GENERAL MATTERS
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are applicable to "penny stocks". For the purposes relevant to us, a “penny stock” is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or has an exercise or conversion price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, constitutes a "penny stock". For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
· that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks;
· the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased; and
· that a broker or dealer provide certain detailed market information about the market for the applicable company’s securities.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions involving penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
· obtain financial information, investment experience and investment objectives of the person; and
· make a reasonable determination that the proposed transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
· sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
· that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Following a transaction, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and depress the market value of our stock.
There are additional risks of investing in penny stocks whether in public offerings or in secondary trading, relating to commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
June 30, 2010 |
(Unaudited) |
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Joshua Gold Resources Inc. (until June 4, 2010 known as ABC Acquisition Corp. 1501, collectively referred to herein as “Joshua Gold Resources Inc.”, “BCSI”, or the “Company”), have has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 6, 2010, as well as the unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2010 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2009 as reported in the form 10-K have been omitted.
All $ references herein refer to Canadian dollars (“C$”) unless otherwise specified. See also note 3.
Planned principal activities have begun, but Joshua Gold Resources Inc. has not generated any revenues to June 30. 2010. The Company had a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $97,632 and had an accumulated deficit of $115,277 at June 30, 2010. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of Joshua Gold Resources Inc.’s existence depends upon its ability to obtain additional capital. Management’s plans in regards to this matter including raising additional equity financing in 2010 and borrowing funds under a private credit facility and/or other credit sources. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Effective June 4, 2010 the Company’s functional currency changed from the US dollar to the Canadian dollar. The Company went through a change in control effective June 4, 2010 and the shares of the Company then outstanding were acquired by a group based in Ontario, Canada. At June 4, 2010 and subsequent to that date, the Company has raised equity and conducted the majority of its business in Canadian dollars (“C$”). As a result, the Company has changed both its functional currency and its reporting currency from the US$ to the C$ effective June 4, 2010. Historical amounts have been restated into C$ using the average US$/C$ exchange rate for Income statement items and using the balance sheet date exchange rates for Balance Sheet items.
Concurrent with the change in functional currency, effective June 4, 2010, the Company changed its reporting currency from the United States (“US$”) to the Canadian dollar (“C$”) dollar. Prior to June 4, 2010, the Company reported in US$. In accordance with EIC-130, “Translation Method When the Reporting Currency Differs from the Measurement Currency or there is a Change in the Reporting Currency” the financial statements for all periods presented have been translated into the new reporting currency using the current rate method. Under this method, the statements of operations and cash flows for each quarter have been translated into the reporting currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period (2010 – 1.0334; 2009 – 1.0729) and all assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates (June 30, 2010 – 1.0606; December 31, 2009 – 1.0510).
8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
At June 30, 2010, there were no uncertain tax positions that require accrual.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
As of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, basic and diluted loss per share was the same as there were no outstanding instruments having a dilutive effect.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Foreign Currency Translation
The majority of the Company’s business is transacted in Canadian dollars (“C$”) and accordingly, the financial statements have been expressed in that currency (see note 3). The Company uses the temporal method to translate its operating results. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the C$ are translated into C$’s at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in earnings.

On June 4, 2010, ABC Acquisition Corp. 1501 (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) entered into a license agreement (the “Cormier License”) with R&B Cormier Enterprises Inc. (“Cormier Enterprises”), an Ontario corporation, pursuant to which Cormier Enterprises granted us an exclusive, non-transferable and irrevocable right to develop and commercialize certain intellectual property that we will use in conducting airborne and other surveys of forested lands in areas that are difficult to access. Those surveys would be conducted in a statistically verifiable process that is designed to be employed for use in carbon trading programs to assess the value (and potential value) of the surveyed lands as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs. Pursuant to the Cormier License, we are required to pay a royalty of 2.5% on any revenue earned by the Company from the use of the Cormier License. In addition, under the agreement we have pre-paid the royalty on the first $225,000 of revenue to be earned under the Cormier License by issuing 18,750,000 of the Company’s common shares to Cormier Enterprises at a value of $0.0003/share.
On June 4, 2010, we also entered into a license agreement (the “GSN License”) with GSN Dreamworks, Inc. (“GSN”), an Ontario corporation, pursuant to which GSN granted the Company an exclusive, non-transferable and irrevocable right to develop and commercialize certain intellectual property that we will use in quantifying the value of forested lands and other parcels of property within the context of carbon trading programs, wherein such lands are expected to have value (that is currently unrealized) as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon credit, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs. Pursuant to the GSN License, we are required to pay a royalty of 2.5% on any revenue earned by the Company from the use of the GSN License. In addition, under the GSN License we have pre-paid the royalty on the first $225,000 of revenue to be earned under the GSN License by issuing 18,750,000 of our common shares to GSN at a value of $0.0003/share.
To facilitate the use of the Cormier License and GSN License, the Company entered into consulting agreements with Luc C. Duchesne and Robert G. Cormier (the “Consulting Agreements”), pursuant to which Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier will provide the Company with management and advisory services with respect to the intellectual property licensed to the Company under those licenses. Further to those agreements, Luc Duchesne has been appointed the Chief Executive Officer, President and Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Mr. Cormier has been appointed the Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of the Company. As consideration for agreeing to make their services available, we agreed to make a one-time payment of $9,125 to each of them, payable as to $3,500 in cash as to the remaining $5,925 in the form of 19,750,000 common shares valued at $0.0003 per share (for a total payment of $11,300 paid through the issuance of 39,500,000 common shares). In addition to these payments, we agreed that we would pay additional remuneration to these individuals for their on-going services, likely in the form of a monthly cash payment that would be established and would commence after the Company has commenced more regular business operations.
These Consulting Agreements have a term of 3 years. However, we may elect to terminate the agreements at any time upon notice. In addition, under these agreements Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier agreed that any intellectual property arising from or included to in any modifications or improvements to the licensed technology and intellectual property, or to any other rights owned, licensed or used by the Company, will be owned by us, and they assigned to the Company any interest they may have therein.
Cormier Enterprises is wholly owned by Mr. Cormier and his spouse. GSN is wholly owned by Mr. Duchesne. Currently Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier also serve as the directors of the Company.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid a total of $8,352 to GSN Dreamworks Inc., a company controlled by the Company’s CEO as reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of Joshua Gold Resources Inc. No salaries were paid or accrued to any of the executives.
The authorized capital stock of our Company consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which there are 264,500,000 issued and outstanding as at June 30, 2010, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 240,000 shares have been designated and issued as Class A Preferred Shares (non-convertible by their terms) as at June 30, 2010.

The Class A Preferred Shares were issued for C$1.00 per share, are non-participating and non-voting and accrue cumulative interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Company may retract the shares at any time upon the payment of C$1.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid interest. In the event of any wind-up of the Company, the Class A Preferred Shares have a priority distribution equivalent to C$1.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid interest before any distribution to the common shareholders.

On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into two license agreements with related parties (the “Licensors”) to acquire exclusive, non-transferable and irrevocable rights to develop and commercialize certain intellectual property that is to be used in conducting airborne and other surveys of forested lands and quantifying the value of forested lands and other parcels of property within the context of carbon trading programs. The licenses require the Company to pay a royalty of 2.5% to each of the two license holders on sales resulting from the use of the technologies (the “Royalties”). The Company paid $240,000 to certain advisors in the form of 240,000 Class A Preferred Shares (non-convertible) of the Company at an issue price of $1.00 per share (see note 6b). The Company also made a prepayment of $11,250 of the Royalties to the Licensors in the form of 37,500,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.0003 per share.
The Company has deemed the value of the License to be $240,000 and that amount has been capitalized on the balance sheet as a long-term asset. The Company is amortizing this amount on a straight line basis over the first five year term of the Licenses. |

Effective July 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Master Supply Agreement with Trans Canada Energy Ltd (“TCE”) to provide carbon analysis and management services on an as-needed basis. The term of the agreement expires on April 2013. The Company received an advance payment of $27,000 in July related to this contract.
Also during July 2010, the Company closed a private placement for 550,000 common shares at a subscription price of $0.10 per share for total cash proceeds of $55,000. These funds are shown on the balance sheet as “Restricted cash” and the shares are disclosed as “Shares to be issued”. It is possible that a finder’s fee of $5,500 related to this private placement is due, although this matter is under discussion. The Company also settled certain payables of $14,042 for shares at $0.10 per share by issuing 140,416 common shares.
In July 2010, the Company borrowed $25,000 from a private lender incorporated in Panama. The loan bears interest at 1% per month until repaid, and has a term of two years. The loan can be repaid (with accrued interest) at any time. |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Shareholders’ Equity
Joshua Gold Resources Inc. (formerly known as Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc.) was incorporated on July 10, 2009 as a “shell Company” or “blank check” corporation and on May 20, 2010 the Company was sold to a new shareholder. On June 4, 2010 control of the Company was sold to a new group of shareholders (the “New Controlling Shareholders”), the corporation’s name was changed to Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc., and the Company entered into certain License and Consulting Agreements with individuals and/or entities controlled by individuals that comprise the New Controlling Shareholders. Having obtained these licenses and considering the Company’s plan for the development of its business using the licensed technology, on June 4, 2010 the Company ceased being a blank check Company and a shell Company.
During the period from inception on July 10, 2009 until the change of control on June 4, 2010 the Company was inactive and incurred only minimal expenses. Subsequent to June 4, 2010, the Company has operated at a low level of activity and, other than the Consulting Agreements entered into on June 4, 2010 with Luc C. Duchesne and Robert G. Cormier, has not entered into employment agreements with any individuals.
The Company’s business plan and objective is to use the licensed intellectual property to provide services and capitalize on opportunities relating to carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs. With the increasing importance of such programs, whether participation in them by businesses is voluntary or as a result of mandatory government regulations, we believe there are opportunities for property owners and holders of timber harvesting rights to unlock the value of forested lands and other parcels of property as sources and generators of carbon credits.
12
Plan of Operations
The Company plans to use its licensed intellectual property and technology to conduct airborne and other surveys of forested lands in areas that are difficult to access. Those surveys would be conducted in a statistically verifiable process designed for use in carbon trading programs to assess the value (and potential value) of the surveyed lands as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs. The Company may also improve the intellectual property, expand the Company’s services into complementary areas and pursue other business opportunities in carbon credit and trading and other areas that are brought to our attention. In addition, the Company may seek to use its licensed intellectual property (and any improvements thereon or derivations therefrom) to pursue opportunities relating to the bio-diversity of surveyed lands.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our assets and business have not yet generated substantial or recurring revenues. 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 and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We will require additional financing to cover costs that we expect to incur over the next twelve months. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding our operations as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or other securities. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue and our business plan will fail.
Results of Operations
Revenues
We have not generated any revenues from our operations during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 or during the period since July 10, 2009 (inception).
Expenses
We incurred general administrative and professional expenses of $83,345 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, and $94,213 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at June 30, 2010, we had cash of $12,987 held in trust for general corporate purposes plus $55,000 held in trust pending closing of the private placement (see also Subsequent Events, note 9).
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $39,633 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. For the six month period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $40,238.
Cash from Financing Activities
We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our operations and our business will fail.
13
Going Concern
We are a development stage Company. In a development stage Company, management devotes most of its activities to developing a market for its products and services. Planned principal activities have begun, but we have not generated revenues to June 30, 2010.
Future Financing
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Penny Stock Rule
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
· contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
· contains a description of the broker's or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements;
· contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
· contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
· defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
· contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
14
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
· with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
· the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
· the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
· monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (as our chief executive officer and chief financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer (who is the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, are effective at a reasonable assurance level. As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures was conducted. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that these controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, control and management of the Company was transformed and began operating as an active business (rather than a shell company). As such, there were significant changes in our internal controls during the period. For example, for the time being and until the operations of the Company make this impractical, all financial transactions involving the Company, including all payments and any incurring of liabilities, requires a signature from, or other approval from, the CEO or CFO of the Company. Furthermore, management believes that until the operations of the Company progress to the point where tight control impedes smooth operations, it will be appropriate and sufficient (from the perspective of internal controls over financial reporting) if approval of the CEO and CFO is required for transactions that are or are reasonably likely to require disclosure in the financial statements.
