未经审计的简明合并财务报表注释

 

1. 公司及重大会计政策

 

这些未经审计的中期汇总的经营报表是由爱达荷战略资源公司(以下简称“IDR”,“爱达荷战略”或“公司”)的管理层按照美国一般公认的会计原则编制的,用于中期财务信息。因此,它们不包括一般公认会计原则要求的所有完整合并财务报表所需的信息和脚注。根据公司管理层的意见,已经包括了为了对中期汇总的经营报表作出公正陈述而认为必要的所有调整(仅包括正常的周期性应计。

 

根据美国通行的会计原则编制基本报表需要使用会计估计和假设,这些会计估计和假设会影响资产和负债的披露金额,已知的或存在的相关资产和负债以及财务报表发布日期前的披露,以及报告期间内的收入和支出金额。对这些估计和假设的不确定性在公司编制的合并基本报表中是固有的;因此,实际结果可能会与这些估计和假设有所不同,这可能会对公司的合并财务状况和经营业绩报告金额产生重大影响。截至2024年9月30日的三个和九个月的营运业绩未必能准确反映2024年12月31日年度末的预期结果。

 

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2024.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables-Sales of gold sold directly to customers are recorded as revenues and receivables upon completion of the performance obligations and transfer of control of the product to the customer. For concentrate sales, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price can be reasonably estimated, and revenue is recognized generally at the time of shipment at estimated forward prices for the anticipated month of settlement. Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the customer and the final settlement with the customer, prices at which sales of concentrates will be settled are estimated. Previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the customer. For sales of doré and metals from doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer by the refiner.

 

Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling, and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products.

 

Other Revenue Recognition-Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when the performance obligation under a contract and transfer of the timber have both been completed. Sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion, and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.

 

Mine Exploration and Development Costs

 

The Company expenses exploration costs as such in the period they occur. The mine development stage begins once the Company identifies ore reserves which is based on a determination whether an ore body can be economically developed. Expenditures incurred during the development stage are capitalized as deferred development costs and include such costs for drift, ramps, raises, and related infrastructure. Costs to improve, alter, or rehabilitate primary development assets which appreciably extend the life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency or safety of such assets are also capitalized. The development stage ends when the production stage of ore reserves begins. Amortization of deferred development costs is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. At December 31, 2023, the Company had equity securities measured at fair value using level 1 quoted prices and no liabilities required measurement at fair value. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis.

1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures (“JV”) and Equity Method Investments

 

Investment in JVs-For JVs where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the JV is consolidated with the presentation of non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee.

 

For JVs in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. For those JVs in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in JVs and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. The Company periodically assesses its investments in JVs for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations.

 

Equity Method Investments-Investments in companies and joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and representation on governing bodies. Under the equity method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee are included in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate equity method investments whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period. At September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company's 37% common stock holding of Buckskin Gold and Silver, Inc. (“Buckskin”) is accounted for using the equity method (Note 11).

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s percentage ownership and method of accounting for each JV and equity method investment is as follows:

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2024 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported.

 

Investments in Equity Securities

 

Investments in equity securities are generally measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for equity securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. If an equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value, we may elect to measure the security at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. At the end of each reporting period, we reassess whether an equity investment security without a readily determinable fair value qualifies to be measured at cost less impairment, consider whether impairment indicators exist to evaluate if an equity investment security is impaired and, if so, record an impairment loss. At the end of each reporting period, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in current earnings.

 

Investments in Debt Securities

 

The Company holds short term investments in United States Treasury notes and are classified as held to maturity based on management’s intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Such debt securities are stated at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts and are amortized using the interest method over the stated terms of the securities. Amortization of the premium or discount is included in interest income on the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Government Grant Income

 

The Company occasionally receives grant income from various government agencies. Government grant income is recognized in earnings on a systematic basis in a manner that mirrors the manner in which the Company recognizes the underlying costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. A grant receivable is recognized for expenses or losses already incurred but for which grant funding has not yet been received. Grant funding received in excess of expenses or losses incurred is recognized as deferred revenue.

1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which clarifies the business combination accounting for joint venture formations. The amendments in the ASU seek to reduce diversity in practice that has resulted from a lack of authoritative guidance regarding the accounting for the formation of joint ventures in separate financial statements. The amendments also seek to clarify the initial measurement of joint venture net assets, including businesses contributed to a joint venture. The guidance is applicable to all entities involved in the formation of a joint venture. The amendments are effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and don’t expect any changes to amounts currently reported.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied retrospectively. We continue to evaluate the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and don’t expect any changes to our current reportable segments.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact of this update our consolidated financial statements and don’t expect any changes to amounts currently reported.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

4. Sales of Products

 

Our products consist of both gold flotation concentrates which we sell to a single broker (H&H Metals), and an unrefined gold-silver product known as doré which we sell to a precious metal refinery (Cascade Refining). At September 30, 2024, metals that had been sold but not finally settled included 5,496 ounces of which 1,539 ounces were sold at a predetermined price with the remaining 3,957 exposed to future price changes until prices are locked in based on the month of settlement. The Company has received provisional payments on the sale of these ounces with the remaining amount due reflected in gold sales receivable. Sales of products by metal type for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

5. Related Party Transactions

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no notes payable to related parties. On May 10, 2023, the Company paid the remaining amount due to Ophir Holdings, a company owned by two officers and one former officer of the Company.

 

The Company leases office space from certain related parties on a month-to-month basis. $2,000 per month is paid to NP Depot LLC, a company owned by the Company’s president, John Swallow and approximately $1,700 is paid quarterly to Mine Systems Design, Inc. which is partially owned by the Company’s vice president, Grant Brackebusch. Payments under these short-term lease arrangements are included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

6. JV Arrangements

 

NJMJV Agreement

 

The Company owns 65% of the NJMJV and has significant influence in its operations. Thus, the JV is included in the consolidated financial statements along with presentation of the non-controlling interest. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, an account receivable existed with Crescent Silver, LLC (“Crescent”), the other JV participant, for $855 and $2,080, respectively, for shared operating costs as defined in the JV agreement. This account receivable is included in the Balance Sheet as Joint venture receivable.

 

Butte Highlands JV, LLC

 

On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) for a total consideration of $435,000. Highland Mining, LLC (“Highland”) is the other 50% owner and manager of the JV. Under the agreement, Highland will fund all future project exploration and mine development costs. The agreement stipulates that Highland is manager of BHJV and will manage BHJV until such time as all mine development costs, less $2 million are distributed to Highland out of the proceeds from future mine production. The Company has determined that because it does not currently have significant influence over the JV’s activities, it accounts for its investment on a cost basis.

7. Earnings per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net amount excluding net income (loss) attributable to a non-controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities. Such common stock equivalents are included or excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for each period as follows:

9. Mineral Properties (continued)

 

In February 2024 the Company purchased the surface rights and subsequently cancelled the NSR from the previous agreement with the seller for a 169-acre parcel known as Butte Gulch, adjacent to the Golden Chest. The Company had already owned the mineral rights to this property. The purchase price was $1,001,000 of which $351,000 was paid in cash and the remaining $650,000 is payable to the seller (monthly interest only payments at 5% interest, for three years with a balloon payment of $650,000 at the end of the term).

 

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, interest expense was capitalized in association with the ramp access project at the Golden Chest Mine as follows.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Plan of Operation

 

Idaho Strategic is a gold producer and critical minerals/rare earth element (“REE”) exploration company focused on a diversified asset base and cash flows from operations. Its portfolio of mineral properties are located in the historic producing silver and gold districts of the Coeur d’Alene Mining region of north Idaho and the Elk City region of north-central Idaho, as well as the historic REE-Thorium Belt located near the city of Salmon in central Idaho.

 

The Company’s plan of operation is to generate positive cash flow, increase its gold production and asset base over time while being mindful of corporate overhead. The Company’s management is focused on utilizing its in-house technical and operating skills to build a portfolio of producing mines and milling operations with a focus on gold production and exploration for REEs.

 

The Company’s gold properties include: the Golden Chest Mine (currently in production), and the New Jersey Mill (majority ownership interest), as well as the Eastern Star exploration property and other less advanced properties. The Company’s primary focus as it relates to its gold properties is to continue to grow production at the Golden Chest Mine and look to reinvest the cash flow into both the Golden Chest, the New Jersey Mill, and furthering its exploration efforts near the Golden Chest, as well as at its REE properties.

 

In addition to its gold properties, Idaho Strategic has three REE exploration properties in Idaho known as Lemhi Pass, Diamond Creek, and Mineral Hill. Following observation of industry dynamics and in early response to events impacting long-term domestic critical mineral supply and demand trends, the Company’s strategic expansion into REE’s also aids in diversifying its holdings. The Company believes the anticipated demand for these elements in the electrification of motorized vehicles, defense spending, and a renewed focus on the United States’ domestic critical minerals supply chain security may benefit domestic holders of such assets. The Company also believes it has a first-mover advantage with its addition of recognized REE land holdings in Idaho. To date, Idaho Strategic has conducted numerous exploration programs on its REE properties which include drilling, trenching, sampling, and mapping of certain areas within the Company’s 19,090-acre landholdings.

 

Idaho Strategic has been able to demonstrate and utilize its track record of operations and experience in mining, milling, and exploring at the Golden Chest to develop relationships with different state government agencies, universities, national labs, and other government and non-government entities to advance its REE exploration activities on multiple fronts. Idaho Strategic plans to continue to look for additional partnerships to find mutually beneficial solutions to advance the U.S.' domestic REE supply chain.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We have, besides our estimates of the amount of depreciation on our assets, two critical accounting estimates. The ounces of gold contained in our process and concentrate inventory is based on assays taken at the time the ore is processed and the ounces of gold contained in shipped concentrate which is based upon assays taken prior to shipment however subject to final assays at the refinery, these shipments are also subject to the fluctuation in gold prices between our shipment date and estimated and actual final settlement date. Also, the reclamation bond obligation on our balance sheet is based on an estimate of the future cost to recover and remediate our properties as required by our permits upon cessation of our operations and may differ when we cease operations.

 

Our concentrate sales sometimes involve variable consideration, as they can be subject to changes in metals prices between the time of shipment and their final settlement. However, we can reasonably estimate the transaction price for the concentrate sales at the time of shipment using forward prices for the estimated month of settlement, and previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement for financial reporting purposes. The embedded derivative contained in our concentrate sales is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period prior to final settlement. It is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue for the concentrate receivable will occur upon final settlement of the lots. As such, we use the expected value method to price the concentrate until the final settlement date occurs, at which time the final transaction price is known. At September 30, 2024, metals that had been sold but not finally settled included 5,496 ounces of which 1,539 ounces were sold at a predetermined price with the remaining 3,957 exposed to future price changes until prices are locked in based on the month of settlement. The Company has received provisional payments on the sale of these ounces with the remaining amount due reflected in gold sales receivable.

The asset retirement obligation and asset on our balance sheet is based on an estimate of the future cost to recover and remediate our properties as required by our permits upon cessation of our operations and may differ when we cease operations. At September 30, 2024 we reviewed our December 31, 2023 estimate that the cost of the machine and man hours probable to be needed to put our properties in the condition required by our permits once we cease operations. The September 30, 2024 estimated costs would be $104,000 for the Golden Chest Mine property and $224,000 for the New Jersey Mine and Mill. For purposes of the estimate, we evaluated the expected life in years and costs that, initially, are comparable to rates that we would incur at the present. An expected present value technique is used to estimate the fair value of the liability. This includes inflating the estimated costs in today’s dollars using a reasonable inflation rate up to the date of expected retirement and discounting the inflated costs using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is amortized over the life of the related asset. We are adding to the liability each year, and amortizing the asset over the estimated life, which decreases our net income in total each year. Changes resulting from revisions to the timing or amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as either an increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability for an asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Upward revisions of the amount of undiscounted estimated cash flows are discounted using the current credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Downward revisions in the amount of undiscounted estimated cash flows are discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate that existed when the original liability was recognized. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the asset retirement obligations. Separately, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and able to be reasonably estimated.

A total of 3,820 cubic meters of cemented rockfill (“CRF”) were placed during the quarter which is a new quarterly record. The Main Access Ramp (“MAR”) and associated attack ramps were advanced by approximately 154 meters during the quarter.

 

·

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a total of 10,470 dry metric tonnes (“dmt”) were processed at the Company’s New Jersey mill with a flotation feed head grade of 9.32 gpt gold and gold recovery of 93.1%.

 

·

An exploration program consisting of both underground and surface core drilling was continued during the third quarter. Underground drilling was focused on exploring the Klondike area and targeting the newly found Red Star zone and northerly projections of the H-vein. Surface drilling was completed in Butte Gulch and this rig was moved to the northern area of the Golden Chest. A third drill rig was moved to Wesp Gulch to drill down-dip on the Idaho fault and associated veining during the quarter.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our financial performance during the quarter is summarized below:

 

 

·

Revenue increased 86.4% from $3,301,221 to $6,153,287 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, Year to date revenue increased 84% from $9,879,332 to $18,177,607 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase in revenue is largely due to the increased gold production compared to previous periods as well as a higher average gold price recognized on ounces produced. Gold production is expected to remain at approximately this level for the remainder of the year.

 

·

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 33.5% in the third quarter of 2023 to 48.7% in the third quarter of 2024. For the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 49% from 28%.

 

·

Exploration expense increased in both the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023, due to an increase in surface and underground drilling activity at the Company’s Golden Chest Mine. Drilling is expected to continue throughout the fourth quarter which may result in an increased exploration expense when compared to prior periods.

 

·

Operating income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 was $1,439,534 which is an increase of $1,026,073 from operating income of $413,461 in the third quarter of 2023. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024, operating income of $5,677,103 increased by $4,960,632 over the same period in 2023.

 

·

Other income increased $559,452 from an expense of $9,478 in the third quarter of 2023, to income of $549,974 in the same period in 2024. Other income increased $575,621 from $27,520 in the nine months ending September 30, 2023, to $603,141 in the same period in 2024.The increase was from increased interest income and gains on treasuries from the company’s short term investment account due to having a higher cash balance as well as government grant income of $418,000 for an electrical upgrade at the Golden Chest Mine in 2024.

 

·

Net income increased $1,585,525 from net income of $403,983 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 to net income of $1,989,508 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2024. Net income increased $5,536,253 from net income of $743,991 in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023, to net income of $6,280,244 in the same period in 2024.

 

·

The consolidated net income for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 included non-cash charges as follows: depreciation and amortization of $1,443,232 ($1,034,521 in 2023), loss on disposal of equipment of $1,431 (gain of $224 in 2023), accretion of asset retirement obligation of $13,954 ($11,874 in 2023), loss on investment in equity securities of $453 ($4,423 in 2023), equity income on investment in Buckskin of $1,579 ($2,965 in 2023), and write down of reclamation bond of $300 (none in 2023).

 

·

Cash cost per ounce for the three-month period ending September 30, 2024 remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2023. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024, cash cost per ounce decreased due to a 53.7% increase in ounces produced compared to the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023.

 

·

All in sustaining cost per ounce increased during the three-month period ending September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to an increase in exploration costs from underground and surface drilling at the Golden Chest Mine. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024, all in sustaining costs decreased slightly as the increased exploration cost was largely made up for by the increased production when compared to the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023. Adjusted all in sustaining costs without exploration expenses were $1,109.79 and $1,128.78 per ounce for the three and nine-month periods ending September, 30 2024, respectively.

Cash Costs and All In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) Reconciliation to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)

 

Reconciliation of cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion, and amortization (GAAP) to cash cost per ounce and AISC per ounce (non-GAAP).

 

The table below presents reconciliations between the most comparable GAAP measure of cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion, and amortization to the non-GAAP measures of cash cost per ounce and all in sustaining costs per ounce for the Company’s gold production in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Cash cost per ounce is an important operating measure that we utilize to measure operating performance. AISC per ounce is an important measure that we utilize to assess net cash flow after costs for pre-development, exploration, reclamation, and sustaining capital. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop, and sustain gold production. At September 30, 2024, the Company changed the way sustaining capital is calculated to better reflect actual costs required to sustain mining operations. Prior periods have been restated in the table below to reflect this change.

The Company is currently producing profitably from underground at the Golden Chest Mine. In the past, the Company has been successful in raising required capital from sale of common stock, forward gold contracts, and debt. As a result of its profitable production, equity sales and potential debt borrowings or restructurings, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At September 30, 2024, our Vice President who also serves as our Chief Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which disclosure controls and procedures are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods specified by the Securities & Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Based upon that evaluation, it was concluded that our disclosure controls were effective as of September 30, 2024, to ensure timely reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, the Company’s corporate governance and disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that required reports were timely and accurately reported in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
