Exploration
Stage Company
|
Gemco
Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on August
21, 1997 and is an Exploration Stage Company. The Company’s principal business
is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not
presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are
economically recoverable.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has
generated minimal revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and
is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or
foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is
dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the
ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue
operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation
of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of
the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of
profitable operations. As at November 30, 2009, the Company has a working
capital deficit of $831,605 and has accumulated losses of $3,394,046 since
inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
a)
|
Basis
of Presentation and Consolidation
|
These
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
and are expressed in US dollars. These condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary,
Firstline Recovery Systems Inc. (“Firstline”), a company incorporated in the
Province of British Columbia, Canada, on June 1, 1998 and its subsidiary EKG
Minerals Inc. (“EKG”) a company incorporated in the Province of British
Columbia, Canada, on October 8, 2004. All intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is May 31.
b)
|
Basis
of Presentation
|
In the
opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim
statements of income, cash flows, and stockholders' equity include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair
presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Preparing financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may
differ from management's estimates and assumptions.
Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The
information included in this Form l0-Q should be read in conjunction with
information included in the Form I0-K.

Summary

c)
|
Use
of Estimates
|
The
preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly
evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated expenses, and deferred
income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on
current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the
accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and
adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material
differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of
operations will be affected.
d)
|
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
|
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or
less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
e)
|
Basic
and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per
Share
|
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share and requires presentation of both
basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options,
using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the
if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the
period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from
the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive
potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
f)
|
Financial
Instruments
|
The fair
values of cash, investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due
to shareholders and amounts due to related parties, approximate their carrying
values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial
instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken
in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s
operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree
of volatility to these rates. Currently, the Company does not use
derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency
risk.
g)
|
Foreign
Currency Transactions/Balances
|
The
Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar. The consolidated
financial statements of the Company are translated to United States dollars.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses
arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated
transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign
currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company
has not, to the date of these condensed consolidated financials statements,
entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.
The
functional currency of the wholly owned subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The
financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars
using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates
of exchange for the year for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses)
are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of
stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included
in current operations.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Principles
(continued)
|
h)
|
Mineral
Property Costs
|
The
Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of
mineral properties.
Mineral
property acquisition costs are capitalized when management has determined that
probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows
have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are
expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition
and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral
property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for
capitalization are not met. In the event that mineral property
acquisition costs are paid with Company shares, those shares are valued at
market at the time the shares are due. Mineral property exploration
costs are expensed as incurred.
When
mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition
payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future
payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made
or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. Because option
payments do not meet the definition of tangible property, all option payments
are expensed as incurred.
When it
has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a
result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre feasibility, the
costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.
Estimated
future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over
the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs,
which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are
estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual
expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge
is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and
depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are
charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
i)
|
Long-Lived
Assets
|
When
accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company
tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not
limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant
adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs
significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or
construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined
with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the
use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than
not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful
life.
Recoverability
is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which
is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected
to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as
specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when
the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Income
Taxes
|
Potential
benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until
realization is more likely than not. The Company is required to compute tax
asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of
net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements
because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize
the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Stock-based
Compensation
|
Prior to
January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the
recognition and measurement provisions using the intrinsic value method of
accounting, under which compensation expense was only recognized if the exercise
price of the Company’s employee stock options was less than the market price of
the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions, using the modified
retrospective transition method. The Company has not issued any stock options or
share based payments since its inception. Accordingly, there was no effect on
the Company’s reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a
result of adopting the fair value recognition provisions.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements

June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). The provisions of
SFAS 166, in part, amend the derecognition guidance in FASB Statement No. 140,
eliminate the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose
entities and require additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for financial
asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year
that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions
of SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R) (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends the consolidation guidance applicable to
variable interest entities. The provisions of SFAS 167 significantly affect the
overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS 167 is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2009. SFAS 167 will be effective for the Company beginning in 2010.
The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 167 to have a material effect
on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
In June
2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant
and Division of Corporation Finance announced the release of Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 112. This staff accounting bulletin amends or rescinds
portions of the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin
Series in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with
current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Specifically, the staff is updating
the Series in order to bring existing guidance into conformity with recent
pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, namely, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations,
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The statements in staff
accounting bulletins are not rules or interpretations of the Commission, nor are
they published as bearing the Commission's official approval. They represent
interpretations and practices followed by the Division of Corporation Finance
and the Office of the Chief Accountant in administering the disclosure
requirements of the Federal securities laws.

In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP
FAS 132(R)-1 requires additional fair value disclosures about employers’ pension
and postretirement benefit plan assets consistent with guidance contained in
SFAS 157. Specifically, employers will be required to disclose
information about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value
of each major category of plan assets and information about the inputs and
valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of plan assets.
This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1
will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operation.
In
September 2008, the FASB issued exposure drafts that eliminate qualifying
special purpose entities from the guidance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities,” and FASB Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003),
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities − an
interpretation of ARB No. 51,” as well as other
modifications. While the proposed revised pronouncements have not
been finalized and the proposals are subject to further public comment, the
Company anticipates the changes will not have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements. The changes would be effective March
1, 2010, on a prospective basis.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities, (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the
computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per
Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is
prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe
that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our condensed consolidated
financial position and results of operations if adopted.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide
enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a
material impact on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding
the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in
developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular,
the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use
the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient
information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107
was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about
employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or
other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to
companies.
Therefore,
the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the
simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff
understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may
not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will
continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified
method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified
method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the
impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have
an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

shares were recorded at par value of $0.001 for a value of $2,500, which

Restated
Financial Statements (continued)
|
(a)
|
The
Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended May 31,
2009, in conjunction with the PCAOB revocation of the registration of its
prior auditor. The Company had its financials re-audited, during which it
re-evaluated its impairment assessment of its investment, mineral claims
and equipment assets in concurrence with its new audit firm. As a result,
the Company determined that the investment should be written down further
than the original impairment, to an impaired value of $nil, resulting in
an additional impairment charge of $75,000. Management also
determined that the equipment was obsolete with no future economic benefit
to the Company, and impaired it for the net book value of $41,295, and
that its mineral claims required impairment and were written down in the
amount of $99,273. Correspondingly, in the Statement of Operations,
writedown expenses were recorded for the investment, equipment and mineral
claims impairments totaling $215,568. On review with the
auditors it was also determined not to writedown the liabilities for
statute barred notes payable at this time, and they were reinstated in the
amount of $47,822. Minor adjustments resulted from the above
adjustments, which netted $851 to comprehensive loss in the Statement of
Cash Flows. The above adjustments concurrently affected
balances from the date of inception August 21, 1997 through to May 31,
2009 by the same amounts as denoted in the table below. The following is a

Langley, BC, V3A 3Y6. Our telephone number is 866-848-2940.
Our
Current Business
Mining
– Precious Metals
We are
engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the Province
of British Columbia. Our primary focus is the exploration of our
Burns Group Property, located 45 miles east of Quesnel, British
Columbia. Our plan of operations is to carry out mineral exploration
activities at the Burns Group property as advised by a combination of
professional recommendations located in historical documents as well as recent
recommendations made in Gemco Minerals Inc. most recently published NI43-101
technical report for the property dated December 15, 2007.
We are an
exploration stage company and all of our properties are presently in the
exploration stage. To date, we do not have any commercially viable
reserves on any of our properties. There is no assurance that a
commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral
properties.
Further
exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and
legal feasibility of mining of any of our properties is
determined. There is no assurance that further exploration will
result in a final evaluation that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists
on any of our mineral properties.
2
Burns
Group
We
continue to expand our Burns Group property by acquiring strategically located
mineral claims adjacent to our existing property. The most recent
acquisition occurred in May and June 2006 when Gemco acquired an additional
2,792 acres (1,129 hectares) of mineral tenure to bring the Burns Group property
to a total of 12,685 contiguous acres (5,134 hectares).
The
Company first commenced its work program on the Burns Group property in June
2006. Trenching, geochemistry and SP geophysical surveys were
conducted over soil anomalies near Oregon Gulch. Dip needle and SP
geophysical surveys combined with general reconnaissance exploration in the
vicinity of the Perkins Showing and Perkins Gulch were also
reported. Assessment reports for the 2006 season were submitted to
the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources by Angelique Justason and
Brad Davies.
Robert
“Ned” Reid, PGeo, and Angelique Justason published Gemco Minerals Inc. NI43-101
technical report titled “Summary of Mineral Exploration Activities at the Mount
Burns Claim Group” dated December 15, 2007. On the recommendations of
the NI43-101 technical report, Gemco will be conducting a trenching program to
define previously outlined geochemical and geophysical anomalies at the Foster’s
East and Mount Burns grids. Advanced exploration activities, such as
drilling, are also planned for the near future while reconnaissance work
continues peripheral to the known showings.
In the
2007 and 2008 seasons, Gemco contracted Tenorex GeoServices to begin the
expansion of the Burns Grid adjacent several surface workings and the historical
Perkins showing where, in 1902, 10 tonnes of rock was processed and produced 311
grams gold as described in Gemco’s NI43-101 report published in December
2007. 2.4 line kilometers (Lkm) of self-potential geophysical surveys
were conducted over a portion of the 9.0 Lkm of new grid (south of the 2002
grid) in an effort to locate an extension of the known mineralization: an
assessment report outlining the findings and subsequent recommendations was
submitted to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
In March
2009, Tenorex GeoServices also conducted a reconnaissance beep mat geophysical
survey on over 50 line kilometers of snow packed trails across the
property. Prospective conductive targets were mapped and a
preliminary technical report is currently being compiled and will be submitted
to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
An
internal report was also made by Tenorex GeoServices summarizing the
professional recommendations of various geologists working on the property from
2000 through to 2007 in an effort to define a strategic and focused field
program for the Burns Group Gold Property. With this report and the
recommendations presented within the NI43-101 technical report an aggressive and
detailed exploration program was outlined, and includes the
following:

Detailed
research and the compilation of archived historical reports and maps are also
ongoing. The research continues to significantly advance the
knowledge and value of the Burns Group gold/silver property.
On May
15, 2009, the Company received its permit MX 11-143 approval #09-1101731-0515 to
carry out the above noted exploration activities on the Burns property Fosters
east grid adjacent to the Oregon Gultch to extend the grid, with 400m trenching,
SP geophysics, advanced geological surveying and mapping and geochem for
additional lab analysis. The Company’s annual assessment fees for the 5,134
hectare Burns property are $8 per hectare per annum. Gemco has always performed
work programs in excess of the annual $41,072, as summarized above and in detail
in its 43-101 technical report. All of Gemco’s mineral tenures with the British
Columbia Mineral Titles Branch are in status of good standing.
Placer
Leases
Gemco
also has 100% interest in two placer properties in the Cariboo region: namely
the Hawk LPM (lease of placer minerals) located four kilometers from Barkerville
and the Joytown LPM which is located near the headwaters of Cunningham
Creek. The Company has not carried out nor planned any exploration
work on these properties and they were written down to $Nil value at May 31,
2009.
Mexico
Placer Property
In May
2006, Gemco entered into a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Mexican
registered Canamex Corporation. Canamex has been in the precious
metal extraction research industry over the last twelve
years. Gemco’s initial joint venture with Canamex involved testing on
a 250 hectare placer claim for its industrial minerals and gold
values. The property has access and foreshore rights to the Pacific
Ocean and is located on the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.
In
January 2007, Canamex assigned its interest to two additional placer claims in
the Ensenada region of Baja California in the Exchange for 3% of the net sales
of all industrial minerals extracted and a 3% net smelter royalty. As further
consideration, 300,000 common shares were issued and held in trust, which are to
be released upon verifying the claims can be brought to a commercially viable
and completion of legal assignment of property rights. These
properties consist of over 600 hectares, are approximately 27 kms in length of a
dry arroyo with varying widths and several meters in
depth. Preliminary testing showed estimates of a potential recovery
of 5 million tonnes of alluvial magnetite and ilmenite mineral
product.
In June
2007, the Company mandated Mr. Jaime Noguera Perez of Estero Servicios
Ambientales Engineering (Estero) to conduct a works program to collect, review
and evaluate existing geological information, conduct all field work, geological
mapping, sourcing all information on applicable regulations and requirements for
permits to extract up to 300,000 tons of material the first year of operation
and up to two million tons per year thereafter. In August 2007, the
Company received a progress report from Estero indicating that all field work
has been completed and Estero began preparing an executive report for submission
to the Mining office in Mexico City for final approval and attainment of permits
to undertake mining operations. Gemco incorporated a wholly owned
subsidiary in Mexico, named Black Stone Industries S.A. de C.V., which will
carry out all future business activities on behalf of Gemco in
Mexico.
4
The
Company has expended over $82,000 to date on its Mexico property for costs
including; the environmental study, management of the claims, attainment of
permits, consulting and regulatory fees. Canamex recently advised it has
received the mining permits from the mining office to extract 300,000 tons of
material the first year, and two million tons every year thereafter. On final
verification, all permits and licenses will be assigned over to Black Stone
Industries, and Gemco will release the 300,000 shares from trust. Further, upon
Black Stone Industries receiving the final mining permits and 100% control of
the Claims a balance of $20,000 will be paid to Canamex for additional costs
incurred. On consummation of the above, the Company plans to engage an
independent firm to prepare an in-depth 43-101 technical report to meet
standards and requirements for raising capital.
Natural
Mineral Products
The
Company continues in the business development for the magnetite natural mineral
product trade named “Eco-Blast”, as well as its Ilmenite “Talon Blast Abrasive”
mineral product. These are environmentally safe products used in the industrial
abrasive industry as outlined further below. Recent environmental regulations
throughout North America have restricted the use of traditional abrasives like
silica-sand and some slags. This is particularly true in the blast cleaning
(sand blasting) market where 5 million tons of abrasives are used each year.
Magnetite and Ilmenite have emerged as less health damaging and more
environmentally friendly alternatives to the traditional non-recyclable
abrasives. The specific particle size of natural magnetite product performs
optimally in blast cleaning applications and can be
recycled. ECO-Blast and Talon Blast Abrasive are the branded blast
abrasives of the Company using magnetite and Ilmenite blends.
Tests
have shown these products to be effective replacements for more traditional
blast mediums in terms of cost and performance and significantly superior in
terms of environmental impact and recyclability. Powertech Labs Inc. conducted
an analysis on the magnetite product, which approved the product for use by the
BC Ministry of Environment and Parks. A number of comparison demonstration tests
were also conducted by Ross-Rex Industries Inc. using Talon blast and
competitive/alternative products and the results have been very positive as
posted on Gemco’s website.
Our
wholly owned subsidiary, Firstline Recovery Systems Inc. was handling business
development for the magnetite natural mineral product trade named Eco-Blast
and/or Talon Blast, an environmentally safe product used in the industrial
abrasive industry as outlined above. Although Firstline previously entered into
an exclusive supply agreement with Teichert and Son Inc., a California
corporation doing business as Teichert Aggregates, and an agreement for sale
with R.A. Temple Inc. (Temple), a California corporation, these contracts
recently lapsed due to Firstline’s inability to obtain the required CARB product
approval, negotiate with a U.S. company for a site on which to locate the drying
and bagging facility and to arrange sufficient financing to carry out the
project. Therefore, Gemco has recently undertaken to negotiate new agreements on
similar terms with both Teichert and Temple. Commitments have been attained with
both companies and Gemco is coordinating to complete the new agreements within
the first four months of the fiscal year.
The
exclusive supply agreement with Teichert, originally announced May 27, 2008,
pertains to the exclusive distribution rights of the minerals known as
Ilmenite and Magnetite. Teichert produces Ilmenite and Magnetite as a
by-product from its aggregate mining operations, and currently has an estimated
25,000 tons stored on-site in Central California.
5
These
rights allow the Company to distribute and sell this product as a blast
medium in the industrial abrasive industry in both Western U.S. and Canada. The
Term of the Agreement is for a period of 5 years with an option for an
additional 5 years, if agreeable by both parties. As part of the
Agreement, the Company is required to purchase a minimum tonnage per contract
year in order to maintain fixed pricing terms.
The
effective commencement date of production is dependent on the Company first
obtaining California Air Regulation Board (CARB) approval for the use of these
products as a blast medium and then establishing a drying, screening and bagging
plant at a nearby location. In conjunction with Teichert, the Company
has initiated the CARB test and the Company’s management is negotiating with a
U.S. company for a site on which to locate the drying and bagging
facility.
The
agreement for sale with Temple, originally announced December 2, 2008,pertains
to the sale of ilmenite and magnetite industrial minerals (the Product) with
R.A. Temple Inc. (Temple), a California corporation. The Product is to be
sourced from the Company’s location in Sacramento, California, under its
Exclusive Supply Agreement with Teichert and will be sold under the Company’s
Black Talon brand name.
Under the
Agreement Temple may purchase up to 7,000 tons of ilmenite and magnetite per
annum, from the commencement date, on a pre-determined pricing framework for a
period of five years. The commencement date of the first shipment was originally
scheduled for no later April 1, 2009, and Gemco has subsequently attained
extensions from Temple to contractually extend the first shipment date to no
later than April 1, 2010.
Temple
has supplied both blast abrasives and equipment to the metal finishing and
water-jet cutting industry in the western region of the United States for over
28 years. As part of the Agreement, the Company also grants Temple exclusive
distributorship for the Product in the State of Nevada and Northern
California.
On August
4, 2009, the Company entered into an equipment sales agreement with Tash
Industrial Design Inc., whereby Tash has designed, and is manufacturing a sand
drying/screening plant for the purpose of drying and bagging the Black Talon
sand blasting medium. The machine is planned for delivery and installment and
initial operation in Sacramento in early 2010. To house the machinery and
process the minerals, the Company has leased a commercial building in Sacramento
California for which lease payments of $6,720 per month begin in the fourth
fiscal quarter, on March 1, 2010. The Company has occupancy of the building
effective January 1, 2010 to prepare for the required utilities and installation
of the equipment.

Results
of Operations - Gemco Minerals Inc.
Six
Months Ended November 30, 2009
During
the six months ended November 30, 2009 the Company recorded an operating loss of
$144,542 as compared to an operating loss of $109,438 for the six months ended
November 30, 2008, and recorded a net loss after other items of $212,379 for the
six months ended November 30, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $140,303 for
the six months ended November 30, 2008. This is an increase in operating loss of
$35,104 and an increase in the net loss of $72,076. The net loss represents
$0.01 per common share. The Company incurred $144,542 in operating expenses
which consist mainly of: mineral property costs of $51,719 (2008 - $19,099),
management and consulting fees of $38,249 (2008 - $66,000), investor relations
and finder fees of $25,243 (2008 - $9,750) and professional fees of $16,120
(2008 - $7,188). The Company also recorded other items totaling
$67,838 for the six months ended November 30, 2009, which is an increase of
$36,973 compared to the $30,865 in other items for the six months ended November
30, 2008. These other items for the period ended November 30, 2009
included interest and bank charges of $66,157, and also included $1,680 for a
loss on investment and $28,469 for the interest generated on the mortgage
investment, with a corresponding writedown for impairment, as described in Note
4 of the financial statements.
The
Company has not yet generated any revenues from its Mineral Exploration Program.
Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage and conduct mining operations
is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity
financing
As of
November 30, 2009, Gemco had total liabilities of $1,181,423, which is an
increase of $328,998 as compared to $852,426 liabilities recorded at May 31,
2009. The increase in liabilities is due primarily to issuance of a long-term
note payable in July 2009 and additional amounts loaned from shareholders. The
Company’s current liabilities increased by $104,144 over the prior year end and
consist of $32,093 in accounts payable, $37,628 due to related parties, $103,607
due to shareholders and $783,243 in notes payable, of which $500,013 are due to
related parties. The Company issued a two year promissory note in July 2009 and
now has a long-term liability in the amount of $224,854.
The
Company's current assets at November 30, 2009, consisted of $4,413 in cash which
increased by $3,510 from $903 as at May 31, 2009, as well as note receivable of
$5,449 and deposits in the amount of $115,103 for payments made on manufacture
of industrial mineral processing equipment. Total assets as of November 30, 2009
were $145,770 with investments of $20,805 as disclosed in Note 5 of the
financial statements.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company’s assets are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The total
assets at November 30, 2009 were $145,770. The Company had a working capital
deficiency of $831,605 at November 30, 2009 compared to a working capital
deficiency of $846,074 as of May 31, 2009. The reduction in the working capital
deficiency is due primarily to the issuance of a long-term note payable, less
the draw down payments on the equipment manufacture as discussed above, and
general operating expenses. The Company’s cash inflow has been generated mainly
from shareholder loans, related party and long-term loans and subscription of
common stock with minimal revenues and government incentive programs since
inception.
Management
continually reviews its overall capital and funding needs to ensure that the
capital base can support the estimated needs of the business. These reviews take
into account current business needs as well as the Company’s future capital
requirements. Based upon these reviews, to take advantage of strong market
conditions and to fully implement our expansion strategy, management believes
that the Company will continue to increase our net capital through the proceeds
from sales of our securities. The Company currently maintains minimal cash
balances and is funded by management and shareholder loans to satisfy monthly
cash requirements in the interim of raising external funding.
The
Company cannot currently meet its cash requirements without, future sale of
shares or its current management and/or advances or loans from controlling
shareholders or corporate officers to provide sufficient working capital to
preserve the integrity of the corporate entity during the development phase.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding
through the sales of additional shares or, that such funding, if available, will
be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company. It is the intent
of management and controlling shareholders to generate sufficient working
capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate
entity.
Forward-Looking
Statements
From time
to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to such
matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological
developments, new products, research and development activities and similar
matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe
harbor for forward looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the
safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause a deviation
or divergence from the anticipated results or expectations contained in the
forward looking statements and the Company's actual results. The risks and
uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and
results of the Company's business include but are not limited to the following:
lack of operating capital, revenue and capital resources; reliance upon joint
venture members to provide technical and financial expertise to operations; the
ability of the Company to access an economically viable energy deposit; the
ability of the Company to recover natural resources, if found, and to deliver
them to a refiner or distributor in an economically viable manner.
8
Risks
and Uncertainties
Mining -
The Company is engaged in mineral exploration and development, which involves a
high degree of risk, and few properties are ultimately developed into producing
mines. There is no assurance that the Company’s future exploration and
development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of
ore. Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of
factors including the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade
and proximity to infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government
regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land
tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental
protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted,
but the combination of these factors may result in a mineral deposit being
unprofitable.
Cash
Flows and Funding - The Company periodically requires equity financing to
maintain its working capital position. There is no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain financing, as required, in the future.
Environmental
and Permitting - Mineral exploration and development is subject to extensive
regulation concerning environmental protection and there is no assurance the
Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals in order to
carry out its exploration activities.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a
smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities
Exchange
Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this
item.
Item
4. Controls and procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we
necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2009 and concluded that
the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because certain
deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses as
discussed below. The material weaknesses identified resulted in the restatement
of the previously reported financial statements and other related financial
disclosure.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because
of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting
officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded
that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective due to some
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As of November
30, 2009, the following material weaknesses existed:
1.
|
The
Control Environment: We did not maintain effective entity-level controls
as defined by the framework issued by COSO. Specifically, we did not
sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting
throughout the organization and did not effectively segregate certain
accounting duties due to the small size of our accounting staff, and
maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to
maintain an internal audit function or anticipate and identify risks
critical to financial reporting.
|
2.
|
Information
and Communication: We did not maintain effective communication and
documentation of financial reporting policies and procedures to ensure the
flow of information within the organization and with external parties, and
to ensure appropriate systems were in place and configuring of certain
transactions were properly processed and
disclosed.
|
In order
to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, all
financial reports are reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer, who has limited
system access. In addition, meetings are held with the Board of
Directors and the Audit Committee. If at any time we determine a new
control can be implemented to mitigate these risks at a reasonable cost, it is
implemented as soon as possible.
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 temporary rules of the SEC that permit the
Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended November 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are
reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
10
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including our
principal executive and financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure
controls and procedures or our internal control will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been
detected.

Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
The
Company is currently named as a defendant or Respondent in two related legal
proceedings.
On the
15th of April, 2008 an action was commenced by a shareholder of Akal Forest
Products Ltd. against a group of defendants, including Gemco Minerals Inc. In
that action the plaintiff alleges that Gemco Minerals Inc. entered into a
non-arms length transaction with Hunter Corey Babcock, an officer and director
of Akal Forest Products Ltd. pursuant to which transaction Gemco sold to Babcock
a number of shares in Gemco Minerals Inc. That sale was secured by a mortgage
and assignment of rents against Lands owned by Akal Forest Products
Ltd.
Counsel
has been retained and a statement of defense has been filed by Gemco Minerals
Inc. denying that Gemco Minerals Inc. was anything other than a bona fide purchaser for value
in that transaction.
On or
about April 28, 2008 an interlocutory order, without notice, was granted by the
Supreme Court of British Columbia restraining both Mr. Babcock and Gemco from
transferring, mortgaging, or hypothecating any of the shares issued by Gemco to
Mr. Babcock in relation the aforementioned mortgage and assignment of
rents.
On the
22nd of July 2008, the first mortgage holder of the Akal Forest Products Ltd.
Lands commenced a foreclosure proceeding in the Supreme Court of B.C. against
Akal Forest Products Ltd. In that action Gemco Minerals Inc. is named as a third
mortgage holder and Respondent in relation to the mortgage and assignment of
rents granted by Akal Forest Products Ltd. as security for the Babcock purchase
of Gemco shares. Counsel has been retained to protect the interests of Gemco in
relation to its charges on the Akal Lands.
The
Company’s mortgage was due on demand as of February 5, 2009, and is now in
default. The Company has taken legal action and was awarded a court ordered
conduct of sale by the Kamloops Supreme Court, whereby the Company will proceed
with listing and disposing the property to the benefit of all secured on the
property.
During
the course of the listing, many proposals were discussed and although there were
no written offers, a build-to-suit program was being negotiated with a potential
tenant. However, the first mortgage holder subsequently petitioned the court for
Conduct of Sale and was awarded the Conduct of Sale to obtain an unconditional
offer. The first mortgage holder is proceeding to list the property for
sale.

guarantors. The Company retains the voting rights of the security shares
so long as they are in escrow.
