NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

(unaudited)

JUNE 30, 2008

 

1.

HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

 

Silverwing Systems Corporation (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on September 1, 1998. On June 23, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Advertain On-Line Canada Inc. (“Advertain Canada”), a Canadian company operating in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company changed its name to Advertain On-Line Inc. (“Advertain”) on August 19, 1999. Advertain Canada’s business was the operation of a web site, “Advertain.com”, whose primary purpose was to distribute entertainment advertising on the Internet.

 

In May 2001, the Company, being unable to continue its funding of Advertain Canada’s operations, decided to abandon its interest in Advertain Canada. On June 15, 2001, the Company sold its investment in Advertain Canada back to Advertain Canada’s original shareholder. On June 18, 2001, the Company changed its name from Advertain to RetinaPharma International, Inc. (“RetinaPharma”) and became inactive.

 

In 2003, the Company became a resource exploration company. On October 31, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Xtra-Gold Resources, Inc.(“XGRI”).

GOING CONCERN

 

The Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its resource properties incurred a loss of $237,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, it still has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $5,349,510. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management of the Company (“Management”) is of the opinion that sufficient financing will be obtained from external financing and further share issuances to meet the Company’s obligations. At June 30, 2008, the Company has working capital of $3,078,718.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s SB-2 Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed May 5, 2008, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.

 

FASB Staff Position 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) delayed the effective date of FAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, and utilized the one year deferral for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that was granted by FSP FAS 157-2. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of FAS 161 and has not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Kwabeng and Pameng Projects

 

The Company holds two mining leases in Ghana. These mining leases grant the Company surface and mining rights to produce gold in the leased areas until July 26, 2019. All gold production will be subject to a 3% production royalty of the net smelter returns (“NSR”).

 

Apapam, Banso and Muoso Projects

 

The Company holds prospecting licenses on its Apapam, Banso and Muoso Projects in Ghana. These licenses grant the Company the right to conduct exploratory work to determine whether there are mineable reserves of gold or diamonds in the licensed areas, are for two years and are renewable. If mineable reserves of gold or diamonds are discovered, the Company will have the first option to acquire a mining lease.

 

Option agreement on Edum Banso Project

 

In October, 2005, XG Exploration entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Adom Mining Limited (“Adom”) to acquire 100% of Adom’s right, title and interest in and to a prospecting license on the Edum Banso concession (the “Edum Banso Project”) located in Ghana. Adom further granted XG Exploration the right to explore, develop, mine and sell mineral products from this concession. The Option Agreement has a five year term.

 

The consideration paid was $15,000 with additional payments of $5,000 to be paid on the anniversary date of the Option Agreement in each year during the term. Upon the commencement of gold production, an additional $200,000 is to be paid, unless proven and probable reserves are less than 2,000,000 ounces, in which case the payment shall be reduced to $100,000. Upon successful transfer of title from Adom to XG Exploration, a production royalty (the “Royalty”) of 2% of the net smelter returns shall be paid to Adom; provided, however that in the event that less than 2,000,000 ounces of proven and probable reserves are discovered, then the Royalty shall be 1%. The Royalty can be purchased by XG Exploration for $2,000,000; which will be reduced to $1,000,000 if proven and probable reserves are less than 2,000,000 ounces.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial conditions and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to our consolidated financial statements and other information presented elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements set out herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and as contained elsewhere in this Report. Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Xtra-Gold Resources Corp. (hereinafter in this Report referred to as “Xtra-Gold”, the “company” or the “Registrant”) a gold exploration company engaged in the exploration of gold properties in the Republic of Ghana, West Africa. Our mining portfolio currently consists of 246.84 square kilometers (also referred to herein as “sq km”) comprised of 51.67 sq km for our Banso Project, 55.65 sq km for our Muoso Project, 33.65 sq km for our Apapam Project, 44.76 sq km for our Kwabeng Project, 40.51 sq km for our Pameng Project and 20.60 sq km for our Edum Banso Project, or 60,969 acres, pursuant to the leased and licensed areas set forth in our respective mining leases, prospecting licenses and/or option agreement.

 

Our strategic plan is, with respect to our gold projects: (i) to define potential reserves on our exploration projects; (ii) to mine the mineralized material, where possible, to generate cash proceeds to assist funding of our exploration programs; and (iii) to acquire further interests in gold mineralized projects and oil and gas prospects that fall within the criteria of providing a geological basis for development of drilling initiatives that can enhance shareholder value by demonstrating potential to define reserves.

 

We anticipate that our ongoing efforts, subject to adequate funding being available, will continue to be focused on the exploration and development of our properties and completing acquisitions in strategic areas.

 

Our ability to continue to expand land acquisitions and drilling opportunities during the next 12 months is dependent on adequate capital resources being available. Assuming that we will be able to continue to derive cash proceeds from the sale of the gold recovered from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project, we intend to continue to advance operations at our Kwabeng Project, recover gold for sale and acquire further interests in mineral projects by way of acquisition or joint venture participation.

 

We anticipate that, over the next 12 months, we will spend an aggregate of $7,700,000 comprised of $5,000,000 for mining operating, capital and administrative costs at our Kwabeng Project, $1,500,000 for exploration expenses and $1,200,000 for general and administrative expenses. However, we would not expend this amount unless we are able to derive cash proceeds from the sale of the gold recovered from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project.

 

We require additional capital to implement our plan of operations. We anticipate that these funds primarily will be raised through equity and debt financing or from other available sources of financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, it may result in the dilution in the equity ownership of investors in our common stock. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available upon acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to take advantage of prospective new opportunities or acquisitions, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations, or we may be forced to discontinue our current projects.

 

We do not expect to purchase significant ore processing and gold recovery equipment as our Wash Plant has sufficient capacity to handle our processing requirements at our Kwabeng Project. We rent our earthmoving and ancillary earthmoving equipment fleet in connection with our ongoing operations at our Kwabeng Project. We plan to increase the number of key mining personnel including technical consultants, contractors and skilled laborers during the next 12 months. Our current business strategy is that we plan to continue engaging technical personnel under contract where possible as Management believes that this strategy, at its current level of development, provides the best services available in the circumstances, leads to lower overall costs, and provides the best flexibility for our business operations.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

 

Our loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $290,261 as compared to a loss of $864,496 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an improvement of $574,235. We incurred expenses of $3,183,370 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2,028,208 in the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1,155,162. The significant increase in expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2008 can be primarily attributed to exploration costs of $2,671,240 (2007- $1,478,928), incurred mostly in connection with (i) operational costs and costs associated with the recovery of gold from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project; and (ii) exploration expenditures relating to the exploration programs at our Banso and Muoso Project, our Apapam Project and our Edum Banso Project.

 

Our loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 can be attributed to (i) a decrease in general and administrative costs (2008 - $484,824; 2007 - $535,559); (ii) an increase in net cash proceeds of $2,767,441 derived from the sale of 3,145.78 fine ounces of gold recovered from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project as compared to $734,321 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

Other items totaled a gain of $2,945,414 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a gain of $1,163,712 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In particular, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recovered and sold 3,145.78 fine ounces of gold from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project and booked $2,767,441 as Recovery of Gold as compared to Recovery of Gold for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of 1,151.60 ounces for cash proceeds of $734,321. We had a foreign exchange loss of $77,544 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a gain of $234,604 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 which can be attributed to the performance of the US dollar.

 

Our portfolio of marketable securities had an unrealized gain of $212,140 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to an unrealized gain of $165,454 in 2007. Additionally, our securities portfolio realized a loss of $15,061 on the sale of trading securities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a loss in 2007 of $19,009. Other income derived from dividends increased (2008 - $96,665; 2007 - $86,874). Interest expense is largely attributable to our convertible debentures which was essentially flat (June 2008 - $38,227; 2007 - $38,532).

 

Our basic and diluted income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.01 compared to a loss of $0.03 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 29,485,282 at June 30, 2008 compared to 28,088,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding can be attributed to the issuance of (i) 1,062,000 shares in connection with a Regulation S private placement completed in February 2008; (ii) 100,000 shares in connection with the exercise of options in May 2008; and (iii) the issuance of 650,000 shares in connection with the automatic conversion of convertible debentures in June 2008.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, our principal source of funds is our available resources of cash and cash equivalents and investments, as well as debt and equity financings. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we received net cash proceeds of $2,767,441 derived from the sale of gold recovered from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project. Additionally, we completed a private placement of 1,062,000 units for net proceeds of $1,467,960 and received $75,000 with respect to an exercise of options as set out elsewhere in this Report.

 

Unrealized Gain on Trading Securities Held for Sale

 

Unrealized gain on trading securities held for sale represents the change in securities as of the end of the financial reporting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized an unrealized gain of $212,140 on trading securities held for sale, as compared to an unrealized gain of $165,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Trading securities were comprised mostly of investments in common shares and income trust units of resource companies.

Liquidity Discussion

 

Net cash during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was provided by (i) financing activities of $1,467,960 (2007 - $nil); (ii) exercise of options of $75,000 (2007 - $nil); and (iii) warrant exercise proceeds of $37,500 (2007 - $nil).

 

As of June 30, 2008, we had working capital of $3,078,718, comprised of current assets of $3,839,648 less current liabilities of $760,930. Our current assets were comprised mostly of $1,259,367 in cash and cash equivalents and $2,451,503 in trading securities, which is based on our analysis of the ready saleable nature of the securities including an existing market for the securities, the lack of any restrictions for resale of the securities and sufficient active volume of trading in the securities. Our trading securities are held in our investment portfolio with an established brokerage in Canada in which we primarily invest in the common shares and income trust fund units of publicly traded resource companies.

 

As we have received limited cash proceeds from the recovery of gold from our mineralized material since inception, we have historically relied on equity and debt financings to finance our ongoing operations. Existing working capital, and possible debt instruments, anticipated warrant exercises, further private placements and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next year. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private equity financings and a convertible debt financing. In connection with our business plan, Management anticipates operating expenses and capital expenditures as follows: (i) $1,500,000 for exploration; (ii) $5,000,000 for mine operating, capital and administration costs at our Kwabeng Project; and (iii) $1,200,000 for general and administrative costs.

 

Absent deriving cash proceeds from the sale of gold recovered from the mineralized material at our Kwabeng Project in future financial periods or raising additional financing, we estimate that we will be able to continue operations for approximately 12 months. Until we achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital for our exploration programs. We intend to finance these expenses with our cash proceeds and, to the extent that our cash proceeds are not sufficient, then from further sales of our equity securities or debt securities, or from investment income. Thereafter, we may need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities or existing agreements and projects which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

 

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph expressing doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern”, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Recent Capital Raising Transactions

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash flows from financing activities were $1,542,960 (2007 - $nil). These funds were raised through the sale of common stock, net of financing costs.

 

In February 2008, we received gross proceeds of $1,593,000 in connection with a private equity financing whereby we sold units comprised of 1,062,000 shares of our common stock and 1,062,000 warrants at an exercise price of $2.25 per share expiring one year from the earlier of the posting of our shares on an over-the-counter bulletin board service and the listing of our shares on a recognized stock exchange. The securities were sold to 13 non U.S. persons, and the transaction was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(2) and Rule 506 thereunder and Regulation S. We paid a finder’s fee of $125,040 for introduction to the purchasers and issued 84,960 finder’s warrants enabling the holder to acquire up to 84,960 shares of our common stock on the same terms as the unit warrants.

 

In May 2008, we received gross proceeds of $75,000 in connection with an exercise of 100,000 options at $0.75 per share.

With respect to the Kwabeng, Pameng and Apapam Projects, upon and following the commencement of gold production, a royalty of 3% of the net smelter returns is payable quarterly to the Government of Ghana.

 

With respect to the Edum Banso Project:

(b)

Repayment of Convertible Debentures and Accrued Interest

 

We are committed to repay our Convertible Debenture holders outstanding amounts of principal and interest calculated at 7% per annum on an aggregate face value of $900,000. Interest only payments are payable quarterly on the last days of September, December, March and June in each year of the term or until such time that the principal has been repaid in the full. The Convertible Debenture holders are entitled, at their option, to convert, at any time and from time to time, until payment in full of their respective Convertible Debentures, all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debenture, plus the Accrued Interest, into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of our common stock at the conversion price of $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Provided there is a registration statement then in effect covering the Conversion Shares, or the Conversion Shares may otherwise be resold pursuant to Rule 144, the outstanding principal amount of each Convertible Debenture, and all accrued but unpaid interest, shall automatically be converted into shares of our common stock, at the Conversion Price, in the event that our common stock trade for 20 consecutive trading days (a) with a closing bid price of at least $1.50 per share and (b) a cumulative trading volume during such twenty (20) trading day period of at least 1,000,000 shares. As we met the foregoing criteria for the automatic conversion of the Convertible Debentures, an aggregate of 650,000 shares were issued thereby reducing the principal owing under the Convertible Debentures to $250,000.

(c)

Further Material Commitments

 

Further material commitments are subject to new funding arrangements to be obtained or agreements not yet formalized.

 

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We rent our earthmoving and ancillary earthmoving equipment fleet in connection with our ongoing operations at our Kwabeng Project.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Significant Accounting Applications

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Xtra-Gold in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s SB-2 Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed May 5, 2008, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.

 

FASB Staff Position 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”) delayed the effective date of FAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, and utilized the one year deferral for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that was granted by FSP FAS 157-2. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

- 6 -



In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. Our company is currently reviewing the provisions of FAS 161 and has not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, we do not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on our consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.
