(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
 

1. Organization

Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Mariposa Resources, Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 31, 2006 in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. It is based in Miami, Florida, USA. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.

Effective November 30, 2010, the Company changed its name to “Lithium Exploration Group, Inc.,” by way of a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name.

The Company is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties. Prior to June 25, 2009, the Company had the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A. On July 31, 2009, the Company acquired an option to enter into a joint venture for the management and ownership of the Jack Creek Project, a mining project located in Elko County, Nevada. On September 25, 2009, the joint venture was terminated and the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada. On December 16, 2010, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral permits located in the Province of Alberta, Canada (see Note 5). To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, the raising of equity capital and its mining exploration work program.

Exploration Stage Company

The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage as defined in FASC 915-10-05 “Development Stage Entities,” and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to development of business plans and the acquisition of mineral properties.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with original maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $0 and $441 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Start-Up Costs

In accordance with FASC 720-15-20 “Start-Up Costs,” the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 31, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Net Income or (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company has adopted FASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

Foreign Currency Translations

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded from inception (May 31, 2006) to December 31, 2010.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

FASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. From inception (May 31, 2006) to December 31, 2010, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (May 31, 2006) to December 31, 2010.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Environmental Expenditures

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements that are listed below did not, and are not currently expected to, have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, but will be implemented in the Company’s future financial reporting when applicable.

FASB Statements:

In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

FASB Statements - Continued

“FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)," and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162," were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-01 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

3. Capital Stock

Authorized Stock

At inception, the Company authorized 100,000,000 common shares and 100,000,000 preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.

Effective April 8, 2009, the Company increased the number of authorized shares to 600,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as common stock par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Share Issuances

Effective April 30, 2009, the Company effected a 10 for 1 forward split of its common stock, under which each stockholder of record on that date received ten (10) new shares of the Corporation’s $0.001 par value stock for every one (1) old share outstanding.

Since its inception (May 31, 2006), the Company has issued shares of its common stock as follows, retroactively adjusted to give effect to the 10 for 1 forward split:

                Price Per        
Date   Description     Shares     Share     Amount  
                         
06/06/06   Shares issued for cash     20,000,000     $0.001     $  20,000

12/11/06   Shares issued for cash     17,375,000     0.004     69,500  
                         
    Cumulative Totals     47,375,000         $  99,500

3. Capital Stock - Continued

Of these shares, 30,000,000 were issued to directors and officers of the Company and 17,375,000 were issued to independent investors. There are no preferred shares outstanding. The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.

4. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under FASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.

Exploration stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carryforwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carryforwards generated during the period from May 31, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010 of $238,685 will begin to expire in 2026. Accordingly, deferred tax assets of approximately $83,500 were offset by the valuation allowance that increased by approximately $18,000 and $35,500 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASC 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company has no tax position at December 31, 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2010. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended exploration stage activities.

5. Mineral Property Costs

Mineral Claims, Clinton Mining District

On September 25, 2009, and amended June 24, 2010, the Company entered into an Option Agreement under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District, Province of British Columbia, Canada (the “Claims”), which Claims total in excess of 3,900 hectares, in consideration of the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company on or before December 31, 2010. The Claims are subject to a two percent net smelter royalty which can be paid out for the sum of $1,000,000 (CAD). The Company can earn an undivided 50% interest in the Claims by carrying out a $100,000 (CAD) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before December 31, 2010, plus an additional $200,000 (CAD) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before September 25, 2011.

In the event that the Company acquires an interest in the Claims, the Company and the Optionor have further agreed, at the request of either party, to negotiate a joint venture agreement for further exploration and development of the Claims. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not issued any stock or carried out any exploration or development programs. On February 14, 2011, we sent notice to the Optionor to terminate the option agreement.

Mineral Permit

On December 16, 2010, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement to acquire the following

  a.)

An undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral permits located in the Province of Alberta, Canada.

  b.)

All of the assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Option Agreement.

In consideration for the Assignment, the Company agreed to pay US$90,000 by way of cash or stock of equal value (consisting of amounts previously paid by the Assignor pursuant to the Option Agreement). The full $90,000 (consisting of option payments ‘i’ and ‘vi’ below) was expensed and included in the December 31, 2010 accounts payable balance. The Option shall be in good standing and exercisable by the Company by paying the following amounts on or before the dates specified in the following schedule:

  i.)

CDN $40,000 (paid) upon execution of the agreement;

  ii.)

CDN $60,000 on or before January 1, 2012;

  iii.)

CDN $100,000 on or before January 1, 2013;

  iv.)

CDN $300,000 on or before January 1, 2014; and

  v.)

Paying all such property payments as may be required to maintain the mineral permits in good standing.

  vi.)

The Optionee shall provide a refundable amount of CDN$50,000 (paid) to the Optionor by November 2, 2010, which shall be applied by the Optionor towards work assessment expenses acceptable to the Government of Alberta, with any unused portion to be applied against payments required to maintain the permits underlying the property in good standing.

6. Due to Related Party

As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company was obligated to a director, who is also an officer and stockholder, for a non-interest bearing demand loan with a balance of $47,537 and $36,799, respectively. The Company plans to pay the loan back as cash flows become available.

7. Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $139,185 and an accumulated deficit of $238,685. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development and sale of ore reserves.

In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Corporate Overview

We were incorporated on May 31, 2006 under the name Mariposa Resources, Ltd. in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The company is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

Effective November 30, 2010, we changed our name to Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name.

We are an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties. Prior to June 25, 2009, we had the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA. On July 31, 2009, we acquired an option to enter into a joint venture for the management and ownership of the Jack Creek Project, a mining project located in Elko County, Nevada. On September 25, 2009, the joint venture was terminated and we entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., under which our company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada. On February 14, 2011 we sent notice to Beeston to terminate the option agreement.

On December 16, 2010, we entered into an assignment agreement to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral permits located in the Province of Alberta, Canada. To date, our activities have been limited to our formation, the raising of equity capital and its mining exploration work program.

On January 18, 2011, we entered into a purchase option agreement with Salta Water Co. and we have acquired a 60% interest on the Salta Aqua claims in Salta Province, Argentina. We have a further option to acquire the remaining 40% interest from Salta Water.

The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception. We have minimal assets and have achieved no operating revenues since our inception. We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations. Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations.

Plan of Operation

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing. Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $129,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.

Description

Estimated
Completion
Date
Estimated
Expenses
($)
General and administrative 12 months 24,000
Mining expenses 12 months 100,000
Professional fees 12 months 5,000
Total   $129,000

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing by way of private placements. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2006. We were formed to engage in the search for mineral deposits or reserves. We conducted preliminary exploration activities on certain properties in Esmeralda County, Nevada on which we held certain mining claims. On September 25, 2009, amended June 24, 2010, we were granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada, representing 3,900 hectares. On February 14, 2011 we sent notice to Beeston to terminate the option agreement related to the mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District.

We recently decided to refocus our business strategy towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. We intend to explore various business opportunities that have the potential to generate positive revenue, profits and cash flow in order to financially accommodate the costs of being a publicly held company.

We have minimal operating costs and expenses at the present time due to our limited business activities. However, because of our limited cash in the bank, we will be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our ongoing expenses, including our costs related to the remaining required payments under the assignment agreement, as entered into on December 16, 2010 and the purchase option agreement, as entered into on January 18, 2011.

Further, we may raise capital in connection with or in anticipation of possible acquisition transactions. We do not currently engage in any product research and development and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We have no present plans to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We also have no present plans to add employees, although we may do so in the future if we engage in any merger or acquisition transactions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Inflation

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with original maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. We had $0 and $441 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

We have been in the exploration stage since our formation on May 31, 2006 and have not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Risks and Uncertainties

Our company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

7


Environmental Expenditures

The operations of our company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon our company vary greatly and are not predictable. Our policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.
