XTRA-GOLD RESOURCES CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
June 30, 2015

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
   

Silverwing Systems Corporation (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on September 1, 1998. On June 23, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Advertain On-Line Canada Inc. (“Advertain Canada”), a Canadian company operating in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company changed its name to Advertain On-Line Inc. (“Advertain”) on August 19, 1999. Advertain Canada’s business was the operation of a web site, “Advertain.com”, whose primary purpose was to distribute entertainment advertising on the Internet.

 

 

In May 2001, the Company, being unable to continue its funding of Advertain Canada’s operations, decided to abandon its interest in Advertain Canada. On June 15, 2001, the Company sold its investment in Advertain Canada back to Advertain Canada’s original shareholder. On June 18, 2001, the Company changed its name from Advertain to RetinaPharma International, Inc. (“RetinaPharma”) and became inactive.

 

 

In 2003, the Company became a resource exploration company. On October 31, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Xtra-Gold Resources, Inc. (“XGRI”). XGRI was incorporated in Florida on October 24, 2003. On December 19, 2003, the Company changed its name from RetinaPharma to Xtra-Gold Resources Corp.

 

 

In 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Canadiana Gold Resources Limited (“Canadiana”) and 90% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Goldenrae Mining Company Limited (“Goldenrae”). Both companies are incorporated in Ghana and the remaining 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Goldenrae is held by the Government of Ghana.

 

 

On October 20, 2005, XGRI changed its name to Xtra Energy Corp. (“Xtra Energy”).

 

 

On October 20, 2005, the Company incorporated Xtra Oil & Gas Ltd. (“XOG”) in Alberta, Canada. This subsidiary was struck from the records in 2014.

 

 

On December 21, 2005, Canadiana changed its name to Xtra-Gold Exploration Limited (“XG Exploration”).

 

 

On January 13, 2006, Goldenrae changed its name to Xtra-Gold Mining Limited (“XG Mining”).

 

 

On March 2, 2006, the Company incorporated Xtra Oil & Gas (Ghana) Limited (“XOGG”) in Ghana.

 

 

On November 24, 2012, the Company changed its residency address from the USA to the British Virgin Islands.

CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

   

The Company is in the early stages of development and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its exploration and acquisition activities. The Company has incurred a loss of $227,435 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $26,474,807. Results for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of future results. However, these losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan, which is typical for junior exploration companies. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

   

Management of the Company (“Management”) is of the opinion that sufficient financing will be obtained from external financing and further share issuances to meet the Company’s obligations. At June 30, 2015, the Company has working capital of $646,769, which would not be sufficient to fund the required exploration programs for a period greater than 12 months. The Company’s discretionary exploration activities do have considerable scope for flexibility in terms of the amount and timing of exploration expenditure, and expenditures may be adjusted accordingly if required.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

Generally accepted accounting principles

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

   

Principles of consolidation

   

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xtra Energy (from October 31, 2003), XG Exploration (from February 16, 2004), XOG (from October 20, 2005) and XOGG (from March 2, 2006) and its 90% owned subsidiary, XG Mining (from December 22, 2004). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

   

Use of estimates

   

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties, inputs used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and warrants, inputs used in the calculation of the asset retirement obligation, and the valuation allowance applied to deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.

   

Cash and cash equivalents

   

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash held at financial institutions.

   

Receivables

   

No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided. Management has evaluated all receivables and believes they are all collectible.

   

Recovery of gold

   

Recovery of gold and other income is recognized when title and the risks and rewards of ownership to delivered bullion and commodities pass to the buyer and collection is reasonably assured.

   

Trading securities

   

The Company’s trading securities are reported at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

   

Non-Controlling Interest

   

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XG Mining (from December 22, 2004). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company records a non-controlling interest which reflects the 10% portion of the earnings (loss) of XG Mining allocable to the holders of the minority interest.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d...)

   

Equipment

   

Equipment is recorded at cost and is being amortized over its estimated useful lives using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:


Furniture and equipment 20%
   
Computer equipment 30%
   
Vehicles 30%
   
Mining equipment 20%

Mineral properties and exploration and development costs

The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards to employees and directors and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d...)

   

Stock-based compensation (cont’d…)

   

The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock- based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. For stock options granted to non- employees, the fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

   

Warrants

   

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value using the appropriate valuation methodology and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The warrants are presented as a liability because they do not meet the criteria of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) topic 480 for equity classification. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrants are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

   

Income taxes

   

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.

   

Loss per share

   

Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if converted method. As of June 30, 2015, there were nil warrants and 2,210,000 stock options outstanding (December 31, 2014 - nil warrants and 2,426,000 stock options outstanding) which have not been included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as these were anti-dilutive.

   

Foreign exchange

   

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

   

Financial instruments

   

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. The Company has its cash primarily in commercial banks in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

   

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

   

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.

   

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.

   

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. Investments in trading securities are classified as held for trading, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized in income.

   

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

Concentration of credit risk

The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. The Company sells all gold recovered to one licensed export agent in Ghana. There is no contract in place and the Company is able to switch suppliers at its discretion.

Kibi, Kwabeng and Pameng Projects

The Company holds an individual mining lease over the lease area of each of the Kibi Project, the Kwabeng Project and the Pameng Project, all of which are located in Ghana. Each of these mining leases grant the Company mining rights to produce gold in the respective lease areas until July 26, 2019 with respect to the Kwabeng and Pameng Projects, and until December 17, 2015 with respect to the Kibi Project (formerly known as the Apapam Project), the latter of which can be renewed for up to a further 30 year term on application and payment of applicable fees to the Minerals Commission of Ghana (“Mincom”). All gold production will be subject to a production royalty of the net smelter returns (“NSR”) payable to the Government of Ghana.

Banso and Muoso Projects

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company made an application to Mincom to convert a single prospecting license (“PL”) securing its interest in the Banso and Muoso Projects located in Ghana to a mining lease covering the lease area of each of these Projects. This application was approved by Mincom who subsequently made recommendation to the Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines to grant an individual mining lease for each Project. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2010, the Government of Ghana granted two mining leases for these Projects dated January 6, 2011. These mining leases grant the Company mining rights to produce gold in the respective lease areas until January 5, 2025 with respect to the Banso Project and until January 5, 2024 with respect to the Muoso Project. These mining leases supersede the PL previously granted to the Company. Among other things, both mining leases require that the Company (i) pay the Government of Ghana a fee of $30,000 in consideration of granting of each lease (paid in the March 2011 quarter); (ii) pay annual ground rent of GH¢260.00 (USD$167) for the Banso Project and GH¢280.00 (USD$180) for the Muoso Project; (iii) commence commercial production of gold within two years from the date of the mining leases; and (iv) pay a production royalty to the Government of Ghana. The Company has filed for the necessary permits to commence work on the project. The permits were approved and work has commenced on the properties.

The Company executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Buccaneer Gold Corp. (“Buccaneer”), formerly Verbina Resources Inc., a company related by two directors in common, on July 21, 2010 whereby Buccaneer could acquire an undivided 55% interest in the Company’s interest in the mineral rights of the Company’s Banso and Muoso concessions (“Concessions”). On January 21, 2011, the terms of the agreement were amended.

Pursuant to the 2011 LOI, Buccaneer can acquire a 55% legal and beneficial interest in the Company’s interest in the mineral rights of the Concessions (the “55% Interest”) pursuant to the following terms: Buccaneer shall (i) provide the Company, by February 28, 2011, with notice of its satisfactory completion of due diligence of the Concessions (provided on January 21, 2011), and receipt of regulatory acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange of the 2011 LOI (received on February 16, 2011) (the “Effective Date”); (ii) make a cash payment to the Company of $425,000 consisting of $100,000 upon the Effective Date and $325,000 within 90 days of the Effective Date (received); (iii) issue 1,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares of Buccaneer to the Company upon the Effective Date ( issuedin the March 2011 quarter); ( iv) incur a total of $4,425,000 in exploration expenditures on the Concessions within five (5) years of the Effective Date with $500,000 to be incurred in the first year (completed) from the Effective Date and $1,000,000 in each year thereafter, except that in the final year the exploration expenditures shall be a minimum of $925,000; and (v) pay to the Company $300,000 in connection with a Versatile Time-domain Electromagnetic (“VTEM”), Magnetic and Radiometric survey to be flown over the Concessions by the Company, which payment shall be credited toward the $500,000 in exploration expenditures referred to above in subparagraph (iv). In 2013, Buccaneer ceased all activity at the Concession. At the time and in certain disclosures thereafter, the Company reported that it granted Buccaneer a two year extension to complete its obligation to incur the $4.5 million in exploration expenditures. The Company further reported that Buccaneer had acquired a 55% interest in the alluvial rights relating to the Banso and Muoso projects by making a payment of $50,000 to the Company. The Company has been unable to locate any record of any such extension agreement or alluvial sales agreement or payment in respect thereof, and questions the validity/existence of the same. The circumstances of the reported extension and alluvial sales agreement, and disclosure made by the Company of same, are now under a review by the Company.

   

Additionally, the Company reported on July 24, 2015, that Buccaneer filed an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and Mark McGinnis (the “Action”). In the Action, Buccaneer alleges that in July, 2010, Buccaneer and the Company entered into a letter of intent to option the Company’s Banso and Muoso prospecting licenses in Ghana leading to a joint venture between the parties. Buccaneer also alleges that pursuant to the said joint venture, Buccaneer acquired an immediate 55% undivided interest in the alluvial mining rights of the Company’s Banso and Muoso Concessions ( the “Concessions”) at the time of the agreement was reached and paid $50,000 for those rights. The Action claims against the defendants damages for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty and for an accounting of profits from the sale of alluvial gold recovered from the Concessions. Buccaneer seeks damages in the amount of $5,000,000 plus further amounts and costs to be determined at trial.

   

The Company believes the claims in the Action are without merit and will vigorously defend the unfounded claims in the event they are raised in an appropriate forum. It is the Company’s position that the matters in issue in the Action are subj ect to an arbitration agreement and that the Action is not properly before the Ontario court, and the Company intends to seek an order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice staying the Action. In respect of the allegation in the Action by Buccaneer that it acquired an immediate 55% interest in the alluvial rights to the Concessions, the Company has been unable to locate any record of such alluvial sales agreement or payment in respect thereof, and questions the validity/existence of the same. The Company is reviewing the circumstances of the disclosure made by the Company in respect of an alleged agreement relating to alluvial rights to the Concessions.

Warrants

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no warrants were outstanding. A total of 964,500 warrants expired unexercised during 2014.

Warrant transactions and the number of warrants outstanding are summarized as follows:

      2015           2014  
                                 
  Balance, beginning of year           964,500     CAD$     1.00

       Expired           (964,500 )   CAD$     1.00  
  Balance, end of year                          

Under US GAAP when the strike price of the warrants is denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency, the warrants would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, and would consequently be considered to be a derivative liability. The common share purchase warrants described above are denominated in CAD dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. As a result, the Company determined that these warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of these warrants as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The derivative will be subsequently marked to market through income.

The Company determined that the fair value of the warrant liability at December 31, 2014 to be $nil (December 31, 2013 -$992, December 31, 2012 - $339,589). The fair value of the warrants has been estimated at December 31, 2013 using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model, using a volatility of 30%, risk free interest rate of 0.102%, expected life of 6 months, and a dividend yield of Nil.

The value at issuance was determined to be $275,735 based upon a Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model calculation. The fair value of the warrants has been initially estimated at December 21, 2012 using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model, using a volatility of 95%, risk free interest rate of 1.25%, expected life of 18 months, and a dividend yield of Nil. The Company recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance and recognized the amount as financing expense in the consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was valued at $nil due to expiry (December 31, 2013 - $992, December 31, 2012 - $339,589) and the fair value adjustment was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

CONTINGENCY AND COMMITMENTS

     
a)

The Company leases 881 square feet for its corporate office located at Suite 902, 357 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario. The lease has a 60 month term commencing November 1, 2012, at approximately CAD$3,667 (US$2,934) per month.

     
b)

In late 2009, the Government of Ghana announced an increase in the gross overriding royalty (“GOR”) required payable by all mining companies in the country from 3% to 5%. The industry standard remained at 3% due to stability agreements which were in place with a number of companies. From the commencement of gold recovery in July 2010 to September 2010, the Company paid the GOR at 5% and as of October 2010, the Company began to pay the GOR at 3% until July 1, 2011 when the Company again paid the royalty at 5%. As a result of this decision, there is a potential unrecorded liability of $84,300 related to 2010 activities and a recorded liability of $120,000 related to 2011 activities. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that these amounts will become payable a provision has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the timing of the increase.

     
c)

There was a theft of cash totaling $130,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is actively pursuing the return of these funds by working with the appropriate authorities. Since the outcome of any recovery is currently not reasonably measurable, the Company has expensed these amounts. In the event that resolution of the dispute results in a recovery, the Company will recognize the recovery in the period that the final determination of the amount is made.

     
d)

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received environmental permits for its Banso and Muoso properties. These permits are subject to environmental bonds of $385,000 and $327,000 being posted within the year ended December 31, 2015. Should the bonds not be posted, the Company could lose the permits. The Company is currently negotiating the final balance of the environmental bonds to be posted.

CONTINGENCY AND COMMITMENTS (cont’d…)

     
e)

The Office of the Administrator of Stool Lands in Ghana has attempted to retroactively raise land rents on the Company’s properties from less than $10,000 annually to over $300,000 annually from fiscal 2012. The C ompany disputes the increase and has responded by challenging the legality of the notices as prescribed by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources as required by the Mineral and Mining Act 2006.

On July 3, 2015 the TSX approved the Company’s plan to re-price certain stock options to CAD$0.15 and CAD$0.225 per share. A non-cash expense in the third quarter of 2015 will result from this re-pricing.
