Common Stock Options and Warrants

During April 2011, LKA entered into an interim consulting agreement with Francois Viens to act as a special advisor to the LKA board of directors, with the election of being appointed to a position on the LKA board in the future.  As an initial incentive compensation for his services, LKA issued Mr. Viens warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of LKA stock in three tranches on a three-year vesting.  Each warrant has a term of two and one-half years. In the event the shares underlying the warrants, and the closing price of the common stock of the Company has been $6.00 per share or higher for 10 trading days within a 30 day trading period subject to minimum trading volumes, LKA shall be able to redeem the Warrants at $0.001 per warrant.  The value of the warrants was recognized as expense ratably over the vesting term.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, LKA expensed $7,573 related to the warrant vesting.

NOTE 5 -        GOING CONCERN

LKA's consolidated financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, LKA has recently accumulated significant losses and has negative working capital.  All of these items raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the LKA's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:

LKA is currently engaged in an intensive exploration program at the Golden Wonder mine with the objective of returning the mine to a producing status. The exploration program, which began in November, 2008, has involved extensive sampling/assaying for the purpose of identifying possible new production zones within the mine. During this evaluation period, sampling and analysis of exposed veins yielded encouraging results and some precious metals revenues. While encouraging, no conclusion can be drawn at this time about the commercial viability of the mine and LKA continues to pursue potential third party operator or lease agreements for the property.

In order to support continued operation of the mine, LKA entered into several financing transactions during the year ended December 31, 2013, and plans on raising additional funding during 2014 to support the continued exploration of the Golden Wonder mine.  If LKA is not successful in the resumption of mine operations which produce positive cash flows from operations, LKA may be forced to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing to fund its ongoing obligations or risk ceasing doing business.  

There can be no assurance that LKA will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan.  The ability of LKA to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Statements made in this Quarterly Report which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and our business, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to raise capital, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expects,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “targets” or similar expressions.

Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.  We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Results of Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized revenue of $184,036 from the sale of gold ore, compared to $289,026 in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of approximately 36%.  Ore sales result from our exploration activities at the Golden Wonder mine.  

Exploration expenses decreased from to $217,511 in the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $148,631 in the three months ended March 31, 2014, or approximately 32%.  

Professional fees increased by $149,980, or approximately 297%, mainly due to the recognition of $183,593in non-cash equity compensation expense to consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

General and administrative expenses increased by $19,030, or approximately 58% in the three months ended March 31, 2014, mainly due to a $24,471 increase in investor relations expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We incurred an operating loss of $254,567 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to an operating loss of $49,447 in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase is mainly due to the recognition of $183,593 in non-cash equity compensation expense to consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Our total other expenses decreased to $1,900 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $2,756,829 in the three months ended March 31, 2013, mainly as a result of $2,756,000 in one-time non-cash stock based expenses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  

Interest expense increased to $1,902 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $831 in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $476,904, as compared to working capital deficit of $456,657 at December 31, 2013.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were, subject to the limitations noted above, effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
