TABLE OF CONTENTS
Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references in this registration statement to "we", "our" and "us" and the "Company" refer to Atacama Resources International, Inc.
Item 1. Description of Business
Atacama Resources International, Inc. was incorporated in Florida on June 14, 2013 (formerly Arrakis Mining Research, Inc, until 1/9/2015). The registrant has been publicly traded on OTC Pink Markets under the symbol "ACRL" since March 2016. The registrant has an active standing in that state. Atacama Resources International, Inc. focuses on mining claims for properties in Kirkland Lake, Ontario's 'Golden Mile' that show indications of having viable concentrations of gold ore. When looking for gold, concentrations of cobalt and graphite were found as well, and the registrant decided that cobalt and graphite were targets of interest as well.
On June 20, 2018, the registrant received a Determination Letter from the Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") stating that their staff had determined that the registrant met the requirements to be designated an "OTC reporting Issuer" in Alberta. As part of this designation, the ASC required the registrant to file the two most recent years of outstanding filings beginning with the annual period ended December 31, 2016 must be filed on SEDAR+ in Canada before July 26, 2018 or else a CTO would be placed on the registrant. On July 27, 2018, the registrant was unable to meet these financial disclosure obligations and received a Cease Trade Order from the ASC.
On August 10, 2022, the officers and directors of the registrant resigned. Glenn Grant and Dan Finch became the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer respectively of the registrant at that time. Before the change in management, the registrant had large outstanding payables, a negative balance in its bank accounts, no mining activities, and was not making any efforts to address the Cease Trade Order. At the same time, unpaid salaries were being accrued.
On February 1, 2024, Mr. Finch resigned from his position as the Chief Operating Officer. On April 1, 2024, Greg Praver was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer. On April 16, 2024, Thomas Moynihan and Brian Praver were appointed as the Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Business Development, respectively.
Following the change in management, the registrant has purchased numerous mining claims that are considered claims of merit, developed a 43-101F1 for one of its properties, and has plans to drill on at least one property as soon as possible. The registrant is currently working to satisfy the requirements of the Alberta Securities Commission for the removal of the Cease Trade Order.
Mining Market
Since the registrant was founded, the EV (Electric Vehicle) market has matured and over the last two years especially, virtually all automobile manufacturers globally have decided that their future is dependent on transitioning from internal combustion engine-powered automobiles to electric automobiles, SUV's, and trucks. This means that the demand for lithium, cobalt, and graphite used to manufacture EV batteries will increase exponentially in the years ahead.
Because of the ever-increasing demand for lithium, especially, new lithium mining sources must be found in the Western Hemisphere to offset current sources of lithium in countries that may exploit their strong position and do not always work in the best interests of the United States. The registrant is committed to becoming a player in lithium exploration activities in Canada and the US.
Atacama Resources International is a United States public company which is current with the OTC Pink Market. As stated earlier the registrant is a mining exploration company with mining claims in the greater Kirkland Lake area in Ontario, Canada. The company is reviewing additional properties in northern Canada as well as properties in the United States.
Due to the enormous growth of the EV market, minerals of interest include gold, graphite, cobalt, lithium, silver, and nickel.
There are several gold properties near the existing Atacama gold property in Kirkland Lake that are under review for the purpose of acquiring additional mining claims. In addition, the company has previously explored cobalt and graphite locations within 30 miles of the existing Atacama gold property. The cobalt and graphite claims are still available, and steps are being taken to acquire the mineral rights to these properties.
The registrant is talking with brokers presenting lithium properties in both Canada and the United States. Decisions will be made this year regarding the acquisition of mining claims relating to lithium. Properties in Nevada look very promising, and a lithium processing plant is being built in Northern Nevada.
The emergence of the EV market has presented a new opportunity for the registrant and the registrant is positioning itself to take advantage of the opportunity.
Growth Strategy for the Company
The registrant is a small cap mining exploration and development company that has the rights to 147 mining claims spread over 4647 acres in Northern Ontario. 80% of the acreage has been acquired in the last year. The registrant plans to add significant graphite acreage in the next six to twelve months. The registrant intends to start developing the Tannahill gold property and the Heighington lithium property during 2023. The Atacama 3 gold, the Cabo cobalt property, and the rare earth properties will be developed in 2024.
Competition
The registrant operates in a competitive industry and competes with other more well-established companies which have greater financial resources than we do. We face strong competition from other mining companies in connection with exploration and the acquisition of properties producing, or capable of producing, base and precious metals. Many of these companies have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than us. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms we consider acceptable or at all.
Our prime competitors are mining exploration companies, such as Teck Resources Limited, a Canadian company, and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, a Canadian company, which both engage in the exploration and production of minerals from properties around the world, including Canada. We also compete with Cabo Drilling Corp., Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., AECON Mining Inc. in Timmins, Victoria Gold Mines East Timmins Ltd., and GOWEST Gold Ltd, Timmins, Ont. These companies all perform mining exploration in Canada.
Employees
As of July 30, 2024, we do not have any full or part time employees. All work is done through independent contractors.
Properties
The registrant has office space at 1317 Edgewater Dr., #2510, Orlando, FL 32804 as their US office for corporate management. It is an office suite that has approximately 500 square feet. The registrant pays a monthly rental expense of $500 for the space.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Plan of Operations
The registrant plans to develop all of its properties through geophysical analysis, drilling, collecting core samples, and assaying core samples. The objective is to locate and develop potentially commercially viable amounts of gold, lithium, cobalt and rare earth minerals. The registrant has contracts with geologists, drilling operations, prospectors, assay laboratories, and 43-101 experts.
After the registrant prepares the NI 43-101 technical report for the properties, we will use the results to determine whether it is in the best interests of the registrant to seek a joint venture with a mining production company or to sell the property.
On June 20, 2018, the registrant received a Determination Letter from the ASC stating that their staff had determined that the registrant met the requirements to be designated an "OTC reporting Issuer" in Alberta. As part of this designation, the ASC required the registrant to file the two most recent years of outstanding filings beginning with the annual period ended December 31, 2016 must be filed on SEDAR+ in Canada before July 26, 2018 or else a CTO would be placed on the registrant. On July 27, 2018, the registrant was unable to meet there financial disclosure obligations and received a Cease Trade Order from the ASC. The registrant has raised funds from current investors sufficient to continue operations until the raise has been completed and has spent significant time and funds to satisfy the requirements of the Alberta Securities Commission for the removal of the Cease Trade Order.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2024, we had $18,678 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $7,217,950. There is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern based on the understanding that we do not have adequate working capital to finance our day-to-day operations for at least twelve months. We will require additional funding to meet our obligations as they come due and to fund the development of our existing technologies. We may raise capital through loans from current stockholders, public or private equity or debt offerings, grants, or strategic arrangements with third parties, and we intend to and are in the process of seeking out possible international capital raising opportunities. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth from operations, pay current obligations and future capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from the private sources and/or debt financing. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. Our Plan of Operation for the next twelve months is to raise capital to implement our strategy. We do not have the necessary cash and revenue to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then we may not be able to expand our operations.
We believe that the successful completion of this offering will eliminate this doubt and enable us to continue as a going concern; however, if we are unable to raise sufficient capital in this offering, we may need to obtain alternative financing or significantly modify our operational plans in order to continue operations. We currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with any person to obtain additional funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we may be required to further scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business. The issuance of additional equity securities could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We are not aware of any trends or known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in material increases or decreases in liquidity.
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Material changes in our Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are discussed below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the registrant will continue as a going concern which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
As of June 30, 2024, the registrant had $18,678 in cash and cash equivalents. The registrant has not generated revenue and has relied primarily upon capital generated from officers and directors of the registrant.
The registrant had a comprehensive loss of $383,162 and $444,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The registrant has accumulated losses totaling $7,217,950 at June 30, 2024. Because of the absence of positive cash flows from operations, the registrant will require additional funding for continuing the development and marketing of products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the registrant's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The registrant presently able to meet its obligations as they come due through borrowing and the support of the registrant's officers and directors. At June 30, 2024, the registrant had a working capital deficit of $1,434,997. The registrant's working capital deficit is due to the results of operations.
The registrant issued three convertible promissory notes in 2022, eighteen convertible promissory notes in 2023 and two convertible promissory notes as of June 30, 2024. The interest rate of these notes is 8%, and they each had a term of one year. The registrant and certain lenders executed an amendment to each of the notes to restate their respective interest rates as 8% and to extend the maturity date by an additional year. None of the notes issued contain penalty provisions upon default and none of the notes are currently in default.
The registrant sources of financing were provided by the issuance of convertible promissory notes. The table below represent the convertible promissory notes issued as of June 30, 2024:

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $205,054 and $253,371, respectively.
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth from operations, pay current obligations and future capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from the private sources and/or debt financing. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. Our Plan of Operation for the next twelve months is to raise capital to implement our strategy. We do not have the necessary cash and revenue to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then we may not be able to expand our operations. If adequate funds are not available, we believe that our officers and directors will contribute funds to pay for some of our expenses. However, we have not made any arrangements or agreements with our officers and directors regarding such advancement of funds. We do not know whether we will issue stock for the loans or whether we will merely prepare and sign promissory notes. If we are forced to seek funds from our officers or directors, we will negotiate the specific terms and conditions of such loan when made, if ever.
We are not aware of any trends or known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in material increases or decreases in liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of its Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the valuation of our assets and contingencies. In consultation with the Company's Board of Directors, management has identified in the accompanying financial statements the accounting policies that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management's most difficult, subjective judgments. See "Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our financial statements for additional information. We believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our financial statements are based on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we would experience additional losses from the write-down of assets.
Off - Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have made 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, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

In accordance with such rules, the Board has determined that Ben Burkhardt and Don Swartz are independent directors.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or preceding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Atacama Resources International, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
Atacama Resources International, Inc. (hereinafter the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Florida in June 2013. The Company is a mineral exploration company with assets located in northeastern Ontario, Canada.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had a net loss of ($617,857) and net income of $54,423, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash flows from operating activities of ($333,465) and ($61,479), respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had working capital deficit of $1,328,772. The Company has generated $0 in revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the business of mineral exploration and will not be in a position to generate revenues until it is able to (i) dispose of an asset(s) by way of a sale for a profit, or (ii) develop an asset(s) to the point where it becomes a producing mine facility. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan to obtain such resources for the Company include, obtaining capital by of capital raises and the sale of shares.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Cambrian Mining Corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of a year or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
CASH FLOWS REPORTING
The Company follows ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method ("Indirect method") as defined by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period.
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property in accordance with FASB ASC 930, Extractive Activities - Mining. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold and silver deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates at least Annual, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain.
Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the termination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.
During the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded exploration costs of $93,048 and $130,124, respectively.
RELATED PARTIES
The Company follows ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosures," for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related party transactions are summarized in Note 10.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and restricted cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions in bank deposits, money market funds, U.S. government securities and other investment grade debt securities that have strong credit ratings. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification of its cash and marketable securities and their maturities that are intended to secure safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates and changes in the Company's operations and financial position. Although the Company may deposit its cash and cash equivalents with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's consolidated balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). 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. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Derivative liabilities include the fair value of instruments such as common stock warrants, preferred stock warrants and convertible features of notes, that are initially recorded at fair value and are required to be re-measured to fair value at each reporting period under provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The change in fair value of the instruments is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the Company's statements of operations until the instruments settle, expire or are no longer classified as derivative liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value include the exercise price, volatility of the stock underlying the instrument, risk-free interest rate, estimated fair value of the stock underlying the instrument and the estimated life of the instrument.
As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had Level 3 financial instruments consisting of derivative liabilities relating to the conversion feature of convertible debt. The balance of the derivative liability at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $10,409 and $7,624, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which is effective for public business entities with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This new revenue recognition standard (new guidance) has a five-step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. The Company's initial application of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures and there was no cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC 606.
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
- Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and the parties are committed to perform, and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for goods or services that will be transferred is probable based on the customer's intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
- Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
- Determination of the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Constraints are applied when estimating variable considerations based on historical experience where applicable.
- Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
All current contracts are of a single performance obligation thus the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price taking into account available information such as historical selling prices of the performance obligation, geographic location, overall strategic objective, market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligation.
- Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligation
We satisfy performance obligations either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized at or over the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer.
The Company did not generate revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the "more likely than not" criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices as of December 31, 2023.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of $985,000 available to reduce federal taxable income. The Company's ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to the non-filing of tax returns. Under the CARES act, net operating losses arising after 2017 are able to be carried forward indefinitely. Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2023 and 2022. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
SHARE-BASED EXPENSE
ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense was $156,489 and $0 for the Years ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no known commitments or contingencies as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation's reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
In May 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer's accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financial statements.
NOTE 4 - ACCRUED COMPENSATION
The Company's accrued compensation consisted of the following:

Total Accrued Compensation | $ | 372,476 | $ | 243,600 |
On August 10, 2022, the Company entered into individual settlement agreements with David Berry and Colin Keith. Mr. Berry's settlement agreement consisted of CAD $75,000 (US $55,830) and stock to be issued at a future date. The valuation of the stock on August 10, 2022 was $615,000 based on $0.0082 per common share. Mr. Berry also agreed to forgive the balance of his accrued compensation. Mr. Keith's settlement agreement consisted of CAD $175,000 (US $130,270). Mr. Keith agreed to forgive the balance of his accrued compensation. A total of $594,516 of accrued compensation was forgiven based on these agreements.
NOTE 5. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
At December 31, 2022, the Company had issued $20,000 in convertible notes payable to various lenders. All notes have an interest rate of 8% per annum and maturity dates between August 26,2024 and October 12, 2024. Default terms are not defined within the notes.
The holders, individually, shall have the right any time after the ASC CTO has been lifted to convert the total outstanding principal and interest into Common Stock. The conversion shall be determined by dividing the total outstanding principal and interest by the conversion price. The conversion price is calculated at 85% of the five-day average stock price, looking backwards, effective when the Company receives written confirmation that the ASC CTO has been lifted.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had issued $217,000 in convertible notes payable to various lenders. All notes have an interest rate of 8% per annum and maturity dates between January 24, 2024 and November 15, 2024. Default terms are not defined within the notes.
The holders, individually, shall have the right any time after the ASC CTO has been lifted to convert the total outstanding principal and interest into Common Stock. Each note is convertible into a fixed number of shares in accordance with the note agreement. The conversion price is calculated by dividing the total outstanding principal and interest by the fixed number of shares per note agreement.
The Company accounts for this embedded conversion feature as a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83 and valued separately from the note at fair value. The embedded conversion feature of the note is revalued at each subsequent reporting date at fair value and any changes in fair value will result in a gain or loss in those periods. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the derivative liability associated with all convertible notes payable was $10,409 and $7,624 respectively
Convertible Notes payable consisted of the following: | December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | ||||
Convertible notes payable: | $ | 237,000 | $ | 20,000 | ||
Debt discount | 0 | (3,639 | ) | |||

Accrued interest | 12,531 | 454 | ||||
Current portion of convertible note payable and interest | $ | 249,531 | $ | 16,815 |
NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The fair value of the Company's derivative liabilities is estimated at the issuance date and is revalued at each subsequent reporting date. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value include the exercise price, volatility of the stock underlying the instrument, risk-free interest rate, estimated fair value of the stock underlying the instrument and the estimated life of the instrument.
A summary of the activity of the derivative liability for the notes above is as follows:
December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||
Balance at Beginning of period | $ | 7,642 | $ | ---- | ||
Increase in derivative due to new issuances | ---- | ---- | ||||
Derivative loss due to mark to market adjustment | 2,767 | (940 | ) | |||
Balance at end of period | $ | 10,409 | $ | 7,642 |
A summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company's derivative liability that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
Inputs | December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | Initial Valuation | ||||||

Volatility (annual) | 99.05% | 62.26% | 62.43% - 96.39% |
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% is being used due to the new tax law recently enacted.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following at December 31:
2023 | 2022 | |||||
Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | ||||||
Current Operations | $ | 124,000 | $ | (11,000 | ) | |
Less: valuation allowance | (124,000 | ) | 11,000 | |||
Net provision for Federal income taxes | $ | - | $ | - |
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows at December 31:
2023 | 2022 | |||||
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | ||||||
Net operating loss carryover | $ | 985,000 | $ | 855,000 | ||
Less: valuation allowance | (985,000 | ) | (855,000 | ) | ||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - | $ | - |
At December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $985,000 that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2023, or 2022 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Atacama Resources International, Inc. (hereinafter the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Florida in June 2013. The Company is a mineral exploration company with assets located in northeastern Ontario, Canada.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a net loss of ($374,020) and ($446,756), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had cash flows from operating activities of ($229,728) and ($206,753), respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital deficit of $1,434,997. The Company has generated $0 in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the business of mineral exploration and will not be in a position to generate revenues until it is able to (i) dispose of an asset(s) by way of a sale for a profit, or (ii) develop an asset(s) to the point where it becomes a producing mine facility. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan to obtain such resources for the Company include, obtaining capital by of capital raises and the sale of shares.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Cambrian Mining Corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
CASH FLOWS REPORTING
The Company follows ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method ("Indirect method") as defined by ASC 230, Statement of
Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period.
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property in accordance with ASC 930, Extractive Activities - Mining. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold and silver deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates at least Annual, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain.
Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the termination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded exploration costs of $406,937 and $106,653, respectively.
RELATED PARTIES
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related party transactions are summarized in Note 10.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and restricted cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions in bank deposits, money market funds, U.S. government securities and other investment grade debt securities that have strong credit ratings. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification of its cash and marketable securities and their maturities that are intended to secure safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates and changes in the Company's operations and financial position. Although the Company may deposit its cash and cash equivalents with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's consolidated balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). 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. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Derivative liabilities include the fair value of instruments such as common stock warrants, preferred stock warrants and convertible features of notes, that are initially recorded at fair value and are required to be re-measured to fair value at each reporting period under provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The change in fair value of the instruments is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the Company's statements of operations until the instruments settle, expire or are no longer classified as derivative liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value include the exercise price, volatility of the stock underlying the instrument, risk-free interest rate, estimated fair value of the stock underlying the instrument and the estimated life of the instrument.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had Level 3 financial instruments consisting of derivative liabilities relating to the conversion feature of convertible debt. The balance of the derivative liability at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $11,638 and $10,409, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company follows ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. ASC 606, has a five-step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
- Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and the parties are committed to perform, and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for goods or services that will be transferred is probable based on the customer's intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
- Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
- Determination of the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Constraints are applied when estimating variable considerations based on historical experience where applicable.
- Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
All current contracts are of a single performance obligation thus the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price taking into account available information such as historical selling prices of the performance obligation, geographic location, overall strategic objective, market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligation.
- Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligation
We satisfy performance obligations either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized at or over the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer.
The Company did not generate revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the "more likely than not" criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices as of June 30, 2024.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of $985,000 available to reduce federal taxable income. The Company's ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to the non-filing of tax returns. Under the CARES act, net operating losses arising after 2017 are able to be carried forward indefinitely. Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2024 and 2023. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
SHARE-BASED EXPENSE
ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense was $30,753 and $193,500 for the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no known commitments or contingencies as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation's reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
