CYCLONE URANIUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

NOTE 2 - Acquisition of New Fork Uranium Corporation
On March 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the shareholders of New Fork Uranium Corporation ("New Fork") sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Fork to the Company in exchange for the issuance to the shareholders of an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, at $0.001 par value, of the Company.
The 50,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement were issued pro rata to all of the shareholders of New Fork on the basis of 0.877192983 shares of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding New Fork share of common stock issued and outstanding on the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
New Fork holds 521 mining claims in the areas adjacent to the Company’s Cyclone Rim uranium exploration properties in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. New Fork’s assets are comprised of 521 federal mining claims covering about 10,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") land. These claims cover a large portion of the sinuous, uranium bearing roll-front that exists in this part of south-central Wyoming. The Company’s existing Cyclone Rim claims cover a 28 mile extent of the western portion of this same roll-front trend. This area of Sweetwater County is a historical uranium-mining district that is seeing a resurgence of development activity. The Company now holds significant acreage on key uranium ground in the Red Desert.
The transaction described above relating to the acquisition of New Fork was accounted for as a business combination. A summary of the transaction is presented below:
Fair value of net tangible assets acquired: | | |
| | |
Cash | $ | 297,564 |
Prepaid expenses and other assets | | 89,989 |
Accounts payable | | (69,030) |
Acquired net assets (100%) | $ | 318,523 |
| | |
Purchase Price: | | |
| | |
Issuance of 50,000,000 shares of stock | $ | 2,030,300 |
Total | $ | 2,030,300 |
| | |
Mineral rights | $ | 1,711,777 |
| | |
Subsequent to the acquisition of New Fork, the company evaluated its new holdings, and determined that the carrying value of the mineral rights exceeded their net realizable value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $311,777 for the year ended January 31, 2013. The Company re-evaluated the carrying value of the mineral rights at April 30, 2013 with no additional impairment.
NOTE 3 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods when they are anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation.
NOTE 4 - Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,909,005 and has a working capital deficit of $1,099,584 at April 30, 2013. The Company has no current revenue producing operations and is in default on its $300,000 note dated August 31, 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to achieve its operating goals and thus positive cash flows from operations is dependent upon the future market price of metals, future capital raising efforts, and the ability to achieve and sustain efficient revenue producing operations. Management's plans will require additional financing, reduced exploration activity or disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. While the Company has been successful in these capital raising endeavors in the past, there can be no assurance that its future efforts and anticipated operating improvements will be successful.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5 - Notes Payable
Shareholders
In 2005, a shareholder advanced $30,000 to the Company for working capital purposes and to assist in identification of new mining properties. This loan is due on demand and bore interest at 5% per annum through January 31, 2009, at which time the interest rate was increased to 10% per annum. During the years ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, the shareholder advanced an additional $50,000 and $80,000, respectively, under substantially identical terms. On August 31, 2011 the shareholder advanced a further $150,000 and added an additional $30,000 on Oct 27, 2011, for a loan total of $340,000 at January 31, 2012. The additional loans were drafted under identical terms of previous loans advanced to the Company in the current year. Payments of $180,000 were made on these loans during the year ended January 31, 2013. As of April 30, 2013 principal and interest due are $160,000 and $91,055.
On January 7, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a shareholder in the form of a promissory note payable, in the amount of $35,000. The terms of the note include an interest rate of 15% that is accrued and paid at the time of maturity. The note and accrued interest are due and payable July 7, 2013. As of April 30, 2013, the Company recorded $1,640 in accrued interest. In connection with a note payable, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable on or before January 7, 2016 at $0.02 per share. The fair value at the date of grant was $25,417 using a Black Scholes option pricing model using inputs described in Note 9, and the full expense was recorded as of the date of issuance.
Non-affiliates
On August 31, 2012 the Company entered into a $300,000 bridge loan financing arrangement with an unaffiliated accredited investor, the proceeds of which were used to pay maintenance fees to the Bureau of Land Management and general operating expenses of the Company. The note payable bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and was due and payable on or before October 30, 2012. As of April 30, 2013, the Company was unable to repay the note, thus, the Company is in default on the note. The default interest rate is 45%. As of April 30, 2013 the balance due, including interest, is $376,807. In addition, the note is secured by all of the property of the Company. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the lender with regard to negotiating an extension on the note.
In connection with the financing agreement, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase 6,814,000 shares of common stock, exercisable on or before August 31, 2017 at $0.02 per share. The fair value at the date of grant was $132,332 using a Black Scholes option pricing model using inputs described in Note 9, and the full expense was recorded as of the date of issuance.
NOTE 6 - Asset Retirement Obligations and Restricted Deposits
Asset retirement obligations relate to legal obligations for site restoration and clean-up costs for exploration drilling activities in Arizona and Wyoming. The Company posts restricted deposits with US government agencies that are legally restricted for the purpose of settling these obligations.
The balance of restricted deposits at April 30, 2013 was $35,000, which may be released upon future inspection by the Arizona BLM.
NOTE 7 - Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
On April 26, 2013 closed on an investment of $10,000. On April 30, 2013, the Company accepted a stock subscription for $25,000 which was paid on May 1, 2013.the Company issued 500,000 shares and 1,250,000 shares respectively at $0.02 per share. Each share included one-half warrant exercisable at $0.25 per share with a term of five years from issuance.
NOTE 8 - Common Stock Options and Warrants
The Company's 2012 Stock Option Plan adopted by the Board of Directors on September 17, 2012 states that the exercise price of each option will be granted at an amount that equals the fair market value at the date of grant. All options vest at a time determined at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. All options expire if not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant, unless stated otherwise by the Board of Directors upon issuance.
The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of options granted under the Company's 2012 Stock Option Plan. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
On March 25, 2013 the Company issued stock options to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock to an individual providing contract CFO services to the Company, half of which vested upon issuance and twenty five percent which will vest in each of the subsequent two years of service to the Company. The options were priced at $0.02 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the option grant was estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Overview
Cyclone Uranium Corporation (formerly known as Fischer-Watt Gold Company, Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries, "Cyclone Uranium", "Cyclone" or the "Company"), was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1986. Cyclone Uranium's primary business is mining and mineral exploration, and to that end to own, acquire, improve, sell, lease, convey lands or mineral claims or any right, title or interest therein; and to search, explore, prospect or drill for and exploit ores and minerals therein or thereupon.
Mineral Properties
Through several acquisitions, the Company evolved and has focused on building a portfolio of uranium mining claims in Wyoming, South Dakota and Arizona. The most recent of which was the March 14, 2012 acquisition of New Fork. New Fork's assets are comprised of 521 federal mining claims covering about 10,000 acres of BLM land. These claims cover a large portion of the sinuous, uranium bearing roll-front that exists in this part of south-central Wyoming. The Company’s existing Cyclone Rim claims cover a 28-mile extent of the western portion of this same roll-front trend. This area of Sweetwater County is a historical uranium-mining district that is seeing a resurgence of development activity. The Company now holds significant acreage on key uranium ground in the Red Desert.
On March 19, 2012, James G. Baughman was appointed Chairman, President, CEO, and acting Chief Financial Officer to succeed Peter Bojtos who had held those positions since 2005. Mr. Baughman is an experienced geologist and mining company executive with proven management skills, and possesses an international background in the mining industry. Mr. Baughman has worked as a geologist for more than 25 years in mining operations and mineral exploration projects for precious, base metals, and uranium and has also provided technical services and project management for a number of major and junior mining companies.

Corporate Strategy
Management believes that given the global supply and demand outlook for uranium over the next several years that demand could likely exceed supply which in turn could cause uranium prices to increase substantially from their current levels as well as prompt the large uranium producers to acquire uranium properties that could one day go into production. The Company has strategically amassed a portfolio of mining claims that are largely focused on a historically productive uranium mining region in Wyoming and can maintain control of these claims going forward for an annual cost of approximately $200,000 in lease payments to the Bureau of Land Management.
Although the Company can maintain control of these claims going forward for a fairly minimal cost, management believes that it can significantly increase the value of the properties by investing in drill programs to define the resource of these claims. The strategy would be to implement drill programs focused on our Cyclone Rim and New Fork properties in a phased approach over the next couple of years. Management estimates the total required investment for these drill programs to be between $8 million and $15 million with the costs being weighted more heavily toward the later phases and depending on the results from the earlier phases. In order to implement its strategy, the Company will depend on available debt or equity financing, the availability of which is uncertain. Management intends to raise capital through the issuance of equity to fund these programs.
The advantages of implementing a phased drill program are that the Company can assess the results of the earlier phases to be more strategic in investing in the later, more expensive phases and by raising capital incrementally for each phase, management believes that it can minimize the dilutive effect of each subsequent equity raise by demonstrating added value of its claims with each drill program. Assuming these drill programs are successful, management believes that they will substantially increase the value of it properties which would increase shareholder value.
Results of Operations
The following discussion involves the results of operations for the quarters ended April 30, 2013 and April 30, 2012.
The Company had no revenue from production during the quarters ended April 30, 2013 or 2012 as the Company had no properties in production.
Exploration expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2013 were $48,748 compared to $31,745 for the quarter ended April 30, 2012. This increase is attributed to the additional mining claims acquired in the New Fork transaction.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2013 amounted to $103,939 compared to $160,323 for the quarter ended April 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to decreased professional services from the New Fork Acquisition incurred during the prior year.
Total other expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2013 were $43,896 compared to $8,548 for the quarter ended April 30, 2012. Most of this increase was attributable to the interest expense associated with the two outstanding notes payable.
For the quarter ended April 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $196,583 compared to a net loss of $482,093 for the quarter ended April 30, 2012. The decrease in net loss was mostly attributed to the impairment of mineral interests recorded in 2012 of $281,477.

Liquidity and Financial Condition
The Company had unrestricted cash on hand at April 30, 2013, of $6,502 compared to $21,323 on January 31, 2013. The Company also holds restricted cash of $35,000 relating to reclamation bonds covering the mineral properties acquired from Tournigan Energy.
Current liabilities amounted to $1,236,185 on April 30, 2013 compared to $1,178,455 on January 31, 2013 of which $796,075 and $779,459, respectively, were owed to affiliates. We also increased current liabilities with a $300,000 bridge loan from a non-affiliate on August 31, 2012, which is currently in default. Current assets amounted to $111,601 resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,124,585 at April 30, 2013.
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2013 was $49,821 compared to $56,700 for the three months ended April 30, 2012.
Cash provided from investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2013 was $-0- compared to $297,564 for the three months ended April 30, 2012. This decrease was due to an infusion of cash from the New Fork acquisition in the prior year.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2013 was $35,000 compared to cash used in financing activities of $104,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of common stock and a loan, offset by repayment of a portion of a shareholder note payable.
The first phase of drilling activities on the Wyoming properties will likely cost between $3 million and $4 million. If we are unable to raise the additional capital necessary for these activities at favorable terms, we will postpone these drilling programs until we are able to do so and cash used in operating activities would remain in line with current levels.
The Company recognizes its need for additional funding either from equity sales or borrowings to create a more favorable working capital ratio and allow for a more aggressive property acquisition program. The Company also recognizes that there is no assurance that adequate additional financing is either available or achievable on terms acceptable to it.
Management anticipates capital needs of between $3 million and $4 million over the next twelve months to fund the first phases of drilling programs for the Company’s Cyclone Rim and New Fork properties. The scope of this phase would likely drilling as many as 100 drill holes on these properties to determine the presence or absence of uranium mineralization with the intent of being able to eventually establish and support an inferred mineral resource calculation for these claims. If the Company is unable to raise this capital at favorable terms, management has the ability to postpone these activities until it is able to raise the level of capital needed. Should that be the case, management has the ability to run the Company at its current level of activity and operating cash requirements going forward which require approximately $500,000 in capital over the next twelve months.
The Company's financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced significant net losses since inception and has a significant negative working capital position. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, the Company was unable to repay its $300,000 note, thus, the Company is in default on the note. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
16
Other
Management believes that the Company has adequately reserved its reclamation commitments. Management also believes that the Company is substantially in compliance with all environmental regulations.
While it intends to continue with its uranium exploration, management also continues to evaluate precious and/or base-metal mineral properties with a view to developing into a cash generating, profitable, producing mine. The chief area of interest is in the western United States.
Contractual Obligations
The Company entered into an employment agreement with James Baughman on March 19, 2012. The term is indefinite and provides for an annual salary of $36,000. Upon termination without cause, Mr. Baughman is entitled to two times the annual salary, two times the targeted annual bonus and accrued but unused vacation time.
