EXPLANATORY NOTE
Amendment No. 1
Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2016, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 29, 2016 (the Original Form 10-K).
This Amendment No. 1 amends the disclosure under Item 8 of Part II of the Original Form 10-K to include a revised report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that addresses the restatement discussed in our explanatory note from the Original Form 10-K, which is set forth below.
Item 15 of Part IV of this Amendment No. 1 has been amended to contain the currently dated certifications from our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as required by Section 302 and 906 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Except as described above, Amendment No. 1 does not modify, amend or update the disclosure made in the Original Form 10-K The filing of this Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Form 10-K, when made, included any untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.
Explanatory Note from Original Form 10-K
Our Board of Directors, in consultation with management, determined that our Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2015 contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015 should be restated due to default of payment on equipment leased in our Scottsdale Facility.
With this report we are filing to restate our financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2015 because of changes in the presentation of the Financial Statements for the default of payment on equipment leased in our Scottsdale Facility. This restatement had an impact on our Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Stockholders' Deficit for the applicable period. This restatement led our management to conclude that an additional material weakness was present in our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2015. For additional background on the restatement, please see Note 16 to our Financial Statements.
Effects of the Restatement Due to Default of Payment of Leased Equipment

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Royal Mines
and Minerals Corp
2580 Anthem Village Dr.
Henderson, NV 89052
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp (the Company) as of April 30, 2016, and 2015, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2016. Royal Mines and Minerals Corps management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 the companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements as of April 30, 2015 and related statement of operation, comprehensive loss, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2015. We audited the adjustments described in Note 16 that were applied.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2016 AND 2015
(AUDITED)
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Royal Mines and Minerals Corps (the Company) fiscal year-end is April 30.
Description of Business The Company is focused on the development of mining technologies for the proficient extraction of precious metals. The Company's primary objectives are to 1) commercially and viably extract and refine precious metals from specific coal ash (fly and bottom), ores and other leachable assets, 2) use its proprietary processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills into valuable assets, and 3) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America. The Company has not yet realized significant revenues from its primary objectives.
History The Company was incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June 13, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Mines Acquisition Corp., in the state of Nevada.
On October 5, 2007, Centrus Ventures Inc. (Centrus) completed the acquisition of Royal Mines Inc. (Royal Mines). The acquisition of Royal Mines was completed by way of a triangular merger pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 24, 2007 (the First Merger Agreement) among Centrus, Royal Mines Acquisition Corp. (Centrus Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus, Royal Mines and Kevin B. Epp, the former sole executive officer and director of Centrus. On October 5, 2007, under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, Royal Mines was merged with and into Centrus Sub, with Centrus Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the First Merger).
On October 6, 2007, a second merger was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 6, 2007 (the Second Merger Agreement) between Centrus and its wholly owned subsidiary, Centrus Sub, whereby Centrus Sub was merged with and into Centrus, with Centrus continuing as the surviving corporation (the Second Merger). As part of the Second Merger, Centrus changed its name from Centrus Ventures Inc. to Royal Mines And Minerals Corp.(the Company). Other than the name change, no amendments were made to the Articles of Incorporation.
Under the terms and conditions of the First Merger Agreement, each share of Royal Mines common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was converted into one share of Centrus common stock. As a result, a total of 32,183,326 shares of Centrus common stock were issued to former stockholders of Royal Mines. In addition, Mr. Epp surrendered 23,500,000 shares of Centrus common stock for cancellation in consideration of payment by Centrus of $0.001 per share for an aggregate consideration of $23,500. As a result, upon completion of the First Merger, the former stockholders of Royal Mines owned approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock.
As such, Royal Mines is deemed to be the acquiring enterprise for financial reporting purposes. All acquired assets and liabilities of Centrus were recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition, as required by the purchase method of accounting, and the tangible net liabilities were debited against equity of the Company. There are no continuing operations of Centrus from the date of acquisition.
Going Concern The accompanying financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the next twelve months and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the Companys inability to continue as a going concern. The Companys history of losses, working capital deficit, capital deficit, minimal liquidity and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to continue operations beyond the next twelve months and be able to discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business it must raise additional equity or debt capital and continue cost cutting measures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve sustainable profitable operations or obtain additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to management.

ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2016 AND 2015
(AUDITED)
If the Company continues to incur operating losses and does not raise sufficient additional capital, material adverse events may occur including, but not limited to, 1) a reduction in the nature and scope of the Companys operations and 2) the Companys inability to fully implement its current business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully improve its liquidity position. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might be required resulting from the adverse outcome relating to this uncertainty.
As of April 30, 2016, the Company had cumulative net losses of $18,554,347 from operations since inception and had a working capital deficit of $2,206,781. For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $839,773 and had net cash used in operating activities of $515,800. For the year ended April 30, 2015 the Company incurred a net loss of $1,920,519 and had net cash used in operating activities of $624,878. The Company has not fully started its minerals processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
To address liquidity constraints, the Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of equity or debt financing. Additionally, the Company has reduced expenses, elected to defer payment of certain obligations, deferred payment of our CEOs salary and reduced staffing levels to conserve cash. The Company is focused on continuing to reduce costs and obtaining additional funding. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by selling additional shares of capital stock, securities convertible into shares of capital stock, or by issuing debt convertible into shares of capital stock, the ownership interest of the Companys existing common stock holders will be diluted.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring managements estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.
Other Current Assets - Other current assets are comprised of other receivables, which do not bear interest and are recorded at cost. The Company extends credit to its consultants, which receivables can be offset against commissions payable to the respective consultants.
The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing other receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on specific customer information, historical write-off experience and current industry and economic data. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Management believes that there are no concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance has not been established. Although management believes that the allowance is adequate, it is possible that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change. As of April 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful account of $15,798 and $14,761, respectively.

Fair Value - 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 instruments 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 of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
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.
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Companys balance sheet as of April 30, 2016 and 2015 as follows:

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs Exploration expenditures incurred prior to entering the development stage are expensed and included in mineral exploration and evaluation expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.
Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.
The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable either by impairment or by abandonment of the property. The impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. Impairment expense of zero and $159,610 was recognized for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Research and Development - All research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Per Share Amounts - Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive shares, such as stock options and warrants, are excluded from the calculation when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, such as when the exercise price of the instrument exceeds the fair market value of the Companys common stock and when a net loss is reported. The dilutive effect of convertible debt securities is reflected in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation using the if-converted method. Conversion of the debt securities is not assumed for purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share if the effect is anti-dilutive. As of April 30, 2016 and 2015, stock options and warrants outstanding were 165,785,129 and 159,785,129 respectively, but were not considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

For acquired properties that do not constitute a business a deferred income tax liability is recorded on GAAP basis over income tax basis using statutory federal and state rates. The resulting estimated future federal and state income tax liability associated with the temporary difference between the acquisition consideration and the tax basis is computed in accordance with ASC 740-10-25-51, Acquired Temporary Differences in Certain Purchase Transactions that are Not Accounted for as Business Combinations , and is reflected as an increase to the total purchase price which is then applied to the underlying acquired assets in the absence of there being a goodwill component associated with the acquisition transactions.
Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.
Recent Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease have not significantly changed from the previous GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a package of practical expedients. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 which simplifies income tax accounting. The update requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern. The new standard requires management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition and should not be reflected in the estimate of the grant-date fair value of the award. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. | SCOTTSDALE FACILITY AGREEMENT |
On April 16, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with GJS Capital Corp. (the "Creditor"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Creditor has agreed to loan the Company $150,000 (the Principal), which has already been advanced. The loan bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and has a maturity date of December 31, 2016 (the Maturity Date").
At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Creditor may elect to receive units (each a Unit") in exchange for any portion of the Principal outstanding on the basis of one Unit for each $0.05 of indebtedness converted (the Unit Conversion Option"). Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, any interest that accrued on the portion of the Principal that was converted shall be forgiven.
If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Creditor will receive a net profits interest (the Net Profits Interest) on any future profits received by Company that are derived from our process for the recovery of precious metals from coal ash and other materials (the Technology) at a basis of 1% of our net profits for every $10,000 of converted Principal. The Net Profits Interest will terminate when the Creditor receives eight times the amount of converted Principal.
In addition, if the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Company will use best efforts to ensure that a director nominated by the Creditor is appointed to the Companys Board of Directors. If the Creditor does nominate such director, the Company will be allowed to nominate and appoint an additional director to the Companys Board of Directors.
The Creditor has agreed to form a joint venture with the Company for the purpose of constructing and operating a processing plant at the Scottsdale facility, an existing facility, utilizing the Companys licensed Technology. Under the agreement, the Creditor and the Company shall form a limited liability company (Newco) to operate the Joint Venture, and ownership of Newco would be split equally between the Creditor and the Company. In addition, the Creditor would advance $250,000 plus up to 15% for contingencies, a total of $287,500, to Newco to fund the initial construction and operation costs of the Newco. These advances are not expected to be paid back to the Creditor.

The Company has been operating in the Scottsdale facility in prior years using the same technology licensed by the Company. As of April 30, 2016 and through the filing date of the Form 10-K, the Company and the Creditor have not established a limited liability corporation in accordance with the agreement. The equipment used in the Scottsdale facility, lease agreements for the Scottsdale facility, and other supplies purchased and costs incurred by the Scottsdale facility were incurred by the Company and are the legal obligation of the Company. As of April 30, 2016, no bank account has been established for the joint venture and as a result the Company has paid all expenses related to the Scottsdale facility directly via the Companys bank accounts. Funding under the joint venture has been deposited by the Company into bank accounts owned by the Company. As of April 30, 2016, the Creditor funded a total of $329,000. As of April 30, 2016 and through the date of the filing date of the Form 10-K, the Company has not agreed to contribute any of the assets related to the Scottsdale facility to the joint venture. Based upon the aforementioned, the Company has accounted for the funds received totaling $329,000 as contributed capital since in substance, the Creditor has secured future revenue of the Scottsdale facility operations with such funds. For the year ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company received contributions totaling zero and $165,000, respectively.
3. | INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES |
On September 27, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement and security release agreement with Golden Anvil. Under the terms of the Release Agreement, the Company agreed to release Golden Anvil from loan agreements pursuant to which, Golden Anvil owed the Company $983,055 in secured indebtedness. In exchange for the release, Golden Anvil had 2,000,000 common shares of Gainey issued to the Company as part of an asset purchase agreement between Golden Anvil and Gainey.
The Asset Purchase was completed on September 30, 2013. The Gainey shares are held in escrow and will be released pursuant to the terms of a surplus escrow agreement as follows. The company cannot enter into any sales transaction of the Gainey shares prior to their release.

As of April 30, 2016 and 2015, investment in marketable securities consisted of $216,648 and $272,000, respectively. The Company held 1,600,000 Gainey Capital Corp. (Gainey) common shares, and the market value was $0.135 and $0.17 per share, on April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of April 30, 2016, 60% of the shares have been released, of which 20% were sold on March 30, 2015. Gainey shares are traded on the Vancouver exchange under the stock symbol GNC.V and on the OTC Pink marketplace under the stock symbol GNYPF. Marketable securities are held for an indefinite period of time and thus are classified as available-for-sale securities. Realized investment gains and losses are included in the statement of operations, as are provisions for other than temporary declines in the market value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline, and the Companys ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers.

For the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company incurred $200,000, in consulting fees expense from companies with a common director or officer, and $62,941 in compensation expense for the issuance of stock options to directors and officers of the Company.
14. | INCOME TAXES |
FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Companys opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $4,163,135 which is calculated by multiplying a 35% estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) adjusted for the following items:
For the period ended April 30, | 2016 | 2015 | ||||
