In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “Lake Victoria” mean Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc., Lake Victoria Resources (T) Limited, Chrysos 197 Company Tanzania Ltd and Jin 197 Company Tanzania Ltd, unless otherwise indicated.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

We are an exploration stage corporation focused on acquiring, exploring and developing gold deposits in Tanzania, East Africa. We hold 3 prospective gold projects, consisting of one mining license, 2 Prospecting Licenses (PLs) and 43 Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) (Table 1), within our Tanzania property portfolio, covering approximately 32.71 square kilometers (8,083 acres).

During the course of the year from 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015, we have relinquished 3 Gold Prospecting Licenses. Our main area of interest is acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties through our ongoing exploration program. Following exploration, we intend to either advance them to a commercially feasible mining stage, enter joint ventures to further develop these properties, sell or dispose of them if the properties do not meet our requirements. Our properties are all early stage exploration properties. Within our mineral exploration land in Tanzania our focus is primarily on gold.

We have no revenues, we have incurred losses since inception and we have relied upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. To date, we have not discovered a NI43-101 compliant commercially viable ore body, mineral deposit or mineral reserve on any of our properties and we will be unable to do so until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes with an economic feasibility study or production is initiated However, we have received environmental (EIA) approval and a Mining License to commence gold mining on one of our gold projects mineralized target.

Assuming funding is available, we plan to develop and conduct small-scale gold mining on selected mineral properties within certain areas that are currently contained within our primary mining licenses and the Mining License that we have. The production decision or significant development on these projects will not be based on mineral reserves supported by an NI43-101 compliant technical report. We plan to secure Mining Licenses for each of these potential mining areas.

Our property portfolio is large, therefore we may interest other companies in our properties to either participate by means of option or joint venture agreements in the exploration of our properties or to finance and establish production on discovered mineralization.

We maintain our registered agent’s office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511 and our business and administrative office is located at Suite 810 – 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 1N2, Canada. Our telephone number is 604.248.5750.

Recent Corporate Developments

During the fiscal year ended on March 31st, 2015, we experienced the following significant corporate developments:

  1.

Effective April 10, 2015, John Surtherland was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors and as a member and Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee.

   

 

  2.

Effective April 10, 2015, David Webb resigned as a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Webb’s resignation was not as a result of any disagreement with the Company or with its board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Competitive Factors

The gold mining industry is fragmented, that is there are many gold prospectors and producers, small and large. We are a small exploration stage mining company and we do not have the financial, personnel or equipment resources that many competitors possess. Because of our lack of resources we may not be able to adequately withstand the competitive forces that exist in the mining industry generally and specifically with respect to gold mining.

Regulations

Mineral rights in the United Republic of Tanzania are governed by the Mining Act of 1998 and The Mining (Mineral Rights) Regulations, 2010 and control over minerals is vested in the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania. Prospecting for minerals may only be conducted under authority of a mineral right granted by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals under this Act.

The three types of mineral rights most often encountered, and those which are applicable to us include: prospecting licenses; retention licenses; and mining licenses. A prospecting license grants the holder thereof the exclusive right to prospect in the area covered by the license for all minerals, other than building stone and gemstones, for an initial period of four years. Thereafter, the license is renewable for two further periods of three and two years consecutively. On each renewal of a prospecting license, 50 percent of the area covered by the license must be relinquished. The maximum initial area for a prospecting license is 300 square kilometers. A company applying for a prospecting license must, inter alia, state the financial and technical resources available to it. A retention license can also be requested from the Minister, after the expiry of the 4-3-2-year prospecting license period, for reasons ranging from funds to technical considerations.

Mining is carried out through either a mining license or a special mining license or a primary mining license, all three of which confer on the holder thereof the exclusive right to conduct mining operations in or on the area covered by the license. A mining license is granted for a period of 10 years and is renewable for a further period of 10 years. A special mining license is granted for a period of 25 years and is renewable for the estimated life of the ore body or such period as the applicant may request whichever period is shorter. If the holder of a prospecting license has identified a mineral deposit within the prospecting area which is potentially of commercial significance, but it cannot be developed immediately by reason of technical constraints, adverse market conditions or other economic factors of a temporary character, the holder can apply for a retention license which will entitle the holder thereof to apply for a special mining license when the holder sees fit to proceed with mining operations.

A retention license is valid for a period of five years and is thereafter renewable for a single period of five years. A mineral right may be freely transferred by the holder thereof to another person, except in the case a mining license, which must have the approval of the Ministry to be assigned.

However, this approval requirement for the assignment of a mining license will not apply if the mining license is assigned to an affiliate company of the holder or to a financial institution or bank as security for any loan or guarantee in respect of mining operations.

The holder of a mineral right may enter into a development agreement with the Ministry to guarantee the fiscal stability of a long-term mining project and to make special provision for the payment of royalties, taxes, fees and other fiscal imposts.

We have complied with all applicable requirements and the relevant licenses have been issued.

Environmental Law

We are also subject to Tanzania laws dealing with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. While in the exploration stage, on any of our project areas, we are conscious of any environmental impact we may be having. However, our obligations are very limited, as our activities cause minimal environmental disturbances and are limited to mapping, sampling, trenching, geophysical surveying and drilling. Once project areas reach a point of being commercially feasible for mining then we will be required to conduct proper environmental impact studies based on feasibility reports and planned mining operations. We do protect the environment through any regulations affecting:

Subsidiaries

We have four wholly owned subsidiaries. Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc., a US corporation, Lake Victoria Resources (T) Limited, Chrysos 197 Company Tanzania Ltd and Jin 179 Company Tanzania Ltd. which are Tanzanian corporations.

Employees

We have eight full-time employees. On April 26, 2011, we entered into employment and contract agreements with our officers and directors. Our president David Kalenuik and secretary Heidi Kalenuik agreed to handle our administrative duties. See “Item 11. Executive Compensation – Employment Agreements”, below.

To the extent possible we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor and exploration work on our properties. Lake Victoria Resources (T) Limited, our wholly owned Tanzania subsidiary may hire subcontractors and employees to complete exploration work. A large skilled and unskilled workforce is readily available within Tanzania to satisfy any labor requirements we may have. Through contractors and skilled professional employees we do provide any necessary on the job training to accomplish our exploration objectives.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.

Risks Associated with Mining

All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral reserve on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral reserve in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.

Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established a mineral reserve on any of our properties as defined by NI43-101 regulations and by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/industryguides.pdf) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a “reserve” that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any ‘reserve’ and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.


8

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those reserves. Both mineral exploration and mineral developments involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral reserves unprofitable.

Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral reserve in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral reserve. If we cannot exploit any mineral reserve that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

Our business activities are conducted in Tanzania.

Our mineral exploration activities in Tanzania may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry and to foreign investment in that country. The government of Tanzania may institute regulatory policies that adversely affect the exploration and development of properties. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Investors should assess the political and regulatory risks related to our foreign country investments. Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

We may not have clear title to our properties.

Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and titles to our properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfers, or undetected defects. Several of our prospecting licenses are currently subject to renewal by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania. As a result, there is a risk that we may not have clear title to all our mineral property interests, or they may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future.

If we establish the existence of a mineral reserve on any of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.

If we do discover mineral reserves in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a reserve will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.


9

Mineral exploration, development and production involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral reserves and, if we discover a mineral reserve in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of minerals, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets, resulting in the loss of your entire investment in our company.

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.

We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals such as gold, silver and copper. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.

The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.

In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.

If our costs of exploration are greater than anticipated, then we may not be able to complete the exploration program for our Tanzanian properties without additional financing, of which there is no assurance that we would be able to obtain.

We are proceeding with the initial stages of exploration on our Tanzanian properties. We are carrying out an exploration program that has been recommended by a consulting geologist. This exploration program outlines a budget for completion of the recommended exploration program. However, there is no assurance that our actual costs will not exceed the budgeted costs. Factors that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices due to competition for personnel and supplies during the exploration season, unanticipated problems in completing the exploration program and delays experienced in completing the exploration program. Increases in exploration costs could result in our not being able to carry out our exploration program without additional financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing in this event.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

We are in the initial stage of exploration of our mineral property, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other valuable minerals on our Tanzanian properties.


10

The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other valuable minerals in our mineral property. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us on our exploration program may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

Cost estimates and timing of our Kinyambwiga small scale mining project and new projects is uncertain, which may adversely affect our expected production and profitability.

The capital expenditures and time required to develop and explore our properties are considerable and changes in costs, construction schedules or both, can adversely affect project economics and expected production and profitability. There are a number of factors that can affect costs and construction schedules, including, among others:

  •   changes in input commodity prices and labor costs;
  •   availability and terms of financing;
  •   availability of labor, energy, transportation, equipment, and infrastructure;
  •   fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
  changes in anticipated tonnage, grade and metallurgical characteristics of the ore to be mined and processed;
  •   recovery rates of gold and other metals from the ore;
  •   difficulty of estimating construction costs over a period of years;
  •   weather and severe climate impacts; and
  •   potential delays related to social and community issues.

Mineralized targets and other mineralized material calculations are estimates only, and are subject to uncertainty due to factors including metal prices, inherent variability of the ore and recoverability of metal in the mining process. The calculation of mineral mineralized targets, other mineralized material and grading are estimates and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences or assumptions drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unpredictable.

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of mineralized targets and corresponding grades. Until mineralized targets and other mineralized materials are actually mined and processed, the quantity of ore and grades must be considered as an estimate only. In addition, the quantity of mineralized targets and other mineralized materials and ore may vary depending on metal prices, which largely determine whether mineralized targets and other mineralized materials are classified as ore (economic to mine) or waste (uneconomic to mine). A decline in metal prices may result in previously reported mineralized targets (ore) becoming uneconomic to mine (waste). Any material change in the quantity of mineralized targets, other mineralized materials, mineralization, grade or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of our properties. In addition, we can provide no assurance that gold recoveries or other metal recoveries experienced in small- scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production.

We may not achieve our production and/or sales estimates and our costs may be higher than our estimates, thereby reducing our cash flows and negatively impacting our results of operations.

We prepare estimates of future production, sales, and costs for our operations. We develop our estimates based on, among other things, mining experience, mineralized targets and other mineralized material estimates, assumptions regarding ground conditions and physical characteristics of ores (such as hardness and presence or absence of certain metallurgical characteristics) and estimated rates and costs of mining and processing. All of our estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual production and/or sales may be lower than our estimates and our actual costs may be higher than our estimates, which could negatively impact our cash flows and results of operations. While we believe that our estimates are reasonable at the time they are made, actual results will vary and such variations may be material. These estimates are necessarily speculative in nature, and it may be the case that one or more of the assumptions underlying such projections and estimates may not materialize. Investors in our common stock are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the projections and estimates set forth in this Form 10-K.


11

Because our executive officers have limited experience in mineral exploration and do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk that our business will fail.

Our executive officers have limited experience in mineral exploration and do not have formal training as geologists or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral resource exploration company. As a result of this inexperience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan for the exploration of our mineral property. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral resource exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, the lack of training and experience of our management in this industry could result in management making decisions that could result in a reduced likelihood of our being able to locate commercially exploitable reserves on our mineral property with the result that we would not be able to achieve revenues or raise further financing to continue exploration activities. In addition, we will have to rely on the technical services of others with expertise in geological exploration in order for us to carry out our planned exploration program. If we are unable to contract for the services of such individuals, it will make it difficult and maybe impossible to pursue our business plan. There is thus a higher risk that our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm and our business will likely fail.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.

Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock prices for junior mineral exploration companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.


12

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. We are engaged in the business of identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing commercial reserves of primarily gold. Our properties are in the exploration stage only although we have achieved environmental (EIA) approval and a Mining License to commence gold mining on the mineralized target in one of our gold projects. This project does not contain a compliant gold reserve as defined by Canadian NI43-101 regulations nor the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7. We have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of gold, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Risks Related to Our Company

Our by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors.

Our by-laws provide the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent legally permissible under the Nevada corporate law against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding. Furthermore, our by-laws provide that our board of directors may cause our company to purchase and maintain insurance for our directors and officers, and we have implemented director and officer insurance coverage.

Because most of our directors and officers are residents of other countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our directors and officers.

Most of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Prospective Projects and Properties

The following map is a gold project location map (Map 1). For a detailed listing see Licenses – Gold Projects and License List (Table 1).

Map 1: Gold Project Location Map, March 2014

Prospective Gold Projects

The following is a brief overview of our portfolio of prospective mineral properties, the exploration developments on them where applicable and some of the details of the historical option agreements for them. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, no exploration was undertaken on any of the gold projects..

Musoma Bunda Murangi Gold Project
The Musoma Bunda Murangi Project is comprised of 1 Prospecting and 1 Mining License, covering 9.12 and 5.12 square kilometers respectively. In 2013, the original 39 PMLs, totaling 3.44 square kilometres located on the Kinyambwiga PL4653/2007 were amalgamated and incorporated back within the PL (5 July 2013). This was undertaken in order to facilitate the application for a Mining License (Map 2).

On August 2, 2013, The Company completed and filed an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment report for the Kinyambwiga mining project covering the amalgamated 39 PMLs with the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) on August 2, 2013. The Environmental Certificate was approved by January 7th 2014. This was shortly followed by the submission of the Mining application to the Ministry of Mines.


15

No field exploration was undertaken during this reporting period on the Kinyambwiga (PL4653/2007). A trial test pit was dug by excavator at the proposed Kanunga Mine site on the Kinyambwiga Project in February 2013 to evaluate the upper saprolite horizon for geotechnical studies.

Exploration Strategy
The Kinyambwiga License has been reduced from the original 30.90 square kilometers to 13.47 square kilometers as part of the required Government relinquishment of 50 percent of the ground holdings on License renewal. Part of the License area comprised of 39 PML’s which have subsequently been amalgamated into a Mining License. The Prospecting License area now includes a Mining License, and covers a total area 14.24 square kilometres. The southern part of the License area, was largely covered by dark gray to black, clay rich soil and is underlain by granitic rocks with no known artisanal workings, was relinquished. The Company maintained the northern part of the License which is host to the Kanunga 1, 2 and 3 artisanal or small scale mine sites. The relinquished area is currently under application on account of a soil anomaly in the NE corner of the License.

The relatively recent artisanal small scale mining site, located 1 kilometer along strike to the east of Kanunga 2, was abandoned by the artisanal miners. Furthermore, the artisanal miners that were mining the surface quartz rubble at Kanunga 3 in the northern part of the license have ceased operations and have also left the site.

Map 2: Plan showing the outline of the 39 amalgamated PMLs (purple outline) which have subsequently been included within the Mining License (ML 520/2014 in red) that lie within the Kinyambwiga License PL4653/2007.


The Kanunga 1 Prospect has been earmarked for commercial small scale mining operations that are expected to proceed once necessary funding has been obtained. The ESIA report, completed by TANSHEQ a local Tanzanian consulting firm specializing in Environmental Management, was approved by the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) on the 23rd December 2013 and the Environmental Certificate was issued to Lake Victoria Resources (T) Ltd on the 7 January 2014. An application for the Mining License, covering the amalgamated 39 PMLs, together with the required Environmental Certificate, was submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals early in 2014. A slight revision of the proposed Mining License was requested by the Ministry of Mines in order to reduce the amount of corner beacons presented by the current PML layout and which has subsequently increased the surface area to 5.12 square kilometres (Map 2). The Mining License ML520/2014 was offered by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania (MEM) on April 1, 2014 and officially received on June 2, 2014.


16

A scoping study covering metallurgical test work, mine planning, mine scheduling (details of which were included in the 1st Quarter Report 2013) and preliminary financial evaluations has been prepared. A capital investment of US$3M is an estimated requirement for building the project.

Mine Planning

The Kanunga 1 Prospect consists of a small, conceptual gold target that is based on 40 meter spaced reverse circulation drill sections and trenches and may contain gold bearing mineralized material of between 600,000 and 1,000,000 tonnes. The estimated gold grades are between 1.50 and 2.00 g/t. The mineralized area which lies in three vein structures at Kanunga 1, is within the first 150 and 200 meters of surface. Continuity of the narrow quartz veins appears to extend along a strike length for about 500 meters.

The potential quantity and grade of these targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The conceptual target has been determined on the results of trenching, mapping, geophysics and both RC and RAB drilling.

It is currently proposed to mine the mineralization by open pit mining methods using an excavator and trucks to transport the ore to an onsite processing plant. A vertical test pit to a depth of 8 meters was excavated in granitic saprolite (host rock) at site using a Caterpillar 320 excavator in a relatively short time of 3 hours. The results of the test pit proved good retaining rock wall strength, ease of excavation and the lack of ground water.

The proposed site plan showing location of pit, waste dumps and processing plant is shown in Map 3.

Map 3: Site plan map showing the proposed position of the rock waste dump, tailings dam and the mine open pit. Also shown is a 100 meter and a 200 meter buffer zone around the mine open pit which represents an area of non-inhabitation and limited farming activities, which are required by the Mining Act of Tanzania.



17

Based on the results of the test pit, a pit slope of 55-60 degrees was re-modeled for the open pit, using 10 meter and 7 meter benches (Map 4 & Map 5). At this time, the deepest bench in the 40m deep pit would be steeper depending upon the reach of the equipment and rock strength of the pit walls.

The rock dump and tailings dam have been re-designed (Map 6 & 7) to accommodate approximately 1.5M tons and 260,000 tons respectively; this is the estimated amount of rock to be mined to a depth of 40 meters.

Mining License

The Environmental Impact Assessment (ESIA) report, completed by TANSHEQ, a local Tanzanian consulting firm specializing in Environmental Management, was submitted to the Tanzanian Government’s National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) on the 2nd August 2013 and was approved on the 23rd December 2013. The company received the approved report on January 7th, 2014 (see news release dated January 9th, 2014). The Company has been awarded the Environmental Certificate of approval, registration number EC/EIS/1106, issued under the Environmental Management Act No.20 of 2004 and signed by the Tanzanian Minister of Environment. The EIA Certificate is valid during the entire life cycle of the project based on the Company’s compliance with the General and Specific Conditions of its issuance.

The Company has already completed the Mining and Processing License Application to cover not only the Kanunga Prospect but also the 39 amalgamated Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) previously held by the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary. The area, totalling 5.12 square kilometers also includes the 2 other known gold occurrences at Kanunga 2 and 3. The Mining application was submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in January 2014 and a Mining License was granted in April 2014, and is valid for an initial period of 10 years.

Future work

With the Mining and Processing application approval and a Mining License being awarded by the Ministry Energy and Minerals, the Company will be in a position to proceed with the proposed mine plan once the necessary funding has been obtained. Future exploration on the mining license will be primarily focused at Kunanga 1, 2 and 3 with the focus on defining additional gold resources to feed the gold processing plant (Map 8).

Map 8: Exploration strategy proposed on the Mining License


A prospective exploration area lies to the east of the Kanunga 1 Prospect and is referred to as the Kanunga School Anomaly. With the Mining License approval, the Company will be in the position to make application for the area in order to do follow-up investigations at this gold anomaly.

An anomalous stone layer, as encountered from previous RAB (rotary air blast) drilling during 2009 as well as the soil anomaly over the school zone, requires further investigation. A number of auger drill traverses are planned to test the strike towards the SW where a number of anomalous soil samples are present (Map 9). Since this area was previously relinquished as part of the government’s requirement to reduce the PL area by 50 percent, an application to renew the area of “shed-off” was filed with the Ministry of Mines.

Map 9: Kanunga 1 East and School soil anomalies


The  influx of +500 artisanal miners at the Kanunga 3 Prospect, situated approximately 1 kilometer to the north of Kanunga 1 (Map 10), was short lived. After processing some of the surface quartz gravels, the miners migrated elsewhere and off the license. The prospect consists of abundant quartz float covering an area of 200 meters x 200 meters which has been the site for periodic artisanal activity over the years. Trenching and reverse circulation drilling intersected a number of narrow discontinuous quartz veins (Map 11).

Singida Gold Project

No exploration work has been undertaken since 31st March 2013.

Future exploration

An evaluation of the Reverse Circulation drill results for both Phase 1 and 2 programs undertaken during 2010 and 2011 has shown that gold mineralization at the Singida-Londoni project consists of narrow, medium to low grade and often discontinuous lenses. The shear structures hosting the gold-rich zones typically “pinch and swell” along strike, which in places, has resulted in larger pods of limited size as at Sambaru 3 and Sambaru 4 which indicates that the gold deposits have limited potential to be developed into a major ore resource contrary to the Company’s vision of discovering substantially larger and economically viable gold deposits in the short term. In this regard, the Company believes that the nature and extent of the mineralization revealed thus far may lend itself towards a small-scale commercial mining operation. The Company intends to explore the possibilities of undertaking a small scale mining operation on a number of PMLs once a scoping study has been completed.

Although the Company completed a Technical report in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 prior to the September 2010 revised 43-101 code, the report was not submitted. Plans call for the report to be prepared under the revised 43-101 guidelines.

Buhemba Gold Projects

The Buhemba Gold projects initially comprised of the Kiabakari East (PL7142/2007) and the recently acquired Maji Moto (HQ-P23869) licenses. However, The Maji Moto license was revoked by theTanzanian Ministry of Mines during the year due to Company’s financial constraiints in fulfilling license payments.

No exploration work has been undertaken on the Kiabakari License since 31st March 2013,

Kiabakari East (PL7142/2011)

The Kiabakari East Project is located approximately 55 kilometers southeast of Musoma town, in the Mara Region. The License PL7142/2011 covers 14.94 square kilometers and lies within the central part of the Musoma-Mara Greenstone Belt. The license was granted to Lake Victoria Resources by the Ministry of Mines in April 2011.

Future exploration

Metallurgical test work is to be undertaken on the oxide rock material taken from artisanal workings and from surface trenches as part of the scoping study. This tese work will help determine the viability of commencing an open pit/underground small scale mining operation at BIF Hill (Map 12). Due to the moderate to steep easterly plunge of the gold zone, a follow-up reverse circulation drill program has limited potential other than to evaluate a near surface resource and will be unable to test east plunging down-dip extensions of the gold ore shoot. A substantial diamond drill program will be required to evaluate the easterly down plunging gold mineralization.
In order to obtain short term revenue for the project, a small scale open pit mining operation could be possible once an RC drill program has defined a near surface gold resource. Alternatively, in order to get a better understanding of the geology and gold mineralization, the Company could consider developing a north trending underground adit from the southern side at the base of the hill.

Uyowa Gold Project

The Uyowa Gold project, located 120 kilometers northwest of Tabora town, previously consisted of seven (7) Prospecting Licenses (PLs) that initially covered a total area of 729.73 square kilometers in the west-central area of Tanzania. Due to increased Ministerial costs of annual renewals coupled with the Company’s objective to focus its exploration efforts on potentially more viable ground holding, the number of licenses was reduced to one PL amounting to 29.17 square kilometers which was relingusihed during the last fiscal year(Map 13).

Four PMLs on PL5153/2008 were optioned to the Company but have subsequently been returned to their respective owners. No exploration work was undertaken on the License during the year. All licenses under Uyowa gold project were relinquished.

Handeni Gold Project

The Handeni Project, comprising of the Mkulima East Prospect PL7148/2011 and covering a total area of 12.03 square kilometers, is located approximately 240 kilometers by road north-west of Dar es Salaam and some 30 kilometers south of Handeni town within the Handeni District (Map 14).

The license PL7148/2011 was relinquished in April 2015.

Exploration

No exploration has been undertaken on the Handeni Project since 2013.

Previous exploration involving stream sediment sampling and soil sampling programs outlined four, northwest trending low threshold gold-in-soil anomalies. These gold anomalies have an overall strike length of 1.5 kilometers, and lie on both sides of the NNW trending Mkulima Hill (Map 15).

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual 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. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.

Our audited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Plan of Operation

As of March 31, 2015, we had working deficit of approximately $1,683,000. We plan to spend approximately $400,000 for our property acquisitions and $2,000,000 for development and production of small scale mining in Kinyambwiga project and exploration activities on other projects. We will need to raise additional funds to finance the activities on our projects. There is no assurance that such financing will be available at this time.

In September 2012, the Company offered a total of up to 120 royalty units to raise a gross amount of $3,000,000 for a small scale mining operation on the Kinyambwiga property. Each unit will entitle investors to receive ½ of 1 percent (1%) of the net proceeds of production from the small scale mining operation at Kinyambwiga. Up to 60% of the net proceeds of gold production are offered to investors. As of March 31, 2015 the Company received subscription payments of $1,125,000 for 45 units.

During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company entered into forward gold sales agreements to sell a total of 112.37 oz of gold from the future gold production from the Kinyambwiga project. Under these agreements, the Company committed to deliver the specified quantities of gold with delivery dates ranging from December 2014 through November 2015.


29

The forward gold sales agreements for 31.94 oz of gold with delivery dates ranging from December 2014 through April 2015 have a clause in the agreements whereby the Company’s failure to meet the minimum monthly production and monthly gold distribution schedules specified in the agreements results in a penalty premium equal to the US Bond Interest Rate per annum of the remaining balance of the distributable gold. As at March 31, 2015, the Company accrued $Nil in penalty premium payable under these agreements as the amount of penalties payable was minimal. The remaining forward gold sales agreements entered into subsequent to March 31, 2014 and accounting for 80.43 oz do not have the clauses of the interest penalty and the mandatory conversion into common shares of the Company.

In addition, if the minimum production and gold distribution schedules are not met for 6 months out of 9 consecutive months, the Company is required to convert the remaining gold deliverable to common shares based on the 30-day weighted average market price of the Company’s stock. As at June 29, 2015, the Company was not yet required to convert any gold deliverables into common shares.

Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are as follows:

Cash Requirements during the Next Twelve Months

Expense   ($)
Property acquisition and holding costs   400,000

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases for services and economic conditions. Because we do not currently derive any production revenue from operations, our ability to conduct exploration and development on properties is largely based upon our ability to raise capital by equity funding.

Our exploration objective is to find an economic mineral body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our contracted consultants and professional staff whether the property contains resources and/or reserves. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average percentage grade of metals to justify removal. If we don’t find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do so or because it is not economically feasible to do so, we will cease operations or seek other properties.

In addition, we may not have enough capital to complete exploration of our properties. If we have not raised sufficient funds to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from another equity or debt offering or rely on loans from shareholders. If we require additional funds and are unable to raise the required amounts, we will have to suspend or cease operations until we succeed in raising the additional funds.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the financial years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 which are included herein.

Our operating results for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

    Years Ended  
    March 31,  
    2015     2014  
Revenue $  -   $  -  
Operating Expenses   1,555,019     1,169,186  
Other Income (Expenses)   65,547     224,468  
Net Loss $  1,489,472   $  944,718

Revenue

We had no operating revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. We do not anticipate earning any revenue from our operations until such time as we have entered into commercial production at one or more of our mineral projects or we sell one or more of our mineral properties. We are currently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover a reserve on our properties or, if we do discover a reserve that we will be able to enter into commercial production.

Operating Costs and Expenses

The major components of our expenses for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are outlined in the table below:

    For the Year Ended  
    March 31,  
    2015     2014  
   $    
EXPENSES            
   Amortization and depreciation   30,236     38,399  
   Exploration costs   122,592     190,398  
   General and administrative   159,788     221,576  
   Impairment of mineral property acquisition costs   251,250     90,000  
   Management and director fees   36,000     36,000  
   Professional fees   141,847     102,962  
   Salaries   443,820     464,393  
   Stock-based compensation   355,097      
   Travel and accommodation   14,389     25,458  
Total Operating Expenses   1,555,019     1,169,186  

The decrease of $61,788 in our general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2014 was primarily due to decreases in mineral claim holding costs and decreased insurance and communication expenses all of which offset government increased filing fees.

Exploration costs were decreased by $67,806 to $122,592 during the current period mainly because of a decrease in licenses holding costs and in our geologist’s salary.

Professional fees for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 increased to $141,847 compared to $102,962 for the same period of 2014. A main factor is the increased business consulting services during the last fiscal year.

In 2011, we paid $251,250 to acquire mineral property interests at the Handeni Project. As of March 31, 2015, we assessed our mineral properties and recognized an impairment loss on acquisition costs of $251,250 compared to impairment loss of $90,000 recognized in 2014.

We had a cash balance of $150,530 and working deficit of 1,682,704 as of March 31, 2015 compared to cash of $34,022 and working deficit of $1,739,816 as of March 31, 2014. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $3,000,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months.

On March 20, 2015, the Company completed a private placement of 2,375,000 units at $0.04 per unit for total consideration of $95,000.

On February 23, 2015, the Company completed a private placement of 10,000,000 units at $0.015 per unit for total consideration of $150,000.

On February 12, 2015, the Company signed debt settlement and subscription agreement with a consultant to settle a consulting fee of $55,000 for business consulting services provided. On February 23, 2015, the Company issued 1,000,000 restricted shares of common stock at a fair value of $0.055 per share to settle the outstanding balance. The shares were valued at $55,000 representing their fair value on the date of the agreement.

On December 19, 2014, the Company completed a private placement of 24,400,000 units at $0.025 per unit for gross consideration of $610,000. The shares are accompanied by a gold bonus distribution of a total of 244 ounces of 0.999 percent gold during the first 480 days of commercial gold production. The gold bonus distribution plan contains a feature where the Company retains the option to convert the gold bonus into common shares of the Company at a rate of $0.025 per share based on the spot price per ounce of gold on the payment date. At March 31, 2015, the fair value of the gold bonus was estimated to be $Nil.

Going Concern

The audited financial statements accompanying our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash of $150,530 and we estimate that we will require approximately $500,000 for general and administration costs and professional fees, and $400,000 for property acquisition holding and exploration costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. We do not have sufficient funds for general and administration activities and we do not have sufficient funds for planned mineral property acquisition and exploration activities. Therefore we will be required to raise additional funds. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders.

The advancement of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. 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.

Future Financings

We had a cash balance of $150,530 and working deficit of $1,682,704 as of March 31, 2015 compared to cash of $34,022 and working capital of $1,739,816 as of March 31, 2014 and we estimate that we will require approximately $3,700,000 for costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds for planned operations and we will be required to raise additional funds for operations. We intend to raise additional funds from another equity offering or loans. If we need additional funds and are unable to raise them, we will have to suspend or cease operations until we succeed in raising additional funds.


32

Outstanding shares and options

On December 7, 2010, our shareholders approved a resolution to amend the articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2015, we have 152,329,067 shares of common stock outstanding and 10,000,000 stock options outstanding.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following are the accounting policies that we consider to be critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and those that require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as results of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are subject to a degree of uncertainty.

Business Combinations

We follow the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. The non-controlling interest recognized at March 31, 2010 was previously the minority interest held by certain passive shareholders at the consolidated financial statement level of Kilimanjaro, and whose interests were eliminated for accounting purposes by the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. We, after August 7, 2009, have had no further non-controlling interests.

As of March 31, 2015, a cumulative loss of $8,719,455 had been attributed to the non-controlling interest of the Company’s controlled subsidiary.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As of March 31, 2015, we had 10,000,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance or may be redeemed without significant penalties to be cash equivalents.

As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has approximately $1,400 and $1,900, respectively, deposited at FDIC insured banks in the United States. FDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor’s account up to $250,000 per insured bank.

As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has approximately $131,000 and $26,000, respectively, deposited in banks in Canada. CDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor’s account up to $100,000 per insured bank. These deposits include $5,457 (CAD$6,900) and $6,237 (CAD$ 6,900), respectively, of guaranteed investment certificates bearing variable interest at prime rate less 1.90% which is restricted in use for corporation credit cards.


33

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has Tanzania shillings of 7,000,000 (approximately $3,700) and $13,700 deposited in Tanzania. The Deposit Insurance Board in Tanzania insures up to 1,500,000 Tanzanian Shillings (approximately $800 as of March 31, 2015) per customer per bank. Any amount beyond the basic insurance amount may expose the Company to loss.

Mineral Property Costs

Under US GAAP mineral property acquisition costs are ordinarily capitalized when incurred using FASB ASC Topic 805-20-55-37, Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The carrying costs are assessed for impairment under ASC Topic 360-36-10-35-20, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable. The Company expenses as incurred all property maintenance and exploration costs.

The Company also evaluates the carrying value of acquired mineral property rights in accordance with ASC Topic 930-360-35-1, Mining Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations, using the Value Beyond Proven and Probable (VBPP) method. The fair value of a mining asset generally includes both VBPP and an estimate of the future market price of the minerals.

When the Company has capitalized mineral property costs, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value. Once a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method. The Company records its interests in mining properties and areas of geological interest at cost. The Company has capitalized mineral properties costs of $250,150 and $501,400 as at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company has recognized impairment charges of $251,250 and $90,000 for the years ended at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which were determined not be recoverable and therefore, were written down to their estimated fair values of $Nil.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment we tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We account for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations which requires we to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. We did not have any asset retirement obligations as of March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 740, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.


34

To the extent that we incur transactions that are not denominated in our functional currency, they are undertaken in Canadian dollars and in Tanzanian Schillings. A portion of business transactions in Tanzania and mineral option purchase agreements are denominated in Tanzanian Schillings. We have not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Segment Information

At March 31, 2015, approximately $18,000 of property and equipment (2014 - $44,000) is located in Tanzania and $4,000 (2014 - $8,000) in Canada. Mineral properties totaling $250,150 (2014 - $501,400) are located in Tanzania. Although Tanzania is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, we have had no items that represent an other comprehensive loss, and therefore have not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The updated guidance requires an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carryforwards are not available or would not be used by the entity to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax position. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2014. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2014. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Discontinued Operations (Topic 205 and 360) which changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. The updated guidance requires an entity to only classify discontinued operations due to a major strategic shift or a major effect on an entity’s operations in the financial statements. The updated guidance will also require additional disclosures relating to discontinued operations. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of fiscal year April 1, 2014. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


35

In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock based performance awards for which the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of the pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. This ASU does the following among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275, Risks and Uncertainties, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU as of April 1, 2014.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company is evaluating the impact the revised guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, has accumulated losses since inception and has no revenue. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

   

Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company’s administrative office is located in Vancouver, Canada.

   

The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition of, and the exploration for valuable minerals. The Company primarily conducts exploration activities for gold on properties located in Tanzania, East Africa. Assuming funding is available, the Company plans to identify, build and run one or more small-scale gold mines on mineral properties within the Company’s Tanzanian mining licenses. The Company has been in the exploration stage since inception and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.

   

As of March 31, 2015, none of the Company’s mineral property interests had proven or probable reserves as determined under the requirements of SEC Industry Guide No. 7. The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional debt or equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,682,704 and an accumulated deficit of $20,205,089 as at March 31, 2015. The Company also has no revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings to provide funds needed to continue the exploration for gold. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


 

a)

Basis of Presentation

 

 

 

 

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc. (“Kilimanjaro”), Lake Victoria Resources Company, (T) Ltd., Jin 179 Company Tanzania Ltd. and Chrysos 197 Company Tanzania Ltd. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31.

 

 

 

 

b)

Use of Estimates

 

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to valuation of long-lived assets, mineral property costs, asset retirement obligations, forward gold sale liability, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

 

 

 

c)

Business Combinations

 

 

 

 

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. The net loss attributable to non-controlling interest recognized during the period from December 11, 2006 (date of inception) to March 31, 2015 was previously the minority interest held by certain passive shareholders at the consolidated financial statement level of Kilimanjaro, and whose interests were eliminated for accounting purposes by the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. The Company, after August 7, 2009, had no further non-controlling interests. As of March 31, 2015, a cumulative loss of $8,719,455 had been attributed to the non-controlling interest of the Company’s subsidiary.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


 

d)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

 

 

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had 10,000,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

 

 

 

e)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

 

 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance or may be redeemed without significant penalties to be cash equivalents.

 

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has approximately $1,400 and $1,900, respectively, deposited at FDIC insured banks in the United States. FDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor’s account up to $250,000 per insured bank.

 

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has approximately $131,000 and $26,000, respectively, deposited in banks in Canada. CDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor’s account up to $100,000 per insured bank. These deposits include $5,457 (CAD$6,900) and $6,237 (CAD$6,900), respectively, of guaranteed investment certificates bearing variable interest at prime rate less 1.90% which is restricted in use for corporation credit cards.

 

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has Tanzania shillings of 7,000,000 (approximately $3,700) and $13,700 deposited in Tanzania. The Deposit Insurance Board in Tanzania insures up to 1,500,000 Tanzanian Shillings (approximately $800 as of March 31, 2015) per customer per bank. Any amount beyond the basic insurance amount may expose the Company to loss.

 

 

 

 

f)

Property and Equipment

 

 

 

 

Property and equipment consists of mining tools and equipment, furniture and equipment and computers and software which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected lives of five years.

 

 

 

 

g)

Mineral Property Costs

 

 

 

 

Under US GAAP mineral property acquisition costs are ordinarily capitalized when incurred using ASC 805- 20-55-37, whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The carrying costs are assessed for impairment under ASC 360-10-35-21, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable. The Company expenses as incurred all property maintenance and exploration costs.

 

 

 

 

The Company also evaluates the carrying value of acquired mineral property rights in accordance with ASC 930-360-35-1, Mining Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations, using the Value Beyond Proven and Probable (VBPP) method. The fair value of a mining asset generally includes both VBPP and an estimate of the future market price of the minerals.

 

 

 

 

When the Company has capitalized mineral property development costs, these properties will be assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable. Once a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method. The Company records its interests in mining properties and areas of geological interest at cost.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)


 

h)

Long-Lived Assets

 

 

 

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

 

 

 

 

i)

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

 

 

 

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations which requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company did not have any asset retirement obligations as of March 31, 2015.

 

 

 

 

j)

Financial Instruments

 

 

 

 

ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

 

 

Level 1

 

 

 

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

Level 2

 

 

 

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

 

 

 

Level 3

 

 

 

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accounts payable to related party, other payables, note payable, loans payable and forward gold sale liability.

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

 

 

 

 

The Company has classified its forward gold sales liability as a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative liability is determined based on “Level 2” inputs. The initial forward sale of gold is recorded at the fair value of consideration received. The forward gold sale liability is revalued to fair value at each subsequent reporting period end based on quoted gold prices at re-valuation dates with any increase or decrease in the fair value of the liability being recognized through comprehensive income or loss.

 

 

 

 

The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts payable, accounts payable to related party, other payables, note payable and loans payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

k)

Foreign Currency Translation

 

 

 

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 740, Foreign Currency Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

 

 

 

 

To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in Canadian dollars and the Tanzanian Schillings. A portion of business transactions in Tanzania and mineral option purchase agreements are denominated in Tanzanian Schillings. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

 

 

 

l)

Segment Information

 

 

 

 

At March 31, 2015, approximately $18,000 of property and equipment (2014 - $44,000) is located in Tanzania and $4,000 (2014 - $8,000) in Canada. Mineral properties totaling $250,150 (2014 - $501,400) are located in Tanzania. Although Tanzania is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

 

 

 

 

m)

Comprehensive Loss

 

 

 

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of other comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive loss, and therefore has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

n)

Income Taxes

     

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


 

o)

Stock-Based Compensation

 

 

 

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

 

 

 

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

 

 

 

 

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.


 

p)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

In July 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The updated guidance requires an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carryforwards are not available or would not be used by the entity to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax position. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2014. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2014. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Discontinued Operations (Topic 205 and 360) which changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. The updated guidance requires an entity to only classify discontinued operations due to a major strategic shift or a major effect on an entity’s operations in the financial statements. The updated guidance will also require additional disclosures relating to discontinued operations. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of fiscal year April 1, 2014. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock based performance awards for which the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of the pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

 

 

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. This ASU does the following among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275, Risks and Uncertainties, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU as of April 1, 2014.

 

 

 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company is evaluating the impact the revised guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Revenue and Forward Gold Sales Liability

 

 

On January 23, 2014, the Company agreed to forward sell a portion of its future gold production from the Kinyambwiga project (see Note 8(a)) to finance the capital costs of establishing a gold mine. As of March 31, 2014, an aggregate amount of $31,383 was received by the Company and recorded as deferred revenue as in management’s judgment, it was probable at the inception of the related contracts that the Company would physically settle the commitment with gold and therefore meet the normal sales and normal purchases exception for derivative accounting.

 

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, it was established that the Company would not be able to meet the physical delivery terms for the existing forward gold sales contracts in the foreseeable future (see Note 13(c)). As of March 31, 2015, an aggregate amount of $103,269 received by the Company during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was reclassified from deferred revenue to forward gold sales liability and accounted for as a derivative liability.

A reconciliation of the changes in the forward gold sales liability during the year is as follows:

      March 31,  
      2015  
  Balance, beginning of the year $  -  
  Reclassification from deferred revenues during the year   103,269  
  Fair value adjustment   25,508  
         
  Balance, end of the year $  128,777  

The investments of subscribers for the forward gold sales contracts are secured by in-ground gold assets. The Company also committed to allocate a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the initial gold production from the Kunanga medium scale gold mining project and deliver such gold to the subscribers for the forward gold sales contracts. In addition, the Company has secured the contracts by issuing a pro rate security chattel agreement over the mining license area granted to the Company for the Kinyambwiga project. The pro rata portion securing the purchaser will be based on the percentage of five million dollars that the purchaser’s aggregate forward gold purchase in dollars represents of the total.

7.

Note Payable

On July 26, 2014, the Company signed a finance agreement for $12,140 at an annual rate of 15.95% for an eleven-month period, payable in monthly installments of $1,104 for general liability insurance. On October 20, 2014, the Company amended the agreement and financed an additional $10,875 for directors and officers liability insurance. Total monthly installment payments increased to $2,546. As at March 31, 2015, the balance owing under the note payable was $3,947 (2014 – $6,007).

Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs

   

On May 4, 2009, Kilimanjaro completed a Property Acquisition Agreement (the “Geo Can Agreement”) with Geo Can. Under the terms of the agreement Kilimanjaro acquired a 100% interest in the mineral property assets, which included 33 gold prospecting licenses and 13 uranium licenses. Included in this agreement were the Kalemela project’s licenses, Geita project’s license, Uyowa Project’s licenses and Kinyambwiga project’s license and other projects’ licenses. Geo Can had entered into property option agreements, regarding some of these resource properties, with Lake Victoria before the share exchange agreement between Lake Victoria and Kilimanjaro on August 7, 2009, and as a consequence Geo Can no longer has any interest in those prior property agreements.

   

All of the Company’s mineral property interests are located in Tanzania. Geo Can holds resource properties in trust for the Company. Most of the resource property interests are still formally registered to Geo Can to defer registration fees. When the annual filing for each property comes due then the formal registration of each property will be transferred to Kilimanjaro or as directed by Kilimanjaro.

Commitments


  a)

On May 11, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide services as a Senior Geological Consultant. The Company’s original agreement was amended on October 21, 2010 and on December 23, 2012. Under the amended agreement, the Company is committed to:


 

i.

a monthly payment from $20,000 to $6,000 commencing July 1, 2012 and until the mechanical completion of the first small scale gold mining operation;

 

 

 

 

ii.

issuing 300,000 stock options to the Consultant on November 1, 2012 and 2013. The Company will only grant the Consultant the additional stock options when the Company achieves a positive operating cash flow and upon the approval by the board of directors.


 

b)

On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Misac Noubar Nabighian (the “Consultant”) to provide geophysical data processing and interpretation services to the Company in consideration for 0.5% of the net proceeds from the sale of any mining properties and granting the Consultant (a) a royalty on producing properties of $1.00 per ounce of gold produced or 0.25% of net smelter returns for all commercial production, whichever is greater, and (b) 0.25% of net smelter returns for all other commercial production.The agreement is for a term of 36 months and may be renewed at the option of the Company upon 30 days written notice.

 

 

 

 

c)

During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company entered into forward gold sales agreements to sell a total of 112.37 oz of gold from the future gold production from the Kinyambwiga project (see Note 6). Under these agreements, the Company committed to deliver the specified quantities of gold with delivery dates ranging from December 2014 through November 2015.

 

 

 

 

The forward gold sales agreements for 31.94 oz of gold with delivery dates ranging from December 2014 through April 2015 have a clause in the agreements whereby the Company’s failure to meet the minimum monthly production and monthly gold distribution schedules specified in the agreements results in a penalty premium equal to the US Bond Interest Rate per annum of the remaining balance of the distributable gold. As at March 31, 2015, the Company accrued $Nil in penalty premium payable under these agreements as the amount of penalties payable was minimal. The remaining forward gold sales agreements entered into subsequent to March 31, 2014 and accounting for 80.43 oz do not have the clauses of the interest penalty and the mandatory conversion into common shares of the Company.

 

 

 

 

In addition, if the minimum production and gold distribution schedules are not met for 6 months out of 9 consecutive months, the Company is required to convert the remaining gold deliverable to common shares based on the 30-day weighted average market price of the Company’s stock. As at March 31, 2015 and June 29, 2015, the Company was not yet required to convert any gold deliverables into common shares.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our company’s internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2015. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.


37

Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2015: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) is largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Business Experience

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience of each director and executive officer during at least the past five years, indicating each person’s principal occupation during the period, and the name and principal business of the organization by which he was employed.

David Kalenuik, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director

Mr. Kalenuik became a director and was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer on October 7, 2010. Mr. Kalenuik has spent the last 35 years primarily as founder and owner of his own businesses. These businesses have ranged from product or service oriented to investor relations for publicly traded companies. Since December 2006, David has been actively involved with Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc. and Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. in the identification, negotiation and acquisitions of mineral resource properties in Tanzania, East Africa. David as an International Businessman has extensive experience in start up operations, business development, strategic planning and management of both private and public companies. To date, he has been directly and indirectly responsible for the financing of each of the companies that he has been involved with. His previous experience includes being the President and Co-Founder of Larrearx, Inc./Larrea Biosciences Inc., a patented nutritional and health care supplements company, and, the President and Founder of Mitropolis Solutions Inc., a Vancouver based investor relations/investment banking firm that successfully financed and created public awareness programs for numerous public companies.


38

We believe Mr. Kalenuik is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his knowledge of our current operations, in addition to his business experiences described above.

Ming Zhu, Chief Financial Officer

Ming Zhu (B.Comm. MA) has worked along side the management team since 2006. Ming attained a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and Finance in 1995. He has more than 10 years’ experience specializing in corporate finance and accounting. His portfolio includes working for multinational companies as their finance manager in New York and China. He worked as a financial controller for an international trading firm for 2 years before graduating from the University of Newcastle in the UK with his Master's Degree in 2003 where he majored in Financial Analysis. He worked with a Canadian CA accounting firm prior to joining our management team as the Financial Controller and a Director in Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc., a gold and uranium exploration company that is now a wholly owned subsidiary. From August 2009, he has been served as the Financial Controller for us and on October 7, 2010 he became our Chief Financial Officer for us.

Heidi Kalenuik, Secretary, Treasurer and a Director

Heidi Kalenuik, originally from South Africa, was the founder and President of Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc., in December, 2006, a private company concentrating on resource property acquisitions, exploration and joint ventures in the United Republic of Tanzania. Ms. Kalenuik has been extensively involved in the precious mineral industry and has worked with over 150 private and public companies in British Columbia, Canada.

Heidi Kalenuik was appointed as an Officer and Director of Lake Victoria Mining Company in June 2008 due to her knowledge and working experience in Africa and her interest in our activities having been the President of Kilimanjaro Mining Company, now a wholly owned subsidiary. We believe Ms. Kalenuik is qualified to serve on our board of directors for the same reasons.

Roger Newell, Director

Roger Newell has been a director of our company since June 2008 and was our President, Principal Executive Officer from June 2008 to October 7, 2010. In December 2009 Dr. Newell was appointed an Independent Director of Midway Gold Corporation a Canadian public corporation that trades on both the Toronto TSX-V Exchange with symbol MDW and the US NYSE-AMEX also with symbol MDW; he retired from Midway’s Board of Directors on August 18th, 2014 but remains a Board Advsor. Midway Gold is a mineral exploration and development company with properties in the western United States.

In October 2007, Dr. Newell joined the management team as Executive Vice President and Director of Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc. a private company involved in the acquisition and exploration of highly prospective mineral resource properties in Tanzania, East Africa. In June 2008 Dr. Newell was appointed President and Director of Lake Victoria Mining Company (OTCBB; LVCA) in consideration of his history in gold exploration and mining. We believe Dr. Newell is qualified to serve on our board of directors for the same reasons. He holds an MSc in Geology from the Colorado School of Mines and a PhD in Mineral Exploration from Stanford University. He is a Registered Professional Geologist.

Dr. Newell served as Vice President-Development and a Board Member of Capital Gold Corp. (NYSE-AMEX;CGC and Toronto TSX;CGC) from 2000 to September 2007. As such he was responsible for much of Capital Gold’s engineering and business development at El Chanate Gold, Mexico and continued to serve on Capital Gold Corp’s Board of Directors until November 2009. He also served as President (2000 to 2006) of Capital Gold’s Mexican subsidiary, Minera Santa Rita.


39

Prior to this time at Capital Gold, he served as Exploration Manager/Senior Geologist for the Newmont Mining Company; Exploration Manager for Gold Fields Mining Company; and Vice President-Development, for Western Exploration Company.

Ahmed Magoma, Director

Ahmed Magoma has a B.Sc. in geology from the University of Dar es Salaam (1992) and 16 years of experience in the mining industry, wherein he has held progressively more responsible management and supervisory roles. Mr. Magoma joined Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc., in March of 2007, a private company involved in the acquisition and exploration of highly prospective resource properties in Tanzania, East Africa. Mr. Magoma has been a director of Geo Can Resources Company Ltd., a private company, from April 2007 to present. In addition to being a director with Kilimanjaro, Mr. Magoma is responsible for all resource property acquisitions, negotiations with property owners and government relations within Tanzania. His experience encompasses gold projects from grassroots through to mining production. His field experience includes working with Tanex, a subsidiary of DeBeers and other South African companies as a field geologist. Mr. Magoma worked with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in Tanzania for a period to learn, through study, the techniques of small-scale miners to enhance their production. Mr. Magoma has worked with major gold companies Barrick and Randgold as a project geologist and then as senior project geologist with Tanzanite Africa. From 2005 to December 2007, Mr. Magoma was the Senior Project Geologist for Tanzanite Africa Ltd., a private African company.

Mr. Magoma was appointed as a Director in Lake Victoria Mining Company in June 2008. He was considered for this position because of his familiarity with our projects and operations in Tanzania. His position as a Director, and his experience with the Mining Law along with his Tanzanian activities are very important and valuable to our programs. We believe Mr. Magoma is qualified to serve on our board of directors for the same reasons.

John J Surtherland, Director, Chair of Audit Committee

Mr. Sutherland, CPA, CGA, was the CFO of Grande West Transportation (BUS:TSX-V), a mid-size transit bus manufacturer from April, 2013 to May 2015. Previously, he was Vice President and CFO of Goldgroup Mining for five years. He was previously Vice President, Finance of Arequipa Resources Ltd. leading up to its acquisition by Barrick Gold. Previous board positions by Mr. Sutherland include eight years with Aquiline Resources Inc. until its acquisition by Pan American Silver Corp. Mr. Sutherland was also formerly the Site General Manager at the Sonora Gold project of Sonora Gold Corp. and Co-Founder, Vice-President and CFO of Tekion, Inc., a micro fuel cell developer, and was a key partner in its growth. Prior to Tekion, he was President and CEO of ASC AVCAN Systems Inc., a technology company.

We believe Mr. Surtherland is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his knowledge of our current operations, in addition to his business experiences described above.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

Effective October 7, 2010, we adopted our 2010 Stock Option Plan. The purpose of our 2010 Stock Option Plan is to retain the services of directors, officers, valued key employees and consultants and such other persons as the plan administrator selects, and to encourage such persons to acquire a greater proprietary interest in our company, thereby strengthening their incentive to achieve the objectives’ stockholders, and to serve as an aid and inducement in the hiring of new employees. Under the plan, the plan administrator is authorized to grant stock options to acquire up to a total of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

The following table provides a summary of the number of stock options granted under the 2010 Stock Option Plan, the weighted average exercise price and the number of stock options remaining available for issuance under our option plan as at March 31, 2015:

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Except as noted below, none of the following parties have, since commencement of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us, in which our company is a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our company’s total assets for the last two completed financial years:

  (i) Any of our directors or officers;
     
  (ii) Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
     
  (iii) Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting
    rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;
     
  (iv) Any of our promoters; and
     
  (v) Any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in- laws) of any
    of the foregoing persons.
     
Related Party Transactions and Balances:
     
  a) As at March 31, 2015, the Company owed $504,228 (March 31, 2014 - $403,524) to five directors and officers of the Company. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of  repayment. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $36,000 (2014 - $36,000) of directors fees, $Nil (2014 – $1,000) of agreement signing fees to a director, and $413,150 (2014 - $426,955) of salaries to directors and officers. The transactions were recorded at their exchange amounts, being the amounts agreed upon by the related parties.

Director Independence

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace, which does not have director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a) (2), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. David Kaleniuk as our president and chief executive officer, Heidi Kalenuik as our secretary and treasurer and Ahmed Magoma as an employee of a subsidiary company are therefore are not considered independent. Messrs. Sutherland and Newell are considered to be independent as they are not officers or employees of our company.

Audit Committee and Charter

Our audit committee consists of two directors. One of them, John Surtherland is independent and he is the designated Chair of the Committee when it is constituted. The second member of the audit committee Roger Newell is also independent. Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee. A copy of our audit committee charter was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2008 with our Form 10-K.


48

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board has determined that the Chairman of the Audit Committee is John Surtherland. Mr. Surtherland is an independent director and he meets the additional criteria for independence of Audit Committee members set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(l) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Disclosure Committee and Charter

We have a disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. A copy of the disclosure committee charter was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2008 within our Form 10-K.

National Instrument 58-101

We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia. National Instrument 58-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires our company to disclose annually in our annual report certain information concerning corporate governance disclosure.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently consists of Roger A Newell, David Kalenuik, Heidi Kalenuik, John J. Surtherland and Ahmed A. Magoma. We have determined that Mr. Kalenuik, Mrs. Kalenuik and Mr. Magoma are not independent as that term is defined in National Instrument 52-110 due to the fact that they are current or former executive officers or employees of our company. Messrs. Newell and Surtherland are independent.

Our board of directors facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by endorsing the guidelines for responsibilities of the board as set out by regulatory authorities on corporate governance in Canada and the United States. Our board’s primary responsibilities are to supervise the management of our company, to establish an appropriate corporate governance system, and to set a tone of high professional and ethical standards. The board is also responsible for:

  selecting and assessing members of the board;
     
choosing, assessing and compensating the chief executive officer of our company, approving the compensation of all executive officers and ensuring that an orderly management succession plan exists;
     
reviewing and approving our company’s strategic plan, operating plan, capital budget and financial goals, and reviewing its performance against those plans;
     
adopting a code of conduct and a disclosure policy for our company, and monitoring performance against those policies;
     
  ensuring the integrity of our company’s internal control and management information systems;
     
approving any major changes to our company’s capital structure, including significant investments or financing arrangements; and
     
reviewing and approving any other issues which, in the view of the board or management, may require board scrutiny.

Directorships

The following directors are also directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction), as identified next to their name:

Director Reporting Issuers or Equivalent in a Foreign Jurisdiction
David Kalenuik N/A
Heidi Kalenuik N/A
Roger Newell N/A
Ahmed A. Magoma N/A
John J. Sutherland Digital Shelf Space Corp

Orientation and Continuing Education

We have an informal process to orient and educate new members to the board regarding their role on the board, our committees and our directors, as well as the nature and operations of our business. This process provides for an orientation with key members of the management staff, and further provides access to materials necessary to inform them of the information required to carry out their responsibilities as a board member. This information includes the most recent board approved budget, the most recent annual report, the audited financial statements and copies of the interim quarterly financial statements.

The board does not provide continuing education for its directors. Each director is responsible to maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to meet his or her obligations as directors.

Nomination of Directors

The board is responsible for identifying new director nominees. In identifying candidates for membership on the board, the board takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the board. As part of the process, the board, together with management, is responsible for conducting background searches, and is empowered to retain search firms to assist in the nominations process. Once candidates have gone through a screening process and met with a number of the existing directors, they are formally put forward as nominees for approval by the board.

Assessments

The board intends that individual director assessments be conducted by other directors, taking into account each director’s contributions at board meetings, service on committees, experience base, and their general ability to contribute to one or more of our company’s major needs. However, due to our stage of development and our need to deal with other urgent priorities, the board has not yet implemented such a process of assessment.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The aggregate fees billed for the completed fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 for professional services rendered by Manning Elliott LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim financial statements and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:


50

Year Ended
March 31,
2015
Year Ended
March 31,
2014
Audit Fees and Audit Related Fees $49,527 $55,163
Tax Fees $6,336 $4,417
All Other Fees $Nil $Nil
Total $55,863 $59,580

In the above tables, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditors for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditors for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditors for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditors for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors

The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors before the respective services were rendered.

The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Manning Elliott LLP and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining their respective independence.
