REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Royal Mines and Minerals Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the each of years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2013 and for the period from inception (December 14, 2005) through April 30, 2013. Royal Mines and Minerals Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. as of April 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2013 and for the period from inception (December 14, 2005) through April 30, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 considered an exploration stage company. The Company's primary
objectives are to 1) commercially extract and refine precious metals from its
own and others leachable assets, 2) use its lixiviation processes to convert
specific ore bodies and fly ash landfills/monofills 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
- As of April 30,
2013, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $14,349,833 from
operations and has negative working capital of $1,756,502. The Company is still
in the exploration stage and has not fully commenced its mining and minerals
processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
APRIL 30, 2013 AND 2012
|
(AUDITED)
|
The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the Company raising additional sources of
capital and the successful execution of the Companys objectives. The Company
will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity
financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in
accomplishing its objectives. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
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 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. 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.
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, prepaid expenses, 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.
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 the statement of operations.

|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
APRIL 30, 2013 AND 2012
|
(AUDITED)
|
The Company periodically evaluates
whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the
estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed
assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate
of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed
assets in measuring their recoverability.
Mineral Property Rights
Costs
of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine
development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, to expand the
capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current
production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the
property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current
production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.
Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The
Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related
property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Evaluation of the carrying value
of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs would be based
upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15,
Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
.
Exploration Costs
Exploration
costs incurred in locating areas of potential mineralization or evaluating
properties or working interests with specific areas of potential mineralization
are expensed as incurred. Development costs of proven mining properties not yet
producing are capitalized at cost and classified as capitalized exploration
costs under property, plant and equipment. Property holding costs are charged to
operations during the period if no significant exploration or development
activities are being conducted on the related properties. Upon commencement of
production, capitalized exploration and development costs would be amortized
based on the estimated proven and probable reserves benefited. Properties
determined to be impaired or that are abandoned are written-down to the
estimated fair value. Carrying values do not necessarily reflect present or
future values.
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 exploration stage 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.
As of April 30, 2013, the Company did not pay the renewal fee on the 20 acre
claim and the BLM claims due in August 2012 and allowed those claims to lapse.
The Company has recognized an impairment expense of $63,400 for the year ended
April 30, 2013.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been
rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from licensing our technology is
recognized over the term of the license agreement. Costs and expenses are
recognized during the period in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2013 AND 2012

(AUDITED)
|
Accounts Receivable
- Accounts
receivable are comprised of other receivables, which do not bear interest and
are recorded at cost. The Company extends credit to its consultants, which
receivables can be offset against commissions payable to the respective
consultants.
The allowance for doubtful accounts
represents the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses
in the Companys existing other receivables. The Company determines the
allowance based on specific customer information, historical write-off
experience and current industry and economic data. Account balances are charged
off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the
receivable will not be recovered. Management believes that there are no
concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance has not been established.
Although management believes that the allowance is adequate, it is possible that
the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable
could change. As of April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has recorded an
allowance for doubtful account of $14,041and $0, respectively.
Research and Development
- All
research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- The
Company follows ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share,
and ASC 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,
which establish standards for the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted
earnings per share for entities with publicly held common shares and potential
common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing
net income 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, such as stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalent shares
are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Common stock
equivalents, which include stock options and warrants to purchase common stock,
on April 30, 2013 and 2012 that were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive were 109,195,129 and
109,095,129, respectively.
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

For acquired properties that do not
constitute a business as defined in ASC 805-10-55-4,
Definition of a
Business
, 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, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of
option holders. 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.

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 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02,
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out
of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to improve the transparency of
reporting these reclassifications. This update is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Other comprehensive income
includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for
an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in
this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income
or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the
information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed
elsewhere in the financial statements. The new amendments will require an
organization to present (either on the face of the statement where net
income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net
income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other
comprehensive income. Additionally, the new amendments require
cross-referencing to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for
other reclassification items (that are not required under GAAP) to be
reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same
reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
guidance to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows.

LOAN RECEIVABLE
|
|
|
|
As of April 30, 2013 and April 30, 2012, the Company has
advanced $970,000 to Golden Anvil to permit Golden Anvil to complete its
refurbishment and relocation of its mineral processing plant in Nayarit,
Mexico, and has paid $13,055 in expenses on behalf of Golden Anvil, which
is included in the total loan amount of $983,055. On November 19, 2010,
the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Golden Anvil,
covering the total advanced by the Company to Golden Anvil. The loan bears
no interest, matures within 180 days of receiving the first 20 tons of
concentrates, which the Company has yet to receive, and is secured by
Golden Anvils equipment and mineral claims.
|
|
|
|
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the
Company and Golden Anvil formed a Nevada corporation called Golden Anvil
Inc. (the Joint Venture Company) and planned to contribute funding to
the Joint Venture Company totaling $3,000,000 (the Funding Amount),
including the amount of the first $600,000 Loan included in the above
totals. Upon the Company providing the Funding Amount, Golden Anvil would
transfer 100% of the Golden Anvil Mine and the Processing Plant (the
Golden Anvil Assets) to the Joint Venture Company. The additional
$2,400,000 is to be funded as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
$300,000 within 45 days of the date of the Memorandum of
Understanding (which has been paid); and
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
The balance of $2,100,000 within 180 days of the date
that Golden Anvil delivers to the Phoenix Plant the first 20 tons of
concentrate generated from the Processing Plant, which the Company has yet
to receive.

If the Company is able to complete the
funding, of which there is no assurance, and Golden Anvil transfers the assets
in the Joint Venture Company, the Joint Venture Company will be owned 50% by the
Company and 50% by Golden Anvil.
In the event that the Company is unable
to raise the Funding Amount in the time required, the Company will forfeit its
right to proceed with the Joint Venture and the Loan will be payable in 12
months with interest at 18% from the dates of advancement and secured by the
Golden Anvil Assets. The Loan will be paid with the net profits of Golden Anvil.
Any net profit earned by Golden Anvil will be credited to the earned interest
first.
Currently, Golden Anvil plans to sell
the Golden Anvil Assets to a Capital Pool Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange
(the TSX Entity) pursuant to a proposed qualifying transaction (the
Qualifying Transaction). The Company is in the process of negotiating a debt
settlement with Golden Anvil, to be completed in conjunction with the Qualifying
Transaction. Although there is no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will
be completed or that the Company will be able to complete a debt settlement with
Golden Anvil, the Company does not believe an allowance for uncollectible loan
receivable is justified at this time.

|
|
|
|
On April 2, 2007 the Company entered into a Technology
and Asset Purchase Agreement (NVRM Agreement) with Robert H. Gunnison
and New Verde River Mining Co. Inc. (NVRM), whereby the Company acquired
equipment and the technology for lixiviation of metals from ore utilizing
thiourea stabilization (Intellectual Property). The equipment and
intellectual property were acquired with the issuance of 2,000,000 shares
of the Companys $0.10 per share common stock and a future cash payment of
$300,000, for a purchase price of $500,000. The purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The intellectual
property was valued at $200,000. For the year ended April 30, 2010, the
intellectual property was deemed impaired by $50,000 and expensed
accordingly. For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Company determined
that the intellectual property was not commercially viable and deemed the
remaining $150,000 of intellectual property fully impaired and expensed it
accordingly.

The transaction was valued
at an agreed upon price of $10,500. Each mining claim is comprised of 160
acres. In August 2008 the Company did not pay the renewal fee on four (4)
of the mining claims after confirming title to the claims were void due to
not being properly located and being subject to prior segregation. On
November 28, 2011 the Company executed a quitclaim deed and agreement
acquiring the other 12.5% interest in the twenty (20) remaining mining
claims. On January 28, 2012, the fifth anniversary, the Company approved
the issuance of 350,000 shares to maintain the option to acquire 100%
legal interest in the remaining twenty (20) mining claims. The shares were
valued at the market price on the date of issuance. Through July 2012, the
mineral properties consisted of twenty-one (21) mining claims.
|
|
|
|
On March 16, 2007 the Company entered into a lease
agreement of property with one (1) mining claim, for a term of twenty
years, for exploration and potential mining production on 20 acres in
Searchlight, Nevada. The Company paid a one-time signing bonus of $5,000
upon execution of the agreement and pays a $4,000 rental fee each August.
The Company will also pay an annual royalty equal to five (5) percent of
the net profit from any mining production on the property.
|
|
|
|
In August 2012, the Company did not pay the renewal fee
on the twenty (20) mining claims leased from the BLM and did not pay the
rental fee on the one (1) mining claim in Searchlight, Nevada, and does
not plan to renew or continue exploration on those claims, and therefore
expensed those capitalized mineral properties in accordance with ASC
360-10-35-17 totaling $63,400.
