INDIGENOUS ROOTS CORP. (FORMERLY AMERICAN PARAMOUNT GOLD CORP.)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FEBRUARY 28, 2018

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Indigenous Roots Corp., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006. On January 8, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to change its name from American Paramount Gold Corp. The Company was formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties.

 

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended February 28, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 2018. For further information, these unaudited interim financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2017, included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K.

 

Going concern

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds from its directors and officers, issuing promissory notes and/or a private placement of common stock.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars.

 

Accounting estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. 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 from 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.

 

Fair Value Measurements

The book value of cash, accounts payable, due to related parties and convertible loan payable approximate their fair values due to the short term maturity of those instruments. . The fair value hierarchy under GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

Level 1- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 -observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

 

Level 3 -assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period ended February 28, 2018.

3. CONVERTIBLE LOAN - RELATED PARTY

 

On April 22, 2010, and as amended December 17, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., a significant shareholder, for a principal amount of up to $5,000,000. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum calculated on the principal balance. The Company may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding at any time for the sum plus an additional 10% of such amount. The loan (including accrued interest) is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price calculated as the mean volume weighted average price for the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. At any time after the advancement date, if the Company has not paid the loan and accrued interest in full, the Lender may, by providing written notice to the Company, exercise its rights of conversion in respect of either a portion of the total outstanding amount of the loan as of that date into shares of the Company. The amounts advanced plus accrued interest are due one year following the date advanced.

 

As at February 28, 2018, the Company owed $1,659,165 (August 31, 2017 - $1,610,816) under this loan which includes accrued interest as at February 28, 2018 of $678,752 (August 31, 2017 - $630,403).

 

The loan is in default and due on demand.

 

4. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company issued 300,000 common shares for proceeds of $30,000.

 

During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company issued 200,000 common shares with a fair value of $210,000 to an officer and director for services.

 

During the six months ended February 28, 2018 the Company issued 125,000 common shares for proceeds received by the Company in 2012.

 

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended February 28, 2018 two related parties forgave $125,400 of debt owed by the Company.

 

As at February 28, 2018, the Company owed $52,484 (2017 - $159,772) to the CEO and Director of the Company for cash proceeds provided to the Company.

 

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On November 27, 2017, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Indigenous Roots Corp., a Company in the cannabis industry, where the Company and its stakeholders agreed to enter into negotiations towards an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares and interest of Indigenous Roots Corp. On January 8, 2018, in anticipation of the entering into of a definitive agreement and intended change of business, a majority of the stockholders approved a change of name to Indigenous Roots Corp. As at the date of the financial statements, there was no definitive agreement entered into by the two parties.

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

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our unaudited interim financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our company’s audited financial statements and 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2017 and unaudited interim financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all references to “common stock” refer to common shares in the capital of our company and the terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean Indigenous Roots Corp.

 

GENERAL OVERVIEW

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006 under the name Zebra Resources, Inc. At inception, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

 

On February 26, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. acquired a controlling interest in our company by purchasing 20,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private transaction.

 

On March 17, 2010, we effected a 1 old for 2 new forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding increased from 32,000,000 shares of common stock to 64,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.

 

Also effective March 17, 2010, we changed our name from Zebra Resources, Inc. to American Paramount Gold Corp., by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary American Paramount Gold Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name.

 

The name change and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on April 12, 2010 under the stock symbol “APGA”..

On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $5,000,000. The loan (and accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest at 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. At November 30, 2014, Monaco Capital Inc. has advanced $980,413. Interest relating to the loan totalling $678,752 as at February 28, 2017 was recorded in accrued liabilities.

 

On July 30, 2010, our directors approved the adoption of the 2010 stock option plan which permits our company to issue up to 6,500,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of our company upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2012 plan.

 

On November 28, 2011, the Nevada Secretary of State accepted for filing a Certificate of Change, wherein the corporation amended our Articles of Incorporation to implement a forty (40) for one (1) reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common shares such that our company’s authorized capital will be decreased from 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 3,750,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, its issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall decrease from 64,500,000 shares of common stock to 1,612,500 shares of common stock. No fractional shares shall be issued and fractional shares shall be rounded up. The reverse split was effective at the opening of trading on January 26, 2012.

 

On November 27, 2017, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Indigenous Roots, wherein Indigenous Roots and its stakeholders agreed to enter into negotiations towards an agreement with our company to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares and interest of Indigenous Roots, which has now been Incorporated in Alberta Canada with its Sister Company Indigenous Bloom Corp.

 

The original due diligence period provided for under the letter of intent has been extended in order for our company and Indigenous Roots to complete a definitive agreement.

 

In anticipation of entering into a definitive agreement, effective January 8, 2018, we changed our name from American Paramount Gold Corp. to Indigenous Roots Corp.

CASH REQUIREMENTS

 

We intend to search for qualifying exploration properties over the next twelve months. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve month period to be as follows:

 

ESTIMATED EXPENSES FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTH PERIOD

 

General, administrative, and corporate expenses

 

$ 50,000

 

Operating expenses

 

$ 50,000

 

Identification of properties of merit

 

$ 50,000

 

TOTAL

 

$ 150,000

 

 

At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available. Of the $150,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $206 in cash as of February 28, 2018. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. Other than as set out below, we currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $30,000 for the six months ended February 28, 2018.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

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

 

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 
13
 
 

 

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Our company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at February 28, 2018, our company had no potentially dilutive securities.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-10. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-10.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

Our company has incurred a net loss $305,376 for the six months ended February 28, 2018 and at February 28, 2018 had a deficit accumulated of $6,165,174. Our company has commenced limited operations, raising substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance our company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.

 

The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of our company’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors, shareholders or investors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. Other than a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., we do not have any further arrangements in place for any future debt or equity financing.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of February 28, 2018.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2018 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

 

Such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.

 

 
16
 
 

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

 

THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT EARNED ANY OPERATING REVENUES SINCE OUR INCORPORATION RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

 

We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on the mineral property and we build and operate a mine. We had cash in the amount of $206 as of February 28, 2018. At February 28, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $1,726,675. We incurred a net loss of $305,376 for the six months ended February 28, 2018. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $12,500, including management services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months.

 

 
17
 
 

 

We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of the mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.

 

Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence. We continue to experience net operating losses.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK

 

TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE VOLATILE AND SPORADIC, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like NYSE Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

 

OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC’S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND FINRA’S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

OTHER RISKS

 

TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
