REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Yukon Gold
Corporation, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. as at April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders deficiency for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from incorporation to April 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. as at April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from incorporation to April 30, 2010 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage mining company and has no established source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding these matters are also described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(Amounts expressed in US Dollars) |
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned Canadian operating subsidiary, Yukon Gold Corp. (YGC). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has no source for operating revenue and expects to incur significant expenses before establishing operating revenue. Because of continuing operating losses, negative working capital, stockholders deficiency and cash outflows from operations, the Companys continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. In the event that the Company is unable to raise additional capital, as to which there is no assurance, the Company will not be able to continue doing business. Further, the Company subsidiary has a court order to pay a penalty for $118,269 (CDN $120,138) for early termination of its office lease. The prior landlord had made the said claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Companys future success is dependent upon its continued ability to raise sufficient capital, not only to maintain its operating expenses, but to explore for reserves. There is no guarantee that such capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operation.
The Company is actively pursuing equity and short-term bridge loan financing, which may include financing backed by a pledge of some or all of the Companys exploration property assets. The Company also is simultaneously exploring opportunities to effect business combinations or joint ventures involving additional mining assets that may provide opportunities for greater long-term financing.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally acceptable accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
3. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property payments are initially capitalized in accordance with the ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced as EITF 04-2 when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment at each fiscal quarter end. The Company has determined that all property payments are impaired and accordingly has written off the acquisition costs to project expense.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from such estimates. Significant estimates include accruals, valuation allowance and estimates for calculation of stock based compensation.
b) Cash
Cash includes amounts due from banks The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments.
c) Financial Instruments
The fair market value of the Companys financial instruments comprising cash, loan from director, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and obligations under capital leases were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.
FASB defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Commodity Price Risk: The ability of the Company to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals.
Foreign Exchange Risk:
The Company conducts most of its operating activities in Canadian dollars. The Company is therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in Canadian currency relative to the US dollar.
d) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant, and Equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided commencing in the month following acquisition using the following annual rate and method:

Office Equipment | 20% | declining balance method |
Mining Equipment | 30% | declining balance method |
Computer Software | 30% | declining balance method |
e) Operating and Capital Leases
Costs associated with operating leases are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets acquired via capital leases are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives. An offsetting liability is established to reflect the future obligation under capital leases. This liability is reduced by the future principal payments.
f) Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys operating subsidiary is a foreign private company and maintains its books and records in Canadian dollars (the functional currency). The subsidiarys financial statements are converted to US dollars for consolidation purposes. The translation method used is the current rate method, where the functional currency is the foreign currency. Under the current rate method all assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, stockholders equity accounts are translated at historical rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year.
Due to the fact that items in the financial statements are being translated at different rates according to their nature, a translation adjustment is created. This translation adjustment has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
g) Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement 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.
h) Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policies are expected to follow common practice in the mining industry. Revenue is recognized when concentrate or dore bars, in the case of precious metals, is produced in a mill processing ore from one or more mines. The only condition for recognition of revenue in these instances is the production of the dore or concentrate. In order to get the ore to a concentrate stage the ore must be mined and transported to a mill where it is crushed and ground. The ground product is then processed by gravity separation and/or flotation to produce a concentrate. In some circumstances chemical treatment is used to extract the precious metals from the concentrate into a solution. This solution is then subjected to various processes to precipitate the precious metals back to a solid state that can be melted down and poured into a mould to produce a dore bar (a combination of gold and silver).

i) Comprehensive Income
The Company reports comprehensive income or loss in its consolidated financial statements. In addition to items included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments.
j) Long-Lived Assets
The Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. At April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009, the Company recognized impairment of $nil and $88,069 respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was $11,315 and $33,769 respectively.
k) Acquisition, Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property payments are initially capitalized in accordance with the ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced as EITF 04-2 when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. The Company has determined that all property payments are impaired and accordingly has written off the acquisition costs to project expense.
l) Stock Based Compensation
All awards granted to employees and non-employees after October 31, 2005 are valued at fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees using the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. As of April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009, there was $ nil and $5,869 of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted. The total stock-based compensation expense relating to all employees and non employees for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was $5,869 and $31,858 respectively.
m) Earnings or Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net 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 common equivalent shares outstanding at April 30, 2010 and 2009 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At April 30, 2010, there were 664,000 options from the 2003 Stock Option Plan and 637,500 options from the 2006 Stock Option Plan and 500,000 warrants outstanding. At April 30, 2009, there were 1,566,000 options from the 2003 Stock Option Plan and 1,487,500 options from the 2006 Stock Option Plan and 4,913,141 warrants outstanding.

n) Flow-Through Financing
The Company has financed a portion of its exploration activities through the issue of flow-through shares, which transfer the Canadian tax deductibility of exploration expenditure to the investor. Proceeds received from the issuance of such shares are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A liability is recognized for the difference. Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration and development activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with the income tax legislation in Canada. On such renunciation, a deferred tax liability is created and the liability recognized at issuance reversed. The Company recognized the benefit of tax losses to offset the deferred tax liability resulting in an income tax recovery.
o) Recent Pronouncements
FASB ASC TOPIC 805 Business Combinations. The objective of this topic is to enhance the information that an entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. The Topic mandates: (i) how the acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (ii) what information to disclose in its financial reports and; (iii) recognition and measurement criteria for goodwill acquired. This Topic is effective for any acquisitions made on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 810 Noncontrolling Interests. The objective of this Topic is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; (iii) changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; (iv) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment and; (v) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This Topic 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 Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years. This Topic requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures
FASB ASC TOPIC 944 Financial Services Insurance. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred. This Topic requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTD
FASB ASC TOPIC 855 - Subsequent Events. In May 2009, the FASB issued Topic 855, which establish general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Topic sets forth : (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This Topic should be applied to the accounting and disclosure of subsequent events. This Topic does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable accounting standards that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. This Topic was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which was October 31, 2009 for the Company. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 105 - The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 105, which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Topic, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Topic identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP and arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic did not have a material impact on the Companys disclosure of the financial statements.
FASB ASC TOPIC 320 - Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. In April 2009, the FASB issued Topic 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This Topic does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The Topic is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This Topic does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this Topic requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 860 - Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. In June 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under Topic 860 which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This additional guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferors beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferors continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This additional guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This additional guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTD
FASB ASC TOPIC 810 - Consolidation of Variables Interest and Special Purpose Entities. In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 810, which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (ii) The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. This Topic requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both. This Topic is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 820 - Fair Value measurement and Disclosures, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 82010, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entitys measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investors ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitment, and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that hold an investment that is required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or non recurring basis and, as of the reporting entitys measurement date, if the investment meets certain criteria The amendments in this Update are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 740 - Income Taxes, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to address the need for additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the guidance and disclosure amendments are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.

On August 26, 2009, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), announced the de-listing of the Companys common shares, effective at the close of the market on September 25, 2009. The decision was based upon the Companys failure to meet multiple listing requirements of TSX. On November 2, 2009 the Companys common shares began trading on the NEX exchange. Effective at the close of business on April 7, 2010, and in accordance with NEX Policy, section 15, the common shares of Yukon Gold were delisted from NEX, for failure to pay their NEX Listing Maintenance Fee. The Company continues to trade on OTCBB. We run the risk of being de-listed on all exchanges in which our stock currently trades.
2. |
WE MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL MINERAL PROPERTIES TO SECURE FINANCNG AND REMAIN VIABLE. |
Yukon Gold must immediately secure additional financing to remain viable. Management of Yukon Gold believes that we must identify and purchase new mineral properties in order to obtain such financing.
1
3. |
WE DO NOT HAVE AN OPERATING BUSINESS. |
Yukon Gold has rights in certain mineral claims located in Yukon, Canada. To date we have done limited exploration of the property covered by our mineral claims. We do not have a mine or a mining business of any kind. There is no assurance that we will develop an operating business in the future.
4. |
WE HAVE NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECT TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF WE ARE ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT ALL. |
Currently, we have no source of revenue, we do not have working capital to complete our exploration programs (including feasibility studies) and we do not have any commitments to obtain additional financing. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
-
our ability to raise the capital necessary to conduct this exploration and preserve our interest in these mineral claims;
-
our ability to raise capital to develop the Marg Property, establish a mining operation, and operate this mine in a profitable manner; and.
-
our ability to raise capital to purchase additional properties that may make our business more attractive to investors in exploration stage mining companies.
Failure to raise the necessary capital to continue exploration and development could cause us to go out of business.
5. |
GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION. |
The Company has included a going concern qualification in the Consolidated Financial Statements to the effect that we are an exploration stage company and have no established sources of revenue. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital and/or locate mineral resources, as to which in each case there can be no assurance, we may not be able to continue our operations. Further, the Company subsidiary has a court order to pay a penalty of $118,269 (CDN $120,138) for early termination of its office lease. The prior landlord had made the said claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Canada. In addition, the existence of the going concern qualification in our auditors report may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, you may lose all or part of your investment.
6. |
THERE ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES. |
Our common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a result, our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your shares.
7. |
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO CURRENCY RISKS. |
The Company conducts the majority of its business activities in Canadian dollars. Consequently, the Company is subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in Canadian currency relative to the US dollar.

Item 2. Description of Property
The Marg Property
The Marg Property consists of 402 contiguous mineral claims covering approximately 20,000 acres. Access to the claim group is possible either by helicopter, based in Mayo, Yukon Territory, Canada, located approximately 80 km to the southwest or by small aircraft to a small airstrip located near the Marg deposit. A 50 kilometer winter road from Keno City to the property boundary was completed in 1997. The camp site on the property provides accommodation for up to 12 people. Presently the hydroelectric power grid terminates at Keno City some 50km to the southwest and water is available from the Keno Ladue River, which flows through the property.
The rock formations of the Marg property and the immediate area are divided into four major units which are repeated by southeast dipping thrust faults. The two major faults are the Tombstone Thrust and the Robert Service Thrust. One thrust panel contains the Marg Zone mineralization. Within the thrust panel he rocks within the thrust sheets appear to be tabular. The thrust panel containing the Marg Zone is composed of repeated sequences of quartzite, quartz-sericite phyllite and black graphite phyllite. The quartz-sericite phyllite is probably metamorphosed equivalents of volcanic rocks and metasedimentary rocks. The graphite phyllite is the metamorphosed equivalent of a black shale.
Our claims, held in the name of our wholly owned subsidiary Yukon Gold Corp, are registered in the Mining Recorders Office in the Mayo Mining District of the Yukon Territory and give us the right to explore and mine minerals from the property covered by the claims. These claims are tabulated below:

In March of 2005, our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, YGC, acquired from Medallion Capital Corp. (Medallion) all of Medallion's rights to purchase and develop the Marg Property which consists of 402 contiguous mineral claims covering approximately 20,000 acres located in the central area of Yukon, Canada. The price paid by the Company was Medallion's cost to acquire the interest. Medallion is owned and controlled by a former director of the Company, Stafford Kelley. The rights acquired by YGC arise under a Property Purchase Agreement between Medallion and Atna Resources Ltd. (Atna), hereinafter referred to as the Marg Acquisition Agreement. Under the terms of the Marg Acquisition Agreement the Company paid $119,189 (CDN$150,000) cash and 133,333 common shares as a down payment.

(Atna) entered into a letter agreement (the Amendment Agreement) amending the purchase agreement by which the Company acquired its Marg Property (the Marg Acquisition Agreement). Under the terms of the Marg Acquisition Agreement the Company was required to pay to Atna $167,645 (CDN$200,000) (in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on December 12, 2008. In lieu of making such payment, the Amendment Agreement permitted the Company to pay Atna $19,980 (CDN$25,000) in cash on December 12, 2008 (paid) and $188,600 (CDN$225,000) (payable in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on April 30, 2009. On April 30, 2009, the Company issued to Atna 6,838,906 common shares which represent $188,600 (CDN$225,000), whereby the common shares were valued at $0.0276 (CDN $0.0329) each. Upon the commencement of commercial production at the Marg Property, the Company will pay to Atna $838,223 (CDN$1,000,000) in cash and/or common shares of the Company, or some combination thereof to be determined.
Our expenditures for exploration on the Marg Property are as follows: On May 16, 2006 the Company accepted a proposed work program, budget and cash call schedule for the Marg Property totaling $1,674,866 (CDN$1,872,500) for the 2006 Work Program.

On August 31, 2007 the Company re-allocated $537,864 (CDN$508,120), being the balance of the third cash call payment for the Mount Hinton 2007 Work Program from cash call funds previously allocated to the Marg Project. These re-allocated funds were not needed for the Marg Project. As of January 23, 2008, unused funds of $388,524 (CDN$390,000) were refunded by our work program manager to the Company.
Exploration at Marg Property
The Marg property has had an extensive exploration history with numerous owners and work programs. The area was first staked in 1965 to follow-up anomalous results in a government stream sediment survey. The initial exploration was directed towards finding silver bearing veins but when none were discovered the claims were allowed to lapse. In 1982 the ground was re-staked by a consortium looking for SEDEX style lead-zinc mineralization and this resulted in the discovery of the Marg mineralization. In the following years, exploration consisted of geochemical and geophysical surveying, geological mapping, hand trenching and diamond drilling which progressively expanded the limits of the known mineralization. This work was done by various companies who entered into agreements to explore the ground or relinquish their interests. To date a total of 34,203 meters of diamond drilling has been performed on the Marg property.
Yukon Gold started its exploration efforts in 2005 when 1,184.6 meters were drilled in four holes. Exploration continued in 2006 and 2007 when nine holes totaling 2,986 meters and 3,307 were drilled respectively. The programs were managed by Archer Cathro & Associates (1981) and were designed to test the down-dip extent of the mineralization. During 2008 the company completed 3,674 meters of drilling in ten holes. There was no drilling during 2009 and 2010.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
On October 28, 2003, we adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the "2003 Plan") under which our officers, directors, consultants, advisors and employees may receive stock options. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2003 Plan is 5,000,000. Options granted under the 2003 Plan were either "incentive stock options", intended to qualify as such under the provisions of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time amended (the "Code") or "unqualified stock options". The 2003 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.
On May 23, 2005, Yukon Gold filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC pursuant to which it registered 3,300,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan. On February 10, 2006 the board of directors adopted a policy of not accepting promissory notes from option holders as payment for the exercise of options.
The Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan at its shareholders meeting on January 19, 2007 (the 2006 Stock Option Plan). The Company cannot issue any further options under the 2003 Plan. The purpose of the 2006 Stock Option Plan is to develop and increase the interest of certain Eligible Participants (as defined below) in the growth and development of the Company by providing them with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the grant of options ("Stock Options") to acquire Shares.
Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Eligible Participants or to any registered savings plan established for the sole benefit of an Eligible Participant or any company which, during the term of an option, is wholly-owned by an Eligible Participant. The term Eligible Participant includes directors, senior officers and employees of the Company or an Affiliated Entity (as defined below) and any person engaged to provide services under a written contract for an initial, renewable or extended period of twelve months or more (a Consultant), other than services provided in relation to a distribution of securities, who spends or will spend a significant amount of time on the business and affairs of the Company and who is knowledgeable about the business and affairs of the Company. An Affiliated Entity means a person or company that is controlled by the Company.
The 2006 Stock Option Plan is administered by the board of directors of the Company. At the option of the board, it may be administered by a committee appointed by the board of directors for that purpose.
Upon adoption in 2006, the aggregate number of Shares which could be issued under the 2006 Stock Option Plan was limited to 2,000,000 Shares, then representing approximately 10.63% of the then currently issued and outstanding Shares. On March 18, 2008 at the 2008 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Option Plan increasing the number of Shares reserved for issuance thereunder from 2,000,000 to 2,899,044, representing approximately 10% of the then issued and outstanding Shares. The 2006 Stock Option Plan was also amended to include a provision requiring shareholder approval for any future increase in the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance thereunder.
9
Any Stock Option granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan which has been exercised shall again be available for subsequent grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, effectively resulting in a re-loading of the number of Shares available for grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
Any Shares subject to an option granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan which for any reason is surrendered, cancelled or terminated or expires without having been exercised shall again be available for subsequent grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
Options shall not be granted for a term exceeding ten years (or such shorter or longer period as is permitted by the TSX) (the Option Period).
On January 19, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved, subject to regulatory approval, the extension of 2,064,000 options held by all current officers, directors, consultants and employees in the 2003 Stock Option Plan and the adding of an additional 2,000,000 common shares of stock to the 2006 Stock Option Plan. On March 18, 2008 at the 2008 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Option Plan increasing the number of Shares reserved for issuance thereunder from 2,000,000 to 2,899,044, representing approximately 10% of the then issued and outstanding Shares.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
This section should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report.
Discussion of Operations & Financial Condition Twelve months ended April 30, 2010
Yukon Gold has no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we remain in an exploration stage and perhaps thereafter. As at April 30, 2010, we had accumulated losses of $15,442,034. These losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage and conduct mining operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity financing.
As described in greater detail below, the Companys major endeavor over the year has been its effort to raise additional capital to meet its administrative expenses and pursue its exploration activities. The Company does not currently have any working capital to continue as a reporting company in the United States and Canada. We are working urgently working to obtain additional financing, which may entail the acquisition of additional properties in order to attract such financing.

The total assets for the year ended April 30, 2009 includes cash and cash equivalents for $9,349, prepaid and other receivables for $64,852 and capital assets for $33,898.
Revenues
No revenue was generated by the Companys operations during the years ended April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009.
Net Loss
The Companys expenses are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the category of Operating Expenses. To meet the criteria of United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), all exploration and general and administrative costs related to projects are charged to operations in the year incurred.
The significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating expense are discussed as follows:
11
(a) General and Administrative Expense
Included in operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2010 is general and administrative expense of $615,951, as compared with $987,536 for the year ended April 30, 2009. General and administrative expense represents a majority of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2010 and approximately 33% of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2009. General and administrative expense decreased by $371,585 in the current year, compared to the prior year. The decrease in this expense is mainly due to decrease in overall administrative expenses by management and a decrease in stock based compensation expense by $25,989.
Included in the operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2010 (included as general and administration expense) is stock option compensation expense of $5,869 and compensation expense on issue of warrants for $nil, as compared with stock option compensation expense of $31,858 and compensation expense on issue of warrants for $17,813 for the prior year ended April 30, 2009. These amounts have been calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, whereby the fair value of the stock options was determined at the time of grant of stock options to the Companys directors, officers and consultants, and expensed over the vesting term, in terms of the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
(b) Project Expense
Included in operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2010 is project expenses of $18,652 as compared with $1,907,891 for the year ended April 30, 2009. Project expense is a significant expense and it represents approximately 63% of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2009 and only a minor portion of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2010. Project expense decreased by $1,889,239 in the current year, as compared to the prior year. The decrease in this expense is mainly due to the inability of the Company to raise funds for exploration and the Company not incurring any exploration expense on the Mount Hinton Property nor the Marg Property claims. All the exploration expense in the prior year was incurred on the Marg Property. In March of 2005, the Company acquired the rights to purchase 100% of the Marg Property. Under the terms of the Marg Acquisition Agreement the Company was required to pay to Atna $163,066 (CDN$200,000) (in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on December 12, 2008. In lieu of making such payment, the Amendment Agreement permits the Company to pay Atna $19,980 (CDN$25,000) in cash on December 12, 2008 (paid) and $188,600 (CDN$225,000) (payable in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on April 30, 2009. On April 30, 2009, the Company issued to Atna 6,838,906 common shares which represent $188,600 (CDN $225,000), whereby common shares were valued at $0.0276 (CDN $0.0329) each. This cash payment of $19,980 (CDN $25,000) and issue of Common stock valued at $188,600 (CDN $225,000) formed part of the project expenses. During the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company besides incurring exploration expenses on the Marg property, also made an additional payment of $98,697 (CDN $100,000) which formed part of project expenses.
Agreement with Hinton Syndicate Concerning our Former Mount Hinton Property
The following disclosure relates to our former property known as the Mount Hinton property. Our interest in the Mount Hinton property was sold on May 21, 2009.
On July 7, 2002 YGC, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an option agreement with the Hinton Syndicate to acquire a 75% interest in the 273 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 14,000 acres in the Mayo Mining District of Yukon, Canada. This agreement was replaced with a revised and amended agreement (the Hinton Option Agreement) dated July 7, 2005 which superseded the original agreement and amendments thereto. The new agreement was between the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary YGC and the Hinton Syndicate.
The Hinton Option Agreement pertained to an area of interest which included the area within ten kilometres of the outermost boundaries of the 273 mineral claims, which constituted our mineral properties. Either party to the Hinton Option Agreement could stake claims outside the 273 mineral claims, but each must notify the other party if such new claims were within the area of interest. The non-staking party could then elect to have the new claims included within the Hinton Option Agreement. As of December 11, 2006, there were an additional 24 claims staked, known as the Gram Claims which became subject to the Hinton Option Agreement. On May 21, 2009, Gram Claims 1-24 were conveyed by the Companys wholly owned subsidiary to a member of the Hinton Syndicate. On June 16, 2008 an additional 18 claims were staked (#25-#42), known as the Gram Claims, at a cost of $8,679 (CDN$8,887), which became subject to the Hinton Option Agreement. On May 5, 2009 the Company transferred all of its interest in Gram Claims 25-42 to a member of the Hinton Syndicate.
On May 21, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, YGC, sold its interest in the Mount Hinton Property to the Hinton Syndicate. All of the claims comprising the Mount Hinton Property were conveyed by the Companys subsidiary to a member of the Hinton Syndicate.
12
The Hinton Syndicate paid the Company (i) $110,306 (CDN$125,000) on May 21, 2009 and (ii) granted to the Companys subsidiary a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (an NSR) on the Mount Hinton Property claims. Such 2% NSR may be terminated at any time by payment to Yukon Gold of the following:
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold within the 12-month anniversary of the Closing: | $113,211 (CDN$115,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after the 12-month anniversary of the Closing but before the 24-month anniversary of the Closing: | $137,822 (CDN$140,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after the 24-month anniversary of the Closing but before the 36-month anniversary of the Closing: | $162,434 (CDN$165,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after the 36-month anniversary of the Closing but before the 48-month anniversary of the Closing: | $187,045 (CDN$190,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after the 48-month anniversary of the Closing, it shall be increased by $24,611 (CDN$25,000) for each 12-month period following the 49-month anniversary of the Closing |
In addition, Yukon Golds subsidiary assigned its work permit to a member of the Hinton Syndicate and the Hinton Syndicate became responsible for any reclamation costs imposed by the government of Yukon in connection with the work permit. As of May 21, 2009, Yukon Gold and its subsidiary have no further interest or obligations with respect to the Mount Hinton Property.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASC TOPIC 805 Business Combinations. The objective of this topic is to enhance the information that an entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. The Topic mandates: (i) how the acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (ii) what information to disclose in its financial reports and; (iii) recognition and measurement criteria for goodwill acquired. This Topic is effective for any acquisitions made on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 810 Noncontrolling Interests. The objective of this Topic is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; (iii) changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; (iv) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment and; (v) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This Topic 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 Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years. This Topic requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 944 Financial Services Insurance. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred. This Topic requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
18
FASB ASC TOPIC 855 - Subsequent Events. In May 2009, the FASB issued Topic 855, which establish general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Topic sets forth : (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This Topic should be applied to the accounting and disclosure of subsequent events. This Topic does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable accounting standards that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. This Topic was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which was October 31, 2009 for the Company. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 105 - The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 105, which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Topic, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Topic identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP and arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic did not have a material impact on the Companys disclosure of the financial statements.
FASB ASC TOPIC 320 - Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. In April 2009, the FASB issued Topic 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This Topic does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The Topic is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This Topic does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this Topic requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 860 - Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. In June 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under Topic 860 which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This additional guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferors beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferors continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This additional guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This additional guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
19
FASB ASC TOPIC 810 - Consolidation of Variables Interest and Special Purpose Entities. In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 810, which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (ii) The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. This Topic requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both. This Topic is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 820 - Fair Value measurement and Disclosures, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 82010, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entitys measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investors ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitment, and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that hold an investment that is required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or non recurring basis and, as of the reporting entitys measurement date, if the investment meets certain criteria The amendments in this Update are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
FASB ASC TOPIC 740 - Income Taxes, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to address the need for additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the guidance and disclosure amendments are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated Canadian exploration tax credit receivable and accrued liabilities. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. Besides this critical accounting policy on use of estimates, we believe the following critical accounting policy affects the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
20
Acquisition, Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property payments are initially capitalized in accordance with the ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced as EITF 04-2 when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment at each fiscal quarter end. The Company has determined that all property payments are impaired and accordingly has written off the acquisition costs to project expense.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
See the financial statements and report of Schwartz Levitsky Feldman, LLP contained in this report.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended April 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on an evaluation as of the date of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-l5(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
21
The management of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule I3a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
* |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; | |
* |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and | |
* |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce this risk.
In making its assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Inherent in small business is the pervasive problem of segregation of duties. Given that the Company has a small accounting department, segregation of duties cannot be completely accomplished at this time. Management has added compensating controls to effectively reduce and minimize the risk of a material misstatement in the Company's annual or interim financial statements.
Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of April 30, 2010, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Auditor Attestation
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Board has Assumed Responsibilities of Audit Committee
