| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026. As such, the discussion of certain significant accounting policies has been excluded from the footnotes presented herein.
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the instructions to Form 10-Q, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, which includes the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and presents the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of July 31, 2026. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounting policies and procedures used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, which are contained in the Form 10-K filed on July 29, 2026. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2026 was derived from those financial statements. It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. Operating results during the three months ended July 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2027 (“fiscal year 2027”).
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of mineral rights, stock-based compensation, the fair value of common stock, valuation of warrant liability, asset retirement obligations and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company did not have any cash equivalents on hand at July 31, 2026, and April 30, 2026. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At July 31, 2026, and April 30, 2026, the Company had bank balances of approximately $26.8 million and $30.4 million, respectively, that exceed the FDIC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts.

Property
Property and equipment is carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred, unless such repairs materially extend the useful life of the asset; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s balance sheet and any resulting gains or losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the period in which the disposition or retirement occurred.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not recognize any impairment during the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025.
Mineral Rights
Costs of leasing, exploring, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses all mineral exploration costs as incurred. Where the Company has identified proven and probable mineral reserves on any of its properties, development costs will be capitalized when all the following criteria have been met, a) the Company receives the requisite operating permits, b) completion of a favorable Feasibility Study and c) approval from the Board of director’s authorizing the development of the ore body. Until such time all these criteria have been met, the Company expenses pre-development costs as incurred.
To date, the Company has expensed all exploration and pre-development costs as none of its properties have satisfied the criteria above for capitalization.
Share-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Accounting for Warrants
Warrants are accounted for in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments, depending on the specific terms of the agreements. The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Instruments that are classified as liabilities are recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with any change in fair value recognized as a component of change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations for such period.
U.S. GOLD CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 31, 2026
The Company assessed the classification of its outstanding common stock purchase warrants as of the date of issuance and determined that such instruments, except for the warrants discussed under Warrant Liability below, met the criteria for equity classification under the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share; ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity; and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company has no outstanding warrants that contain a “down round” feature under ASC 815-10.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounted for the 625,000 warrants and 870,000 warrants issued in March 2022 and April 2023 (see Note – 9), respectively, in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 whereby under that provision these warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified these warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusted the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. This liability was re-measured at each balance sheet date until the warrants were exercised or expired, and any change in fair value was recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of these warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Such warrant classification was also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period. During fiscal year 2026, all warrants for which a warrant liability had previously been established were exercised and the fair-market value at the time of exercise ($10,136,100) of the corresponding liability was reclassified to additional paid in capital, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $1,495,000.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842. Operating lease right of use assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Upon an election by the Company to extend a lease for additional years, such election will be treated as a lease modification, and the lease will be reviewed for re-measurement. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising cost
The Company applies ASC 720, Other Expenses, to account for advertising costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses advertising expenses as incurred. Advertising costs primarily include social media and digital marketing ads. Advertising costs of approximately $950,000 and $1,195,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Segment Information
The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment. The Chief Executive Officer serves as Chief Operating Decision Maker and reviews financial information on a consolidated basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to impact or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Subtopic 220-40, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 allows entities to apply the amendment prospectively or elect retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (“ASU 2025-11”), which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-11 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 17, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”). The amendments in this update are to make other incremental improvements to GAAP and facilitate codification updates for a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The resulting amendments are collectively referred to as Codification improvements. ASU 2025-12 is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-12 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
