Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

   

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of BE Resources Inc. (the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below.

   

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

   

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 $14,420,442 as at June 30, 2011 and a net loss of $2,443,414 and negative net cash flows from operating activities of $2,417,513 for the six months ended June 30, 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

   

Accounting Principles Recently Adopted

   

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 with the offset entry recorded, during the beginning of the period for the six months ended June 30, 2011, against deficit accumulated during exploration stage.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   

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, 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.

   

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

   

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under FASB ASC 360-10-35-17, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

   

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 six months ended June 30, 2011, for the drilling permit for its Warm Springs Beryllium Property in New Mexico, U.S.A. As at June 30, 2011, the Company has four reclamation bonds totalling $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.


4.

Commitments and Contingencies

     

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.

  January 17, 2013   40,000     40,000     US $0.40     January 17, 2013  
                           
      5,850,000     5,525,000              

As at June 30, 2011, the weighted average exercise price of the outstanding options is $0.30 (Cdn$0.29) . As at June 30, 2011, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options is 1.60 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 40,000 options, valued at $10,908, to a consultant at an exercise price of $0.40 that expires on January 17, 2013. The options vested immediately. As of June 30, 2011, an additional 500,000 options granted in the prior year, with various exercise prices vesting periods and expiration dates, have vested valued at $41,287 and options valued at $81,583, previously recorded as prepaid expense, have been expensed. 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 as further discussed in Note 2 under “Accounting Principles Recently Adopted”, the Company has recorded a cumulative adjustment of $846,300 to eliminate the stock option and warrant liability.

On September 27, 2010 and October 4, 2010, the Company entered into two Consulting Agreements which required the Company to grant a total of 200,000 stock options, valued at $163,000, for services to be performed over a six month period. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company expensed the remaining prepaid balance of $81,583 as stock based compensation.

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 June 30, 2011, the Company held Cdn$462,563 (December 31, 2010 - Cdn$2,854,705) with the major Canadian chartered bank and $316 (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 June 30, 2011, the Company held cash of $462,958 (US$478,958) denominated in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2010 - Cdn$2,821,419 (US$2,836,655)) had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $22,105 (US$22,919) denominated in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2010 - Cdn$153,876 (US$154,707)).

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 August 12, 2011. It also analyzes our financial condition at June 30, 2011 and compares it to our financial condition at December 31, 2010. The discussion also summarizes the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 August 12, 2011, we had approximately $280,000 funds available to spend over the next year. We anticipate to spend the funds as follows: $150,000 for drilling and compliance; $12,000 for lease maintenance; and $118,000 for other working capital items (includes management and consulting fees and other corporate overheads).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had working capital of $149,312, consisting of current assets of $510,167 and current liabilities of $360,855. Our working capital at June 30, 2011 represents a decrease in our working capital of $1,460,380 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 June 30, 2011 consisted of cash and prepaid expenses and other receivables. Our current liabilities at June 30, 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 August 12, 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 $1,878,613. As at August 12, 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 six months ended June 30, 2011, our cash decreased by $2,417,513 which is a result of the cash used in operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2011 and 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we realized a net loss of $871,163 (June 30, 2010: $1,451,975) or $0.02 per share (June 30, 2010: $0.04 per share), and no revenue. During the 2011 period there were increases/decreases in geological consulting fees, management and consulting fees, licenses and permits, stock-based compensation and change in warrant liability. Each of these items is analyzed in more detail immediately below:

  • Geological consulting fees for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $371,749 (three months ended June 30, 2010 - $241,019). The increase of $130,730 can be attributed to focused exploration work conducted on our property during the three months ended June 30, 2011 while during the three months ended June 30, 2010 exploration work was limited as permits were not received;

  • Management and consulting fees decreased by $56,331 for the three months ended June 30, 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 2010;

  • Licenses and permits for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $61,047 (three months ended June 30, 2010 - $nil). The increase of $61,047 is attributable to payment for mining claims during the three months ended June 30, 2011 while in the 2010 comparative period no such payments were made.

  • The decrease of $346,999 in stock-based compensation during the three months ended June 30, 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. The decrease is also attributable to the elimination of stock option liability in 2011 in accordance with ASU 2010-13.

  • Change in warrant liability for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $nil (three months ended June 30, 2010 - $373,946). The decrease of $373,946 resulted from the elimination of warrant liability in 2011 in accordance with ASU 2010-13.

Six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we realized a net loss of $2,443,414 (June 30, 2010: $1,627,952) or $0.05 per share (June 30, 2010: $0.05 per share), on no revenue. During the 2011 period there were increases/decreases in drilling, geological consulting fees, professional fees, change in warrant liability, stock-based compensation and fees, licenses and permits. Each of these items is analyzed in more detail immediately below:

  • Drilling for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $620,381 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $nil). The increase of $620,381 can be attributed to continued drilling on the Warm Spring Beryllium Project during the six months ended June 30, 2011 while no drilling had commenced in the six months ended June 30, 2010;

  • Geological consulting fees for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $890,812 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $413,579). The increase of $477,233 can be attributed to focused exploration work conducted on our property during the six months ended June 30, 2011 while during the six months ended June 30, 2010 exploration work was limited as permits were not received;

  • The decrease of $125,200 in stock-based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 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. The decrease is also attributable to the elimination of stock option liability in 2011 in accordance with ASU 2010-13.

- 13 -


  • Change in warrant liability for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $nil (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $331,646). The decrease of $331,646 resulted from the elimination of warrant liability in 2011 in accordance with ASU 2010-13.

  • Professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $185,638 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $249,346). The decrease of $63,708 can be attributed to legal services required to acquire permits during the six months ended June 30, 2010 while in the 2011 comparative period less services were required for general corporate activity;

  • Licenses and permits for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $179,685 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - ($140)). The increase of $179,825 is attributable to payment for additional mining claims during the six months ended June 30, 2011 while in the 2010 comparative period no such payments were made as permits were not yet received.

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 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.
