PUREBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Corporate Overview
Purebase
Corporation (“Purebase” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of
The Company’s headquarters is in Sutter Creek, California.
Agricultural Sector
The Company develops specialized sun protectants. The Company has developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of kaolin clay.
Construction Sector
The Company had been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believed would help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). The Company was developing an SCM that it believed could potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, the Company believed there were significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction materials sector.
The Company has decided that it will no longer develop and pursue the SCM market. The Company has decided to instead further develop and expand its presence in the agricultural sector, as it believes that it can achieve higher margins in that sector and that construction of an SCM plant would take approximately two years.
The Company utilizes the services of US Mine Corporation (“USMC”), a Nevada corporation and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the development and contract mining of industrial minerals. John Bremer, a director, is also an officer, director, and partial owner of USMC. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by US Mine, LLC. John Bremer, a director, is also a partial owner of US Mine, LLC.
On
June 18, 2025, the Company entered into a master agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with USMC, US Copper LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (“US Copper LLC”), and US Mine LLC, a California limited liability company (“US Mine LLC” and,
together with USMC and US Copper LLC, the “US Mine Entities”), pursuant to which mining rights US Mine LLC granted to us
to purchase up to

nOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Concurrently
with the execution of the Master Agreement, A. Scott Dockter, our Chief Executive Officer, and Teresa Dockter, Mr. Dockter’s spouse,
entered into a master agreement (the “Dockter Master Agreement”) with the US Mine Entities, pursuant to which: Mr. Dockter
agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock from USMC for an aggregate purchase price of $
The US Mine Entities also repurchased from Mr. Dockter all of the equity interests Mr. Dockter held in the US Mine Entities, Mr. Dockter and Ms. Dockter each resigned from all positions they held with the US Mine Entities and at any of their subsidiaries, and Mr. Dockter and Ms. Dockter provided the US Mine Entities with a general release and agreed to indemnify the US Mine Entities and certain related parties against third party claims.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of August
31, 2025, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of $
The Company’s plan, through the continued promotion of its products to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover its anticipated expenses. The Company is currently exploring several other options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including bridge loans and issuances of equity securities or equity-linked securities to third parties. Any additional debt will require a consent from J.J. Astor. The Company will no longer be funded by infusions of cash from advances from USMC.
Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with bridge loans and equity and debt financing, will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2024, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The results of the nine months ended August 31, 2025 (unaudited), are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Purebase AG and Purebase AM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and equity-based transactions at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations may be affected.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation methods for fair value of options, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.
Revenue
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives revenues from the sale of products from its agricultural sector and construction sector. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of control to the customer.
| 9 |
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Practical Expedients
As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted practical expedients including:
| ● | Significant Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. | |
| ● | Unsatisfied and Partially Unsatisfied Performance Obligations – for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period. | |
| ● | Shipping and Handling Activities – the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation. | |
| ● | Right to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
There were
Accounts Receivable
The
Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability
of an account becomes unlikely, a credit loss is recorded for that doubtful account. As of August 31, 2025, the Company has determined
that
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years, except for SCM plants, which lives are estimated at thirty years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.
| Equipment | |||
| Autos and trucks | |||
| SCM plants |
Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and
accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. The
Company currently has $

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows
of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying
amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair
value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets.
Shipping and Handling
The
Company occasionally incurred shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. There were
Advertising and Marketing Costs
The
Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $
Fair Value Measurements
As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.
| Level 1: | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. |
| Level 2: | Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars. |
| Level 3: | Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. |
| 11 |
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute all of the Company’s debt and interest payable on the notes based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024. All outstanding options are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, outstanding options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For stock options issued to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.
Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options as noted above.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Leases
With the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The
Company leases its corporate offices. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company was a party to a two-year lease,
with USMC, a related party, for
In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases. See Note 7 – Leases for further discussion, including the impact in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Exploration Stage
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. As of August 31, 2025, the Company was not engaged in any mine exploration.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures and Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
The amendments in the Update require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specific information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity:
| 1 | Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities ((DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains an of the expense categories listed in (a)-(e). | |
| 2 | Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. | |
| 3 | Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. | |
| 4 | Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. |
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has determined that such disclosures will result in expanded notes to the financial statements. The Company will adopt ASU 2024-03 on or before November 30, 2027.
In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendment’s main provisions are rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and other disclosures.
For rate reconciliation, the amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold.
Public business entities are required to disclose a tabular reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, according to the following requirements:
| 1 | The following specific categories are required to be disclosed: |
| a | State and local income tax, net of federal income tax effect, | |
| b | Foreign tax effects, | |
| c | Effect of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period, | |
| d | Effect of cross-border tax laws, | |
| e | Tax credits, | |
| f | Changes in valuation allowances, | |
| g | Nontaxable or nondeductible items, | |
| h | Changes in unrecognized tax benefits. |
| 2 | Separate disclosure is required for any reconciling item listed below in which the effect of the reconciling item is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate: |
| a | If the reconciling item is within the effect of cross-border tax laws, tax credits, or nontaxable or nondeductible items categories, it is required to be disaggregated by nature,* | |
| b | If the reconciling item is within the foreign tax effects category, it is required to be disaggregated by jurisdiction (country) and by nature, except for reconciling items related to changes in unrecognized tax benefits discussed in (4), | |
| c | If the reconciling item does not fall within any of the categories listed in (1), it is required to be disaggregated by nature. |
| 14 |
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
| 3 | For the purpose of categorizing reconciling items, except for reconciling items related to changes in unrecognized tax benefits discussed in (4), the state and local income tax category should reflect income taxes imposed at the state or local level within the jurisdiction (country) of domicile, the foreign tax effects category should reflect income taxes imposed by foreign jurisdictions, and the remaining categories listed in (1) should reflect federal (national) income taxes imposed by the jurisdiction (country) of domicile. | |
| 4 | For the purpose of presenting reconciling items: |
| a | Reconciling items are required to be presented on a gross basis with two exceptions under which unrecognized tax benefits and the related tax positions and tax effects of certain cross-border tax laws and the related tax credits may be presented on a net basis, | |
| b | Reconciling items presented in the changes in unrecognized tax benefits category may be disclosed on an aggregate basis for all jurisdictions. |
For income taxes paid, the amendments require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the following information about income taxes paid:
| 1 | The amount of income taxes paid (net of funds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, | |
| 2 | The amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refund received). |
For other disclosures, the amendments require that all entities disclose the following information:
| 1 | Income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, | |
| 2 | Income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. |
The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

As used in this Quarterly Report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to PureBase Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PureBase AG”) and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“PureBase AM”).
Business Overview
We are an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States, through our two subsidiaries, Purebase AG, and Purebase AM, respectively. The Company has not yet commenced mining operations and relies on USMC for its mineral resources extracted from mineral sites owned by US Mine LLC.
We obtain certain raw clay materials from USMC through a materials extraction agreement with US Mine LLC. US Mine LLC owns the mining property which USMC leases. USMC pays US Mine LLC a royalty, for which the Company reimburses USMC.
Agricultural Sector
We develop specialized fertilizers, sun protectants, soil amendments and bio-stimulants for organic and non-organic sustainable agriculture. We have developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of leonardite, kaolin clay, laterite, and other natural minerals. These mineral and soil amendments are used to protect crops, plants and fruits from the sun and winter damage, to provide nutrients to plants, and to improve dormancy and soil ecology to help farmers increase the yields of their harvests. We are building a brand family under the parent trade name “Purebase,” consisting of its Purebase Shade Advantage WP product, a kaolin-clay based sun protectant for crops and Humic Advantage a humic acid product derived from leonardite.
| 28 |
Construction Sector
We had been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that we believed would help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials (“SCMs”). We were developing SCMs for the construction material markets, particularly the cement markets that we believed could potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, we believed there were significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction-materials sector.
We decided that we will no longer develop and pursue the SCM market. We have has decided to instead further develop and expand our presence in the agricultural sector, as we believe that we can achieve higher margins in that sector and that construction of an SCM plant would take approximately two years.
We utilize the services of USMC for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects, exploration drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production, site reclamation and product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by USMC. John Bremer, a director, is also an officer, director and, as of June 18, 2025, 33% owner of USMC.
Recent Developments
On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into a $53,000 bridge loan with J.J. Astor & Co. The note bears interest at 30% and matures on May 10, 2026. The loan is to be paid in forty weekly installments of $1,722.50 beginning on July 21, 2025.
On July 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) the Company, together with Dockter Farms, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Dockter Farms”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with J.J. Astor & Co., a Utah corporation (the “Lender”) for the aggregate principal amount of $650,000. $50,350 was used to pay the balance of the July 10, 2025 $53,000 bridge loan with J.J. Astor. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the loan for working capital and general corporate purposes. As consideration for entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company will issue 750,000 shares of its common stock to the Lender. If within 90 days, the market price of the Company’s common stock, is not greater than $0.50) per share, the Company will issue an additional 750,000 shares to the Lender. To induce the Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement, Mr. Scott Dockter, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, executed an Affidavit of Confession of Judgment in favor of the Lender. The secured promissory note evidencing the loan was issued with an original issue discount of $150,000, matures on May 5, 2026 and is payable in forty weekly installments beginning August 5, 2025, of which the first eight installments are $8,125 and the remaining thirty-two installments are $18,281. Upon the event of a default, the note becomes immediately due and payable at an increased interest rate of the sum of: (1) the then outstanding principal amount, multiplied by 120%, plus default interest at of 19% per annum, compounded daily. While the note remains outstanding, the Company may not, without the Lender’s written consent: (i) amend or modify the terms of any existing indebtedness, (ii) incur additional indebtedness, (iii) grant liens on any of its assets, or (iv) enter into transactions with any affiliates. The note ranks senior to all other indebtedness of the Company.
The Company’s obligations under the note are secured by a senior first lien security interest in all of the assets and properties of the Company, as well as all of the equity interests in Dockter Farms, pursuant to a pledge and security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into by the Company, Dockter Farms, and the Lender. In addition, Dockter Farms granted the Lender a deed of trust on certain real property pursuant to a Second Deed of Trust.
On September 24, 2025, the Company entered into a $123,050 bridge loan with Vanquish Funding Group, Inc. The note bears interest at 12% during the ten-month term of the loan. The loan is to be paid in five monthly installments with $68,908 due March 30, 2026, and $17,227 due each on April 30, 2026, May 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and July 30, 2026.

Revenues
Revenue decreased by $117,500, or 58%, for the three months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024. This decrease was due to cooler weather in the three months ended August 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by $26,988, or 57%, for the three months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024, as a result of a decrease in products sold in the three months ended May 31, 2024.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by $31,793, or 8%, for the three months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative wages and related expenses of $59,230, an increase in stock-based compensation of $15,900, and an increase in selling expenses of $15,785, offset by a decrease in professional services of $28,932, and a decrease in various general and administrative expenses of $30,190 due primarily to a $45,444 decrease in repairs for the calciner pilot plant for the three months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $90,352 for the three months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024. The increase was due to interest on the J.J. Astor note payable in 2025.
Interest Expense, Related Parties
Interest expense decreased by $8,796 for the three months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024, primarily due to the June 16, 2025 conversion to common stock of borrowings on the line of credit, on the increased advances on a note payable, and on the additional other advances from USMC.

Revenues
Revenue decreased by $24,601 or 8%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2024. This decrease was due to cooler weather in the three months ended August 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by $7,320, or 9%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as a result of a decrease in products sold in the nine months ended August 31, 2025.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by $78,426, or 6%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative wages and related expenses of $94,335, an increase in stock-based compensation of $47,586, and an increase in selling expenses of $17,349, offset by a decrease in professional services of $59,454 and a decrease in various general and administrative expenses of $21,390 primarily due to a $45,444 decrease in repairs for the calciner pilot plant for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2024.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $90,352 for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2024. The increase was due to interest on the J.J. Astor note payable in 2025.
Interest Expense, Related Parties
Interest expense increased by $14,199, or 20%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2024, primarily due to increased borrowings on the line of credit, increased advances on a note payable, and additional other advances from USMC, partially offset by the conversion of five convertible promissory notes to common stock in January 2024 and the June 16, 2025 conversion to common stock of borrowings on the line of credit, on the increased advances on a note payable, and on the additional other advances from USMC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2025, we had cash on hand of $97,921 and a working capital deficiency of $749,973, as compared to cash on hand of $28,100 and a working capital deficiency of $1,093,058 as of November 30, 2024. The decrease in working capital deficiency of $343,085 is a result of the conversion to common stock of $1,000,000 of the line of credit with USMC, the conversion to common stock of $416,449 of advances from USMC, an increase in prepaid expenses of $25,176, an increase in cash of $69,821, an increase in accounts receivable of $9,828, a decrease in interest payable related party of $27,912, and a decrease in convertible notes payable related parties of $2,500, offset by an increase in advances from USMC of $515,449, an increase in the line of credit with USMC of $101,551, an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $137,115, a decrease in net right of use asset/liability of $152, an increase in contingent stock issuance liability of $31,500, and an increase in a note payable from J.J. Astor of $422,834.
The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2025 and 2026, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded these losses with cash advances from USMC and the sale of equity and convertible notes. The Company will no longer be funded by infusions of cash from advances from USMC.
Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with bridge loans and equity and debt financing, will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
| 31 |
Going Concern
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from inception through August 31, 2025 of $65,517,481, negative cash flows from operating activities of $947,074 for the nine months ended August 31, 2025 and a working capital deficiency of $749,973 as of August 31, 2025. During the nine months ended August 31, 2025, the Company received net cash proceeds of $617,000 from USMC through a line of credit and additional advances and cash proceeds, net of payments, of $485,395 from a third-party bridge loan. The Company has received net cash proceeds of $100,000 on September 29, 2025 from a third-party bridge loan. If the Company does not generate additional revenue and obtain bridge loans or equity and debt financing from third parties, it will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There currently are no other arrangements or agreements for financing, and there can be no assurances that any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Procedures
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
| 33 |
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by Sarbanes-Oxley is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company has determined that its internal control over financial reporting was ineffective due to the following material weaknesses:
| ● | Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and |
| ● | Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner. |
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness
Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:
| ● | Continue to establish appropriate segregation of duties to achieve internal control objectives; and |
| ● | Continue to develop risk assessment policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures. |
Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
