Notes to Financial Statements

For the Period Inception (July 10, 2009) to March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

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 five mineral properties, the Kenty Property in Ontario Canada, the Garrett Property in Ontario, Canada, and the Elijah Property in Shining Tree Ontario, Canada, The Mortimer Property in Ontario, Canada and the Coppell Property in Ontario, Canada, as defined in note 3. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven mineral properties contain mineral reserves, which are economically recoverable.

The Company’s financial statements are expressed in United States dollars.

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 $588,124 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and a working capital deficit of $1,219,328. 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. Mineral Properties

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:

Cash consideration of $50,000 to be paid in two equal installments of $25,000 on January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013.

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

Royalty of 2% of all net smelter returns upon commencement of commercial production at the property.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company paid $6,000 of the balance due on the Garrett Property.

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 $30,000 of exploration work before October 2013 and $32,800 of exploration work before November 2013.

(b) Elijah Property

On February 13, 2012, the Company finalized a mineral property acquisition agreement with Shining Tree Resources Corp. (“Shining Tree”), 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. In exchange for the interest in the property, the Company will:

Pay cash consideration of $50,000 according to an installment schedule between February and July 2012;

Issue 333,333 shares of common stock to Shining Tree; and

Complete exploration expenditures having a value of $200,000 on the conveyed property before February 10, 2014. Upon completion of payment for the conveyed property in the aggregate amount of $50,000 and of exploration expenditures on the conveyed property, Shining Tree will issue to the Company 1,000,000 common shares of Shining Tree common stock, on or before July 30, 2012.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company paid $10,000 of the balance due on the Elijah Property and the 333,333 common shares have yet to be issued.

The Elijah Property consists of four unpatented mining claims (38 units - approximately 1,520 acres) in Asquith and Churchill Townships, Larder Lake Mining District, Ontario, Canada. The property lies approximately 3 kilometers northeast of the hamlet of Shining Tree.

(c) Kenty Property

On October 4, 2012, the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement with Brian McClay, pursuant to which McClay agreed to sell to the Company a 100% interest in certain mineral interests found on the Kenty Property located in the Townships of Swayze and Dore, Ontario, Canada.

As consideration for the sale of the McClay conveyed property, the Company agreed to pay:

Cash consideration of $1,500,000 to be paid according to an installment schedule between October 4, 2012 and April 4, 2015;

Equity consideration of 1,700,000 shares of common stock to be issued according to an installment schedule between October 4, 2012 and April 4, 2015; and

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

In addition, the Company has also agreed to the following conditional payments in respect of its purchase of the property:

Upon completion of a NI 43-101 compliant report with indicated reserves of 1,000,000 troy ounces of gold on the property, the Company shall pay $1,000,000 to McClay.

Upon production of 1,000,000 troy ounces of gold property, the Company shall pay $1,000,000 to McClay.

Upon production of 3,000,000 troy ounces of gold property, the Company shall pay $2,000,000 to McClay.

Upon production of 5,000,000 troy ounces of gold property, the Company shall pay $2,000,000 to McClay.

Company shall have the option of early buyout within one year of execution for a cash payment of $750,000 and 750,000 common shares of Company.

The Kenty Property consists of a contiguous block of 16 patented mining claims. The patent mining claims making up the Kenty Gold Property require payment of annual taxes. However, there is no expiration date nor is there a work requirement in order to maintain these claims in good standing.

(d) Mortimer Property

On February 11, 2013, the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement with Red Pine Exploration Inc., under which the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain mineral interests found contiguous to the Kenty Property (the “Mortimer Claims”). The area of the Kenty Property Mortimer Claims is approximately 35,859 acres or approximately 14,512 hectares and consists of 907 mining claim units. As consideration for the sale of the Mortimer Claims, the Company agreed to:

Payment of $25,000 in cash on the closing date and a further $100,000 on March 15, 2013;

Issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock on March 15, 2013, with an implied value of $100,000, and subject to a top-up provision for issuance of additional shares if the market value is below the implied value on July 15, 2013;

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 266,667 warrants in connection with its private placements of common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $0.30 to $0.60 per share for a term of one year from the issue date.

The warrants described above were not included in the calculation of loss per share as they would have been antidilutive.

f) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company incurred stock-based compensation expense in connection with its compensation agreements for its directors, management, and employees. Under these agreements, common stock may be issued as a signing bonus or at certain benchmark dates within an individual’s period of service. Stock-based compensation is calculated as the fair value of the stock issued or to be issued to an individual and is recorded at the time the stock becomes owing to the individual. Stock issued to a director, manager, or employee is deferred in the event that their contract requires the individual to remain employed with the Company for a specified time period after issuance. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 2,576,825 shares of common stock and a further 323,110 shares became issuable in the year in connection with stock-based compensation arrangements. These shares were valued at amounts ranging from $0.28 to $0.30 per share and resulted in management fees expenses of $165,989 and consulting fees expenses of $284,081. Of these expenses, $331,978 resulted from a reduction of deferred stock based compensation.

7. Related Party Transactions

The following transactions with related parties were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange value which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 2,576,825 shares of common stock as compensation to directors and officers of the Company. As of March 31, 2013 an additional 323,110 shares of common stock are due to be issued to directors and officers of the Company. Stock-based compensation of $474,386 was recorded in relation to these shares, and is presented within management fees and consulting fees on the statement of operations.

8. Financial Instruments

Fair Values

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, sales tax receivable, notes receivable, subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, advances from stockholders, 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. The Company’s only financial instruments carried at fair value on the balance sheet is cash, which is classified at Level 1 and is measured using quoted market prices. Furthermore, there were no transfers of financial instruments between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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. The Company does not have any cash in excess of federally insured limits. Sales taxes receivable are due from the Canadian government and notes receivable are due from stockholders with whom the Company also has advances payable. Subscriptions receivable are collateralized by the shares for which the subscriptions are paid.

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.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that fluctuations in the market prices of minerals will impact the Company’s future cash flows. The Company is exposed to market risk on the price of gold, which will determine its ability to build and achieve profitable 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.

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, Mineral Property Acquisitions, 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.

Carson Property

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, had considered a phased exploration of the Carson Property upon attainment of sufficient capital and began preparing an exploration budget based on this recommendation.

However, the Company subsequently determined that it was not in its economic interest to move forward under the 2214098 Acquisition Agreement after evaluating the claims underlying the Property. On December 13, 2012, the Company entered into a Mineral Property Acquisition Termination Agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with 2214098, pursuant to which the 2214098 Acquisition Agreement was terminated. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Termination Agreement, the Company agreed to surrender and return the Carson Property to 2214098 and neither Company nor 2214098 shall have any further liability for performance or payment of any kind under the 2214098 Acquisition Agreement. The termination has not given rise to any penalties against the Company.

Garrett Property (formerly known as the Eric and Huffman Property)

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,” now known as the “Garrett 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 Garrett 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 $48,841 and CDN $25,000 is approximately USD $24,420.

Lucas Property (formerly known as the Elijah Property)

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 (now known as the “Lucas 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:

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 20 2013, we had cash on hand of $1,325 and current liabilities of $1,319,000. We do not have sufficient capital to operate our business and will require additional funding to sustain operations through December 2013. 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 provided by (used in) operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $146,948 compared with $249,088 used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013, to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

We did not earn any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and March 31, 2012. 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.

Management Fees. Management fees increased to $189,989 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $29,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to increased activity.

Consulting Fees. Consulting fees increased to $316,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $87,216 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in consulting fees was primarily attributable to increased activity.

Exploration Expenses. Exploration expenses decreased to $27,108 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $79,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in exploration expenses was due to decreased activity due to lack of funds.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $37,360 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $20,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily related to increased activity.

Professional Fees. Professional fees decreased to $9,073 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $57,371 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to decreased activity due to lack of funds.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $7,551 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $4,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increase in advances from shareholders.

Depreciation. Depreciation expenses neither increased nor decreased from $336 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $336 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Net Income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $588,124 as compared to a net loss of $307,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in net loss was primarily a result of increased activity.

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.
