While the information presented in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the interim periods presented. Except as disclosed below, these interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as Brazil Gold Corp’s. (The “Company”) audited June 30, 2010 annual financial statements. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with Brazil Gold Corp’s. June 30, 2010 audited financial statements.
The information as of June 30, 2010 is taken from the audited financial statements of this date.
| | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates No. 2010-21 (ASU No. 2010-21) “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules” and No. 2010-22 (ASU No. 2010-22) “Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs”. ASU No 2010-21 amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release no. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. ASU No. 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. Both ASU No. 2010-21 and ASU No. 2010-22 are effective upon issuance. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-21 and No. 2010-22 will not have a mate rial impact on the Company’s financial statements.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. However, the Company has negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficit and has losses to date of approximately $4,230,000. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The Company is seeking additional means of financing to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the Com pany will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. Management believes that actions planned and presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
Note 3 Income Taxes
We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes. We have had losses to date, and therefore, have paid no income tax.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. Our deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards. Our deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the NOL carry forwards. The net operating loss carry forward, if not used, will expire in various years through 2030. NOL carry forwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.

Note 4 Note Receivable
The Company carries its note receivable at cost or loan balance, subject to the valuation procedures as described below. The book value of this financial instrument is representative of its fair value. This note is for funds advanced to Rusheen Handels AG, a Swiss corporation (“Rusheen”), with whom the Company was in negotiations and doing due diligence to acquire Rusheen’s 99% interest in its Brazilian subsidiary Amazônia Capital e Participaçơes Ltda. (“Amazonia”).
As at December 31, 2010, the Company had advanced $1,381,000 to Rusheen under a note receivable arrangement ($577,000 in 2009). The notes are uncollateralized and bear interest as 12% effective January 2, 2010. There is no set maturity date. Interest is accrued at 12% per annum, not compounded and calculated monthly on the note receivable as earned. No interest was imputed during the three-period ended December 31, 2010. Imputed interest of $94,401 was recorded as at December 31, 2010.
As per the Company’s accounting policy, the Company will maintain a valuation for certain loans that are delinquent, have significant collateral deficiencies or have other attributes that reduce their collectability potential. The valuation account is netted against notes receivable. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, management determined to write-off $1,507,226 including imputed interest towards this note receivable, as the agreement to acquire the Brazilian company was rescinded and repayment of such note receivable, imputed interest and a sundry receivable are substantially doubtful and considered impaired.
Note 5 Due to/from Related Parties
As of December 31, 2010 the Company had a total of $100,563 in accrued consulting fees as due to officers of the Company. These balances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand and do not follow any specific repayment terms.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a total of $90,000 in advances payable to officers of the Company for expenses paid on behalf of the Company. These balances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand and do not follow any specific repayment terms.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a total of $2,111 in accounts receivable from a related party. This balance was a result of overpayment to the related party in relation to expenses paid on behalf of the Company. This balance is unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand and does not follow any specific repayment terms.

Note 6 Advances Payable
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a total of $42,940 in advances payable to unrelated third parties for expenses paid on behalf of the Company in conjunction with the rescinded acquisition agreement. These balances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand and do not follow any specific repayment terms.
Note 7 Convertible Debenture
On January 2, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third-party for an aggregate loan facility that is not to exceed $2 million, allowing for draw-downs. In the form of convertible promissory note, for value received, on July 2, 2011 being the maturity date, these advances must be repaid, or the promissory note holder may convert at its election the outstanding balance , plus interest accrued at the rate of 12% per annum, calculated monthly and not compounded, into shares of common stock at the lesser of (a) $1.00 per share and (b) the average weighted trading price for the Company’s common stock during the 20-day period prior to the conversion date.
This note was made up of two categories: Funds advanced to Rusheen Handel AG as disclosed in Note 4 above and funds advanced to the Company for its ongoing operating expenses being: $1,381,000 and $422,399 respectively. In addition, interest accrued to the end of December 31, 2010 on the note was $162,770.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the convertible promissory notes. The model requires management to make estimates which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. The guidance on beneficial conversions features applies to both convertible debt securities and convertible preferred stock. A beneficial conversion feature is an embedded conversion right that is in the money, that is, the conversion feature enables the holder to obtain the underlying common stock at below market price.
In addition, certain convertible instruments may have a contingently adjustable conversion ratio that is variable based on future events such as any of the following:
| · | A liquidation or a change in control of the entity; |
| · | A subsequent round of financing at a price lower than the convertible instrument's original conversion price; or |
| · | An initial public offering at a share price lower than an agreed-upon amount. |
The beneficial conversion feature has been deducted from the total amount owed, of $97,129 and shown as additional paid up capital. This beneficial conversion feature has been amortized over the life of the convertible debenture, which amounts to $38,244, for the six month period ended December 31, 2010.
Note 8 Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of the pronouncement, stock-based compensation cost is measure at the grant date based on the value of the award granted, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and recognized over the period in which the award vests. The stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,221,543 and Nil, respectively. Remaining compensation expense relating to nonvested options is $303,893 and will be recognized within the 18 months.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. For purposes of the calculation, the following assumptions were used:
| Risk free interest rate | 1.62% |
| Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |
| Expected stock price volatility | 110.00% |
| Expected Life of options | 3.24 years |

In May 2010, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement to acquire 99% of the outstanding shares of ACP. As part of the acquisition, the Company issued 44,000,000 shares to ACP as contingent consideration for acquiring the 99% interest in ACP. On September 15, 2010, the Company, effective as of June 1, 2010, entered into a Mutual Rescission Agreement and General Release between the Company and Rusheen, pursuant to which the parties agreed that all agreements constituting and comprising the acquisition of Amazonia entered into on May 19, 2010, as amended and consummated on June 1, 2010, were rescinded. As a result of such rescission, all of the 99% interest in the issued and outstanding share capital of Amazonia held by Brazil Gold Corp. was transferred back to Rusheen and Rusheen now owns 99% of the issued and outstanding ownership units of Amazonia. Furthermore, the 44,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued in connection with the acquisition were returned to the Company. The accounts of the Company reflect such rescission as at June 30, 2010.
Note 11 Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
On January 21, 2011 the Company announced it had entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with privately held Mineracao Rio De Padras Ltda to acquire the Luziania Gold Project in Goias State, Brazil.
The LOI is a non-binding agreement and the terms of acquisition will be based on the results of Brazil Gold’s due diligence review of the project, with industry standard guidelines.
The following information is provided primarily by the Luziania Gold Project seller and its agents. It is preliminary and subject to final due diligence by Brazil Gold management. The seller’s forecasts and projections are also included as reference data points for fuller disclosure only, and do not represent the Company’s projections or forecasts.
The Luziania Gold Project (LGP) is located about 50 kilometers southwest of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, and ten km from the City of Luziania with excellent roads and access to power, water and skilled labor. Under active development for the past 21 years, LGP carries mining permits, environmental impact studies and ore recovery analyses. Brazil’s National Department of Mineral Production has approved the LGP project, subject only to the customary Mining Concession by the Mine and Energy Ministry. The City of Luziania offers all necessary logistic support including communication, health care and its own airport.
The initial resource targeted for production is the soft, oxidized ‘saprolite ores’ overlying a sulfide ore body.
Resource calculation of the LGP gold resource was done using the section method, by the UNAMGEM office, in Vancouver, Canada, following internationally accepted methodology and standards.
Only the oxidized material was evaluated, that is, the upper layer until the depth of 13 meters. The lower portion of the deposit, which consists of sulfide material was not considered as part of the resource.
The initial resource is based on more than 500 drill holes and 150 pit samples. Metallurgical recovery is estimated at 73% to 86%. Metallurgical testing was conducted by international quality labs including Lakefield Research in Canada.

The property covers 647 hectares (1,599 acres) although the current utilization plan covers only 109 hectares or 16.8 percent.
Additionally, other areas of the LGP property have been drilled. Falcao was initially explored with nine diamond drill and twelve reverse circulation drills and, at current gold prices, merits further exploration.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Our principal executive offices are located at 800 Bellevue Way, Suite 400, Bellevue, WA, USA 98004. Our telephone number is (425)637-3080. Our fiscal year end is June 30.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We incorporated as Dynamic Alert Limited (referred to herein as “Brazil Gold”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terms) on June 17, 2004, in the State of Nevada. On December 22, 2009, as amended February 25, 2010, pursuant to the provisions of Articles of Merger, Dynamic Alert Limited, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brazil Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on November 3, 2009, were merged, with Dynamic Alert Limited (“the Company”) being the surviving entity. In connection with such merger, our name was changed from Dynamic Alert Limited to Brazil Gold Corp. on March 15, 2010. On March 15, 2010, the Company’s ticker symbol on OTCBB was changed to “BRZG”. Our principal executive offices are located at 800 Bellevue Way, Suite 400, Bellevue, WA, USA 98004. Our telephone number is 425-637-3080. Our fiscal year end is June 30.
Since inception until November 2009, we attempted to build a business that assisted consumers with their security needs. Our goal had been to help our customers create and implement a personalized security plan by offering a three-fold service. Our first focus was to assist our clients in developing personalized security plans. Our second focus was to source and market personal security products. Our third focus was to provide personal protection on an as-needed basis. We were actively seeking to add new products and/or services that we could offer. The results were lack-luster, so it was decided to change our business focus and look for other opportunities and discontinue the security operation with effect from January 1, 2010. Therefore, we started reviewing mineral exploration and other opportunities with the objective of bringing revenue to the Company.
It is for this reason that on November 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with Rusheen Handels AG, a Swiss corporation ("Rusheen") for the acquisition by the Company of Rusheen's 99% ownership interest in its Brazilian subsidiary Amazônia Capital e Participaçơes Ltda. (“Amazonia”) in exchange for (a) 44 million restricted shares of the Company's common stock and (b) a 2.5% net smelter return royalty on mineral production from Amazonia mineral claims located in Brazil. Amazonia is the owner of numerous poly-metallic mineral claims covering approximately 824,411 hectares (2,037,119 acres) in three states in the Tapajos Greenstone Belt in the Amazon Basin of Brazil. The primary mineral target is gold, but copper, nic kel, iron ore, manganese and tin are also found in the area. The legal claims are located in three western states: Amazonas, Mato Grosso and Rondonia.
The agreement to acquire Rusheen's ownership interest in Amazonia was contingent on the parties entering into a written definitive acquisition agreement, approval by both parties' board of directors and upon the completion of a due diligence investigation by each party.
On May19, 2010, Brazil Gold Corp., entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Rusheen whereby the Company was to acquire all of Rusheen’s ownership units in “Amazonia.
Unfortunately, the size of the package of the mineral claims resulted in a lengthy due diligence exercise and upon completion and signing the definitive agreement on May 19, 2010, as set out above, the market conditions had changed, resulting in great difficulty in raising sufficient funds to conduct exploration work on the extensive mineral claims. It is for this reason on September 15, 2010, the Company, effective as of June 1, 2010, entered into a Mutual Rescission Agreement and General Release between the Company and Rusheen, pursuant to which the parties agreed that all agreements constituting and comprising the acquisition of Amazonia entered into on May 19, 2010, as amended and consummated on June 1, 2010, were rescinded. As a result of such rescission, all of the 99% interest in the issued and outstanding share capit al of Amazonia held by Brazil Gold Corp. was transferred back to Rusheen and Rusheen now owns 99% of the issued and outstanding ownership units of Amazonia. Furthermore, the 44,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued in connection with the Acquisition Agreement were returned to the Company and will be cancelled.
On December 23, 2010, we entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with Mineracao Rio De Padreas Ltda., a private Brazilian corporation (“Mineracao”), whereby we will acquire up to 100% of Mineracao’s interests in the Luziania Gold Project located in Goias State, Brazil. The terms of the acquisition will be based on the results of our due diligence review of the project and done in accordance with industry standards.
The Luziania Gold Project (LGP) is located about 50 kilometers southwest of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, and ten kilometers from the City of Luziania with excellent roads and access to power, water and skilled labor.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
At December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of ($2,230,770), compared to a working capital deficit of ($1,685,128), at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010, our total assets consisted of cash of $18, prepaid expenses of $11,243, advance receivable from a related party of $2,111, and capital assets of $1,274. This compares with total assets at June 30, 2010 consisting of cash of $8,125, prepaid expenses of $5,000, advance receivable from a related party of $13,111, and capital assets of $1,495. These material changes have arisen as a result of the Company having raised funds in the form of uncollateralized loan. As at December 31, 2010 $422,399 of the advances payable were uncollateralized with convertible promissory notes, bearing interest at 12% per annum, and due in full July 2011 . Refer to note 7 in the financial statements.
These funds were advanced to Rusheen, so that Amazonia had working capital to fund its property taxes and on-going expenses to ensure it retains such mineral rights. Refer to note 4 in the financial statements.
At December 31, 2010, our total current liabilities increased to $2,244,142 from $1,711,364 at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances payable, and amounts due to related parties increased by $78,142.
Since our existing cash balance is $18, we do not have sufficient funds to carry out normal operations over the next three (3) months. Our short and long-term survival is dependent on funding from sales of securities as necessary or from shareholder loans, and thus, to the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations or the expansion of our business, we may attempt to sell additional equity shares or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. Recent events in worldwide capital markets may make it more difficult for us to raise additional equity or capital. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to us or on acceptable terms.
Result of Operations
We recognized nil revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 (December 31, 2009: nil). This has been disclosed as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
We have recognized $45,964 in revenue from inception. Our short and long term survival is dependent on funding from sales of securities as necessary or from shareholder loans.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
For The Three Months Ended December 31, 2010, Compared To The Three Months Ended December 31, 2009.
There were no revenues from the discontinued operations of the sale of security products and services during the three months ending December 31, 2010, or during the three months ended December 31, 2009.
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, operating expenses were $307,029 compared to $69,728 during the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase was principally due to an increase in our professional and consulting fees for due diligence work being carried out on the ACP operations in Brazil as well as stock based compensation on share options granted.
Operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2010, consisted of depreciation of $111 (2009:nil), travel expenses $6,853 (2009:$1,775), office and administration of $8,175 (2009: $4,667), professional fees of $3,148, (2009: $40,786) consulting fees of $95,000 (2009: $22,500), stock based compensation of $157,681 (2009:nil), and beneficial conversion feature of $36,061 (2009:nil).
During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss of $361,438 compared to a net loss of $69,728 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increased loss of $291,710 was due to an increase in our activities over the prior period as discussed above.
For The Six Months Ended December 31, 2010, Compared To The Six Months Ended December 31, 2009.
There were no revenues from the discontinued operations of the sale of security products and services during the six months ending December 31, 2010, or during the six months ended December 31, 2009.
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, operating expenses were $1,717,183 compared to $75,051 during the six months ended December 31, 2009. The increase was principally due to an increase in our professional and consulting fees for due diligence work being carried out on the ACP operations in Brazil as well as stock based compensation on share options granted and write-off of note receivable.
Operating expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2010, consisted of depreciation of $222 (2009:1,775), travel expenses $16,015 (2009:5,172), office and administration of $19,223 (2009: $45,604), professional fees of $65,520, (2009: $22,500) consulting fees of $185,000 (2009: nil), write-off of note receivable of $160,114 (2009: nil), stock based compensation of $1,232,846 (2009:nil), and beneficial conversion feature of $38,243 (2009:nil).
During the six month period ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss of $1,781,254 compared to a net loss of $74,674 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increased loss of $1,710,413 was due to an increase in our activities over the prior period as discussed above.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management's Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting is as of the quarter ended December 31, 2010. We believe that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses in the system of internal control. Specifically, management identified the following control deficiency:
| · | The Company uses accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
