Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1.
Description of Business
Blox, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on July 21, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The address of the Company is #1500, 701 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1C6, Canada. The Company is primarily engaged in developing mineral exploration projects in Africa.
2.
Basis of Presentation
(a)
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company's fiscal year-end is March 31.
(b)
Basis of Presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. These consolidated financial statements have also been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring ones), considered necessary for fair value have been included in these financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending March 31, 2016, or future operating periods. For further information, see the Companys annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015, including the accounting policies and notes thereto.
(c)
Going Concern
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $842,578 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $8,892,373. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to sustain operations for the next fiscal year including plans to raise additional equity financing, controlling costs and reducing operating losses.
3.
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. Those pronouncements did not have any material impact on these financial statements.
There are no new accounting pronouncements that have been issued and not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

4.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 quoted prices in active markets include cash and cash equivalents.
The following table sets forth the Companys financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:
|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total December 31, 2015 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ 27,908 | $ - | $ - | $ 27,908 |

Mineral Property Interest
The Company has entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated July 24, 2014 (the "Assumption Agreement") with Joseph Boampong Memorial Institute Ltd. ("JBMIL") and Equus Mining Ltd. ("EML"), Burey Gold Guinee sarl ("BGGs") and Burey Gold Limited ("BGL") and, collectively with EML and BGGs, (the "Vendors"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to assume JBMIL's right to acquire a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession (the "Property") from the Vendors. The Company also announced that it has exercised that right and has acquired a 78% beneficial interest in the Property.
The Property lies in the southwest margin of the Siguiri Basin, in the Kouroussa Prefecture, Kankan Region, in Guinea, West Africa and covers a surface area of 145 square kilometres. The Property is located approximately 80 kilometres west, by road, from the country's third largest city, Kankan.
An exploration permit for the Property was granted by the Ministère des Mines et de la Géologie on August 20, 2013. As part of its due diligence, the Company obtained a legal opinion which confirmed that the license was in good standing at the time of acquisition. It is the Company's intention to obtain an exploitation permit to allow the Company the right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15 years, with a possible 5 year extension. The Company has commenced work on the feasibility study required for obtaining this permit.
In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Property, the Company has paid in cash $107,143 to BGL and $42,857 to EML and issued BGL and EML an aggregate of 6,514,350 shares of common stock of the Company (the "First Tranche Shares"), at a deemed price of $0.1765 per share, for an aggregate deemed value of $1,150,000. The First Tranche Shares were issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded the cash payment of $150,000 plus $781,722 being the fair value of the First Tranche Shares as mineral property interest. The fair value of the First Tranche Shares was based on the closing price of the Companys shares on the OTCQB on July 24, 2014.
Within 14 days of commercial gold production being publicly declared from ore mined from the Property, the Company will issue BGL and EML a second tranche of shares of common stock of the Company (the "Second Tranche Shares"). The number of Second Tranche Shares to be issued will be calculated by dividing $1,150,000 by the volume weighted average share price of the Company's common stock over a 20 day period preceding the issuance date. The Second Tranche Shares will be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2005. Following incorporation, we were engaged in the exploration of early-stage mineral properties. However, we were not successful in developing our mineral property interests and thus began to investigate other business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value. As a result, we entered into the Amalgamation Agreement with Eco Endeavors, which closed on February 27, 2014.
Following the closing of the Amalgamation Agreement, we commenced focusing on the business currently carried on by Amalco, which operated as a renewable energy company that indirectly owns an operating biogas plant in Hungary. It was also engaged in the development of renewable energy projects and intended to expand into the provision of renewable energy services. Amalco operated a 1.14 MW biogas plant located just outside of Budapest, Hungary. The plant served as a pilot project to demonstrate the potential for similar use of renewable energy in a variety of regions and climates.
Due to uneconomic conditions brought on by political and economic forces in Hungary we deemed it necessary and in the best interest of our company to cease operations at our Kenderes Biogas Plant in Hungary, which has been moved to Africa where we will look to provide energy to mining projects. We completed the sale of our wholly-owned Hungarian subsidiary and any assets that we deemed to be uneconomical to move were sold off.
On August 6, 2014, we announced that we entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated July 24, 2014 (the "Assumption Agreement") with Joseph Boampong Memorial Institute Ltd. ("JBMIL") and Equus Mining Ltd. ("EML"), Burey Gold Guinee sarl ("BGGs") and Burey Gold Limited ("BGL") and, collectively with EML and BGGs, (the "Vendors"), pursuant to which we agreed to assume JBMIL's right to acquire a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession (the "Mansounia Property") from the Vendors. We also announced that we had exercised that right and had acquired a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Property.
The Mansounia Property lies in the southwest margin of the Siguiri Basin, in the Kouroussa Prefecture, Kankan Region, in Guinea, West Africa and covers a surface area of 145 square kilometres. The Mansounia Property is located approximately 80 kilometres west, by road, from the country's third largest city, Kankan.
An exploration permit for the Mansounia Property was granted by the Ministère des Mines et de la Géologie on August 20, 2013. As part of our due diligence, we obtained a legal opinion which confirmed that the license remains in good standing. It is our intention to obtain an exploitation permit, which would give us the exclusive right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15 years, with a possible 5 year extension. We have commenced work on the feasibility study required for obtaining this permit.
In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Mansounia Property, we paid $107,143 to BGL and $42,857 to EML and on July 31, 2014, issued BGL and EML an aggregate of 6,514,350 shares of common stock of our company (the "First Tranche Shares"), at a deemed price of $0.1765 per share, for an aggregate deemed value of $1,150,000. The First Tranche Shares were issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively. For accounting purposes, we recorded the cash payment of $150,000 plus $781,722 as the fair value of the First Tranche Shares in mineral interest. The fair value of the First Tranche Shares was based on the closing price of our shares on the OTCQB on July 24, 2014.
Within 14 days of commercial gold production being publicly declared from ore mined from the Mansounia Property, we will issue BGL and EML a second tranche of shares of our common stock (the "Second Tranche Shares"). The number of Second Tranche Shares to be issued shall be calculated by dividing $1,150,000 by the volume weighted average share price of our common stock over a 20 day period preceding the issuance date. The Second Tranche Shares shall be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively.

On August 20th, 2015, we announced that the directors conducted their first visit to Ghana between the 5th and the 15th August, 2015. Upon arrival, the directors, which included Mr. Ronald Renne, Chairman, Mr. Robert Spiers, CEO, and Mr. Trevor Pickett, COO, visited the Birim Region where the three Ghanaian concessions are located.
Ghana Pramkese, Osenase and Asamankese
The objective was to carry out a geological reconnaissance over the areas to identify potentially favourable lithologies. The directors inspected the existing field programs in Ghana and oversaw the planning and implementation of programs for the near future.
Near Surface Infill Sampling Program - Mansounia
A near surface infill sampling campaign which focussed on further defining the near surface supergene mineralization continuity resulted in further high grade results. The sampling program was in response to positive results from a desktop study and data collation and a review of the historical Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) completed by Spiers Geological Consultants (SGC).
Resulting from the review and as part of the ongoing development of the project toward feasibility, SGC advised that diamond core samples associated with mineralised grades near surface within the proposed open pit areas were under-sampled and required further delineation.
We elected to commence infill sampling to both infill absent data and to potentially extend the resource base, which is believed would further improve the project economics.
Some significant results from the infill sampling of existing diamond core holes include;
•
44m at 0.68g/t Au from 4 to 48m in drill hole MDD009
•
12m @ 0.90 g/t Au from surface in drill hole MDD013
•
36m @ 0.52 g/t Au from 4 metres in drill hole MDD015
•
24m @ 0.71 g/t Au from 6m in drill hole MDD017
Note: Intersections are reported as down-hole length and not true width.
The infill sampling confirmed that the mineralisation displays continuity near surface at depths less than 50m. These early results have confirmed that the Mansounia mineralised trend extends near surface as a broad moderately continuous zone of economic mineralisation (above a 0.4 gt Au cut-off grade) which continues to provide a strong case for the development of a heap leach project.
The completion of the infill sampling will now trigger a period of independent resource review and update which will be conducted with a view to upgrading the project Mineral Resource Estimates and subsequently fast-track the project into production.
Concurrent with the planned project feasibility analysis during 2016, other work will include geological and structural evaluations of the immediate and surrounding geological terrain, local and regional targeting and identification of potential additional mineralisation in-line with a move to an updated economic assessment.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred a net loss of $48,237 and $842,578 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, and have incurred cumulative losses since inception of $8,892,373. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to continue obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to significantly curtail or cease operations.
We will need to raise additional funds to finance continuing operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional funds. Without sufficient additional financing, it would be unlikely for us to
14
continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in this annual report and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Results of Operations
Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, which are included herein.
Expenses
The expenses were as follows:

Net Loss | 48,237 | 575,512 | 842,578 | 1,728,284 |
We incurred a net loss of $48,237 and $842,578 ($0.01 loss per share) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $575,512 and 1,728,284 ($0.02 loss per share), in the same periods in 2014. We maintain lower level of activities as we are currently relying on shareholder loans to finance our operations.
Total consulting and professional fee incurred were $35,807 and $183,757 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $169,760 and $611,445, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. The substantial decrease in consulting fee during fiscal 2015 is primarily due to the lower corporate activities compared to the same period in 2014. The consulting fee includes amortization of prepaid consulting services that arose when our stock was issued as compensation for a former directors consulting services. The prepaid consulting fees were amortized over a period of 18 months beginning in April 2014.
Total office and administration expense incurred were $6,444 and $44,344 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $37,310 and $175,732 for the same periods in 2014. We have implemented a cost reduction policy due to our limited funding. The expenses on filing, rent, administration, accounting, meal and travel have been minimized as much as possible.
Stock based compensation expensed was $5,111 and $603,024 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $188,924 and $460,799 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014. During the period ended December 31, 2015, we did not grant any stock options. The stock options granted in 2014 are being amortized over a period of 18 months from the grant date.
The exploration costs expensed of $7,006 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 were for analyzing the samples of the drilling result from Mansounia Concession.
Management anticipates operating expenses will materially increase in future periods as we focus on green mineral development and incur increased costs as a result of being a public company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
Continuing Operations | December 31, 2015 | March 31, 2015 |
Current Assets | $ 34,139 | $ 64,211 |
Current Liabilities | 464,064 | 255,764 |
Working Capital (Deficit) | $ (429,925) | $ (191,553) |
Current Assets
The decrease in current assets as of December, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015 was primarily due to the decrease in prepaid expenses to $6,231 from $43,952, as a result of the amortization of prepaid consulting fee.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities as at December 31, 2015 increased by $208,300 due to an increase in the accrued loan payable from $91,774 to $265,020. The balance of the liabilities increased primarily due to the timing of payment of invoices in fiscal 2015 that were paid after the end of the period.
Cash Flow
Our cash flow was as follows:
| Nine Months Ended December 31 | |
| 2015 | 2014 |
Net cash used in operating activities | $ (165,597) | $ (767,590) |
Net cash used in investing activities | - | (76,989) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | 173,246 | - |
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ 7,649 | $ (844,579) |
Operating activities
The decrease in net cash used in operating activities for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily as a result of substantial decreases in consulting and professional fees in fiscal 2015.
Investing activities
There is no cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.
Financing activities
The increased net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014 was mainly attributable to the proceeds from a loan provided by a shareholder.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015.
16
Cash Requirements
Our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our present and near-term cash needs. We will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements. For the next 12 months we estimate that our capital needs will be $250,000 to $500,000 and we currently have approximately $10,000 in cash. We will seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
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 is material to our stockholders.
Contractual Obligations
Not applicable.
