Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

   

BE Resources Inc. (the "Company”) was incorporated on August 8, 2007 under the laws of the State of Colorado, United States for the purpose of acquiring certain mineral interests and all operations from Great Western Exploration, LLC (“GWE”) and further exploring and if warranted, developing those interests.

   

The Company is engaged in the business of the acquisition and development of mineral properties believed to be prospective for minerals such as Beryllium and other elements in the State of New Mexico, United States. To date, the Company has not earned revenue and its operations have been limited to general administrative operations, obtaining initial capital, initial property staking and exploration, and is considered an Exploration Stage Company in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 915.

   

The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements, increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts and political uncertainty.

   

These 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 an accumulated deficit of $13,549,279 as at March 31, 2011 and a net loss of $1,572,251 and negative net cash flows from operating activities of $1,629,404 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. 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. These 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. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   

These financial statements are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at March 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

   

Accounting Principles Recently Adopted

   

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

   

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force". ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update do not expand the recurring disclosures required by Topic 718. Disclosures currently required under Topic 718 are applicable to a share-based payment award, including the nature and the term of share-based payment arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. In accordance with ASU 2010-13, the Company has recorded a cumulative adjustment of $846,300 to eliminate the stock option and warrant liability.

   
 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered financial instruments whose carrying value approximates fair value based on their short term nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings per Share

The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

   

Future Accounting Pronouncements

   

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Reclamation Bonds

     

The Company made a deposit in the amount of $25,863 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, for the drilling permit for its Warm Springs Beryllium Property in New Mexico, U.S.A. As at March 31, 2011, the Company has four reclamation bonds totaling $117,913. These bonds are held with the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("USDA") and the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resource Department, Mining and Minerals Division ("MMD") and are required before any surface disturbing activity can commence. The bonds will be released following satisfactory completion of reclamation of any disturbance resulting from operations at the site.

Commitments and Contingencies

     

Environmental Considerations

     

The exploration for and development of resource properties involves the extraction, production and transportation of materials, which under certain conditions, can be hazardous or cause environmental pollution problems. The Company is continually taking action it believes appropriate to satisfy applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and does not currently anticipate that compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations will have a material adverse effect upon capital expenditures, results of operations, financial condition or the competitive position of the Company in the mineral resource industry. However, due to the significant public and governmental interest in environmental matters related to those activities, the Company cannot predict the effects of possible future legislation, rule changes, or governmental or private claims.

     

Employment Agreement

     

Pursuant to an amended employment agreement dated January 1, 2011, in the event of certain circumstances, the Company would be obligated to pay the employee an amount equal to twelve times the employee’s current monthly base salary of $3,000 (note 6(a)).

     

Property Maintenance Costs

     

The Company is required to incur property maintenance costs for its mineral rights. These costs are currently estimated at $171,000 for each year and include the following items:

     
(i)

Annual fees of $140 per claim per year to maintain federal mining claims; and

(ii)

Annual lease payments for state leases and the minimum annual royalty of $12,000 for the lease regarding the Sullivan property.

      5,950,000     5,200,000              

As at March 31, 2011, the weighted average exercise price of the outstanding options is $0.30 (Cdn$0.29) . As at March 31, 2011, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options is 1.84 years.

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is amortized over the related service period of the underlying options. This model requires management to make estimates of the expected volatility of its common shares, the expected term of the option to exercise, the expected future forfeiture rate, and future interest rates. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bond rate. The Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the immediate future. As historical volatility of the Company’s common shares is not available, expected volatility is based on the historical performance of the common shares of other corporations with similar operations. The expected life of the stock options was estimated using management’s best estimate based on a study of the exercise activities of historical trends and future expectations.

Stock options - continued

     

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company granted 40,000 options, valued at $36,997, to a consultant at an exercise price of $0.40 that expire on January 17, 2013. The options vested immediately. The weighted average grant date fair value of these options was $0.275 per share. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value are as follows: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 162.31%; risk free interest rate of 1.79%; and expected term of 2 years.

     

In accordance with ASU 2010-13, the Company has recorded a cumulative adjustment of $846,300 to eliminate the stock option and warrant liability.

Related Party Transactions

     
(a)

Pursuant to an amended employment agreement dated January 1, 2011, the Company paid an officer who is also a director of the Company, a salary of $9,000 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $9,000) and an expense allowance of $45,000 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $6,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2011, these amounts are included in management and consulting fees in the statement of operations.

     
(b)

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred fees for accounting services rendered of $8,806 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $8,092) charged by a corporation controlled by an officer of the Company and consulting fees of $6,000 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $6,000) charged by this officer. These amounts are included in professional fees in the statement of operations. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred fees for corporate secretarial services rendered of $3,872 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $1,636) charged by a corporation of which an officer of the Company is also an officer. Included in accounts payable as at March 31, 2011 is $17,120 (December 31, 2010 - $12,295) owing to this corporation, $1,463 (December 31, 2010 - $1,455) owing to the corporation of which this officer is also an officer. These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing with no fixed terms of repayment.

     

The above transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

     
7.

Financial Instruments

     

Credit Risk

     

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Cash deposits with a major Canadian chartered bank are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation up to Cdn$100,000. Cash deposits with a major U.S. bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. As at March 31, 2011, the Company held Cdn$1,146,976 (December 31, 2010 - Cdn$2,854,705) with the major Canadian chartered bank and $85,024 (December 31, 2010 - $27,297) with the major U.S. bank.

     

Foreign Exchange Risk

     

Certain of the Company's expenses were incurred in Canadian currency and are therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in this currency. As at March 31, 2011, the Company held cash of $1,035,742 (US$1,068,265) denominated in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2010 - Cdn$2,821,419 (US$2,836,655)) had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $74,024 (US$76,348) denominated in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2010 - Cdn$153,876 (US$154,707)).

     

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. The Company’s risk management objectives are to ensure that business and financial exposures to risk that have been identified and measured are minimized using the most effective and efficient methods to reduce, transfer and, when possible, eliminate such exposures. Operating decisions contemplate associated risks and management strives to structure proposed transactions to avoid or reduce risk whenever possible.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Introduction

The following discussion updates our plan of operation as of May 13, 2011.  It also analyzes our financial condition at March 31, 2011 and compares it to our financial condition at December 31, 2010. The discussion also summarizes the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and compares each period’s results to the results of the comparable prior period. The discussion in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in this report as well as the management's discussion and analysis and audited financial statements included in our annual report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Plan of Operation

We plan to continue drilling on the Warm Springs property. We also intend to provide the required financial assurance which we believe will result in issuance of the permit at our Iron Mountain property. We then intend to commence drilling on that property. Assuming that this initial exploration confirms that a second phase of follow-up diamond core drilling is warranted, our two year program contemplates the drilling of a total of 50 additional holes at Warm Springs and the outlying hydrothermal areas. As we commence our drilling program, we expect to incur significant additional expenses for drilling, and less in consulting fees.

As at May 13, 2011, we had approximately $690,000 funds available to spend over the next year. We anticipate to spend the funds as follows: $350,000 for drilling and compliance; $12,000 for lease maintenance; and $328,000 for other working capital items (includes management and consulting fees and other corporate overheads).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2011, we had working capital of $894,875, consisting of current assets of $1,310,590 and current liabilities of $415,715. Our working capital at March 31, 2011 represents a decrease in our working capital of $714,817 from December 31, 2010. The decrease represents cash spent on operations, including consulting, professional and permitting fees and an increase in our stock option and warrant liability.

Substantially all of our current assets at March 31, 2011 consisted of cash and prepaid expenses and other receivables. Our current liabilities at March 31, 2011 consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Our longer term ability to carry out our business plan is dependent on our ability to achieve profitable operations or to obtain additional financing. Due to the fact that we are an exploration stage company, have no established source of revenue and are dependent on receipt of additional financing, our independent accountants have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of May 13, 2011, we estimate, based on the cash on hand at that time, that we have sufficient funding to continue our operations until December 2011, following which we expect to solicit additional financing. Our outstanding warrants and outstanding exercisable stock options may provide some additional capital. If all those warrants and stock options are exercised, of which there is no assurance, we would obtain additional proceeds of $1,900,245. As at May 13, 2011, the exercise price of the options and warrants is more than the market price of our stock, suggesting that it is not likely that either the warrants or options will be exercised.

We have financed all of our operations since inception through the sale of common stock and warrants and expect that to be the case for the foreseeable future.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our cash decreased by $1,629,404 which is a result of the cash used in operations.

- 15 -


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operation or business.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we realized a net loss of $1,572,251 (March 31, 2010: $175,977) or $0.03 per share (March 31, 2010: $0.01 per share), and no revenue. During the 2011 period there were increases/decreases in drilling, geological consulting fees, management and consulting fees, professional fees, licenses and permits and stock-based compensation. Each of these items is analyzed in more detail immediately below:

  • Drilling for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $620,381 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $nil). The increase of $620,381 can be attributed to continued drilling on the Warm Spring Beryllium Project during the three months ended March 31, 2011 while no drilling had commenced in the three months ended March 31, 2010;

  • Geological consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $519,063 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $172,560). The increase of $346,503 can be attributed to focused exploration work conducted on our property during the three months ended March 31, 2011 while during the three months ended March 31, 2010 exploration work was limited as permits were not received;

  • Management and consulting fees increased by $82,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparative period in 2010, primarily due to the revision of the Chief Executive Officer’s office allowance which took effect in late 2010;

  • The increase of $221,799 in stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was mainly due to the vesting of unvested stock options over the service period. The Company expenses the options over the service period which can create variances from one period to another.

  • Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $54,047 (three months ended March 31, 2010 - $97,513). The decrease of $43,466 can be attributed to legal services required to acquire permits during the three months ended March 31, 2010 while in the 2011 comparative period less services were required for general corporate activity;

  • Licenses and permits for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $118,683(three months ended March 31, 2010 - ($140)). The increase of $118,778 is attributable to payment for mining claims during the three months ended March 31, 2011 while in the 2010 comparative period no such payments were made.

We expect to incur losses until such time, if ever, we identify commercial amounts of mineralized material and successfully extract such material for sale to third parties.

Please see “Plan of Operation” above for a description of costs and expenses that we expect to incur during the remainder of 2011.

Accounting Principles Recently Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force". ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update do not expand the recurring disclosures required by Topic 718. Disclosures currently required under Topic 718 are applicable to a share-based payment award, including the nature and the term of share-based payment arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company has assessed the impact of this accounting update and reclassified the stock option liability relating to the 2.2 million stock options with exercise price denominated in Canadian dollars to equity.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others:

  • statements concerning our expectations about exploration results;

  • statements concerning the benefits that we expect will result from our business activities and certain transactions that we contemplate or have completed, such as receipt of proceeds, decreased expenses and avoided expenses and expenditures; and

  • statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.

These statements may be made expressly in this document or may be incorporated by reference to other documents that we will file with the SEC. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions used in this report or incorporated by reference in this report.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied in those statements. Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Further, the information contained in this document or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is based on present facts and assumptions, and may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions.

Risk Factors Impacting Forward-Looking Statements

The important factors that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals and objectives include, in addition to the risk factors identified elsewhere in this report, the following:

  • The success of our exploration program;
  • Unexpected changes in business and economic conditions;
