ROYAL MINES INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2007
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES |
Description of Business – Royal Mines Inc., referred to as the “Company”, is considered an exploration stage company. The Company's primary objective is to bring into commercial production the Company’s mining assets by refining the extracted precious and base metals, and then generate revenues from sales of these refined metals to established commodity brokers. The Company has not yet realized any revenues from its primary objective.
History – The Company was incorporated on July 13, 2005 in the State of Nevada as Pass Technologies Inc. On April 14, 2006 Pass Technologies Inc changed its name to Liquid Commodaties Inc. On November 9, 2006 Liquid Commodaties changed its name to Royal Mines Inc. On January 28, 2007, the Company entered into mineral option agreements to acquire a 87.5% interest in twenty-four (24) mining claims, totaling 3,840 acres, located south of Searchlight, Nevada in the Piute Valley.
Going Concern - As of April 30, 2007, the Company incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $692,268 from operations and has negative working capital of ($590,177). The Company is still in the exploration stage, has not commenced its mining and metals extraction processing operations, raising 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 raising additional sources of capital and the successful execution of the Company’s strategic plan. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation – These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s fiscal year-end is April 30.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.
Mineral Rights – The Company capitalizes acquisition and option costs of mineral property rights. The amount capitalized represents the fair value at the time the mineral rights are acquired. The accumulated costs of acquisition for properties that are developed to the stage of commercial production will be amortized using the unit-of-production method.
Exploration Costs – Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a

| |
| depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense). |
| |
| The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability. |
| |
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets– We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment at least annually and also when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, are less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are based on estimated quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and cash costs of production, capital and reclamation costs, all based on detailed engineering life-of-mine plans. |
| |
| In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. With the exception of other mine-related exploration potential and exploration potential in areas outside of the immediate mine-site, all assets at a particular operation are considered together for purposes of estimating future cash flows. In the case of mineral interests associated with other mine-related exploration potential and exploration potential in areas outside of the immediate mine-site, cash flows and fair values are individually evaluated based primarily on recent exploration results. |
| |
| Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules from proven and probably reserves. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions used in the cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically. Material changes to any of these factors or assumptions discussed above could result in future impairment charges to operations. |
| |
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments– Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market value of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature. |
| |
| Revenue Recognition– Revenues are recognized during the period in which they are received. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred. |
| |
| Research and Development- All research and development expenditures during the period have been charged to operations. |
| |
| Earnings (Loss) Per Share- The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” which |

| |
| establish standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with publicly-held common shares and potential common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. |
| |
| Income Taxes- The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. 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. 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. |
| |
| Segment Information- The Company discloses segment information in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” which uses a management approach to determine reportable segments. The Company operates under one segment. |
| |
| Reclassification- Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation, with no effect on previously reported net loss. |
| |
| Expenses of Offering- The Company accounts for specific incremental costs directly to a proposed or actual offering of securities as a direct charge against the gross proceeds of the offering. |
| |
| Stock-Based Compensation–The Company accounts for stock based employee and director compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure all employee stock based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in their financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on a prospective basis on July 13, 2005. |
| |
| Stock-based compensation arrangements for non-employees are recorded at fair value as the services are provided and the compensation earned. |
| |
| New Accounting Pronouncements– In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB SFAS No. 115,” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value, nor eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” and SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” SFAS No. 159 is effective for our fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial statements. |

| |
| In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” SFAS No. 158 requires companies to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 requires companies to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
| |
| In September 2006, the FASB issued statement SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. We have not yet determined the impact of this Statement on our financial position and results of operations. |
| |
| In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB SFAS No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the financial impact of this statement. |
| |
| In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 156 may be adopted as early as January 1, 2006, for calendar year-end entities, provided that no interim financial statements have been issued. Those not choosing to early adopt are required to apply the provisions as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 (e.g., January 1, 2007, for calendar year-end entities). The intention of this statement is to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, as well as to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting. Specifically, the FASB said SFAS No. 156 permits a service using derivative financial instruments to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute, or fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 156 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
| |
| In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives.The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
