1.

Basis of Presentation

     

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.

     

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and is unlikely generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,099,418 and has accumulated losses of $5,199,246 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

     
2.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the applicable standard on June 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

     

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and 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.

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

    Forward Looking Statements

    This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including "could", "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.

    While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this report.

    Business Overview

    We are building a portfolio of companies and technologies that mitigate negative environmental and health consequences that arise from the production of energy and the consumption of resources. On November 2, 2007, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., we entered into a technology assignment agreement with 0798465 BC Ltd. whereby we acquired 100% ownership of an invention for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide.

    Our mission is to develop and commercialize alternative energy technologies and services to enable the sustainable consumption, production and management of resources on residential, commercial and industrial scales. We plan to develop or acquire technologies and services which include electrical power system monitoring technology, wind farm electricity generation, online retail of environmental sustainability solutions through a carbon reduction marketplace, and media solutions to promote awareness of corporate actions that support the environment. To carry out our business strategy we intend to acquire or license from third parties technologies that require further development before they can be brought to market. We also intend to develop such technologies ourselves, and we anticipate that to complete commercialization of some technologies we will enter into joint ventures, partnerships, or other strategic relationships with third parties who have expertise that we may require. We also plan to enter into formal relationships with consultants, contractors, retailers and manufacturers who specialize in the areas of environmental sustainability in order to carry out our online retail strategy.

    Results of Operations for the Period From January 22, 2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2010 and for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2010.

    We have had limited operational history since our inception on January 22, 2007. From our inception on January 22, 2007 to August 31, 2010 we have generated $19,898 in revenues. For the three months ended August 31, 2010 we did not generate revenues compared to revenues generated of $13,798 during the same period in 2009. Since our inception on January 22, 2007 to August 31, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of $5,199,246. We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses over the next year and our ability to generate additional revenues in the next 12 months remains uncertain.

    Expenses

    We accumulated total expenses of $5,244,760 from the date of our inception to August 31, 2010, including $418,206 in research and development costs, $819,451 in management fees, $665,703 in professional fees, $580,244 in shareholder communications and awareness and $451,904 in consulting and advisory expenses.

    For the three months ended August 31, 2010, we incurred total expenses of $149,111 including $48,564 in management fees, $18,792 in consulting and advisory, $8,845 in professional fees, $470 in shareholder communications and awareness, and $31,295 in wages and benefits.

    5


    By comparison, our total operating expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2009 were $408,546 including $62,244 in research and development costs, $52,621 in management fees, $48,659 in professional fees, $83,821 in shareholder communications and awareness, and $28,041 in consulting and advisory expenses.

    Net Loss

    Since our inception on January 22, 2007 to August 31, 2010, we have incurred a net loss of $5,199,246. For the three months ended August 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $155,276 compared to our net loss of $411,776 for the same period in 2009. Our net loss per share for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $Nil and for the same period in 2009 was $0.02.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of August 31, 2010, we had $10,226 cash in our bank accounts and a working capital deficit of $1,099,418. As of August 31, 2010, we had total assets of $85,945 and total liabilities of $1,119,472.

    From January 22, 2007 (date of inception) to August 31, 2010, we raised net proceeds of $2,586,984 in cash from the issuance of common stock, $66,078 from loans payable and $250,000 from proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures for a total of $2,903,062 of cash provided by financing activities for the period.

    We received net cash of $88,200 from financing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2010 compared to $193,544 for the same period in 2009.

    We used net cash of $82,299 in operating activities for the three months ended August 31, 2010 compared to $196,864 for the same period in 2009. We used net cash of $2,737,201 in operating activities for the period from January 22, 2007 (date of inception) to August 31, 2010.

    We did not use any cash in investing activities for the three months August 31, 2010 and for the three months August 31, 2009.

    During the three months ended August 31, 2010 we had an increase of $5,901 in our cash position compared to a decrease of $3,320 for the same period in 2009. Our monthly cash requirements for three month period ended August 31, 2010 was approximately $27,433 compared to $65,621 for the same period in 2009. At our current cash position and if this cash requirement continues, we do not have sufficient cash to cover our expenses for one month.

    On October 16, 17 and 28, 2008, we issued three convertible debentures for total proceeds of $250,000 which bear interest at 10% per annum, are unsecured and due one year from date of issuance. The unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest can be converted at any time at the holder’s option into 625,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.40 per share. We also issued 250,000 detachable, non-transferable share purchase warrants. Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock for a period of two years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

    We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations. We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have had to rely on outside capital resources. We do not anticipate making significant revenues for the next year. Over the next 12 months, we plan to primarily concentrate on commercializing our ERC technology and associated projects. Below is a summary of our anticipated expenditures over the next 12 months:

    6



    Description   Estimated expenses  
      ($)  
    Research and Development   275,000  
    Consulting Fees   100,000  
    Acquisition of new technologies   500,000  
    Commercialization of ERC   1,200,000  
    Shareholder communication and awareness   250,000  
    Professional Fees   200,000  
    Wages and Benefits   150,000  
    Management Fees   400,000  
    Total   3,075,000  

    In order to fully carry out our business plan, we need additional financing of approximately $3,075,000 for the next 12 months. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private placement sales of our equity securities or shareholders’ loans. We do not presently have sufficient financing to undertake our planned business activities. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

    We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is 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

    Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 filed in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to allowance for doubtful accounts, the recoverability of intangible and long lived assets, valuation of convertible debt, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

    7


    Long-lived Assets

    In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, we test long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

    Stock-based Compensation

    We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

    We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

    Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

    Not applicable.

    Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

    We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

    We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2010. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the weaknesses identified in our internal controls over financial reporting which were enumerated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended May 31, 2010, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
