working capital and we have included a reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2019. Our total stockholders’ deficit at October 31, 2019 was approximately $1.6 million.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Mineral claims

 

We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as charged to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, we do not have any proven mineral resources on any of our mineral properties.

 

Convertible promissory notes

 

We reviewed the convertible promissory notes and the related subscription agreements to determine the appropriate reporting within the consolidated financial statements. We report convertible promissory notes as liabilities at their carrying value less unamortized discounts in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. We record conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and report them as derivative liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. No gain or loss is reported when the notes are converted into shares of our common stock in accordance with the note’s terms.

 

16
 

 

Common stock purchase warrants

 

We report common stock purchase warrants as equity unless a condition exists which requires reporting as a derivative liability at fair market value. For common stock purchase warrants reported as a derivative liability, as well as new and modified warrants reported as equity, we utilize a Monte Carlo options model in order to determine fair value.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at October 31, 2019, which is the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out by Mr. Brett Gross, our principal executive officer and Ms. Patricia Madaris, our principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Brett Gross and Ms. Patricia Madaris have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedures will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for the quarter ended October 31, 2019 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended October 31, 2019 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In July 2019, the Company issued 43,215,212 shares of its common stock and 21,607,606 warrants to an investor, who also subsequently became a director, for proceeds of $50,000, or $0.001157 per share. The warrants have a three-year term and are exercisable at any time at an exercise price of $0.00162.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and under Item 104 of Regulation S-K, each operator of a coal or other mine is required to include disclosures regarding certain mine safety results in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. The operation of our mine(s) that may be developed in the future would be subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. We do not own any mines in the United States and as a result, this information is not required.

None.
