DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
|
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Royal
Mines and Minerals Corps (the Company) fiscal year-end is April 30.
Description of Business
The
Company is focused on the development of mining technologies for the proficient
extraction of precious metals. The Company's primary objectives are to 1)
commercially and viably extract and refine precious metals from specific coal
ash (fly and bottom), ores and other leachable assets, 2) use its proprietary
processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills into valuable
assets, and 3) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North
America. The Company has not yet realized significant revenues from its primary
objectives.
History
The Company was
incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June
13, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Mines
Acquisition Corp., in the state of Nevada.
On October 5, 2007, Centrus Ventures
Inc. (Centrus) completed the acquisition of Royal Mines Inc. (Royal Mines).
The acquisition of Royal Mines was completed by way of a triangular merger
pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September
24, 2007 (the First Merger Agreement) among Centrus, Royal Mines Acquisition
Corp. (Centrus Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus, Royal Mines and
Kevin B. Epp, the former sole executive officer and director of Centrus. On
October 5, 2007, under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, Royal Mines was
merged with and into Centrus Sub, with Centrus Sub continuing as the surviving
corporation (the First Merger).
On October 6, 2007, a second merger was
completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 6, 2007 (the
Second Merger Agreement) between Centrus and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Centrus Sub, whereby Centrus Sub was merged with and into Centrus, with Centrus
continuing as the surviving corporation (the Second Merger). As part of the
Second Merger, Centrus changed its name from Centrus Ventures Inc. to Royal
Mines And Minerals Corp.(the Company). Other than the name change, no
amendments were made to the Articles of Incorporation.
Under the terms and conditions of the
First Merger Agreement, each share of Royal Mines common stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was
converted into one share of Centrus common stock. As a result, a total of
32,183,326 shares of Centrus common stock were issued to former stockholders of
Royal Mines. In addition, Mr. Epp surrendered 23,500,000 shares of Centrus
common stock for cancellation in consideration of payment by Centrus of $0.001
per share for an aggregate consideration of $23,500. As a result, upon
completion of the First Merger, the former stockholders of Royal Mines owned
approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock.
As such, Royal Mines is deemed to be
the acquiring enterprise for financial reporting purposes. All acquired assets
and liabilities of Centrus were recorded at fair value on the date of the
acquisition, as required by the purchase method of accounting, and the tangible
net liabilities were debited against equity of the Company. There are no
continuing operations of Centrus from the date of acquisition.
Going Concern
The accompanying
financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP). The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will
continue in operation for the next twelve months from the date the financial
statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and does not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the Companys inability to continue as a going
concern. The Companys history of losses, working capital deficit, capital
deficit, minimal liquidity and other factors raise substantial doubt about the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to
continue operations beyond the next twelve months and be able to discharge its
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business it must raise
additional equity or debt capital and continue cost cutting measures. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve sustainable profitable
operations or obtain additional funds when needed or that such funds, if
available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to management.
F-5
ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)
If the Company continues to incur
operating losses and does not raise sufficient additional capital, material
adverse events may occur including, but not limited to, 1) a reduction in the
nature and scope of the Companys operations and 2) the Companys inability to
fully implement its current business plan. There can be no assurance that the
Company will successfully improve its liquidity position. The accompanying
financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might be required
resulting from the adverse outcome relating to this uncertainty.
As of April 30, 2017, the Company had
cumulative net losses of $19,570,019 from operations since inception and had a
working capital deficit of $1,621,888. For the year ended April 30, 2017, the
Company incurred a net loss of $1,015,672 and had net cash used in operating
activities of $494,253. For the year ended April 30, 2016 the Company incurred a
net loss of $839,773 and had net cash used in operating activities of $515,800.
The Company has not fully started its minerals processing operations, raising
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
To address liquidity constraints, the
Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of equity
or debt financing. Additionally, the Company has reduced expenses, elected to
defer payment of certain obligations, deferred payment of our CEOs salary and
reduced staffing levels to conserve cash. The Company is focused on continuing
to reduce costs and obtaining additional funding. There is no assurance that
such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If
the Company raises additional funds by selling additional shares of capital
stock, securities convertible into shares of capital stock, or by issuing debt
convertible into shares of capital stock, the ownership interest of the
Companys existing common stock holders will be diluted.
Use of Estimates
- The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these estimates are
subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of
changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant
areas requiring managements estimates and assumptions include the valuation of
stock-based compensation, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, and the
realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The
Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be a cash equivalent.
Fair Value
-
ASC 825,
Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent,
objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A
financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used
to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.
F-6
ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or
liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less
active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable
market data of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology
that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or
liabilities.
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of
cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets. The Company's financial instruments consist
of cash, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loans payable.
The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due
to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing
market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Assets measured at fair value on a
recurring basis were presented on the Companys balance sheet as of April 30,
2017 and 2016 as follows:

Property and Equipment
-
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The
cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures
for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other
disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operating
expenses.
Mineral Exploration and Development
Costs
Exploration expenditures incurred prior to entering the development
stage are expensed and included in mineral exploration and evaluation expense.
F-7
ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events
or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC
360-10-35-17,
Measurement of an Impairment Loss
, if events or
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.
Various factors could impact our
ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity
prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from
the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess
impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable
minerals from mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those
factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have
been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified
mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.
Research and Development
- All
research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Per Share Amounts
- Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted
earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is
adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially
dilutive shares, such as stock options and warrants, are excluded from the
calculation when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, such as when the
exercise price of the instrument exceeds the fair market value of the Companys
common stock and when a net loss is reported. The dilutive effect of convertible
debt securities is reflected in the diluted earnings (loss) per share
calculation using the if-converted method. Conversion of the debt securities is
not assumed for purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share if the
effect is anti-dilutive. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, stock options and
warrants outstanding were 169,325,129 and 165,785,129 respectively, but were not
considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
- The Company
accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes,
which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
For acquired properties that do not
constitute a business a deferred income tax liability is recorded on GAAP basis
over income tax basis using statutory federal and state rates. The resulting
estimated future federal and state income tax liability associated with the
temporary difference between the acquisition consideration and the tax basis is
computed in accordance with ASC 740-10-25-51,
Acquired Temporary Differences
in Certain Purchase Transactions that are Not Accounted for as Business
Combinations
, and is reflected as an increase to the total purchase price
which is then applied to the underlying acquired assets in the absence of there
being a goodwill component associated with the acquisition transactions.
Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation - Stock Compensation
, which requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the
award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9,
Measurement Objective Fair Value
at Grant Date
, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a
valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of
fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such
as volatility and interest rates. Compensation cost is recognized over the
requisite service period which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon
exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common
stock.
F-8
ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock
Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in
which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or
services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after
January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with
the provisions of ASC 505.
Recent Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the
specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that
the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material
impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows
upon adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued
Accounting Standard (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires that a lessee
recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease
terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of
expenses and cash flows arising from a lease have not significantly changed from
the previous GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, with early
adoption permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method
with the option to elect a package of practical expedients. Adoption of the new
guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU
2015-17 which simplifies income tax accounting. The update requires that all
deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance
sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts.
This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.
Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

SCOTTSDALE FACILITY
AGREEMENT
|
On April 16, 2014, the Company entered
into a loan and joint venture agreement (the Agreement) with GJS Capital Corp.
(the "Creditor"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Creditor loaned the
Company $150,000 via a convertible note (the Principal) and agreed to form a
joint venture with the Company for constructing and operating a processing plant
at the Scottsdale facility, an existing facility, utilizing the Companys
licensed Technology. In addition, the Creditor was to advance $250,000 plus up
to 15% for contingencies, a total of $287,500, to fund the initial construction
and operation costs of the joint venture. The advances were not expected to be
paid back to the Creditor. The Company received a total of $329,000 towards the
joint venture and treated the funds as contributed capital, since in substance
the Creditor secured future revenue of the Scottsdale facility operations with
such funds.
On September 23, 2016, the Company
entered into an amended and restated loan and joint venture agreement (the
Amendment Agreement) with the Creditor and Gregg Sedun (the Consultant). The
Amendment Agreement replaces in its entirety the Agreement, between the Company
and the Creditor.
Under the terms of the Amendment
Agreement, the Creditor has agreed to extend the Principal. The loan bears
interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and is due on demand.
The Company settled the $329,000 joint venture advance in exchange for
15,065,570 shares of common stock of the Company, along with 1,400,000 of the
Companys common shares of Gainey Capital Corp.
At any time prior to the Maturity Date,
the Creditor may elect to receive units (each a Unit") of the Company in
exchange for any portion of the Principal outstanding based on one Unit for each
$0.05 of indebtedness converted (the Unit Conversion Option"). Each Unit
consists of one share of the Companys common stock and one warrant to purchase
an additional share of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 per share
for two years from the date of
issuance. If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Creditor
will forgive the interest that accrued on the converted portion of the
Principal.
F-9
ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)
If the Creditor exercises the Unit
Conversion Option, the Creditor will receive a net profits interest (the Net
Profits Interest) on any future profits received by the Company that are
derived from the Companys Technology based on 1% of the Companys net profits
for every $10,000 of converted Principal. The Net Profits Interest will
terminate when the Creditor receives eight times the amount of converted
Principal.
The Company also agreed that in
circumstances where the Consultant introduces sub-licensees or joint venture
partners (Partnership Interest) to the Company for using the Companys
Technology, the Company shall pay 20% of the net cash proceeds received by the
Company from the Partnership Interest to the Consultant. The Company is under no
obligation to enter into an agreement or terminate any future agreement with any
Partnership Interest.

INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE
SECURITIES
|
On September 27, 2013, the Company
entered into a settlement and security release agreement with Golden Anvil.
Under the terms of the Release Agreement, the Company agreed to release Golden
Anvil from loan agreements pursuant to which, Golden Anvil owed the Company
$983,055 in secured indebtedness. In exchange for the release, Golden Anvil had
2,000,000 common shares of Gainey issued to the Company as part of an asset
purchase agreement between Golden Anvil and Gainey.
The Asset Purchase was completed on
September 30, 2013. The Gainey shares are held in escrow and will be released
pursuant to the terms of a surplus escrow agreement as follows. The company
cannot enter into any sales transaction of the Gainey shares prior to their
release.

currency exchange and other banking fees. The cost of the 400,000 Gainey shares

value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses
deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable
taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. Factors considered in
judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial
condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of
time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline,
and the Companys ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value
recovers.

was filed in Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County, by McKendry Enterprises,
Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Retirement Trust (the Landlord), alleging breach
of contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing in relation to
the lease agreement dated June 6, 2007, between the Landlord and the Company, as
amended (the Lease Agreement). The Complaint sought to recover damages of at
least $108,581, including, but not limited to: 1) $56,358 rent; 2) $52,223 for
maintenance, clean-up costs and construction; and 3) undetermined damages for

before November 24, 2014; $5,000 payable 90 days thereafter; six payments of
$7,000 due every 90 days thereafter; and two $9,000 payments due every 90 days
thereafter. Each payment had a 3-day cure/grace period. Any later payment would
trigger a default and immediate recordation/enforcement of a judgment. Payment
was secured by a judgment for $78,969 plus attorney fees incurred by Landlord to
date, plus any further attorney fees incurred in relation to the judgment. As of
April 30, 2017, the Company had fully paid the liability related to this matter.

in lieu of specific performance; and 3) damages for breach of contract.
On June 1, 2015, the Company filed a
response to the Claim, denying: 1) entering into any oral agreement; 2) that the
Plaintiff presented a potential transaction with Gainey; 3) that there was any
fee payable to Plaintiff upon completion of a transaction with Gainey; 4) any
existence of an agreement with Plaintiff and as such, the Gainey transaction was
not related to any agreement with Plaintiff; and 5) any obligation to pay a fee
to Plaintiff, contractually or otherwise. While the Company intends to
vigorously defend the lawsuit, there is no assurance that the Company will be
able to successfully defend the lawsuit.
On January 29, 2016, the Plaintiff
filed a Notice of Application (the Application) in the Supreme Court of

FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an
asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect
currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of
deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of
available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. In the Companys opinion, it is uncertain
whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully
utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to
the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is
$4,410,288 which is calculated by multiplying a 35% estimated tax rate by the
cumulative net operating loss (NOL) adjusted for the following items:
