WHITE MOUNTAIN TITANIUM CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
(Unaudited - Expressed in US dollars)

1.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

   

White Mountain Titanium Corporation (the “Company”) is in the business of exploring for titanium deposits or reserves on its Cerro Blanco mining concessions. The Company is an exploration stage company and its principal business is to advance exploration and development activities on the Cerro Blanco rutile (titanium dioxide) Property (“Cerro Blanco”) located in Region III of northern Chile.

   

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2014, and for the period then ended, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2013, annual report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2014. The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed as part of the Company’s December 31, 2013 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

   

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on the basis of U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $49,197,212 at March 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $47,782,809), has not yet commenced revenue-producing operations, and has significant expenditure requirements to continue to advance its exploration and development activities on the Cerro Blanco property and its Chinuka process technology. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company closed a second tranche of a private placement for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 (Note 9). Management intends to raise additional capital through stock issuances to finance operations. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in its future financing activities.

   
2.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

   

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:


Cash – as held-for-trading
Receivables – as loans and receivables
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities – as other financial liabilities.

  (a)

Fair value

     
 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

2.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (Continued)

       
(a)

Fair value (continued)

       
  • Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

  • Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

           
    (b)

    Credit risk

           

    Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its contractual obligations.

           

    The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining its cash with high credit quality Canadian and Chilean financial institutions, and in respect of cash, by purchasing highly liquid, short-term guaranteed investment certificates (“GIC”) held at a high credit quality Canadian financial institutions when there is excess cash to be invested. The receivables consist of Goods and Services Tax due from the Government of Canada and expenditure advances to a director.

           
    (c)

    Liquidity risk

           

    Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required for operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 totaled $826,216 and $2,056,996, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $226,755, and $476,170, respectively, all of which fall due in the next fiscal quarter.

           
    (d)

    Market risk

           

    Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.

    2.

    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (Continued)

             
    (d)

    Market risk (Continued)

             
    (i)

    Interest rate risk

             

    Interest rate risk consists of two components:

             
    (a)

    To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

             
    (b)

    To the extent that changes in prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

             

    The Company’s cash consists of cash held in bank accounts.

             
    (ii)

    Foreign currency risk

             

    The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent expenditures incurred or funds received and balances maintained by the Company are denominated in currencies other than the US dollar (primarily Canadian dollars (“CAD”) and Chilean pesos (“CLP”)). As at March 31, 2014, the Company has net monetary assets of $39,845 (December 31, 2013 – net monetary liabilities of $5,996) denominated in CAD and net monetary liabilities of $8,302 (December 31, 2013 – $95,181) in CLP.

             

    As at March 31, 2014, the Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a change in the absolute rate of exchange in CAD by 6% will not have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and a change in the absolute rate of exchange in CLP by 9% will also not have a material impact.

             

    The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

             
    (iii)

    Other price risk

             

    Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to other price risk.

    MINERAL PROPERTIES

    Cerro Blanco

    On September 5, 2003, the Company, through its wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary, White Mountain Chile, entered into a purchase agreement with Compañía Contractual Mineral Ojos del Salado (“Ojos del Salado”), a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary of Phelps Dodge Corporation, to acquire a 100% interest in nine exploration mining concessions, collectively known as Cerro Blanco. Cerro Blanco is located in Region III of northern Chile, approximately 39 kilometres, or 24 miles, west of the city of Vallenar. Consideration for the purchase, including legal fees, was $651,950.

    The purchase agreement covering Cerro Blanco was originally entered into between Ojos del Salado and Dorado Mineral Resources NL (“Dorado”) on March 17, 2000. Under that agreement, Dorado purchased the mining exploitation concessions from Ojos del Salado for $1,000,000, of which $350,000 was paid. A first mortgage and prohibitions against entering into other contracts regarding mining concessions without the prior written consent of Ojos del Salado had also been established in favor of Ojos del Salado. On September 5, 2003, White Mountain Chile assumed Dorado’s obligations under the purchase agreement, including the mortgage and prohibitions, with payment terms as described above.

    La Martina

    As a result of regional exploration carried out in January 2013, a new rutile prospect named La Martina has been discovered and staked in the Atacama, or Region III, geographic region of northern Chile. La Martina, which is located approximately 45 kilometres south-west of the city of Vallenar and 17 kilometres south-west of the Cerro Blanco project, consists of six registered exploration concessions. Concession fees and other costs incurred in staking the property have been expensed.

    Ownership in mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequent, ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of mineral properties. The Company has investigated ownership of its mineral properties, and to the best of its knowledge, ownership of its interests is in good standing. At present, the Company has determined that it has no material asset retirement obligations.

    Exploration expenditures incurred by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

    TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS

         

    On October 1, 2010, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the non- exclusive, sublicensing agreement of the titanium metal technology developed by Chinuka Limited plc (“Chinuka” or the “Chinuka Process”), giving the Company access to the Chinuka Process for the Cerro Blanco project. La Serena Technologies Ltd. (“La Serena”) executed the sublicensing agreement as holder of the Chinuka Process master license. Four million restricted shares of common stock were issued to Chinuka and La Serena (800,000 to Chinuka and 3,200,000 to La Serena); 1,000,000 of the total were delivered at the time of signing of the agreement (500,000 shares released each to Chinuka and La Serena). The balance of common stock was to be released from escrow over 24 months at the end of each subsequent fiscal quarter on the basis of 37,500 to Chinuka and 337,500 to La Serena. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all shares had been released. The Company may terminate the sublicense agreement under certain circumstances as stipulated in the agreement. La Serena may terminate the agreement if any of the following conditions are not met:

         
  • Cumulative expenditures of $5,000,000 by the Company within five years of the effective date to advance development of the Chinuka Process towards commercialization (cumulative expenditures to March 31, 2014: $1,094,521);

  • 2% gross royalty payments to La Serena on any revenue generated by the Cerro Blanco project, which is attributable to the Chinuka Process. The gross royalty payments following five years from the effective date of the agreement are subject to a minimum payment of $200,000 per year; and

  • Commercial production of titanium metal using the Chinuka Process and feed stock derived from the Cerro Blanco project within nine years after closing.

         

    The Company has valued the consideration for the technology rights on the basis of the market value of the common shares issued for technology rights on the date of issuance of $2,800,000 and is amortizing over nine years.

         

    For the three months ended March 31, 2014, amortization of technology rights included in amortization expense is $77,778 (three months ended March 31, 2013 - $77,778).

    CAPITAL STOCK


      (a)

    Authorized stock

         
     

    On July 2, 2013, the Board of Directors, through unanimous written consent, adopted a proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 500,000,000 shares and the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 100,000,000 shares. The proposal was approved by the stockholders at the Annual General Meeting held on September 5, 2013.

         
      (b)

    Preferred stock

         
     

    During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company designated shares of Series A preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each share of preferred stock was convertible into one common share at any time at the holder’s option, subject to the adjustments to the conversion ratio. The adjustment to the conversion price of these preferred shares is based on the lowest of the share price of any common shares issued, the exercise price of any options granted or reprised, or any preferred shares issued after the issuance of these preferred shares. The preferred stock was unlisted, non-retractable and non-redeemable. The preferred stockholders were entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the preferred stock are convertible. The preferred stockholders were further entitled to the same dividends and distributions as the common stockholders.

         
     

    On February 4, 2013, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The Company has no shares of Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding or authorized to be issued.


      (c)

    Common stock

         
     

    During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company:


  • Issued 730,000 shares of common stock at a fair value of $306,600 to management, employees and consultants, under the 2010 Management Compensation Plan. Share certificates for 175,000 shares issued to our staff in Chile have been distributed, while the remaining share certificates for 555,000 shares issued to consultants and directors and officers have been withheld from distribution. The Board of Directors of the Company elected to place these shares under a voluntary escrow until the Company completes its Environmental Impact Statement.

     

     

     

    During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company:

     

     

  • Issued 4,304,418 units for gross proceeds of $3,013,100 by way of a private placement priced at $0.70 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one-half warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at $0.90 per share until July 25, 2014. The Company paid commissions, finders and legal fees of $250,349. In addition, 215,221 compensation warrants were issued to agents. The terms and conditions of the agent warrants are essentially identical to the terms and conditions of the warrants sold to investors as part of the units, except that the agent warrants had an original expiration date of March 12, 2015.

    Common stock (continued)

           
  • Entered into a $10,000,000 financing by means of a Binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) dated December 3, 2013, with Grand Agriculture Investment Limited (the “Investor”), a company formed in Hong Kong and controlled by Kin Wong, a shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the MOU, the Investor agreed to purchase 5,714,286 units (the “First Tranche Units”) and an additional 20,000,000 units (the “Second Tranche Units”). The purchase price per unit for the First Tranche Units is $0.35 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,000,000, and the purchase price per unit for the Second Tranche Units is $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $8,000,000. Each First Tranche Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $0.45 per share exercisable immediately upon issuance through December 31, 2016. Each Second Tranche Unit consists of one share of common stock and 90% of one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $0.55 per share exercisable immediately upon issuance through December 31, 2017 (the “Second Tranche Warrants”). The MOU allows the Investor to syndicate the purchase of the First or Second Tranche Units through one or more additional investors.

           

    In December 2013, the Company closed the sale of the 5,714,286 First Tranche Units at a price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

    Stock options

           

    The Company has a stock option plan, adopted in 2005, and a Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, adopted in 2010, (individually the “2005 Plan” and the “2010 Plan”, respectively, and, collectively, the “Plans”). Under the Plans, the Company is authorized to grant options to executive officers and directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The 2005 Plan was originally authorized to grant 3,140,000 shares; the 2010 Plan was originally authorized to issue 4,901,740 shares, which amount is increased at the end of each year to represent 10% of the total outstanding shares at year-end, up to a maximum of 3,800,000. The terms of any stock options granted under the 2005 Plan may not exceed five years and the exercise price of any stock option granted may not be discounted below the maximum discount permitted under the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The terms of any stock options granted under the 2010 Plan may not exceed ten years and the exercise price of any stock option plan is fixed by the plan administrator.

           

    The Company has also adopted a Management Compensation Plan for the benefit of officers, directors and employees of the Company. The pool will consist of 1% of the outstanding shares at the end of each year.

Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, need for financing, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, ability to retain and recruit personnel, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “plans,” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.

    Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this report. While it is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the cyclicality of the titanium dioxide industry, global economic and political conditions, global productive capacity, customer inventory levels, changes in product pricing, changes in product costing, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, competitive technology positions and operating interruptions (including, but not limited to, labor disputes, leaks, fires, explosions, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, war and terrorist activities). Mining operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air and water quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls, all of which are subject to change and are becoming more stringent and costly to comply with. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those expected. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

    There may also be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we do not now expect to have a material adverse impact on our business.

    Overview

    We are a mineral exploration company engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which could be economically and legally extracted or recovered. We hold mining concessions covering two rutile properties located in the Atacama region (Region III) of northern Chile, namely Cerro Blanco and the newly discovered La Martina.

    We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 24, 1998. We have six wholly owned subsidiaries: SCM White Mountain Titanium, a Chilean stock company which holds our Chilean mining concessions for our Cerro Blanco project and conducts our principal exploration operations on that property; White Mountain Metals SpA, a Chilean stock company which holds the sublicense for the Chinuka process; White Mountain Titanium Corporation, a Canadian stock company which provides management and administrative services on behalf of the U.S. parent; White Mountain Minerals SpA, which holds our Chilean mining concessions for our La Martina project and conducts our principal exploration operations on that property; White Mountain Energy Ltda., an inactive Chilean company; and White Mountain Titanium (Hong Kong), a Hong Kong company which is inactive.

    Our principal business is to explore for and develop natural rutile deposits on our mining concessions. Our principal objectives are to advance the Cerro Blanco project towards a final engineering feasibility, to secure off-take agreements for the planned rutile concentrate output, and to secure funding or other arrangements to place the project into production, if warranted. It would be the intention to sell the rutile concentrate to titanium metal and pigment producers. In addition, we

    20


    continue to fund research and development on the Chinuka Process, which is conducting research into the recovery of feldspar and the production of refined titanium metal from materials sourced from these mining concessions. We also plan to expand our exploration activities on the La Martina concessions which we discovered in 2013.

    Our common stock is currently traded in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace. Upon meeting listing requirements, it is our intention to graduate to a more senior exchange in due course.

    We have produced no revenues, have experienced losses since inception, have no revenue producing operations, and currently rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our exploration activities on our mining properties.

    Cerro Blanco

    We are progressing in various stages of development on our Cerro Blanco project, which is our principal project. We have identified nine natural rutile prospects designated as the Las Carolinas, La Cantera, Eli, Chascones, Hororio’s Creek, Hippo Ear, Quartz Creek, Algodon and Bono prospects. The last five of these have only recently been located. We presently hold 44 registered mining exploitation concessions and 36 exploration concessions over an area of approximately 17,041 hectares.

    La Martina

    La Martina consists of 6 registered exploration concessions, covering an area of 1,288 hectares, comparable in size to the area covering the current nine known prospects at Cerro Blanco. Alteration and mineralization at La Martina is similar to that observed on the Cerro Blanco property.

    Off-Take Agreements

    We currently have two definitive off-take agreements in place:

    • During 2011, we entered into our first off-take agreement with a major international pigment producer where that producer will purchase 25,000 tonnes per annum of our standard grade, natural rutile concentrate at US$1,200 per tonne FOB port. Deliveries must commence no later than September, 2014 and would run to December, 2016. The term of the agreement may then be extended by mutual agreement. If we are unable to provide product to the buyer before September 30, 2014, they will have the right to terminate this off-take agreement.

    • On September 27, 2012, we entered into a second off-take agreement with a major international pigment producer for the supply of natural rutile concentrate from the Cerro Blanco project. Under the agreement, the pigment producer has agreed to purchase 10,000 tonnes per annum of our standard grade rutile concentrate at $1,250 per tonne FOB port. The three year term, which commences upon the production of 5,000 tons of product from the Cerro Blanco project, may be extended by mutual agreement. If we are unable to provide product to the buyer before December 30, 2014, they will have the right to terminate this off-take agreement.

    The Chinuka Process

    The Chinuka Process is a patented titanium metal technology developed by Chinuka Ltd. (“Chinuka”). We hold a sub-license to use Chinuka’s patented electro-refining process to produce titanium metal directly from a variety of titanium oxide concentrates and in this regard we have been funding research at the University of Cambridge since 2010 under the direction of Professor Derek Fray. To-date, Company-funded research on the Chinuka Process has focused principally on the production of titanium metal using natural rutile concentrate from the Cerro Blanco project as the process feedstock.

    Major Developments

    Since December 31, 2013, we had the following major developments:

    • We issued 730,000 shares of common stock at a fair value of $306,600 to management, employees and consultants, under the 2010 Management Compensation Plan. Share certificates for 175,000 shares issued to our staff in Chile have been distributed, while the remaining share certificates for 555,000 shares issued to consultants and directors

    21


      and officers have been withheld from distribution. The Board of Directors of the Company elected to place these shares under a voluntary escrow until the Company completes its Environmental Impact Statement.

    • We entered into a financial advisory services agreement with RBC Capital Markets (the “Advisory Agreement”). The mandate will see both parties looking to enhance our presence in Asia and the PRC, as well as seeking to attract support for the Cerro Blanco Project from a strategic partner.

    • We completed and filed with the Chilean environmental authority, Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental (“SEA”), a written response to a first round of questions posed to its EIS application under a public review. We expect to receive a written response from SEA by the end of May 2014.
       
      Subsequent to making the recent filing, Company management and its environmental personnel met with national and local government representatives from the Third Region to discuss outstanding issues related to the Cerro Blanco project (the “Project”). During the meeting, attendees from the national government and councilors representing local communities expressed strong support for the Project. Whilst the Company is not in a position to forecast when full EIS approval will be issued, continuing dialogue with and maintaining strong support from government and local communities remains a primary objective of our project personnel.

    Results of Operations

    We recorded a net loss of $1,414,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 ($0.02 per weighted average common share outstanding) compared to a net loss of $1,340,627 ($0.02 per share) for the comparative interim period in 2013.

    A number of expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 were materially affected by the issuance of 730,000 shares of common stock during that period. These shares were issued to directors, officers, management, employees and consultants. As a result, a total of $306,600 was recognized as stock based compensation expense and allocated to Consulting fees, Consulting fees – directors and officers, Management fees and Office. No such share issuance was made in the prior year interim period. The fluctuations of these expenses are as follows:

    • Consulting fees of $140,140 for 2014 as compared to $38,595 for 2013;
    • Consulting fees – directors and officers: $281,830 for 2014 as compared to $101,541 for 2013;
    • Management fees of $135,228 for 2014 as compared to $101,228 for 2013.

    Research and development costs represent the amount of funding the Company has provided to further the Chinuka process. There was no amount committed and payable pertaining to the current period as a result of the expiration of the last annual funding agreement in December 2013. The renewal of the funding agreement is subject to further negotiation process. The $8,197 expense for the current period represented the difference between the amount accrued at December 31, 2013 and that actually paid subsequent to the year end.

    Loss before other items for the current three-month period was $1,402,458, as compared to $1,309,154 for the comparative period in 2013.

    Foreign exchange loss was $11,967 for the current period, as compared to $31,503 for the comparative period, due to the volatility of U.S. dollar compared to the Chilean Peso and Canadian dollar during the comparable period.

    Liquidity and Cash Flows

    As of March 31, 2014, we had a working capital of $716,181 (December 31, 2013: $1,692,148), including $826,216 (December 31, 2013: $2,056,996) of cash.

    Cash used in operating activities was $1,228,924 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,069,278 for the comparable prior year period. Cash used in investing activities was $1,856 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (2013: $1,195).

    22


    We did not raise any cash from financing activities during the current three-month period. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we raised a total of $2,762,751 in net cash through financing activities.

    Subsequent to March 31, 2014, pursuant to a Binding MOU dated December 3, 2013 with the Investor, Million Cheer Investment Limited (“MCIL”), a company formed in Hong Kong, purchased 5,000,000 Second Tranche Units. The purchase price per unit for the Second Tranche Units was $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The MOU provides for 7% selling commission in connection with the sale of the Second Tranche Units to non-U.S. purchasers.

    We believe that the prospects are such that we will be able to raise sufficient funds. However, there are a number of risk factors which will influence our ability to do so, including the state of the capital markets generally, and the market price of our common stock. With the exception of funds on deposit and the expected remaining $6,000,000 from the sale of Second Tranche Units, we have no other sources of committed funds, except for outstanding warrants for which there are no commitments to exercise. The most likely source of new funds would be an equity placement of common shares or some form of strategic alliance. We believe that a failure to raise funds in a timely manner would likely delay the achievement of some of our project milestones, and would delay any decision regarding the viability of operations while likely increasing future costs.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). US GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.

    This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
