Our unaudited interim financial statements for the three and nine months period ended August 31, 2021 form part of this quarterly report. They are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Century Cobalt Corp. (formerly First American Silver Corp.) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 29, 2008. The Company’s principal office is located at 10100 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 300, Century City, California 90067. The Company’s principal business activity is the identification and exploration of mineral properties for the purposes of discovering economical cobalt assets.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of the business, and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain information and disclosures included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.
The results for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These unaudited financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2021.
These consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary on October 8, 2018 by the Company through the issuance of 100 common shares at $0.01 per share for proceeds of $1. As Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. is a holding company and, as such, has no accounts or activity. The Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. All intercompany balances between the Company and Emperium 1 are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a November 30 fiscal year end.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively, the Company had $7,619 and $19,482 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.
The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At times, the Company’s bank deposits may exceed the insured amount. Management believes it has little risk related to the excess deposits.
Prepaid Expenses
The Company considers all items incurred for future services to be prepaid expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: 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; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income. All assets and liabilities of the Company approximate fair value.
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets periodically, or at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy of the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value. Management is not aware of any impairment changes that may currently be required; however, we cannot predict the occurrence of events that might adversely affect the reported values in the future.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718. The scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, includes share-based payments issued to employees and nonemployees for goods and services. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
Total stock-based compensation amounted to $111,085 and $18,600 for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $157,595 and $22,321 for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of August 31, 2021, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The convertible debt to common shares and unissued stock earned could potentially amount to approximately 5,537,000 additional shares issued by the Company. The Company’s convertible notes and unissued shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s losses for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded on the initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency with any related gain or loss recorded in earnings. The Company translates assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign transactions into the U.S. dollar reporting currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The Company translates income and expense items of such foreign transactions into the U.S. dollar reporting currency at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of US GAAP. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2019-12 and there was no material impact on the on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluation the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration 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.
Mineral properties are analyzed for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if warranted by circumstances. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present.
Capitalization
Only assets with a cost over $5,000 and a useful life of over 1 year are capitalized. All other costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Century Cobalt Corp., Inc. will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficit, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional debt or capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
The Company’s activities to date have been supported by debt and equity financing. It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of $4,494,803 as of August 31, 2021. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors.
NOTE 4 – PREPAID EXPENSES

NOTE 5 – RESOURCE PROPERTY
On August 7, 2018, we entered into an assignment agreement with Oriental Rainbow Group Ltd., in regards to the acquisition of certain mineral claims in Lemhi County, Idaho known as the “Idaho Cobalt Belt”.
Oriental Rainbow and Plateau Ventures LLC had entered into a purchase agreement dated September 4, 2017, wherein Oriental Rainbow had acquired from Plateau a 100% interest in the property, subject to certain subsequent payments and conditions. The claims comprising the property (649 claims) initially totaled approximately 12,980 acres, subject to an option under the purchase agreement for the acquisition of additional claims by issuing a further 500,000 common shares valued at $20,000 to Plateau Ventures LLC. Such option had been exercised with additional claims acquired, resulting in a total of 695 claims comprising approximately 13,900 acres. The value of the claims was $248,000at August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020 and recorded at resource property in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company perform an annual impairment test at November 30, 2020 and determined an impairment charge was not necessary.
Oriental Rainbow has assigned its interest in the property to us in consideration for 2,500,000 restricted shares (issued) of common stock valued at $100,000 (the “Consideration Shares”). The Company has assumed all of Oriental Rainbow’s obligations under the purchase agreement, which material obligations include: the issuance of up to 500,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at $20,000, to Plateau upon listing on a recognized stock exchange (issued) and paying Plateau $1,000,000 in four equal staged payments upon completion of a positive feasibility study on the property. The vendor retains a 1% royalty on revenue derived from the sale of cobalt concentrate and other ore extracts from the property. The Company has the option to purchase this 1% royalty at any time for $1,000,000 in cash or common shares. As of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively, the Company has invested $248,000 into the above-mentioned mineral claims. These amounts are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
