Pediment Gold Corp.

(Formerly Pediment Exploration Ltd.)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Canadian Dollars)

For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, 2009




1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Pediment Gold Corp (the “Company”) is governed under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is a natural resource company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and development and ultimately is working towards commercial production of gold and silver in Mexico.  


On February 25, 2009, the Company changed its name from Pediment Exploration Ltd. to Pediment Gold Corp.  As of March 2, 2009, the Company’s shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).


The Company reported a net loss of $3,711,359 (2009 - $3,474,228) for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and has an accumulated deficit of $51,161,479 as at June 30, 2010 (2009 - $45,929,541).  As at June 30, 2010, the Company had $12,104,458 (2009 - $15,360,032) in working capital, which is sufficient working capital to fund its 2010 operating and exploration expenditures and to continue its operations through fiscal 2011.  The Company relies on financing through the issuance of additional shares of its common stock until such time as it achieves sustained profitability through profitable mining operations, or the receipt of proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.  


2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and follow the same accounting policies and methods consistent with those used in preparation of the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements except as noted below.  The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and note disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(b)

Future changes in accounting policies (Continued)


(i)

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")


In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") confirmed that January 1, 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  The IFRS standards will be effective for the Company for interim and annual financial statements relating to the Company’s fiscal year beginning on or after October 1, 2011.  The effective date of October 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the interim periods and year ended September 30, 2011.  


The Company is performing a detailed analysis of the differences between IFRS and the Company’s accounting policies as well as assessing the impact of various alternatives..  The IFRS project plan is being completed in four phases: planning and analysis, identification of changes, solution development and implementation where necessary.


The Company has begun the planning and analysis phase of the transition to IFRS and intends to transition to IFRS financial statements during fiscal 2010.  


The Company is in the preproduction stage and therefore has  adopted accounting policies for preproduction companies..  In a number of cases, the Company will be adopting IFRS as an initial policy, rather than a change from existing policies to IFRS.  The current analysis indicates that there will be very little effect on financial reporting as a result of the adoption of IFRS.


Some of the specific areas reviewed and considered to date are:

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Property, Plant and Equipment:  IFRS requires that the Company identify different components of its fixed assets.  As this has been the Company’s practice, compliance will not result in a change.  Assets have been identified in accordance with their useful lives in order to properly amortize their cost to operations.  


In accordance with normal practices within the mining industry, the estimated life of mine will affect the amortization rates in some categories, and this estimate is subject to change as the mine progresses through production, resulting in revised amortization rates from time to time.


IFRS allows the revaluation of assets at fair value.  The Company will make the election under IFRS and adopt the cost basis for determining the carrying value of equipment.


The carrying costs of the Company’s mineral properties reflects only the costs of acquisition; the carrying value does not reflect the costs of exploration, drilling, evaluation, testing and independent review.  IFRS permits the capitalization of exploration costs prior to the establishment of ore reserves that would support the economic viability of a project.  When it has been established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and an economic analysis has been completed, the costs incurred to develop a mine on the property prior to the start of mining operations are capitalized, which could potentially result in the understatement of the value of certain mineral properties that do reach the development stage.


Contributed Surplus: There are a number of small presentation and disclosure differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS.  The small differences noted are not expected to have a significant difference on the Company.  However, the ‘Contributed Surplus’ should be described as ‘Other reserves’ or ‘Share-based payment reserves’ under IFRS.


Stock-based compensation:  There are a number of differences in accounting for stock-based compensation however the differences depend on the contractual nature of the stock based compensation and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.  No significant impact is expected.


Financial Instruments:  The Company’s current financial instruments are simple and require no analysis.  Should the Company enter into hedging agreements on any future production; the requirements of IFRS will be followed.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Impairment tests:  Impairment tests have been applied on the carrying value of projects on a quarterly basis, as required under Canadian GAAP.  Although the methodology of testing for impairment under IFRS is slightly different, no complications are expected on the transition to IFRS,


Asset Retirement Obligations:  Differences include the basis of estimation for undiscounted cash flows, the discount rate used, the frequency of liability remeasurement and recognition of a liability when a constructive obligation exists.  No material impact is anticipated.


Income Taxes:  An analysis of IFRS requirements will be done when the new standards become available.  With no current revenues or taxable income, and with no anticipated contentious issues regarding the tax value of assets or non-capital losses carried forward, no material impact is anticipated.


Financial Disclosure:  Based on publications to date, none of the requirements to comply with reporting under IFRS presents any foreseeable difficulty.


In summary, an analysis of the requirements for making the transition to IFRS and the subsequent compliance for financial reporting purposes indicates there should not be any difficulty, due to the simplicity of the Company’s current operations and the fact that IFRS will be adopted as initial policy in most cases, rather than a change from an existing policy.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY


Effective October 1, 2009, the Company retrospectively changed its accounting policy for exploration expenditures to more appropriately align itself with policies applied by other comparable companies at a similar stage in the mining industry.  Prior to October 1, 2009, the Company capitalized all such costs to mineral properties held directly or through an investment and only wrote down capitalized costs when the property was abandoned or if the capitalized costs were not considered to be economically recoverable.


Exploration expenditures are now charged to operations as they are incurred until the mineral property reaches the development stage.  Significant costs related to property acquisitions, including allocations for undeveloped mineral interests, are capitalized until the viability of the mineral interest is determined.  When it has been established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and an economic analysis has been completed, the costs incurred to develop a mine on the property prior to the start of mining operations are capitalized.  The impact of this change on the previously reported June 30, 2009 consolidated financial statements is as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)


The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:


(a)

Credit risk


The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents have been placed on deposit with major Canadian financial institutions and major Mexican financial institutions.  The risk arises from the non-performance of counterparties of contracted financial obligations.


The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on amounts receivable.


The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and cash equivalents, by purchasing highly liquid, short-term investment-grade securities held at major financial institutions with strong investment-grade ratings by a primary rating agency in accordance with the Company’s investment policy.  


Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as the majority of the amounts are held with only a few Canadian and Mexican financial institutions. The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto is as follows:


 

June 30,

 2010

September 30, 2009

 

 

 

Held at major Canadian financial institutions:

 

 

Cash

 $  117,317

 $  5,137,947

Cash equivalents

 10,773,000

 10,271,727

 

 

 

 

 10,890,317

 15,409,674

Held at major Mexican financial institutions:

 

 

Cash

 143,565

 

 

 

Total cash and cash equivalents

 $10,946,821

 $15,553,239


Included in cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 are cashable guaranteed investment certificates earning interest between 0.6% and 0.7% (2009 - 2.00% and 3.25%) and maturing at various dates between September 8, 2010 and December 10, 2010 (2009 –

September 8, 2009 and December 10, 2009).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)



(b)

Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in obtaining funds to meet commitments as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.  The Company believes it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 in the amount of $10,946,821 (2009 - $14,603,812) in order to fund its operating and exploration expenditures and to continue its operations through fiscal 2011.   At June 30, 2010, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $245,017 (2009 - $161,208) and amounts due to related parties of $66,397 (2009 - $nil), which will become due for payment within three months.


(c)

Market risk


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


(i)

Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk consists of two components:


(a)

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


(b)

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


The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consists of cash held in bank accounts and guaranteed investment certificates that earn interest at variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values as of June 30, 2010 and 2009.  Future cash flows from interest income on cash and cash equivalents will be affected by interest rate fluctuations.  The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity.

(c)

Market risk (continued)


(ii)

Foreign currency risk


The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that certain monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars.


The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities as a portion of these amounts are denominated in US dollars and Mexican pesos. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.


The sensitivity analysis of the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date has been determined based upon hypothetical changes taking place at June 30, 2010 and 2009, which includes a hypothetical change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso of 9% and 11%, respectively, and the effect on net loss and comprehensive loss.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development and exploration of its mineral properties. The Company defines capital that it manages as cash and cash equivalents.


The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital. The Company does not use other sources of financing that require fixed payments of interest and principal due to lack of cash flow from current operations and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.


Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral properties. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Company monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to manage costs, commitments and exploration activities.  


There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s trading history except where there is insufficient trading history and volatilities are based on industry comparables. When applicable, the Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, employee termination and forfeiture within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximate the full term of the option.
