Item 3.D. Risk Factors
The Company, and the Securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's Securities:
1). RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS
- Regulations: Kokomo’s proposed mineral exploration programs, are subject to extensive federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing such exploration, development and operation of mining activities as well as the protection of the environment, including laws and regulations relating to obtaining permits to mine, protection of air and water quality, hazardous waste management, mine reclamation and the protection of endangered or threatened species.
- Exploration and Development: The resource properties in which the Company has an interest are in the exploration stages only and do not have a known body of commercial ore. Exploration and development of natural resource properties involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities or grades to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.
- Operating Hazards and Risks: Exploration for natural resources involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damages to persons or property and possible environmental damages. Although the Company may obtain liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable against, or the Company might not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.
- Fluctuating Metal Prices: The prices of those commodities have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation or deflation, currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rates fluctuations, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the prices of metals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company's interest in exploration projects, cannot be accurately predicted.
- Environmental Factors: Should the Company decide to conduct any mineral exploration works then all phases of the Company's mineral exploration works shall be subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.
- Competition: The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its respective phases, and the Company competes with many companies possessing much greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Company. As such, competition is adversely affecting the Company's ability to acquire suitable mineral exploration properties at reasonable prices.
- Management: The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.
- Dilution: There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.
- Revenues and Dividends: In the past, the Company used to generate some revenues and does not anticipate generating any revenues in the near future. Consequently, if the Company requires additional funds for the exploration and development of its interests in mineral properties or for operating capital purposes, or for acquiring interests in other mineral properties, the Company will have to seek equity or debt financing which may or may not be available. Furthermore, the Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. In the event of generating any earnings, the Company expects to retain its earnings to finance further growth and, when appropriate, retire debt.
- Requirement of New Capital: As a company without any revenues, the Company typically needs more capital than it has available to it or can expect to generate through the sale of its assets. In the past, the Company has had to raise, by way of debt and equity financings, considerable funds to meet its capital needs. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds needed for its business. Failure to raise the necessary funds in a timely fashion will limit the Company's growth.
- U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations: The Company is classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") for U.S. Federal Income Tax purposes. Classification as a PFIC will create U.S. Tax consequences to a U.S. shareholder of the Company that are unique to the PFIC provisions and that are not encountered in other investments. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of the Company.
- Penny Stock: The Company's securities are deemed to be Penny Stocks and are therefore subject to Penny Stock rules as defined in Rule 3a(51)(1) of the 1934 Exchange Act. The Penny Stock disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of the Company's securities in the secondary market. Penny Stocks are low-priced shares of small companies not traded on a U.S. national exchange or quoted on Nasdaq. The Company's securities are quoted for trading on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group (“OTCQB”). Penny Stocks, such as the Company's securities, can be very risky. Prices of Penny Stocks are often not available. Investors in Penny Stocks are often unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. Investors may lose all their investment in Penny Stocks. There is no guaranteed rate of return on Penny Stocks. Before an investor purchases any Penny Stock, U.S. Federal law requires a salesperson to tell the investor the "offer" and the "bid" on the Penny Stock, and the "compensation" the salesperson and the firm receive for the trade. The firm also must mail a confirmation of these prices to the investor after the trade. The Investor's Broker-dealer is required to obtain the investor's signature to show that the investor has received the statement titled "Important Information on Penny Stocks" before the investor first trades in a Penny Stock. This Statement is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and contains important information on Penny Stocks. Furthermore, under penalty of Federal Law the Investor's brokerage firm must tell the investor at two different times - before the investor agrees to buy or sell a Penny Stock, and after the trade, by written confirmation the following: 1) the bid and offer price quotes for the Penny Stock, and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply, 2) the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, 3) the compensation received by the brokerage firm's salesperson for the trade. In addition, to these items listed above the investor's brokerage firm must send the investor monthly account statements and a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals as required by the Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.
- Disruption in Trading: Trading in the common shares of the Company may be halted or suspended for certain reasons, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to submit documents to the Regulatory Authorities in the time periods required.
2). RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENTS
On March 26, 2004, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5 – Incorporated by reference) with an arm’s length party (the “Arm’s Length Party”) in respect to certain mineral claims, which are situated in the Kamloops Mining Division in British Columbia (the “Extra High Property”). Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement as amended on March 8, 2005, the Company obtained the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Property, subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “Arm’s Length Royalty”), by making staged cash payments totaling $150,000 and incurring exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property totaling $500,000 over a period of three years. Upon the Company earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Property, the Company obtained the right to purchase at any time 50% of the Arm’s Length Royalty by paying to the Arm’s Length Party the sum of $500,000 leaving the Arm’s Length Party with a 0.75% NSR royalty
On September 8, 2006, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Colt Resources Inc. (“Colt”) , a company formerly related by certain common officers and directors, whereby Colt obtained the right to acquire a 50% undivided interest, subject to the Arm’s Length Royalty in the Extra High Property by incurring exploration expenditures of $240,000 on the Extra High Property by no later than February 28, 2007 and by making cash payments to the Company totaling $133,770 by no later than March 26, 2007. On October 31, 2006, the Company and Colt entered into an Amending Agreement whereby Colt was granted an extension period until June 26, 2007 to incur exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property and to make the cash payments to the Company. On June 14, 2007, the Company amended its Option Agreement with Colt whereby Colt would have the right to acquire a 34% interest in the Extra High Property by making cash payments to the Company totalling $193,770 by no later than June 26, 2007. The Amending Agreement released Colt of the requirement to incur $240,000 in exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property. Colt made its final payment to the Company and earned its 34% interest in the Extra High Property, thus reducing the Company’s interest to 66%.
On January 21, 2008, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “2008 Option Agreement”) (Exhibit 10.11.3 - Incorporated by reference) with Colt whereby Colt was granted the right and option to acquire, in two separate equal tranches, the Company’s 66% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Pursuant to the 2008 Option Agreement, Colt exercised the first tranche of the option by making a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company thus acquiring from the Company a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. As a result of exercising the first tranche of the option, Colt increased its undivided interest in the Extra High Property to 67% and has become the operator of the Extra High Property. In order to exercise the second tranche of the option, Colt was required to make a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company on or before December 31, 2008. Colt did not exercise the second tranche of the option. Consequently, Colt now holds a 67% undivided interest in the Extra High Property and the Company now holds a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Pursuant to the Joint Venture which the Company and Colt have formed, each party shall henceforth contribute its proportionate share of property related expenditures. If any party fails to contribute its share of future property related expenditures, then its interest will be diluted on a straight-line basis. If any party’s interest is diluted to less than 10%, then that party’s interest in the Extra High Property will be converted into a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty.
Neither the Company nor the operator of the Extra High Property has incurred any meaningful exploration or evaluation expenditures in recent years with respect to the Extra High Property. Accordingly, the Company has recognized an impairment provision of $151,339 (2010 - $nil) to reduce the carrying amount to $1. If there is an indication in the future that the impairment loss recognized no longer exists or has decreased, the recoverable amount will be estimated and the carrying value of the property will be increased to its recoverable amount.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company
The legal and commercial name of the company is KOKOMO ENTERPRISES INC.
The Company was incorporated by memorandum under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on August 24, 1984 (Exhibit 3.1 – Incorporated by reference) and was registered extra-provincially in the Province of Ontario, Canada on October 19, 1984. On May 31, 1988, the Company adopted as the French form of its name "Ressources Armeno Inc.". On May 25, 1992, the name of the Company was changed to Ag Armeno Mines and Minerals Inc. in the English form, and "Les Mines et Mineraux Ag Armeno Inc." in the French form. On April 25, 2000, the name of the Company was changed from Ag Armeno Mines and Minerals Inc. in the English form, and "Les Mines et Mineraux Ag Armeno Inc.", in the French form, to Golden Nugget Exploration Inc. On May 2, 2002, the name of the Company was changed from Golden Nugget Exploration Inc. to Lucky 1 Enterprises Inc. On January 17, 2005, the name of the Company was changed from Lucky 1 Enterprises Inc. to Bronx Ventures Inc. and the Company adopted new Articles (Exhibit 3.2 - Incorporated by reference). On March 19, 2007, the Company changed its name to Zab Resources Inc. On April 16, 2009, the Company changed its name from Zab Resources Inc. to Kokomo Enterprises Inc.
On April 4, 1985, the Company's common shares were listed and posted for trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange, on the Montreal Exchange on January 15, 1988 and, on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on May 11, 1988. On July 12, 1991, the Company voluntarily de-listed its common shares from the Montreal Exchange, and, on October 3, 1994, the Company's shares were delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Effective October 4, 1994, the Company's shares have been listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and are now listed for trading on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc (“OTCQB). Effective November 29, 1999 the Vancouver Stock Exchange became known as the Canadian Venture Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “CDNX”) as a result of the merger between the Vancouver Stock Exchange and the Alberta Stock Exchange. On July 5, 2001, the Company made a formal application to the CDNX requesting the voluntary delisting of the Company’s common shares from trading on the CDNX, as a result of which, the common shares of the Company were delisted from trading on the CDNX effective at the close of trading on July 31, 2001.
On July 30, 1986, the Company's share capital split on the basis of one-old-for-two-new common shares. On May 25, 1992, the Company's share capital was consolidated on the basis of ten-old-for-one-new common share. On April 25, 2000, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of fifteen-old-for-one-new common share. On May 2, 2002, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of five-old-for-one-new common share and its authorized share capital was subsequently increased to 200,000,000 common shares without par value. On January 17, 2005, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of thirty-five-old-for-one-new common share and its authorized share capital was increased to an unlimited number of common and preferred shares without par value. On March 19, 2007, the Company subdivided its capital stock on a 1 (old) share for 50 (new) shares basis. As a result, the shares of Bronx Ventures Inc. were de-listed from trading and the shares of Zab Resources Inc. commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and are now listed for trading on the OTCQB in the USA under the symbol “ZABRF” on March 22, 2007.
Effective November 28, 2007, the common shares of the Company have been listed for trading on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (“CNSX”) (formerly known as the Canadian Trading and Quotation System (CNQ)) under the trading symbol “ZABK”. On October 17, 2008, the Company’s CNSX symbol was changed to “ZAB” pursuant to the CNSX adopting a three character symbol format.
On April 16, 2009, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of 25 (old) shares for 1 (new) share basis. As a result, the shares of Zab were de-listed from trading and the shares of Kokomo commenced trading in Canada on the CNSX under the symbol “KKO”, and in the U.S.A. the shares of Kokomo commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and are now listed for trading on the OTCQB under the symbol “KKOEF”. The Cusip number of the Company’s common shares is 500323100.
The Company was previously registered extra-provincially under the Corporations Registration Act in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada in order to participate in a tender for a Special License in respect to the exploration of salt and potash on certain claims. The Company participated in the tender, however, due to delays in being granted a Special License, the Company withdrew its participation from the tender and the Company decided not to renew its registration as an extra-provincially registered company under the Corporations Regulations Act in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Since its incorporation, the Company has been engaged primarily in the identification, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of natural resource properties and, for a brief period of time, the Company, through its formerly owned Ecuadorean subsidiary, Armenonic del Ecuador S.A. (“Armenonic”) operated the San Bartolome lead/zinc/silver mine in Ecuador.
Kokomo is a junior mineral exploration company. The Company has a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property located in the Province of British Columbia, and the Company has a one-half percent (1/2%) gross receipts royalty interest in certain lithium mineral properties located in the Province of Ontario. The principal business of Kokomo is in mineral exploration.

I. Extra High Property, Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada
On March 26, 2004, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5 – Incorporated by reference) with an arm’s length party (the “Arm’s Length Party”) in respect to certain mineral claims, which are situated in the Kamloops Mining Division in British Columbia (the “Extra High Property”). Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement as amended on March 8, 2005, the Company obtained the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Property, subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the “Arm’s Length Royalty”), by making staged cash payments totalling $150,000 and incurring exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property totalling $500,000 over a period of three years. Upon the Company earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Property, the Company obtained the right to purchase at any time 50% of the Arm’s Length Royalty by paying to the Arm’s Length Party the sum of $500,000 leaving the Arm’s Length Party with a 0.75% NSR royalty.
In the spring of 2004, the Company commissioned an independent review of the Extra High Mineral Property by Erik Ostensoe, P. Geo., who prepared a report, dated the 22nd day of April, 2004 titled “National Policy 43-101 Report, Extra High Mineral Property, Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia”. The report recommended exploration work programs be carried out on the Extra High Mineral Property in order to evaluate the mineral potential of the Extra High Mineral Property. This report has been filed on www.Sedar.com by the Company.
Commencing in May, 2005 and up to December, 2005, the Company conducted its exploration program on the Extra High Property. The exploration program consisted of soil sampling, geological mapping, trenching and diamond drilling. A total of 1,874.3 metres of NQ diamond drilling and 455 lineal metres of trenching were completed while 194 soil samples were collected over 4 areas on the Extra High Mineral Property. The exploration work program was conducted by, and was under the direct supervision of, J.W. Murton, P. Eng, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. At the time, Mr. J.W. Murton was a director of Kokomo. Mr. J. W. Murton has recommended a two phase exploration program on the Extra High Mineral Property due to the positive results obtained from the 2005 exploration program. Mr. J. W. Murton has prepared for Kokomo a Technical Report (NI 43-101) on the Extra High Property (2005 Exploration Program) dated February 28, 2006 which has been filed by the Company on www.Sedar.com , and on the Company’s Corporate Website, www.kokomoenterprises.ca . For further particulars about the Extra High Mineral Property and the 2005 Exploration Program, please visit either www.sedar.com or www.kokomoenterprises.ca.
On September 8, 2006, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.11 – Incorporated by reference) with Colt Resources Inc. (“Colt”), a company formerly related by certain directors and officers, whereby Colt obtained the right to acquire a 50% undivided interest, subject to the Arm’s Length Royalty, in the Extra High Property by incurring exploration expenditures of $240,000 on
the Extra High Property by no later than February 28, 2007 and by making cash payments to the Company
totaling $133,770 by no later than March 26, 2007.
On September 12, 2006, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.1 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was granted an extension period until June 26, 2007 to make the balance of cash payments to the Arm’s Length Party and incur the remaining exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property.
On October 31, 2006, the Company and Colt entered into an Amending Agreement (Exhibit 10.11.2 – Incorporated by reference) whereby Colt was granted an extension period until June 26, 2007 to incur exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property and to make the cash payments to the Company.
On April 16, 2007, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.2 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was released of the requirement to incur the remaining exploration expenditures but instead was required to make a cash payment of $60,000 (paid) to the Arm’s Length Party.
On June 14, 2007, the Company amended its Option Agreement with Colt whereby Colt would have the right to acquire a 34% interest in the Extra High Property by making cash payments to the Company totalling $193,770 by no later than June 26, 2007. The Amending Agreement released Colt of the requirement to incur $240,000 in exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property.
On June 26, 2007, the Company made its final payment to the Arm’s Length Party thereby earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Property subject only to the Arm’s Length Royalty. Colt made its final payment to the Company and earned its 34% interest in the Extra High Property, thus reducing the Company’s interest to 66%.
During 2007, the Company and its joint venture partner Colt conducted a diamond drilling program on the Extra High Property. A total of 1,293.59 metres were drilled in 8 NQ diamond drill holes. The diamond drilling program was targeted at expanding the previously indicated mineralization in the K7 lens and was successful in revealing the potential for larger zones of lower grade mineralization lying adjacent to the massive sulphide mineralization indicated in earlier work. The diamond drilling program was conducted by and was under the direct supervision of J. W. Murton, P. Eng., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. At the time, Mr. J. W. Murton was a director of the Company. For further particulars about the diamond drilling program please see the report on the 2007 Diamond Drilling Program dated February 28, 2008 that was prepared for the Company and Colt by J. W. Murton, P. Eng. which has been filed by the Company on its corporate website www.kokomoenterprises.ca.
At December 31, 2007, the Company held a 66% interest in the Extra High Property.
On January 21, 2008, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “2008 Option Agreement”) (Exhibit 10.11.3 - Incorporated by reference) with Colt whereby Colt was granted the right and option to acquire, in two separate equal tranches, the Company’s 66% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Pursuant to the 2008 Option Agreement, Colt exercised the first tranche of the option by making a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company thus acquiring from the Company a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. As a result of Colt exercising the first tranche of the option, Colt increased its undivided interest in the Extra High Property to 67% and has become the operator of the Extra High Property.
In order to exercise the second tranche of the option, Colt was required to make a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company on or before December 31, 2008. Colt did not exercise the second tranche of the option. Consequently, Colt now holds a 67% undivided interest in the Extra High Property and the Company now holds a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Pursuant to the Joint Venture which the Company and Colt have formed, each party shall henceforth contribute its proportionate share of property related expenditures. If any party fails to contribute its share of future property related expenditures, then its interest will be diluted on a straight-line basis. If any party’s interest is diluted to less than 10%, then that party’s interest in the Extra High Property will be converted into a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty.
As at December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company held a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property.
Neither the Company nor the operator of the Extra High Property has incurred any meaningful exploration or evaluation expenditures in recent years with respect to the Extra High Property. Accordingly, the Company has recognized an impairment provision of $151,339 (2010 - $nil) to reduce the carrying amount to $1. If there is an indication in the future that the impairment loss recognized no longer exists or has decreased, the recoverable amount will be estimated and the carrying value of the property will be increased to its recoverable amount.
Investment in the Extra High Property consists of costs incurred as follows:

The parties to the LOI had agreed to enter into a Definitive Agreement by March 31, 2010. Subsequently, an Amending Agreement was entered into and was executed by the parties whereby the LOI was extended to August 31, 2010 (“The Deadline”). As the Company was unable to enter into a Definitive Agreement by the expiry of The Deadline, the Company decided not to proceed any further with this acquisition.
On May 6, 2011, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Arqueana de Minerios E Metais Ltda. (“Arqueana”) and its shareholders (“Arqueana Group”) in respect to Arqueana’s mineral concessions and Arqueana’s real estate (“Arqueana’s Assets”) (see Exhibit 10.23* - Attached). Pursuant to the LOI, the parties agreed to enter into a Definitive Property Option Agreement within a period of 60 business days whereby the Company would have been granted the right to acquire up to a 75% right, title and interest in Arqueana’s Assets by making staged cash payments totaling $800,000, issuing a total number of 7,000,000 common shares of the Company and incurring property related expenditures totaling $8,000,000 over a period of three years. Upon earning a 75% right, title and interest in Arqueana’s Assets, the Company would have been obligated, subject to certain terms and conditions, to issue an additional 3,000,000 common shares of the Company and to make additional payments totaling $1,000,000. In respect to the then contemplated transaction, the Company hired the services of Wardrop, A Tetra Tech company, to prepare a technical report in accordance with NI 43-101 for a due diligence review on Arqueana’s Assets which was completed and had an effective date of August 12, 2011. During the months of August and September 2011, the Company attempted to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the LOI with the Arqueana Group. However, the Company’s attempts to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the LOI with the Arqueana Group were unsuccessful, as a result of which, on October 4, 2011 the Company decided not to proceed any further with the Arqueana Group in respect to Arqueana’s Assets, and the Company decided to abandon this project.

Special Note regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We make certain forward looking-statements in this Form 20-F within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to our financial condition, profitability, liquidity, resources, business outlook, proposed acquisitions, market forces, corporate strategies, contractual commitments, capital requirements and other matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbour for forward-looking statements. To comply with the terms of the safe harbour, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ substantially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements. When words and expressions such as: “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “objectives,” “goals,” “aims,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “possible,” “seeks,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “might,” “likely,” “enable” or similar words or expressions are used in this Form 20-F, as well as statements containing phrases such as “in our view,” “there can be no assurances,” “although no assurances can be given,” or “there is no way to anticipate with certainty,” forward-looking statements are being made. These forward-looking statements speak as of the date of this Form 20-F.
The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may affect the operation, performance, development and results of our business and could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in our forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current beliefs as to the outcome projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, some forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions of future events which may not prove to be accurate. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties referred to in “Item 3.D. RISK FACTORS,” and elsewhere within the document and in other of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors which can cause actual results to differ significantly from those forecast in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not overly rely or attach undue weight to forward-looking statements as an indication of our actual future results.

Upon Colt earning its 50% undivided interest in the Extra High Property, the Company and Colt would thereafter equally contribute to all future exploration costs. If any party would fail to contribute its share of future exploration costs, then its respective interest would be diluted on a straight-line basis. If any party’s interest would be diluted to less than a 10% interest, then that party’s interest in the Extra High Property would be converted into a 0.5% NSR royalty. On April 16, 2007, the Company and the Arm’s Length Party amended the Option Agreement (Exhibit 10.5.2 – Incorporated by reference) by entering into an Amending Agreement whereby the Company was released of the requirement to incur the remaining exploration expenditures but instead was required to make a cash payment of $60,000 (paid) to the Arm’s Length Party.
On June 14, 2007, the Company amended its Option Agreement with Colt whereby Colt would have the right to acquire a 34% interest in the Extra High Property by making cash payments to the Company totalling $193,770 by no later than June 26, 2007. The Amending Agreement released Colt of the requirement to incur $240,000 in exploration expenditures on the Extra High Property. On June 26, 2007, the Company made its final payment to the Arm’s Length Party thereby earning a 100% undivided interest in the Extra High Property subject only to the Arm’s Length Royalty. Colt made its final payment to the Company and earned its 34% interest in the Extra High Property, thus reducing the Company’s interest to 66%.
On January 21, 2008, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “2008 Option Agreement”) (see Exhibit 10.11.3 - Incorporated by reference) with Colt whereby Colt was granted the right and option to acquire, in two separate equal tranches, the Company’s 66% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Pursuant to the 2008 Option Agreement, Colt exercised the first tranche of the option by making a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company thus acquiring from the Company a 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Colt did not exercise the second tranche of the option. As a result of exercising the first tranche of the option, Colt now holds a 67% undivided interest in the Extra High Property and has become the operator of the Extra High Property.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company sold all of its Ontario Lithium Properties to an arm’s length party for gross proceeds of $54,500 consisting of $50,000 cash payment and marketable securities of $4,500 valued at the quoted market price at receipt (see Exhibit 10.12 – Incorporated by reference). Furthermore, the arm’s length party is obligated to pay to the Company one-half percent (1/2%) gross receipts royalty after six months from the date of commencement of commercial production from the Ontario Lithium Properties. These properties were previously written-off at the end of fiscal year 2000.
Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement with Kalpakian Bros. of B.C. Ltd. (“Kalpakian Bros.”) dated November 1, 2001 (Exhibit 10.4 - Incorporated by reference), as amended on August 18, 2003, July 31, 2005 and November 1, 2010 (Exhibits 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 - Incorporated by reference) (the “Management Services Agreement”), the total amount for Management Fees was $120,000 during the twelve months period ended December 31, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $320,000; December 31, 2009: $360,000). In February 2012, the Management Services Agreement was amended (See Exhibit 10.4.3 * - Attached) whereby the remuneration payable to Kalpakian Bros. for the services provided to the Company has been reduced from $10,000 plus HST per month to $5,000 plus HST per month effective as of March 1, 2012. Subsequently, the Management Services Agreement was further amended (See Exhibit 10.4.4 * - Attached) whereby the remuneration payable to Kalpakian Bros. has been further reduced from $5,000 plus HST per month to $2,500 plus HST per month as of April 1, 2012. The principals of Kalpakian Bros. are Bedo H. Kalpakian and Jacob H. Kalpakian, both of whom are directors and officers of the Company. The Management Services Agreement is renewable on an annual basis, and either party may terminate the Management Services Agreement at anytime by giving three months notice to the other party.
Pursuant to an Investor Relations Agreement with an Arm’s Length Party in Germany (see Exhibit 10.24* - Attached) the Company has granted 120,000 incentive stock options which are exercisable at $0.15 per common share and which expire on June 1, 2012 (see Exhibit 10.25* - Attached).

Item 10.E. Taxation
General
The following comments summarize the material Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Tax consequences for a shareholder of the Registrant who is a non-resident of Canada and who is a resident of the United States subject to taxation under the laws of the United States.
The following is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and regulations thereunder, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and regulations thereunder, the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the "Convention"), the current administrative policies and practices published by Revenue Canada or by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and regulations thereunder that have been publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change. The following does not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions of the United States or foreign jurisdictions.
The following is intended to be a general description of the Canadian and U.S. Federal income tax considerations material to a purchase of the common shares and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective holders. The following does not address consequences peculiar to any holder subject to special provision of Canadian or U.S. income tax law. Therefore, prospective holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of Kokomo Enterprises Inc.
CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Dividends on Common Stock
Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to withholding tax at the rate of 25% on dividends from a corporation resident in Canada. The Convention reduces this rate to 15% for a shareholder resident in the United States. Withholding tax is further reduced to 5% if the United States resident shareholder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the corporation paying the dividend.
Exemptions from Withholding Tax
The Convention provides exemption from Canadian income tax on dividends paid to religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer or provide benefits under one or more pension, retirement or employee benefit funds or plans. To qualify for exemption such organizations must be resident in the United States and be exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.
Dispositions of Common Stock
The following comments apply only to a shareholder whose Common stock constitutes capital property to him for purposes of the Income Tax Act.
Common stock will generally constitute capital property unless the holder is a trader or dealer in securities or is engaged in a venture in the nature of trade in respect of Common Stock.
Common stock of a resident public corporation will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if at any time in the preceding five (5) years, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Registrant belonged to the non-resident shareholder, persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm's length, or to the non-resident shareholder and persons with whom the non-resident shareholder did not deal at arm's length.
Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains from dispositions of taxable Canadian property and may deduct allowable capital losses from dispositions of taxable Canadian property. If the shares are considered taxable Canadian property, the vendor may be required to withhold tax pursuant to section 116 of the Tax Act.
Upon disposal of capital property the amount, if any, by which a taxpayer's proceeds of disposition exceed or are exceeded by the adjusted cost base of the capital property (including expenses of disposition) represent the capital gain (or loss) on disposition of the capital property. One half of the gain (the "taxable capital gain") is brought into income and taxed at normal rates. One half of the loss (the "allowable capital loss") can be deducted from taxable capital gains realized in the same year. Pursuant to the Federal Budget which was announced on February 28, 2000, the taxable capital gain and allowable capital loss inclusion rate was reduced from three-fourths to two-thirds for dispositions after February 27, 2000. On October 18, 2000, the Federal Budget further reduced the inclusion rate from two-thirds to one-half for dispositions after October 17, 2000. For dispositions of taxable Canadian property any excess of allowable capital losses over taxable capital gains becomes a "net capital loss" which can be carried to other years to reduce taxable capital gains from the disposition of such property.
The Convention gives protection to United States residents from Canadian tax on certain gains derived from the alienation of property. There is no protection for a gain on a disposition of shares the value of which is derived principally from real property in Canada. Protection under the Convention will be available as long as the Registrant remains a Canadian public corporation or its shares continue to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.
Revenue Canada has indicated that it considers the protection of the Convention with respect to capital gains extend to a "deemed disposition" under the Tax Act, including the "deemed disposition" arising upon the death of a taxpayer.
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
KOKOMO ENTERPISES INC. ("Kokomo") is classified as a Passive Foreign Investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes since the following conditions have applied for at least one taxable year since 1986:
1) 75% or more of its gross income has been passive;
2) The average percentage of its assets producing passive income is at least 50%.
The following is intended to be a general description of the U.S. Federal income tax considerations material to a purchase of the common shares and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective holders. Prospective holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of Kokomo.
Since Kokomo has satisfied the PFIC criteria for at least one taxable year since 1986, while a shareholder holds shares in Kokomo, it remains a PFIC as to that shareholder even if it no longer meets the income or asset test. Classification as a PFIC will create U.S. tax consequences to a U.S. Shareholder that are unique to the PFIC provisions and that are not encountered in other investments.
Generally, a U.S. shareholder will realize ordinary income on the receipt of cash dividends or property distributions from an investment in the shares of a foreign corporation to the extent such dividends are paid out of the foreign company's current accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent of any withholding taxes, both individual and corporate investors must include such taxes in income and, in turn, claim a foreign tax credit. Certain corporate investors are also entitled to gross up the underlying foreign corporate income taxes and claim a foreign tax credit.
Thus, under the general rule, no U.S. federal income tax consequences occur until an actual dividend is paid. Although this general rule can apply in a PFIC investment, there are significant deviations from this general rule and many elections available to a U.S. shareholder that can alter the U.S. federal income tax consequences. Such consequences will be unique to each U.S. shareholder.
In the absence of any PFIC elections, a U.S. shareholder of a PFIC, will be taxed under the excess distribution method. Under this method, where a current year dividend exceeds 125% of the average of dividends during the preceding three taxable years, the excess must be allocated rateably to each day in the taxpayer's holding period.
The amount of the excess allocated to the current year and to years when the corporation was not a PFIC is included in the shareholder's gross income for the year of the distribution. The remainder of the excess is not included in gross income, but the U.S. shareholder must pay a deferred tax amount by allocating the remaining excess to all PFIC years, re-computing the tax for each PFIC year and computing and paying the resultant interest on the recomputed tax for each PFIC year. As indicated above, foreign tax credit relief is available for withholding taxes for both individual and corporate investors. Relief for underlying corporate tax is only available for certain corporate investors.
Under the excess distribution method, gain on the disposition of PFIC shares results in the same allocation process; gross income inclusion; tax re-computation; and interest charges as an excess distribution.
In lieu of the excess distribution method, a U.S. shareholder may elect to treat a PFIC as a Qualified Electing Fund ("QEF") and be taxed under the QEF method. If that election is made, the U.S. shareholder will be taxed currently on its pro-rata share of the earnings of the QEF. The current income inclusion eliminates the interest charge under the excess distribution method. Thus, unlike the excess distribution method that requires the receipt of cash from an actual dividend or sale, the QEF method invokes taxation without the receipt of cash.
Shareholders, who make a QEF election may, or may not, remain subject to tax under the excess distribution method. If the U.S. shareholder makes the QEF election for the foreign corporation's first tax year as a PFIC that is included in the shareholder's holding period, the excess distribution will not apply to the shareholder. Thus, this type of shareholder will include its pro-rata share of PFIC earnings as a dividend, claim the appropriate foreign tax credit, and not face any interest charge.
If the shareholder makes the QEF election at a later time, in the absence of any other PFIC election, current taxation under the QEF method will apply prospectively. However, the excess distribution method continues to apply prior to the effective date of the QEF election.
If the shareholder makes the QEF election at a later time, the shareholder has an additional option to make a purging election. If a purging election is made, the PFIC stock would be treated as if it were sold and the gain treated as an excess distribution requiring: a gross income inclusion; allocation to PFIC years in the shareholder's holding period, a tax re-computation for PFIC years in the shareholder's holding period; and an interest charge payment. As a result of the purging election, thereafter the excess distribution method would not apply to that shareholder.
Under the QEF method, the U.S. shareholder has another option. In lieu of paying the tax on its pro-rata share of PFIC earnings, the U.S. shareholder in a QEF on the last day of the QEF's tax year may elect to extend the time for payment of any of its undistributed PFIC earnings tax liability for the tax year. If the election is made, the election is treated as an extension of time to pay tax and, thus, the U.S. shareholder is liable for interest.
In lieu of any of the above-described methods, since Kokomo is regularly traded on a national securities exchange, U.S. shareholders may wish to make an election to mark to market.
A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC may make a mark to market election for marketable PFIC stock. If the election is made, the shareholder includes in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the PFIC stock as of the close of the tax year over the shareholder's adjusted basis in the stock. Decreases in market value are allowed as deductions, within certain prescribed limits.
Generally, under the mark to market election, the general PFIC rules under the excess distribution method and QEF method do not apply. However, if the mark to market election is made after a U.S. shareholder has maintained its investment, there are provisions that ensure that the interest charge on amounts attributable to periods before the election is not avoided.
PERSONS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF CANADIAN, U.S. AND OTHER TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Financial Instruments
The Company has classified its cash as held-for-trading; and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties, as other financial liabilities.
The carrying values of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of due to related parties cannot be reliably measured as there is no market for such instruments.
The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
|
Credit risk arises from the non-performance of counterparties of contractual financial obligations.
|
|
The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto is as follows relating to funds held in Canada: |
|
|
December 31, 2011
|
|
|
December 31, 2010
|

5,073 |
|
|
$ |
5,158 |
|
|
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2011, the Company had accounts payable excluding accrued liabilities of $86,378 (2010 - $54,230; 2009 - $20,292), which are due within 30 days, and amounts payable to related parties of $66,922 (December 31, 2010 - $68,920; 2009 - $10,049), which are due on demand. |
|
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. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk. |
|
The Company’s cash consists of cash held in bank accounts earning interest at variable interest rates. Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values as of December 31, 2011. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk. |
|
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to other price risk. |

Not Applicable.
ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES
The Company is not in default in the payment of principal, interest, sinking fund instalment or any other default with respect to any indebtedness of the Company.
ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures [(as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)] as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Based on such evaluation, he has concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, they used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
|
|
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report. |
c)
|
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls subsequent to the date of evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The financial statements of Kokomo Enterprises Inc. are the responsibility of the Company’s management. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and reflect management’s best estimates and judgment based on information currently available.
Management has developed and maintains a system of internal control to ensure that the Company’s assets are protected from loss or improper use, transactions are authorized and properly recorded, and financial records are reliable.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control through an audit committee, which is comprised primarily of non-management directors. The audit committee reviews the results of the audit and the annual financial statements prior to their submission to the Board of Directors for approval.
The financial statements have been audited by Smythe Ratcliffe LLP, Chartered Accountants and their report outlines the scope of their examination and gives their opinion on the audited financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF KOKOMO ENTERPRISES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kokomo Enterprises Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kokomo Enterprises Inc. as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by International Accounting Standards Board.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $483,413 during the year ended December 31, 2011 and, as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $188,850. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

KOKOMO ENTERPRISES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
|
The Company was incorporated on August 24, 1984 in British Columbia, Canada. The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of natural resource properties.
The common shares of the Company trade on the CNSX under the symbol “KKO”, and in the USA, the Company's common shares trade on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “KKOEF”. The Cusip number of the Company’s common shares is 500323100. The Company’s head office is located at 1000 – 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2K3. The Company’s transfer agent is Computershare Investor Services Inc. located at 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3B9.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a "going concern", which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past two fiscal years (2011 - $483,413; 2010 - $451,400), has a deficit of $24,317,564 (December 31, 2010 - $24,066,398; January 1, 2010 - $23,632,148), a working capital deficiency of $188,850 (December 31, 2010 - $117,976; January 1, 2010 - $40,613), has limited resources, no sources of operating cash flow and no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to continue operations for an extended period of time. The Company is in the exploration stage and, accordingly, has not yet commenced revenue-producing operations.
The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities as they become due and to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, the attainment of profitable mining operations or the receipt of proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests. Management is actively engaged in the review and due diligence on opportunities of merit in the mining sector and is seeking to raise the necessary capital to meet its funding requirements. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.
(a)
|
Statement of compliance
|
These statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), which are measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
3.
|
BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
|
(a) Statement of compliance (continued)
These financial statements are the Company’s first IFRS annual financial statements. Previously, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with pre-changeover generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The impact of the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS is explained in note 14. IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards has been applied.
The significant accounting policies set out in note 4 have been applied consistently to all periods presented and in the preparation of the opening balance sheet at January 1, 2010 (note 14) for purposes of transition to IFRS. The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar.
(b)
|
Approval of the financial statements
|
The financial statements of Kokomo Enterprises Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 23, 2012.
(c)
|
New accounting pronouncements
|
All of the new and revised standards described below may be early-adopted.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2009)
IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets, as follows:
·
|
Debt instruments meeting both a “business model” test and a “cash flow characteristics” test are measured at amortized cost (the use of fair value is optional in some limited circumstances)
|
·
|
Investments in equity instruments can be designated as “fair value through other comprehensive income” with only dividends being recognized in profit or loss
|
·
|
All other instruments (including all derivatives) are measured at fair value with changes recognized in the profit or loss.
|
The concept of “embedded derivatives” does not apply to financial assets within the scope of the standard and the entire instrument must be classified and measured in accordance with the above guidelines.
This standard is only applicable if it is optionally adopted for annual periods beginning before January 1, 2015. For annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the Company must adopt IFRS 9 (2010).
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010)
This is a revised version incorporating revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and carrying over the existing de-recognition requirements from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
(c) New accounting pronouncements (continued)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010) (continued)
The revised financial liability provisions maintain the existing amortized cost measurement basis for most liabilities. New requirements apply where an entity chooses to measure a liability at FVTPL; in these cases, the portion of the change in fair value related to changes in the entity's own credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss.
This standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 and supersedes IFRS 9 (2009). However, for annual reporting periods beginning before January 1, 2015, an entity may early-adopt IFRS 9 (2009) instead of applying this standard.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
This IFRS standard defines fair value, provides guidance on how to determine fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. However, IFRS 13 does not change the requirements regarding which items should be measured or disclosed at fair value.
IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements). With some exceptions, the standard requires entities to classify these measurements into a “fair value hierarchy” based on the nature of the inputs:
·
|
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
|
·
|
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
|
·
|
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
|
Entities are required to make various disclosures depending upon the nature of the fair value measurement (e.g., whether it is recognized in the financial statements or merely disclosed) and the level in which it is classified.
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
This standard makes amendments resulting from the IASB's comprehensive review of off balance sheet activities.
The amendments introduce additional disclosures, designed to allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitizations), including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may remain with the entity that transferred the assets. The amendments also require additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.
This standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
(d) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates and assumptions relate to the review of carrying values and determination of impairment of non-current assets, valuation of share-based payments, recoverability of deferred tax assets, provision for reclamation costs among others. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key judgments and estimates made by management with respect to those areas noted previously have been disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as appropriate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
(a)
|
Financial instruments
|
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity and AFS. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at recognition.
Fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as FVTPL when the financial asset is held-for-trading or it is designated as FVTPL. A financial asset is classified as FVTPL when it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the company manages and has an actual pattern of short-term profit-taking or if it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the transaction value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less impairment losses. The impairment loss on receivables is based on a review of all outstanding amounts at period-end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate method.
Held-to-maturity
Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value using the effective interest rate method.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
i)
|
Financial assets (continued)
|
Available-for-sale
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or not classified in any of the other financial assets categories. Changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets other than impairment losses are recognized as other comprehensive income and classified as a component of equity.
ii)
|
Financial liabilities
|
The Company classifies its financial liabilities as FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
Fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held-for-trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are non-derivatives and are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit and loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date.
Derivative financial liabilities
Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are classified as held-for-trading and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
iii) Effective interest method
The effective interest method calculates the amortized cost of a financial asset and allocates interest income over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(a)
|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires classification of fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
|
|
Level 3:
|
Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
|
(b)
|
Exploration and evaluation assets
|
i)
|
|
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
|
Once a license to explore an area has been secured, expenditures on exploration and evaluation activities are capitalized to exploration and classified as a component of mineral properties. Such expenditures include, but are not limited to, exploration license expenditures, leasehold property acquisition costs, evaluation costs, including drilling costs directly attributable to a property, and directly attributable to general and administrative costs. From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
ii) Impairment
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment by management when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners, when a property is abandoned, or when the capitalized costs are no longer considered recoverable, the related property costs are written down to management’s estimate of their net recoverable amount.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of mineral properties is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation or alternatively the sale of the respective areas of interest.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(b) Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
iii) Decommissioning liabilities
An obligation to incur decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs occurs when environmental disturbance is caused by exploration, evaluation, development or ongoing production.
Decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs arising from the installation of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided when the obligation to incur such costs arises and are capitalized into the cost of the related asset. These costs are charged against operations through depreciation of the asset and unwinding of the discount on the provision.
Depreciation is included in operating costs while the unwinding of the discount is included as a financing cost. Changes in the measurement of a liability relating to the decommissioning or site rehabilitation of plant and other site preparation work are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset.
The costs for the restoration of site damage, which arises during production, are provided at their net present values and charged against operations as extraction progresses.
Changes in the measurement of a liability, which arises during production, are charged against operating profit. The discount rate used to measure the net present value of the obligations is the pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. To date the Company does not have any decommissioning liabilities.
Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company grants share options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The fair value of share-based payments to employees is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period for employees using the graded method. Fair value of share-based payments for non-employees is recognized and measured at the date the goods or services are received based on the fair value of the goods or services received. If it is determined that the fair value of goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
For both employees and non-employees, the fair value of share-based payments is recognized as either an expense or as mineral property interests with a corresponding increase in option reserves. The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded in capital stock and the related share-based payment in option reserves is transferred to capital stock. For those options that expire or are forfeited after vesting, the recorded value is transferred to deficit.
(e)
|
Earnings (loss) per share
|
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.
Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as capital stock in the amount for which the option or warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Capital stock issued for non-monetary consideration is valued at the closing market price at the date of issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to capital stock based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are priced and any residual value is allocated to the warrants reserve. Consideration received for the exercise of warrants is recorded in capital stock and the related residual value is transferred to capital stock. For those warrants that expire, the recorded value is transferred to deficit.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(g)
|
Foreign currency translation
|
Amounts recorded in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
|
(i)
|
Monetary assets and liabilities, at the rate of exchange in effect as at the balance sheet date;
|
|
(ii)
|
Non-monetary assets and liabilities, at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities; and
|
|
(iii)
|
Revenues and expenses (excluding amortization, which is translated at the same rate as the related asset), at the rate of exchange on the transaction date.
|
Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the year.
The Company has only one operating segment, the exploration and development of mineral property interests in Canada.
Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that result in promises to pay or receive cash or equity instruments. The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: cash is classified as a financial asset at FVTPL; and accounts payable and due to related parties, as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair values due to their short term to maturity.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
|
· |
Credit risk; |
|
· |
Liquidity risk; and |
|
· |
Market risk. |
|
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash. All of the Company’s cash is held in a major Canadian financial institution and, accordingly, the Company views credit risk and concentration of credit risk as minimal. |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

(b)
|
Liquidity risk (continued)
|
The contractual financial liabilities of the Company as of December 31, 2011 equal $191,989 (December 31, 2010 - $135,443; January 1, 2010 - $51,741). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable and due to related parties are due within 90 days of December 31, 2011.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on capital.
The Company is not exposed to any significant currency risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest earned on cash is at nominal interest rates and, therefore, the Company does not consider interest rate risk to be significant. The Company has no interest-bearing financial liabilities.

There have been no disposals of mineral properties over the last two years and no amortization has been taken on any capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditures over the past two years.
As at January 1, 2008, the Company held a 66% interest in the Extra High Property, with the remaining 34% interest being held by Colt Resources Inc. (“Colt”), a company that was formerly related by certain common directors and officers. The property is subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (”NSR”), 50% of which, or 0.75%, can be purchased at any time by paying $500,000 to the NSR holder.
6. MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS (Continued)

Extra High Property (continued)
|
On January 21, 2008, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “2008 Option Agreement”) with Colt whereby Colt was granted the right and option to acquire, in two separate equal tranches, the Company’s 66% undivided interest in the property. Colt has exercised the first tranche of the option by making a cash payment of $250,000 to the Company. As a result, Colt’s interest in the Extra High Property increased to 67% and Colt has become the operator of the property.
In order to exercise the second tranche of the option, Colt was required to make a cash payment of $250,000 on or before December 31, 2008. Colt did not exercise the second tranche of the option. Colt now holds a 67% undivided interest in the Extra High Property and the Company now holds the remaining 33% undivided interest in the Extra High Property. Pursuant to the joint venture, which the Company and Colt have formed, each party shall henceforth contribute its proportionate share of property related expenditures. If any party fails to contribute its share of future property related expenditures, then its interest will be diluted on a straight-line basis. If any party’s interest is diluted to less than 10%, then that party’s interest in the Extra High Property will be converted to a 0.5% NSR.
Neither the Company nor the operator of the property has incurred any meaningful exploration or evaluation expenditures in recent years with respect to the Extra High Property. Accordingly, the Company has recognized an impairment provision of $151,339 (2010 - $nil) to reduce the carrying amount to $1. If there is an indication in the future that the impairment loss recognized no longer exists or has decreased, the recoverable amount will be estimated and the carrying value of the property will be increased to its recoverable amount.
Investment in the Extra High Property consists of costs incurred as follows:

Ontario Lithium Properties (Mineral Leases)
|
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company sold all of its mineral leases for gross proceeds of $54,500. These mineral leases were previously written off at the end of fiscal 2000. However, in the event that at a future date the mineral leases are placed into commercial production, then the Company is entitled to a 0.50% gross receipts royalty after six months from the date of commencement of commercial production.
6. MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS (Continued)
The Company’s investment in and expenditures on the mineral property interest comprise substantially all of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in the assets is dependent on establishing legal ownership of the property interest, on the attainment of successful commercial production or from the proceeds of its disposal. The recoverability of the amounts shown for the mineral property interest is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the property interest, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
(d)
|
Title and environmental
|
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has or had a right to acquire an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee title (whether of the Company or of any underlying vendor(s) from whom the Company may be acquiring its interest). Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers, and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of indigenous peoples.
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.
Unlimited number of common and preferred shares without par value of which there are no preferred shares issued.
During 2011, the Company entered into two Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing Agreements and issued an aggregate of 1,100,000 units for total proceeds of $110,000 of which $100,000 was allocated to shares and $10,000 was allocated to warrants. Each unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. The share purchase warrants entitle the holders to purchase one common share at a price of $0.15 for a period of two years from the closing date. The proceeds were allocated between shares and warrants using the residual value method.
During 2011, a total of 1,512,000 share purchase warrants were exercised at $0.10 per share for total proceeds to the Company of $151,200.

During 2010, the Company entered into a Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing Agreement and issued an aggregate of 4,500,000 units for total proceeds of $270,000 of which $270,000 was allocated to shares and $nil was allocated to warrants. Each unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. The share purchase warrants entitle the holders to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years from the closing date. The proceeds were allocated between shares and warrants using the residual value method.
During 2010, a total of 1,043,000 share purchase warrants were exercised at $0.10 per share for total proceeds to the Company of $104,300.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding at December 31, 2011 is 0.5 (2010 - 0.5) years.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, all stock options outstanding were exercisable. All options vested immediately upon grant.
In 2011, the Company granted 120,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which are exercisable up to June 1, 2012. In respect to the stock option grant is a cash settlement option, which allows the option holder to receive $3,250 if the stock options are not exercised by the expiry date. The fair value of the options granted in the current year has been calculated based on the cash settlement value of $3,250 and has been included in mineral property evaluation costs. The balance has been reflected at year-end as an accrual and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the following options were outstanding and exercisable:

Effective January 1, 2011, the Canadian federal corporate tax rate decreased from 18.0% to 16.5% and the British Columbia provincial tax decreased from 10.5% to 10.0%. The overall reduction in tax rates has resulted in a decrease in the Company’s statutory tax rate from 28.5% to 26.5%.

The Company has available approximate net capital losses of $994,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has available resource-related deductions of approximately $2,656,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely.
The Company has a management services agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) with Kalpakian Bros. of B.C. Ltd. (“Kalpakian Bros.”), a private company owned by two directors of the Company. The remuneration for the services provided was $10,000 plus HST per month. The Management Services Agreement was renewed on November 1, 2011, which is renewable on an annual basis, and either party may terminate the Management Services Agreement at any time by giving three months’ notice to the other party (see note 15(a)).
The Company considers its capital to be comprised of stockholders’ equity (deficiency).
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of mineral properties and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to IFRS has affected the Company’s financial position and comprehensive loss is set out in this note.
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
IFRS 1 generally requires that first-time adopters retrospectively apply all effective IFRS standards and interpretations in effect as at the reporting date. IFRS 1 also provides for certain optional exemptions and certain mandatory exceptions to this general principle.
The Company has elected under IFRS 1 to not apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to options that vested before the date of transition to IFRS.
Adjustments on transition to IFRS
IFRS has many similarities to Canadian GAAP as it is based on a similar conceptual framework. However, there are important differences with regard to recognition, measurement and disclosure. While adoption of IFRS did not change the Company’s actual cash flows or statement of comprehensive loss, it resulted in changes to the Company’s balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity (deficiency) as set out below.
On transition to IFRS, the Company changed its accounting policy for the treatment of share-based payments whereby amounts recorded in options reserves for unexercised stock options are transferred to deficit upon their expiration. Previously, the Company’s Canadian GAAP policy was to leave such amounts in option reserves.
The impact on the balance sheets due to the change in accounting policy is as follows:

|
TRANSITION TO IFRS (Continued)
|
The Company has changed its accounting policy for the treatment of unit offerings to the residual value method. Under the residual value method common shares are recorded at fair value at the date the units are priced. Any proceeds exceeding the fair value of the common shares are then allocated to the share purchase warrants. Previously, the Company’s Canadian GAAP policy was to allocate proceeds based on the relative fair value method.

Exhibit 11.1
Explanation of how earnings/loss per (weighted average) share is calculated
Earnings and Loss per share are calculated by dividing the net loss or profit by the total weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is obtained as follows:-
Whenever the Company issues shares from its treasury during a specific reporting period, the number of common shares issued is pro-rated over the remaining months of the year, and such number is added to the December 31st closing balance of the previous year.
