PUREBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – organization and business operations

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2010, under the name Port of Call Online, Inc. to create a web-based service that would offer boaters an easy, convenient, fun, easy to use, online resource to help them plan and organize their boating trips. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization consummated on December 23, 2014, the Company changed its business focus to the identification, acquisition, exploration, development and full-scale exploitation of industrial and natural mineral properties in the United States for the development of products for the construction and agriculture markets. In line with this business focus, the Company changed its name to PureBase Corporation in January 2015.

The Company is headquartered in Ione, California.

Business Overview

The Company, through its two divisions, Purebase Ag and Purebase SCM, is engaged in the agricultural and construction-materials sectors. In the agricultural sector, the Company’s business is to develop specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments, and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture.

In the construction sector, the Company’s focus in 2020 has been to develop and test a kaolin-based product that will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality SCM’s. The Company is developing a 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 poducts in the construction-materials sector.

In the agricultural sector, the Company has 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.

The Company is 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. It is also involved in the early testing of soil amendment products based on humic and fulvic acids derived from leonardite. Other agricultural products are in the development stage.

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 mineral and metal projects throughout North America, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation and for product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals to be utilized by the Company is obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC. A. Scott Dockter and John Bremer are officers, directors, and owners.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

The accompanying unaudited 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. At May 31, 2021, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of approximately $13,398,000 and working capital deficit of approximately $1,101,000. For the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $621,000 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $526,000. 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 2021, 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 primarily with additional infusions of cash from advances from an affiliate, the sale of equity, and convertible notes. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

7

The Company’s plan, through the continued promotion of its services to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover its anticipated expenses. The Company is currently exploring several options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including issuances of equity securities or equity-linked securities from 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 will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. However, there currently are no arrangements or agreements for such financing and management cannot guarantee any 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 issue date of these this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease operations completely.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company 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 explanatory notes for the year ended November 30, 2020 in our Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2021 with the SEC. The results of the three and six months ended May 31, 2021 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and wholly-owned subsidiaries PureBase AG and USAM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of 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 will be affected.

8

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Revenue

The Company derives revenues from the sale of its agricultural products. 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 risk of loss to the customer.

Practical Expedients

	As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including:

●	Significant Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
●	Unsatisfied Performance Obligations – all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 60 and therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period.
●	Shipping and Handling Activities – the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.
●	Right to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date the Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020.

9

Account Receivable

The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. At May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company has determined that an allowance of $18,277 for doubtful accounts was necessary.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.

Equipment	3-5 years
Autos and trucks	5 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 $620,000 in property and equipment that it acquired on May 1, 2020. As of May 31, 2021, the Company has not put the acquired property and equipment to use. As such, the Company has not recorded depreciation.

Impairment of 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. 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 and six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020.

Shipping and Handling

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. There were no shipping and handling costs incurred during the three and six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $42,000 and $2,052 for the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $26,000 and $490 for the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

Fair Value 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 1:

Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

10

Level 2:	Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3:	Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company’s debt and interest payable on the notes approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 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, the options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months May 31, 2021 and 2020.

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 position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Stock-Based Compensation

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 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 generally 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 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 noted above.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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 income 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 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 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 consolidated statements of operations.

Snow White 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. In contemplation of the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, on December 1, 2014, USMC, a related party, 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 involves 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 the BLM. An initial deposit of $50,000 was paid to 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 closing. 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 on or about October 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer will transfer title to the Company when the Company pays Mr. Bremer $575,000 plus expenses, 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.

During the year ended November 30, 2017, USMC, agreed to offset the $75,000 deposit against money owed to USMC. As a result, the purchase price is $650,000 plus expenses. Mr. Bremer has not restricted the Company from continuing its exploration on or access to the Snow White mine property.

On September 5, 2019, the Board approved the discontinuance of all mining and related activities at the Snow White project. The Company has no further obligation related to this project.

On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Bremer Family 1995 Living Trust, a related party through 19% beneficial ownership of the Company, pursuant to which the Company will purchase the Snow White Mine for $836,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price plus 5% interest shall be payable in full in cash at the closing which can occur at any time before April 1, 2022. As of May 31, 2021, the Company has yet to close on the purchase.

Legal Matters

On July 8, 2020, former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico (“Calvanico”), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum amount 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 believes Calvanico is owed nothing because it takes the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019 in the normal course, and was not renewed by Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. On February 14, 2020, the Company requested in writing that Calvanico exercise his stock options within 30 days. Calvanico failed to do so. To date, Calvanico has not exercised his stock options. This dispute is currently in the midst of the arbitration discovery phase. An arbitration hearing date has been scheduled for January 24, 2022.

On January 11, 2019, the Company filed a complaint in the Nevada District Court for Washoe County (Case # CV19-00097) against Agregen International Corp (“Agregen”) and Robert Hurtado alleging the misuse of proprietary and confidential information acquired by Mr. Hurtado while employed by the Company as VP of Agricultural Research and Development. Mr. Hurtado was terminated in March 2018 and since that time the Company alleges that he conspired with Agregen to improperly use proprietary and confidential information to compete with the Company which constitute breaches of the non-compete and confidentiality provisions of his employment agreement with the Company. The Company is seeking $100,000,000 in monetary damages. On March 14, 2019 Agregen and Mr. Hurtado filed an answer to the Company’s Complaint that the allegations were false. An Early Case Conference was held on April 26, 2019 and a pre-trial conference was held on July 10, 2019. On March 13, 2020, the Company filed a First Amended Complaint, adding Todd Gauer and John Gingerich as additional defendants. A default has been taken against Mr. Gingerich. Litigation is actively proceeding against Mr. Hurtado, Mr. Gauer, and Agregen. The June 2021 trial date was postponed due to Covid-related delays but is in the process of being rescheduled.

On March 29, 2019, the Company was served with a complaint filed by Superior Soils Supplements LLC (“Superior Soils”) in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Kings (Case #19C-0124) relating to 64 truckloads of soil amendments delivered to a customer by the Company on behalf of Superior Soils. Superior Soils alleged that the soil amendments were not labeled correctly requiring the entire shipment of product to be returned to the Company. The complaint alleges breach of contract, misrepresentations, fraudulent concealment and unfair competition. The complaint seeks damages of approximately $300,000. The Company filed its answer on May 6, 2019, denying responsibility for the mis-labelling and denying any liability for damages therefrom. The parties are currently in settlement negotiations. The Company believes its potential exposure to be approximately $400,000 and, as such, has accrued this amount on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2021.

On April 16, 2021, LexisNexis, a division of RELX, Inc., filed a Complaint against the Company and its former attorney, Michael Kessler, Esq., in the Superior Court of the State of California, Amador County (Case No. 21-CV-12123). This is a limited jurisdiction lawsuit seeking payment of $18,211. The basis of the Complaint is that Mr. Kessler incurred this debt to LexisNexis, a legal research company. Mr. Kessler is alleged to have failed to pay the annual bill. After the matter was sent to collections, it is the Company’s understanding that Mr. Kessler claimed that he was employed by the Company as its general counsel at the time and that Purebase is therefore responsible for payment. The Company strongly disputes this characterization and maintains that it has no obligation to LexisNexis under the facts or the law. The Company and LexisNexis are engaged in settlement negotiations. The Company believes its potential exposure to be $0 and that the lawsuit will be dismissed.

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 (“USAM”).

Business Overview

The Company, through its two divisions, Purebase Ag and Purebase SCM, is engaged in the agricultural and construction-materials sectors.

In the agricultural sector, the Company’s business is to develop specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments, and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture.

21

In the construction sector, the Company’s focus since 2020 has been to develop and test a kaolin-based product that will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality SCM’s. The Company is developing a 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.

In the agricultural sector, the Company has 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.

The Company is 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. It is also involved in the early testing of soil amendment products based on humic and fulvic acids derived from leonardite. Other agricultural products are in the development stage.

The Company utilizes the services of US Mine Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“USMC”), and a significant shareholder of the Company for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects throughout North America, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation and for product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals to be utilized by the Company is obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC. A. Scott Dockter and John Bremer are officers, directors, and owners of USMC.

Recent Developments

Minerals Extraction Agreement and Convertible Debt – US Mine LLC

On May 27, 2021, the Company entered in a Materials Extraction Agreement (the “Extraction Agreement”) with US Mine LLC, a California limited liability company (“US Mine”), pursuant to which the Company acquired the right to extract up to 100,000,000 of metakaolin supplementary cementitious materials (“SCM”) from property owned by US Mine in Ione, California (the “Property”), for a purchase price of $50,000,000, which was paid through the Company’s issuance to US Mine of a ten-year convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $50,000,000. The Extraction Agreement will remain in effect until such time as 100,000,000 tons of SCM have been extracted from the Property, or the Extraction Agreement is sooner terminated.

On October 6, 2021, prior to the consummation of activities under the Extraction Agreement, the Company and US Mine executed an amendment to the Extraction Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Note was cancelled and an option to purchase an aggregate of 116,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.38 per share until April 6, 2028, was issued to US Mine as compensation. Shares subject to the option vest as to 58,000,000 shares on April 6, 2022, 29,000,000 shares on October 6, 2022, and 29,000,000 shares on April 6, 2023.

In addition, the Company will pay US Mine LLC a royalty fee of $5.00 per ton of materials extracted and any royalty not paid in a timely manner will be subject to 15% interest per annum and compounded monthly.

A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also owners and manager members of US Mine.

22

Revenues

Revenue increased by $28,381, or 1,752%, for the three months ended May 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to the Company’s clients not buying product during the three months ended May 31, 2020 due to buying more than they anticipated needing in prior periods.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $219,405, or 113%, for the three months ended May 31, 2021, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2020, due to an increase of approximately (i) $38,000 in stock based compensation, (ii) $26,000 in advertising and marketing costs, (iii) $140,000 in payroll expenses resulting primarily from the Company hiring a chief financial officer and additional workforce.

Product fulfillment and exploration and mining expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2021 increased by $12,159, or 353%, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to the increase in revenue during the three months ended May 31, 2021.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) decreased by $11,114, or 345%, for the three months ended May 31, 2021, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the Company issuing $50,597,769 of convertible debt to USMC during the three months ended May 31, 2021.

	May 31,			May 31,
	2021			2020			Variance
Revenues	$	30,000		$	6,129		$	23,871

Net Loss	$	(644,343	)	$	(348,458	)	$	(295,885	)

Revenues

Revenue increased by $23,871, or 389%, for the six months ended May 31, 2021 as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to the Company’s clients not buying product during the six months ended May 31, 2020 due to buying more than they anticipated needing in prior periods.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $278,353, or 78%, for the six months ended May 31, 2021, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2020, due to an increase of approximately (i) $18,000 in stock based compensation, (ii) $40,000 in advertising and marketing costs, (iii) $190,000 in payroll expenses resulting primarily from the Company hiring a chief financial officer and additional workforce.

23

Product fulfillment and exploration and mining expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2021 increased by $12,514, or 241%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to the increase in revenue during the six months ended May 31, 2021.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) decreased by $28,889, or 478%, for the six months ended May 31, 2021, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the Company issuing $51,401,769 of convertible debt to USMC during the six months ended May 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2021, we had $12,890 in cash on hand and a working capital deficiency of $1,101,498, as compared to cash on hand of $7,450 and a working capital deficiency of $1,792,674 as of November 30, 2020. The decrease in working capital deficiency is mainly due to an approximate $1,401,000 decrease in due to affiliated entities as a result of the conversion of $1,401,000 in payables to a convertible note payable.

Future Financing

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy. We do not believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. We have had negative cash flow from operating activities as we have not yet begun to generate sufficient and consistent revenues to cover our operating expenses. Until we are able to establish a sufficient revenue stream from operations our ability to meet our current financial liabilities and commitments will be primarily dependent upon proceeds from outside capital sources including USMC, an affiliated entity. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate. Even if we are able to secure outside financing, it may not be available in the amounts or times when we require or on favorable terms. We currently do not have any agreements or understandings for additional financing. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan or cease operations.

Furthermore, such outside financing would likely take the form of bank loans, private offerings of debt or equity securities, advances from affiliates or some combination of these. The issuance of additional equity securities would dilute the stock ownership of current investors while incurring debt by the Company would increase the Company’s cash flow requirements and may subject the Company to restrictions on its operations and corporate actions.

Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from inception through May 31, 2021, of approximately $13.4 million, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $569,000 from USMC, an affiliated entity. Presently the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its debt obligations in the twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance the capital requirements of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with its fund-raising initiatives.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

24

Working Capital Deficiency

Our working capital deficiency as of May 31, 2021, in comparison to our working capital deficiency as of November 30, 2020, can be summarized as follows:

	May 31,		November 30,
	2021		2020
Current assets	$	46,404	$	15,340
Current liabilities		1,147,902		1,808,014
Working capital deficiency	$	1,101,498	$	1,792,674

The increase in current assets is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $30,000. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to a decrease in due to affiliated entities of approximately $821,000 during the six months ended May 31, 2021.

Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended
	May 31, 2021			May 31, 2020
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(525,921	)	$	(396,211	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		531,361			387,811
Increase (decrease) in cash	$	5,440		$	(8,400	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $525,921 for the six months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to a net loss of $644,343 which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $101,687 related to stock based compensation and amortization of debt discount and $16,735 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used in operating activities was $396,211 for the six months ended May 31, 2020, primarily due to a net loss of $348,458 which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $1,539 related to stock based compensation, amortization of debt discount, and lawsuit settlement liability and $46,214 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result in increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

There were no investing activities during the six months ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended May 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $531,361, primarily due to $569,461 advanced to the Company by USMC.

For the six months ended May 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $387,811, which was primarily due to $178,000 received from convertible notes payable with USMC and $161,000 advanced to the Company by USMC.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Procedures

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Our recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

ITEM 3. 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 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) 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 May 31, 2021 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), 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 ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

●	Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
●	Lack of formal policies and procedures;
●	Lack of a functioning audit committee and independent directors on the Company’s board of directors to oversee financial reporting responsibilities;
●	Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner;
●	Lack of personnel with GAAP experience.

We have engaged a third-party financial operations consulting firm to assist with the preparation of SEC reporting.

Our management feels the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and hope to implement changes in the future if and when resources permit, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.

26

Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On March 25, 2021, Michael Fay resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as set forth below, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company or its subsidiaries area a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record of beneficially or more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

On July 8, 2020, former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico (“Calvanico”), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum amount 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 believes Calvanico is owed nothing because it takes the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019 in the normal course, and was not renewed by Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. On February 14, 2020, the Company requested in writing that Calvanico exercise his stock options within 30 days. Calvanico failed to do so. To date, Calvanico has not exercised his stock options. This dispute is currently in the midst of the arbitration discovery phase. An arbitration hearing date has been scheduled for January 24, 2022.

On January 11, 2019, the Company filed a complaint in the Nevada District Court for Washoe County (Case # CV19-00097) against Agregen International Corp (“Agregen”) and Robert Hurtado alleging the misuse of proprietary and confidential information acquired by Mr. Hurtado while employed by the Company as VP of Agricultural Research and Development. Mr. Hurtado was terminated in March 2018 and since that time the Company alleges that he conspired with Agregen to improperly use proprietary and confidential information to compete with the Company which constitute breaches of the non-compete and confidentiality provisions of his employment agreement with the Company. The Company is seeking $100,000,000 in monetary damages. On March 14, 2019 Agregen and Mr. Hurtado filed an answer to the Company’s Complaint that the allegations were false. An Early Case Conference was held on April 26, 2019 and a pre-trial conference was held on July 10, 2019. On March 13, 2020, the Company filed a First Amended Complaint, adding Todd Gauer and John Gingerich as additional defendants. A default has been taken against Mr. Gingerich. Litigation is actively proceeding against Mr. Hurtado, Mr. Gauer, and Agregen. The June 2021 trial date was postponed due to Covid-related delays, but is in the process of being rescheduled.

On March 29, 2019, the Company was served with a complaint filed by Superior Soils Supplements LLC (“Superior Soils”) in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Kings (Case #19C-0124) relating to 64 truckloads of soil amendments delivered to a customer by the Company on behalf of Superior Soils. Superior Soils alleged that the soil amendments were not labeled correctly requiring the entire shipment of product to be returned to the Company. The complaint alleges breach of contract, misrepresentations, fraudulent concealment and unfair competition. The complaint seeks damages of approximately $300,000. The Company filed its answer on May 6, 2019, denying responsibility for the mis-labelling and denying any liability for damages therefrom. The parties are currently in settlement negotiations. The Company believes its potential exposure to be approximately $400,000 and, as such, has accrued this amount on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2021.

On April 16, 2021, LexisNexis, a division of RELX, Inc., filed a Complaint against the Company and its former attorney, Michael Kessler, Esq., in the Superior Court of the State of California, Amador County (Case No. 21-CV-12123). This is a limited jurisdiction lawsuit seeking payment of $18,211.30. The basis of the Complaint is that Mr. Kessler incurred this debt to LexisNexis, a legal research company. Mr. Kessler is alleged to have failed to pay the annual bill. After the matter was sent to collections, it is the Company’s understanding that Mr. Kessler claimed that he was employed by Purebase Corporation as its general counsel at the time and that the Company is therefore responsible for payment. The Company strongly disputes this characterization and maintains that it has no obligation to LexisNexis under the facts or the law. The Company and LexisNexis are engaged in settlement negotiations. The Company believes its potential exposure to be $0 and that this lawsuit will be dismissed.
