9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer
and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information
required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Our
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and financial
officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Therefore,
even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025, utilizing
the criteria described in the “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission. The objective of this assessment was to determine whether our internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2025.
Based
on the management’s assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2025.
No
Attestation Report
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Since we are a smaller reporting company, our report is not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm
pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, this Annual Report contains only our report on internal controls.
(c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2025, which have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(d)
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The
effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of
judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the control system, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events,
and the inability to completely eliminate fraud and misconduct. As a result, there can be no assurance that our internal control over
financial reporting will detect all errors or fraud. However, our control systems have been designed to provide reasonable assurance
of achieving their objectives.

To
the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Atlas Lithium Corporation (ATLX)
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlas Lithium Corporation (ATLX) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity,
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “Consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audit, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit
matters.

ATLAS
LITHIUM CORPORATION
NOTES
TO THE 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.
Segment reporting
The Company has one reportable segment: mining. The
mining segment derives revenue in Brazil by mining, beneficiating and selling material mined from the Company’s several mining rights.
Currently the Company generates revenue solely from two operating projects: Quartzite and Iron Ore. The other mining projects are in exploration
phase.
The accounting policies of the mining segment are
the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the mining
segment is the Company’s chief executive officer. The CODM regularly reviews the revenue, significant expenses categories, including
exploration and evaluation costs, and general and administrative expenses.
The significant expenses
(including capitalized expenses) on which the CODM relies are those that are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Total segment assets as of December 31, 2025, were $ 87,674,737 , primarily consisting
of mineral rights, capitalized exploration and evaluation costs and equipment acquisitions for the Neves Project.
All of the Company’s revenue and long-lived assets are located in
Brazil. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had four customers accounting for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue
each (the four customers collectively represented 88% of revenue).
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, 2025 and 2024, the
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; (i) its 100 % owned subsidiary Atlas Lithium Limited and its subsidiary
Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda (“Atlas Brazil”); (ii) its 100 % owned subsidiary Athena Mineral Resources Corporation and its subsidiary
Athena Litio Ltda; (iii) its 100 % owned subsidiary Brazil Mineral Resources Corporation and its subsidiary Atlas Recursos Minerais; (iv)
its 28.06 % equity interest in Atlas Critical Minerals and its subsidiaries Mineração Apollo Ltda., Mineração
Duas Barras Ltda. (“MDB”), RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. (“RST”) and Mineração Jupiter Ltda. We have
concluded that Atlas Critical Minerals and its subsidiaries are variable interest entities (“VIE”) in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and guidance. As such, the accounts and results of Atlas Critical Minerals and their subsidiaries have been included
in our 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
We
have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and do not believe
that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results
of operations except as noted below:
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial
statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.
We will analyze the impacts of this update in the upcoming years, and we do not anticipate adopting the update early.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions
of Convertible Debt Instruments. FASB issued this update to improve the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion
guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt— Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The amendments in this update clarify the requirements
for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments
in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods
within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06.
Management does not expect this new guidance to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations and Consolidation — Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition
of a Variable Interest Entity. The amendments in this update require an entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily
by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business to consider the factors in paragraphs
805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this update are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company
will analyze the impacts of this update in the upcoming years and anticipate that it will not adopt the Update early.
In
May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The amendments in this update revise the Master Glossary definition
of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer. The revised definition incorporates conditions
(such as vesting conditions) that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases (or potential purchases)
of goods or services from the grantor (including over a specified period of time). The revised definition also incorporates performance
targets based on purchases made by other parties that purchase the grantor’s goods or services from the grantor’s customers.
The revised definition of the term performance condition cannot be applied by analogy to awards granted to employees and nonemployees
in exchange for goods or services to be used or consumed in the grantor’s own operations. The amendments in this update are effective
for all entities for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods) beginning after December
15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. Management does not expect this new guidance to have any impacts on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

I n
July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts
Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this update provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other
than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable
and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, as follows:
1.
Practical expedient. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses,
all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining
life of the asset.
2.
Accounting policy election. An entity other than a public business entity that elects the practical expedient is permitted
to make an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses.
The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting
periods within those annual reporting periods. Management does not expect this new guidance to have material impacts on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (Topic 606) — Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer
in a Revenue Contract. The amendments in this update exclude from derivative accounting nonexchange-traded contracts with underlying that
are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. However, this scope exception does not apply to
(1) variables based on a market rate, market price, or market index, (2) variables based on the price or performance of a financial asset
or financial liability of one of the parties to the contract, (3) contracts (or features) involving the issuer’s own equity that
are evaluated under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and (4) call
options and put options on debt instruments. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. Management
does not expect this new guidance to have material impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815) — Hedge Accounting Improvements. The amendments in this update clarify certain aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting
and to address several incremental hedge accounting issues arising from the global reference rate reform initiative. For public business
entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods
within those annual reporting periods. Management does not expect this new guidance to have material impacts on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic
270) — Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this update clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of
Topic 270. The amendments in this update are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027. The Company will analyze the impacts of this update in the upcoming years and anticipate that it will not adopt the update early.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
We
follow the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure.
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used
in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the
most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability
and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions
about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that
may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level
2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level
3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
As
of December 31, 2025, and 2024, our derivative liabilities were considered a level 2 liability. See Note 2 for a discussion regarding
the determination of the fair market value. We do not have any level 3 assets or liabilities.
Our
financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, taxes recoverable, prepaid and other current assets,
accounts payable, debt, related party notes and other payables, derivative instruments, other noncurrent liabilities and accrued expenses.
The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate
prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent that the
funds are not being held for investment purposes. Our bank accounts are deposited in FDIC insured institutions. Funds held in U.S. banks
are insured up to $ 250,000 and funds held in Brazilian banks are insured up to R$ 250,000 Brazilian Reais (translating into approximately
$ 45,455 as of December 31, 2025).
Trade
Receivable
Trade
receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms which are recorded at net realizable value. We establish an allowance
for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment
is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. We make judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing
credit evaluations and monitor current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition
of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a specific allowance will be required.
Recovery
of bad debt amounts previously written off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the period the payment is collected. If
our actual collection experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have
failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Inventories
We
value our inventories in accordance with ASC 330 - Inventory, which requires that inventories be valued at the lower of cost or market.
The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method.
Taxes
Recoverable
We
record a receivable for value added taxes recoverable from Brazilian authorities on goods and services purchased by our Brazilian subsidiaries.
These taxes are recoverable through various methods, including via cash refund or as a credit against payroll, supplier withholding taxes,
or other taxes payable.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. At the time
of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations as other gain or loss, net.
F- 9
Table of Contents
The
processing plant and other machinery are depreciated over an estimated useful life of ten years ; vehicles are depreciated over an estimated
life of five years ; and computers and other office equipment over an estimated useful life of five years .
Mineral
Properties and Mineral Rights
Exploration
costs such as drilling, development and related costs are either classified as exploration and charged to operations as incurred, or
capitalized, such as to assist with mine planning within a reserve area. Whether to capitalize an exploration cost or incur an expense
also depends on whether the drilling or development costs relate to an ore body that has been determined to be commercially mineable
and whether the expenditure relates to a probable future benefit to be generated singly or in combination with other assets. The basis
of the mineral interest is amortized on a units-of-production basis.
Proceeds
received on the sale of interests in exploration and evaluation assets are credited to the incurred exploration and evaluation expenditures,
with any excess included in operations. Write-downs due to impairment in value are charged to profit or loss.
Impairment
losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we did
not recognize any impairment losses related to mineral properties held.
Mineral
properties are amortized throughout the life of the property based on an units-of-production method.
Intangible
Assets
For
intangible assets purchased in a business combination, the estimated fair values of the assets received are used to establish their recorded
values. For intangible assets acquired in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair values of the assets transferred (or the estimated
fair values of the assets received, if more clearly evident) are used to establish their recorded values, unless the values of neither
the assets received nor the assets transferred are determinable within reasonable limits, in which case the assets received are measured
based on the carrying values of the assets transferred. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or
cost approach are used to measure fair value. Intangible assets consist of software acquired.
Impairment
of Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives
We
account for intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill
and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized but instead
be evaluated for impairment at least annually. On an annual basis, in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, management reviews intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events
or circumstances makes it more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If it is
determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the intangible
asset is further tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount to its estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow. Impairment,
if any, is measured as the amount by which an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Application
of impairment tests requires significant management judgment, including the determination of fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible
asset. Judgment applied when performing the qualitative analysis includes consideration of macroeconomic, industry and market conditions,
overall financial performance of the entity, composition, or strategy changes affecting the recoverability of asset groups. Judgments
applied when performing the quantitative analysis include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making
other assumptions. Changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for
each indefinite-lived intangible asset.
F- 10
Table of Contents
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
For
long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, we continually monitor events and changes
in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances
are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered
through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets,
we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of
are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Variable
Interest Entities
We
determine at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which we hold an investment or in which we have other variable interests
in is considered a variable interest entity. We consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE
is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic
performance of the VIE; and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially
be significant to the VIE. Periodically, we assess whether any changes in the interest or relationship with the entity affect the determination
of whether the entity is still a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. If we are not the primary beneficiary in a VIE,
we account for the investment under the equity method or cost method in accordance with the applicable GAAP.
We
have concluded that Atlas Critical Minerals and its subsidiaries are VIEs in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance;
and although the operations of Atlas Critical Minerals are independent of us, through governance rights, we have the power to direct
the activities that are most significant to Atlas Critical Minerals. Therefore, we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of Atlas
Critical Minerals.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the new revenue
standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps
are applied to achieve that core principle:
●
Step
1: Identify the contract with the customer
●
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
F- 11
Table of Contents
●
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
In
order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in
the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of
a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:
●
The
customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the
customer
●
The
entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract
(i.e., If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle
of goods or services is identified that is distinct).
The
transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods
or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.
When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:
●
Variable
consideration
●
Constraining
estimates of variable consideration
●
The
existence of a significant financing component in the contract
●
Non-cash
consideration
●
Consideration
payable to a customer
Variable
consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The
transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relatively standalone selling price basis.
The
transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in
time or over time as appropriate.

Costs
of Goods Sold
Included
within costs of goods sold are costs of production such as diesel fuel, labor, and transportation.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
measure and record stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with ASC Topic 718 for share-based payments related to stock options,
restricted stock, and performance-based awards granted to certain directors, employees and consultants. ASC 718 requires companies to
measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s
requisite service period. Under ASC 718, volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock or the expected volatility of
the stock of similar companies. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting
termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of grant.
The
fair value of stock options and performance awards without a market condition is estimated, at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards and stock options with a market condition is estimated, at the date of
grant, using the Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of restricted stock awards with a required lock-up period without a market
condition is estimated at the date of grant, using the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) model. The Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo Simulation,
and Hull-White Lattice valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards,
a risk-free interest rate, illiquidity discount, and dividend yield. In valuing our stock options, significant judgment is required in
determining the expected volatility of our common stock and the expected life that individuals will hold their stock options prior to
exercising. Expected volatility for stock options is based on the historical and implied volatility of our common stock while the volatility
for restricted stock awards with a market condition is based on the historical volatility of our own stock and the stock of companies
within our defined peer group.
Because
changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of our employee stock options, it is management’s
opinion that the valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of our stock options, restricted stock and performance-based
awards. Although the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awards is determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, that value
may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
Debt
In
accordance with ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”) we record our Convertible Notes at the aggregate principal amount, less
discount. We amortize the debt discount over the life of the convertible notes as an additional non-cash interest expense utilizing the
effective interest method. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.
Derivative
Instruments
We
evaluate our convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts
qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 480 of the FASB ASC and Topic 815 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative, if required to be
bifurcated, is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the Statement
of Operations as a component of other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked
to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
F- 13
Table of Contents
In
circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other
embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments
are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The
classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed
at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification
are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will
be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected
within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Foreign
Currency
With
the exception of Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda, our foreign subsidiaries use a local currency as the functional currency. Resulting translation
gains or losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses related to balances
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities
are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, our deferred tax assets
had a full valuation allowance.
Under
ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained
in a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely
of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
We have identified the United States Federal tax returns as our “major” tax jurisdiction.
On
December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), which instituted fundamental changes to
the taxation of multinational corporations, including a reduction the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21 % beginning in 2018.
The
TCJA also requires a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of the cumulative earnings of certain of our foreign
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017. To determine the amount of this transition tax, we must determine the amount of earnings generated
since inception by the relevant foreign subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings, in addition
to potentially other factors. We believe that no such tax will be due since our Brazilian subsidiaries have, when required, paid taxes
locally and that they have incurred a cumulative operating deficit since inception.
F- 14
Table of Contents
Basic
Income (Loss) Per Share
We
compute loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings
per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period.
Other
Comprehensive Income
Other
comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources, other than net income and including foreign currency translation adjustments.
Leases
Contractual
arrangements are assessed at inception to determine if they represent or contain a lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets related
to operating leases are separately reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Separate current and non-current liabilities for operating
and finance leases are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Operating
and finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future
lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, we utilize our incremental borrowing
rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available
at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over
a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made
and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued
rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend
or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

For
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we recorded depreciation expense of $ 28,877
and $ 4,381 , respectively recorded in general
and administrative expense. In December 2024, the Company wrote off $ 1.3
million relating to the premium paid for an option to acquire two mining rights. Results of geological studies did not achieve the
expected results and the Company decided not to exercise the option, derecognizing the amounts recorded for the premium paid. The
assets objective of this option do not have any relation with the Company’s Das Neves Project.
Exploration costs such as drilling, development and related costs are either classified as exploration and charged
to operations as incurred, or capitalized, such as to assist with mine planning within a reserve area. Whether to capitalize an exploration
cost or incur an expense also depends on whether the drilling or development costs relate to an ore body that has been determined to be
commercially mineable and whether the expenditure relates to a probable future benefit to be generated singly or in combination with other
assets. The basis of the mineral interest is amortized on a units-of-production basis.

Leases
For
the reporting period ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no financial leases meeting the criteria outlined in ASC 842 have been identified.
Operating
Leases
Right
of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the
future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, we utilize our incremental
borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease
incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when
the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate
the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The ROU and lease liabilities are primarily related to commercial
offices with third parties.
The
lease agreements have terms between 2 to 5 years, with the possibility of extending one of the contracts for an additional two years
and another for an additional 12 months . The liability was measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using interest
rates with a weighted average rate of 6.5 % which was determined to be our incremental borrowing rate. The continuity of the lease liabilities
is presented in the table below:

Derivative liability – embedded conversion feature on convertible debt
On
November 7, 2023, we issued convertible promissory notes to Martin Rowley and other investors as further disclosed in Note 2. In accordance
with FASB ASC 815, the conversion feature of the convertible debt was determined to be an embedded derivative. As such, it was bifurcated
from the host debt liability and was recognized as a derivative liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. The derivative
liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

On
December 31, 2024, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was determined to be $ 66,310 using a Black-Scholes collar option

the grant date for U.S. Treasury Bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the instrument being valued.
In
the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a $ 59,804 gain on changes in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated
statement of operations and comprehensive loss ($ 419,993 in the year ended December 31, 2024).
b)
Derivative liability – restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards
The
employment agreement of Igor Tkachenko, a Vice President of the Company, dated September 30, 2023, provides for the issuance of shares
of the Company’s common stock based on us achieving certain market capitalization milestones. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s
obligations under this employment agreement contemplates the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock in five
tranches, each representing 0.2 % of the Company’s common stock outstanding at the time of vesting, with an expiry date of December
31, 2026 and market vesting conditions as follows:
-
Tranche
3: when we achieve a $ 400 million market capitalization
-
Tranche
4: when we achieve a $ 500 million market capitalization
-
Tranche
5: when we achieve a $ 600 million market capitalization
-
Tranche
6: when we achieve a $ 700 million market capitalization
-
Tranche
7: when we achieve a $ 1.0 billion market capitalization
In
accordance with FASB ASC 815, these RSU awards were classified as a liability, measured at fair value through profit or loss, and compensation
expense is recognized over the expected term.
F- 18
Table of Contents
As
of September 30, 2023, the grant date fair value of these awards was $ 2,517,300 , as determined a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation method
according to the assumptions disclosed in Note 5. In the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $ 513,757 in stock-based compensation
expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, met the market conditions for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2, and
issued 40,533 shares of common stock to the executive officer.
As
at December 31, 2025, Tranche 3, Tranche 4, Tranche 5, Tranche 6 and Tranche 7 remain outstanding and unvested, and the total fair
value of these restricted stock awards outstanding was $ 15,072 ,
as measured using a Monte Carlo Simulation with the following ranges of assumptions: our common stock price on the December 31, 2025
measurement date, expected dividend yield of 0 %,
expected volatility of 84.64 %,
risk-free interest rate between a range of 3.48 %,
and an expected term 12
months . The expected volatilities were based on historical volatilities of the
securities of the Company and of our peers, and the risk-free interest rates were determined based on the prevailing rates at the
grant date for U.S. Treasury Bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the award being valued.
c)
Derivative liability - Non-Deliverable Forward
Atlas
Litio, a subsidiary of Atlas Lithium, is exposed to foreign-currency exchange-rate fluctuations in the normal course of business considering
that portion of expenses are in Brazilian reais (BRL). To mitigate this exposure, the subsidiary utilizes non-deliverable forward foreign-exchange
contracts (NDFs), which are designed to offset changes in cash flow attributable to currency exchange movements.
The
Company applies hedge accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP (ASC 815). As a result, these derivative instruments are designated and
qualify as cash flow hedges, with the entire gain or loss on the derivative initially recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). These
amounts remain deferred in OCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item
when it affects earnings.
Atlas
Lithium actively monitors the derivative portfolio of its subsidiary monthly to assess financial results and cash flow implications.
These contracts are used strictly for risk management purposes, and neither the subsidiary nor Atlas Lithium engages in speculative transactions.
Additionally, these contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.
As
of December 31, 2025, the fair value of outstanding NDF contracts was recorded as Derivative Assets on the balance sheet.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025:
●
Unrealized
gains/losses from NDF contracts recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI): $ 224,905
●
Amount
reclassified into Finance Costs (Revenue): $ 475,312

NOTE
8 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Currency
Risk
We
operate primarily in Brazil which exposes it to currency risks. Our business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables
that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs
to the time payments are made may result in us receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at
the time of the original activity.
Our
consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign
currency and the U.S. dollar affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes
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
translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar balance sheets and is necessary
to keep the foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets in agreement.
NOTE
9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
accordance with FASB ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events, we have analyzed our operations subsequent to December 31, 2025 to the date these
consolidated financial statements were issued, and have determined that we do not have any material subsequent events to disclose in
these consolidated financial statements.
