FOCUS GOLD CORPORATION
(An exploration stage company)
Notes to (unaudited) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six month period ended August 31, 2011 and 2010


 
1. Organization and Description of Business
 
Focus Gold Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on December 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada under the name Real Estate Referral Center Inc.  On April 21, 2009, the Company changed its name to Gold Bag, Inc. and effective June 6, 2011 to Focus Gold Corporation.  Since inception through April 2009, the Company’s principal business was the matching of real estate customers with realtors in Canada through its website and word-of mouth contacts.  In April 2009, the Company relocated to the United States of America and changed its business plan to purchase gold coins, broken jewellery or other items containing precious metals.  On May 22, 2009 the Company effected a forward stock split on a 10:1 basis of its stock.  In October 2010 the Company entered into an option agreement with Victoria Gold Inc. for the right to explore and purchase mineral claims located in Ontario Canada and since that time the Company’s principal business has been the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.  The Company is considered an exploration stage company and its financial statements are presented in a manner similar to a development stage company as defined in FASC 915-10-05, and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7.
 
On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Fairfields Gold S.A. de CV, a Mexican corporation involved in the exploration and expansion of its mineral properties.  The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The foregoing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q and article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements furnished herein includes all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the six month period ended August 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 29, 2012.
 
2. Significant accounting policies

This condensed summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  This condensed summary should be read in conjunction with the disclosure of accounting policies in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011.

 
(a)
Mineral Properties, Leases and Exploration and Development Costs

The Company accounts for mineral properties in accordance with ASC 930: Extractive Activities-Mining.  Costs of acquiring mineral properties and leases are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims (see Note 4).  Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.

FOCUS GOLD CORPORATION
(An exploration stage company)
Notes to (unaudited) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six month period ended August 31, 2011 and 2010


2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
The Company accounts for mineral exploration and development costs in accordance with ASC 932: Extractive Activities.  All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned.  Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refunded to the Company are credited to the capitalized cost of the mineral property or to exploration costs as applicable. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the mineral property or the exploration costs incurred, the excess is recognized as income in the year received.
 
The amounts shown for mineral properties do not necessarily represent present or future values.  Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

The Company accounts for stock based compensation to employees as required by ASC 718: Compensation-Stock Compensation and stock based compensation to nonemployees as required by ASC 505-50: Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Stock awards have been valued at fair value using recent share issuance prices for cash, in arms-length transactions.  Options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model (See Note 5). The offset to the recorded stock based compensation cost is to additional paid-in capital. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and additional paid-in capital and the related additional paid-in capital is transferred to share capital.

 
(c)
Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants issued in conjunction with stock issuances under private placement using the fair value method.  Under this method, the value of warrants issued is measured at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and recorded as share capital and additional paid-in capital.

 
(d)
Recently accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (ASU No. 2011-04) “Fair Value Measuremen (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. As a result of the new guidance, U.S. GAAP and the IFRSs have the same definition and meaning of fair value and the same substantive disclosure requirements about fair value measurements (with minor differences in wording and style). ASU No. 2011-04 amends Topic 820 in two ways. Specifically, some of the amendments clarify how to apply the existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, while some of the amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements.  ASU No. 2011-04 and IFRS 13 do not extend the use of fair value accounting, but rather provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or the IFRS.  ASU No. 2011-04 supersedes much of the guidance in ASC Topic 820, but also clarifies existing guidance and changes certain wording in order to align ASC Topic 820 with IFRS 13. IFRS 13 provides, for the first time, a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement requirements, disclosure requirements, and related guidance for use across the IFRSs.  The Company’s adoption of this policy will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2011-05 (ASU No 2011-05), “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option that permits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity and requires presenting components of net income and comprehensive income in either a one-statement approach with totals for both net income and comprehensive income, or a two-statement approach where a statement presenting the components of net income and total net income must be immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. The guidance provided in ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill& Other” (ASU-2011-08). The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 include examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, however the examples are not intended to be all-inclusive and an entity my identify other relevant events and circumstances to consider in making the determination. The examples in this ASU 2011-08 supersede the previous examples under ASC Topic 350 of events and circumstances an entity should consider in determining whether it should test for impairment between annual tests, and also supersede the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative should consider in determining whether to perform the second step of the impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit's fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
 
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the
Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations

 
(e)
Comparative figures

Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year. These reclassification had no impact on the company’s balance sheet, results of operations, stockholder’s equity of cash flows.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 
(f)
Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company incurred a net loss of $2,915,390 during the six month period ended August 31, 2011, and an accumulated deficit of $4,309,750 since inception. The Company changed its principal business to the development and exploitation of mineral properties in October 2010, but has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.  If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and or a debt financing.  However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
 
3.  Note Receivable

The Company loaned under the terms of promissory notes date March 15, 2011and May 25, 2011, the aggregate sum of $350,000 to Metallum Resources plc (“Metallum”) to provide working capital prior to the closing of the Company’s proposed acquisition of Metallum.  The promissory note includes the provision of a security interest in the undertakings and properties of Metallum and 14% interest payable monthly. The promissory note is due and payable the earlier of one year and one day after issuance or 120 days after termination of the acquisition agreement with Metallum (see Note 7(d)).  In the case of termination of  the acquisition agreement by Metallum, Metallum shall immediately pay a penalty of up to $125,000 to the Company in addition to the principal outstanding plus any accrued interest thereon. As at August 31, 2011, the Company has accrued $19,734 as interest receivable under these notes.

(a)
Huicicila Claims - Mexico
 
On November 10, 2010, the Company. signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fairfields Gold S.A. de CV.  Fairfields owns an option to acquire 100% of the Huicicila gold claims in Nayarit Mexico (see Note 7(b)). The Huicicila claims host several high-grade gold-silver veins which have had historical production.  Since acquiring the property, the Company has determined that these veins form part of a larger porphyry gold-copper system.  Since the acquisition at December 31, 2010, the company has conducted an exploration program to determine the extent of this mineralized porphyry system with the objective of developing drill targets for testing.
 
 
(b)
Watabeag & Russell Creek Claims – Ontario, Canada
 
On October 1, 2010 the Company and Victoria Gold Corp. entered into an option agreement (see Note 6(a)) covering 16 gold mining claims in the Province of Ontario.  Under the option agreement, the Company has the right to acquire Victoria Gold Corp.’s ownership interest in eight (8) mining claims located in Currie Township, Timmins Mining District, Ontario known as the Watabeag property and eight (8) mining claims located in Bowman Township, Timmins Mining District, Ontario known as the Russell Creek property.
 
The Watabeag  property comprises a total of 131 hectares and is located approximately 60km east of Timmins, Ontario.  Exploration on the property began in 1973 with additional drilling in the 80’s.  Four overburden holes were drilled in 1980 to follow up anomalous gold values. An additional 11 overburden holes were completed in 1981 to define two anomalies with well defined head and tail features. The initial drill hole intersected mixed dacite and feldspar with a brecciated and altered zone assaying 8.9g/t Au across a 0.9m interval.
 
The Russell Creek property is a total of 128 hectares and is located approximately 70 kilometers east of Timmins.  Minor exploration for gold commenced in 1980 when Asarco (Cook Joint Venture) completed ground magnetic and EM surveys in the area of two weak airborne EM conductors. The surveys defined a north west trending fault structure along Russell Creek.

Share issuances, returns and cancellations during the six month period ended August 31, 2011

During the six month period ended August 31, 2011, the Company received and approved subscriptions for 4,410,750 units at $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,764,300 less cash issue costs of $66,580 by way of private placement. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half non-transferable share purchase warrant that entitled the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.50 per share for a period of one year.
 
The net proceeds of the financing of $1,679,720 was allocated on a relative fair value basis as $1,444,653 to common shares and $235,067 to warrants.  The fair value of each warrant issued was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 1.0 to 1.25 years; volatility of 84 - 88%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 0.18 – 0.23%.
 
In connection with this private placement, the Company's agents received a selling commission of $66,580 of the proceeds of the units sold and 166,450 warrants to purchase an additional share of the Company’s stock for a period of one to three years at $0.40 per share.  The fair value of the 166,450 warrants was $41,002.

(c)
Stock options

The Company has an incentive share option plan (the "Plan") that it adopted February 7, 2011, that allows it to grant incentive stock options to its officers, directors, employees and other persons associated with the Company.  The Plan is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing those persons who have a substantial responsibility for its management and growth with additional incentive and by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to maintain their relationships with the Company.  Further, the availability and offering of stock options and common stock under the Plan supports and increases the Company's ability to attract and retain individuals of exceptional talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company depends.  The Board reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.  As of the fiscal year end, February 28, 2011, the Board had granted options to purchase 6,400,000 shares of common stock at $.50 per share to 7 persons.

At August 31, 2011, only 2,500,000 of the 6,400,000 stock options granted were exercisable.  The fair value of the vested stock options was $687,192.  The fair value of vested stock options outstanding at February 28, 2011 is calculated on the difference between the exercise prices of the underlying options and the fair market value of the Company’s  common stock as determined by reference to private placement of the Company’s shares of common stock at the reporting date of February 25, 2011 being $0.40.

As the Company does not have historical experience to estimate the expected life of options, the Company used the project development life of its Huicicila concession as its estimate.  The $0.28 fair value of each stock option grant in the year ended February 28, 2011 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 2.5 years; volatility of 141%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 0.95%.  The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $906,100 in the six month period ended August 31, 2011 (2010 - $nil) for options based on a twelve month service period from January 1, 2011.  The Company has $604,067 in remaining stock based compensation that will be amortized monthly over the remaining four months during the year ended February 2012.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at US$0.50 per share for a period of one year subject to acceleration provisions and with a cashless exercise provision based upon the 20 day volume weighted average price per share at closing day (VWAP) the day prior to exercise. Holders of warrants electing cashless exercise will receive that number of shares equal to the 20 day VWAP minus $0.50 divided by the 20 day VWAP multiplied by the number of warrants held.
 
During the six month period ended August 31, 2011, the Company approved unit subscriptions and warrant commissions for an aggregate of 166,640 Class A warrants and 2,205,375 Class A warrants as part of a private placement of units.

Acquisition of Metallum Resources PLC.

On February 23, 2011, the Company entered into definitive acquisition agreement whereby the Company's to be created, wholly-owned subsidiary, Focus Celtic Gold Corporation, will purchase all outstanding shares of Metallum, a gold and base metals explorer with a focus in Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Scotland. Metallum, founded in 2006, is an unlisted public company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will purchase all of Metallum's outstanding shares (currently 73,812,457 shares) at a price of GBP £0.10 per share through the issuance of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued at the Agreement's closing will be calculated by multiplying GBP £0.10 (as at August 31, US $0.16) by the GBP/USD exchange rate on the day of closing, divided by the average closing price of the Company’s shares on the OTCBB for the 10-day period ended five trading days prior to the closing date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Focus Gold is an exploration stage issuer focused on the acquisition and development of gold mining properties, primarily in the Americas.  Focus Gold left shell company status in October 2010 when it acquired an option on 16 mining claims in the Canadian Province of Ontario from Victoria Gold Corporation.  On December 31, 2010, Focus Gold acquired an option on the Huicicila gold project in Nayarit, Mexico.  Since February 2011, Focus Gold expanded its holdings of mining claims by acquiring five additional gold and silver mining claims adjacent to the Huicicila gold project in Nayarit, Mexico.  Management expects the 32,739 hectares in Nayarit, Mexico to have near term exploration opportunities that will lead to reserves in the next 12-24 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical Accounting Policies

The selection and application of accounting policies is an important process that has developed as our business activities have evolved and as the accounting rules have changed.  Accounting rules generally do not involve a selection among alternatives, but involve an implementation and interpretation of existing rules, and the use of judgment, to the specific set of circumstances existing in our business.  Discussed below are the accounting policies that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported.  See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of those policies.

Mineral Properties, Leases and Exploration and Development Costs

The Company accounts for mineral properties in accordance with ASC 930: Extractive Activities-Mining.  Costs of acquiring mineral properties and leases are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated.  Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.

The Company accounts for mineral exploration and development costs in accordance with ASC 932: Extractive Activities.  All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned.  Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

 
18

 
Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refunded to the Company are credited to the capitalized cost of the mineral property or to exploration costs as applicable. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the mineral property or the exploration costs incurred, the excess is recognized as income in the year received.

The amounts shown for mineral properties do not necessarily represent present or future values.  Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation to employees as required by ASC 718: Compensation-Stock Compensation and stock based compensation to nonemployees as required by ASC 505-50: Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Stock awards have been valued at fair value using recent share issuance prices for cash, in arms-length transactions .  Options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The offset to the recorded stock based compensation cost is to additional paid-in capital. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and additional paid-in capital and the related additional paid-in capital is transferred to share capital.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risks Relating to Our Business,” “Description of Business” and elsewhere in this document. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Results of Operations – Comparison of the Three Month Period Ended August 31, 2011 and 2010

We generated no revenues for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 or 2010.  Total expenses increased to $1,276,885 in the three month period ended August 31, 2011 compared to the amount of $47,910 recorded for the three month period ended august 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s entering into the exploration stage in October 2010 and its commensurate commencement of active operations, with no similar prior period activities, and is reflected in the following items:

  
Exploration expense was $242,889 for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the prior year.  This expense is attributable to the recommencement of exploration activities on our optioned claims in Mexico.  These activities consisted of geologist fees, equipment rental, road building tunnelling and mining and assay costs.
  
General and Administrative expenses increased by $986,086, for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 as compared to the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to the overall increase in spending associated with becoming an active company in the exploration stage. The components of General and Administrative expenses are:

o  
Consulting expenses was $98,584 for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared to $nil during the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of consultants to assist the development and support of its business activities.

o  
Management fees and salaries increased by $209,194, for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared with the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to engaging Grant White as president and CEO and to the engagement of additional directors, managers in our Mexico operations and support staff.
 
 
19

 
 
o  
Legal and professional expenses increased approximately 59%, or $25,736, for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared to the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to tax accounting and compliance costs and the increased costs of audit and review of our financial statements.
 
o  
Depreciation expense was $477 for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  This expense is attributable to minor office equipment acquisitions.
 
o  
Stock based compensation expense was $453,050 for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  This expense is attributable to the granting of stock options to directors, officers in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 and the amortization of resultant stock based compensation expenses.
 
  
Other income and expenses for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 totalled $80,029, composed of $26,749 from the amortization of the discount record mineral option payment liabilities, with no comparable other expenses in the three month period ended August 31, 2010 and $65,631of interest and finance fees with no comparable expenses in the three month period ended August 31, 2010.  Management expects the amount of other expense related to the amortization of the discount record mineral property option liabilities will continue through to the year ended 2014.  In addition, other income and expenses includes $12,351 of interest income arising from the Company’s loan advance to Metallum plc., with no comparable expense in the three month period ended August 31, 2010.

Management does not believe the percentage increases in expenses is indicative of future increases.  Until the Company engages in exploration activities for a sufficient time to include comparable prior year periods, management is unable to predict the anticipated increases in expenses.

Results of Operations – Comparison of the Six Month Period Ended August 31, 2011 and 2010

We generated no revenues for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 or 2010.  Total expenses increased to $2,815,907 in the six month period ended August 31, 2011 compared to the amount of $102,862 recorded for the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s entering into the exploration stage in October 2010 and its commensurate commencement of active operations, with no similar prior period activities, and is reflected in the following items:

  
Exploration expense was $771,767 for the six month period ended August 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the prior year.  This expense is attributable to the recommencement of exploration activities on our optioned claims in Mexico.  These activities consisted of geologist fees, equipment rental, road building, tunnelling and mining and assay costs.
  
General and Administrative expenses increased by $1,941,278, for the six month period ended August 31, 2011 as compared the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to the overall increase in spending associated with becoming an active company in the exploration stage. The components of General and Administrative expenses are:

o  
Consulting expenses was $222,084 for the six month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared to $nil for the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of consultants to assist the development and support of the Company’s business activities.

o  
Management fees and salaries increased by $405,076, for the six month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared with the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to engaging Grant White as president and CEO and to the engagement of additional directors, managers in our Mexico operations and support staff.
 
o  
Legal and professional expenses increased approximately 12% or $11,031, for the six month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared to the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to tax accounting and compliance costs and the increased costs of audit and review of our financial statements.
 
o  
Depreciation expense was $889 for the six month period ended August 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This expense is attributable to minor office equipment acquisitions.
 
o  
Stock based compensation expense was $906,100 for the six month period ended August 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  This expense is attributable to the granting of stock options to directors, officers in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 and the amortization of resultant stock based compensation expenses.  Management expects to record the amount of $604,065 of stock based compensation over the period from September 1 through approximately January 15, 2012.
 
  
Other income and expenses for the six month period ended August 31, 2011 totalled $99,482 composed of $53,586 from the amortization of the discount record mineral option payment liabilities, with no comparable other expenses in the six month period ended August 31, 2010 and $65,631 of interest and financial fees with no comparable expenses in the six month period ended August 31, 2010.  Management expects the amount of other expense related to the amortization of the discount record mineral property option liabilities will continue through to the year ended 2014.  In addition other income and expenses includes $19,734 of interest income arising from its loan advance to Metallum plc., with no comparable expense in the six month period ended August 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Although incorporated in 2005, Focus Gold began its current operations in October 2010, and has not as yet attained a level of operations which allows it to meet its current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations until year end 2014, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, infrastructure, and significant exploration and support costs, so that we can increase our property position in Mexico and other parts of the world and achieve a level of mineral reserves to justify mineral development and later production on our properties or properties in which we have interests. While Focus Gold has funded its initial operations with private placements of equity, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

As of August 31, 2011, the Company’s cash balance was $7,760. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as well as short term payments under contracts as of August 31, 2011 totaled $1,023,687. The Company’s working capital as at August 31, 2011 was a deficit of $366,729.
 
During the six month period ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, our sole means of meeting our cash flow requirements was through the sale of our common stock and loans, advances or donations from directors and officers. In the six month period ended August 31, 2011 we generated net proceeds of $1,697,720 from the sale of stock, (2010 - $nil) and  received $nil (2010 - $2,871) of capital contributions and donated services from directors or officers of the Company.  The net proceeds from these stock offerings and contributions were used to satisfy operations requirements and to conduct exploration activities on the Company’s mineral properties in Mexico.

Pursuant to our agreements under which we acquired our option in the Watebeag and Russell Creek properties, we are obligated to undertake exploration work on the property in the amount of $2,000,000 before the third anniversary date of the agreement, October 1, 2013.  In addition, under agreements entered into by our subsidiary Fairfields, since our acquisition of Fairfields on December 31, 2010, we have committed to pay all fees and costs to maintain the underlying claims as well as necessary assessment work and the payment of mineral option payments totaling $1,000,000 through February 2014.  We anticipate that similar fees will be payable each year so long as we maintain our interest in the claims and leases and the payment of $400,000 yearly under the option agreement for the purchase of the Huicicila claims in Mexico.

Other Activities:

The Company is actively looking for acquisitions and joint venture opportunities which can build out its portfolio of mining properties.

Contractual Obligations

There are no contractual obligations other than those described in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended August 31, 2011.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

There are no off balance sheet arrangements.
