SILVER DRAGON RESOURCES INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2013 and 2012

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Silver Dragon Resources Inc. was incorporated on May 9, 1996 in the State of Delaware and its executive office is in Toronto, Canada. It carries out operations in Canada and China. Silver Dragon Resources Inc. and its subsidiary and affiliate (collectively referred to as “Silver Dragon” or the “Company”) are in the exploration stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Accounting and Reporting For Development Stage Entities.”

The Company’s strategy is to acquire and develop a portfolio of silver properties in proven silver districts globally. To date, the Company has generated no sales and has devoted its efforts primarily to financing, by issuing common shares and convertible debt, and exploring its properties.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and are expressed in United States funds. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

2. Going Concern and Exploration Stage Activities

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,259,744 (December 31, 2012 – $4,001,000), had not yet achieved profitable operations, incurred a net loss of $403,723 for the period ended March 31, 2013 (2012 – $1,479,021), has accumulated losses of $45,693,189 since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors cast doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to repay liabilities when they come due, and in the long-run is dependent upon achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity or convertible debt financing; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during the period ended March 31, 2013, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.

4. Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, other receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, promissory note payable, current portion of convertible notes payable and related party payable approximated their fair value as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 due to their short-term nature.

Interest and Credit Risk

In the opinion of management, the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from its financial instruments.

Currency Risk

While the reporting currency is the United States Dollar, $24,993 of consolidated expenses for the period ended March 31, 2013 are denominated in Mexican Pesos; and $194,359 of consolidated expenses for the period ended March 31, 2013, are denominated in Canadian Dollars. As at March 31, 2013, $1,096,084 of the net monetary liabilities are denominated in Mexican Pesos; and $635,296 of the net monetary liabilities are denominated in Canadian Dollars. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

(a)

On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into a three year lease agreement for office, which was amended during the first quarter to commence from June 1, 2012 and end on May 31, 2015. The future minimum commitment under the lease obligations for office premises are as follows:


  2013 $  46,753  
  2014   62,338  
  2015   15,584  
    $  124,675  

In addition, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of realty taxes and certain other occupancy costs under the terms of the lease.

   
(b)

The Company has committed to provide capital contributions to cover expenses proportionate to its equity interest in Sino-Top.

   
(c)

The Company’s Mexican subsidiary was subjected to irregularities that it was seeking to redress. Legal proceedings were heard and decided on an ex parte basis, without notice to the Company that resulted in its Mexican subsidiary losing title to its mineral assets. In December 2010, the Company became aware of this situation, and took steps through the courts in Mexico to redress the situation. It included a Constitutional Rights Claim before the Federal Court in the City of Durango, premised on procedural irregularities. On May 22, 2012, the Court ruled against the Constitutional Rights Claim. As a result, the Company determined that it will not pursue any further recourse with regard to this matter, and accordingly, will never recover the Mexican Concessions. The Company is working with its legal counsel to dissolve the Mexican subsidiary and during this process the outstanding judgments will be addressed.

14. Subsequent Events

In November and December, 2012, the Company entered into letters of agreement with the holders of all of the convertible notes, pursuant to which the Company agrees to pay $2,869,133 (the “Payoff Amount”) on or before March 31, 2013 (the “Payoff Date”), such payment will constitute payment in full of any and all obligations due and owing under the convertible notes and certain other agreements between the parties (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).

In consideration of the foregoing, the lenders agreed, from the date of the letters of agreement through the Payoff Date, to forbear from exercising any right or remedy in respect of the Transaction Documents, including without limitation any right to conversion, right to delivery of shares, right to assignment, purchase right or any remedy arising as the result of any default or event of default. The parties have also agreed to a mutual release of claims, subject to and effective upon receipt and collection of the Payoff Amount as set forth in the letters of agreement. If the Payoff Amount is not paid by the Payoff Date, the lender’s agreements shall be deemed cancelled.

In April 2013, the Company extended the Payoff Date from March 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

OVERVIEW

Our primary objective is to explore for silver minerals. Our secondary objective is to locate, evaluate, and acquire other mineral properties, and to finance our exploration through equity or debt financings, asset dispositions, joint ventures or option agreements (or any combination thereof), if and to the extent available.

CHINESE PROPERTIES

Overview

By virtue of our 40% equity interest in Sino-Top Resources & Technologies, Ltd. (“Sino-Top”), we currently have an interest in the following six silver poly-metallic exploration properties owned by Sino-Top, which properties are located in the Erbahuo Silver District in Northern China (Inner Mongolia): Dadi; Laopandao; Aobaotugonao; Shididonggou; Yuanlinzi; and Zhuanxinhu. Prior to July 5, 2012, we also had a 70% interest in Chifeng Silver Dragon Resources & Technologies, Ltd. (“Chifeng”), which owns the Erbahuo property, also located in the Erbahuo Silver District in Northern China (Inner Mongolia).

On May 28, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 70% interest in Chifeng Silver Dragon Resources & Technologies, Ltd. (“Chifeng”), which then owned the Erbahuo silver mine located on the boundary of Wengniute County and Keshiketeng County, Inner Mongolia. The Company sold such interest to Deng Zuoping, a private Chinese investor, for RMB 7.4 million or US$1,164,020, of which RMB1 million was to be paid within three business days after signing the agreement, RMB5 million was to be paid before July 15, 2012 and RMB1.4 million was to be paid by November 1, 2012. On June 1, 2012, an initial deposit of RMB1.0 million or $157,300 was received, of which $12,584 was contributed to Chifeng for expenses incurred until the date of the sale. Concurrently with such payment, we transferred to the purchaser title to our interest in Chifeng. Of the remaining payments, RMB5 million or $790,980 was paid to the Company during the fourth quarter of 2012, RMB300,000 or $48,057 was paid in the first quarter of 2013 and RMB200,000 or $32,211 was paid in the second quarter of 2013 and RMB900,000 or $144,950 remains outstanding as of May 17, 2013.

12


Of our remaining six properties, two are currently considered to be material to us: Dadi and Laopandao. We no longer consider Aobaotugounao to be material as a result of Sino-Top having determined, based on the results of work done to date, not to further invest in Aobaotugounao during 2013.

General Update on Operations

Five mineralized zones have been discovered at the Dadi property. Among them, mineralization zones I, II and IV are controlled by adits, transverse drifts, surface trenches, surface drill holes and underground drill holes intensively. The general features of the mineralization zones are as follows:

  • Mineralization zone I is located in the central part of the property and is approximately 1000m long with widths ranging from 5m to 60m and with a 310° to 340° strike. Within mineralization zone I, five mineralized bodies are identified. The largest is mineralized body I, which is 350m long, 2.8m wide, and its dip extension reaches 350m.

  • Mineralization zone II is located in the northeast part of the property and is approximately 1000m long with width from 5m to 60m and dips to northeast with 60°~70°dip angle. Within mineralization zone II, six mineralized bodies are discovered by surface trenches, surface drill holes, underground drill holes, exploration tunnels at 1,426m (PD2), 1,384m (PD1), and at 1,350m levels. According to estimation, mineralization zone II accounted for 80% of all the polymetallic mineralization at the Dadi Property.

  • Mineralized body II is the most important polymetallic body within mineralization zone II. It is of 320°~340°strike, dips to NE with 70°~75°dip angle. On the surface (1,500m elevation), mineralized body II is 300m long and its widest part is 6m at trench TC26-2. At 1,426m level adit (PD1), it is 330m long; at 1,384m level adit, it is 290m long; and at 1,350m level adit, it reaches 550m long. All transverse drifts at each three level tunnels hit mineralized body II, with the widths ranging from 0.5m to 17.4m. Within mineralized body II, massive vein forms and disseminated galena are common.

  • Surface drill holes control mineralized body II in the range of 400m along its strike with dipping depths ranging from 130m to 430m. The true thickness of mineralized body II at depth is from 2.9m to 22m, discovered by drilling. The thickest part (20.8m) is discovered by drill hole ZK0801, which is located at exploration line 8.

  • Mineralization zone III is located 250m southwest of mineralization zone II. It is approximately 250m long and 1m wide, and controlled by four surface trenches. Its occurrence is NW strike, and it dips to NE25°~75° with dip angle 55°. Mineralization zone IV is located at the central part of the property. On the surface, it is 450m long with width 0.8~7.2m. Its deep part is controlled by tunnel PD4 at 1,329m level and 18 underground drill holes. The controlled length of mineralization zone IV at depth reaches 350m and the width ranges from 0.7m to 5.5m. The dipping depth controlled by underground drilling reaches 140m.

  • Mineralization zone V is located between mineralization zones I and II. It is 200m long and consists of 10 mineralized bodies.

In February 2013, a metallurgic test on the Dadi property was completed by Beijing Longxing Shengxuan Technology Investment Co., Ltd. as was commissioned by Inner Mongolia Guangda Mining, Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of Sino-Top.

The tunneling project for the 2013 exploration season commenced in early March of this year. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 180m of tunneling was completed.

No assurance can be provided that the foregoing plans and objectives will be achieved.

The board of Sino-Top also established the 2013 capital budget at its May 2013 meeting. All amounts stated in US dollars in this discussion have been converted based on the noon exchange rate reported by the Bank of Canada on May 16, 2013. The total 2013 capital budget was set at RMB97,430,000 ($15,846,875), of which G&A expenses are RMB5,030,000 ($818,124), project costs are RMB89,600,000 ($14,573,335) and exploration expenses are RMB2,800,000 ($455,417). Given Sino-Top’s available cash balance at the beginning of 2013 of RMB7, 393,800 ($1,202,593), the capital requirements for the 2013 program are RMB90,000,000 ($14,638,394). Our joint venture partner is expected to contribute 55.56%, or RMB50,000,000 ($8,132,441), and the Company is expected to contribute 44.44%, or RMB40,000,000 ($6,505,953). The funds of RMB90,000,000 ($14,638,394) are expected to be contributed in four installments, with the first payment of RMB10,000,000 ($1,626,488) to be made before May 31, 2013, the second payment of RMB20,000,000 ($3,252,976) before June 30, 2013, the third payment of RMB30,000,000 ($4,879,465) before September 30, 2013, and the fourth payment of RMB 30,000,000 ($4,879,465) before December 31, 2013. As discussed below, we do not currently have sufficient funds to satisfy such capital obligations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a further discussion). Our interest in Sino-Top may be diluted if we are unable to satisfy these capital obligations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net sales were $nil for both of the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, as there was no production at any of the properties.

The net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 decreased to $403,723 from a prior period loss of $1,479,021. The reason for the decrease was lower administrative costs and interest costs as the Company did not issue any new warrants or stock options and there was overall lower operational activity for the period.

General and administration expenses decreased from $506,655 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 to $234,020 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, as we took measures to decrease operating costs relating to the head office. The Company achieved its goal of lowering payroll costs by streamlining its staff as well as other overhead costs including leasing office space at a lower monthly rate.

15


Interest expenses decreased significantly from $844,838 in the prior year period to $24,993 in the current period, and total other expenses also decreased significantly from $979,366 in the prior year period to $169,703 in the current period. Such decreases were attributable to the deferral agreements currently in place with our lenders pursuant to which no new interest is accruing on our outstanding debts (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

Loss on equity of $144,710 remained consistent with a prior period loss of $138,515. While exploration costs for the Sino-Top investment decreased compared to the prior period, this decrease was offset with a comparable increase in general and interest expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary cash requirements are for the exploration and acquisition of mining exploration properties, corporate and administrative costs and the payoff of our outstanding debt. At March 31, 2013, we had working capital deficit of $4,259,744 and cash on hand of $60,193, and at December 31, 2012, we had working capital deficit of $4,001,000 and cash on hand of $13,406. Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, our continuation as a going concern is uncertain and dependent on successfully achieving future profitable operations and obtaining additional sources of financing to sustain our operations.

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”), we are currently subject to deferral agreements with our four lenders. Such deferral agreements generally provide that, if we are able to pay an aggregate of $2,689,133 to the lenders by June 30, 2013, such payments will constitute payment in full of any and all obligations due and owing under our outstanding promissory notes owed to these lenders.

We are also party to a loan facility (the “Travellers Facility”) with Travellers International Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Travellers”), a company controlled by the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, Marc Hazout. Under the Travellers Facility, Travellers has made certain historical loans to or for the benefit of the Company and may in the future make future loans to or for the benefit of the Company. As of the date of this filing, the net amount of loans outstanding under the Travellers Facility was CDN$302,000, or approximately US$297,156 based on the noon exchange rate reported by the Bank of Canada on May 16, 2013.

Aside from the funds we require to pay our debts, we estimate that we must raise approximately $7 million over the next 12 months to fund capital requirements and general corporate expenses. We intend to seek to raise such capital through equity or debt financings, asset dispositions, joint ventures or option agreements (or any combination thereof). There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise any such capital. In the event we are unable to timely raise the amount of capital needed to satisfy the debt owing under the aforementioned deferral agreements, we will attempt to negotiate extensions of such agreements. Furthermore, if we are unable to raise sufficient funds to satisfy our debt obligations before a demand for payment by our creditors, and/or if we fail to obtain sufficient funds to satisfy our capital requirements and general corporate expenses, we will need to sell up to all of our property interests in China (assuming the existence of an interested buyer), refrain from financially contributing to the future operations of Sino-Top, or, as mentioned above, consummate bankruptcy proceedings. In the event of bankruptcy, our creditors would assert claims that could result in the total liquidation of the Company or, failing that, our creditors could acquire control of the Company and our existing stockholders could lose their entire investment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to mineral rights, equity investment, plant and equipment, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the respective period.

We have identified below certain accounting policies that we believe are most important for the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Mineral Rights

We record our interest in mineral rights at cost. Exploration costs are expensed. Costs associated with acquisition and development of mineral reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized and are subject to ceiling tests to ensure the carrying value does not exceed the fair value.

Investments in unproved properties and major exploration projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the capitalized cost of the property will be added to the costs to be amortized. We presently have no proven reserves. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses whether the carrying values can be recovered. If the carrying values exceed estimated recoverable values, then the costs are written-down to fair values with the write-down expensed in the period.

Equity Investment

Equity investments are entities over which we exercise significant influence but do not exercise control. These are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost net of any accumulated impairment loss. Our share of these entities’ profits or losses after acquisition of our interest is recognized in the statement of operations and cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When our share of losses on these investments equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, we only recognize further losses where we have incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

OFF BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in our financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our principal executive financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive, financial and accounting officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date. The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:

  • Lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant financial accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting or consideration of certain transactions.

  • Inadequate financial staffing. Effective August 31, 2012, our chief financial officer resigned for personal reasons, and our part-time controller was appointed as our new chief financial officer on a part-time basis. Due to the Company’s limited financial resources, the position of controller remained vacant. Management has concluded that the aforementioned part-time arrangement of the chief financial officer, without additional financial personnel in support, was not adequate to ensure effective disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date.

Effective April 5, 2013, the recently appointed chief financial officer resigned for personal reasons, which may adversely affect the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in internal controls

Except as described above, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
