XTRA-GOLD RESOURCES CORP. |
(An Exploration Stage Company) |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) |
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars) |
March 31, 2014 |
1. | HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY |
| |
| Silverwing Systems Corporation (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on September 1, 1998. On June 23, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Advertain On-Line Canada Inc. (“Advertain Canada”), a Canadian company operating in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company changed its name to Advertain On-Line Inc. (“Advertain”) on August 19, 1999. Advertain Canada’s business was the operation of a web site, “Advertain.com”, whose primary purpose was to distribute entertainment advertising on the Internet. |
| |
| In May 2001, the Company, being unable to continue its funding of Advertain Canada’s operations, decided to abandon its interest in Advertain Canada. On June 15, 2001, the Company sold its investment in Advertain Canada back to Advertain Canada’s original shareholder. On June 18, 2001, the Company changed its name from Advertain to RetinaPharma International, Inc. (“RetinaPharma”) and became inactive. |
| |
| In 2003, the Company became a resource exploration company. On October 31, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Xtra-Gold Resources, Inc. (“XGRI”). XGRI was incorporated in Florida on October 24, 2003. On December 19, 2003, the Company changed its name from RetinaPharma to Xtra-Gold Resources Corp. |
| |
| In 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Canadiana Gold Resources Limited (“Canadiana”) and 90% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Goldenrae Mining Company Limited (“Goldenrae”). Both companies are incorporated in Ghana and the remaining 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Goldenrae is held by the Government of Ghana. |
| |
| On October 20, 2005, XGRI changed its name to Xtra Energy Corp. (“Xtra Energy”). |
| |
| On October 20, 2005, the Company incorporated Xtra Oil & Gas Ltd. (“XOG”) in Alberta, Canada. |
| |
| On December 21, 2005, Canadiana changed its name to Xtra-Gold Exploration Limited (“XG Exploration”). |
| |
| On January 13, 2006, Goldenrae changed its name to Xtra-Gold Mining Limited (“XG Mining”). |
| |
| On March 2, 2006, the Company incorporated Xtra Oil & Gas (Ghana) Limited (“XOGG”) in Ghana. |
| |
| On November 24, 2012, the Company changed its residency address from the USA to the British Virgin Islands. |
| |
2. | CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
| |
| The Company is in the early stages of development and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its exploration and acquisition activities. The Company has incurred a loss of $255,072 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 and has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $25,808,545. Results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan, which is typical for junior exploration companies. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
| |
| Management of the Company (“Management”) is of the opinion that sufficient financing will be obtained from external financing and further share issuances to meet the Company’s obligations. At March 31, 2014, the Company has working capital of $1,217,053, which would not be sufficient to fund the current level of operations for a period greater than twelve months. The Company’s discretionary exploration activities do have considerable scope for flexibility in terms of the amount and timing of exploration expenditure, and expenditures may be adjusted accordingly if required. |

XTRA-GOLD RESOURCES CORP. |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) |
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars) |
March 31, 2014 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d...) |
| |
| Generally accepted accounting principles |
| |
| These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”). |
| |
| Principles of consolidation |
| |
| These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xtra Energy (from October 31, 2003), XG Exploration (from February 16, 2004), XOG (from October 20, 2005) and XOGG (from March 2, 2006) and its 90% owned subsidiary, XG Mining (from December 22, 2004). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. |
| |
| Use of estimates |
| |
| The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties, inputs used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and warrants, inputs used in the calculation of the asset retirement obligation, and the valuation allowance applied to deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows. |
| |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| |
| The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash held at financial institutions. |
| |
| Receivables |
| |
| No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided. Management has evaluated all receivables and believes they are all collectible. |
| |
| Recovery of gold |
| |
| Recovery of gold and other income is recognized when title and the risks and rewards of ownership to delivered bullion and commodities pass to the buyer and collection is reasonably assured. |
| |
| Trading securities |
| |
| The Company’s trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. |
| |
| Non-Controlling Interest |
| |
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XG Mining (from December 22, 2004). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company records a non-controlling interest which reflects the 10% portion of the earnings (loss) of XG Mining allocable to the holders of the minority interest. |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) |
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars) |
March 31, 2014 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d...) |
| |
| Equipment |
| |
| Equipment is recorded at cost and is being amortized over its estimated useful lives using the declining balance method at the following annual rates: |
| Furniture and equipment | 20% |
| Computer equipment | 30% |
| Vehicles | 30% |
| Exploration equipment | 20% |
Mineral properties and exploration and development costs
The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Asset retirement obligations
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).

| |
| Stock-based compensation |
| |
| The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards to employees and directors and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value. |
| |
| The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 which require that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock- based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. Nonemployee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. For stock options granted to non- employees, the fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model. |
| |
| Warrants |
| |
| The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value using the appropriate valuation methodology and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The warrants are presented as a liability because they do not meet the criteria of Accounting Standard Codification (”ASC”) topic 480 for equity classification. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrants are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. |
| |
| Income taxes |
| |
| The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under the asset and liability method 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. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized. |
| |
| Loss per share |
| |
| Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if converted method. As of March 31, 2014, there were 964,500 warrants (December 31, 2013 – 964,500) and 2,462,000 stock options (December 31, 2013 – 2,462,000) outstanding which have not been included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as these were anti-dilutive. |
| |
| Foreign exchange |
| |
| The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations. |

| |
| Financial instruments |
| |
| The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. The Company has its cash primarily in commercial banks in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. |
| |
| Fair value of financial assets and liabilities |
| |
| The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. |
| |
| The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount. |
| |
| Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income. |
| |
| Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. Investments in trading securities are classified as held for trading, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized in income. |
| |
| The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset: |

| Kibi, Kwabeng and Pameng Projects |
| |
| The Company holds an individual mining lease over the lease area of each of the Kibi Project, the Kwabeng Project and the Pameng Project, all of which are located in Ghana. Each of these mining leases grant the Company mining rights to produce gold in the respective lease areas until July 26, 2019 with respect to the Kwabeng and Pameng Projects, and until December 17, 2015 with respect to the Kibi Project (formerly known as the Apapam Project), the latter of which can be renewed for up to a further 30 year term on application and payment of applicable fees to the Minerals Commission of Ghana (“Mincom”). All gold production will be subject to a production royalty of the net smelter returns (“NSR”) payable to the Government of Ghana. |
| |
| Banso and Muoso Project |
| |
| During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company made an application to Mincom to convert a single prospecting license (“PL”) securing its interest in the Banso and Muoso Projects located in Ghana to a mining lease covering the lease area of each of these Projects. This application was approved by Mincom who subsequently made recommendation to the Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines to grant an individual mining lease for each Project. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2010, the Government of Ghana granted two mining leases for these Projects dated January 6, 2011. These mining leases grant the Company mining rights to produce gold in the respective lease areas until January 5, 2025 with respect to the Banso Project and until January 5, 2024 with respect to the Muoso Project. These mining leases supersede the PL previously granted to the Company. Among other things, both mining leases require that the Company (i) pay the Government of Ghana a fee of $30,000 in consideration of granting of each lease (paid in the March 2011 quarter); (ii) pay annual ground rent of GH¢260.00 (USD$167) for the Banso Project and GH¢280.00 (USD$180) for the Muoso Project; (iii) commence commercial production of gold within two years from the date of the mining leases; and (iv) pay a production royalty to the Government of Ghana. The Company has filed for the necessary permits to commence work on the project. The permits are currently pending approval. |
| |
| The Company executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Buccaneer Gold Corp. (“Buccaneer”), formerly Verbina Resources Inc., a company related by two directors in common, on July 21, 2010 whereby Buccaneer could acquire an undivided 55% interest in the Company’s interest in the mineral rights of the Company’s Banso and Muoso concessions (“Concessions”). On January 21, 2011 the terms of the agreement were amended. |
| |
| Pursuant to the 2011 LOI, Buccaneer can acquire a 55% legal and beneficial interest in the Company’s interest in the mineral rights of the Concessions (the “55% Interest”) pursuant to the following terms: Buccaneer shall (i) provide the Company, by February 28, 2011, with notice of its satisfactory completion of due diligence of the Concessions (provided on January 21, 2011), and receipt of regulatory acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange of the 2011 LOI (received on February 16, 2011) (the “Effective Date”); (ii) make a cash payment to the Company of $425,000 consisting of $100,000 upon the Effective Date and $325,000 within 90 days of the Effective Date (received); (iii) issue 1,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares of Buccaneer to the Company upon the Effective Date (issued in the March 2011 quarter); (iv) incur a total of $4,425,000 in exploration expenditures on the Concessions within five (5) years of the Effective Date with $500,000 to be incurred in the first year (completed) from the Effective Date and $1,000,000 in each year thereafter, except that in the final year the exploration expenditures shall be a minimum of $925,000; and (v) pay to the Company $300,000 in connection with a Versatile Time-domain Electromagnetic (“VTEM”), Magnetic and Radiometric survey to be flown over the Concessions by the Company, which payment shall be credited toward the $500,000 in exploration expenditures referred to above in subparagraph (iv). In 2013, the Company agreed to extend the term to complete exploration spending by a further two years. |
| |
| Upon Buccaneer having exercised the option and earned the 55% Interest, the Company shall execute and deliver to Buccaneer transfer documentation including a definitive binding option agreement and a deed of transfer (the “Transfer Documents”) which shall be effective to transfer and convey the 55% Interest. The Transfer Documents will require approval from the Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines. |

Option agreement on Edum Banso Project
In October 2005, XG Exploration entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Adom Mining Limited (“Adom”) to acquire 100% of Adom’s right, title and interest in and to a prospecting license on the Edum Banso concession (the “Edum Banso Project”) located in Ghana. Adom further granted XG Exploration the right to explore, develop, mine and sell mineral products from this concession. The prospecting license has been renewed for a two year period expiring on July 21, 2013.
The consideration paid for the Option Agreement was $15,000 with additional payments of $5,000 to be paid on the anniversary date of the Option Agreement in each year during the term which term has been extended to November 11, 2013. Further net smelter royalty payments, based on proven and probable reserves and gold production, were also payable to Adom.
During August 2011, the Company assigned its interest in the Edum Banso Project to Discovery Gold Corporation (DCGD -previously Norman Cay Development Inc.) for a cash payment of $125,000, 1,000,000 DCGD shares, valued at $260,000 at the date of issuance, and an option payment of $135,000 payable in six months from the date of assignment of the option interest. If DCGD did not exercise its six-month option the Project reverted to the Company. Of the payments received, $20,000 reduced the carrying value of the Edum Banso Project on the Balance Sheet and the remainder reduced exploration spending in the third quarter of 2011. A $25,000 finder’s fee was paid to introduce the Company to DCGD and this fee reduced the gain recorded in the Statement of Operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, DCGD paid a final option payment of $135,000 to the Company in return for all rights and obligations related to the Edum Banso Project.
Mining lease and prospecting license commitments
The Company is committed to expend, from time to time fees payable (a) to the Minerals Commission for: (i) an extension of an expiry date of a prospecting license (currently $15,000 for each occurrence); (ii) a grant of a mining lease (currently $100,000); (iii) an extension of a mining lease (currently $100,000); (iv) annual operating permits; and (v) the conversion of a reconnaissance license to a prospecting license (currently $20,000); (b) to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) (of Ghana) for: (i) processing and certificate fees with respect to EPA permits; (ii) the issuance of permits before the commencement of any work at a particular concession; or (iii) the posting of a bond in connection with any mining operations undertaken by the Company; (c) for a legal obligation associated with our mineral properties for clean up costs when work programs are completed; and (d) an aggregate of less than $500 in connection with annual ground rent and mining permits to enter upon and gain access to the areas covered by the Company’s mining leases and future reconnaissance

8. | CAPITAL STOCK(cont’d…) Warrants |
| |
| At March 31, 2014, the following warrants were outstanding: |
| Number of Warrants | Exercise Price | Expiry Date |
| | | |
| 964,500 | CAD$1.00 | December 21, 2014 |
Warrant transactions and the number of warrants outstanding are summarized as follows:
| | | March 31, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Balance, beginning of period | | 964,500 | | | CAD$ 1.00 | | | 964,500 | | | CAD$ 1.00 | |

| Balance, end of period | | 964,500 | | | CAD$ 1.00 | | | 964,500 | | | CAD$ 1.00 | |
| Under US GAAP when the strike price of the warrants is denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency, the warrants would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, and would consequently be considered to be a derivative liability. The common share purchase warrants described above are denominated in CAD dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. As a result, the Company determined that these warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of these warrants as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The derivative will be subsequently marked to market through income. |
| |
| The Company determined that the fair value of the warrant liability at March 31, 2014 to be $992 (December 31, 2013 - $992). The fair value of the warrants has been estimated at March 31, 2014 using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model, using a volatility of 14%, risk free interest rate of 0.015%, expected life of 83 days, and a dividend yield of Nil. |
| |
| The value at issuance was determined to be $275,735 based upon a Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model calculation. The fair value of the warrants has been initially estimated at December 21, 2012 using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model, using a volatility of 95%, risk free interest rate of 1.25%, expected life of 18 months, and a dividend yield of Nil. The Company recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance and recognized the amount as financing expense in the consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrant liability was valued at $992 and the fair value adjustment was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. |

12. | CONTINGENCY AND COMMITMENTS |
| a) | The Company leases 881 square feet for its corporate office located at Suite 902, 357 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario. The lease has a 60 month term commencing November 1, 2012, at approximately CAD$3,667 (US$3,318) per month. |
| | |
| b) | In late 2009, the Government of Ghana announced an increase in the gross overriding royalty (“GOR”) required payable by all mining companies in the country from 3% to 5%. The industry standard remained at 3% due to stability agreements which were in place with a number of companies. From the commencement of gold recovery in July 2010 to September 2010, the Company paid the GOR at 5% and as of October 2010, the Company began to pay the GOR at 3% until July 1, 2011 when the Company again paid the royalty at 5%. As a result of this decision, there is a potential unrecorded liability of $84,300 related to 2010 activities and a recorded liability of $120,000 related to 2011 activities. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that these amounts will become payable a provision has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the timing of the increase. |
| | |
| c) | There was a theft of cash totaling $130,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is actively pursuing the return of these funds by working with the appropriate authorities. Since the outcome of any recovery is currently not reasonably measurable, the Company expensed these amounts. In the event that resolution of the dispute results in a recovery, the Company will recognize the recovery in the period that the final determination of the amount is made. |
| | |
| d) | Subject to shareholder approval at the Annual and Special Meeting, the Company intends to re-price certain stock options to CAD$0.50 per share. A non-cash expense in 2014 will result from this intended re-pricing. |
13. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT NOTE |
| |
| Subsequent to March 31, 2014, an aggregate of 139,500 common shares were re-purchased for US$41,041 (CAD$45,110) and cancelled. |
