NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
and Description of Business
Atlas
Lithium Corporation (together with its subsidiaries “Atlas Lithium.” the “Company”, “the Registrant”,
“we”, “us”, or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December 15, 2011.
The Company changed its management and business on December 18, 2012, to focus on mineral exploration in Brazil.
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in United States dollars. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; its 99.99 %
owned subsidiary, Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda. (“Atlas Brasil”), which includes the accounts of Atlas Brasil’s 99.99 %
owned subsidiary, Hercules Resources Corporation (“HRC”), which includes the accounts of HRC’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Hercules Brasil Comercio e Transportes Ltda. (“Hercules Brasil”); its 45.11 %
equity interest in Apollo Resources Corporation (“Apollo Resources”) and its subsidiaries Mineração
Apollo, Ltda., Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“MDB”) and RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. (“RST”);
and its 27.42 %
equity interest in Jupiter Gold Corporation (“Jupiter Gold”), which includes the accounts of Jupiter Gold’s
subsidiary, Mineração Jupiter Ltda. The Company has concluded that Apollo Resources, Jupiter Gold and their
subsidiaries are variable interest entities (“VIE”) in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance. As
such, the accounts and results of Apollo Resources, Jupiter Gold and their subsidiaries have been included in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not
believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position
or results of operations.

Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of mining rights which are not amortized as the mining rights are perpetual. The carrying value of these mineral rights
as of September 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022 was $ 5,911,516 and $ 4,971,267 , respectively.
The Company previously reported it was acquiring five
mineral rights totaling 1,090.88 hectares pursuant to a mineral rights purchase agreement entered into on January 19, 2023 (the “Acquisition
Agreement”). After a period of preliminary assessment, the Company and the counterparty to the agreement agreed to revise
the terms of the acquisition, following which the Company ultimately consummated the acquisition of only one mineral right totaling 45.77
hectares. The mineral right is located in the municipalities of Araçuaí and Itinga, in a region known as “Lithium
Valley” in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The Company’s obligations under the Acquisition Agreement as revised are:
●
Payment of $ 400,000 , which payment took place on January 19, 2023, and
●
Issuance of $ 750,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock of the Company which took place on February 1, 2023;

3 – DEFERRED CONSIDERATION FROM ROYALTIES SOLD
On
May 2, 2023, the Company and Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda. (the “Company Subsidiary”), entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lithium Royalty Corp., a Canadian company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“LRC”).
The transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement closed simultaneously on May 2, 2023, whereby the Company Subsidiary sold to
LRC in consideration for $ 20,000,000 in cash, a royalty interest equaling 3 % of the gross revenue (the “Royalty”) to be received
by the Company Subsidiary from the sale of products from certain 19 mineral rights and properties that are located in Brazil and held
by the Company Subsidiary.
On
the same day, the Company Subsidiary and LRC entered into a Gross Revenue Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) pursuant
to which the Company Subsidiary granted LRC the Royalty and undertook to calculate and make royalty payment on a quarterly basis commencing
from the first receipt of the sales proceeds with respect to the products from the Property. The Royalty Agreement contains other customary
terms, including but not limited to, the scope of the gross revenue, the Company Subsidiary’s right to determine operations, and
LRC’s information and audit rights. Under the Royalty Agreement, the Company Subsidiary also granted LRC an option to purchase
additional royalty interest with respect to certain additional Brazilian mineral rights and properties on the same terms and conditions
as the Royalty, at a total purchase price of $ 5,000,000 .
NOTE
4 – OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES
Other
noncurrent liabilities are comprised solely of social contributions and other employee-related costs at our operating subsidiaries
located in Brazil. The balance of these employee related costs as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, amounted to $ 56,630
and $ 78,964 ,
respectively.
NOTE
5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Authorized
Stock and Amendments
On
July 18, 2022, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) adopted resolutions
to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-750 without
affecting the number of shares of authorized common stock (the “Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split”). The holder of
the majority voting power of our voting stock (the “Majority Stockholder”) approved the Originally Intended Reverse Stock
Split by written consent on July 18, 2022, in lieu of a meeting of stockholders as permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute (“NRS”)
Section 78.320(2) and the company’s bylaws, as then amended (the “Bylaws”). For additional information on the Originally
Intended Reverse Stock Split, refer to the Definitive Information Statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) on July 29, 2022 (the “2022 Information Statement”) and
the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on December 22, 2022, both available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
On
December 20, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Nevada (“SOS”) that was intended to effect the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split (the “Original Articles Amendment”).
In April 2023, the Board of Directors determined (i) that the Original Articles Amendment inaccurately stated that the Originally Intended
Reverse Stock Split was obtained by a stockholder vote under NRS 78.390, while approval of the stockholders was required under NRS 78.2055,
with the holders of common stock voting as a separate class; and (ii) that the Original Articles Amendment was a nullity in that, under
Nevada law, filing an amendment to articles of incorporation is not necessary to effectuate a reverse stock split. As a result, the Board
of Directors determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to take corrective action to remedy the inaccuracy and to
file the documents that would have been necessary to effectuate a 1-for-750 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding common
stock with a corresponding split of the authorized common stock (the “Rectified Reverse Stock Split”) and then immediately
thereafter increase the number of shares of authorized common stock back to the number it was prior to the Rectified Reverse Stock Split
as of December 20, 2022.
Pursuant
to the action of the Company’s board of directors by unanimous written consent on April 21, 2023, the board of directors authorized
and approved (i) the Certificate of Correction to correct the Original Articles Amendment (the “Certificate of Correction”),
and (ii) the Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) including the Certificate of Validation
of the Certificate of Change (the “Change Validation Certificate”) in order to decrease the number of shares of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares of common stock and correspondingly decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock, each at a
ratio of 1-for-750 , retroactively effective as of December 20, 2022, without a vote of the stockholders. The board of directors also
directed that the Company file the Certificate of Correction with the SOS and thereafter file the Certificate of Change including the
Change Validation Certificate with the SOS. Pursuant to the NRS, no stockholder approval for this action was required. On May 25, 2023,
the Company filed the Certificate of Correction and Certificate of Change including the Change Validation Certificate with the SOS, as
also reported in Exhibits 3.2 and 3.1, respectively, to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on May 25, 2023.
To
carry out the original intent of the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split and in light of the correction, ratification and validation
of the Rectified Reverse Stock Split as described above, the Company’s Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder approved
on April 21, 2023 the Authorized Capital Increase Amendment to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 5,333,334
shares to 4,000,000,000 shares retroactively as of December 20, 2022, in accordance with the board’s and stockholders’ original
intent in effecting the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split.
Further,
the Board of Directors determined that it was advisable and in the best interests of the Company to amend and restate the Company’s
articles of incorporation (as amended to date, the “Current Articles”) to decrease the number of shares of authorized common
stock to two hundred million ( 200,000,000 ) and to amend certain other provisions in the Company’s Current Articles (the “Amended
and Restated Articles”). The Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder determined to decrease the number of shares of our
authorized common stock in order to reduce the number of shares available for issuance given that the large number of shares of common
stock authorized for issuance may have a perceived negative impact on any potential future efforts to attract additional financing due
to the dilutive effect of having such a large number of shares available for issuance. On April 21, 2023, the Company’s board of
directors and the Majority Stockholder approved the Amended and Restated Articles. Following the effectiveness of the Certificate of
Correction and the Certificate of Change including the Change Validation Certificate filed with the SOS, on May 25, 2023, the Company
filed the Amended and Restated Articles, as also reported in Exhibit 3.3 of the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on
May 26, 2023.

The
foregoing corporate actions were disclosed in the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”)
filed by the Company with the Commission on May 2, 2023. As also contemplated in the Information Statement, on May 25, 2023, the Company
also filed with the SOS a Certificate of Withdrawal of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Certificate of
Withdrawal of Designation of the Series C Convertible Preferred (collectively, the “Certificates of Withdrawal”). The filings
of the Certificates of Withdrawals were effective as of May 25, 2023.
As
of December 31, 2022, the Company had 4,000,000,000 common shares authorized with a par value of $ 0.001 per share. Pursuant to the vote
by a written consent dated April 21, 2023, of the Company’s Majority Stockholder, entitled to 51% of the voting power of the Company’s
issued and outstanding voting stock , the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock was decreased to 200,000,000
shares. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 200,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, with a par value of $ 0.001 per share.
Reverse
Stock Split
In
connection with the Originally Intended Reverse Stock Split, as corrected by the Rectified Reverse Stock Split, the Company effectuated
as of December 20, 2022 a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-750 (the “Reverse
Stock Split”). Following the Reverse Stock Split, each 750 shares of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock were automatically
converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. No fractional shares were
issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration was paid. Instead, we issued one whole share of the
post-split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
As rectified, the Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of shares of authorized stock. All share, equity award, and per share
amounts contained in these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split
for all prior periods presented.
Series
A Preferred Stock
On
December 18, 2012, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) to designate one share of a new series of preferred stock. The Certificate
of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provides that for so long as Series A Stock is issued
and outstanding, the holders of Series A Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock,
with the holders of Series A Stock being entitled to 51% of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number of shares
of Series A Stock then outstanding, and the holders of common stock are entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 49% of
the total votes based on their respective voting power . The one outstanding share of our Series A Stock has been held by our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, Mr. Marc Fogassa since December 18, 2012.
Series
D Preferred Stock
On
September 16, 2021, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Stock”) to designate 1,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock. The Certificate
of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D COD”) provides that for so
long as Series D Stock is issued and outstanding, the holders of Series D Stock shall have no voting power until such time as the Series
D Stock is converted into shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Series D COD one share of Series D Stock is convertible into 10,000
shares of common stock and may be converted at any time at the election of the holder. Giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split discussed
above, each share of Series D Stock is effectively convertible into 13 and 1/3 shares of common stock. Holders of the Series D Stock are
not entitled to any liquidation preference over the holders of common stock and are entitled to any dividends or distributions declared
by the Company on a pro rata basis.

of reporting in the consolidated financial statements. Our foreign subsidiaries translate their financial results from the local currency
into U.S. dollars in the following manner: (a) income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period; (b)
balance sheet asset and liability accounts are translated at end of period exchange rates; and (c) equity accounts are translated at
historical exchange rates. Translation in this manner affects the shareholders’ equity account referred to as the foreign currency
