MCKENZIE BAY INTERNATIONAL, LTD.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
MARCH 31, 2003
(Amounts stated in US dollars unless indicated otherwise)
1. Nature of operationsThe Company is a development stage company with one primary business segment that is exploring with the intent to develop a mineral property. The Company has not yet determined whether the property contains reserves that are economically recoverable.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended September 30, 2002. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports except for the adoption of SFAS 142. Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
(a) Basis of presentation
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
The Company incurred significant losses over the past several years, has a working capital deficiency of $1,045,864 and a deficiency in assets of $2,939,548 at March 31, 2003. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and generate profits. Although management believes that it will be successful at raising additional capital in the short-term and will have profitable operations in the long-term, it is unable to disclose firm commitments as of the date of these financial statements.
As discussed in note 4, the Company is obligated to repurchase shares, at the option of the holders, for an amount of $1,132,083. If this occurs, the Company's future would be uncertain.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
- -6-
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the activities of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McKenzie Bay Resources Ltd., Great Western Diamond Company, Experts Conseils Dermond Inc. and a 62.5% interest in Ptarmigan Energie Inc.
(c) New accounting pronouncements
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the requirements of FIN 45.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 148.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to existing entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 addresses accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement superseded SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The Company's adoption of SFAS 144 on October 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Restatements
(i) Stock-based compensation plan
In 2002, the Company corrected previously filed financial statements to apply the provisions of SFAS 123 and/or APB No. 25, as the case may be. Accordingly, the prior periods financial statements were corrected by an increase in net loss by $113,994 ($(0.01) per share of common stock) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $177,664 ($(0.01) per share of common stock) for the six months ended March 31, 2002.
(ii) Redeemable capital stock
Subsequent to its September 30, 2002 financial statements, the Company determined that its redeemable capital stock schedule contained errors and, in order to correct the situation, the Company has increased the balance of the redeemable capital stock for 2002 by $362,500 with a corresponding decrease of the contributed surplus.
3. Goodwill and other intangible assets
Effective October 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are required to be recognized and reported separately from goodwill and those acquired intangible assets that are required to be included in goodwill. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Company's accounting for prior business combinations.
SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 requires recognized intangible assets to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Any recognized intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment in accordance with the standard until its life is determined to no longer be indefinite.
The Company has completed its SFAS 142 transitional impairment review and determined that the goodwill ("excess cost of investment over net assets acquired") of $146,972 associated with the fiscal 2002 acquisition of Experts Conseils Dermond Inc. should be reduced to $0. The fair value of the reporting unit (Experts Conseils Dermond Inc.) was determined using the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation measures.
The $146,972 non-cash charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss for the six-month period ended March 31, 2003. In accordance with SFAS 142 and SFAS 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," when a transitional impairment loss for goodwill (cumulative effect type accounting change) is measured in other than the first interim reporting period, it shall be recognized in the first interim period irrespective of the period in which it is measured. The impact on the three-month period ended December 31, 2002 is as follows:

7. Net loss per common share
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share has not been presented, as it would be anti-dilutive. The computation of net loss per share is reflected in the following schedule:

8. Related party transactions
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company retained a law firm to perform legal services for the Company at a total cost of $40,329 for services for the three months ended March 31, 2003 ($69,814 for the six months ended March 31, 2003). A director of the Company is a partner in that law firm. The transactions were valued at the exchange amount which is the amount of consideration agreed to by the related parties. As of March 31, 2003 an amount of $49,714 resulting from these transactions is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. On May 15, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the cancellation of $17,100 of the amount outstanding at March 31, 2003, in exchange for the issuance of 20,000 of common stock shares to certain principals in the law firm, including the Company's director.
9. Commitments
A subsidiary company, McKenzie Bay Resources, Ltd., has entered into an agreement for the provision of technical consulting services with a third party. The contract calls for a payment of $10,000 per month, increasing annually by 5%, with the contract expiring on February 28, 2007.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to employment agreements with certain of their employees. These employment contracts require the Company to pay annual salaries of approximately $620,000 over each of the next three years.
10. Subsequent events
Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the Company determined that 240,000 warrants and 5,365,969 options issued and outstanding were void due to lack of appropriate corporate authorization. Accordingly, the balance of options and warrants outstanding have been adjusted and the $81,629 of warrants and $64,944 of options were reclassified to accumulated deficit.
On April 17, 2003, the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of common stock to Soquem Inc. in exchange for Soquem relinquishing any further rights, options or claims to any mining claims at the Lac Doré deposit.
- -14-
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Construction of Pilot Production Facility
McKenzie Bay Resources anticipates that it will begin construction of a pilot production facility during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.
The cost of construction for the pilot production facility is estimated to be approximately $10 million (US). McKenzie Bay Resources will seek financial support from federal and provincial Canadian governmental agencies and senior lending sources. In addition, the Company anticipates that it will offer up to $1 million of its common stock during the coming year in a private placement for purposes of funding a portion of the costs of constructing the pilot production facility.
Development of Dermond
If funding becomes available during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, Dermond anticipates that it will begin to design and develop the vertical-axis wind prototypes. Total costs for designing and developing the prototypes are estimated to be approximately $1.7 million (US). Dermond is seeking a strategic partner for this project who would contribute approximately $300,000 (US) of this amount, with the balance anticipated to be raised through grants, loans and investment by Canadian federal and provincial governmental agencies and private funding sources.
Great Western Diamond Company
As described in the section entitled "Legal Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 below, Great Western Diamond was involved in arbitration involving the Kelsey Lake lease. Great Western Diamond will either sell or shut down the mine in 2003. Great Western Diamond will use its reclamation bond posted with the state of Colorado to complete reclamation of the property if the mine is shut down.
Cash Requirements for 2003 Fiscal Year Administrative Costs
To date the Company's activities and that of its subsidiaries have been funded primarily through the sale of equity securities and financial assistance from Canadian governmental agencies in the form of loans and grants. As noted below, the Company will need to raise additional capital to continue to operate its businesses.
The Company's and its subsidiaries' cash requirements for administrative costs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 follows (all amounts are in US dollars):
Use | Amount |
| |
Employee salaries | $600,000 |
Professional costs (includes consultants, outside accountants, independent auditors and legal counsel) | $500,000
|
General administrative (includes lease obligations, travel and other administrative costs) | $200,000 |
In its report dated November 30, 2002, the Company's independent auditors state that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a deficiency in assets that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
- -15-
The Company cannot be sure that it will be able to obtain adequate financing from outside sources to fund its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary funding, the Company will not be able to continue to operate.
Additional Employees
Since September 30, 2002, McKenzie Bay Resources has hired a General Manager and a Director of Production and Technical Processes for Lac Doré. The Company does not anticipate that a significant change will occur in its or its subsidiaries' employee base in the next 12 months.

| | |
| • | dilution to current stockholders' interest in the Company if the Company issues additional equity securities and upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants; and |
| | |
| • | operating hazards and risks associated with exploring and developing mineral properties and building and operating refining facilities, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, environmental pollution, personal injuries, flooding, changes in technology or mining techniques, periodic interruptions due to inclement weather and industrial accidents. |
Unless required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
