NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Business Overview

PureBase Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2010, to create a web-based service that would offer boaters an easy, convenient, fun, easy to use, online resource to help them plan and organize their boating trips. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization consummated on December 23, 2014, the company changed its business focus to an exploration, mining and product marketing company which will focus on identifying and developing advanced stage natural resource projects which show potential to achieve full production. Effective January 12, 2015, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to PureBase Corporation. PureBase Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, (“PureBase AG”) and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada corporation, (“USAM”) (collectively the “Company”) is in the business of pursuing interests in the field of industrial minerals and natural resources. The Company is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration, development, mining and full-scale exploitation of its industrial and natural mineral properties in the United States. The Company is a diversified, industrial mineral and natural resource company working to provide solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets. On the agricultural side, the Company’s business is to develop agricultural specialized fertilizers, minerals and bio-stimulants for organic and sustainable agriculture. On the construction side, the Company is focused on developing construction sector-related products such as cements. The Company intends to provide for distribution of its products into each industry related market.

The Company is headquartered in Ione, California.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including its ability to secure additional funding to pursue its operations.

Going Concern

The Company incurred a net loss of $565,905 for the six months ended May 31, 2019 and generated negative cash flows from operations. In addition, the Company has generated insignificant revenue in conjunction with its business plan. In order to support its operations, the Company will require additional infusions of cash from the sale of equity instruments or the issuance of debt instruments, or the commencement of profitable revenue generating activities. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company’s ability to fund its operations, take advantage of potential acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance its properties in the future or respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. Such limitations could require the Company to curtail, suspend or discontinue parts of its business plan.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial information as of and for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 has been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring entries), which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of May 31, 2019 and the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 and cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018. Operating results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending November 30, 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2018 filed on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2019.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PureBase Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary PureBase AG. PureBase AG consists of PureBase Agricultural, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary UASM. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassification had no effect on the previously recorded income.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company provides for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As of May 31, 2019, and November 30, 2018, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $11,137 and $11,137, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 and its related amendments regarding Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (ASC Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard provides principles for recognizing revenue for transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, effective December 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method. This approach was applied to contracts that were in process as of December 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s reported revenue or contracts in process at December 1, 2018. The reported results for the fiscal year 2019 reflect the application of ASC Topic 606, while the reported results for fiscal year 2018 are not adjusted and continue to be reported under ASC Topic 605. The Company now applies the five-step approach outlined in revenue standard ASC Topic 606:

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance with ASC 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding warrants and stock options. The outstanding warrants and stock options have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because of the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

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 will be affected.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight line depreciation methods over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Costs of maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the associated assets are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. When there is a disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) but, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At May 31, 2019, no accounts exceeded FDIC limits.

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 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.

Mineral Rights

Acquisition costs of mineral rights are capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study. Expenditures relating to exploration activities are expensed as incurred and expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which subsequent expenditures relating to development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.

Where proven and probable reserves have been established, the project’s capitalized expenditures are depleted over proven and probable reserves upon commencement of production using the units-of-production method. Where proven and probable reserves have not been established, such capitalized expenditures are depleted over the estimated production life upon commencement of extraction using the straight-line method.

The carrying values of the mineral rights are assessed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis or when indicators of impairment exist. Should management determine that these carrying values cannot be recovered, the unrecoverable amounts are written off against earnings.

Shipping and Handling

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. The net amounts incurred were $0 and $579 included in general administrative expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2019 and May 31, 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, payroll liabilities and advances approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximate fair value based on prevailing interest rates. 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.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Nonfinancial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s balance sheets. U.S. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, U.S. GAAP requires the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in income in the period the remeasurement occurred.

The Company did not have any Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360, “Property and Equipment”. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the expected future undiscounted net cash flows generated by the asset. If we determine that the asset may not be recoverable, or if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we recognize an impairment charge to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the asset’s carrying amount. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 and May 31, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard will be effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning December 1, 2019 and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on the Company’s financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

During the six months ended May 31, 2019, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consists of the following:

Total depreciation expense for the three- and six-months May 31, 2019 and 2018 was $579 and $3,590 and $1,158 and $7,180, respectively.

NOTE 4 – MINING RIGHTS

Placer Mining Claims Lassen County, CA

Placer Mining Claim Notices have been filed and recorded with the US Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) relating to 50 Placer mining claims identified as “USMC 1” thru “USMC 50” covering 1,145 acres of mining property located in Lassen County, California and known as the “Long Valley Pozzolan Deposit”. The Long Valley Pozzolan Deposit is a placer claims resource in which the Company holds non-patented mining rights to 1,145acres of contiguous placer claims within the boundaries of a known and qualified Pozzolan deposit. These claims were assigned to the Company by one of its founders at his original cost basis of $0. These claims require a payment of $30,000 per year to the BLM.

Federal Preference Rights Lease in Esmeralda County NV

This Preference Rights Lease is granted by the BLM covering approximately 2,500 acres of land located in the Mount Diablo Meridian area of Nevada. Contained in the leased property is the Chimney 1 Potassium/Sulfur Deposit which consists of 15.5 acres of land fully permitted for mining operation which is situated within the 2,500 acres held by the Company. All rights and obligations under the Preference Rights lease have been assigned to the Company by US Mine Corp., a related party. These rights are presented at their cost of $200,000. This lease requires a payment of $7,503 per year to the BLM.

Snow White Mine located in San Bernardino County, CA – Deposit

On November 28, 2014 US Mining and Minerals Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement in which US Mining and Minerals Corp. agreed to sell its fee simple property interest and certain mining claims to US Mine Corp., a related party. In contemplation of the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, on December 1, 2014, US Mine Corp. (“USMC”), a related party, assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to the Company pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Assignment, the Company assumed the purchaser position under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement involves the sale of approximately 280 acres of mining property containing 5 placer mining claims known as the Snow White Mine located near Barstow, California in San Bernardino County. The property is covered by a Conditional Use Permit allowing the mining of the property and a Plan of Operation and Reclamation Plan has been approved by San Bernardino County and the US Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). An initial deposit of $50,000 was paid to escrow, and the agreement required the payment of an additional $600,000 at the end of the escrow period. There was a delay in the seller receiving a clear title to the property and a fully permitted project, both of which were conditions to closing. In light of the foregoing, and the payment of another $25,000, the parties agreed to extend the closing. Due to delays in the Company securing the necessary funding to close the purchase of the Snow White Mine property, John Bremer, a shareholder and a director of the Company, paid $575,000 to acquire the property on or about October 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer will transfer title to the Company when the Company pays Mr. Bremer $575,000 plus expenses. The mining claims require a minimum royalty payment of $3,500 per year.

During the year ended November 30, 2017, USMC, agreed to offset the $75,000 deposit against money owed to USMC. As a result, the purchase price is currently back to $650,000 plus expenses. Mr. Bremer has not restricted the Company from continuing its exploration on the property or access to property in any way.

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

The Company assumed a $1,000,000 promissory note on November 24, 2014 in connection with the acquisition of USAM by the Company. The note bears simple interest at an annual rate of 5% and the principal and accrued interest were payable on May 1, 2016. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, all unpaid principal, accrued interest and other amounts owing are immediately due, payable and collectible by the lender pursuant to applicable law. The balance of the note was $1,000,000 at May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018. The note is in default however, the Company continues to have discussions with holder of the note to extend the note under the same terms and conditions but no assurances can be provided that the holder of the note will agree to such terms.

In February 26, 2016, Bayshore Capital, a major shareholder, advanced $25,000 to the Company for working capital at 6% per annum. The note was payable August 26, 2016, or when the Company closes its bridge financing, whichever occurs first. As of May 31, 2019, this note had not been repaid and is currently in default.

On August 31, 2017, the Company issued a note in the amount of $197,096 to Arthur Scott Dockter, President, CEO and a Director of the Company, to consolidate the total amounts due to and assumed by Mr. Dockter. The note to Mr. Dockter bears interest at 6% and is due upon demand. The balance on the note was $177,096 as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES

Office and Rental Property Leases

The Company is using office space provided by USMC, a related party that is owned by the Company’s Majority Shareholders and Directors A. Scott Dockter and John Bremer. There is currently no lease between the two Companies for its use of the office space provided.

Mineral Properties

Our mineral rights require various annual lease payments (See Note 4).

Legal Matters

On September 21, 2016 the employment agreement with the Company’s President, David Vickers, was terminated by the Company. Subsequent to his departure, Mr. Vickers retained legal counsel and is now alleging claims of age discrimination, fraud in the inducement, violation of California Labor Code §970 and breach of contract against the Company. On April 14, 2017 the Company was served by Mr. Vickers’ attorney with a demand for arbitration of the above referenced claims. The arbitration proceeding is being handled by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS) and is currently in the discovery phase. On June 5, 2018 the parties participated in a voluntary mediation however the parties were unable to reach a resolution. The arbitration proceeding is currently scheduled for August, 2019. Mr. Vickers has stated a claim of approximately $850,000. The Company plans to vigorously defend these claims in the arbitration proceeding.

On August 30, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc. (“Tessenderlo”) alleging trademark infringement relating to the plaintiff’s trademark PURSHADE and the Company’s product Purebase Shade Advantage. The Company filed its answer on September 21, 2018, denying the allegations set forth in the complaint. A settlement conference was held on June 11, 2019. The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Tessenderlo effective July 8, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement the Company will make various changes to the packaging of its Purebase Shade Advantage products relating to the visual representation of the product’s name, amongst other requirements for dissemination of information with its products. Each party fully waives, releases, acquits, and discharges the other party any and all existing claims, liens, demands, causes of action, damages and liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or claimed, that each party has or may have against the other relating to the matters that were raised or could have been raised in litigation. There were no monetary damages as part of the Settlement Agreement. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the case was dismissed on July 9, 2019. As such, there is no accrual considered to be necessary as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

On January 11, 2019 the Company filed a Complaint in the Nevada District Court for Washoe County (Case # CV19-00097) against Agregen International Corp and Robert Hurtado. The Complaint alleges misuse of proprietary and confidential information acquired by Mr. Hurtado while employed by the Company as VP of Agricultural Research and Development. Mr. Hurtado was terminated in March, 2018 and since that time the Company alleges he formed and has conspired with Agregen Intl. Corp to improperly use proprietary and confidential information to compete with the Company which constitute breaches of the non-compete and confidentiality provisions of his employment agreement with the Company. The Company is seeking monetary damages. On March 14, 2019 Agregen and Mr. Hurtado filed their Answer. An Early Case Conference was held on April 26, 2019. The trial is currently scheduled to be held in July 2020.

On March 29, 2019, the Company was served with a Complaint filed by Superior Soils Supplements LLC (“Superior Soils”) relating to 64 truckloads of soil amendments delivered to a customer by the Company on behalf of Superior Soils. The soil amendments were not labeled correctly requiring the entire shipment of product to be returned to the Company. The complaint alleges breach of contract, misrepresentations, fraudulent concealment and unfair competition. The complaint makes a demand for approximately $300,000 and threatens litigation if such amount is not paid. The Company filed its answer on May 6, 2019, denying responsibility for the mis-labelling and denying any liability for damages therefrom. The Company intends to vigorously defend this legal action. As such, there is no accrual considered to be necessary as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

Contractual Matters

On November 1, 2013, we entered into an agreement with USMC, a related party, in which USMC performs services relating to various technical evaluations and mine development services for the Company with regard to the various mining properties/rights owned by the Company. Terms of services and compensation will be determined for each project undertaken by USMC.

On October 12, 2018 the Company’s board of directors approved a material supply agreement with USMC, a related party, pursuant to which USMC will provide designated natural resources to the Company at predetermined prices.

Snow White Mine

The Company will need to pay Mr. Bremer, a director of both USMC and the Company, the sum of $650,000 plus expenses, in order to obtain title to the Snow White Mine property. For a detailed explanation of the arrangement, see Note 4.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

On November 10, 2017 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2017 PureBase Corporation Stock Option Plan which is intended to be a qualified stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). The Board allocated up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued pursuant to options granted under the Option Plan. The Option Plan was subsequently approved by shareholders on September 28, 2018. As of May 31, 2019, 50,000 options had been granted under the Option Plan.

The Company has also granted 500,000 options pursuant to employment contracts entered into by the Company and the respective employee prior to the adoption of the Option Plan.

There were no stock options granted during the six months ended May 31, 2019 or May 31, 2018.

Employee stock-based options compensation expenses for the three-month period ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 included in general and administrative expense totaled $9,172 and $51,019, respectively. Employee stock-based options compensation expenses for the six-month period ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 included in general and administrative expense totaled $60,451 and $100,928, respectively.

Compensation based stock option activity for qualified and unqualified stock options are summarized as follows:

The following table summarizes information about options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and exercisable at May 31, 2019:

The compensation expense attributed to the issuance of the options is recognized as they are vested.

Total compensation expense related to the options was $9,172 and $51,019 and $60,451 and $100,928 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of May 31, 2019, there was future compensation cost of $403 related to non-vested stock options with a recognition period of four months.

Stock Payable

On October 23, 2018, the Company entered into an Investment Banking Engagement Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), with Newbridge Securities Corporation (“Newbridge”). As per the Investment Agreement, Newbridge will provide investment banking and corporate advisory services to the Company.

Results of Operations

We have included a discussion and analysis of the Company’s current consolidated operations for the quarter ending May 31, 2019 as compared to the Company’s previous consolidated operations for the quarter ending May 31, 2018 and the six-month period ending May 31, 2019 and 2018.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended May 31, 2019 to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2018

A comparison of the Company’s operating results for the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows:

Revenues

Revenue decreased by $41,512, or 23%, for the three months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2018, primarily as a result of a major customer delaying its order of certain products due to the wet season running longer than usual.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by $74,464, or 17%, for the three months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $60,145, or 16%, for the three months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2018, as a result of salaries decreasing significantly due to a decrease in employees from five in May 2018 to three at May 2019, a reduction in professional fees due to the Company not incurring a significant amount of legal fees which occurred in the second quarter of 2018 relating to a proposed spin-off of Purebase AG, and a reduction in travel expenses resulting from the decrease in employees.

Product fulfillment and exploration and mining expenses decreased by $14,319, or 32%, for the three months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2018, primarily as a result of a decrease in revenues due to a major customer delaying its order of certain products due to the wet season running longer than usual.

Net Loss

The Company incurred a net loss of $228,014 for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2019, compared to the Company’s net loss of $260,965 for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2018. While revenues declined somewhat for the quarter, the 17% decrease in operating expenses resulted in a smaller net loss for the quarter ended May 31, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2018.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended May 31, 2019 to the Six Months Ended May 31, 2018

A comparison of the Company’s operating results for the six months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows:

Revenues

Revenue decreased by $118,753, or 39%, for the six months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2018, as a result of a major customer delaying their order of certain products due to the wet season running longer than usual during the three months ended May 31, 2019.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by $306,169, or 30%, for the six months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and product fulfillment, exploration and mining expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $231,350, or 27%, for the six months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2018, as a result of the Company establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts during the six months ended May 31, 2018, a decrease in salaries due to employees going from five at May 2018 and 3 at May 2019, and a decrease in stock-based compensation during the six months ended May 31, 2019 as compared to May 31, 2018.

Product fulfillment, exploration and mining expenses decreased by $74,819, or 46%, for the six months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2018, as a result of a major customer delaying their order of certain products due to the wet season running longer than usual.

Interest expense decreased by $5,621, or 15%, for the six months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2018, as a result of reduced interest paid on payroll taxes due to a decrease in employees.

Net Loss

The Company incurred a net loss of $565,905 for the six months ended May 31, 2019, compared to the Company’s net loss of $758,942 for the same period ended May 31, 2018, a decrease of almost 25.5%. While revenues declined for the six-month period ended May 31, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018, the 30% decrease in operating expenses resulted in a smaller net loss for the six months ended May 31, 2019, as compared to the same period of 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2019, we had cash on hand of $1,476 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $5,701,000, as compared to cash on hand of $8,281 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $5,197,000 as of November 31, 2018. The increase in working capital deficiency is mainly due to an increase in due to affiliates of approximately $500,000 during the six months ended May 31, 2019.

Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from inception through the period ended May 31, 2019, of approximately $8.7 million, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. During the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $413,000 from USMC, an affiliated entity. Presently the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its debt obligations in the twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance the capital requirements of the Company, as well as general and administrative expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with its fund-raising initiatives.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving significant commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may need to curtail or cease operations completely.

Working Capital Deficiency

Our working capital deficiency as of May 31, 2019, in comparison to our working capital deficiency as of November 30, 2018, can be summarized as follows:

The increase in current assets is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $136,500. A majority of current liabilities remained consistent during the six-month period ending May 31, 2019, however, due to affiliates increased approximately $500,000. The increase is a result of approximately $413,000 in additional cash advances from USMC, an affiliated entity, and approximately $87,000 in expenses paid by USMC on behalf of the Company.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $419,930 for the six months ended May 31, 2019. This was primarily due to the net loss of $565,905 and an increase in accounts receivable of $136,500, which was partially offset by an increase in amounts due to affiliates and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $81,611 and $45,134, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities was $602,508 for the six months ended May 31, 2018. This was primarily due to the net loss of $758,942, which was partially offset by an increase in amounts due to affiliates of $315,994 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $244,526.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended May 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $413,125, which represented cash advanced to the Company by USMC, an affiliated entity.

For the six months ended May 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $604,000, which represented cash advanced to the Company by USMC, an affiliated entity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Future Financing

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business. We expect further exploration and development of our current or future projects and the sale of our agricultural products to continue generating sales revenues, but we do not expect revenues from these activities in the near term to cover our entire current operating expenses which we expect to increase as we implement our business plans. We do not believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period. We have had negative cash flow from operating activities as we have not yet begun to generate sufficient and consistent revenues to cover our operating expenses. Until we are able to establish a sufficient revenue stream from operations our ability to meet our current financial liabilities and commitments will be primarily dependent upon proceeds from outside capital sources including US Mine Corporation which is an affiliated entity. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate. Even if we are able to secure outside financing, it may not be available in the amounts or times when we require or on terms we find acceptable. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, such outside financing would likely take the form of bank loans, private placements of debt, advances from affiliates or equity securities or some combination of these. The issuance of additional equity securities would dilute the stock ownership of current investors while incurring loans, lines of credit or long-term debt by the Company would increase its cash flow requirements and possible loss of valuable assets if such obligations were not repaid in accordance with their terms.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies and Procedures

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included herein for the quarter ended May 31, 2019, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Our recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements herein for the quarter ended May 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable. 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-15(e) 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 due to the material weakness(es) in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2019 based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2019 was not effective.

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), 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 financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small number of staff:

●	Lack of formal policies and procedures;
●	Lack of an independent financial expert;
●	Lack of segregation of duties

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

During the quarter ended May 31, 2019, we continued to execute upon our planned remediation actions which are all intended to strengthen our overall control environment.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and 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

On May 24, 2019 the Company’s president, Scott Dockter, assumed the additional duties as the Company’s CFO. This has caused a consolidation of duties over the Company’s accounting and reporting functions which were previously performed exclusively by the Company’s CFO. This consolidation of CEO/CFO duties could have an impact on the Company’s internal controls. To address this issue the Company hired an outside financial services firm to assist in handling the financial bookkeeping for the Company’s day-to-day operations and the Company’s SEC financial reporting obligations. Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 21, 2016 the employment agreement with the Company’s President, David Vickers, was terminated by the Company. Subsequent to his departure, Mr. Vickers retained legal counsel and is now alleging claims of age discrimination, fraud in the inducement, violation of California Labor Code §970 and breach of contract against the Company. On April 14, 2017 the Company was served by Mr. Vickers’ attorney with a demand for arbitration of the above referenced claims. The arbitration proceeding is being handled by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS) and is currently in the discovery phase. On June 5, 2018 the parties participated in a voluntary mediation however the parties were unable to reach a resolution. The arbitration proceeding is currently scheduled for August, 2019. Mr. Vickers has stated a claim of approximately $850,000. The Company plans to vigorously defend these claims in the arbitration proceeding.

On August 30, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc. (“Tessenderlo”) alleging trademark infringement relating to the plaintiff’s trademark PURSHADE and the Company’s product Purebase Shade Advantage. The Company filed its answer on September 21, 2018, denying the allegations set forth in the complaint. A settlement conference was held on June 11, 2019. The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Tessenderlo effective July 8, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement the Company will make various changes to the packaging of its Purebase Shade Advantage products relating to the visual representation of the product’s name, amongst other requirements for dissemination of information with its products. Each party fully waives, releases, acquits, and discharges the other party any and all existing claims, liens, demands, causes of action, damages and liabilities, whether known or unknown, suspected or claimed, that each party has or may have against the other relating to the matters that were raised or could have been raised in litigation. There were no monetary damages as part of the Settlement Agreement. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the case was dismissed on July 9, 2019. As such, there is no accrual considered to be necessary as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

On January 11, 2019 the Company filed a Complaint in the Nevada District Court for Washoe County (Case # CV19-00097) against Agregen International Corp and Robert Hurtado. The Complaint alleges misuse of proprietary and confidential information acquired by Mr. Hurtado while employed by the Company as VP of Agricultural Research and Development. Mr. Hurtado was terminated in March, 2018 and since that time the Company alleges he formed and has conspired with Agregen Intl. Corp to improperly use proprietary and confidential information to compete with the Company which constitute breaches of the non-compete and confidentiality provisions of his employment agreement with the Company. The Company is seeking monetary damages. On March 14, 2019 Agregen and Mr. Hurtado filed their Answer. An Early Case Conference was held on April 26, 2019 and a pre-trial conference was held on July 10, 2019. The trial is currently scheduled to be held in July, 2020.

On March 29, 2019, the Company was served with a Complaint filed by Superior Soils Supplements LLC (“Superior Soils”) relating to 64 truckloads of soil amendments delivered to a customer by the Company on behalf of Superior Soils. The soil amendments were not labeled correctly requiring the entire shipment of product to be returned to the Company. The complaint alleges breach of contract, misrepresentations, fraudulent concealment and unfair competition. The complaint makes a demand for approximately $300,000 and threatens litigation if such amount is not paid. The Company filed its answer on May 6, 2019, denying responsibility for the mis-labelling and denying any liability for damages therefrom. The Company intends to vigorously defend this legal action. As such, there is no accrual considered to be necessary as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
