PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River Resources” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2014, the results of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, and its consolidated cash flows for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. The results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
Prior to October 1, 2013, the Company’s functional and reporting currency was the Canadian dollar (CDN). The major asset of Company at September 30, 2013 was a marketable security held in a former consolidated entity. In early October 2013 all shares held in in the former consolidated entity were compulsory acquired by a third party. As a result of the disposal of the investment, the Company’s revenue and expenses are no longer primarily denominated in CDN. ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation, states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from October 1, 2013 the functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar (US$). Assets, liabilities and equity were translated at the rate of exchange at October 1, 2013 of CDN$1.00 = US$0.9704. Revenue and expenses were translated at rates at date of transaction. The recasting of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenue and expense into US dollars did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Translation gains and losses were not material and accordingly were included as part of operations.
Restatement of comparative numbers was made for the change in functional and reporting currency.
UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTED IS IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

GOLDEN RIVER RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014
1. Organisation
Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River Resources”) is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The principal shareholder of Golden River Resources is Northern Capital Resources Corp (“NCRC”) which owned 96.62% of Golden River Resources as of September 30, 2014.
Golden River Resources was a gold exploration company. On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) ("Acadian") to subscribe in private placement transactions for common shares in Acadian and since that time, it acquired an interest by June 30, 2011 of 71.48%. Between January 2012 and June 2013 the Company sold a majority of its interest in Acadian and at June 30, 2013, it held a 0.50% interest in Acadian. On September 18, 2013, the Company converted a convertible note of US$402,000 into 3,500,000 shares in Acadian thus increasing its equity interest in Acadian to 6.53%. On October 11, 2013, Acadian and LionGold Corp. Ltd. ("LionGold") announced that they concluded the arrangement by which LionGold, compulsory acquired all of the common shares of Acadian that it did not already own. As a result, effective October 11, 2013, the Company no longer has an equity interest in Acadian. The Company is now looking for new gold acquisitions interests.
The financial statements presented herein have been prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of Golden River Resources and its other subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ). The guidance in ASU 2014-15 sets forth management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should include consideration of conditions and events that are either known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as whether it is probable that management's plans to address the substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU however at the current period management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these financial statements for additional disclosure other than disclosed in Note 4.
Other Recently Issued, but not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policy followed in connection with the preparation of the financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
Effective October 1, 2013, the Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Revenue and expenses incurred in a currency other than the United States dollars are translated at the date incurred or invoiced. Assets and liabilities are re-valued at the period end exchange rate where appropriate. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Prior to October 1, 2013, the Company’s functional and reporting currency was the Canadian dollar (CDN). The major asset of Company at September 30, 2013 was a marketable security held in a former consolidated entity. In October 2013 all shares held in in the former consolidated entity were compulsory acquired by a third party. As a result of the disposal of the investment, the Company’s revenue and expenses are no longer primarily denominated in Canadian dollars. ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation, states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from October 1, 2013 the functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar (US$). Assets, liabilities and equity were translated at the rate of exchange at October 1, 2013 of CDN$1.00 = US$0.9704. Revenues and expenses were translated at rates at date of transaction. The recasting of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenue and expense into US dollars did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Translation gains and losses were not material and accordingly were included as part of operations.
7
Restatement of comparative numbers was made for the change in functional and reporting currency.
4. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2014, the Company had not yet commenced revenue producing operations and had a retained deficit of US$41,451,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional funding for operations and this additional funding may be raised through debt or equity offerings. The Company has a debt due from AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (AXIS) which is nearly fully offset by the allowance for doubtful debt. AXIS provides management services to the Company and the cost of these services reduces the amount of the debt. In addition, the Company has historically relied on loans and advances from corporations affiliated with the President of Golden River Resources and fund raising through the sale of equity instruments. Based on discussions with these affiliate companies, the Company believes this source of funding will continue to be available. Other than the arrangements noted above, the Company has not confirmed any other arrangement for ongoing funding. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
5. Affiliate Transactions
Golden River Resources advances to and receives advances from various affiliates.
The Company has entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (“AXIS”) to provide geological, management and administration services to the Company. AXIS is affiliated through common management. The Company is one of nine affiliated companies to which AXIS provides services. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. Golden River Resources holds a 9.09% interest in AXIS at a cost of A$1 and is accounted for under the cost method. Any profits generated by AXIS are returned to its shareholders in the form of dividends.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, AXIS repaid Golden River Resources US$8,000 and the Company advanced AXIS US$127,000 and an accrual was recorded for AXIS services provided in accordance with the service agreement of US$20,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the foreign currency translation effect of the amount owing by AXIS was a loss of approximately US$137,000. The amount owed by AXIS at September 30, 2014 is US$1,737,000. At September 30, 2014, management considered the recoverability of the amount owed by AXIS and in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards provided an additional US$14,000 provision for doubtful receivable. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not charge interest. At September 30, 2014, the provision for doubtful receivable amounts to US$1,685,000. The amount owed by AXIS (net of allowance) at September 30, 2014 under current assets – receivables from affiliates was US$52,000.
The Company has made advances to AXIS in connection with the ongoing business relationship between the two parties, which have been disclosed in the Company’s SEC reports, but which are not specifically provided for in the AXIS Services Agreement. In order to service its clients, AXIS is required to make ongoing expenditures for payroll, facilities and equipment that may exceed the amount of its cash receipts during particular periods, depending on the amount of services provided to its clients and the amount of fees received from such clients during these periods. Historically, the shortfall in its cash receipts has been covered by cash advances from a number of the companies, which receive services from AXIS, including the Company. The purpose of such advances is to assist AXIS in meeting its ongoing cash flow requirements in order to assure that AXIS has the necessary resources to provide services to the Company on an as needed basis. The parties are in discussions in relation to AXIS providing security to the Company for the amount outstanding and such discussions are anticipated to be concluded by the end of fiscal 2015. However no agreement has been reached to-date. Two of the Company’s directors (Mr Gutnick and Dr Tyrwhitt) are also directors of AXIS, Mr Lee is Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of AXIS and all owe fiduciary obligations to both parties. It is the intention of the Boards of Directors of AXIS and the Company that this issue be resolved in a manner that is fair to all parties and equitable to the shareholders of each, but there are no agreements or understandings addressing the priority or dispensation of fiduciary duties with respect to the discussions to resolve the amount outstanding owed by AXIS or any other conflict of interest with AXIS or other affiliates.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, AXIS repaid the Company US$63,000 and provided services in accordance with the service agreement of US$31,000 and the Company advanced AXIS US$631,000, before foreign currency translation of approximately US$171,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an additional provision of US$569,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not charge interest. The amount owed by AXIS at September 30, 2013 was US$1,539,000. At September 30, 2013, management considered the recoverability of the amount owed by AXIS and in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards provided a provision for doubtful receivable for the full amount.
During fiscal 2010, the Company sold shares of common stock to NCRC, a Nevada corporation, pursuant to certain subscription agreements. Mr Joseph Gutnick, the Company’s President, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NCRC. In addition, Legend International Holdings, Inc., of which Mr. Gutnick is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a principal stockholder, owns 31.46% of NCRC. As of September 30, 2014, NCRC owned approximately 96.6% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.
During fiscal 2013, the Company advanced NCRC US$1,189,000 and after foreign exchange adjustments US$1,158,000 is the amount owed by NCRC at September 30, 2014. Management had previously considered the recoverability of the amount owed by NCRC and in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards provided a provision for doubtful receivable for the full amount.
8
During fiscal 2013, Golden River advanced Acadian US$141,000 in funds for operating expenditures and incurred expenditures on behalf of Acadian of US$2,000. On September 25, 2014 the amount outstanding was repaid in full.
6. Issue of Options under Stock Option Plan
In October 2004, the Board of Directors and Remuneration Committee of the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan. The Company issued 605,000 options under the plan. At September 30, 2014, the options are fully vested.
Since the issue of the options, 120,000 options have lapsed following the termination of participants to the issue.

7. (Loss) per share
The Company calculates (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic profit/(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Options to acquire 485,000 shares of common stock were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as such effects would be anti-dilutive.
8. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances due from affiliates. The carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances receivable approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturities of these accounts. The fair values of advances due from affiliates are not practicable to estimate as no similar market exists for these instruments and as it does not have a specified date of repayment.

During fiscal 2012, Golden River purchased US$408,000 (CDN$420,000) of debentures in its former consolidated subsidiary Acadian. The debentures were unsecured and convertible into common shares of Acadian at the holder’s option at a price of CDN$0.12 per common share. On September 18, 2013, the Company elected to convert the convertible note into 3,500,000 shares in Acadian.
On October 11, 2013 Acadian and LionGold announced that they concluded the arrangement by which LionGold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary LionGold Mining Canada Inc. (formerly 9286-0930 Québec Inc.) compulsory acquired all of the common shares of Acadian ("Acadian Shares") that it did not already own (the "Arrangement"). Effective from that date, LionGold directly or indirectly owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Acadian. Under the Arrangement, Acadian shareholders (other than LionGold and its affiliates) received CDN$0.12 in cash for each Acadian Share. On October 17, 2013 the Company received US$402,000 for 3,509,998 shares it held in Acadian. The balance of the funds of US$28,000 (after currency translation) is expected to be received in fiscal 2015.
9. Income Taxes
The Company recognises deferred tax assets or liabilities for the expected future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

10. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events and transactions after the balance sheet date and, through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and believes that all relevant disclosures have been included herein and there are no other events which require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than disclosed herein.

FUND COSTS CONVERSION
The consolidated statements of operations and other financial and operating data contained elsewhere here in and the consolidated balance sheets and financial results have been reflected in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the United States dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar during the periods indicated:
| 3 months ended September 30, 2013 | US$1.00 = A$0.9597 |
| 3 months ended September 30, 2014 | US$1.00 = A$1.1460 |
| 3 months ended September 30, 2013 | US$1.00 = CDN $1.0176 |
| 3 months ended September 30, 2014 | US$1.00 = CDN $1.1158 |
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in United States dollars (US$). A number of the costs and expenses of the Company are incurred in Canadian and Australian dollars and the conversion of these costs to US$ means that the comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2014 to the three months ended September 30, 2013 does not always present a true comparison.
GENERAL
Golden River Resources was a gold exploration company focusing its activities in Canada through its investment in Acadian During fiscal 2013, we sold our controlling interest in Acadian. As a result, Golden River de-consolidated the operations of Acadian. Accordingly, the management discussion and analysis relates to the activities of Golden River only and does not include a discussion of Acadian activities unless otherwise stated.
As set out in notes to consolidated financial statements – affiliate transactions, the Company is managed by AXIS. Certain costs and expenses are incurred by the Company and certain costs and expenses are incurred by AXIS on behalf of the Company and billed to the Company by AXIS. The discussion in the next paragraphs relates to costs and expenses of the Company, incurred by both the Company; and by AXIS that are billed or to be billed to the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2013.
Costs and expenses decreased from US$62,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to US$29,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014.
The decrease in costs and expenses is a net result of:
|
a)
|
a decrease in legal, accounting and professional expense from US$20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to US$8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 consisted of costs associated with professional services in relation to financial statements, the quarterly Form 10-Qs.
|
|
b)
|
a decrease in administrative costs including salaries from US$42,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to US$21,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease relates to head office salaries, office costs and statutory filing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Included within the administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of US$21,000 (2013:US$42,000) was and accrual for AXIS services provided in accordance with the service agreement of US$20,000 compared to the amount of US$31,000 billed to us by AXIS for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
|
The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of US$142,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and US$nil for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as a result of the movement in the Australian and Canadian dollar versus the United States dollar.
At September 30, 2014, management considered the recoverability of the amount owed by AXIS and in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards provided a provision for doubtful receivable. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 the Company recorded an adjustment to the provision of US$(14,000) (2013: US$569,000).
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was US$157,000 compared to US$625,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was US$123,000 consisting primarily of the net loss of US$157,000; foreign exchange loss US$142,000; allowance for doubtful debt of US$14,000; decrease in receivables of US$132,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accruals of US$19,000.
11
As at September 30, 2014, the Company had short-term obligations of US$112,000 being accounts payable and accrued expenses.
We have US$300 in cash at September 30, 2014.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, AXIS repaid the Company US$8,000 and the Company provided AXIS with a US$127,000 advance and an accrual was recorded for AXIS services provided in accordance with the service agreement of US$20,000. At September 30, 2014, management considered the recoverability of the amount owed by AXIS and in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards provided a further US$14,000 provision for doubtful receivable.
The Company has net advances receivable due from affiliated entities for approximately US$2,895,000 at September 30, 2014, of which is US$2,843,000 is fully allowed for.
Our budget for general and administration costs for fiscal 2015 is US$250,000. We are searching for new business opportunities and are not planning any exploration related activities in the short term.
The Company has historically funded its activities from funds provided by capital raising through the issuance of its shares and advances from affiliated entities. We are currently investigating further capital raising opportunities which may be in the form of either equity or debt, to provide funding for working capital purposes and future exploration programs. There can be no assurance that such capital raising will be successful, or that even if an offer of financing was received by the Company, it is on terms acceptable to the Company.
Cautionary Safe Harbor Statement under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Certain information contained in this Form 10-Q’s forward looking information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 (the “Act”) which become law in December 1995. In order to obtain the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the act for any such forwarding looking statements, the Company wishes to caution investors and prospective investors about significant factors which among others have affected the Company’s actual results and are in the future likely to affect the Company’s actual results and cause them to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward looking statements. This Form 10-Q report contains forward looking statements relating to future financial results. Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which the Company has no control including, without limitation, the risks of exploration and development stage projects, political risks of development in foreign countries, risks associated with environmental and other regulatory matters, mining risks and competition and the volatility of gold and copper prices, movements in the foreign exchange rate and the availability of additional financing for the Company. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information which could affect the Company’s financial results is included in the Company’s Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company reports in US$ and holds cash denominated in A$ dollars. At September 30, 2014, this amounted to US$300 (A$400). A change in the exchange rate between the A$ and the US$ will have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and create a foreign exchange gain or loss. A movement of 1% in the A$ versus the US$ exchange rate will have no effect on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive loss.
At September 30, 2014, the Company has a receivable from affiliates before provision for doubtful receivable of US$1,737,000 (A$1,991,000). As the receivable is in A$ dollars, a change in the exchange rate between the A$ and the US$ will have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and create a foreign exchange gain or loss. A movement of 1% in the A$ versus the US$17,370 exchange rate will have a US$ effect on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive loss.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at the reasonable level of assurance.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
(c) Other
We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Therefore, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving our desired control objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, as of September 30, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.
