DIAMOND
DISCOVERIES INTERNATIONAL CORP.
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 –
Business and basis of presentation:
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diamond
Discoveries International Corp., which was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on April 24, 2000, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Diamond Discoveries Canada,
Inc. and Platinum Discoveries Corp. (the “Company”). All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
Company is engaged in activities related to the exploration for mineral
resources in Canada. It conducts exploration and related activities through
contracts with third parties.
In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as
of June 30, 2009, its results of operations for the six and three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, its changes in stockholders’ deficit for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 and the related cumulative amounts for the period from April 24, 2000 (date
of inception) to June 30, 2009. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain
information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America have been condensed in or omitted from these financial statements
unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent
fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the
notes thereto (the “Audited Financial Statements”) and the other information
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the
year ended December 31, 2008 that was previously filed with the
SEC.
The
results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending
December 31, 2009.
As
further explained in Note 3 in the Audited Financial Statements, the
Company acquired mineral permits for property in the “Torngat Fields” located in
the Province of Quebec, Canada. The Company intended to develop the permits from
early stage exploration through completion of the exploration phase. Prior to
any further exploration decisions, a mineral deposit must be appropriately
assessed. Gathering this data usually takes several years. Once the appropriate
data was gathered, management determined not to proceed any further with the
exploration of this property.
In March
2008, the Company acquired mineral rights for property located in the Thetford
Mines area (the “Caribou Property”). The Company intends to develop the
mineral rights from the early stage exploration through completion of the
exploration phase. Prior to any further exploration decisions, a mineral deposit
must be appropriately assessed. Gathering this data usually takes several years.
Once the appropriate data has been gathered, management will determine how to
proceed any further with the exploration of this property.
Other
than contracting with third parties to conduct exploration and gather data on
its behalf, the Company had not conducted any operations or generated any
revenues as of June 30, 2009. Accordingly, it is considered an “exploration
stage company” for accounting purposes. In addition to exploration costs,
the Company incurs general and administrative expenses which consist primarily
of professional fees relating to corporate filings and consulting and other
expenses incurred in operating our business.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, in addition to
not generating any revenues, the Company had a working capital deficit of
approximately $1,750,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1,523,000
as of June 30, 2009. Management believes that the Company will not generate any
revenues during the twelve month period subsequent to June 30, 2009 in which it
will be gathering and evaluating data related to the permits for the Torngat
Fields. Since its inception, the Company has received total consideration of
$7,242,339 as a result of proceeds from shareholder advances, the issuance of
notes payable and the sales of common stock. Management believes that the
Company will still need total additional financing of approximately $500,000 to
continue to operate as planned during the twelve month period subsequent to June
30, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
Management
plans to obtain such financing through private offerings of debt and equity
securities. However, management cannot assure that the Company will be able to
obtain any or all of the additional financing it will need to continue to
operate through at least June 30, 2010 or that, ultimately, it will be able to
generate any profitable commercial mining operations. If the Company is unable
to obtain the required financing, it may have to curtail or terminate its
operations and liquidate its remaining assets and liabilities.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue its operations as a going concern.
Note 2
–
Summary of significant
accounting policies:
Use of
estimates:
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Mining
costs:
Exploration
and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Management’s decision to develop
or mine a property will be based on an assessment of the viability of the
property and the availability of financing. The Company will capitalize mining
exploration and other related costs attributable to reserves in the event that a
definitive feasibility study establishes proven and probable reserves.
Capitalized mining costs will be expensed using the unit of production method
and will also be subject to an impairment assessment.
Concentrations
of credit risk:
The
Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which, at
times, may exceed Federal insurance limits. Exposure to credit risk is reduced
by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their
credit ratings.
Impairment
of long-lived assets:
Impairment
losses on long-lived assets, such as mining claims, are recognized when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and,
accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable.
Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to
their carrying amounts.
Income
taxes:
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method
which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed
annually for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in
the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Refundable
tax credit:
The
Company is eligible for a refundable tax credit given by the Province of Quebec
to encourage mineral exploration in the province. Eligible expenses
include exploration expenses within Quebec.
The
Company files a tax return claiming the refundable tax credit. However,
the Quebec government subjects the return to a review process which may result
in a substantial adjustment to the initial claimed credit prior to issuing an
assessment of the refundable tax credit. Due to the uncertainty of the
amount approved by the Quebec government, the Company’s policy is to record the
refundable tax credit at such time that it has been notified by the Quebec
government of an assessment. During the six and three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not receive any refunds under the
program.
Net
earnings (loss) per share:
The
Company presents “basic” earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, “diluted”
earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss)
per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of
diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share,
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive
common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants, were issued during the period.
Since the
Company had a net loss for the six and three months ended Juine 30, 2008, the
assumed effects of the exercise of the warrants to purchase 95,576,849 shares of
common stock that were issued during 2005 and the application of the treasury
stock method would have been anti-dilutive. Therefore, there is no diluted
per share amounts in the 2008 statements of operations. All of the warrants to
purchase 95,576,849 shares of common stock expired in December
2008.
Foreign
currency translation and transactions:
The
functional currency of the Company’s operations is Canadian dollars. The
assets and liabilities arising from these operations are translated at current
exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at average exchange rates in
effect during the year. Resulting translation adjustments, if material,
are recorded in the statement of changes in stockholders' deficiency while
foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in
operations.
The
Company recorded a loss of $61,654 and $138,520 during the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a net foreign currency translation
adjustment of $50,544 and $56,326, respectively, in its interest in the Caribou
Property and Torngat Mountains operations reflecting a strengthening of the
Canadian dollar against the U. S. dollar which is included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). Translation adjustments for prior periods
have been immaterial.
Comprehensive
loss
Comprehensive
loss consists of net loss for the period, unrealized hedging transactions and
foreign currency translation adjustments.
Recent
accounting pronouncements:
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 141(R)
(“SFAS No. 141(R)”), “Business Combinations,” which revises the previously
issued SFAS 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements
for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
non-controlling interest in the acquire. The statement also provides
guidance for recognizing and measuring goodwill acquired in the business
combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the
financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be
applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 160 (“SFAS
No. 160”), “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties
other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the
parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership
interest, and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when
a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure
requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. FAS 160 will be applied prospectively, with a disclosure
requirement for existing minority interests to be applied retrospectively. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 162 (“SFAS No. 162”),
“The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selection
the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60
days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity
With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Note 3
– Property and equipment:
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment loss for
the remaining balance of property and equipment. Prior to that, depreciation was
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
such assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs were charged to
expense as incurred.
Depreciation expense for the six and
three months ended June 30, 2008 was $23,862 and $11,923,
respectively.
Note 4
– Notes payable:
In
November 2005, the Company and Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. (“PGL”) entered into
an agreement whereby the amount due to PGL was converted to a non-interest
bearing note payable totaling $1,500,000 (Canadian). The note is secured
with the permits identified in Note 3 in the Audited Financial Statements.
In connection with the agreement, the Company recorded a gain on the
modification of debt of $1,349,623. The Company recorded the note using a
12% discount rate. The Company was unable to make the scheduled payments
($600,000 Canadian) during 2006 under this note payable and therefore the note
is effectively in default. As such, the entire balance of the note payable
is shown as being currently due in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.
Note 5 –
Advances from stockholders:
Advances
from stockholders of $239,166 at June 30, 2009 were non-interest bearing and due
on demand.
Note 6 –
Income taxes:
As of
June 30, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$19,143,000 available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire
through 2022. The Company had no other material temporary differences as of that
date. Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the changes in
the ownership of the Company, which could subject those loss carryforwards to
substantial annual limitations, and the extent and timing of its future taxable
income, the Company offset the deferred tax assets of approximately $7,657,000
attributable to the potential benefits from the utilization of those net
operating loss carryforwards by an equivalent valuation allowance as of June 30,
2009.
The
Company had also offset the potential benefits from net operating loss
carryforwards by an equivalent valuation allowance as of December 31, 2008. As a
result of the increases in the valuation allowance of approximately $57,000 and
$44,000 in the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, $144,000
and $125,000 in the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and
$7,657,000 in the period from April 24, 2000 to June 30, 2009, the Company did
not recognize any credits for income taxes in the accompanying condensed
statements of operations to offset its pre-tax losses in any of those
periods.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
The following discussion regarding us and our business and
operations contains forward-looking statements. Such statements consist of any
statement other than a recitation of historical fact, and can be identified by
the use of such forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon, or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned that all
forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative, and there are certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those referred to in such forward-looking
statements.
Operations
to Date
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware in April of 2000. We have not
engaged in commercial operations since inception, and therefore have not
realized any revenues from operations since inception. We do not expect to
commence operations in the foreseeable future and do not expect to generate
revenue in calendar year 2009.
For the
six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the period from April 24,
2000 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009, we incurred $0, $0, $0, $0 and
$2,404,291 in exploration costs, net of reimbursements, and $73,499, $11,845,
$406,095, $267,575 and $16,344,578 in general and administrative expenses,
respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of
professional fees related to our corporate filings and consulting and other
expenses incurred in operating our business. We incurred a net loss of
approximately $73,000 or $0 per share based on 392,790,173 weighted average
shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and a net loss of
approximately $12,000 or $0 per share based on 401,491,830 weighted average
shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a net
loss of approximately $406,000 or $0 per share based on 361,091,830 weighted
average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and a net loss
of approximately $268,000 or $0 per share based on 363,966,830 weighted average
shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Going
Concern
In
connection with their report on our financial statements as of December 31,
2008, Rodefer Moss & Co, PLLC, our independent registered public accounting
firm, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern because such continuance is dependent upon our ability to raise
capital.
We have
explored, and continue to explore, all avenues possible to raise the funds
required. We have no revenue-producing activity. We cannot continue our
exploration efforts until we have raised sufficient capital.
Ultimately,
we must achieve profitable operations if we are to be a viable entity. Although
we believe that there is a reasonable basis to believe that we will successfully
raise the needed funds to continue exploration, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to raise sufficient capital to continue exploration, or that if
such funds are raised, that exploration will result in a finding of commercially
exploitable reserves, or that if exploitable reserves exist on our properties,
that extraction activities can be conducted at a profit.
Cash
Flow and Capital Resources
Through
June 30, 2009, we have relied on the total consideration of $7,242,339 as a
result of proceeds from shareholder advances, the issuance of notes payable and
the sales of common stock to support our limited operations. As of June 30,
2009, we had a cash balance of $5,988.
We plan
to seek additional equity or debt financing of up to $500,000 which we plan to
use for the next phase of our exploration program to be conducted through
December 31, 2009, as well as working capital purposes. We currently have
limited sources of capital, including the public and private placement of equity
securities and the possibility of issuance of debt securities to our
stockholders. With virtually no assets, the availability of funds from
traditional sources of debt will be limited, and will almost certainly involve
pledges of assets or guarantees by officers, directors and stockholders.
Stockholders have advanced funds to us in the past, but we cannot assure you
that they will be a source of funds in the future. If we do not get sufficient
financing, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and we may have to
curtail or terminate our operations and liquidate our business (see Note 1 to
financial statements).
Plan
of Operation
Our
business plan for the next year will consist of further exploration on the
properties over which we hold the mineral exploration permits as well as
preliminary marketing efforts.
We
estimate that it will require approximately $500,000 to conduct an exploration
program on the Caribou property through 2009. This amount will be used to pay
for continued drilling of identified targets, prospecting and geological
mapping, helicopter and airplane support, lodging and food for workers, pick-up
truck rentals, assays, property taxes to the Quebec Department of Natural
Resources and supervision. If we continue with the exploration of the
Caribou property, we plan to raise a minimum of $500,000 through one or more
private offerings pursuant to Rule 506 or Regulation D or through an offshore
offering pursuant to Regulation S; however, nothing in this annual report shall
constitute an offer of any securities for sale. Such shares when sold will not
have been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements. If we are unable to raise this amount, we will most likely cease
all activity related to our exploration program, or at the very least, proceed
on a reduced scale. We have to date relied on a small number of investors to
provide us with financing for the commencement of our exploration program,
including TVP Capital Corp., a principal stockholder. Amounts owed to these
individuals are payable upon demand.
We employ
one individual on a part time basis, who is an executive officer. We do not
expect any significant changes in the number of employees within the next twelve
months.

Not

Item
4(T). Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2009. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Antonio Sciacca and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Edward Williams. Based upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective. In making this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer considered, among other things, the material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described
below.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management
of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board
of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published
financial statements in accordance with United States’ generally accepted
accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US
GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Management conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the
framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment
included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial
reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that,
as of June 30, 2009, the Company did not maintain effective internal
controls over financial reporting due to our limited number of employees which
resulted in our inability to effectively segregate all conflicting
duties.
Currently
we employ one individual who is in charge of our accounting and financial duties
on a day-to-day basis and we also use one consultant to assist in the
preparation of the financial statements and accompanying
footnotes.
To remedy
this material weakness, we will, to the extent possible, implement procedures to
assure the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording
of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. Further, concurrent
with having sufficient resources we will engage additional individuals to assist
us in remedying this material weakness.
There was
no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely
to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the
Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and
material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of
any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
