Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
1. |
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business | |
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 22, 2007 to acquire and commercially exploit various new energy related technologies through licenses and purchases. The Company is a development stage company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.7 Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises, in the business of developing and providing energy alternatives. | ||
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has yet to acquire commercially exploitable energy related technology, has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of management to raise additional equity capital through private and public offerings of its common stock, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at February 29, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $1,359,367 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. | ||
2. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
a) |
Basis of Presentation | |
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 22, 2007. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Companys fiscal year-end is May 31. | ||
b) |
Interim Financial Statements | |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and conforms with instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B and reflects all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending May 31, 2008. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended May 31, 2007.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) | |
c) |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. | ||
d) |
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share | |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 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 income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential 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 dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. At February 29 2008, the Company had 2,598,750 dilutive potential shares outstanding. | ||
e) |
Comprehensive Loss | |
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at February 29, 2008, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements. | ||
f) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. | ||
g) |
Financial Instruments | |
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to related parties, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Companys operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. | ||
h) |
Income Taxes | |
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. | ||

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) | |
i) |
Foreign Currency Translation | |
The Companys functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. | ||
j) |
Stock-based Compensation | |
The Company has adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R Share Based Payments, using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not issued any stock options since its inception. Accordingly, there was no effect on the Companys reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a result of SFAS No. 123R. | ||
k) |
Long-Lived Assets | |
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. | ||
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. | ||
l) |
Intangible Assets | |
The costs of the Companys intangible assets have been capitalized pursuant to FAS 141 Business Combinations and FAS 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets as they have been developed to the point where technological feasibility has been proven. The Company will record amortization on its intangible assets upon receipt patent approval. If the Company fails to obtain the patents the costs will be expensed. | ||
m) |
Property and Equipment | |
Property & equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related asset. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. | ||

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. | ||
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. | ||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities an Amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations. | ||
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available-for- sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. | ||
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations. | ||

3. Intangible Assets

The inventors of the TPS Processor (who are represented by the University of Toronto) filed patent applications for the TPS Processor in the United States and Canada in 2005. Those patent applications are pending and no patent has yet been granted in respect of the TPS Processor. There is no guarantee that any such patent will be granted in whole or in part.
On November 2, 2007, the Company entered into a technology assignment agreement whereby the Company acquired all right and title in and to a certain invention for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide subject to a patent cooperation treaty application in consideration for 40,000 shares of the Companys common stock with a fair value of $0.25 per share and options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock with a fair value of $15,095.

All options granted during the period had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the date of the grant. | ||
The total fair value of the options vested during the nine months ended February 29, 2008, was $81,811 (2007 -$nil) and $66,716 included in the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended February 29, 2008 and the fair value of options associated with asset acquisition of $15,095 has been allocated to the asset.. At February 29 2008, the Company had no unrecognized compensation expense relating to unvested options.

As the Company has limited trading history, the S & P Small Cap Index was used to calculate volatility. The risk free interest rate is the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The dividend rate was 0% as the Company has not paid, and does not intend to pay any dividends. The expected life of the award is assumed to be equal to the full term of the award. The fair value of the Companys common stock was $0.25 for 1,450,000 options and $0.40 for 50,000 options at the measurement date. The Company determined that the fair value of their common stock was equal to the value of the Companys most recent issuance of common stock for cash.

(1) On January 23, 2007, we issued 30,000,000 shares of our common stock to 0770987 BC Ltd., a company controlled by Larry Kristof, our President, CEO, CFO and director at $0.00001 per share for cash proceeds of $300. On July 12, 2007, 15,000,000 of the shares of our common stock issued to 0770987 BC Ltd. were cancelled.
(2) On May 28, 2007, we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock to an individual with a fair market value of $400 for consulting services. On September 7, 2007, the 10,000 shares of our common stock issued for consulting services were cancelled due to the cancellation of the consulting agreement.
(3) On July 6, 2007, we issued 25,000 shares of our common stock to an individual with a fair market value of $2,500 for consulting services. On September 7, 2007, the 25,000 shares of our common stock issued for consulting services were cancelled due to the cancellation of the consulting agreement.
For the nine months ended February 29, 2008, we used net cash of $64,529 in investing activities and we used net cash of $877,933 in operating activities. We also received net cash of $1,001,968 from financing activities. The increase in cash for the three months ended February 29, 2008 was $59,506 due to the sale of our common stock.
We expect to require approximately $4,005,000 in financing to acquire and develop technologies and launch the online carbon reduction marketplace over the next 12 months (beginning April 2008), as follows:
Description | Estimated expenses ($) |
Completion, full launch and development of an online carbon reduction marketplace | 1,135,000 |
Development and marketing of TPS Processor | 1,000,000 |
Development and marketing of ERC Technology and establishment of a research laboratory facility | 500,000 |
Development of the end-to-end energy services business | 525,000 |
Development of the promotional and marketing service business | 225,000 |
Preliminary development of Wind Farms | 620,000 |
Total | 4,005,000 |

Our other planned operational expenses for the next twelve months (beginning April 2008) are summarized as follows:
Description | Target completion date or period | Estimated expenses ($) |
Completion of road shows | April 30, 2008 | 26,000 |
Management and consulting fees (including expenses of the proposed Scientific Advisory Board) | 12 months | 700,000 |
Raise additional private or public equity (legal, accounting and marketing fees) | September 30, 2008 | 176,000 |
Legal and Professional Fees | 12 months | 140,500 |
Travel and Promotional Expenses | 12 months | 230,000 |
General and Administrative Expenses | 12 months | 129,500 |
Total | 1,402,000 |
At present, our cash requirements for the next twelve months outweigh the funds available to maintain or develop our operations. Of the $5,407,000 that we need for the next 12 months, we had $73,488 in cash as of February 29, 2008. In order to fully carry out our business plan, we need additional financing of approximately $5,334,000 for the next 12 months. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. We intend to negotiate with our management and consultants to pay parts of salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash. There can be no assurance we will be successful in our efforts to secure additional equity financing. If we are unable to raise equity or obtain alternative financing, we may not be able to continue operations with respect to the continued development and marketing of our company and our subsidiaries and we may not be able to continue our operations and our business plan may fail. You may lose your entire investment.
If operations and cash flow improve through these efforts, management believes that we can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or an improvement in our liquidity situation. The threat of our ability to continue as a going concern will be removed only when revenues have reached a level that sustains our business operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

-
On February 13, 2008 we issued 275,000 common shares to Dan Funaro and Omni Enterprises Limited upon exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for cash proceeds of $137,500. These securities were issued without a prospectus pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.

On February 28, 2008, we issued 100,000 units at $0.40 per unit to 0770987 BC Ltd., a company controlled by Larry Kristof, our President, CEO and director, for cash proceeds of $40,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant to purchase one common share at $0.50 per share until February 28, 2010. These securities were issued without a prospectus pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.
We completed the offerings of the common stock pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act on the basis that the sale of the common stock was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the units. Each investor was not a US person, as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a US person.
Our reliance upon the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 was based on the fact that the issuance of these shares did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a "public offering" as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a "public offering." The investors negotiated the terms of the transactions directly with our executive officers. No general solicitation was used, no commission or other remuneration was paid in connection with these transactions, and no underwriter participated. Based on an analysis of the above factors, these transactions were effected in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering.
Each investor was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to any of the purchasers.
