Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
(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 Suite 202, 5626 Larch Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6M 4E1, Canada. The Company is primarily engaged in developing mineral exploration projects in Africa.
On February 27, 2014, the Company completed a business combination with International Eco Endeavors Corp. (Eco Endeavors) which has now been renamed Blox Energy Inc. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company discontinued operations in Europe and disposed of Blox Energy Inc.s subsidiary, Kenderesh Endeavors Corp.
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. 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 the fair statement of results 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, 2018, or future operating periods. For further information, see the Companys annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017, including the accounting policies and notes thereto.
(c)
Reporting and Functional Currencies
The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar (CAD). The Companys reporting currency is the US dollar.
Transactions:
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries using period end foreign currency exchange rates and expenses are translated using the exchange rate approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions during the reporting periods in which the expenses were transacted. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their historical foreign currency exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the determination of net income or loss for the period.
Translations:
Foreign currency financial statements are translated into the Companys reporting currency, the US dollar as follows:
(i)
All of the assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date;

Basis of Presentation (Continued)
(c)
Reporting and Functional Currencies (Continued)
(ii)
Expenses are translated at the exchange rate approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions; and
(iii)
Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other comprehensive income.
(d)
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.
In applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made certain judgments that may have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements. Such judgments include the determination of the functional currencies and use of the going concern assumption.
(i)
Determination of Functional Currencies
In determining the Company's functional currency, it periodically reviews its primary and secondary indicators to assess the primary economic environment in which the entity operates in determining the Company's functional currencies. The Company analyzes the currency that mainly influences labor, material and other costs of providing goods or services which is often the currency in which such costs are denominated and settled. The Company also analyzes secondary indicators such as the currency in which funds from financing activities such as equity issuances are generated and the funding dependency of the parent company whose predominant transactional currency is the Canadian dollar. Determining the Company's predominant economic environment requires significant judgment.
(ii)
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 $274,077 for the six months ended September 30, 2017, and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $9,638,729 as at September 30, 2017.
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, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt and/or equity financing to continue operations. These 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. Waratah Investments Limited, the Companys controlling shareholder continued to finance the required working capital through a private placement (Note 6(a)).

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

Mineral Property Interest
The Company entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated July 24, 2014 (the "Assumption Agreement") among 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 agreed to assume JBMIL's right to acquire a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession (the "Property") from the Vendors. The Company exercised that right and has acquired a 78% beneficial interest in the Property.
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 and environmental impact assessment required for obtaining this permit.

Mineral Property Interest (continued)
In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Property, the Company paid in cash $100,000 to BGL and $40,000 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 $140,000, and $10,000 for an independent valuation of the Property. Additionally, $781,722 was capitalized to mineral property interests, being the fair value of the first tranche of shares. 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 shall 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 shall be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively.
The mining exploration license for the Company has been extended for an additional three months to January 24, 2018, in order to allow the Company sufficient time to finalize the Feasibility Study and Application for an Exploitation License. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company spent $3,654 (September 30, 2016 $7,511) on the property.

Private placement
On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Waratah Capital Ltd.

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).
Level 2 and 3 financial instruments are measured using managements best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

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, under the name Nava Resources, Inc. for the purpose of conducting mineral exploration activities. We were authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share. On January 4, 2007, we obtained written consent from our shareholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of our common stock from $0.001 to $0.00001 per share, which change was effected on February 28, 2007. Effective July 30, 2013, we changed our name from Nava Resources, Inc. to Blox, Inc..
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, which right was exercised.
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. On October 25, 2016, an exploration permit extension was granted for a period of 12-months. The purpose of the extension was to provide time to complete the required feasibility study and environmental impact assessment that will be submitted to Ministre des Mines et de la Géologie and the La Ministre de lEnvironnement, des Eaux et Forêts. Work has commenced on the feasibility study and a consultant has been engaged to commence the environmental impact assessment. 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 five-year extension. In February 2017, our directors and management teams from Vancouver and Guinea met in Accra, Ghana, to further the process of advancing a project viability study for the Mansounia Property. The environmental impact assessment of the concession is in progress. Once completed, the results of these two studies will be presented to the Guinea Ministry of Mines and Geology and the Environmental Protection Agency in Guinea, with a view to advancing towards an exploitation license.
In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Mansounia Property, we paid approximately $100,000 to BGL and $40,000 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.
The field program scheduled last year for the Mansounia Property has now been completed with results pending. Crews were on the ground at Mansounia undertaking geological traverses and collecting soil and rock grab samples. Those samples have now been sent to the laboratory for analysis. No results were available as at the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report.

Pramkese, Osenase and Asamankese, Ghana, West Africa
On June 22, 2013, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Waratah Investments Limited (Waratah) whereby we agreed purchase all of Waratahs right, title, and interest in the Quivira Gold (Quivira) shares, of which Waratah holds 100% of the outstanding shares. As consideration for the Quivira shares, we agreed to issue to Waratah 60,000,000 shares of common stock and 60,000,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.05 for a period of five years from the closing date. Quivira, a subsidiary of Waratah, owns and operates gold and diamond mining properties in Ghana.
The closing of the agreement is subject to the completion of a private placement financing of up to $1,500,000, consisting of units priced at $0.05 per unit, with each unit to be comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant, exercisable at $0.05 for five years. Closing the Agreement is also conditional upon receiving legal opinions of Ghana counsel confirming various matters relating to the laws of Ghana, including corporate and title opinions; the Company receiving legal opinions of Australian counsel confirming various matters relating to the laws of Australia, including corporate and title opinions; completion of certain ongoing transactions by Quivira relating to the transfer of title to certain assets and to an assignment of debt; and preparation of U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements for Quivira.
Our directors conducted their first visit to Ghana in August 2015, when they visited the Birim Region where the three Ghanaian concessions are located. 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.
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 $274,077 for the six months ended September 30, 2017, and have incurred cumulative losses since inception of $9,638,729. 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 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 quarterly report and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Results of Operations
Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, which are included herein.
Expenses
The expenses were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Six Month Ended | ||

|
Net Loss | $ 128,783 | $ 101,971 | $ 274,077 | $ 216,388 |
We incurred a net loss of $128,783 and $274,077 ($0.00 per share) for the three and six month ended September 30, 2017, compared to $101,971 and $216,388 ($0.00 loss per share), in the same periods in 2016. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred foreign exchange loss of $34,717 and $56,371, respectively, which resulted in the increased operating expenses during fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016
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 | September 30, 2017 | March 31, 2017 |
Current Assets | $ 15,931 | $ 19,634 |
Current Liabilities | 109,594 | 90,595 |
Working Capital Deficit | $ (93,663) | $ (70,961) |
Current Assets
The nominal decrease in current assets as of September 30, 2017 compared to March 31, 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in cash from $14,085 to $6,764.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities as at September 30, 2017 increased by $18,999 since March 31, 2017, primarily due to additional expenses being incurred during the current quarter.
Cash Flow
Our cash flow was as follows:
| Six months Ended September 30 | |
| 2017 | 2016 |
Net cash used in operating activities | (256,125) | (233,785) |
Net cash used in investing activities | - | - |
Net cash provided by financing activities | 248,804 | 234,264 |
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | (7,321) | 479 |
Operating activities
The increase in net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily as a result of increased accounts payable and royalty payments.
18
Investing activities
There is no cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016.
Financing activities
The increased net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 was mainly attributable to the proceeds advanced by a shareholder for subscriptions received.
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, 2017.
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 $920 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.

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
On September 7, 2017, we filed a Notice of Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against our former President and CEO, Robert Abenante and his wholly-owned company Emerald Power Consulting Inc. Mr. Abenante was a director, President and CEO of our company from February 27, 2014 until he resigned on May 1, 2015. Among other things, the claims against Mr. Abenante include failure to perform his duties to the level of competence and skill expected, failing to act in our companys best interests, failing to develop and further our business and failure to devote sufficient time to perform his duties, acting in a manner of self-interest and devoting significant time towards other personal interests to the exclusion and prejudice of our company, as well as failing to maintain property financial and corporate records and failing to assist with accessing electronic records after his resignation.
