Sillenger Exploration Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes To Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
1 Nature of Business
Sillenger Exploration Corp. (“Sillenger” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on February 14, 2007. Sillenger is an exploration stage company and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. During the period ended February 28, 2008, the Company had acquired a 100% interest in three mining claims in the Bulkley mining district of British Columbia, Canada for cash consideration of $379. On May 15, 2009 the Company abandoned the mineral titles and re-staked them in order to reduce exploration costs. The Company’s rights to these claims expired in June 2011.
On May 26, 2010, Sillenger introduced its proprietary CLP Claims Licensing Program which is designed to help governments to provide a fast-track process for issuing the necessary documentation to resource companies. The system helps reduce risk to exploration companies and helps market a country as an attractive investment destination.
On June 1, 2010, Sillenger, through its business partnership with FCMI Global Inc. (“FCMI”), whereby FCMI assigned trademarks, intellectual properties, contracts and agreements to Sillenger in exchange for 5% (percent) of Sillenger’s annual net income per Sillenger’s audited financial statements, entered into a contract with the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to conduct an airborne geophysical survey of certain specific areas of Equatorial Guinea. The survey was to provide the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy of Equatorial Guinea a geological database of the region highlighting the locations where there may be the presence of mineral, hydrocarbon or groundwater deposits, and a preliminary identification of subsurface structures which may present exploration potential, and to identify the likeliest exploration targets within those deposits. In exchange, Sillenger was granted the mineral and hydrocarbon rights to 15% of the claim blocks in the entire area surveyed, as chosen by Sillenger, as well as a preferential right to any other claims that Sillenger desires. The business partnership with FCMI entailed fully reimbursing FCMI for expenses it incurred in negotiating trademarks, intellectual properties, contracts and agreements that were assigned to Sillenger.
On June 11, 2010, Sillenger retained Fugro Airborne Surveys, a subsidiary of Fugro Group, to conduct the airborne geophysical survey of the Rio Muni region of Equatorial Guinea. The survey would have helped to reveal the locations of potential deposits, and provide a detailed reading of the subsurface structures.
In October 2010, the Company entered into negotiations to finance the cost of this survey. As part of these negotiations, Sillenger fully assigned its commitment with Fugro Airborne Surveys to a third party. On April 28, 2011, Sillenger executed an agreement with Ivory Resources Inc. (“Ivory”), Brilliant Mining Corp. (“Brilliant”) and others, whereby Sillenger agreed to accept and receive 7,407,407 units of Brilliant [with a 4 month escrow] in exchange for Ivory acquiring from Sillenger the agreement with the government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, which included certain preferential rights to request mining and/or oil concessions. Each Unit consists of one common share of Brilliant and one Common Share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share of Brilliant upon the payment of $0.45 per Warrant at any time until 24 months following the date of issuance. As part of the agreement, all the assets of FCMI, including the amounts receivable from Sillenger, would be transferred to a newly set up wholly owned subsidiary of Sillenger. On, May 5, 2011, the Company incorporated a fully owned subsidiary in Ontario, Canada. On July 12, 2011 the Company closed its transaction with Ivory, Brilliant and others.
In late July 2011, Sillenger accepted an invitation to travel to Africa to meet with senior government officials in a number of West African countries. The purpose of the trip was to present the Sillenger/Government partnership model for helping to attract foreign capital investment, and to discuss mutually beneficial business development opportunities.
2 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) are denominated in US$ and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with U.S GAAP. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011, may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.
Interim statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s accounts for the fiscal year 2012. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes To Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Sillenger and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Significant accounting policies include:
Investments
The Company has classified its investment as available for sale and recorded it at fair market value and any associated gain or loss, net of tax, is recorded as “other comprehensive income (loss)”.
3 Going Concern
Sillenger has recurring losses and has accumulated operating losses during the exploration stage of $2,878,514 as of August 31, 2011. Sillenger's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Sillenger has not realized any revenues. Without raising additional capital or realization of its investments, there would be substantial doubt about Sillenger’s ability to continue as a going concern. Sillenger's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis, and in the longer term, from revenues from the acquisition and exploration and development of mineral interests, if found. Sillenger's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of mineral interests.
4 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. Entities will be allowed to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position
In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning with its third quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company has early-adopted this guidance.
In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments to fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance amends United States generally accepted accounting principles (―U.S. GAAP) to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in International Financial Reporting Standards (―IFRS). The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This includes clarification of the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S. GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way (for example, using the word ―shall rather than ―should to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP). This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company beginning with its third quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and has not yet determined the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Hierarchy
ASC Topic-820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level l) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are as follows:
Level l - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 includes marketable securities such as listed equities and U.S. government treasury securities.
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using industry standard models or other valuation methodologies. These models consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include over the counter forwards, options and repurchase agreements.
Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored to customers' needs. At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments subject to ASC Topic-820 and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs.
9 Subsequent Events
On September 12, 2011, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 3,500,000 common stock units at a purchase price of $0.05 per unit receiving proceeds of $175,000. Each Unit is comprised of (i) one share of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") and (ii) a two-year ½ warrant to purchase 0.50 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Warrants"). The exercise price applicable to the Warrants is $0.10 per Share. In this closing, a total of 3,500,000 Shares were issued and the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at the exercise price is 1,750,000 in aggregate. As of August 31, 2011, the Company had received subscriptions towards this placement of $141,147. Also in September 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of common stock as compensation for service contracts.
On September 16, 2011, Sillenger entered into an agreement with First African, whereby First African will serve as the Company’s exclusive representative for obtaining, negotiating and performing contracts with countries in Africa and the Middle East, in connection with mining, hydrocarbons, water, and other natural resource projects. The agreement is contingent upon the Company obtaining financing and entering into a contract with a target country, and the Company receiving financing for the performance of the contract.
On September 19, 2011, Sillenger announced that it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to form a partnership with the Government of the Republic of Benin, which has a strong desire to drive its economic growth by developing its mining and oil industries.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward Looking Information
This section includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Business Environment
The disruptions in the credit and financial markets through 2010 and into 2011 have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. While 2011 has seen a lot of political and economic uncertainties in Europe and Middle East, the global economy continues to be somewhat tepid, and it is still difficult for many junior resource companies to obtain financing. These market conditions could continue to make it difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations. Our access to additional capital on the equity markets also may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
On May 26, 2010, Sillenger introduced its proprietary CLP Claims Licensing Program which is designed to help governments to provide a fast-track process for issuing the necessary documentation to resource companies. The system helps reduce risk to exploration companies and helps market a country as an attractive investment destination.
On June 1, 2010, Sillenger, through its business partnership with FCMI Global Inc., (“FCMI”) whereby FCMI assigned trademarks, intellectual properties, contracts and agreements to Sillenger in exchange for 5% (percent) of Sillenger’s annual net income per Sillenger’s audited financial statements, entered into a contract with the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to conduct an airborne geophysical survey of certain specific areas of Equatorial Guinea.

In exchange, Sillenger was granted the mineral and hydrocarbon rights to 15% of the claim blocks in the entire area surveyed, as chosen by Sillenger, as well as a preferential right to any other claims that Sillenger desires. The business partnership with FCMI entailed fully reimbursing FCMI for expenses it incurred in negotiating trademarks, intellectual properties, contracts and agreements that were assigned to Sillenger.
On June 11, 2010, Sillenger retained Fugro Airborne Surveys, a subsidiary of Fugro Group, to conduct the airborne geophysical survey of the Rio Muni region of Equatorial Guinea. The survey would have helped to reveal the locations of potential deposits, and provide a detailed reading of the subsurface structures.
In October 2010, the Company entered into negotiations to finance the cost of this survey. As part of these negotiations, Sillenger fully assigned its commitment with Fugro Airborne Surveys to a third party. On April 28, 2011, Sillenger executed an agreement with Ivory Resources, Brilliant Mining and others, whereby Sillenger agreed to accept and receive 7,407,407 units of Brilliant [with a 4 month escrow] in exchange for Ivory acquiring from Sillenger the agreement with the government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, which included certain preferential rights to request mining and/or oil concessions. Each Unit consists of one common share of Brilliant and one Common Share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share of Brilliant upon the payment of $0.45 per Warrant at any time until 24 months following the date of issuance. As part of the agreement, all the assets of FCMI Global Inc., including the amounts receivable from Sillenger Exploration Corp., would be transferred to a newly set up wholly owned subsidiary of Sillenger. On, May 5, 2011, the Company incorporated a fully owned subsidiary in Ontario, Canada. On July 12, 2011 the Company closed its transaction with Ivory Resources, Brilliant Mining and others.
In early August 2011, Sillenger accepted an invitation to travel to Africa to meet with senior government officials in a number of West African countries. The purpose of the trip was to present the Sillenger/Government partnership model for helping to attract foreign capital investment, and to discuss mutually beneficial business development opportunities.

The agreement is contingent upon the Company obtaining financing and entering into a contract with a target country, and the Company receiving financing for the performance of the contract.
On September 19, 2011, Sillenger announced that it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to form a partnership with the Government of the Republic of Benin, which has a strong desire to drive its economic growth by developing its mining and oil industries.
Looking at the year ahead, management believes, Brilliant transaction along with the MOU with Government of the Republic of Benin serves as an endorsement of Sillenger’s business plan, and enables Sillenger to replicate a proven concept for the next countries with which the Company is pursuing partnerships
Sillenger will need to seek additional funding to continue pursuing its business plan.
Subsequent Events
On September 12, 2011, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 3,500,000 common stock units at a purchase price of $0.05 per unit receiving proceeds of $175,000. Each Unit is comprised of (i) one share of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") and (ii) a two-year ½ warrant to purchase 0.50 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Warrants"). The exercise price applicable to the Warrants is $0.10 per Share. In this closing, a total of 3,500,000 Shares were issued and the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at the exercise price is 1,750,000 in aggregate. As of August 31, 2011, the Company had received subscriptions towards this placement of $141,147.
Also in September 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of common stock as compensation for service contracts.
Results of Operation
For the quarters ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010, and the period from February 14, 2007 (inception) to August 31, 2011:
Financial Condition and Liquidity
REVENUE – Sillenger has not generated revenue from its business operations and does not expect to generate any revenue in the near future.
COMMON STOCK –As of the date of August 31, 2011 Sillenger has 51,211,000 common shares issued and outstanding.
LIQUIDITY – At August 31, 2011, Sillenger had current assets of $354,433 consisting of cash and prepaid expenses ($509 – February 28, 2011, consisting of cash). Sillenger had $946,460 in liabilities consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable ($2,737,891 – February 28, 2011, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities).
Sillenger' internal sources of liquidity will be loans that may be available to Sillenger from management. Although Sillenger has no written arrangements with any of directors and officers, Sillenger expects that the directors and officers will provide Sillenger with internal sources of liquidity, if it is required.
There are no assurances that Sillenger will be able to achieve further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing. If Sillenger is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then Sillenger will not be able to continue its exploration programs and its business will fail.
Expenses
SUMMARY – Total expenses were $571,374 for the six month period ended August 31, 2011 ($710,455 – August 31, 2010). Expenses have decreased as compared to the same period last year by $139,081. A total of $3,271,605 in expenses has been incurred by Sillenger since inception on February14, 2007 through to August 31, 2011. The higher costs in the prior year as compared to the current year is primarily related to Sillenger’s transformation into a natural resource development company in the prior year dedicated to bringing a progressive and creative approach to natural resource management and exploration. The costs can be subdivided into the following categories.
1.
|
General and administrative: these primarily consultant expenses , office supplies and telecommunication expenses. $116,971 of administrative expenses were incurred for the six month period as compared to $355,912 for the same period last year while a total of $1,116,198 was incurred in the period from inception on February 14, 2007 to August 31, 2011.
|
2.
|
Travel: $33,033 of travel expenses were incurred for the six month period as compared to $140,165 for the same period last year while a total of $608,969 was incurred in the period from inception on February 14, 2007 to August 31, 2011.
|
3.
|
Marketing and business development: $126,115 of business development expenses were incurred for the six month period as compared to $88,500 for the same period last year while a total of $790,823 was incurred in the period from inception on February 14, 2007 to August 31, 2011.
|
4.
|
Professional fees: These primarily consist of legal, accounting and audit fees. $295,285 of professional fees were incurred for the six month period as compared to $125,878 for the same period last year while a total of $755,615 was incurred in the period from inception on February 14, 2007 to August 31, 2011.
|
Sillenger continues to carefully control its expenses and overall costs as it transforms into a natural resource development company.
Plan of Operations
Our business plan up until April 2010 was to proceed with the exploration of the Bulkley claims to determine whether there are commercially exploitable reserves of base and precious metals. Beginning in May 2010, we have concentrated our focus on pursuing opportunities in African countries.
We will also need to seek additional funding to pursue the new ventures in Africa identified by our new President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. John Gillespie. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund new projects identified in Africa. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding any potential projects in Africa or elsewhere. The risky nature of these enterprises and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as an economically viable mine or project can be demonstrated. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
• our ability to raise additional funding;
• the market price for precious metals;
• the results of our proposed exploration programs on the mineral property; and
