1.

Basis of Presentation

   

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.

   

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

   

These consolidated 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 not generated significant revenues since inception, and is unlikely to 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 28, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $934,036, has not generated significant revenues, and has accumulated losses of $7,750,374 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated 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.

Convertible Debentures

   

In October 2008, the Company issued three convertible debentures for total proceeds of $250,000 which bear interest at 10% per annum, are unsecured, and due one year from date of issuance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest can be converted at any time at the holder’s option into 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.40 per share. The Company also issued 250,000 detachable, non- transferable share purchase warrants. Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of the Company’s common stock for a period of two years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

   

In accordance with ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, the Company determined that the convertible debentures contained no embedded beneficial conversion feature as the convertible debentures were issued with a conversion price higher than the fair market value of the Company’s common shares at the time of issuance.

   

In accordance with ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, the Company allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable share purchase warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the share purchase warrants of $45,930 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount against the convertible debentures. The Company had recorded accretion expense of $45,930, increasing the carrying value of the convertible debentures to $250,000.

   

On January 19, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with one of the debenture holders to settle a $50,000 convertible debenture and $122,535 in accounts payable and accrued interest with the debt holder. Pursuant to the agreement, the debt holder agreed to reduce the debt to Cdn$100,000 on the condition that the Company pays the amount of Cdn$2,500 per month for 40 months, beginning March 1, 2012 and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter.

   

On July 18, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the $150,000 debenture holder. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the due date of the convertible debenture with a principal amount of $150,000 was extended to April 11, 2013, and the Company paid $43,890 of interest. In addition, commencing on October 31, 2012, the Company will pay accrued monthly interest at 10% per annum until April 11, 2013 when the Company will pay a $10,000 premium and the $150,000 outstanding principal.

   

The Company evaluated the modification and determined that the creditor did not grant a concession. In addition, as the present value of the future cash flows was less than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are not substantially different. As a result, the modification was not treated as an extinguishment of the debt and no gain or loss is recognized.

Commitments and Contingencies

       
(a)

On September 2, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with a company to acquire a worldwide, exclusive license for the Mixed Reactant Flow-By Fuel Cell technology. The term of the agreement is for twenty years or the expiry of the last patent licensed under the agreement, whichever is later. The Company agreed to pay the licensor the following license fees:

       
  • an initial license fee of Cdn$10,000 payable in two installments: Cdn$5,000 upon execution of the agreement (paid) and Cdn$5,000 within thirty days of September 2, 2009 (accrued);

  • a further license fee of Cdn$15,000 (accrued) to be paid within ninety days of September 2, 2009; and

  • an annual license fee, payable annually on the anniversary of the date of the agreement as follows:


    September 1, 2010 Cdn$10,000 (accrued)
    September 1, 2011 Cdn$20,000 (accrued)
    September 1, 2012 Cdn$30,000 (accrued)
    September 1, 2013 Cdn$40,000
    September 1, 2014 and each  
    successive anniversary Cdn$50,000

     

    The Company is to pay the licensor a royalty calculated as 2% of the gross revenue and 15% of any and all consideration directly or indirectly received by the Company from the grant of any sublicense rights. The Company will pay interest at a rate of 1% per month on any amounts past due. In addition, the Company is responsible for the timely payment of all future costs relating to patent expenses and any new or useful art, process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter arising out of any licensor improvements or joint improvements licensed under this agreement and identified by the licensor as potentially patentable. The Company must also invest a minimum of Cdn$250,000 in research and development directly associated with the technology.

         
      (b)

    On April 3, 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a company controlled by a director of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 250,000 stock options and will pay $5,000 per month until April 3, 2013.

         
      (c)

    On April 11, 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued the consultant 200,000 stock options and will pay the consultant $3,000 per month for a period of one year.

         
      (d)

    On May 23, 2012, a former employee of the Company delivered a Notice of Application seeking judgment against the Company for approximately $55,000. The hearing of that Application took place on July 31, 2012, at which time the former employee obtained judgment in the approximate amount of $55,000. The Company did not defend the amount of the judgment and the amount is included in accounts payable, but claims a complete set-off on the basis that the former employee retains 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as security for payment of the outstanding consulting fees owed to him. On August 31, 2012, the Company commenced a separate action against the former employee seeking a return of the 1,000,000 shares of common stock and a stay of execution of the judgment. That application is pending and has not yet been heard or determined by the court. The payment of the judgment claim of approximately $55,000 is dependent upon whether the former employee will first return the 1,000,000 shares of common stock noted above. The probable outcome of the Company’s claim for the return of the shares cannot yet be determined.

    Business Overview

    We were incorporated in Nevada on January 22, 2007. On December 8, 2008 we continued our corporate jurisdiction out of the state of Nevada and into the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Our principal offices are located at #562 – 800 15355 24th Avenue, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, V4A 2H9. Our telephone number is (604) 560-1503. Our fiscal year end is May 31.

    We are building a portfolio of companies and technologies that mitigate negative environmental and health consequences that arise from the production of energy and the consumption of resources.

    Our mission is to develop and commercialize alternative energy technologies and services to enable the sustainable consumption, production and management of resources on residential, commercial and industrial scales. We plan to develop or acquire technologies and services which include electrical power system monitoring technology, wind farm electricity generation, online retail of environmental sustainability solutions through a carbon reduction marketplace, and media solutions to promote awareness of corporate actions that support the environment. To carry out our business strategy we intend to acquire or license from third parties technologies that require further development before they can be brought to market. We also intend to develop such technologies ourselves, and we anticipate that to complete commercialization of some technologies we will enter into joint ventures, partnerships, or other strategic relationships with third parties who have expertise that we may require. We also plan to enter into formal relationships with consultants, contractors, retailers and manufacturers who specialize in the areas of environmental sustainability in order to carry out our online retail strategy.

    We are a development stage company that has only recently begun operations. We have generated only nominal revenues from our intended business activities, and we do not expect to generate significant revenues in the next 12 months. Other than our invention for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide, we have not yet developed or acquired any commercially exploitable technology. Since our inception, we have incurred operational losses and we have completed several rounds of financing to fund our operations.

    We also have a number of inactive subsidiaries which we plan to engage in various business activities in the future.

    On February 20, 2012, we entered into a director agreement with Tommy David Unger. As compensation, under the director agreement, we granted stock options to Mr. Unger to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.01 per share. These options are non-transferrable, vest immediately and expire the earlier of 24 months, or upon the termination of the director agreement.

    On July 31, 2012, our subsidiary, Mantra Energy, entered into a master services agreement with Tekion (Canada), Inc. Mantra Energy’s ERC technology converts carbon dioxide (CO2) in stack gases to a formate salt which can then be further processed into formic acid or used to operate a fuel cell to generate power. Mantra Energy has engaged Powertech Labs to do further engineering on the system. In order to get this technology to commercialization, Tekion has proposed a program that will run in parallel to the Powertech program to help Mantra with some of the critical issues regarding this process.

    Pursuant to the terms of the master services agreement, Tekion will provide services to Mantra Energy as follows:

    1.

    Mantra Energy will authorize provision of services from time to time by the execution of a statement of work (“SOW”).

       
    2.

    Tekion shall provide Mantra Energy with the deliverables, and on the terms, as specified in the SOW.

       
    3.

    Mantra Energy shall not be liable for any deliverable to be provided by Tekion unless and until the same is decided by Mantra Energy as being in compliance with the functions, features, capabilities, components, aspects, qualities and capacities described in any specification agreed to by the parties relating to deliverables. Mantra Energy shall not unreasonably withhold its acceptance of any such deliverable.

       
    4.

    Electro Reduction of Carbon Dioxide (“ERC”)

    On November 2, 2007, through our subsidiary, Mantra Energy, we entered into a technology assignment agreement with 0798465 BC Ltd. whereby we acquired 100% ownership in and to a certain chemical process for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide as embodied by and described in the following patent cooperation treaty application:

    The reactor at the core of the chemical process, referred to as the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2), or ERC, has been proven functional through small scale prototype trials. ERC offers a possible solution to reduce the impact of CO2 on Earth’s environment by converting CO2 into chemicals with a broad range of commercial applications, including a fuel for a next generation of fuel cells. Powered by electricity, the ERC process combines captured carbon dioxide with water to produce materials, such as formic acid, formate salts, oxalic acid and methanol, that are conventionally obtained from the thermo-chemical processing of fossil fuels. However, while thermo-chemical reactions must be driven at relatively high temperatures that are normally obtained by burning fossil fuels, ERC operates at near ambient conditions and is driven by electric energy that can be taken from an electric power grid supplied by hydro, wind, solar or nuclear energy.

    8


    In fuel cells liquid fuels are indirectly burned with air to form carbon dioxide and water, while generating electricity. This process is known as electrochemical combustion or electro-oxidation. The complementary nature of ERC and electro-oxidation makes it possible to use ERC in a regenerative fuel cell cycle, where carbon dioxide is converted to a fuel that is consumed in a fuel cell to regenerate carbon dioxide. As shown in the figure, the net energy input required in this cycle could be supplied from a renewable or non-fossil fuel source.

    ERC has been shown to produce a range of compounds, including formic acid, formate salts, oxalic acid, and methanol. The efficiency for generation of each compound depends on the experimental conditions, most importantly the material of the cathode, which catalyses the electrochemical reactions.

    Until appropriate cathodes are found some products of CO2 reduction (methanol, for instance) are obtained at efficiencies too low for practical use. Other products can be generated on known cathodes with high current yields that could support valuable practical processes. For example, formic acid has been obtained on tin cathodes with current yields above 80%. Formate salts and sodium bicarbonate are obtained at similarly high yields.

    ERC Development to Date

    We have retained one of the creators of the technology, Professor Colin Oloman, as a member of our scientific advisory board, to further develop the carbon dioxide reduction process to achieve optimal results on a consistent basis. On June 1, 2008, we entered into a technology development and support agreement with Kemetco Research Inc., an integrated science, technology and innovation company. Pursuant to that agreement, we have established a research and development facility for the ERC in Vancouver, British Columbia, staffed by a dedicated research team provided by Kemetco.

    In October of 2008, we completed our first ERC prototype reactor capable of processing 1 kilogram of CO2 per day. In order to facilitate the testing and development of this reactor, we entered into an agreement with Kemetco on January 29, 2010. The agreement was intended to govern the development and testing of our prototype reactor for a period of 10 months and contemplated costs of approximately $250,000 including labor and materials purchases. On March 18, 2010 we entered into another agreement with Kemetco which amended and replaced the January 29, 2010 agreement. Under the terms of the latest agreement, we agreed to proceed with the testing and development of our ERC prototype reactor for a period of 5 months at an estimated cost of approximately $125,000.

    Pictured Above, Design for Bench Scale ERC Reactor

    We anticipate that commercialization of ERC will require us to develop reactors capable of processing not less than 100 tons of CO2 per day; however, there is no guarantee that we will successfully produce reactors of that size. Production of commercially viable ERC reactors will depend on continued research and development, successful testing of small scale ERC reactors, and securing of additional financing. At the conclusion of our current agreement and development program with Kemetco, an assessment will be made of the project’s progress and the next phase to be conducted.

    Established and Emerging Market for ERC and By-Products:

    The technology behind ERC can be applied to any scale commercial venture which outputs CO2 into the atmosphere. We anticipate that, once fully commercialized, we will be able to offer ERC as a CO2 management system to various industry including steel, power generation and lumber.

    The existing applications of ERC by-products include use as feedstock preservatives, de-icing solutions, and baking soda, among others. Sodium formate and formic acid, two of the main by-products of ERC, currently have an average market value of $1,200/ton, with more than 600,000 tons of formic acid produced annually (Li, 2006). Their applications are diverse, including feedstock preservatives, de-icing solutions, cleaning solutions and baking soda to name a few. The market for formic acid has experienced continual growth and demand over the past several years, mainly attributed to the following: European and developing country demand for formic acid in silage, rising raw materials, energy and logistics costs; and animal feed preservative and Asian demand for formic acid in leather, rubber, food and pharmaceutical industries. The average market price of formic acid is expected to increase by as much as 20% in 2012. (Dunia Frontier Consultants, 2008).

    However, if the ERC process reaches market acceptance as a way to deal with CO2 emissions from industry facilities, it will likely lead to supply of formic acid in excess of current market demand. We have identified several potential future applications for formic acid, which may lead to an expansion in current market demand. The application we have identified and are currently focusing on is steel pickling.

    Steel Pickling

    Steel pickling is part of the finishing process in the production of certain steel products in which oxide and scale are removed from the surface of strip steel, steel wire, and other forms of steel, by dissolution in acid. A solution of either hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sulfuric acid is generally used to treat carbon steel products, while a combination of hydrofluoric and nitric acids is often used for stainless steel. Approximately one quarter of the HCl produced in the U.S. is used for pickling steel (American Chemistry, 2003), consuming an estimated 5Mt/year. As an organic acid, formic acid would be a very attractive replacement for HCl in the steel pickling process. Formic acid has many potential advantages over HCl in this application, including: less iron lost from the steel surface, improvement in final surface quality, and the elimination of corrosion inhibiting and neutralizing rinse processes to prevent rust development. In addition, formic acid is both bio-degradable and reusable which would allow water used in the picking process to be recycled more easily.

    As of February 28, 2013, we had $126,600 cash in our bank accounts and a working capital deficit of $934,036. As of February 28, 2013 we had total assets of $280,962 and total liabilities of $1,216,030.

    From January 22, 2007 (date of inception) to February 28, 2013, we raised net proceeds of $4,943,246 in cash from the issuance of common stock and share subscriptions received, $201,571 from loans payable and $250,000 from proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures offset by repayment of loans payable of $50,100 and repayment of capital lease obligations of $4,056 for a total of $5,340,661 of cash provided by financing activities for the period.

    We received net cash of $1,137,030 from financing activities for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $249,901 for the same period in 2012. During the period in 2013 we raised cash from the issuance of our common stock and share subscriptions received. In the comparable period, we also raised cash in the same manner.

    We used net cash of $1,219,401 in operating activities for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $269,312 for the same period in 2012. We used net cash of $5,030,834 in operating activities for the period from January 22, 2007 (date of inception) to February 28, 2013.

    During the nine months ended February 28, 2013 we had a net decrease of $89,000 in our cash position compared to a net decrease of $27,511 for the same period in 2012. Our monthly cash requirements for the nine month period ended February 28, 2013 was approximately $101,617 compared to $22,443 for the same period in 2012. At our current cash position and if this cash requirement continues, we do not have sufficient cash to cover our expenses for one month.

    We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations. We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have had to rely on outside capital resources. We do not anticipate making significant revenues for the next year. Over the next 12 months, we plan to primarily concentrate on commercializing our ERC technology and associated projects.

    In order to fully carry out our business plan, we need additional financing of approximately$4,600,000 for the next 12 months. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private placement sales of our equity securities or shareholders’ loans. We do not presently have sufficient financing to undertake our planned business activities. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

    We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

    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.

    Inflation

    The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results has not been significant.

    Critical Accounting Policies

    Our consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our 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 our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

    Long-lived Assets

    In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, our 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.

    15


    Stock-based Compensation

    Our company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

    Our company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by our company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

    Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

    As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

    Item 4. Controls and Procedures

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

    We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

    As of the end of our quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

    Changes in Internal Controls

    During the period covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

    Item 1. Legal Proceedings

    On May 23, 2012, a former employee of our company delivered a Notice of Application seeking judgment against our company for approximately $55,000. The hearing of that Application took place on July 31, 2012, at which time the former employee obtained judgment in the approximate amount of $55,000. Our company did not defend the amount of the judgment and the amount is included in accounts payable, but claims a complete set-off on the basis that the former employee retains 1,000,000 shares of common stock of our company as security for payment of the outstanding consulting fees owed to him.

    On August 31, 2012, our company commenced a separate action against the former employee seeking a return of the 1,000,000 shares of common stock and a stay of execution of the judgment. That application is pending and has not yet been heard or determined by the court. The payment of the judgment claim of approximately $55,000 is dependent upon whether the former employee will first return the 1,000,000 shares of common stock noted above. The probable outcome of our company’s claim for the return of the shares cannot yet be determined.

    Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

    On December 11, 2012, we issued 2,925,001 units at a purchase price of USD$0.12 per unit, for total proceeds of USD$351,000.12. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant is exercisable for the purchase of one share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing at a price of USD$0.20 per share or five business days after our company’s common stock trades at least one time per day on the FINRA Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at a price equal to or above USD$0.40 per Share for seven consecutive trading days. We issued 2,883,001 units of private placement to 20 non U.S. persons (at that term as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933), in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The remaining 42,000 units were issued to one U.S. individual (as that term is defined in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided for under Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
