accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term
instruments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the
balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not
experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed
to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue
from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to
perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the
contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the
contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction
price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue
when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods,
revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 —
Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following
criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the
performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has
occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and
determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

Income per Share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing loss available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the
conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such
conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted
earnings per share by application of the "if converted" method. In
the periods in which a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of
shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic
and diluted losses per share are the same. The Company did not have any
dilutive securities for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income
taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits,
prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless
otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to
significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation
of such assets and liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments
approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral
lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs
are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has
taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest,
these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be
subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by
undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount.
Optioned Properties
Properties under the Company’s ownership which have been
optioned to a third party are deemed the Company’s property until all
obligations under an option agreement are met, at which point the ownership of
the property transfers to the third party. All non-refundable payments received
prior to all obligations under an option agreement being met are considered
liabilities until such time all obligations have been met, at which time
ownership of the property transfers to the third party and the Company includes
option payments into its statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends
the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the
classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current
guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial
liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure
requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance
related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax
assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.

Note 2 – Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the
Company has a working capital of $1,772,176 as at September 30, 2021
(December 31, 2020: $191,235) and has used $170,727 (2020: $124,470) of
cash in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s
ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain
additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity
for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as 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 (an exit
price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value
hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value
measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and
liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the
disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be
measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and
liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value
hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
|
- |
Level
1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the
measurement date. |
|
- |
Level
2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves,
etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated
inputs). |
|
- |
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial
instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of
September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar
amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common
shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”
and “our company” mean Lithium Corporation and our now defunct wholly-owned
subsidiary Lithium Royalty Corp., a Nevada company, unless otherwise indicated.
General Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
January 30, 2007 under the name “Utalk Communications Inc.”. At inception, we
were a development stage corporation engaged in the business of developing and
marketing a call-back service using a call-back platform. Because we were not
successful in implementing our business plan, we considered various
alternatives to ensure the viability and solvency of our company.
On August 31, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent with
Nevada Lithium Corporation regarding a business combination which could be
effected in one of several different ways, including an asset acquisition,
merger of our company and Nevada Lithium, or a share exchange whereby we would
purchase the shares of Nevada Lithium from its shareholders in exchange for
restricted shares of our common stock.
Effective September 30, 2009, we effected a 1 old for 60 new
forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result,
our authorized capital increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a
par value of $0.001 to 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of
$0.001 and our then issued and outstanding shares increased from 4,470,000
shares of common stock to 268,200,000 shares of common stock.
Also effective September 30, 2009, we changed our name from
“Utalk Communications, Inc.” to “Lithium Corporation”, by way of a merger with
our wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Corporation, 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 October
1, 2009 under the stock symbol “LTUM”. Our CUSIP number is 536804107.
|
14 |
|
On October 9, 2009, we entered into a share exchange agreement
with Nevada Lithium and the shareholders of Nevada Lithium. The closing of the
transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition
of all of the issued and outstanding common stock in the capital of Nevada
Lithium occurred on October 19, 2009. In accordance with the closing of the
share exchange agreement, we issued 12,350,000 shares of our common stock to
the former shareholders of Nevada Lithium in exchange for the acquisition, by
our company, of all of the 12,350,000 issued and outstanding shares of Nevada
Lithium. Also, pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, a
director of our company cancelled 220,000,000 restricted shares of our common
stock. Nevada Lithium’s corporate status was allowed to lapse and the company’s
status with the Nevada Secretary of State has been revoked.
In April of 2016 our company established a wholly owned
subsidiary called Lithium Royalty Corp. The subsidiary was a Nevada Corporation
in which we had planned to build a portfolio of lithium mineral property
royalties. Also in April of 2016 Lithium Royalty Corp. staked a lithium
property consisting of a block of mineral claims that became known as the North
Big Smoky Property. On May 13th, 2016 Lithium Royalty Corp. sold the
North Big Smoky property to 1069934 Nevada Ltd., retaining a Net Smelter
Royalty. On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement
with Lithium Royalty Corp. for the assignment of the residual interest in the
North Big Smoky Property and the subsidiary was subsequently voluntarily
dissolved with the Nevada Secretary of State with an effective date of April
28, 2017.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the
identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a
primary focus on lithium mineralization on properties located in Nevada, and
Graphite and Rare Earth Element properties in British Columbia.
Our current operational focus is to judiciously conduct
exploration activities on all our mineral properties and generate additional
prospects for our exploration portfolio.
On March 2, 2017 we issued a news release announcing that we had
signed a letter of intent with Bormal Resources Inc. with respect to three
Tantalum-Niobium properties (Michael, Yeehaw, and Three Valley Gap) located in
British Columbia, Canada.
The Michael property in the Trail Creek Mining Division was
originally staked to cover one of the most compelling tantalum (Ta) in stream
sediment anomalies as seen in the government RGS database in British Columbia.
Bormal conducted a stream sediment sampling program in 2014, and determined
that the tantalum-niobium in stream sediment anomaly here is bona fide, and in
the order of 6 kilometers in length. In November of 2016 Lithium Corporation
conducted a short soil geochemistry orientation program on the property as part
of its due diligence, and determined that there are elevated levels of
Niobium-Tantalum in soils here.
Also in the general area of the Michael property the Yeehaw
property had been staked over a similar but lower amplitude Tantalum/rare earth
elements in stream sediment anomaly. Both properties are situated in the Eocene
Coryell Batholith, and it is thought that these anomalies may arise from either
Carbonatite or Pegmatite type deposits. The Company conducted a helicopter
borne bio-geochemical survey on these two properties in June 2017, which did
return anomalous results. This was followed up by a geological and geochemical
examination of the Yeehaw property in early July 2017, and additional work of a
similar nature subsequently in July 2017, and in early October 2017. The
examination uncovered a zone roughly 30 meters wide which includes an interval
that is mineralized with approximately 0.75% Total Rare Earth Elements
(TREE’s). Preliminary geological, and geochemical work were performed on the
Michael property in October of 2016, followed by a brief airborne
biogeochemical survey in June of 2017, and additional ground geological and
geochemical assessment work in early October, 2017, follow-up work in May of
2018, and more work in 2019, and 2020.
The third property – Three Valley Gap, is in the Revelstoke
Mining Division and is situated in a locale where several Nb-Ta enriched
carbonatites have been noted to occur. A brief field program by Bormal in 2015
located one of these carbonatites, and concurrent soil sampling determined that
the soils here are enriched with Nb-Ta over the known carbonatite, and
indicated that there are other geochemical anomalies locally that may indicate
that more carbonatites exist here and are shallowly buried.

On February 23, 2018 we issued a news release announcing that we
had dropped any interest in the Michael and Three Valley Gap properties, and
had renegotiated the final share payment as required in the agreement from
750,000 to 400,000 shares. The final consideration shares have been issued and
the Yeehaw property has been transferred by Bormal. During 2017 the Company
conducted initial stream, rock and magnetometer surveys on the property, and
discovered a 30 meter wide structure (Horseshoe Bend showing) that exhibits
anomalous Titanium/REE mineralization. The company had staked an additional
5227 acre (2115.51 hectares) mineral claim and conducted a brief exploration
program in Spring 2018 of geological mapping and rock and soil sampling on the
property. This program discovered a slightly stronger zone of similar
mineralization approximately 660 feet (200 meters) to the northwest of the
Horseshoe Bend, and similar float mineralization another 0.75 miles (1.2 kms)
further to the northwest. Work in 2019, and 2020 discovered the extension to
the west of the mineralized structure, and also similar mineralized float was
found to the east that possibly indicates it strikes under cover in that
direction also.
On February 16, 2017 we issued a news release announcing that we
had signed a letter of intent with Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. with respect to
our Salt Wells lithium in brine prospect located in Churchill County Nevada.
Under the terms of the agreement NEV (TSX-V - NEV, OTC - NVSGF)
could have earned a 100% interest in the Property subject to a 2% Net Smelter
Royalty (NSR) by making staged payments of cash and shares over the next two
years. The terms are;
|
· |
$10,000
non-refundable deposit on signing the LOI |
|
· |
$15,000
& issue 400,000 common shares of NEV on the later of TSX-V approval or
the signing of a formal definitive agreement |
|
· |
$50,000
& 500,000 shares - 1st anniversary |
|
· |
$75,000
& 600,000 shares - 2nd anniversary |
NEV was to pay all claim and other property related fees during
the earn-in phase of the agreement, and would have also retained the right to
purchase one half (1%) of the NSR at any time up until the third anniversary of
the signing of the formal agreement for $1,000,000. Issues arose with respect
to the claim block and Nevada Sunrise’s understanding of the placement of the
block, and ultimately it was determined that the Company would be best served
by cancelling the agreement and refunding the money (minus bank fees) that
Nevada Sunrise had sent. An informal letter agreement releasing the parties of
all obligations save for the Area of Mutual Interest clause, was executed by
both parties on May 5, 2017.
On April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with Altura
Mining Limited an Australian Lithium explorer and developer, whereby the Altura
can earn a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley property by paying the Company
$675,000, issuing the equivalent of $500,000 worth of Altura stock, and
expending $2,000,000 of exploration work in the next four years. To date Altura
has paid the initial $50,000 due at the signing of the LOI, and the parties had
until July 31, 2021 to enter into a formal agreement, however Lithium
Corporation agreed to extend the due diligence period until August 31, 2021.
After doing due diligence Altura has indicated that they are moving forward
with the project, and the parties have agreed that August 17th 2021
will be the effective date of the formal agreement, however a formal agreement
has not been fully ratified as of yet.
On September 16th 2021 Lithium Corporation
signed an agreement with Surge Battery Metals whereby Surge may earn an 80%
interest in the Company’s San Emidio lithium-in-brine prospect in Washoe County
Nevada. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may exercise the
Property option as follows:
Make cash payments and share issuances to the Optionor in the
following manner:
|
· |
US$50,000
on signing the Agreement and issue 200,000 common shares on the Closing Date;
and |
|
· |
US$70,000
and US$30,000 in common shares on or before the first anniversary of the
Effective Date; and |
|
· |
US$70,000
and US$30,000 in common shares on or before the second anniversary of the
Effective Date; and |
|
· |
US$70,000
and US$50,000 in common shares on or before third anniversary of the
Effective Date; and |
|
· |
US$70,000
and US$70,000 in common shares on or before the fourth anniversary of the
Effective Date; and |
|
· |
US$70,000
and US$90,000 in common shares on or before the fifth anniversary of the
Effective Date. |
|
16 |
|
Incur a minimum in Expenditures for exploration and development
work on the Property of US$1,000,000 as follows:
|
· |
US$100,000
of Expenditures to be incurred, or caused to be incurred, by the Optionee on
the Property on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date; and |
|
· |
a
cumulative total of US$250,000 of Expenditures to be incurred, or caused to
be incurred, by the Optionee on the Property on or before the second
anniversary of the Effective Date; and |
|
· |
a
cumulative total of US$450,000 of Expenditures to be incurred, or caused to
be incurred, by the Optionee on the Property on or before the third anniversary
of the Effective Date; and |
|
· |
a
cumulative total of US$700,000 of Expenditures to be incurred, or caused to
be incurred, by the Optionee on the Property on or before the fourth
anniversary of the Effective Date; and |
|
· |
a
cumulative total of US$1,000,000 of Expenditures to be incurred, or caused to
be incurred, by the Optionee on the Property on or before the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date. |
Once all conditions are met the Optionee will be deemed to have
earned an undivided 80% interest in the property, and a Joint Venture will
before. Should either party not contribute once the JV commences their interest
will be diluted until such point that should they eventually own less than 10%
their interest will revert to a 2.5% Net Smelter Revenue.
Our company intends to continue identifying additional lithium
properties in Nevada and to conduct exploration on our British Columbia
properties, while resuming exploration at San Emidio, and tracking progress at
Fish Lake Valley. We will continue assessing our options with respect to our
25% interest in Summa, LLC, a private Nevada company, which holds the residue
of Howard Hughes’ Summa Corp., and whose Tonopah prospect is presently optioned
to Summa Silver Corp, while generating new prospects and evaluating property
submittals for option or purchase.
Fish Lake Valley Property
Fish Lake Valley is a lithium enriched playa (also known as a
salar, or salt pan), which is located in northern Esmeralda County in west
central Nevada, and the property is roughly centered at 417050E 4195350N (NAD
27 CONUS). We currently hold eighteen, 80-acre Association Placer claims that
cover approximately 1,440 acres (582.75 hectares). Lithium-enriched
Tertiary-era Fish Lake formation rhyolitic tuffs or ash flow tuffs have
accumulated in a valley or basinal environment. Over time interstitial
formational waters in contact with these tuffs, have become enriched in
lithium, boron and potassium which could possibly be amenable to extraction by
evaporative methods. Our claim block here has expanded and contracted twice, at
times when the lithium market has contracted, and the prudent thing to do would
be to only maintain essential claims, in order to preserve capital.
The property was originally held under mining lease purchase
agreement dated June 1, 2009, between Nevada Lithium Corporation, and Nevada
Alaska Mining Co. Inc., Robert Craig, Barbara Craig, and Elizabeth Dickman.
Nevada Lithium issued to the vendors $350,000 worth of common stock of our
company in eight regular disbursements. All disbursements were made of stock
worth a total of $350,000, and claim ownership was transferred to our company.
The geological setting at Fish Lake Valley is highly analogous
to the salars of Chile, Bolivia, and Peru, and more importantly Clayton Valley,
where Albemarle has its Silver Peak lithium-brine operation. Access is
excellent in Fish Lake Valley with all-weather gravel roads leading to the
property from state highways 264, and 265, and maintained gravel roads ring the
playa. Power is available approximately 10 miles from the property, and the
village of Dyer is approximately 12 miles to the south, while the town of
Tonopah, Nevada is approximately 50 miles to the east.
Our company completed a number of geochemical and geophysical
studies on the property, and conducted a short drill program on the periphery
of the playa in the fall of 2010. Near-surface brine sampling during the spring
of 2011 outlined a boron/lithium/potassium anomaly on the northern portions of
the northern playa, that is roughly 1.3 x 2 miles long, which has a smaller
higher grade core where lithium mineralization ranges from 100 to 150 mg/L
(average 122.5 mg/L), with boron ranging from 1,500 to 2,670 mg/L (average
2,219 mg/L), and potassium from 5,400 to 8,400 mg/L (average 7,030 mg/L). Wet
conditions on the playa precluded drilling there in 2011, and for a good
portion of 2012, however a window of opportunity presented itself in late fall
2012. In November/December 2012 we conducted a short direct push drill program
on the northern end of the playa, wherein a total of 1,240.58 feet (378.09
meters) was drilled in 20 holes at 17 discrete sites, and an area of 3,356 feet
(1,023 meters) by 2,776 feet (846 meters) was systematically explored by grid
probing. The deepest hole was 81 feet (24.69 meters), and the shallowest hole
that produced brine was 34 feet (10.36 meters). The average depth of the holes
drilled during the program was 62 feet (18.90 meters). The program successfully
demonstrated that lithium-boron-potassium-enriched brines exist to at least 62
feet (18.9 meters) depth in sandy or silty aquifers that vary from
approximately three to ten feet (one to three meters) in thickness. Average
lithium, boron and potassium contents of all samples are 47.05 mg/L, 992.7
mg/L, and 0.535% respectively, with lithium values ranging from 7.6 mg/L to
151.3 mg/L, boron ranging from 146 to 2,160.7 mg/L, and potassium ranging from
0.1 to 1.3%. The anomaly outlined by the program is 1,476 by 2,461 feet (450
meters by 750 meters), and is not fully delimited, as the area available for
probing was restricted due to soft ground conditions to the east and to the
south. A 50 mg/L lithium cutoff is used to define this anomaly and within this
zone average lithium, boron and potassium contents are 90.97 mg/L, 1,532.92
mg/L, and 0.88% respectively. On September 3, 2013, we announced that drilling
had commenced at Fish Lake Valley. Due to storms and wet conditions in the area
which our company hoped to concentrate on, the playa was not passable, and so
the program concentrated on larger step-out drilling well off the playa. This
11 hole, 1,025 foot program did prove that mineralization does not extend much,
if at all, past the margins of the playa, as none of the fluids encountered in
this program were particularly briny, and returned values of less than 5 mg/L
lithium.

Our company is very pleased with the results here, and believes
that the playa at Fish Lake Valley may be conducive to the formation of a
“silver peak” style lithium brine deposit. Our company reviewed the results in
regards to the overall geological interpretation of the lithium, boron and
potassium bearing strata. The results confirm the presence of targeted
mineralization and further evaluation programs will focus on determining the
extent and depth of mineralization. Our company is currently assessing options
on how best to further explore here.
We signed an Exploration Earn-In Agreement in February 2016 with
1032701 B.C. Ltd., a private British Columbia company with respect to our Fish
Lake Valley lithium brine property.
1032701 B.C. Ltd., had the option to acquire an initial 80%
undivided interest in the Fish Lake Valley property through the payment of an
aggregate of US$300,000 in cash, completing a Going Public Transaction on or
before May 6, 2016, and subject to the completion of the Going Public
Transaction, arranging for the issuance of a total of 400,000 common shares in
the capital of the Resulting Issuer as follows: (i) within five Business Days
following the effective date,
|
· |
Pay
$100,000 to our company and issue 200,000 common shares of the TSX-V listed
public company. |
|
· |
On
or before the first anniversary of the signing of the Definitive Agreement
pay $100,000 to our company and issue 100,000 common shares of the
Optionee/TSX-V listed public company. |
|
· |
On
or before the second anniversary of the signing of the definitive agreement
pay $100,000 to our company and issue 100,000 common shares of the
Optionee/TSX-V listed public company. |
The Optionee had to make qualified exploration or development
expenditures on the property of $200,000 before the first anniversary, an additional
$300,000 before the second anniversary, an additional $600,000 prior to the
third anniversary, and make all payments and perform all other acts to maintain
the Property in good standing before fully earning their 80% interest.
Additionally, terms were to be negotiated for the Optionee to purchase our 20%
interest in the property for $1,000,000, at which point our interest would
revert to a 2 1/2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR). The Optionee may then elect at
any time to purchase one half of our NSR for $1,000,000.
On April 7, 2016, 1032701 B.C. Ltd. was acquired by Menika
Mining Ltd., which subsequently changed its name to American Lithium
Corp.(TSXV: LI) In connection with the acquisition of 1032701 and in accordance
with the Exploration Earn-In Agreement, 200,000 common shares were issued to
our company. In addition, we received payment of $130,000. In March of 2017
American Lithium Corp. issued 100,000 common shares and paid the company
$100,000 to satisfy their option commitment. In March of 2018 issued 10,000
common shares (as they had recently rolled their stock back on a 1 for 10
basis), and paid the company $100,000. In addition it was agreed that Lithium
Corporation would extend the deadline for the year two exploration expenditure
until September 30th 2018 for consideration of a further 80,000
shares.
American Lithium Corporation conducted confirmation shallow
brine sampling on the property, and drilled two exploratory wells off the playa
area in 2016. In Summer 2018 they reportedly completed a short seismic survey
adjacent to the Company’s claims here, and attempted to drill a hole on the
Company’s claims but were unsuccessful due to wet ground conditions. On April
30th 2019 American Lithium issued formal relinquishment of
Purchasers right to earn the interest under the agreement.

On April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with Altura
Mining Limited an Australian Lithium explorer and developer, whereby Altura can
earn a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley property by paying the Company
$675,000, issuing the equivalent of $500,000 worth of Altura stock, and
expending $2,000,000 of exploration work in the next four years. To date Altura
has paid the initial $50,000 due at the signing of the LOI, and the parties had
until July 31, 2021 to enter into a formal agreement, however Lithium
Corporation agreed to extend the due diligence period until August 31, 2021.
After doing due diligence Altura has indicated that they are moving forward
with the project, and the parties have agreed that August 17th 2021
will be the effective date of the formal agreement, however the parties are
still coming to terms at to the contents and form of the agreement. Should the
formal agreement not be signed by October 15th, 2021 Altura has
agreed to pay 2.5% interest (payable in shares) on the share portion of the
option payment per month until the agreement is fully ratified.
San Emidio Property
The San Emidio property, located in Washoe County in
northwestern Nevada, was acquired through the staking of claims in September
2011. The four, 80-acre, Association Placer claims currently held here cover an
area of approximately 320 acres (129.50 hectares). The claim block has expanded
and contracted a couple of times, in accordance with the state of the Lithium
market. The property is approximately 65 miles north-northeast of Reno, Nevada,
and has excellent infrastructure.
We developed this prospect during 2009, and 2010 through surface
sampling, and the early reconnaissance sampling determined that anomalous
values for lithium occur in the playa sediments over a good portion of the
playa. This sampling appeared to indicate that the most prospective areas on
the playa may be on the newly staked block proximal to the southern margin of
the basin, where it is possible the structures that are responsible for the
geothermal system here may also have influenced lithium deposition in
sediments.
Our company conducted near-surface brine sampling in the spring
of 2011, and a high resolution gravity geophysical survey in summer/fall 2011.
Our company then permitted a 7 hole drilling program with the Bureau of Land
Management in late fall 2011, and a direct push drill program was commenced in
early February 2012. Drilling here delineated a narrow elongated shallow brine
reservoir which is greater than 2.5 miles length, and which is adjacent to a
basinal feature outlined by the earlier gravity survey. Two values of over 20
milligrams/liter lithium were obtained from two holes located centrally in this
brine anomaly.
Most recently we drilled this prospect in late October 2012,
further testing the area of the property in the vicinity where prior
exploration by our company discovered elevated lithium levels in subsurface
brines. During the 2012 program a total of 856 feet (260.89 meters) was drilled
at 8 discrete sites. The deepest hole was 160 feet (48.76 meters), and the
shallowest hole that produced brine was 90 feet (27.43 meters). The average
depth of the seven hole program was 107 feet (32.61 meters). The program better
defined a lithium-in-brine anomaly that was discovered in early 2012. This
anomaly is approximately 0.6 miles (370 meters) wide at its widest point by
more than 2 miles (3 kilometers) long. The peak value seen within the anomaly
is 23.7 mg/l lithium, which is 10 to 20 times background levels outside the
anomaly. Our company believes that, much like Fish Lake Valley, the playa at
San Emidio may be conducive to the formation of a “Silver Peak” style lithium
brine deposit, and the recent drilling indicates that the anomaly occurs at or
near the intersection of several faults that may have provided the structural
setting necessary for the formation of a lithium-in-brine deposit at depth.
In 2016 we signed an Exploration Earn-In Agreement with 1067323
B.C. Ltd. with respect to our San Emidio property. 1067323 B.C. Ltd., could
have acquired an initial 80% undivided interest in the San Emidio property through
the payment of an aggregate of US$100,000 in cash, completing a Going Public
Transaction and subject to the completion of the Going Public Transaction,
arranging for the issuance of a total of 300,000 common shares in the capital
of the Resulting Issuer.

follows. No appreciable work was done on the property and in 2018 after making
the cash payment and issuing 200,000 shares, American Lithium (ultimately the
Optionee) notified Lithium Corporation in early June 2018 that they were
allowing the option to lapse.

BC Sugar Flake Graphite Property
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a mining claim sale agreement
with Herb Hyder wherein Mr. Hyder agreed to sell to our company a 50.829 acre
(20.57 hectare) claim located in the Cherryville area of British Columbia. As
consideration for the purchase of the property, we issued 250,000 shares of our
company’s common stock to Mr. Hyder. In addition to the acquired claim, our
company staked or acquired another 13 claims at various times over the
subsequent months, to bring the total area held under tenure to approximately
19,816 acres (8,020 hectares). The flake graphite mineralization of interest
here is hosted predominately in graphitic quartz/biotite, and lesser graphitic
calc-silicate gneisses. The rocks in the general area of the BC Sugar prospect
are similar to the host rocks in the area of the Crystal Graphite deposit 55
miles (90 kms) to the southeast. Over the past three years the claim block here
has been strategically decreased, and the Company currently holds one tenure
encompassing 203 acres (82.23 hectares).
The BC Sugar property is within the Shushwap Metamorphic
Complex, in a geological environment favorable for the formation of flake
graphite deposits, and is in an area of excellent logistics, with a
considerable network of logging roads within the project area. Additionally the
town of Lumby is approximately 19 miles (30 kms) to the south of the property,
while the City of Vernon is only 30 miles (50 kms) to the southwest of the western
portions of the claim block.
|

|
We received final assays from the October 2013 prospecting and
geological program at the BC Sugar property in December of 2013. That work
increased the area known to be underlain by graphitic bearing gneisses, and
further evaluations were made in the area of the Sugar Lake, Weather Station,
and Taylor Creek showings. In the general vicinity of the Weather Station
showing, a further 13 samples were taken, and hand trenching was performed at
one of several outcrops in the area. In the trench a 5.2 meter interval
returned an average of 3.14% graphitic carbon, all in an oxidized relatively
friable gneissic host rock. Additionally a hydrothermal or vein type
mineralized graphitic quartz boulder was discovered in the area which graded up
to 4.19% graphitic carbon. The source of this boulder was not discovered during
this program, but it is felt to be close to its point of origin. Samples
representative of the mineralization encountered here were taken for
petrographic study, which was received in late 2013. A brief assessment work
program was performed in September 2014 to ensure all claims in the package
were in good standing prior to the anticipated sale of this asset to Pathion
Inc. Recommendations were made by the consulting geologist who wrote the
assessment report with respect to trenching, and eventually drilling the
Weather Station showing. Our company submitted a Notice of Work to the BC
Government in early May 2015 to enable our company to conduct a program of
excavator trenching, sampling and geological mapping on the Weather Station
showing. In May of 2015 we signed an agreement with KLM Geosciences LLC of Las
Vegas to conduct a short Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey on the property
in the Weather Station – Taylor Creek areas. The GPR survey as well as a GEM-2
electromagnetic (EM) survey took place in approximately mid-May 2015. The GPR
survey did not provide useful data because of the moisture saturation in the
shallow subsurface. The EM survey successfully generated an anomaly over known
mineralization as well as extended the anomaly to the west under an area of
cover consisting of glacial/fluvial till. Lithium Corporation is pleased with
the results of the EM survey and has modified our work plans to include
additional work that builds on the results of this survey.
In August of 2015 our Notice of Work for trenching was approved
by the BC Government and in October we commenced work. A trench of 265.76 feet
(81 meters) was excavated and graphitic gneiss was mapped and sampled. In all
23 samples were taken over the 69 meters of exposed mineralization that could
be safely sampled. Trench depths varied from 1.2 meters in areas of
semi-consolidated rock to 4.8 meters in areas of mainly decomposed material.
There was an approximately 12 meter section of the trench of sand, and fluvial
till in an ancient stream bed where the excavator could not reach the graphitic
material that is inferred to exist at depths greater than 5 meters. Also there
was a 4 meter section at depths from 4.8 to 5 meters where graphite
mineralization could be seen at depth, but could not be safely sampled.
The entire 69 meter interval that was sampled averaged 1.997%
graphitic carbon, and mineralization remains open in all directions. Within
that interval there was a 30 meter section that averaged 2.73% graphitic
carbon, and within that interval there was a 12 meter section that averaged
2.99% graphitic carbon. The best mineralization, and most friable material is
proximal to the aforementioned abandoned creek channel, and it appears that
proximity to this feature gave rise to the deep weathering profile encountered
here. Determining the tenor, and extent of the friable material were the two
major objectives of this program as this material, which is very similar to
that mined at Eagle Graphite’s operation is very easy/economical to be mined
and processed, and typically contains the highest percentages of graphite over
consistent widths.
The Company revised its trenching permit in 2017 and conducted a
program of 12 mechanized test pits in May 2018. This work was done in an area
ranging from 1 to 1.5 kilometers to the east of the Weather Station Zone in a
zone of numerous discrete conductors detected during the 2015 FDEM geophysical
survey. Three of these pits intercepted weathered weak to moderately
mineralized graphitic material with the best assay being 2.62% graphitic,
carbon, and six test pits bottomed in non-mineralized bedrock. The remaining
three did not reach bedrock or intercept graphitic material prior to reaching
the maximum digging capability of the excavating equipment used. The Company
has reduced its acreage holdings here to approximately 203 acres (82 hectares)
to facilitate applying 5 years assessment credit to the property, and is
effectively looking to place it on the “back burner” in favor of developing
other prospects that are of greater commercial interest at this point.
The Hughes Claims
Effective April 23, 2014, we entered into an operating agreement
with All American Resources, L.L.C and TY & Sons Investments Inc. with
respect to Summa, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company incorporated on
December 12, 2013, wherein we hold a 25% membership in a number of patented
mining claims that spring from the once vast holdings of Howard Hughes. Our
company’s initial capital contribution paid to Summa, LLC was $125,000, of
which $100,000 was in cash and the balance in services.
|
21 |
|
Our company participated in the formation of Summa, which holds
88 fee-title patented lode claims, which cover approximately 1,191.3 acres of
prospective mineral lands. Our company has recently signed a joint operating
agreement with the other participants to govern the conduct of Summa, and the
development of the lands. Our company’s president, Tom Lewis, has been named as
a managing member of Summa.
The Hughes lands are situated in six discrete prospect areas in
Nevada, the most notable of which being the Tonopah block in Nye County where
Summa holds 56 claims that cover approximately 770 acres in the heart of the
historic mining camp where over 1.8 million ounces of gold and 174 million
ounces of silver were produced predominately in the early 1900’s. The Hughes
claims include a number of the prolific past producers in Tonopah, such as the
Belmont, the Desert Queen, and the Midway mines. In addition there are also
claims in the area of the past producing Klondyke East mining district, which
is to the south of Tonopah, and at the town of Belmont (not to be confused with
the Belmont claim in Tonopah), Nevada, another notable silver producer from the
1800’s, which is roughly 40 miles to the northeast of Tonopah.
Recently research has been conducted on the Hughes properties,
focusing on the Tonopah area where reporting in the 1980’s, indicate that over
2.175 million tons of mine dumps and mill tailings exist at surface on Summa’s
properties that contain in the order of 3.453 million ounces of silver, and
28,500 ounces of gold. In addition to this easily extractable surficial
resource, other reports indicate that 300 - 500,000 tons of mineralized
material is expected to remain at depth in old workings on Summa’s properties,
which is believed to contain an average 20 ounces silver and 0.20 ounces gold
per ton. Also several partially tested exploration targets have been identified
on Summa’s Tonopah claims, where further work could potentially lead to a
marked increase in known underground resources.
West Kirkland Mining has been working on the development of
their 75% owned project in Tonopah, most recently drilling to increase the resource
at the Three Hills gold/silver deposit where they intend to kick-off their
mining efforts in the future. To that end they have bought an additional six
patented mining claims here recently, and have also negotiated an agreement to
procure rights for the water that they will need for processing. Presently the
reserve at their Hasbrouck/Three Hills/Hill of Gold project stands at 45.3
million tons containing 762,000 ounces gold, and 10.6 million ounces Silver.
Coeur Mines and partner Idaho North Resources drilled in the Klondyke area to
the south of Tonopah (the same area where Summa holds several patented mining
claims that arise from the Hughes acquisition), and have done some drilling
recently in Tonopah on a prospect they have optioned adjacent and to the west
of Summa’s holdings.
The ongoing litigation with respect to Summa’s Tonopah holdings
had precluded investing time or money into the property, however in 2018 Summa
won a “quiet title” case in the Fifth Judicial Court in Tonopah, which
determined that Summas’ title is superior to all other claimants. In 2020
Summa, LLC signed an option agreement with 1237025 Nevada Ltd., which
eventually merged with a CSE listed company that ultimately became Summa Silver
Corp. Under the terms of the agreement Summa Silver has undertaken to explore
the property, pay $400,000 in cash and $400,000 in shares and incur $1.5
million in exploration expenditures in installments over the next five years.
The first anniversary of the agreement occurred in March 2021, with Summa
Silver having drilled the property continuously from June until December, and
expending over $4,000,000 in exploration on the property during that time.
Lithium Corporation received $13,000 from Summa, LLC as disbursements relating
to the Tonopah option in Q1 2021. The agreement contained an acceleration
clause and on September 28, 2021 Summa Silver advised Summa, LLC that they
would be exercising their right to accelerate, and as such Summa, LLC’s
interest has converted to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (one half of which Summa
Silver may purchase for $4,000,000) as Summa Silver issued 364,209 shares to
Summa LLC on October 8, 2021 and paid $275,000 in cash on October 8, 2021.
We are currently pursuing other properties which are believed to
be prospective for hosting lithium, graphite, nickle - cobalt and Rare Earth
Element mineralization, as well as evaluating a wide range of opportunities
brought to our company by third parties.
Additionally our company continues its generative program
exploring for new deposits of next generation battery related materials, as
well as assisting in the further development of the Hughes properties.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Three
Months Ended September 30, 2020
We had net loss of $56,326 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2021, which was $10,738 more than the net loss of $45,588 for the
three month period ended September 30, 2020. The change in our results over the
two periods is primarily the result of an increase in consulting fees, travel
and professional fees. The following table summarizes key items of comparison
and their related increase (decrease) for the three month periods ended

To date we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our shares
in order to sustain our basic, minimum operating expenses; however, we cannot
guarantee that we will secure any further sales of our shares or that our sole
officer and/or directors will provide us with any loans in the future. We
estimate that the cost of maintaining basic corporate operations (which
includes the cost of satisfying our public reporting obligations) will be
approximately $4,500 per month. Due to our current cash position of
approximately $1,892,426 as of September 30, 2021, we estimate that we do have
sufficient cash to sustain our basic operations for the next twelve months.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments,
events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to
result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Equity Financings
On January 25, 2021 we entered into a purchase agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement"), and a registration rights agreement,
(the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with Lincoln Park
Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park"), pursuant to which Lincoln
Park has committed to purchase up to $10,300,000 of the Company's common stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). In connection
with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and Lincoln
Park purchased, 380,952 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $160,000
(“Original Purchase”), and then another 357,995 shares (“Initial
Purchase”) for $150,000 after SEC approval of the S-1 document in April
2021.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase
Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to
Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10,300,000 worth
of shares of Common Stock. Such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any,
will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the
Company's sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing on the date that
a registration statement covering the resale of shares of Common Stock that
have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company
agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC
and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other
conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, all of which are
outside the control of Lincoln Park (such date on which all of such conditions
are satisfied, the "Commencement Date"). The Company shall
also have the right, but not the obligation to sell to Lincoln Park up to
$150,000 of shares of Common Stock on the Commencement Date at the Purchase
Price (as defined below).
Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day over the term
of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to
present Lincoln Park with a purchase notice (each, a "Purchase Notice")
directing Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock per
business day, which increases to up to 150,000 shares in the event the price of
the Company’s Common Stock is not below $0.25 per share; up to 200,000 shares
in the event the price of the Company’s Common Stock is not below $0.35 per
share and up to 250,000 shares in the event the price of the Company’s Common
Stock is not below $0.50 (the "Regular Purchase") (subject to
adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the
Purchase Agreement). In each case, Lincoln Park's maximum commitment in any
single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. The Purchase Agreement
provides for a purchase price per Purchase Share (the "Purchase Price")
equal to 93% of the lesser of:
● |
the
lowest sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the purchase date; and |
|
|
● |
the
average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the Company's Common
Stock during the twelve consecutive business days ending on the business day
immediately preceding the purchase date of such shares. |
|
25 |
|
In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a Purchase
Notice to Lincoln Park, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion,
to present Lincoln Park with an accelerated purchase notice (each, an "Accelerated
Purchase Notice") directing Lincoln Park to purchase an amount of
stock (the "Accelerated Purchase") equal to up to the lesser
of (i) three times the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to
such Regular Purchase; and (ii) 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company's
Common Stock traded during all or, if certain trading volume or market price
thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable
Accelerated Purchase Date, the portion of the normal trading hours on the
applicable Accelerated Purchase Date prior to such time that any one of such
thresholds is crossed (such period of time on the applicable Accelerated Purchase
Date, the "Accelerated Purchase Period"). The purchase price
per share of Common Stock for each such Accelerated Purchase will be equal to
93% of the lesser of:
● |
the
volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock during the
applicable Accelerated Purchase Period on the applicable Accelerated Purchase
Date; and |
|
|
● |
the
closing sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the applicable
Accelerated Purchase Date. |
Lincoln Park has no right to require the Company to sell any
shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park, but Lincoln Park is obligated to make
purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions. There are no
upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of
Common Stock.
The Company issued to Lincoln Park 1,375,779 shares of Common
Stock as commitment shares in consideration for entering into the Purchase
Agreement on the Execution Date.
Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the
Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the
Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the
trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the
appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park
has no right to require any sales by the Company but is obligated to make
purchases from the Company as it directs in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner
whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Company's
shares.
At the end of the quarter on September 30, 2021 the Company has
sold 6,840,797 shares to Lincoln Park for gross proceeds of $1,772,028. To
November 5th, 2021 the Company has sold 7,240,797 shares for gross
proceeds of $1,897,228.15.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common
stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There
is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity
securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business
activities.
Other than the Lincoln Park agreement we currently have no other
arrangement for future financings. While this arrangement should enable us to
continue with our current business plan, it is possible that unforeseeable
market fluctuations in the price of the Company’s common stock could
periodically render future sales of the Company’s stock under the terms of the
agreement undesirable, hence affecting our ability to continue financing
utilizing that instrument.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, and capital expenditures or capital resources that are
material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Exploration Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting
and reporting by exploration stage companies. An exploration stage company is
one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its
operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
|
26 |
|
Accounting Basis
Our company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"
accounting). Our company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term
instruments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the
balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Our company
continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not
experienced any losses in such accounts. Our company believes we are not
exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Our company has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once
our company has commenced operations, we will recognize revenues when delivery
of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive
evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the
fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and
conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the
conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such
conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted
earnings per share by application of the "if converted" method. In
the periods in which a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of
shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic
and diluted losses per share are the same. The Company did not have any
dilutive securities for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income
taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments
Our company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits,
prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless
otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that our company is not exposed to
significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation
of such assets and liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments
approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
|
27 |
|
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral
lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs
are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although our company has
taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest,
these procedures do not guarantee our company's title. Such properties may be
subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by
undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount. Impairment of $0 and $0 was recorded during the periods ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends
the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the
classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current
guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial
liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure
requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance
related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax
assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2017, and are to be adopted by means of a cumulative-effect
adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period
in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for
the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the
fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other
comprehensive income. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting this standard.
