Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

For The Quarterly Period Ended August 31, 2013


Forward Looking Statements


This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report include, among others, statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations.  Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding our ability to successfully refinance our debt, the availability of additional financing for working capital purposes, our ability to successfully restructure our mineral (metals) exploration and development business (i.e., gold, silver, platinum), our ability to successfully execute our business plan with respect to our proposed energy exploration and development business (i.e., coal, coal rights, hydrocarbons, oil and gas), and other factors., availability of financing, our ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by our non-binding letter of intent with Carbon Energy Handling, Inc. and other factors.  Forward-looking statements are made, without limitation, in relation to our business plans, availability of funds and operating costs.  Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.  Actual events or results may differ materially.  In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors outlined in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2013, and, from time to time, in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

It is the opinion of management that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 include all adjustments necessary in order to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not misleading.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as our Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2013.

FOCUS GOLD CORPORATION

(An exploration stage company)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six month period ended August 31, 2013 and 2012


1. Organization and Description of Business

Focus Gold Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on December 23, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Real Estate Referral Center Inc. On April 21, 2009, the Company changed its name to Gold Bag, Inc. and effective June 6, 2011 to Focus Gold Corporation. In October 2010 the Company entered into an option agreement with Victoria Gold Inc. for the right to explore and purchase mineral claims located in Ontario Canada and since that time the Company’s principal business has been the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.  The Company is considered an exploration stage company and its financial statements are presented in a manner similar to a development stage company as defined in FASC 915-10-05, and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7.  As at February 28, 2013, the Company disposed of all of its then existing mineral properties and the Company has initiated steps to restructure itself and has engaged an outside consultant to identify, review, and assess additional mineral properties for purchase. The Company has developed a private equity strategy to acquiring gold mining properties following several key investment criteria that include: properties that are in safe governmental jurisdictions primarily in the Americas; properties that provide geographic diversification across its portfolio; projects with significant exploration upside; and, where possible, properties with existing capable management teams to which it can then provide senior level experienced management oversight.  Once a property has matured, the Company will seek to divest the property either through a strategic sale or through a spin-off into a stand-alone public company.


On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Fairfields Gold S.A. de CV (“Fairfields”), a Mexican corporation involved in the exploration and expansion of its mineral properties. On October 25, 2011, through its wholly owned subsidiary Focus Celtic Gold Corporation (“Celtic”) the Company completed on the acquisition of 98.65% ownership of Metallum Resources Plc. (“Metallum”), an England &Wales corporation which is involved in the exploration and expansion of its mineral properties. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company exchanged shares of Celtic for settlement of accounts payable reducing the Company’s equity stake in Celtic to 92.16%.   On October 5, 2012, the Company sold its 92.16% interest in Celtic. The associated assets and liabilities of Celtic and Metallum have been classified as discontinued operations at February 29, 2012.  The operations of Celtic and Metallum Resources Plc. through October 5, 2012 have been reflected in loss from operations of discontinued entities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On February 8, 2013, the Company sold its 100% interest in Fairfields. The operations of Celtic and Fairfields for the six month period ended August 31, 2012 have been reflected in loss from operations of discontinued entities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  


The prior period results of continuing operations of Celtic and Fairfields have been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

FOCUS GOLD CORPORATION

(An exploration stage company)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six month period ended August 31, 2013 and 2012


2. Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. This condensed summary should be read in conjunction with the disclosure of accounting policies in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013.


(a)

Mineral Properties, Leases and Exploration and Development Costs

The Company accounts for mineral properties in accordance with ASC 930: Extractive Activities-Mining. Costs of acquiring mineral properties and leases are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims (see Note 5). Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.


The Company accounts for mineral exploration and development costs in accordance with ASC 932: Extractive Activities.  All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the

period the property is abandoned.  Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refunded to the Company are credited to the capitalized cost of the mineral property or to exploration costs as applicable. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the mineral property or the exploration costs incurred, the excess is recognized as income in the year received.

 

The amounts shown for mineral properties do not necessarily represent present or future values. Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

(b)

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments consist of common stock warrants and certain instruments embedded in certain notes payable and related agreements. These financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheets at fair value as liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period of change.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(c)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment at each balance sheet date and documents such impairment testing. The tests include an evaluation of the assets and events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Mineral properties in the exploration stage are monitored for impairment based on factors such as the Company's continued right to explore the area, exploration reports, assays, technical reports, drill results and the Company's continued plans to fund exploration programs on the property, whether sufficient work has been performed to indicate that the carrying amount of the mineral property cost carried forward as an asset will not be fully recovered, even though a viable mine has been discovered.


The tests for long-lived assets in the exploration, development or producing stage that would have a value beyond proven and probable reserves would be monitored for impairment based on factors such as current market value of the mineral property and results of exploration, future asset utilization, business climate, mineral prices and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, including evaluating its reserves beyond proven and probable amounts.


The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable either by impairment or by abandonment of the property. The impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.


During the year ended February 28, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge on its Metallum properties and Watabeag & Russell.


(d)

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation to employees as required by ASC718: Compensation-Stock Compensation and stock based compensation to nonemployees as required by ASC505-50: Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The offset to the recorded stock based compensation cost is to additional paid-in capital. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and additional paid-in capital and the related additional paid-in capital is transferred to share capital.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(e)

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants issued in conjunction with stock issuances under private placement using the fair value method. Under this method, the value of warrants issued is measured at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and recorded as share capital and additional paid-in capital.

The Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of notes payable using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the relative fair value of the warrant as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is then amortized over the term of the underlying debt instrument.


(f)

Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of impairment of mineral properties and equipment, useful lives for amortization, valuation allowances for future income tax assets, fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation and reclamation and environmental obligations. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates.


(g)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(h)

Going Concern


The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $515,277 during the six month period ended August 31, 2013, and has an accumulated deficit of $19,335,974 since entry into the exploration stage. Additionally, the Company is in default of various notes with principal amounts aggregating $349,100. The Company changed its principal business to the development and exploitation of mineral properties in October 2010, but has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.


In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and or a debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(i)

Fair Value Measurements

The FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active or inactive markets and valuations derived from models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in any market.


Given the conditions surrounding the trading of the Company’s equity securities, the Company values its derivative instruments related to embedded conversion features and warrants from the issuance of convertible debentures in accordance with the Level 3 guidelines. For the six month period ended August 31, 2013, the following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of warrants and embedded conversion features that have exercise reset features are estimated using an adjusted Black-Scholes model based on the Company’s estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a reset.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change to the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.



(j)

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheet of August 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three month and six month periods ended August 31, 2012 and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six month period ended August 31, 2012 have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.


All references to common shares of the Company have been adjusted to give effect to the implementation of a 20:1 reverse split of the Company’s authorized and issued common stock which was effected on January 14, 2013.


3. Discontinued Operations

On October 5, 2012 the Company entered an agreement with European Resource Capital Inc. for the sale of the Company’s 24,420,000 shares of common stock of Celtic (92.16% interest), 64,987,982 Metallum options providing the acquirer with the option to acquire an additional 64,987,982 common shares of Metallum for £0.10 per share through December 31, 2012 and amounts receivable from Celtic of approximately $217,031 in exchange for $2,500,000 (Canadian) ($2,553,887 at exchange rates at the date of this transaction).  European Resource Capital Inc. issued the Company an eight percent (8%) 5 year $2,500,000 (Canadian) promissory note payable that is secured by the 24,420,000 shares of Celtic common stock.

On October 5, 2012 the Company entered into a sales agreement with European Resource Capital Inc. for the sale of the Company’s 24,420,000 shares of common stock of Celtic (92.16% interest), 64,987,982 Metallum options providing the acquirer with the option to acquire an additional 64,987,982 common shares of Metallum for £0.10 per share through December 31, 2012 and amounts receivable from Celtic of $217,031 in exchange for payment of $2,500,000 (Canadian) ($2,553,887 at exchange rates at the date of this transaction).  European Resource Capital Inc. issued the Company an eight percent (8%) 5 year $2,500,000 (Canadian) promissory note payable that is secured by the 24,420,000 shares of Celtic common stock.  The sales agreement acknowledges that JMJ Financial has an unperfected lien against 25% of the purchased shares. If the Company is unsuccessful in removing JMJ Financials’ unperfected lien, European Resource Capital may settle such lien and reduce the $2,500,000 (Canadian) promissory note by 35% of its present value.


On March 21, 2013 the Company restructured its relationship with European Resource Capital Inc. (“ERC”) by entering an Assignment Agreement dated March 21, 2013 with ERC and Distressed Debt Investment Corp. Under the Assignment Agreement, the Company was paid $200,000 (Canadian Dollars, $193,602 at exchange rates at April 1, 2013 the date of receipt of proceeds) and received a one percent (1%) net smelter return royalty in the minerals extracted from the properties comprising the prospecting licenses in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland currently registered in the name of Celtic or its subsidiaries.  The fair value of the 1% smelter return royalty of $1,892,000 was based on an independent third party valuation analysis using estimates and assumptions provided by management of Celtic, and other information compiled by management of Celtic. The fair value of the consideration received during the restructuring in March 2013 aggregating $193,602 has been reflected in the determination of fair value of the $2,500,000 (Canadian) promissory note and accrued interest at February 28, 2013 and the difference of $545,849 was recorded retroactively in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2013 as an impairment of the note receivable.

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 2% per month calculated and compounded monthly and a commitment arrangement and placement fee of $67,500 per month (less interest).

On March 22, 2012 the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) in aggregate principal amount of $2,110,000 (the “JMJ Note”) to be advanced over time. In consideration for issuing of the JMJ Note and 125,000 warrants, JMJ provided the initial funding of $275,000 (total of $356,000 through February 28, 2013). The JMJ Note bears interest at a one-time amount of 10%, matures three years from the date of issuance, is secured by 25% of the Company’s investment property and ownership or other equity interests the Company holds in Focus Celtic Gold Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiary, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at JMJ’s option, at a conversion price, equal to 80% of the average of the three lowest trade prices for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the conversion. The Note was issued with a 10% original issue discount. The original issue discount of $39,556 is being accreted to amortization of debt discount over the term of the note. JMJ has agreed to restrict their ability to convert the JMJ Note and receive shares of common stock so that the number of shares of common stock held by JMJ and its affiliates in the aggregate after such conversion or exercise, does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. No interest or principal payments are required until the maturity date. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to Maturity Date at 150%. The 125,000 warrants issued to JMJ entitle JMJ to purchase up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment to maintain an aggregate exercise price of $500,000. The 125,000 common share purchase warrants may in certain circumstances be exercised in whole or part in a cashless exercise equal to the difference between the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the holder elects to exercise the warrant, and the exercise price of the warrant times the number of warrants so being exercised. The warrant exercise price may be adjusted to a lesser amount than $4.00 where, at any time while the warrant is outstanding, and the Company sells or grants an option to purchase or sell, or grants any right to re-price, or issues any share of common stock or security convertible into the Company’s common stock, at an effective price less than the $4.00 exercise price, the exercise price shall be reduced to that lesser amount. The warrant is non-transferrable. The Company has determined that the warrants and the convertible feature of the JMJ Note are derivative liabilities with fair values of $418,531 and $867,469 respectively at their dates of issue. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 3.0 years; volatility of 102.6%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 0.56%. The fair value of the derivative liability was recorded as a discount to the debt of $337,692 and $948,308 of interest and financing fees. The discount is being amortized to amortization of debt discount over the term of the JMJ Note. The unamortized discount at August 31, 2013 was $121,056 (February 28, 2013 - $193,858).

On August 9, 2013, the Company issued a 12% Promissory Note to Redwood Management, LLC for $125,000 principal amount (the “Redwood Note”).  The Company received net proceeds of $12,500 upon execution and was to receive thereafter the amount of $12,500 each 30 days from execution until the full $125,000 was funded. The Redwood Note is due and payable February 1, 2014 with interest charged on the unconverted and then outstanding principal amount at the rate of 12% regardless of how long this note remains outstanding, and the holder of the Redwood Note may convert the principal amount and interest to shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a conversion price equal to a 50% discount to the lowest closing price determined on the current trading market for the company’s common stock during the twenty trading days immediately prior to conversion notice.  The Company may, where the Redwood Note is not in default, prepay any portion of the principal amount at 125% of such amount upon seven days written notice.  The Company has determined that the convertible feature of the Redwood-Circadian Note is a derivative liability with fair value of $35,783 at the dates of receipt. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 0.65 – 0.75 years; volatility of 102.64 – 117.42%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 0.05 – 0.08%. The fair value of the derivative liability was recorded as a discount to the debt of $17,500 and $18,283 of interest and finance fees.  This discount is being amortized to amortization of debt discount over the term of the note. The unamortized discount and the fair value of the derivative liability at August 31, 2013 was $15,709 (February 28, 2013 - $nil) and $30,753 (February 28, 2013 - $nil) respectively.  The fair value of the derivative liability at August 31, 2013 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 0.65 years; volatility of 121.44%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 0.05%. The Company estimates the fair value of this derivative liability at each reporting period and records any change in the fair value of the derivative liability to the statement of operations.

As of the fiscal year end, February 28, 2011, the board of directors had granted options to purchase 320,000 shares of common stock at $10 per share to 7 persons.

6. Share Capital (Continued)

The Company has issued the following classes of warrants as set out below:


        Class A warrant

Are non-transferrable, exercisable for cash and have no acceleration of the expiry date.

Class B warrant

Are transferrable, each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at the exercise price per share set out in the table above, subject to acceleration provisions and with a cashless exercise provision based upon the 20 day volume weighted average price per share at closing day (VWAP) the day prior to exercise. Holders of warrants electing cashless exercise will receive that number of shares equal to the 20 day VWAP minus the exercise price divided by the 20 day VWAP minus the exercise price divided by the 20 day VWAP multiplied by the number of warrants exercised.  The April 4, 2018, May 20, 2018 and June 2, 2018 warrants are not subject to acceleration and their cashless exercise provision uses a 5 day VWAP in its calculation.

Note  Warrants

October 24, 2014 &

July 23, 2015

Are transferrable and entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of three years.  In lieu of the cash payment the holder has the right to convert this warrant in whole or in part without payment of any kind into that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the conversion less the aggregate purchase price of the shares being exercised divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the conversion.

Transferable with the approval of the Company.  At any time after September 22, 2012, in lieu of the cash payment the holder has the right to convert this warrant in whole or in part without payment of any kind into that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate of the VWAP price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the conversion less the aggregate purchase price of the shares being exercised divided by the VWAP of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the conversion.  The March 22, 2015 warrants provide the warrant holder with down round protection where the Company issues any shares, or grants any warrant or convertible security, or re-prices a security, at less than the effective exercise price of the March 22, 2015 warrant at that time, then the effective exercise price shall be lowered to such lesser amount. As at August 31, 2013, the Company has estimated the re-priced warrant from 125,000 common shares at $4.00 per share to 151,515,152 common shares at $0.0033 per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2013 and 2012.  The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview of our Business

 

Focus Gold Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 2005 under the name “Real Estate Referral Center, Inc.”.  Effective on May 22, 2009 we changed our name to “Gold Bag, Inc.” and completed a 10:1 forward stock split.  Effective on June 6, 2011 we changed our name to “Focus Gold Corporation”.  Effective on January 14, 2013 we completed a 1:20 reverse stock split.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, under the symbol “FGLD”.


To date, we have been engaged primarily in organizational activities and, until recently, have engaged in minimal initial exploration at several of our projects.  As discussed in greater detail below, we have disposed of our interests in our former mineral exploration properties and are now focused on restructuring the Company and identifying suitable new exploration opportunities.


Subsidiaries

 

We currently have one wholly-owned subsidiary, Focus Gold Mexico Limited, a Delaware corporation.

 

Current Business Operations

 

We are an exploration stage issuer focused on the acquisition and development of mining properties.  During the quarter ended August 31, 2013, we were involved in the following projects:


The Celtic Rights. - On October 25, 2011, Focus Gold completed the acquisition of a 98.65% interest in Metallum Resources PLC (“Metallum”). The acquisition gave Focus Gold indirect ownership through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Focus Celtic Gold Corporation (“Celtic”), of thirty-one exploration licenses in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Ireland covering in excess of 388,000 hectares.  On October 5, 2012, Focus Gold entered an agreement with European Resource Capital Inc. (“ERC”) for the sale of the following to ERC for CAD$2,500,000 ($2,553,778 based upon the CAD to USD exchange rate): (a) 24,420,000 shares of common stock of Celtic; and (b) amounts receivable from Celtic of $217,031.  We also caused Metallum to grant to ERC at total of 64,987,982 options, each entitling the holder to purchase one common share of Metallum for £0.10 through December 31, 2012.  Upon closing, ERC issued to Focus Gold a promissory note in the principal amount of CAD$2,500,000, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum and secured by the 24,420,000 shares of Celtic common stock.


The Company restructured its relationship with ERC by entering an Assignment Agreement dated March 21, 2013 with ERC and Distressed Debt Investment Corp.  Under the Assignment Agreement, the Company was paid CAD$200,000 ($193,602 at exchange rates at April 1, 2013, the date of receipt of proceeds) and received a one percent (1%) net smelter return royalty in the minerals extracted from the properties comprising the prospecting licenses in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland currently registered in the name of Celtic or its subsidiaries. The fair value of the 1% smelter return royalty of $1,892,000 was based on an independent third party valuation analysis using estimates and assumptions provided by management of Celtic, and other information compiled by management of Celtic.


The fair value of the consideration received during the restructuring in March 2013 aggregating $193,602 was reflected retroactively in the determination of fair value of the CAD$2,500,000 promissory note and accrued interest at February 28, 2013, and the difference of $545,849 was recorded in our audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2013 as an impairment of note receivable.


33





  



The results from the operations of the Celtic Rights also were included in discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.  


We intend to restructure our operations and engaged an outside consultant to identify, review, and assess additional mining properties for purchase.  


We will consider the interests of both shareholders and creditors in this restructuring process. As we strive to repay our debt and secure capital to create revenue in future periods, there will be dilution to existing stockholders caused by the issuance of common stock for cash, services, and in exchange for debt. While management seeks to minimize the dilution to existing stockholders, multiple factors beyond management’s control, such as general economic conditions, the availability of and terms available for debt and equity funding, and the trading price of our common stock, will have a significant impact on this effort.  Investors are cautioned that these efforts may not be successful.


We have developed a private equity strategy to acquire gold mining properties following several key investment criteria that include: properties that are in safe governmental jurisdictions primarily in the Americas; properties that provide geographic diversification across our portfolio;  projects that have significant exploration upside; and properties with existing capable management teams to which we can then provide senior level experienced management oversight.  Once a property has matured, we will seek to divest of the property either through a strategic sale or through a spin-off into a stand-alone public company.


As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 8, 2013, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Carbon Energy Handling, Inc. (“CH”), a private corporation controlled by our Company’s CEO, Gordon F. Lee, that outlined a transaction to acquire various business opportunities . Subsequently, we agreed not to pursue the non-binding letter of intent.  


On June 1, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with our CEO, Gordon F. Lee, to provide services as a consultant at the rate of $10,000 per month in cash or in stock, and have accrued a total of $30,000 as compensation for the quarter ended August 31, 2013 under this arrangement.  In addition, the consulting agreement provides that we will issue one million shares of Series C preferred stock to Mr. Lee for a stated value of $10,000.  That agreement has been rescinded retroactively as of October 21, 2013. See, Item 6, Other Information.


On June 1, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with Victoria J. Blackburn to provide “Consulting, Research, Review and Assessment of Technical Reports of Mining Properties, and of the Mining Property, along with comparables of said properties.”, for a three month period, renewing thereafter for additional three month terms.  Compensation for the services is set at $20,000 per month in stock or in cash for a period of three months. A total of 16,000,000 shares have been issued to Victoria Blackburn in payment of $60,000 in  compensation for the first three months of this agreement, through August 31, 2013, and an additional 4,000,000 shares were issued in payment of the fee of $20,000 for September, 2013.  Victoria J. Blackburn is Secretary of CH and is also the executive assistant of our CEO, Gordon F. Lee. That agreement has been rescinded retroactively as of September 30, 2013. See, Item 6, Other Information.


On June 15, 2013, we entered into Service Agreements with CH and with Gordon F. Lee Group, LLC (“GFLG”), a private limited liability company also controlled by our  CEO, Gordon F. Lee. Under the Service Agreement with CH, we engaged CH as a management service contractor to provide a full scope of management, personnel, administrative, supervisory, accounting and billing services relating to all of the non-legal aspects of our operations relating to the pursuit of our proposed energy exploration and development business (i.e., coal, coal rights, hydrocarbons, oil and gas) for a fixed monthly fee of $10,000.  Under the Service Agreement with GFLG, we engaged GFLG as a management service contractor to provide a full scope of management, personnel, administrative, supervisory, accounting and billing services relating to all of the non-legal aspects of our mineral (metals) exploration and development business that we are in the process of restructuring (i.e., gold, silver, platinum) for a fixed monthly fee of $10,000. These agreements have been rescinded retroactively as of October 21, 2013. See, Item 6, Other Information.


34





  




Also on June 15, 2013, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Gordon F. Lee, individually, effective June 1, 2013. Under this agreement, Mr. Lee will earn a salary of $1 per year, and, as an incentive bonus, has the opportunity to earn up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 100,000,000 common stock purchase options at an exercise price of $.01 per share, expiring June 1, 2018 (“Incentive Options”).  Mr. Lee will receive 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 20,000,000 Incentive Options upon closing the acquisition of each of four identified properties and an additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 5,000,000 Incentive Options upon completion of each technical report for the four property acquisitions, if they are closed. That agreement has been rescinded retroactively as of October 21, 2013. See, Item 6, Other Information.

  

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 5, 2013, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with MinJay Holding Ltd. (“MinJay”), Stephanie Carey, Tripod Enterprises Ltd., Erika Knowles, Andrew Butler, James Lalonde and Cleavon Nixon (the “Co-Vendors”) that outlines a transaction in which the Company would acquire 100 percent of the Co-Vendors legal and beneficial interest in and to a purchase contract, (excluding certain water rights, separately deeded to MinJay, and not part of this agreement) dated June 13, 2013, between MinJay and each of Bobby J. Westbrook and Wanda Westbrook and to the Waters Sunset Gold Property. Management is still reviewing the transaction and conducting due diligence.

 

Going Concern


The independent auditors’ report accompanying our February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern,” which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.


Results of Operations

 

We have not generated any revenues and we have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.


Three month period ended August 31, 2013 Compared to Three month period ended August 31, 2012:


The summarized financial data set forth in the table below is derived from and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, including the notes to those financial statements which are included in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements.

We generated no revenues for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 or 2012. Total expenses from continuing operations decreased to ($1,523,237) for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 compared to $1,099,955 recorded for the three month period ended August 31, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to the change in derivative liabilities recorded in the current quarter compared to the previous quarter of 2012 and other items as noted in the discussion below:


General and Administrative expenses decreased approximately 34.4%, or $75,852, for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  The components of General and Administrative expenses are:


o

Consulting expenses were $93,000 for the three month period ended August 31, 2013, as compared to $50,760 in the comparable prior year period.  This increase was primarily attributable to the engagement of consultants in the three month period ended August 31, 2013 to manage the Company’s activities and project development compared to the comparable prior period.


o

Management fees and salaries decreased to $nil for the three month period ended August 31, 2013, as compared to $22,461 in the three month period ended August 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to the cessation of fees payable to the Company's former director of exploration and former president and CEO of the Company after August 2012.


o

Legal and professional expenses decreased approximately $36,078 or 46.4% for the three month period ended August 31, 2013, as compared to the comparable prior year period.  This decrease was primarily attributable to additional accounting and legal costs in the three month period ended August 31, 2012.


Other income and expenses for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 totaled a gain of $1,719,536 compared to an expense of $877,092 in the three month period ended August 31, 2012, composed of: $83,014 (2012 - $195,313) from the amortization of the discount recorded on notes payable; $231,702 (2012 - $94,141) of interest and financial fees. This increase in interest and financing fees is primarily attributable to the accounting of derivative liabilities and the inclusion herein of $136,804 in the three month period ended August 31, 2013 compared to $nil for the three months ended August 31, 2012 from derivative liabilities as interest and financing.  In addition, other income and expenses included changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the three month period ended August 31, 2013 of a gain of $2,034,252 compared to an expense of $865,227 in the three month period ended August 31, 2012.   Management expects the amount of other expenses related to the amortization of debt discounts to be fully amortized in the fiscal year ended 2015. Derivative liabilities fair values are tested at the end of each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other incomes or expenses.

We generated no revenues for the six month period ended August 31, 2013 or 2012. Total expenses from continuing operations decreased to $515,278 for the six month period ended August 31, 2013 compared to $1,684,497 for the six month period ended August 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to the change in derivative liabilities recorded in the current six month period compared to the previous six month period of 2012 and other items as noted in the discussion below:


General and Administrative expenses decreased approximately 16.9%, or $69,877, for the six month period ended August 31, 2013 as compared to the comparable prior year period.  The components of General and Administrative expenses are:


Consulting expenses were $222,450 for the six month period ended August 31, 2013, as compared to $97,637 in the comparable prior year period.  This increase was primarily attributable to the engagement consultants in the three month period ended August 31, 2013 to manage the Company’s activities and project development compared to the comparable prior period.


Management fees and salaries decreased to $nil for the six month period ended August 31, 2013, as compared to $69,588 for the six month period ended August 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to the cessation of fees payable to the Company's former director of exploration and former president and CEO of the Company after August 2012.


Legal and professional expenses decreased approximately $51,550 or 32.9% for the six month period ended August 31, 2013, as compared to the comparable prior year period.    This decrease was primarily attributable to the costs of maintaining litigation defense and higher costs for audit and accounting related services in the six month period ended August 31, 2012,.


Other income and expenses for the six month period ended August 31, 2013 totaled $119,964 compared to $1,268,595 in the six month period ended August 31, 2012, composed of: $244,892 (2012 - $456,945) from the amortization of the discount recorded on notes payable; $318,952 (2012 - $1,316,043) of interest and financial fees. This increase in interest and financing fees is primarily attributable to the accounting of derivative liabilities and the inclusion herein of $1,005,859 in the six month period ended August 31, 2012 from derivative liabilities as interest and financing fees.  In addition, other income and expenses included a expense from changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the six month period ended August 31, 2013 of a gain of $443,880 (2012 – gain of $226,804).   Management expects the amount of other expenses related to the amortization of debt discounts to be fully amortized in the fiscal year ended 2015. Derivative liabilities fair values are tested at the end of each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other incomes or expenses.

37





  


Income or Loss from Discontinued Operations


We incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $nil for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 and $nil for the six month period ended August 31, 2013 compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $3,302,639 for the three month period ended August 31, 2012 and $4,033,339 for the six month period ended August 31, 2012.  Discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2012 include operating results for and amortization of debt discounts of $158,717 and $330,785 respectively.  


Management does not believe the percentage changes in expenses are indicative of future changes.  Until we engage in exploration activities for a sufficient time to include comparable prior year periods, management is unable to predict the anticipated changes in expenses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Although incorporated in 2005, we began our current operations in October 2010, and have not  yet attained a level of operations which allows us to meet our current overhead. As discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report, we have discontinued our interests in our former mineral exploration properties and are now engaged in restructuring our operations and seeking new exploration oportunities.  Our ability to attain profitable operations remains uncertain, particularly given current economic conditions. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital in order to enable us to restructure our affairs.


While hawse have funded ourts initial operations with private placements of equity and debt, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.


As of August 31, 2013, our cash balance was $779. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as well as short term payments under contracts as of August 31, 2013 totaled $3,145,097. Our working capital at August 31, 2013 was a deficit of $3,090,580.

 

During the six month period ended August 31, 2013, our sole means of meeting our cash flow requirements was through the receipt of funds from reorganization of our Note Receivable into a 1% Smelter interest and the receipt of $193,602 ;net proceeds of $100,000 from the sale of stock (2012 - $nil);and $65,000 from the sale of debt instruments (2012 - $456,000).


Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

We have not yet generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six month period ended August 31, 2013, net cash flows used in operating activities was $319,060, consisting of a net loss of $515,277, adjusted by a gain in amortization of debt discount of $244,892, a gain in non-cash interest and financial fees of $314,944, a decrease in derivative liabilities of $443,880, a gain in non-cash common stock issued for services of $2,262, an increase in prepaid expenses of $10,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $46,092 and an increase in related accounts payable and accrued expenses of $41,907.  


For the six month period ended August 31, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities was $458,635, consisting of a net loss of $5,717,836, adjusted by a gain in amortization of debt discount of $456,945, a gain in non-cash interest and financial fees of $1,292,643, a decrease in change in derivative liabilities of $226,804, a gain in common stock issued for services of $13,926, a decrease in taxes and other amounts receivable of $4,545, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $40,870, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $92,771, a decrease in related accounts payable and accrued expenses of $31,042 and an increase in discontinued operations of $3,615,347.  


38





  


Cash Flows from Investing Activities


For the six month period ended August 31, 2013 cash flows used in investing was $40,000 consisting of the redemption of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock. For the six month period ended August 31, 2012 cash flows from investing activities was $nil, consisting of an advance of $200,000 to the Company’s former subsidiary and an increase in discontinued operations of $200,000..


Cash Flows from Financing Activities


We have financed our operations primarily from either advances or the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the six month period ended August 31, 2013, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $358,602 compared to $456,000 for the six month period ended August 31, 2012.  

 

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities, debt instruments, and related party loans or advances. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.


Plan of Operations


Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to focus on reorganizing our operations and identifying new exploration opportunities.  Unless and until we are successful in entering one or more definitive agreements in furtherance of our business plan, our capital needs for the next twelve months remains uncertain.


At August 31, 2013, we had $779 in cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities as well as short term payments under contracts as of August 31, 2013 totaled $3,145,097. Our working capital deficit as at August 31, 2013 was $3,090,580.  During the twelve month period following the date of this report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue unless we complete one or more acquisitions. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations for and beyond the next twelve months.  However, our ability to raise additional financing on terms that our acceptable to us, or at all, remains uncertain.  We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.


Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity to third parties, and debt instruments from related and non-related parties.  We cannot provide our investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock, issuance of debt, advances or otherwise to fund our business activities going forward. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue our operations and our business plan will fail.


Depository Chill


By letter dated May 20, 2013, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) advised us that DTC has imposed a restriction on physical and electronic deposit transactions (the “Deposit Chill”) in shares of our common stock.  The effect of the Deposit Chill is that DTC will no longer accept share certificates for deposit, thereby preventing the deposit of the underlying shares into DTC-participant broker accounts.  Generally speaking, as long as the Deposit Chill is in place, persons holding such shares will be unable to deposit or trade them electronically.


The Deposit Chill applies to all shares newly issued on or after the Chill Effective Date, as well as all shares previously issued as “restricted securities” that are cleared for resale on or after May 20, 2013, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  The reason given by DTC for the Deposit Chill was the  large number of shares deposited with DTC between December 23, 2011 and April 8, 2013.  


As long as the Deposit Chill is in place, persons with share certificates representing freely tradable shares or restricted shares will be unable to deposit their shares into a broker account and effect trades electronically.  This will likely have a material adverse effect on the public trading market for our shares; and will represent a significant obstacle to shareholders holding share certificates who wish to sell their shares.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 president (also our principal executive officer and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As of August 31, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Gordon F. Lee (our principal executive officer and also our principal financial officer) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, Mr. Lee concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our corporate reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report due to certain deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting as at our year ended February 28, 2013, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, which may be considered to be material weaknesses and which had not been resolved as of August 31, 2013.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a 6% convertible promissory note with Circadian Group in the amount of $54,325 in settlement of amounts payable due Circadian Group (the “Circadian Note”).  The Circadian Note matured on May 31, 2013.

 

On August 9, 2013, the holder of the Circadian Note assigned their rights in the Circadian Note to Redwood Management, LLC, and the Company and Redwood Management, LLC entered into a Securities Settlement Agreement dated August 9, 2013 to settle the Circadian Note in exchange for the amount of $54,325 payable to Redwood Management, LLC maturing February 9, 2014 (the “Redwood-Circadian Note”).     The Redwood-Circadian Note bears interest at 12% of the principal amount regardless of when repaid and the holder of the Redwood-Circadian Note may convert the principal amount and interest to shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a conversion price equal to a 50% discount to the lowest closing price determined on the current trading market for the company’s common stock during the twenty trading days immediately prior to conversion notice.  The Company may, if the Redwood-Circadian Note is not in default, prepay any portion of the principal amount at 125% of such amount upon seven days written notice.  In connection with the Redwood-Circadian Note, Redwood Management, LLC effected the following conversions of principal and accrued interest; and the Company relied on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof:

Item 3.02 of Form 8-K requires us to file a current report disclosing certain unregistered sales of our equity securities. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to file a current report on Form 8-K to report unregistered sales of equity securities if the equity securities sold, in the aggregate, since our last Form 8-K filed under Item 3.02 or our last periodic report (i.e., an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q), whichever is more recent, constitute less than 5% of the number of shares outstanding of the class of equity securities sold.  


During the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2013, we were required, but through inadvertence failed, to file current reports on Form 8-K to report the unregistered sales of equity securities disclose in Item 2, above, under the heading “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”, since the aggregate number of equity shares issued exceeded the threshold for the reporting exemption.


Item 3.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities


None, except for defaults on convertible notes as discussed under Footnote 5 to our financial statements included in this Report.


Item 4.

Mine Safety Disclosures


Not applicable.


Item 5.

Other Information


On October 21, 2013, we entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement with our CEO, Gordon F. Lee, pursuant to which Mr. Lee agreed to resign all positions with the Company after appointing Mr. Michael Gelmon as a second director of the Company (effective on the filing of this Report, to terminate and rescind all employment agreements, consulting agreements, options and warrants held by Mr. Lee or entered into between Mr. Lee and the Company, to cancel and rescind the issuance of all stock issued to Mr. Lee by the Company after May 31, 2013, as well as to cancel and to rescind as of September 30, 2013, the consulting agreement between the Company and Victoria Blackburn.  The rescission actions also include the consulting agreements entered into between the Company and Mr. Lee’s companies, Carbon Energy Handling, Inc. and Gordon F. Lee Group, LLC. In exchange for the resignations and termination of the several agreements and the cancellation of all shares issued to Mr. Lee after May 31, 2013, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Lee 100,000,000 shares of common stock with an agreed value of $200,000, the closing market price of the stock.  The amounts previously contributed by Mr. Lee for the purchase of units consisting of common stock and warrants, net of amounts paid in cash to Mr. Lee as compensation for employment and consulting services for himself and his related entities, will be allocated as part of the cost of the new shares to be issued, and the balance of the $200,000 will be treated as compensation to Mr. Lee for his services.
