General Metals Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at January 31, 2014, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

In accordance with Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's April 30, 2013 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Metals Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, General Gold Corporation.  Collectively, they are referred herein as the Company.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
The Company is considered a development (exploration) stage entity for financial reporting purposes by United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) since it has not generated material revenue from its principal business activities.
 
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

No new accounting pronouncements have been issued since the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K on August 13, 2013 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013 that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and 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 operations. 

Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or 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.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

On November 27, 2013, the Company entered in a secured convertible note agreement wherein the Company received $25,000. The note may be converted at any time by the holder of the note at a 60% discount to the average of the lowest three closing prices in the previous 10 trading days immediately prior to conversion. The Company may prepay the note anytime up until the maturity date for 125% of the principal amount. The note carries a 12% per annum rate and is due and payable on May 19, 2014.

The note has an estimated fair value of $62,500 at the date of issuance and a principal notional amount of $25,000 indicating an unamortized discount of $37,500 at the date of issuance.  The Company uses the effective interest method to recognize the unamortized discount until the maturity date of the convertible note. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company recognized $9,206 of debt discount.  As of January 31, 2014, the Company carries a remaining unamortized discount of $28,294 and net carrying amount of $34,206. The company will recognize the remaining unamortized discount over the remaining 5.5 months till maturity of the convertible note.

In addition, the Company recognized financing fees related to the variable element of the conversion price related to the discount to the Company’s closing price in the 10 days immediately prior to conversion.  The Company recognized $13,515 of financing fees as a derivative liability at the date of issuance. As of the January 31, 2014, the Company recognized an additional $7,176 expense related to the loss in the fair market value of the derivative due to the deterioration of the Company’s stock price since the issuance of the convertible note.

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.
 
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us" and "our" mean General Metals Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary General Gold Corporation, unless otherwise indicated.
 
OVERVIEW
 
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties currently with an emphasis on gold and silver mineralization, presently focused on our Independence Project located in Battle Mountain, Nevada.
 
The continuation of our company is dependent upon us raising additional capital. In this regard we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions.  We have been successful in structuring deals in which expenses are paid through the issuances of common shares.  In addition, we have raised additional funds and expect to continue to raise additional funds through private placement equity offerings sufficient to fund our current plan of operations.
 
The Independence Mine Property
 
 
We currently control a 100% undivided leasehold interest in the Independence Mine, situated in the Battle Mountain Mining District, Lander County, Nevada. The property consists of 14 whole and fractional mining claims encompassing 240 acres.  Our Due diligence shows that all claims are valid and in good standing through and for the assessment year ending August 31, 2014.
 
The Wilson-Independence project is wholly owned by General Metals through its subsidiary company General Gold Corporation under a mining lease/option agreement with Independence Gold Silver Mines, Inc. of Seattle, Washington.

Accomplishments
 
The key to our future is finding funding or funding partner.  During the quarter ended January 31, 2014, our Company focused its efforts on securing that funding.  We have reviewed and examined in some detail several funding sources and raised $25,000 in the form of a convertible debenture.  We completed a confidentiality agreement with a junior mining company which began a due diligence review in our project.  To date nothing has been finalized on the funding front.

Other Accomplishments include:
1.
We initiated the updating of our independent technical report in the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 format.
2.
We paid The Office of the State Engineer, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources of the state of Nevada the fees to secure the previously approved right to extract water from the aquifer in Buffalo Valley at our 480 acres thereby ensuring that we have enough water to process the mineralized material at that site for gold recovery.
 
Plan of Operations- Permitting and Development Program
 
During the next twelve months, subject to receipt of sufficient funding, we will complete the Independence project’s full permitting process. We anticipate securing necessary studies and permits to allow us to proceed to production.   We also intend to expand our resources and improve the grade of our project through the Preliminary Pit Infill Drilling Program and Sunshine drill Program listed in the budget below.  We will also complete an updated independent technical report.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
 
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
 
We anticipate that to complete our plan of operations we will require additional funds of approximately $3.0 million over the next twelve months. As we do not have the funds necessary to cover our projected operating expenses for the next twelve month period, we will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, through loans or through debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We intend to fulfill any additional cash requirement through the sale of our equity securities.
 
Nevertheless, we continue to identify parties interested in investing in mineral projects, including the Independence Project, and have hosted several at our offices and onsite. 

If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
 
The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements.

We continue to explore opportunities for the receipt of funding in either equity or financing transactions. As we receive these funds, the Board of Directors and Management evaluate the best use of the funding received.
 
Capital Expenditures
 
In accordance with our projected budget for the next twelve months, we do not intend to invest in capital expenditures during the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2015. If the Company were to receive significant funding to bring the Independence into production, the Board of Directors would direct funding in purchasing capital expenditures in accordance with the plan to bring the project into production.
 
General and Administrative/Management and Consulting Expenses
 
We expect to spend up to $500,000 during the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2015 on general and administrative and investor relations expenses including legal and auditing fees, rent, office equipment and other administrative related expenses.
 
Exploration and Development
 
With the receipt of the funding discussed in the budget above, the Company anticipates executing an exploration and development program that should be able to complete the following objectives within the next twelve calendar months including:
1.
Drill the remaining 50% of the project that remains undrilled to expand the shallow resource.
2.
Complete the permitting process and all relevant testing.
3.
Assay the core on the deep holes to identify additional zones of mineralization between the shallow and the deep known mineralization, if any.
4.
Infill drilling in the area of the hill zone anticipated to be included in the phase 1 pit with the goal of decreasing stripping and increasing contained ounces within the potential pit area.
5.
Complete the water well required for production.
6.
Update the Independent Technical Report in the 43-101 format.
 
Corporate Offices
 
Our principal business offices are located at 1155 West Fourth Street, Suite 210, Reno, NV  89503.  We currently obtain our space rent free.  We believe that our current arrangements provide adequate space for our foreseeable future needs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
 
We also own a 480 acre parcel of land in Lander County Nevada which will be used for mineral processing, equipment storage and maintenance.   
 
Employees
 
We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officers or directors). We do and will continue to outsource services as needed.  As at January 31, 2014, our only employee was our President, CEO, and CFO. 

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since the end of our 2013 fiscal year. For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013.

Net Loss
 
The decrease in net loss from the period ended January 31, 2013 to January 31, 2014 relates primarily to decrease in funding available to the Company to further permitting and production work on the Independence Project.  We anticipate net losses in future periods as we continue to work toward our goal of production at the Independence Project.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
 
The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to the same period in fiscal 2013, was mainly due to a decrease in Management and consulting expenses of $50,134 due fees paid to outside consultants.  Board of Directors and other vendors continue to receive stock for services.  Decreased general and administrative expenses for the three months in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 was due to a decrease in fees we paid to the Canadian TSX listing during fiscal year 2013 in anticipation of a listing on the Canadian exchange. Exploration and development activities decreased due to limited funds available to pay for further exploration work and a correction to fees.  Professional fees decreased during the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2013 due to decreased legal fees.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended January 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Loss
 
The decrease in net loss from the period ended January 31, 2013 to January 31, 2014 relates primarily to the stock grants issued to our officers and Board of Directors during the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and fees paid to investor relation consultants and fundraising expenses during the same period.  We anticipate net losses in future periods as we continue to work toward our goal of near term production at the Independence Project.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
 
The decrease in operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2014, compared to the same period in fiscal 2013, was mainly due to a decrease in management and consulting of $190,807. The decrease in management and consulting from nine months ended January 31, 2013 compared to January 31, 2014 relates to: $131,600 in one time stock grants issued to the CEO and the Board of Directors in fiscal 2013, a decrease of $4,000 in management related travel during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013, and a decrease of $65,000 in consulting contracts incurred in fiscal 2013 related to a potential listing on the Venture exchange a redesign of the Company’s website.  Exploration costs increased by $7,848 from the nine months ended January 31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2014 due to an increase in the advanced minimum royalty payment due to Independence Gold-Silver Mines, Inc. Additionally, professional fees were relatively stable in the comparative periods.

We have focused our energy during this quarter securing other potential financing sources and preparing for increased activity related to the permitting process with all charges being classified as development.

Our total assets at January 31, 2014 were $735,158. Our financial statements report a net loss of $509,233 for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 and a net loss of $12,661,412 for the period from March 15, 2006 (date of inception) to January 31, 2014. We had a cash balance of $1,045 as of January 31, 2014.
 
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions.  We have been successful in structuring deals in which expenses are paid for through the issuances of common shares.  In addition, we have raised additional funds and expect to continue to raise additional funds through private placement equity offerings sufficient to fund our current plan of operations.

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
