LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (hereinafter “the Company”) was incorporated March 14, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The principal business of the Company is to search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. The Company is an exploration stage corporation that is conducting exploration activities on gold properties located in Tanzania. We are exploring our properties by conducting an extensive program of mapping geology, sampling soils and rocks and having the samples assayed for gold, and by conducting a detailed magnetic survey and drilling to identify faults and other geologic structures that might be helping to control the location of important gold values.
The Company’s administrative office is located in Golden, Colorado. The Company’s year-end is March 31.
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filing. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. are presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be equivalent.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 133”), as amended by SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133”, and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
At June 30, 2009, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted losses per share were the same, at the reporting dates, as the common stock equivalents outstanding would be considered antidilutive.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company has 4,312,500 stock options outstanding.
Exploration Stage
The Company has been in an exploration stage since its formation and has not realized any revenues from operations. It is primarily engaged in searching for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), defies fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
F-5

LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Property and Equipment
Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis. Of the Company’s assets, $2,989 are being depreciated over lives of five years, resulting in total depreciation expense of $100 being recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (hereinafter “SFAS No.109”). Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,880,407 incurred through June 30, 2009. The Company has no revenues, limited cash and losses from operations. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed begin the exploration for gold. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. The Company expects to be able to control its cash outflows based upon funds received.
Mineral Properties
Both costs of acquiring mineral properties and costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.
Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value. (See Note 5)

New Accounting PronouncementsIn June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is for disclosure only and will not impact our financial condition or results of operations. We are currently evaluating the impact to our financial reporting process of providing Codification references in our public filings.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 will become effective for our fiscal year beginning November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. This statement requires additional disclosures concerning a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 166 will have on our financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This Statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and as such, we adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company's adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the interim or annual consolidated financial statements or the disclosures in those financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect this statement to change any of the existing accounting principles.
In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 133), which expands the disclosure requirements in FAS 133 about an entities derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of the date of the report, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of No. ARB 51”, which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling ownership interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company does not have any subsidiaries at the report date.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company currently does not provide consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items 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.
This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
This section of the quarterly report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results of our predictions.
Results of Operations/Plan on Operation
Our exploration objective is to find an economic mineral body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains resources and/or reserves. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average percentage grade of metals to justify removal. If we don’t find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do so or because it is not economically feasible to do so, we will cease operations and you could lose your investment.
In addition, we may not have enough money to complete our exploration of the property. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from another public offering, a private placement or loans. At the present time, we are attempting to raise additional money through private placements, but there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional money in the future. If we need additional money and can’t raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
We must continue to conduct exploration to determine what amount of gold minerals, if any, exist on our property and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed. We have contracted Geo Can Resources Company Ltd. to perform exploration services on all our properties. We rely on Geo Can Resources to do all such work. If Geo Can stops providing exploration services, we may have to suspend our operation until we find a new contractor to continue exploration.
Currently all of our properties are undeveloped raw land. We have started initial exploration and geophysical surveying on the Kalemela Gold Project licenses PL2747/2004, PL3006/2005 and PL2910/2004 property. To our knowledge, none of our properties have ever been commercially mined. The first event that occurred was the acquisition of the prospecting license, PL2747/2004 from Uyowa Gold Mining and Exploration Company Limited, P.O. Box 3167, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This was followed by a physical examination of the property by Dr. Roger A. Newell, a geologist and the company president and a director. The license is recorded in Geo Can Resources Company Limited’s name. Following the initial examination, additional geologic mapping, soil and rock sampling and ground magnetic surveys were conducted.
Subsequently, on November 18, 2008 we acquired the two adjacent and contiguous licenses PL3006/2005 and PL2910/2004 and have expanded our mineral exploration budget with Geo Can to complete a similar initial exploration program as has been conducted on PL2747/2004. We have completed this initial exploration of PL3006/2005 and PL2910/2004.
-19-
On December 22, 2008 we completed an “Option to Purchase Prospecting Licenses Agreement” with Geo Can for PL4339/2006 and PL2702/2004. Under the terms of the agreement and the consideration paid, we will acquire the exclusive and irrevocable option to acquire from the State Mining Corporation a 90% undivided interest in PL4339/2006 and PL2702/2004 through the Geo Can Option. Dr. Roger A. Newell and Mr. Ahmed Magoma completed a field visit to PL2702 and PL5469 on January 19th 2009. Shallow iron stained artisanal mine pits are present and these pits reveal 0.5 meter to 1 meter thick northeast striking and steeply dipping quartz veins. Evidence of earlier RAB drilling was also observed. Plans and budgets for the mineral exploration program on these properties have been prepared with the intent for the program to be conducted during the last two quarters of 2009.
On January 27, 2009, the Company executed a definitive Option Agreement (the “Option”) with Geo Can Resources Company Limited to earn a 50% interest in Geo Can’s Geita Gold Project, Prospecting License Number PL2806. Under the terms of the “Option” the company will acquire a 50% interest in the “Property” totaling 43.77 sq km. The “Option” also provides for the company (“LVCA”) to acquire through “Remaining Interest Options” up to a 75% interest in the gold project.
During 2008 Geo Can Resources Company Limited completed detailed ground magnetic surveys, and both reconnaissance and detailed electrical prospecting (induced polarization) surveys. Following this work, we commenced drilling on the Geita Project in January, and completed 37 reverse circulation drill holes for a total of 3,508 meters (11,506 feet). The drilling identified sub-economic gold values; the best mineralized intersection was 2 meters of 3.03 grams/metric ton from 50 meters to 52 meters in drill hole GR-15. The geophysical and geological information is being reviewed to determine if additional exploration targets exist that justify additional work.
On April 2, 2009 we completed an “Option to Purchase Prospecting Licenses Agreement” with Geo Can for PL4653/2007. Under the terms of the agreement and the consideration paid, we will acquire the exclusive and irrevocable option to acquire from Geo Can an 80% undivided interest in PL4653/2007. A detailed ground magnetic survey was completed on a portion of the prospecting license, and on June 4th, 2009 company consultants began to excavate exploration trenches to further expose previously identified quartz veins. Over thirty trenches have been excavated and rock samples from the trenches have been submitted to an assay laboratory. Additional trenching and sampling is planned for this project.
We are searching for mineralized material. Mineralized material is a mineral body, which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. Before mineral retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We can’t predict what that will be until we find mineralized material. As of the date of this report, no mineralized material has been discovered and there is no assurance we will ever discover any mineralized material. As such, none of our properties contain a defined ore body.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that whatever is located under an adjoining property may or may not be located under our property.

We have exploration licenses. We do not have a license to mine any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any part of our properties. Once exploration has advanced to a point where mining on one or more of our properties is feasible, we plan to apply for one or more mining licenses.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the properties if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves and through the use of contracted consultants. We have no plans to interest other companies in the properties if we do not find mineralized material.
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we don’t have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we can’t or don’t raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don’t know what we will do and we don’t have any plans for future activities.
All of the work on our properties is conducted by contractors that we have hired through exploration service contracts. The contractors are responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and evaluation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases for services and economic conditions.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is for disclosure only and will not impact our financial condition or results of operations. We are currently evaluating the impact to our financial reporting process of providing Codification references in our public filings.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 will become effective for our fiscal year beginning November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. This statement requires additional disclosures concerning a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 166 will have on our financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This Statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for
that date. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and as such, we adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company's adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the interim or annual consolidated financial statements or the disclosures in those financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect this statement to change any of the existing accounting principles.
In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 133), which expands the disclosure requirements in FAS 133 about an entities derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of the date of the report, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of No. ARB 51”, which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling ownership interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company does not have any subsidiaries at the report date.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company currently does not provide consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items 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. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.
