1. | Nature of Business and Going Concern |
Nature of Business
Nayarit Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "Nayarit") is a Canadian mineral exploration company engaged in locating, acquiring and exploring for gold, silver and base metals primarily in Mexico and has not yet determined whether its exploration property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company's continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration property interests are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its exploration property interests, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the exploration property interests. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Ontario on November 27, 2003. To date, the Company has not earned any revenue and is considered to be in the development stage as defined by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Accounting Guideline 11 "Enterprises in the Development Stage".
The Company's operations comprise a single reporting operating segment engaged in mineral exploration in Mexico (2009 – same). As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed in the consolidated statements of loss for the period also represent segment amounts. At March 31, 2010 (2009 – same), all of the Company's mineral properties are located in Mexico and substantially all cash is on deposit with Canadian chartered banks.
All of the Company’s mining assets are located outside of Canada and are subject to the risk of foreign investments, including increase in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and political uncertainty.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
Going Concern
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the following paragraph. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.
1. | Nature of Business and Going Concern (continued) |
The Company is in the exploration stage and is subject to the risks and challenges similar to other companies in a comparable stage of exploration. These risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on key individuals, successful exploration results and the ability to secure adequate financing to meet the minimum capital required to successfully complete the project and continue as a going concern. As at March 31, 2010, the Company had positive working capital of approximately $30,000, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $572,000; however, management estimates that these funds will not be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations and budgeted expenditures through March 31 2011. Any funding shortfall may be met in the future in a number of ways including, but not limited to, the sale of equity or debt securities, further expenditure reductions, renegotiation of the amount and timing of exploration property payments, the introduction of joint venture partners, and/or a Business Combination (see Note 14). There is, however, no assurance that these sources of funding or initiatives will be available to the Company, or that they will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2010.
The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2009.
(a) Recently Adopted Accounting Policies
Financial Instruments
In June 2009, the AcSB issued amendments to Section 3862, “Financial Instruments – Disclosures”, to require enhanced disclosures about the relative reliability of the data, or “inputs”, that an entity uses in measuring the fair values of its financial instruments. The new requirements are effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after September 30, 2009. The additional disclosures will be included in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending September 30, 2010.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(b) Future Accounting Changes
Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and Section 1602, “Non-controlling Interests” which replace Section 1581, “Business Combinations” and Section 1600, “Consolidated Financial Statements". Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Section 1582 is applicable for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this section is permitted. Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1601 is applicable for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this section is permitted. If the Company chooses to early adopt any one of these sections, the other two sections must also be adopted at the same time.
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP is for interim and annual financial statements relating to the fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, the Company will begin reporting under IFRS for its interim and annual periods for the year ended September 30, 2012. The Company’s transition date will be October 1, 2010, which will require restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended September 30, 2011. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The Company considers the items included in consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as capital. Accordingly, the capital of the Company is $24.3 million and $24.8 million as at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended March 31, 2010. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
4. | Financial Risk Factors |
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit Risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to short-term investments and receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Short-term investments consist of guaranteed investment certificates, which have been invested with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments in these areas is remote.
Liquidity Risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2010, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $572,272 (September 30, 2009 - - $2,481,433) to settle current liabilities of $608,531 (September 30, 2009 - $378,613). All of the Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
Market Risk
The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in Mexican Pesos (MXN) or US Dollars (USD) on a cash call basis using MXN or USD currencies converted from its Canadian dollar bank accounts held in Canada. Financial instruments included in exploration property interests consist of estimated IVA amounts recoverable which are recoverable in Mexican Pesos. The estimated IVA amounts recoverable balance was $1,136,885CAD ($13,519,893MXN) and $1,043,579CAD ($13,005,720 MXN) as at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is insignificant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
4. | Financial Risk Factors (continued) |
Market Risk (continued)
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
See Note 1.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments as held-for-trading, and measured them at fair value. Financial instruments included in prepaids and sundry receivables are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.
As at March 31, 2010, the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's financial instruments are approximately the same. Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes movements in interest rates, foreign exchange, and commodity prices are reasonably possible over a three month period.
Short term investments include deposits at call which are at variable rates. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 1% change in rates would affect net loss by $nil.
The Company has IVA amounts recoverable in Mexican Pesos that give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk. The impact of a 10% increase in the Mexican Peso relative to the Canadian Dollar is an increase in the consolidated net loss and other comprehensive loss of $127,000CAD. The impact of a 10% decrease in the Mexican Peso relative to the Canadian Dollar is a decrease in the consolidated net loss and other comprehensive loss of $97,000CAD.
Price risk is remote at this time since the Company is not a producing entity.

8. | Share Capital (continued) |
| (i) | On March 24, 2009, the Company completed a brokered private placement consisting of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”) in the Company at a price of $0.50 per Unit for gross proceeds of $10,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share (“Warrant Share”) of the Company at an exercise price of $0.65 per Warrant Share at any time within two years from the date of closing. Jennings Capital Inc. and BMO Capital Markets acted as co-lead agents in an investment dealer syndicate which included Wolverton Securities Inc. |
The agents were paid a cash commission of $700,000 and were issued a total of 1,400,000 warrants (the “Broker Warrants”). Each Broker Warrant is exercisable for one Unit at $0.50 per Unit at any time within 24 months of closing. The fair value of the Broker Warrants issued was determined to be $0.44 per warrant or $622,000 in the aggregate using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to share issue costs. The following weighted average assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 1.07%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected stock volatility of 84% and an expected life of 2 years.
Other consultants were issued a total of 1,000,000 stock options related to the successful completion of the financing. The fair value of the stock options issued was determined to be $0.42 per stock options or $420,000 in the aggregate using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to share issue costs. The following weighted average assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 2.535%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected stock volatility of 84% and an expected life of 5 years. Other share issue costs totaled $305,084. Issue costs of $368,475 were allocated to warrants.
The fair value of the private placement warrants issued was determined to be $0.18 per warrant or $1,789,000 in the aggregate using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 1.07%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected stock volatility of 84% and an expected life of 2 years.
| (ii) | On December 31, 2009, the Company obtained approval to extend the term of 5,682,500 common share purchase warrants that were issued by the Company as part of the January 11, 2008 private placement. The term of these warrants was extended by six months; accordingly, the new expiry date is now July 11, 2010. The amended fair value of the warrants has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.5%; expected life of 0.53 years; expected volatility of 62%, and expected dividend yield of 0%. The additional estimated fair value of $197,313 was allocated to the warrants. |
