NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
NOTE 1 – | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (formerly known as Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc.) was incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements the term “Company” refers to the consolidated combined financial information of Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc. (“Kilimanjaro”) and its previously reporting subsidiary Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (“Lake Victoria”). The Company is also referred to as “we”, “us” and “our”. The Company’s administrative office is located in Golden, Colorado.
On December 5, 2009, the Company passed a resolution to change the fiscal year-end from December 31 to March 31. The financial statements presented are for the nine-month period from April 1 to December 31, 2009 and the comparative period in 2008.
On July 8, 2009, Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc. and Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “acquisition”) under which Lake Victoria acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kilimanjaro. Prior to the acquisition, Lake Victoria was a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a consolidated subsidiary of Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria had been under common control since each of the entities’ inception. The acquisition was completed on August 7, 2009 and the stockholders of Kilimanjaro received approximately 67% of the Company’s issued capital shares. The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition restructuring” and recapitalization of Kilimanjaro. As the result of this transfer, the former stockholders of Kilimanjaro owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, and Kilimanjaro was treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Since Lake Victoria was a consolidated subsidiary of Kilimanjaro, all of the historical accounting information previously reported by the registrant is incorporated in the historical financial information of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the two entities consolidation reflects all of the historical financial information without any modification for recognition of fair value adjustments based upon a business combination. The equity of Kilimanjaro for accounting purposes was restated in the legal framework of its previously controlled subsidiary Lake Victoria. The continuing legal entity is Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. and all equity information has been restated under its share structure and the continuing accounting of the c onsolidated results of operations are based upon Kilimanjaro’s consolidation of financial information from inception.
The principal business of the Company both as previously reported and as restructured through the share exchange 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.

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS KILIMANJARO MINING COMPANY, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
In November 2009, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Tanzania, Lake Victoria Resources (T), Ltd. (“LV Resources”), to perform mining exploration activities.
The foregoing unaudited interim consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prior audited financial statements filed with the Form 10-Q/T. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal r ecurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the nine month period ended December 31, 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 the Company is 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.
F-7
LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS KILIMANJARO MINING COMPANY, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
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.
Accounting Standards Codification
The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The ASC only changes the referencing of financial accounting standards and does not change or alter existing GAAP.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Since 2007, the Company did not own 100% of its subsidiary and accordingly, reported non-controlling interest at each of the appropriate reporting periods.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805), and ASC Topic 810-10-65, related to non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 as a result of adopting either statement. The non-controlling interest was previously the minority interest held by certain passive shareholders at the consolidated financial statement level of Kilimanjaro, and whose interests were eliminated for accounting purposes by the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. The Company, after August 7, 2009, had no further non-controlling interests.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, losses of $1,927,226 and $2,722,551 respectively, were recognized as being attributed to the non-controlling interest of the Company’s controlled subsidiary.
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 cash equivalents. As of December 31 and March 31, 2009, the Company has $381,926 and $530,569, respectively, deposited at an FDIC insured banks in the United States and $16,245 deposited at an insured bank in Tanzania. FDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor’s account for $250,000 per insured bank. The Deposit Insurance Board in Tanzania insures up to 1,500,000 Tanzanian Schillings (approximately, $1,103USD as of December 31, 2009) per customer per bank. Any amount beyond the basic insurance amount may expose the Company to loss.
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted ASC 260, 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
F-8
LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS KILIMANJARO MINING COMPANY, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
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 December 31, 2009, the Company has 7,013,501 stock warrants outstanding. (SEE NOTE 10)
Exploration Stage
The Company and its subsidiaries have been in an exploration stage since its formation and has not realized any revenues from operations. They are primarily engaged in searching for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. As of December 31, 2009, none of the Company’s mineral property interest had proven or probable reserves as determined under the requirements of SEC Industry Guide No. 7.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. A portion of business transactions in Tanzania and mineral option purchase agreements are denominated in the Tanzanian Shilling. Transaction gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recognized as incurred in the accompanying statements of operations.
Foreign Operations
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets contain certain recorded Company assets approximately in the amount of $116,000 in a foreign country (Tanzania). Although Tanzania is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,506,069 incurred through December 31, 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 to 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 meet its necessary cash outflows based upon funds received from future investments and borrowings during its exploration period.

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS KILIMANJARO MINING COMPANY, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In April 2009, the Company adopted provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. This statement specifically requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under US GAAP, and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption impacts the Company’s disclosures, but it will not affect its results of operations or financial condition.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. 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 ASC Topic 740 to allow recognition of such an asset. (SEE NOTE 11)
Mineral Properties
Under US GAAP mineral property acquisition costs are ordinarily capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The carrying costs should be assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable.
Since the Company is unable to support continued capitalization of acquisition costs the Company has chosen to expense versus capitalize its property acquisition costs until the Company identifies proven and probable reserves.
When the Company has capitalized mineral property costs, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value. Once a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method. Additionally the Company expenses as incurred all maintenance and
exploration property costs.
Property and Equipment
Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis. The Company’s assets with a historical cost of $107,605 are being depreciated over lives of five years. (SEE NOTE 4)

Subsequent Events
In June 2009, the Company adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events. ASC 855 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. ASC 855 is effective for interim financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. (SEE NOTE 12).
NOTE 3 – | BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS |
On August 7, 2009, Lake Victoria completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of Kilimanjaro, Lake Victoria’s consolidating parent and therefore, effective as of August 7, 2009, Lake Victoria owns 100% of Kilimanjaro’s equity.
On July 8, 2009, Lake Victoria, a consolidated subsidiary of Kilimanjaro entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Kilimanjaro in exchange for 37,653,549 restricted shares of Lake Victoria’s common stock, the cancellation of 9,350,300 outstanding restricted shares of Lake Victoria held directly by Kilimanjaro and debt forgiveness of property acquisition payments consisting of 6,500,000 shares of Lake Victoria which were to be issued and $350,000 of cash payments. Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria had been under common control since each of the entities’ inception. Effective August 7, 2009, the acquisition of Kilimanjaro was completed. As a result of the completion of this acquisition and the other related transactions, the former shareholders of Kilimanjaro owned approx imately 67% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Lake Victoria representing 37,653,549 of the then 55,851,549 total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The acquisition of Kilimanjaro was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition restructuring” and recapitalization. As the result of this transfer, the former stockholders of Kilimanjaro owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, and Kilimanjaro was treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Since Lake Victoria was a consolidated subsidiary of Kilimanjaro all of the historical accounting information previously reported by the registrant is now incorporated in the historical financial information of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the two entities consolidation reflects all of the historical financial information without any modification for recognition of fair value adjustments based upon a business combination. 160;The equity of Kilimanjaro for accounting purposes was restated in the legal framework of it previously controlled subsidiary Lake Victoria. The continuing legal entity is Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. and all equity information has been restated as such with the continuing accounting of the consolidated results of operations based upon Kilimanjaro’s consolidations of financial information from inception.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
Since the stockholders of Kilimanjaro own a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, the acquisition of Kilimanjaro was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition restructuring” and recapitalization. Under reverse acquisition accounting, Kilimanjaro (the legal subsidiary) has been treated as the accounting parent (acquirer) and Lake Victoria (the legal parent) has been treated as the accounting subsidiary (acquiree). As part of the share exchange, the 18,198,000 net shares remaining of Lake Victoria which were disclosed as a non-controlling interest in the financial disclosures of Kilimanjaro are the shares recognized on the restated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity as the net share increase from the restructuring of the Company’s equity and the elimination of the non-contr olling interest.

NOTE 7 – | RELATED PARTIES/CONCENTRATIONS |
The Company has contracted with Geo Can Resources Company Ltd (Geo Can), a related company with a shared common director, to perform exploration services on all of the properties. All exploration and payment commitments as per agreements between Geo Can and the Company for the Geita, Kinyambwiga and Kalemela projects were cancelled as part of the agreement between Geo Can and Kilimanjaro prior to the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. Both companies have mutually agreed that the exploration agreements were terminated in November 2009 when the Company incorporated its own exploration subsidiary LV Resources. The Company has recorded liabilities totaling $844,523 owing to Geo Can as of December 31, 2009.
The Company, through its subsidiary Kilimanjaro, advanced funds to Geo Can to find mineral property interests in Tanzania. As of December 31, 2009, the Company recorded total advances of $499,043 to Geo Can. The advances bear no interest and unencumbered funds are refundable to the Company. The advances as of December 31, 2009 have not been offset against payables nor had any encumbrances been reported to the Company.
On May 15, 2009, Kilimanjaro signed a Mineral Financing Agreement with one director of the Company authorizing him, on behalf of the Company, to acquire Primary Mining Licenses (“PMLs”) in the Singida area. As of December 31, 2009, this director has entered into Mineral Properties Sales and Purchase agreements with various PML owners. 22 PML agreements have been completed with the Company acquiring a 100% option, and the Company has the option to acquire 37 additional and different PML’s in the area. Under the terms of these agreements, if the option to purchase is completed on all these PMLs, then the total purchase consideration will be $7,029,404.
The same director of the Company entered into Mineral Purchase agreements with 24 PML’s which are part of the Kinyambwiga Project and which are recorded in his name and are to be transferred over to the Company at a future date.
NOTE 8 – | MINERAL PROPERTY AND EXPLORATION COSTS |
On May 4, 2009, Kilimanjaro completed a Property Acquisition Agreement with Geo Can Resources Company Limited (“Geo Can”). Under the terms of the agreement Kilimanjaro acquired 100% interests of the mineral property assets which included 33 gold prospecting licenses and 13 uranium licenses. Geo Can had entered into property agreements regarding some of these resource properties with Lake Victoria before the share purchase agreement and now Geo Can no longer has any interest in those prior property agreements.
All of the Company’s mineral property interests are located in Tanzania. Geo Can holds resource properties in trust for the Company. Most of the resource property interests are still formally registered to Geo Can to save on registration fees until the annual filing for each property comes due at which time the formal registration of each property will be transferred to Kilimanjaro or as directed by Kilimanjaro.

Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our tax provisions. Ultimately, the actual tax benefits to be realized will be based upon future taxable earnings levels, which cannot be predicted at this time. Furthermore, the availability of net operating losses would be limited by the future action of the Company and its investors. Some of the net operating losses are only available at the individual subsidiary level and not available for the consolidated tax reporting of the consolidated entities, since ownership levels did not meet the consolidated rules for Federal tax purposes.

On February 22, 2010, the Company filed an unaudited financial report on Form10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 (the “Original Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”). On January 29, 2010, the Company received comments from the SEC regarding our Original Report. Lake Victoria Mining Company has reviewed the share exchange agreement between Lake Victoria and Kilimanjaro Mining Company, and with the changed Kilimanjaro Mining year end, has revised their accounting principles used for the share exchange and this has altered the Company's financials as revised in this and subsequent filing.
The accompanying financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 have been restated to reflect the corrections in accordance with ASC 250, “Accounting Change and Error Corrections”.
The Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc.’s (“Kilimanjaro”) statement of operations for the three months and nine ended December 31, 2008, and statements of cash flows ended for nine months ended December 31, 2008 have been restated to consolidate the accounts of Lake Victoria. Kilimanjaro initially classified their ownership in Lake Victoria as temporary investment. The securities were classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. The investment was revalued at each reporting period to fair value and the gain/loss on investment was recorded as other comprehensive income. The management of Kilimanjaro reevaluated that Kilimanjaro’s control position during the transition period and determined Kilimanjaro and its control group retained permanent control of Kilimanjaro and its subsidiary throughout the pe riods presented. Although Kilimanjaro’s investment was temporarily diluted, the investors were passive investors and management and the directors retained control of Kilimanjaro through the subsequent acquisition.
On August 7, 2009, Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria completed a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “acquisition”) under which Lake Victoria acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kilimanjaro. The stockholders of Kilimanjaro received shares representing approximately 67% of Lake Victoria’s issued capital shares. Since the stockholders of Kilimanjaro owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Lake Victoria, the acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition restructuring” and recapitalization, , whereby Kilimanjaro is the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes which includes the complete financial information on its controlled subsidiary, Lake Victoria. Additionally, Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria were under common control since each o f the entities’ inception. Accordingly, the two entities were consolidated for all periods since inception.

(a) | The accrued acquisition cost has been restated as $61,482. The previously filed consolidated balance sheet accrued acquisition cost of $7,119,197, of which current liability was $2,169,197 and non-current liability was $4,950,000. The Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of the mineral purchase agreements signed by a director of the Company. Since the agreements have optional purchase agreements and the Company has the right to terminate the agreement at any time at the Company’s option, the previous accrued optional payments have been adjusted which reduces the liabilities on balance sheet and the acquisition costs on the statement of operations by $7,057,715. |
The previously filed consolidated income statement recorded non-cash goodwill impairment losses of $15,675,035 in August 2009 in connection with the acquisition of Kilimanjaro. During the reporting time period, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $15,675,035 related to all the goodwill recorded. The restated financial statement reflects that Kilimanjaro controlled the Company from its inception and accordingly no goodwill or impairment losses are recorded for the acquisition. The net effect of the previously recorded transaction resulted in and overstatement of additional paid in capital of $14,695,050. The Company had advances to a related party off set to accounts payable of $499,043 with the same related party but in different corporate entities.

LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS KILIMANJARO MINING COMPANY, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
(c) | The restated consolidated statements of operations include operating results of the consolidated entity. Previously, the consolidated statement of operations reflected the financial statements of Kilimanjaro since its inception and the operations of Lake Victoria subsequent to August 7, 2009. Total operating expense increased by $366,110 which included accrued acquisition cost of $314,639 for the three month period ended December 31, 2009; and increased by $3,067,951 for the three months period ended December 31, 2008. The total operating expense for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 decreased by $5,113,911 and increased by $3,400,153, respectively. |
(d) | Prior to the acquisition, the interest of Lake Victoria held by Kilimanjaro was less than 100%. Net loss has been allocated between the non-controlling interest and the Company. For the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $Nil and $2,548,979, respectively. The total loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 increased by $1,927,226 and $2,722,551, respectively. |
(e) | The issue of control between the companies was reevaluated and it was determined that Kilimanjaro’s loss of a direct ownership position prior to the acquisition due to dilution from passive investors was temporary. Kilimanjaro was deemed to have retained control of Lake Victoria since its inception and accordingly Kilimanjaro consolidated its accounts prior to the acquisition. Minority ownership interest has been recorded for each accounting reporting period. The securities of Lake Victoria held by Kilimanjaro were previously classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. The investment was revalued at each reporting period to fair value, and consequently the gain/loss on investment was recorded as other comprehensive income, $(4,447,605) and $1,350,000 for three month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As conso lidation of the entities was deemed to be the appropriate accounting treatment, the prior accounting treatment recording the unrealized holding gains and losses on investment and other comprehensive income was deemed to be inappropriate and has been restated. The total change attributable to the net loss for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $1,649,970; and the net income at December 31,2008 decreased by $1,350,000. |
(f) | These restatements had the impact on the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of decreasing it by $19,756,530 ($0.28 per share) and decreasing the net income for the three months ended December 31, 2008 by $1,872,046 ($0.01 per share.) The net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 decreased $24,366,491 ($.0.38 per share) and the net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 decreased $2,024,830 ($0.01 per share.) |

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.
Restatement
On February 22, 2009, the Company filed an unaudited financial report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 (the “Original Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”). On January 29, 2010, the Company received comments from the SEC regarding our Original Report. Lake Victoria Mining Company has reviewed the share exchange agreement between Lake Victoria and Kilimanjaro Mining Company, and with the changed Kilimanjaro Mining year end, has revised their accounting principles used for the share exchange and this has altered the Company's financials as revised in this and subsequent filing.
Kilimanjaro Mining Company Inc (“Kilimanjaro”) initially classified their ownership in Lake Victoria as a temporary investment. The securities were classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. The investment was revalued at each reporting period to fair value and the gain/loss on investment was recorded as other comprehensive income. The management of Kilimanjaro re-evaluated that Kilimanjaro’s control position during the transition period and determined Kilimanjaro and its control group retained permanent control of Kilimanjaro and its subsidiary throughout the periods presented. Although Kilimanjaro’s investment was temporarily diluted, the investors were passive investors and management and the directors retained control of Kilimanjaro through the subsequent acquisition.
On August 7, 2009, Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria completed the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Acquisition”) under which Lake Victoria acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kilimanjaro. The stockholders of Kilimanjaro received shares representing approximately 67% of Lake Victoria’s issued capital shares. Since the stockholders of Kilimanjaro own a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Lake Victoria, the Acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition restructuring” and recapitalization, whereby Kilimanjaro is the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes which includes the complete financial information on its controlled subsidiary which was Lake Victoria. Additionally, Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria were under common control since each of the entities’ inception. Accordingly, the two entities were consolidated for all periods since its inception.
Results of Operations/Plan of Operation
For the nine months ending December 31, 2009 compared to nine months ending December 31, 2008:
For the nine months ending December 31, 2009, we recorded a net loss before attribution of the non-controlling interest of $7,118,290. After attribution of the non-controlling interest of $1,927,226, the loss attributed to the Company was $5,191,064, or $0.11 per share compared to a net loss for the corresponding period of 2008 of $819,619 or $0.03 per share. All discussions of expenses reflect no attribution to the non-controlling interest.
General and administrative expense for the nine months ending December 31, 2009 increased by $1,227,466 to $1,354,216 compared to $126,750 for the same period in 2008.
Property acquisition costs during the 2009 nine month period increased by $562,048 to $3,430,102 compared to $2,868,054 in 2008 which resulted from property acquisition option payments made in 2009.
Exploration costs during the 2009 nine month period increased by $259,761 to $685,509 as compared to $425,748 for the same period of 2008, reflected by an increase in exploration activities in the Singida Projects.
Consulting fees for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 increased to $1,486,449 compared to $101,351 for the same period of 2008.
Management and director fees in the 2009 period increased to $51,767 compared to $15,000 in 2008.
On December 31, 2009, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 2,701,001 units at $0.60 per share for cash of $1,574,704, net of cost of $45,900. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant. Two redeemable warrants and payment of $1.25 entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock. The exercise period of the redeemable warrants is thirty-six months from September 9, 2009.
On November 9, 2009, we incorporated Lake Victoria Resources (T) Limited, in Tanzania, as a wholly owned subsidiary corporation to conduct exploration and mining activities on all of our mineral properties.
On July 8, 2009, Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc. and Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “acquisition”) under which Lake Victoria acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kilimanjaro. Prior to the acquisition, Lake Victoria was a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a consolidated subsidiary of Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria had been under common control since each of the entities’ inception. The acquisition was completed on August 7, 2009 and the stockholders of Kilimanjaro received approximately 67% of the Company’s issued capital shares. The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition restructuring” and recapitalization of Kilimanjaro. As the result of t his transfer, the former stockholders of Kilimanjaro owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, and Kilimanjaro was treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Since Lake Victoria was a consolidated subsidiary of Kilimanjaro, all of the historical accounting information previously reported by the registrant is incorporated in the historical financial information of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the two entities consolidation reflects all of the historical financial information without any modification for recognition of fair value adjustments based upon a business combination. The equity of Kilimanjaro for accounting purposes was restated in the legal framework of its previously controlled subsidiary Lake Victoria. The continuing legal entity is Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. and all equity information has been restated under its share structure and the continuing accounting of the con solidated results of operations are based upon Kilimanjaro’s consolidation of financial information from inception.
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 contracted consultants and professional staff whether 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 exploration of our properties. 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, but there is no assurance that we will be successful. If we need additional money and can’t raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations until we succeed in raising additional money.
We must continue to conduct exploration to determine what amount of gold and other minerals, if any, exist in our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed. We contracted with Geo Can Resources Company Limited (“Geo Can”), which is a contract services exploration company in Tanzania, East Africa, to perform exploration services on all our properties. All exploration and payment commitments as per agreements between Geo Can and the Company for the Geita, Kinyambwiga and Kalemela projects were cancelled as part of the agreement between Geo Can and Kilimanjaro prior to the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. Both companies have mutually agreed that the exploration agreements were terminated in November 2009 when the C ompany incorporates its own exploration subsidiary, Lake Victoria Resources (T) in Tanzania.
PROJECTS
On May 4, 2009, Kilimanjaro completed a Property Acquisition Agreement with Geo Can Resources Company Limited (“Geo Can”). Under the terms of the agreement Kilimanjaro acquired a 100% interest of the mineral property assets of Geo Can which included 33 gold prospecting licenses and 13 uranium licenses. Geo Can had entered into property agreements regarding some of these resource properties with Lake Victoria before the share purchase agreement and now Geo Can no longer has any interest in those prior property agreements.
The May 4, 2009 Property Acquisition dramatically increased our prospecting property portfolio in Tanzania overnight. All of the Company’s mineral property interests are located in Tanzania. Geo Can holds resource properties in trust for Kilimanjaro. Most of the resource property interests are still formally registered to Geo Can to save on registration fees until the annual filing for each property comes due at which time the formal registration of each property will be transferred to Kilimanjaro or as directed by Kilimanjaro.
Kalemela Gold Project
Kalemela project is comprised of PL2747/2004, PL2910/2004, PL3006/2005, PL2892/2009, PL5912/2009 and PL5988/2009 totaling approximately 253.80 sq. km. The first event that occurred, on April 1, 2007, 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. Kalemela Gold Project license number: PL2747/2004 is located within the Southeastern Lake Victoria Goldfields in Northern Tanzania in Magu District, Mwanza Region and is approximately 125 kilometers northeast of Mwanza. This was followed by a physical examination of the property by Dr. Roger A. Newell, a geologist, our president and director. The license is recorded in Geo Can’s name. Following the initial examination, we entered an Exploration Services Agreement with Geo Can to conduct geologic mapping, soil and rock sampling and ground magnetic surveys.
Subsequently, on November 18, 2008 we acquired two adjacent and contiguous licenses PL3006/2005 and PL2910/2004. We expanded our mineral exploration budget with Geo Can to complete a similar initial exploration program that was conducted on PL2747/2004. We have completed the initial exploration of PL3006/2005 and PL2910/2004. The three licenses totaled about 260 square kilometers. Results of geologic mapping, ground magnetic surveying and soil and rock sampling have identified exploration sites suitable for electrical induced polarization (I.P.) geophysical surveys to further define possible drill targets. Depending on available resources and project scheduling, follow up soil sampling will be conducted to confirm previous sampling results, followed by a targeted electrically ind uced polariztion (I.P.) geophysical survey and a possible initial drill program. No additional work was conducted on the Kalemela project during this reporting period.
State Mining Project
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 were prepared with th e intent for the program to be conducted during the last two quarters of 2009.
On August 10, 2009, the Company decided to release the above three licenses and transferred them back to State Mining Company on August 11 and September 15, 2009. The Company has abandoned its interests in this project and will not be involved any further exploration activities.
Geita Gold Project
On January 27, 2009, we executed a definitive Option Agreement (the “Option”) with Geo Can to earn a 50% interest in Geo Can’s Geita Gold Project, Prospecting License Number PL2806. Under the terms of the Option, we acquired a 50% interest in the “Property” totaling 43.77 sq km. The “Option” also provides for the Company to acquire, through “Remaining Interest Options,” up to a 75% interest in the gold project. The Geita Gold Project (License number: PL2806/2004) is located in Northern Tanzania within the Lake Victoria goldfields in the Geita District, Mwanza Region. This license is approximately 300 meters south of AngloGold-Ashanti’s world-class Nyankanga gold deposit, about 6 kilometers west of the town of Geita and about 78 kil ometers west of Mwanza. The original prospecting license PL2806 has been divided and the project is now comprised of two licenses: PL2806/2004 – 21.59 sq.km. and PL5958/2009 – 20.85 sq.km. which totals about 42.44 sq.km.
During 2008 Geo Can completed detailed ground magnetic surveys, and both reconnaissance and detailed electrical prospecting (induced polarization, I.P.) surveys. Following this work, we commenced drilling on the Geita Project in January, 2009 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 per metric ton from 50 meters to 52 meters in drill hole GR-15. The geophysical and geological information continues to be reviewed to determine if additional exploration targets exist that justify additional work. No additional work was conducted on the project during this reporting period.
Kinyambwiga Gold Project
The Kinyambwiga Gold Project is about 208 kilometers northeast of the city of Mwanza in northern Tanzania. 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. Previous exploration work completed included: geological and regolith mapping, ground magnetics at 200m grid, geochemical soil sampling at 200X50 grid, trenching, pitting and 6000 meters of RAB and 1300 meters of RC drilling. A detailed ground magnetic survey at 50m grid spacing was completed on a portion of the prospecting license, and on June 4th, 2009 we began to excavate exploration trenches to further expose previously identified quartz veins. Over 50 trenches have been excavated and rock samples from the trenches have been submitted to an assay laboratory. Detailed ground magnetic surveying suggested that the previously identified quartz veins have a strike length of at least one kilometer. A detailed trenching program further defined the quartz veins, and 134 samples collected from 22 trenches averaged 2.28 grams per metric ton. An additional 24 bulk samples were selected for leach assaying these samples returned and average of 3.48 grams per metric ton. Routine fire assays for these same 24 bulk samples averaged 3.56 grams per metric ton. Previous excavations and shallow reconnaissance drilling suggests that multiple veins are present and may extend over a 2 kilometer distance. Additional RC and core drilling may be planned to confirm these assay results at depth below selected trenches and artisanal mine workings.
Singida Gold Project
Company personnel first visited the Singida project area during March, 2009 and became aware of the high level of artisanal (small scale) gold mining that was being conducted along an estimated five (5) kilometer mineralized zone. Subsequently, on May 15, 2009, the Company signed a Mineral Financing Agreement with one director of the Company authorizing him, on behalf of the Company, to acquire Primary Mining Licenses (“PMLs”) in the Singida area. As of June 30, 2009, this director has entered into several different Mineral Properties Sales and Purchase agreements with multiple PML owners that hold title to the licenses along the mineralized zone at the Singida project area. Under the terms of all the agreements, if we complete all sixty (60) of the various agreements, that combined form the Singida project area, then our tot al purchase consideration will be $7,029,404 by February, 2013.
At the option of the Company, a secondary payment of $2,127,057 is to be paid within 120 days, which may be extended to 240 days in certain circumstances and a final payment of $4,902,348 is to be paid within 730 days. Also, at the option of the Company, a 2% Net Smelter Production royalty or 2% of the Net Sale Value may be substituted in place of the final payment and paid on a pro rata basis determined by the total final number of PMLs involved in a special mining license.
Table 2 and 3 reflect the acquisition and exploration costs for Singida project.
The Singida Gold Project lies about 600 kilometers south of the city of Mwanza. The Singida project is the location of active artisanal mining and we have conducted detailed underground sampling, sampling of artisanal mine waste dumps and processed tailing piles. More than 8,200 samples have been collected and assayed. From 36 mine shafts and connected workings, over a strike length of about 5km, 176 samples averaged 7.1 grams per metric ton; assays for 1,138 samples from artisanal mine dumps located at surface and containing about 20,000 tons average about 2.14 g/t; the amount of gold present in the dumps is about 1,370 ounces. An additional number of dumps are present that contain an estimated 70,000 tons. Assay results from 2,478 tailing samples were also received; an initial 75 processed ta iling piles contain about 20,000 tons with an average grade of 3.05 g/t. An additional 22 processed tailing piles contain about 6,000 tons with an average of 6.78 g/t gold. The estimated contained gold is about 1,900 ounces and 1,300 ounces respectively. Together there are about 26,000 tons of tailings containing about 3,200 ounces of gold. A detailed ground magnetic survey, at 25 meter grid spacing, was conducted over the mineralized area which appears to extend in a northwest – southeast direction for a distance of 5 kilometers or more. The mineralized zone consists of quartz veins varying from about 0.3 to 2 meters thick in greenstone rocks, and the sampled artisanal mine shafts averaged about 50 meters deep. Additional work is planned at Singida which may involve I.P. surveying and drilling below the artisanal workings to confirm mineralization at depth below the current workings.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
We are searching for mineralized material. Mineralized material is a mineral body, which has been delineated by appropriate 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.
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 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 a mining license or licenses.
We may interest other companies in our properties if we find mineralized materials. Depending on the discovery, we may try to develop the reserves ourselves and through the use of contracted consultants. Our portfolio of projects is very large and we may interest other companies in properties to participate in the exploration of them, through option or joint venture agreements to 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, you will lose your investment.
All of the work on our properties is conducted by contractors that the Company has 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 15, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of 7,973,000 units to at $0.20 per share for total consideration of $1,594,600. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant. One redeemable warrant and payment of $1.25 entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock. The exercise period of the redeemable warrants is thirty-six months from January 28, 2010.
On December 31, 2009, the Company sold 2,701,001 units for total consideration of $1,574,704, net of cost of $45,900. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant. Two redeemable warrants and payment of $1.25 entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock. The exercise period of the redeemable warrants is thirty-six months from September 9, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has 7,013,501 stock warrants outstanding.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, "Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value," which amends ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." ASU 2009-05 provides clarification and guidance regarding how to value a liability when a quoted price in an active market is not available for that liability. The Company will adopt the provisions of this update for fair value measurements of liabilities effective October 1, 2009, and adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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. The Acco unting Standards Codification (ASC) has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The ASC only changes the referencing of financial accounting standards and does not change or alter existing GAAP.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10 (formerly SFAS 167), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. ASC 810-10 amends ASC 810-10 (formerly FIN 46(R)), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” and changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obli gation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, ASC 810-10 required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. QSPEs, which were previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this standard when it becomes effective. ASC 810-10 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. ASC 810-10 will be effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860-10 (formerly SFAS 166), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. ASC 860-10 amends ASC 860-10 (formerly SFAS 140), “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” by: eliminating the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”); clarifying and amending the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale accounting; and requiring that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained (for example beneficial interests) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or grou p of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date, existing QSPEs (as defined under previous accounting standards) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. ASC 860-10 requires enhanced disclosures about, among other things, a transferor’s continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales, the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been retained, and the nature and financial effect of restrictions on the transferor’s assets that continue to be reported in the statement of financial position. ASC 860-10 will be effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption will have on the Company’s disclosures, operating results, financial position and cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued and the Company adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events. ASC 855 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. ASC 855 is effective for interim financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65-4 (formerly FSP SFAS 157-4), “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly". ASC 820-10-65-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the market activity for an asset or liability has declined significantly. ASC 820-10-65-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65-4 on September 30, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued and the Company adopted provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. This statement specifically requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under US GAAP, and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption impacts the Company’ s disclosures, but it will not affect its results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective, in that we have failed to file a Form 8-K in a timely manner during the quarter ended December 31, 2009. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company has not begun remediation efforts to correct the previously disclosed material weakness reported on the Company’s Form 10-K filed for the period ended March 31, 2009.
