Notes to Financial Statements

For the Period Inception (July 10, 2009) to March 31, 2012

1.

Nature of Operations

Joshua Gold Resources Inc. (referred to herein as “Joshua”, or the “Company”) was incorporated on July 10, 2009 in the State of Nevada.

The Company operates as a mineral exploration business headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral property interests in Canada.  The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage and substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these property interests.  

The Company has the rights to three mineral properties, the Carson Property in the Northwest Territories, Canada, the Garrett Property in Ontario, Canada, and the Elijah Property in Shining Tree Ontario, Canada. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven mineral properties contain mineral reserves, which are economically recoverable.

2.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operation.

The Company has incurred a net loss of $263,226 for the period ended March 31 2012, and a working capital deficit of $154,645. As an exploration stage entity, the Company has not yet commenced its mining operations and accordingly does not have any revenue. This casts doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it can begin to generate net profit and raise adequate financing.

The Company has been seeking additional debt or equity financing to support its operations until it becomes cash flow positive.  There can be no assurances that action and plan such as above will be sufficient for the Company to continue operating as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. These adjustments could be material.

3.

Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:

8

Exploration Stage Company

The Company is an exploration stage company.  The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business.  All losses accumulated, since inception, have been considered as part of the Company’s exploration stage activities.

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.

Carrying Value of Mineral Property Interests

The cost of acquiring mineral property interests is capitalized. Capitalized acquisition costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value. Capitalized amounts may be written down if future cash flows, including potential sales proceeds related to the property, are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the property. The Company reviews the carrying value of mineral property interests periodically and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, reductions in the carrying value of each property would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of the investment exceeds the property’s estimated fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company's accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar ("CAD"). Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. In accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 830, transaction gains and losses on these assets and liabilities are included in the determination of income for the relevant years. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income and have not been included in the determination of income for the relevant years.

Discontinued Operations

 

The discontinued operations has been reported separately in accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20,  Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, which provides guidance on when the results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale would be reported as a discontinued operation in the financial statements. A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. A component of an entity may be a reportable segment or an operating segment, a reporting unit.

9

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Some of the Company's more significant estimates include those related to uncollectible receivables, stock-based compensation, equity instruments, and its intangible assets.  These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. ASC 220 establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements.  Comprehensive income is presented in the statements of changes in stockholders' deficit, and consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.  ASC 220 requires only additional disclosures in the financial statements and does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches.  A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund.  Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund.  Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs 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 instruments.
	Level 3  -	inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

10

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity ’ s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company accounts for loss per share pursuant ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year.

There were no dilutive financial instruments for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the period from inception (July 10, 2009) to March 31, 2011.

4.

Mineral Interests

Carson Property

On December 23, 2010, the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement with 2214098 Ontario Ltd. pursuant to which the Company acquired the mining lease to the Carson Property. Under the acquisition agreement, the Company is required to pay:

1.

Cash consideration of $99,060 ($100,000 CAD) to be paid according to an installment schedule between April 30, 2011 and September 30, 2015;

2.

Equity consideration of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued on or before March 30, 2011; and

3.

Royalty of 3% of all net smelter returns upon commencement of commercial production of the property.

The Carson Property is 1,812 acres in area and is located north-north-west of the City of Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The Company’s interest in the property consists of a 21 year mining lease, which expires on June 30, 2024 and for which the Company is responsible for making annual lease payment of $1,141, in order to keep the lease in good standing.

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the only costs related to the property that can be capitalized are the costs of acquisition of a mineral interest from a third party. As such, annual lease payments are expensed as incurred. The capital cost of the lease is amortized on the straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease. For the year ended December 31, 2011, amortization on the Carson Property totaled $14,978. As of December 31, 2011, management determined that there were no events or changes in circumstances which may have impaired the carrying value of the Carson Property.

11

Garrett Property

On June 25, 2011 the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement with Firelake Resources Inc. whereby it acquired certain mineral interests in the Garrett Property. Consideration for the mineral interests is as follows:

2.

Equity consideration of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued on or before January 31, 2012

The Garrett Property is 8,900 acres in area and is located north of the City of Sudbury, in Ontario, Canada. The Company’s interest in the property consists of 157 mineral claim units staked by a prospector. Mining cannot take place until the claims are brought to lease. In order to keep the claims in good standing, the Company is required to perform $32,800 of exploration work before November 2012 and $30,000 of exploration work before October 2013.

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the only costs related to the property that can be capitalized are the costs of acquisition of a mineral interest from a third party. As such, claim staking and exploration work has been expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2011, management determined that there were no events or changes in circumstances, which may have impaired the carrying value of the Garrett Property.

Elijah Property

On February 13, 2012, the Company finalized a mineral property acquisition agreement with Shining Tree Resources Corp., under which the Company would acquire a 50% interest in the Elijah Property in the townships of Churchill and Asquith in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

10.  Financial Instruments

Fair Values

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, harmonized sales tax receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from stockholders, liabilities from discontinued operations, and amounts due on mineral rights acquisition. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in the rates of exchange on foreign currencies will impact the financial position or cash flows of the Company. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, thus the Company is exposed to foreign currency risks in relation to certain payables that are to be settled in US funds. Management monitors its foreign currency exposure regularly to minimize the risk of an adverse impact on its cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss in the event that certain counterparties are unable to fulfill its obligations to the Company. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on its cash by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Harmonized sales taxes receivable are due from the Canadian government and notes receivable are due from stockholders of the Company.

 

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company’s cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge is liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or achieving profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.

17

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that fluctuations in the market prices of minerals will impact the Company’s ability to build and achieve profitable operations. The Company is exposed to market risk on the price of gold, which will determine the profitability of future operations, the amount of exploration and development work that the Company will be able to perform, and the number of financing opportunities that will be available. Management believes that it would be premature at this point to enter into any hedging or forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to specific market price risks.

11.  Discontinued Operations

Between June 4, 2010 and December 23, 2010, the Company had the rights to certain intellectual property which would be used in carbon trading programs. As of December 23, 2010, the Company terminated all its license and consulting agreements with respect to the carbon business and all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to this business line have been classified as discontinued operations.

The Company's results of operations related to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Overview

With respect to this discussion, the terms “we” “us” “our” and the “Company” refer to Joshua Gold Resources Inc.

 

(a)	Corporate History and Background.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 10, 2009.  Prior to the Stock Purchase transaction described below in this Item 2, our business purpose was to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing private company.  Accordingly, we were engaged in organizational efforts in order to put us in a position where we could seek to target and eventually acquire an existing private company.

On June 4, 2010, Ben Fuschino, our sole officer and director at that time, sold his 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares represented 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock, to Luc Duchesne and Robert Cormier for a total purchase price of $7,000 (the “Stock Purchase”).  Upon closing of the Stock Purchase, (i) Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier held a controlling 100% ownership in the Company, (ii) we changed our business and became a start-up carbon measuring company and (iii) we changed our name to Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc. to better reflect our new business enterprise.

Immediately after the closing of the Stock Purchase, on June 4, 2010, we entered into a license agreement (the “Cormier License”) with R&B Cormier Enterprises Inc. (“Cormier Enterprises”), an Ontario corporation and a license agreement (the “GSN License”) with GSN Dreamworks, Inc., an Ontario corporation (“GSN”).  The Cormier License and GSN License (collectively, the “License Agreements”) granted the Company licensed intellectual property and technology to conduct airborne and other surveys of forested lands in areas that are difficult to access. Those surveys would have been conducted in a statistically verifiable process designed for use in carbon trading programs to assess the potential value of the surveyed lands as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs.

Also, on June 4, 2010, the Company entered into consulting agreements (collectively, the “Consulting Agreements”) with Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier, pursuant to which Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier agreed to provide the Company with management and advisory services with respect to the intellectual property licensed to the Company under the Cormier and GSN Licenses.  

On December 23, 2010, the Company elected to terminate the License Agreements and Consulting Agreements as the Company determined that conditions were not in place for the successful exploitation of the technology covered by the License Agreements. The termination did not given rise to any penalties against the Company as the termination was concluded through a mutual agreement of separation.

(b)	Current Business of Issuer and Recent Material Transactions.

Upon termination of the aforementioned License and Consulting Agreements, the Company abandoned the carbon measuring business and became a mineral exploration company located in Oakville, Ontario through the acquisition of a mineral rights lease, as described in further detail below. The Company’s principal business activity now is the exploration of mineral property interests.  The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage and substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to exploring mineral property interests.  There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable.

20

On December 23, 2010, the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement (the “2214098 Acquisition Agreement”) with 2214098 Ontario Ltd. (“2214098”) whereby the Company purchased from 2214098 the mining lease for a certain property located 195 kilometers north-northwest of the City of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, on the west shore of Damoti Lake in the Indin Lake Greenstone Belt and known as a claim BR2 (the “Carson Property”).  The term of the lease runs until June 30, 2024.   The lease is registered at the Northwest Territories Mining Recorder as mining lease 3446 and covers an area of approximately 1,550 acres.  Management believes that the Carson Property could potentially host economic gold deposits and, upon expert opinion of their geologists, warrants continued mineral exploration on the property.

In December of 2010, the Company retained an independent geological firm, Aurora Geosciences Inc. to visit the Carson Property and write an evaluation report under Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 guidelines.  Management, upon the recommendation of Mr. David White, the qualified person who completed the National Instrument 43-101 report, has committed to a phased exploration of the Carson Property upon attainment of sufficient capital.  Management is currently preparing an exploration budget based on this recommendation.

Additionally, on June 25, 2011, the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement (the “Fire Lake Acquisition Agreement”) with Fire Lake Resources Inc. (“Fire Lake”) whereby the Company agreed to purchase from Fire Lake certain mineral interests located in the townships of Eric and Huffman in the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Eric and Huffman Property”) in consideration for the sum of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars (CDN $50,000) and Two Million (2,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the “Firelake Shares”), to be paid by Company to Fire Lake as follows: CDN $25,000 on or before January 31, 2012; CDN $25,000 on or before January 31, 2013; and delivery of the Fire Lake Shares on or before January 31, 2012. Additionally, upon commencement of commercial production of the Eric and Huffman Property, the Company will pay to Fire Lake a royalty equal to two percent (2%) of all net smelter returns on minerals from the Property.    CDN $50,000 is approximately USD $52,220 and CDN $25,000 is approximately USD $26,102.

On February 7, 2012, the Company entered into and closed a mineral property acquisition agreement (the “Original Agreement”), as amended and restated on February 13, 2012 (the “Amended Agreement”), with Shining Tree Resources Corp. (“Shining Tree”), pursuant to which Shining Tree agreed to sell to Company an undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in and to certain mineral interests found on that certain Elijah Property located in the Townships of Churchill and Asquith, Ontario, Canada (the “Conveyed Property”). As consideration for the sale of the Conveyed Property, the Company agreed to deliver the following to Shining Tree in the manner set forth below:

1)

USD $50,270 ($50,000 CDN) according to the following schedule:

(a)

(b)

USD $10,054 ($15,000 CDN) due on March 30, 2012;

(c)

2)

21

3)

Upon completion of payment for the Conveyed Property in the aggregate amount of USD $50,270 ($50,000 CDN) of Expenditures on the Conveyed Property, Shining Tree will issue to Company 1,000,000 common shares of Shining Tree on or before July 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an exploration stage company focused on developing our business in the mineral exploration sector.  Our principal business objective for the next twelve (12) months will be to continue to develop our business plan in this sector.

As of May 1, 2012, we had cash on hand of $7,175.20 and current liabilities of $134,860.92.  We do not have sufficient capital to operate our business and will require additional funding to sustain operations through December 2012.  There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve revenues sufficient to become profitable.

We have incurred losses since inception and our ability to continue as a going-concern depends upon our ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing.  We are actively targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of our operations. In order for us to meet our liabilities as they come due and to continue our operations, we are solely dependent upon our ability to generate such financing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations.

Net cash used in operating activities.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $265,285 compared with $79,961 used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of exploration, administrative, legal and audit fees. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily the result of exploration expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $40,636 compared with $40 used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of acquisition of mineral rights. The cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily the result of acquisition of mineral rights.

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $151,645 compared with $64,428 provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The cash flow provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily derived from issuance of shares. The cash flow provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily derived from shareholder advances.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

We did not earn any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or March 31, 2011.  We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties.  We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q due to limited accounting and reporting personnel, inadequate accounting policies and procedures, and a lack of segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our company.  We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures prior to commencement of material operations. Consistent therewith, on an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.
