NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
California Gold Corp. (“California Gold” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation whose principal focus is the identification, acquisition, and development of rare and precious metals mining properties in the Americas. The Company is still in the exploration stage and has not generated any revenues from its mining properties to date.
The Company was incorporated on April 19, 2004 under the name of Arbutus Resources, Inc. On August 9, 2007, the Company changed its name to US Uranium, Inc. On March 9, 2009, the Company changed its name to California Gold Corp.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of July 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the three and six months then ended have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements. The financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The balance sheet at January 31, 2011 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, the notes to the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011 as filed with the SEC.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Acquisition-Related Costs
For the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company incurred certain costs related to the AuroTellurio Acquisition (as defined below in Note 4). Those costs included legal, valuation, travel, and other professional or consulting fees. The Company accounted for those acquisition-related costs under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The costs were recognized as mineral property expenses in the periods in which the costs were incurred and the services received. The Company recorded $64,234 and $130,408 in costs for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, and none for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the vesting period.
The Company also adopted FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, to account for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services. Such awards for services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more reliably measurable.
For the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company recorded $329,989 and $340,544, respectively, in stock-based compensation as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company did not issue any share-based payments to employees and non-employees during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company excluded options to purchase 11,000,000 shares of common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect adoption of the new accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 – MINING RIGHTS
On February 11, 2011, the Company entered into a property option agreement (the “AuroTellurio Option Agreement”) with Mexivada Mining Corp. (“Mexivada”), which formalized and replaced the earlier Letter Agreement with Mexivada dated October 2010. Under the terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement, the Company is committed to incur $3,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Property over a four year period at an investment rate of at least $750,000 per year. The Company will earn a 20% vested interest in the AuroTellurio Property in the first year of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement by investing $750,000 in an exploration program and up to an additional 60% interest in the Property, in blocks of 20% each, by investing an additional $750,000 in the exploration program in each of the following three years, or sooner, and meeting all of the other required terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement. Each 20% interest will vest earlier if each year’s cash and stock payments to Mexivada and $750,000 exploration expenditure investment are completed earlier than scheduled.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will act as “Operator,” exclusively responsible, in consultation with Mexivada, for carrying out and administering exploration, development and mining work on the AuroTellurio Property. If costs of the exploration program exceed the agreed upon $3,000,000 investment, the Company will share additional costs with Mexivada on a proportionate share basis. Once the Company has earned its full 80% interest in the AuroTellurio Property, the Company will form a joint venture with Mexivada applicable to the further development and commercialization of the AuroTellurio Property.

As defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This Topic requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are based on observable market data and are directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. These include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, adjusted quoted market prices, inputs from observable data such as interest rate and yield curves, volatilities or default rates observable at commonly quoted intervals or inputs derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are unobservable or less observable from objective sources. Unobservable inputs should only be used to the extent observable inputs are not available. These inputs maintain the concept of an exit price from the perspective of a market participant and should reflect assumptions of other market participants. An entity should consider all market participant assumptions that are available without unreasonable cost and effort. These are given the lowest priority and are generally used in internally developed methodologies to generate management's best estimate of the fair value when no observable market data is available.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in the Company’s balance sheet. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Cash, Prepaid assets, Mining rights (deposits), Accounts payable, and Accrued liabilities
The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.
Derivative liabilities
The Company’s determination of fair value of its derivative instruments incorporates various factors required under FASB Topic ASC 815. The fair values of the Company’s derivatives are valued using less observable data from objective sources as inputs into internal valuation models. Therefore, the Company considers the fair value of its derivatives to be Level 3 hierarchy. At July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, the aggregate Level 3 fair value of the derivative liabilities was $2,335,849 and $2,305,770, respectively.

OVERVIEW
California Gold is an exploration stage mining company whose principal focus is the identification, acquisition, and development of rare and precious metals mining properties in the Americas.
Our primary focus is on the exploration and development of the La Viuda Concessions south of Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico, where, we believe, deposits of tellurium, gold and silver may exist in economically minable quantities. We are still in the exploration stage and have not generated any revenues from our mining properties in Mexico.
The Mexivada Property Option Agreement
On February 11, 2011, we entered into a property option agreement (the “AuroTellurio Option Agreement”) with Mexivada Mining Corp. (“Mexivada”) to acquire up to an 80% interest in Mexivada’s La Viuda and La Viuda-1 concessions comprising its AuroTellurio tellurium-gold-silver property (the “La Viuda Concessions,” the “AuroTellurio Property” or, the “Property”) south of Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico.
Under the terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement, we will acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial ownership interest in the AuroTellurio Property by, in addition to making certain cash payments and share issuances to Mexivada (as discussed above), incurring up to $3,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Property over a four year period at an investment rate of at least $750,000 per year. We will earn a 20% vested interest in the AuroTellurio Property in the first year of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement by investing $750,000 in an exploration program (the “Exploration Program”) and up to an additional 60% interest in the Property, in blocks of 20% each, by investing an additional $750,000 in the exploration program in each of the following three years, or sooner, and meeting all of the other required terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement. Each 20% interest will vest earlier if each year’s cash and stock payments to Mexivada and $750,000 exploration expenditure investment are completed earlier than scheduled.
First Closing under the AuroTellurio Option Agreement
On August 4, 2011, we conducted the first closing (the “First Closing”) under the AuroTellurio Option Agreement. Prior to the First Closing, we had made cash payments to Mexivada totaling $20,000. On the date of the First Closing, we paid Mexivada an additional $10,000 in cash and issued to Mexivada 250,000 shares of our restricted common stock. In exchange, we received from Mexivada four fully executed title deeds, each transferring to us a twenty percent (20%) interest in the La Viuda Concessions comprising the AuroTellurio Property. We will hold these title deeds in escrow until we meet the terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement for the vesting of each twenty percent (20%) interest. At that time, the relevant title deed will be released to us from escrow and filed with the Ministry of Mines in Mexico, to evidence our ownership in that specific twenty percent interest in the AuroTellurio Property. If we default on our commitments under the AuroTellurio Option Agreement or otherwise determine not to proceed with the acquisition of the AuroTellurio Property, all unvested interests and related title deeds in the AuroTellurio Property will be returned to Mexivada.
14
The La Viuda Concessions
The La Viuda Concessions, which cover approximately 18,840 acres (7,624 hectares) south of Moctezuma, Sonora Mexico, comprise two exploration concessions granted by the Mexican government to Compania Minera Mexivada, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mexivada.
The AuroTellurio Property Exploration Program
On May 16, 2011, we entered into a surface rights agreement with a land owner in Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico where the La Viuda Concessions are located. In return for the easement for our exploration of the La Viuda Concessions, we will pay the land owner $14,400 for each year in which we conduct exploration work on this land.
We have begun Phase 1 of our exploration program and we are currently conducting mapping, trenching and sampling programs at the AuroTellurio Property. These activities will be followed by planned gravity and magnetic geophysical surveys in preparation for an initial 3,000-meter drilling program that is planned for implementation by the end of the year.
The La Bambolla mine where gold-tellurium mineralization was discovered in the early 1900’s, is located less than a mile from the AuroTellurio Property. Historical data suggest that tellurium-gold mineralization at the adjoining La Bambolla mine occurs along a regional structural system with an average S 70° E trend where a swarm of relatively narrow, sub-parallel, silica-rich mineralized veins are present. At La Bambolla, these veins are either vertical, or have steep dips, and range from 0.14 to 2.60 meters in width. Based on analytical results of more than 500 underground channel samples taken at La Bambolla in the 1980's, the grades in the mine range from 0.01 to 3.26 % tellurium and 0.03 to 4.90 oz/ton gold, respectively.
Geologic mapping and sampling on the AuroTellurio Property have thus far confirmed that the regional structure hosting the tellurium-gold vein system at La Bambolla extends east-southeasterly onto the AuroTellurio Property. Zones of fracture-controlled silicification, strikingly similar to those described at La Bambolla, have been mapped in our grounds to the east-southeast. We believe that these features could be spatially located at a higher level than similar alteration-mineralization features found at La Bambolla. This interpretation, furthermore, appears to support our initial geologic model that a series of essentially north-trending, post-mineral faults could have down-dropped segments of the original mineralized system to the east. Our current belief, based on projections from the existing data, is that ore-grade tellurium-gold mineralization is highly likely to exist at depth within our La Viuda Concessions. We expect that our planned gravity and ground magnetics surveys will help us corroborate this structural model, and guide us to select favorable diamond drilling sites.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended July 31, 2011 and 2010
We are still in our exploration stage and have generated no revenues to date.
We incurred total operating expenses of $513,464 and $86,128 for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These expenses increased in the three months ended July 31, 2011, primarily as a result of increased general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $86,128 in the three months ended July 31, 2010 to $449,167 in the three months ended July 31, 2011, primarily due to stock-based compensation expenses relating to certain consulting services provided to the Company, as well as management fees, salaries and wages, and other consulting expenses. Additionally, we incurred acquisition-related costs recorded as mineral property expenses on the statements of expenses, as a result of the Company entering into the AuroTellurio Option Agreement in February 2011 with Mexivada, pursuant to which we have been granted an option to acquire up to an 80% legal and beneficial ownership interest in Mexivada’s La Viuda Concessions in Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico. We did not have such costs in the prior year.
In the three months ended July 31, 2011, we had non-operating income of $827,456, compared to non-operating expenses of $665. The increase of $828,121 over the prior year was primarily due to a $826,978 unrealized gain on derivative instruments relating to the issuance of the 2010 and 2011 warrants as a result of the private placement offering completed in December 2010 and January 2011, and the over-allotment in April, June and July 2011.
15
We had net income of $313,992 for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to net loss of $86,793.
We have generated no operating revenues and our net loss from inception through July 31, 2011 was $3,025,451.
Six Months Ended July 31, 2011 and 2010
We incurred total operating expenses of $681,335 and $128,338 for the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $552,997 increase over the prior year was primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $128,338 for the six months ended July 31, 2010 to $550,864 for the six months ended July 31, 2011, primarily due to stock-based compensation expenses relating to certain consulting services provided to the Company, as well as management fees, salaries and wages, and other consulting expenses. Additionally, we incurred acquisition-related costs, as discussed above, relating to the AuroTellurio Option Agreement in the amount of $130,408 for the six months ended July 31, 2011.
We also reported non-operating income of $514,987 for the six months ended July 31, 2011, compared to non-operating expenses of $1,056 for the six months ended July 31, 2010. The increase of $516,043 over the prior year was primarily due to a $513,955 unrealized gain on derivative instruments relating to the issuance of the 2010 and 2011 warrants as a result of the private placement offering completed in December 2010 and January 2011, and the over-allotment in April, June and July 2011.
Our net losses for six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 were $166,348 and $129,394, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of July 31, 2011 was $1,245,755, compared to $1,268,254 as of January 31, 2011.
On January 13, 2011, we completed the second closing of a private placement (the “2010/2011 Private Placement”), in which we sold an aggregate of 61,478,258 units (the “Units”) of our securities for gross proceeds of $1,536,956, at an offering price of $0.025 per Unit. 39,478,258 of the Units consisted of one share of our common stock and an 18-month warrant to purchase one-half of one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per whole share. The remaining 22,000,000 Units included our Series A Preferred Stock instead of our common stock and warrants exercisable for our common stock.
In April 2011, we entered into a PPO over-allotment option and sold an additional 8,000,000 Units of our securities for gross proceeds of $200,000 at an offering price of $0.025 per Unit. The Units consisted of one share of our common stock and an 18-month warrant to purchase one-half of one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per whole share.
On July 15, 2011, we completed the second and final closing of an over-allotment option on the 2010/2011 Private Placement. Under this over-allotment option, we sold to various institutional and accredited investors and non-U.S. persons 8,000,000 additional Units for gross proceeds of $200,000. In total, the Company sold 77,478,258 Units in the 2010/2011 Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,936,956.
Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity, and our sources of liquidity primarily have been debt and proceeds from the sale of Units in our 2010/2011 Private Placement. Although we have begun the acquisition of the AuroTellurio Property, this property will require exploration and development that could take years to complete before it begins to generate revenues. There can be no assurances that the AuroTellurio Property will be successfully developed to the revenue producing stage. If we are not successful in our proposed rare and precious metals mining operations, our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition will suffer materially.
16
As a result of the 2010/2011 Private Placement, we have sufficient funds to meet our first year requirements under the AuroTellurio Agreement, including the requirement that we pay Mexivada an additional $10,000 at the First Closing (this payment was made) and invest $750,000 in the Exploration Program. If we determine to proceed with the exploration of the AuroTellurio Property after the first year, we will be required under the terms of the AuroTellurio Agreement to invest an additional $750,000 in the Exploration Program per year for each of the following three years. We will also be required to pay Mexivada $40,000 upon the first anniversary of the First Closing, $50,000 upon the second anniversary of the First Closing, $70,000 upon the third anniversary of the First Closing, and $100,000 upon the fourth anniversary of the First Closing, for a total of $290,000. We do not have this capital at this time and we will have to raise these amounts, plus additional amounts for general working capital purposes, in the capital markets. We plan to seek to raise such capital through additional sales of our equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available to us or, if it is available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our expected needs. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing, we may not be able to proceed with our exploration and development plans for the AuroTellurio Property or meet our ongoing operational working capital needs.
Various factors outside of our control, including the price of rare and precious metals, overall market and economic conditions, the downturn and volatility in the US equity markets, and the trading price of our common stock may limit our ability to raise the capital needed to execute our plan of operations in the following years. We recognize that the US economy is currently experiencing a period of uncertainty and that the capital markets have been depressed from recent levels. These or other factors could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. As a result of an inability to raise additional capital, our short-term or long-term liquidity and our ability to execute our plan of operations, including our ability to exercise our rights to acquire up to an additional 60% interest in the La Viuda Concessions, could be significantly impaired.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with our January 31, 2011, audited financial statements and notes thereto, which can be found in our Form 10-K filing on the SEC website at www.sec.gov under our SEC File Number 333-134549.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
The management of California Gold Corp. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of James D. Davidson, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of what might be deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below.
17
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 of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our sole officer concluded that, during the period covered by this quarterly report, our internal controls over financial reporting were not operating effectively. Management did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2011; however, it has identified the following deficiencies that, when aggregated, may possibly be viewed as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date:
| 1. | We do not have an audit committee. While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures. |
| 2. | We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. We currently only have one officer overseeing all transactions. This has resulted in several deficiencies including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements, and proper application of accounting policies: |
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth the two items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have raised sufficient capital to do so:
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
