PARAMOUNT GOLD NEVADA CORP.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Period Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (the “Company” or “Paramount”), incorporated under Chapter 78 of Nevada Revised Statutes, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal properties. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include New Sleeper Gold LLC, Sleeper Mining Company, LLC, and Calico Resources USA Corp (“Calico”). The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties in Nevada and Oregon, United States. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failing to secure additional funding to advance its projects and the risks of determining whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol “PZG”.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, are presented in US dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2023 10-K.

In addition to the significant accounting policies contained in the 2023 10-K, we have added the following policy:

Derivative Liability

The Company reviews the terms of its convertible loans to determine whether there are embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for as individual derivative financial instruments. The Company determined that a conversion feature embedded in its convertible loan is required to be accounted for separately from the convertible loan as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value and the remaining value allocated to the convertible loan net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The derivative liability will be fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Note 2. Going Concern

The Company has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations to date. As such the Company is subject to all the risks associated with development stage companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities which have been funded from the issuance of common stock, convertible notes, note payable and the sale of royalties on its mineral properties. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future, if at all, until such time it successfully initiates production at its Grassy Mountain Project, including obtaining construction financing, completing the construction of the proposed mine and anticipates incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future.

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.

Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future.

6


 

Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses.

Subsequent to May 14, 2024, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:

Existing cash on hand and working capital.
The existing ATM with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and A.G.P/Alliance Global Partners.
Insurance proceeds to fund reclamation and environmental obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project.
Equity financings and sale of royalties.

At March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was $7,012,365. During the month of December 2023, the Company entered into a Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) (Note 6) in favor of Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (US Collector), LP, as agent for itself and certain affiliates (collectively, “Sprott”). Pursuant to the Debenture, Sprott advanced $15,000,000 to Paramount, which will be used to fund the continued permitting of the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine and for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the Debenture were also used for the repayment of the Company’s outstanding 2019 secured convertible notes and notes payable, related parties. After the repayment of debt and transaction costs the net proceeds available to the Company after the Sprott transaction were $8,369,602.

Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities would be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations. In considering our financing plans and our current working capital position the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization with the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or 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); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, the royalty conversion option on the Debenture (see Note 6) and convertible debt. Due to their short maturity of our cash, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities, we believe that their carrying amounts approximate fair value as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

The Company determined that the Royalty conversion feature (Note 6) embedded in the Debenture is required to be accounted for separately from the Debenture as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value and the remaining value allocated to the Debenture net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The derivative liability will be fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the fair value derivative liability increased by $278,556 and it was recorded in Other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of March 31, 2024, the Royalty conversion feature is recorded at $3,038,934 (December 31, 2023 - $2,760,378) and is valued based on Level 3 inputs. Several steps were used to calculate the fair value of the Royalty conversion feature on the Debenture. First, the gross revenue estimates from the Company's 2022 Technical Report Summary on the Grassy Mountain Project, Oregon U.S.A

with an effective date of June 30, 2022 served as a basis for calculating the annual gross royalty amounts, utilizing the Royalty Agreement's royalty rate of 4.75% for the life of the mine The annual royalty amounts were discounted using a long term stock market rate of return of 10%. Second, a Black-Scholes model was used to calculate the fair value of the conversion option. The key assumptions in valuing the royalty conversion option derivative include:

Note 6. Convertible Debt

 

$15,000,000 Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture

Effective as of December 27, 2023, Paramount closed on a Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) with Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (US Collector), LP (“Sprott”) for $15,000,000. The Debenture bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, which, at Paramount’s discretion, will be payable in cash or shares of its common stock at a 7% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") from the scheduled date of payment of interest. The Debenture may be repaid in cash or is convertible into a gross revenue royalty (the “Royalty") of 4.75% of the gold and silver produced from the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine. The Debenture may be repaid in cash or through the issuance of the Royalty at the earlier of the commencement of commercial production or five years from the Debenture closing date. The conversion to the Royalty is at Sprott's sole discretion. Paramount may elect to repay the Debenture by providing 20 business day written notice, in cash only and in whole prior to its maturity at a price equal to the sum of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest plus a prepayment interest premium of equal to 36 months of interest less interest paid prior to the date of prepayment. Upon a sale of the Sleeper Gold Project, Sprott can elect to have a portion of the Debenture repaid with proceeds from the sale. In the event of default, the debenture will accrue interest at 13% per annum. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, the Company incurred $870,111 of debt issuance costs which will be reflected as a discount on the Debenture. Unamortized debt issuance costs will be amortized over the five year term of the Debenture and recorded as an interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

If the Royalty is issued, Paramount has the option to buy back 50% of the Royalty by paying either $11.25 million on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Royalty or $12.375 million on the third (3rd) anniversary. The Company’s obligations under the Debenture are secured by a pledge of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including without limitation by deeds of trust with respect to the Grassy Mountain project and the Company’s Nevada property, Sleeper. The Company is required to maintain a positive cash balance at all times and shall maintain a positive adjusted working capital amount at the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, Paramount was in compliance with these loan covenants.

The Company has accounted for the Royalty Conversion Option and related Buyback Provision as an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815 and recorded the derivative as a separate liability at fair value. The fair value of the derivative was $3,038,934 at March 31, 2024 and $2,760,378 at December 31, 2023 and at issuance December 27, 2023 (Note 3).

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Debenture consisted of the following:

In connection with the Debenture, Paramount and Calico entered into a Mining Right of First Refusal Option to Purchase Agreement (the “ROFR”) in favor of Sprott. Pursuant to the ROFR, we have granted to Sprott the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed grant, sale or issuance to any third party of a stream, royalty or similar interest (a “Mineral Interest”) based on or with reference to future production from the proposed Grassy Mountain gold and silver mine. If the cash equivalent value (with the value of any non-cash consideration of any third party offer (the “Third Party Consideration”) exceeds $60,000,000 then Sprott shall have the right to buy a percentage interest of the Mineral Interest equal to the percentage that $60,000,000 is to the Third Party Consideration (the “Proportionate Mineral Interest”). If the Third Party Consideration equals or is less than $60,000,000, Sprott shall have the right to buy the entire Mineral Interest subject to such third party offer.

 

The ROFR shall terminate on the date which is the earlier of (i) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the ROFR; (ii) the closing of one or more purchase transactions between us and Sprott in respect of Mineral Interests for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000,000 upon the exercise by Sprott of its rights pursuant to the ROFR; and (iii) the closing of a purchase transaction between us and third party in respect of a Mineral Interest for a purchase price in excess of $60,000,000 where Sprott does not exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to the ROFR.

In September 2019, the Company completed a private offering of 5,478 Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“2019 Convertible Notes”) at $975 per $1,000 face amount due in 2023. Each 2019 Convertible Note will bear an interest rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually. In September 2023, the maturity of the 2019 Convertible Notes was extended to the earlier of September 30, 2024 or the date of funding of the transaction contemplated by a non-binding term sheet between the Company and Sprott Resource and Streaming Royalty Corp and the annual interest rate increased to 12% commencing on October 1, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate of the 2019 Convertible Notes is 9.24%. The principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes will be convertible at a price of $1.00 per share of Paramount common stock. Unamortized discount and issuance costs of $275,883 will be amortized as an additional interest expense over the four year term of the 2019 Convertible Notes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company amortized $4,862 and $30,402 of discount and issuance costs. At any point after the second anniversary of the issuance of the convertible notes, Paramount may force conversion if the share price of its common stock remains above $1.75 for 20 consecutive trading days. The convertible notes are secured by a lien on all assets of the Company and the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of $250,000. During December 2023, all 2019 Convertible Notes outstanding were repaid by the Company.

 

Note 7. Notes Payable, Related Party

On December 9, 2022, the Company issued a Bridge Promissory Note (the "Note") to Seabridge, an entity affiliated with the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Rudi Fronk, and an owner of approximately 4.4% of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to which the Company may borrow, in one or more advances, the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 (the "Loan"). The Loan bears

interest at a per annum rate of 12%, payable upon maturity or prepayment, and matures on the earlier of November 30, 2023 or the date of funding of transaction as described below. The Company has the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

During the period ended September 30, 2023, an agreement between the Company and Seabridge was reached to extend the maturity of the Note to the earlier of November 30, 2023 or the date of funding of the transaction contemplated by a non-binding term sheet between the Company and Sprott Resource and Streaming Royalty Corp and increase the per annum interest rate of the Loan to 13% commencing on October 1, 2023.

During December 2023, the Company repaid the balance of the loan including accrued interest in the amount of $1,667,833.

Sleeper:

Sleeper is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 26 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca.

Grassy Mountain:

The Grassy Mountain Project is located in Malheur County, Oregon, approximately 22 miles south of Vale, Oregon, and roughly 70 miles west of Boise, Idaho.

Other Nevada Based Projects:

For the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company made a payment to Nevada Select in the amount of $50,000 under its option agreement to purchase the Bald Peak claims located in Nevada and also made a payment to Nevada Select in the amount of $50,000 under its option agreement to purchase the Frost claims located in Oregon.

Impairment of Mineral Properties

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no events or changes in circumstance are believed to have impacted recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. Accordingly, it was determined that no interim impairment was necessary.

Note 9. Reclamation and Environmental

Reclamation and environmental costs are based principally on legal requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mineral properties and properties under mine closure. On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.

The Company has posted several cash bonds as financial security to satisfy reclamation requirements. The balance of posted cash reclamation bonds at March 31, 2024 is $546,176 (June 30, 2023 - $546,176).

Paramount is responsible for managing the reclamation activities from the previous mine operations at the Sleeper Gold Mine as directed by the BLM and the Nevada State Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”). Paramount has estimated the undiscounted reclamation costs for existing disturbances at the Sleeper Gold Project required by the BLM to be $3,725,110. These costs are expected to be incurred between the calendar years 2024 and 2060. At March 31, 2024, Paramount has also estimated undiscounted reclamation cost as required by the NDEP to be $4,600,515. These costs include on-going monitoring and new requests from the NDEP to convert three processing ponds from the historical operations to evaporation cell ponds by the end of calendar year 2023. It is expected that NDEP will inspect and sign-off on the completed evaporation cell pond work in first half of the calendar year 2024. These costs are expected to be incurred between calendar years 2024 and 2039. The sum of expected costs by year are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate from the time it expects to pay for the reclamation to the time it incurs the obligation. The asset retirement obligation for the Sleeper Gold Project recorded on the balance sheet is equal to the present value of the estimated reclamation costs as required by both the BLM and NDEP.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments

Paramount has an agreement to acquire 44 mining claims (“Cryla Claims”) covering 589 acres located immediately to the west of the proposed Grassy Mountain site from Cryla LLC. Paramount is obligated to make annual lease payments of $60,000 per year until 2033 with an option to purchase the Cryla Claims for $560,000 at any time. The term of the agreement is 25 years and commenced in 2018. In the event Paramount exercises its option to acquire the Cryla Claims, all annual payments shall be credited against a production royalty that will be based on a prevailing price of the metals produced from the Cryla Claims. The royalty rate ranges between 2% and 4% based on the daily price of gold. The agreement with Cryla can be terminated by Paramount at any time. All lease payments under the agreement are up-to-date and no other payments were made during the nine month period ended March 31, 2024. The Cryla Claims are without known mineral reserves and there is no current exploratory work being performed.

Paramount has an agreement with Nevada Select Royalty to purchase 100% of the Frost Project, which consists of 40 mining claims located approximately 12 miles west of its Grassy Mountain Project. A total consideration of $250,000 payable to Nevada Select will be based on certain events over time. Nevada Select will retain a 2% NSR on the Frost Claims and Paramount has the right to reduce the NSR to 1% for a payment of $1 million. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, all required payments under the agreement are up-to-date. The Frost Claims are without known mineral reserves.

The Company has an agreement with Nevada Select to purchase the Bald Peak mining claims in the States of Nevada and California for a total consideration of $300,000. Payments under the agreement will be based on achieving certain events over time. Upon signing the agreement Paramount made a payment to Nevada Select of $20,000. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, a payment was made to Nevada Select for $50,000 under the terms of the agreement. All payments under the agreement are up to date as of March 31, 2024. The Bald Peak Claims are without known mineral reserves.

Seabridge Gold Inc. ("Seabridge") holds a Net Profit Interest ("NPI") put option in which during the 30-day period immediately following the day that the Company has delivered notice to Seabridge that a positive production decision has been made and construction financing has been secured with respect to the Grassy Mountain Project, Seabridge may cause the Company to purchase the NPI for CDN$10,000,000. If Seabridge exercises the right to cause the Company to purchase the NPI, the Company would likely need to seek additional equity or other financing to fund the purchase, which financing may not be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. As of March 31, 2024, Seabridge holds approximately 4.4% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and three members of Paramount's board of directors are either officers or directors of Seabridge.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

The Company sold 1,727,026 shares under its at the market program for gross proceeds of $719,351.

The Company also issued 7,500 shares upon the exercise of RSUs under its equity compensation plans.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements, for disclosure of mineral properties, are governed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), as issued by the SEC. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as adopted from the definitions provided by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions.

In our public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.

Overview

We are a company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing precious metal projects in the United States of America. Paramount owns advanced stage exploration projects in the states of Nevada and Oregon. We enhance the value of our projects by implementing exploration and engineering programs that have the goal to expand and upgrade known mineralized material to reserves. The following discussion updates our outlook and plan of operations for the foreseeable future. It also analyzes our financial condition and summarizes the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and compares these results to the results of the prior year three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating Highlights:

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company highlights include:

 

The BLM filed the Notice of Intent in the Federal Registry, initiating the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act process for the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold mine.
Paramount closed a $15 million financing with Sprott through the issuance of a Debenture. The proceeds of the Debenture will be used to fund the continued permitting of the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine and general corporate purposes. It was also used to repay the Company's outstanding debt.
The State of Oregon issued a Notice to Proceed with the permitting and preparation of draft permits.
The State of Oregon's Technical Review Team determined that Paramount's Consolidated Permit Application for the Grassy Mountain Project is complete.

15


 

Completed an updated technical report summary ("TRS") for the Sleeper Gold Property under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.

Outlook and Plan of Operation:

We believe that investors will gain a better understanding of the Company if they understand how we measure and disclose our results. As a development stage company, we do not generate cash flow from our operations. We recognize the importance of managing our liquidity and capital resources. We pay close attention to all cash expenses and look for ways to minimize them when possible. We ensure we have sufficient cash on hand to meet our annual land holding costs as the maintenance of mining claims and leases are essential to preserve the value of our mineral property assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As an exploration and development company, Paramount funds its operations, reclamation activities and discretionary exploration programs with its cash on hand. At March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,012,365 compared to $824,920 as at June 30, 2023. We had working capital of approximately $4,245,018. Our plans to manage our liquidity position is described below under Going Concern and Capital Resources.

In May 2020, the Company established an $8.0 million “at the market” equity offering program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor") and Canaccord Genuity LLC to proactively increase its financial flexibility. In March 2024, the Company established a new $3.1 million "at the market" offering program with Cantor and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 4,261,515 shares under the program for net proceeds of $1,167,893. Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 1,727,026 shares under the program for gross proceeds of $719,351.

During the month of December 2023, the Company entered into a Debenture in favor of Sprott. Pursuant to the Debenture, Sprott advanced $15,000,000 to Paramount, which will be used to fund the continued permitting of the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine and for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the Debenture were also used for the repayment of the Company’s outstanding 2019 secured convertible notes and its bridge promissory note in favor of Seabridge Gold Inc.

17


 

The main uses of cash for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were:

Cash used in operating activities of $3,064,814 were mainly used to fund our permitting and exploration activities at our projects, salary and benefits costs of our employees and ongoing general and administration costs.
Cash used in investing activities of $100,000 for the payment on the agreement to purchase the Bald Peak claims and on the agreement to purchase the Frost claims.

In addition to cash used in operating and investing activities, the Company received cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as follows:

Cash provided by financing activities of $9,352,259 which included sales under the ATM program, proceeds from the issuance of the Debenture to Sprott which were offset by the repayment of the 2019 convertible notes and Seabridge Loan.

Going Concern and Capital Resources

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.

Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future.

Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses.

We anticipate our twelve-month cash expenditures to be as follows:

$4.0 million on corporate, land claim maintenance and general expenses

We anticipate our twelve-month cash discretionary exploration and development, subject to available cash on hand as follows:

$1.8 million on the Grassy Mountain Project state and federal permitting activities
$1.7 million on the Bald Peak Project

For any interest that accrues and is owing on the outstanding Debenture, the Company expects to elect to pay the quarterly-annual interest payment in shares of its Common Stock.

Subsequent to May 14, 2024, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:

Existing cash on hand and working capital.
The existing ATM program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners
Insurance proceeds to fund reclamation and environmental obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project.
Equity financings or sale of royalties.

Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations. In considering our financing plans, our current working capital position and our ability to reduce operating expenses the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration and development cost, derivative accounting and foreign currency translation.

18


 

Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related the adequacy of the Company’s reclamation and environmental obligation, and assessment of impairment of mineral properties. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Mineral property acquisition costs

The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expense these costs if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.

The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred to acquire the properties and do not indicate any present or future value of economically recoverable reserves.

Exploration expenses

We record exploration expenses as incurred. When we determine that precious metal resource deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, further exploration expenses related to such reserves incurred after such a determination will be capitalized. To date, we have not established any proven or probable reserves and will continue to expense exploration costs as incurred.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is measured by discounting the expected cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the credit-adjusted risk free rate of interest, while taking into account the inflation rate. The Company prepares estimates of the timing and amounts of expected cash flows and ongoing reclamation expenditures are charged against the ARO as incurred to the extent they relate to the ARO. Significant judgments and estimates are made when estimating the fair value of ARO.

Convertible debt and derivative liabilities

We account for convertible notes with conversion features in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded conversion features are assessed to determine whether they meet the criteria for separate accounting as derivatives. If so, they are bifurcated and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in our Statement of Operations and the remaining value allocated to the convertible notes net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The determination of fair value involves the use of estimates, assumptions, and valuation models, including but not limited to discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. These estimates and assumptions may include, but are not limited to, future interest rates, volatility of gold and silver prices, and credit spreads. Changes in these inputs could result in significant adjustments to the fair value of our derivatives and may impact our financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, are presented in US dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2023 10-K.

In addition to the significant accounting policies contained in the 2023 10-K, we have added the following policy:

Derivative Liability

The Company reviews the terms of its convertible loans to determine whether there are embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for as individual derivative financial instruments. The Company determined that a conversion feature embedded in its convertible loan is required to be accounted for separately from the convertible loan as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value and the remaining value allocated to the convertible loan net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The derivative liability will be fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Going Concern

Note 2. Going Concern

The Company has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations to date. As such the Company is subject to all the risks associated with development stage companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities which have been funded from the issuance of common stock, convertible notes, note payable and the sale of royalties on its mineral properties. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future, if at all, until such time it successfully initiates production at its Grassy Mountain Project, including obtaining construction financing, completing the construction of the proposed mine and anticipates incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future.

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.

Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future.

Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses.

Subsequent to May 14, 2024, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:

Existing cash on hand and working capital.
The existing ATM with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and A.G.P/Alliance Global Partners.
Insurance proceeds to fund reclamation and environmental obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project.
Equity financings and sale of royalties.

At March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was $7,012,365. During the month of December 2023, the Company entered into a Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) (Note 6) in favor of Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (US Collector), LP, as agent for itself and certain affiliates (collectively, “Sprott”). Pursuant to the Debenture, Sprott advanced $15,000,000 to Paramount, which will be used to fund the continued permitting of the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine and for general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the Debenture were also used for the repayment of the Company’s outstanding 2019 secured convertible notes and notes payable, related parties. After the repayment of debt and transaction costs the net proceeds available to the Company after the Sprott transaction were $8,369,602.

Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities would be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations. In considering our financing plans and our current working capital position the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization with the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or 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); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, the royalty conversion option on the Debenture (see Note 6) and convertible debt. Due to their short maturity of our cash, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities, we believe that their carrying amounts approximate fair value as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

The Company determined that the Royalty conversion feature (Note 6) embedded in the Debenture is required to be accounted for separately from the Debenture as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value and the remaining value allocated to the Debenture net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The derivative liability will be fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the fair value derivative liability increased by $278,556 and it was recorded in Other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of March 31, 2024, the Royalty conversion feature is recorded at $3,038,934 (December 31, 2023 - $2,760,378) and is valued based on Level 3 inputs. Several steps were used to calculate the fair value of the Royalty conversion feature on the Debenture. First, the gross revenue estimates from the Company's 2022 Technical Report Summary on the Grassy Mountain Project, Oregon U.S.A

with an effective date of June 30, 2022 served as a basis for calculating the annual gross royalty amounts, utilizing the Royalty Agreement's royalty rate of 4.75% for the life of the mine The annual royalty amounts were discounted using a long term stock market rate of return of 10%. Second, a Black-Scholes model was used to calculate the fair value of the conversion option. The key assumptions in valuing the royalty conversion option derivative include:

Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units and Stock Based Compensation

Paramount’s 2015 and 2016 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans, which are stockholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units and stock to its employees and directors for up to 5.5 million shares of common stock.

Total stock-based compensation for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $259,325 and $278,346, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Paramount’s stock at the date of grant and have contractual lives of 5 years. To better align the interests of its key executives, employees and directors with those of its shareholders a significant portion of those share option awards will vest contingent upon meeting certain stock price appreciation

performance goals and other performance conditions. Option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans).

For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not grant stock options (Nine months ended March 31, 2023 – 50,000).

The fair value for these options were calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuations method. The weighted average assumptions used were as follows:

$15,000,000 Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture

Effective as of December 27, 2023, Paramount closed on a Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) with Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (US Collector), LP (“Sprott”) for $15,000,000. The Debenture bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, which, at Paramount’s discretion, will be payable in cash or shares of its common stock at a 7% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") from the scheduled date of payment of interest. The Debenture may be repaid in cash or is convertible into a gross revenue royalty (the “Royalty") of 4.75% of the gold and silver produced from the proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine. The Debenture may be repaid in cash or through the issuance of the Royalty at the earlier of the commencement of commercial production or five years from the Debenture closing date. The conversion to the Royalty is at Sprott's sole discretion. Paramount may elect to repay the Debenture by providing 20 business day written notice, in cash only and in whole prior to its maturity at a price equal to the sum of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest plus a prepayment interest premium of equal to 36 months of interest less interest paid prior to the date of prepayment. Upon a sale of the Sleeper Gold Project, Sprott can elect to have a portion of the Debenture repaid with proceeds from the sale. In the event of default, the debenture will accrue interest at 13% per annum. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, the Company incurred $870,111 of debt issuance costs which will be reflected as a discount on the Debenture. Unamortized debt issuance costs will be amortized over the five year term of the Debenture and recorded as an interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

If the Royalty is issued, Paramount has the option to buy back 50% of the Royalty by paying either $11.25 million on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Royalty or $12.375 million on the third (3rd) anniversary. The Company’s obligations under the Debenture are secured by a pledge of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including without limitation by deeds of trust with respect to the Grassy Mountain project and the Company’s Nevada property, Sleeper. The Company is required to maintain a positive cash balance at all times and shall maintain a positive adjusted working capital amount at the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, Paramount was in compliance with these loan covenants.

The Company has accounted for the Royalty Conversion Option and related Buyback Provision as an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815 and recorded the derivative as a separate liability at fair value. The fair value of the derivative was $3,038,934 at March 31, 2024 and $2,760,378 at December 31, 2023 and at issuance December 27, 2023 (Note 3).

In connection with the Debenture, Paramount and Calico entered into a Mining Right of First Refusal Option to Purchase Agreement (the “ROFR”) in favor of Sprott. Pursuant to the ROFR, we have granted to Sprott the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed grant, sale or issuance to any third party of a stream, royalty or similar interest (a “Mineral Interest”) based on or with reference to future production from the proposed Grassy Mountain gold and silver mine. If the cash equivalent value (with the value of any non-cash consideration of any third party offer (the “Third Party Consideration”) exceeds $60,000,000 then Sprott shall have the right to buy a percentage interest of the Mineral Interest equal to the percentage that $60,000,000 is to the Third Party Consideration (the “Proportionate Mineral Interest”). If the Third Party Consideration equals or is less than $60,000,000, Sprott shall have the right to buy the entire Mineral Interest subject to such third party offer.

 

The ROFR shall terminate on the date which is the earlier of (i) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the ROFR; (ii) the closing of one or more purchase transactions between us and Sprott in respect of Mineral Interests for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000,000 upon the exercise by Sprott of its rights pursuant to the ROFR; and (iii) the closing of a purchase transaction between us and third party in respect of a Mineral Interest for a purchase price in excess of $60,000,000 where Sprott does not exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to the ROFR.

In September 2019, the Company completed a private offering of 5,478 Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“2019 Convertible Notes”) at $975 per $1,000 face amount due in 2023. Each 2019 Convertible Note will bear an interest rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually. In September 2023, the maturity of the 2019 Convertible Notes was extended to the earlier of September 30, 2024 or the date of funding of the transaction contemplated by a non-binding term sheet between the Company and Sprott Resource and Streaming Royalty Corp and the annual interest rate increased to 12% commencing on October 1, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate of the 2019 Convertible Notes is 9.24%. The principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes will be convertible at a price of $1.00 per share of Paramount common stock. Unamortized discount and issuance costs of $275,883 will be amortized as an additional interest expense over the four year term of the 2019 Convertible Notes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company amortized $4,862 and $30,402 of discount and issuance costs. At any point after the second anniversary of the issuance of the convertible notes, Paramount may force conversion if the share price of its common stock remains above $1.75 for 20 consecutive trading days. The convertible notes are secured by a lien on all assets of the Company and the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of $250,000. During December 2023, all 2019 Convertible Notes outstanding were repaid by the Company.

Sleeper:

Sleeper is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 26 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca.

Grassy Mountain:

The Grassy Mountain Project is located in Malheur County, Oregon, approximately 22 miles south of Vale, Oregon, and roughly 70 miles west of Boise, Idaho.

Other Nevada Based Projects:

For the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company made a payment to Nevada Select in the amount of $50,000 under its option agreement to purchase the Bald Peak claims located in Nevada and also made a payment to Nevada Select in the amount of $50,000 under its option agreement to purchase the Frost claims located in Oregon.

Impairment of Mineral Properties

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no events or changes in circumstance are believed to have impacted recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. Accordingly, it was determined that no interim impairment was necessary.

Reclamation and Environmental

Note 9. Reclamation and Environmental

Reclamation and environmental costs are based principally on legal requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mineral properties and properties under mine closure. On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.

The Company has posted several cash bonds as financial security to satisfy reclamation requirements. The balance of posted cash reclamation bonds at March 31, 2024 is $546,176 (June 30, 2023 - $546,176).

Paramount is responsible for managing the reclamation activities from the previous mine operations at the Sleeper Gold Mine as directed by the BLM and the Nevada State Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”). Paramount has estimated the undiscounted reclamation costs for existing disturbances at the Sleeper Gold Project required by the BLM to be $3,725,110. These costs are expected to be incurred between the calendar years 2024 and 2060. At March 31, 2024, Paramount has also estimated undiscounted reclamation cost as required by the NDEP to be $4,600,515. These costs include on-going monitoring and new requests from the NDEP to convert three processing ponds from the historical operations to evaporation cell ponds by the end of calendar year 2023. It is expected that NDEP will inspect and sign-off on the completed evaporation cell pond work in first half of the calendar year 2024. These costs are expected to be incurred between calendar years 2024 and 2039. The sum of expected costs by year are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate from the time it expects to pay for the reclamation to the time it incurs the obligation. The asset retirement obligation for the Sleeper Gold Project recorded on the balance sheet is equal to the present value of the estimated reclamation costs as required by both the BLM and NDEP.

The following variables were used in the calculation for the periods ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments

Paramount has an agreement to acquire 44 mining claims (“Cryla Claims”) covering 589 acres located immediately to the west of the proposed Grassy Mountain site from Cryla LLC. Paramount is obligated to make annual lease payments of $60,000 per year until 2033 with an option to purchase the Cryla Claims for $560,000 at any time. The term of the agreement is 25 years and commenced in 2018. In the event Paramount exercises its option to acquire the Cryla Claims, all annual payments shall be credited against a production royalty that will be based on a prevailing price of the metals produced from the Cryla Claims. The royalty rate ranges between 2% and 4% based on the daily price of gold. The agreement with Cryla can be terminated by Paramount at any time. All lease payments under the agreement are up-to-date and no other payments were made during the nine month period ended March 31, 2024. The Cryla Claims are without known mineral reserves and there is no current exploratory work being performed.

Paramount has an agreement with Nevada Select Royalty to purchase 100% of the Frost Project, which consists of 40 mining claims located approximately 12 miles west of its Grassy Mountain Project. A total consideration of $250,000 payable to Nevada Select will be based on certain events over time. Nevada Select will retain a 2% NSR on the Frost Claims and Paramount has the right to reduce the NSR to 1% for a payment of $1 million. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, all required payments under the agreement are up-to-date. The Frost Claims are without known mineral reserves.

The Company has an agreement with Nevada Select to purchase the Bald Peak mining claims in the States of Nevada and California for a total consideration of $300,000. Payments under the agreement will be based on achieving certain events over time. Upon signing the agreement Paramount made a payment to Nevada Select of $20,000. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2024, a payment was made to Nevada Select for $50,000 under the terms of the agreement. All payments under the agreement are up to date as of March 31, 2024. The Bald Peak Claims are without known mineral reserves.

Seabridge Gold Inc. ("Seabridge") holds a Net Profit Interest ("NPI") put option in which during the 30-day period immediately following the day that the Company has delivered notice to Seabridge that a positive production decision has been made and construction financing has been secured with respect to the Grassy Mountain Project, Seabridge may cause the Company to purchase the NPI for CDN$10,000,000. If Seabridge exercises the right to cause the Company to purchase the NPI, the Company would likely need to seek additional equity or other financing to fund the purchase, which financing may not be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. As of March 31, 2024, Seabridge holds approximately 4.4% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and three members of Paramount's board of directors are either officers or directors of Seabridge.

Derivative Liability

Derivative Liability

The Company reviews the terms of its convertible loans to determine whether there are embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for as individual derivative financial instruments. The Company determined that a conversion feature embedded in its convertible loan is required to be accounted for separately from the convertible loan as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value and the remaining value allocated to the convertible loan net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The derivative liability will be fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
