REPORT ON INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Linux Gold Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Linux Gold Corp. (the “Company”) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended February 28, 2009 were reported upon by other auditors whose report, dated June 15, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The other auditors’ report have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for such prior periods, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

As described in Note 15, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010 have been restated.

 

As described in Note 16, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the period from inception of exploration stage on March 1, 2003 through February 28, 2011, and the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the period from March 1, 2003 through February 28, 2008 with the related disclosures in the Notes have been marked as “Unaudited”.

Linux Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010

 

1.Nature and Continuance of Operations

 

Linux Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on 27 February 1979 in Canada under the British Columbia Company Act and was extra-provincially registered in the Province of Alberta on 12 October 1995. The Company’s stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States under the symbol “LNXGF”.

 

On 20 February 2003, the shareholders approved a change of name to Linux Gold Corp. and increased the authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares without par value. The Company had been previously pursuing various business opportunities and, effective 1 March 2003, the Company changed its principal operations to mineral exploration. Accordingly, as of 1 March 2003, the Company is considered to be an exploration stage company.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 28 February 2011 and for the year then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a loss of $36,594 for the year ended 28 February 2011 (28 February 2010 – $65,985) and has a working capital deficit of $485,596 at 28 February 2011 (28 February 2010 – $273,760).

 

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At 28 February 2011, the Company has suffered losses from exploration stage activities to date. Although management is currently seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of accounting

 

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are presented in Canadian dollars. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the FASB ASC 915 "Development-Stage Entities". A development-stage enterprise is one in which planned principle operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenue there from. Development-stage companies report cumulative loss from the inception of its development stage activities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Principles of consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary LinuxWizardry Inc., a United States corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to Canadian dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of rates for amortization, the impairment of marketable securities, fair value of imputed interest and the assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” which establishes accounting for stock-based payment transactions for employee services and goods and services received from non-employees.

 

The Company uses the fair-value based method to account for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees granted by measuring the compensation cost of the stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock options which vest immediately are recorded at the date of grant. Stock options that vest over time are recorded over the vesting period using the straight line method. Stock options issued to outside consultants that vest over time are valued at the grant date and subsequently re-valued on each vesting date. The fair value of the stock-based compensation is recorded as a charge to net earnings based on the vesting period with a credit to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of the stock options, consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. In calculating compensation to be recognized for employees, it is required to estimate forfeitures while, in general, estimated forfeitures for non-employees equal to the entire term of options.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

Marketable securities

 

The Company reports investments in debt and marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices or, if quoted prices are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with credit quality and maturity of the investment. All investment securities are designated as available-for-sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.

 

Mineral exploration expenditures

 

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that mineral property acquisition costs are paid with Company shares, those shares are recorded at the estimated fair value at the time the shares are due in accordance with the terms of the property agreements.

For the Years Ended February 28, 2011 and 2010

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Mineral exploration expenditures (continued)

 

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.

 

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

 

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred only exploration costs which have been expensed.

 

To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.

 

Asset retirement obligation

 

The basis of this policy is the recognition of a legal liability for obligations related to the retirement of property, plant and equipment and obligations arising from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operations of those assets. Such asset retirement costs must be recognized at fair value when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be estimated, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted fair value is accreted to the expected settlement value. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset, when one is identifiable, is recorded and amortized over the life of the asset. Where a related future value is not easily identifiable with a liability, the change in fair value over the course of the year is expensed. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period. The estimates are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements.

 

It is possible that the Company’s estimates of its ultimate reclamation and closure liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, changes in the extent of environmental remediation required, changes in the means of reclamation, or changes in cost estimates. Changes in estimates are accounting for prospectively commencing in the period the estimate is revised. To date, the Company has not recognized any asset retirement obligations as a reasonable estimate cannot be made at this time.

 

Long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and the carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of office furniture and vehicle, which are recorded at cost. Office furniture is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 20% per annum and the vehicle is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 30% per annum.

 

Financial instruments

 

Fair Value

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.

 

Credit Risk

The Company’s financial asset that is exposed to credit risk consists primarily of cash. To manage the risk, cash is placed with major financial institutions.

 

Currency Risk

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in U.S. dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Fair value measurement

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

- Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

- Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

All of the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value are applied using Level 1 inputs.

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income taxes

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10. FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely than not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

FASB ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 28 February 2011 and 2010, the Company’s only component of other comprehensive loss was unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. Under FASB ASC 105 the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative US GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Company changed the Company’s references to U.S. GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

 

In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant and Division of Corporation Finance announced the release of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112. This staff accounting bulletin amends or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Specifically, the staff is updating the Series in order to bring existing guidance into conformity with recent pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, namely, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007) (ASC Topic 805), Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (ASC Topic 810), Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The statements in staff accounting bulletins are not rules or interpretations of the Commission, nor are they published as bearing the Commission's official approval. They represent interpretations and practices followed by the Division of Corporation Finance and the Office of the Chief Accountant in administering the disclosure requirements of the Federal securities laws.

 

In April 2009, an update was made to the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, that provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the assets or liability have significantly decreased. This update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In April 2009, an update was made to FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This update is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In May 2009, the FASB announced the issuance of FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. FASB ASC 855 should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. Rather, FASB ASC 855 introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they complete in a form and format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained. The Company has already adopted this policy and its full disclosure is included in Note 14.

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718)”, which addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. The Update provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment award that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the financial statements.

Weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the period        0.01 

  

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of the grant or modification using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

   For the 
Year ended 
February 28,
2011
   For the 
Year ended 
February 28,
2010
 
         
Risk free interest rate   3.02%   1.63 - 2.32% 
Expected life   5 years    4 – 5 years 
Annualized volatility   126.59%   78.17 – 124.38% 
Expected dividends   -    - 

 

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

13.Derivative Liabilities

 

Derivate liabilities consist of warrants that were originally issued in private placements that have exercise prices denominated in United States dollars, which differs from the Company’s functional currency (Canadian dollars) (Note 15). The fair value of these warrants as at February 28, 2011 is $138,465 (2010 - $484,358). The fair value of warrants as at February 28, 2011 was determined using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.00%-1.27% (2010 – 0.19-1.12% ), expected life of 0.19 year-0.77 year (2010 – 0.07-1.63 years), volatility of 167.66% (2010 – 131.81%) and expected dividend of 0% (2010 – 0%).

 

14.Subsequent Events

 

Stock Options Granted

 

On April 14, 2011 the Company granted to a consultant of the Company 400,000 stock options exercisable into the Company’s common shares at a price of US$0.10 per share for five years expiring April 14, 2016.

 

Warrants Expired

 

As of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, 12,400,000 warrants with exercise prices of $0.20 expired, unexercised.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of these consolidated financial statements were issued in accordance with FASB ASC 855 and all material subsequent events have been disclosed as stated above.

 

15.Restatement

 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010 have been restated to account for the accounting for warrants that were issued in connection with a previous private placement. The exercise price of these warrants is denominated in United States dollars, which differs from the Company’s functional currency (Canadian dollars) and therefore these warrants cannot be considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly the fair value of the warrants must be accounted for as a derivative liability with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The effect of the resulting adjustments on the company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010 is as follows:
