Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in the rates of exchange on foreign currencies will impact the financial position or cash flows of the Company. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, thus the Company is exposed to foreign currency risks in relation to certain payables that are to be settled in US funds. Management monitors its foreign currency exposure regularly to minimize the risk of an adverse impact on its cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss in the event that certain counterparties are unable to fulfill its obligations to the Company. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on its cash by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company does not have any cash in excess of federally insured limits. Sales taxes receivable are due from the Canadian government and notes receivable are due from stockholders with whom the Company also has advances payable. Subscriptions receivable are collateralized by the shares for which the subscriptions are paid.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company’s cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge is liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or achieving profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that fluctuations in the market prices of minerals will impact the Company’s future cash flows. The Company is exposed to market risk on the price of gold, which will determine its ability to build and achieve profitable operations, the amount of exploration and development work that the Company will be able to perform, and the number of financing opportunities that will be available. Management believes that it would be premature at this point to enter into any hedging or forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to specific market price risks.

9.  Subsequent Events

On June 20, 2017 the Company announced that it has entered into an Offer of Settlement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under which it has stipulated that the Company’s Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), registration will be revoked, directly, by reason of the Company’s failure to file the reports it was required to file with the SEC since the period ended September 30, 2013. The Offer of Settlement was made following the SEC’s institution of an action to revoke the Company’s registration under the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 12(j) thereof, on or about May 24, 2017.  On April 23, 2018, the Company filed a new registration statement with the SEC, and if and when such registration statement is declared effective, to request a U.S. registered broker-dealer to submit a Form 211 with FINRA on its behalf in order to be cleared for quotations of the Company’s common stock in the future.  While the revocation is in effect, no public trading of the Company’s common stock is allowed under applicable law.  The Company’s reporting issues started with the SEC revoking the privilege of two of the partners of our former auditing firm in 2014, which resulted in the Company being unable to rely on the financial statements audited by this firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, and which required us to re-audit the financial statements for those years, among other potential periods.  The Company has included the required December 31, 2017 and 2016, audited financial statements with the new registration.

On August 10, 2018, the SEC declared the S1 new registration statement effective as of that date. On October 12, 2018 the Company filed a Form 211 with FINRA in order to be cleared for quotations of the Company’s common stock in the future.

Overview

With respect to this discussion, the terms “we” “us” “our” and the “Company” refer to Joshua Gold Resources Inc.

(a)

Corporate History and Background.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 10, 2009.  Prior to the Stock Purchase transaction described below in this Item 2, our business purpose was to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing private company.  Accordingly, we were engaged in organizational efforts in order to put us in a position where we could seek to target and eventually acquire an existing private company.

On June 4, 2010, Ben Fuschino, our sole officer and director at that time, sold his 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares represented 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock, to Luc Duchesne and Robert Cormier for a total purchase price of $7,000 (the “Stock Purchase”).  Upon closing of the Stock Purchase, (i) Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier held a controlling 100% ownership in the Company, (ii) we changed our business and became a start-up carbon measuring company and (iii) we changed our name to Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc. to better reflect our new business enterprise.

Immediately after the closing of the Stock Purchase, on June 4, 2010, we entered into a license agreement (the “Cormier License”) with R&B Cormier Enterprises Inc. (“Cormier Enterprises”), an Ontario corporation and a license agreement (the “GSN License”) with GSN Dreamworks, Inc., an Ontario corporation (“GSN”).  The Cormier License and GSN License (collectively, the “License Agreements”) granted the Company licensed intellectual property and technology to conduct airborne and other surveys of forested lands in areas that are difficult to access. Those surveys would have been conducted in a statistically verifiable process designed for use in carbon trading programs to assess the potential value of the surveyed lands as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs.

Also, on June 4, 2010, the Company entered into consulting agreements (collectively, the “Consulting Agreements”) with Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier, pursuant to which Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier agreed to provide the Company with management and advisory services with respect to the intellectual property licensed to the Company under the Cormier and GSN Licenses.

On December 23, 2010, the Company elected to terminate the License Agreements and Consulting Agreements as the Company determined that conditions were not in place for the successful exploitation of the

19

technology covered by the License Agreements.  The termination did not given rise to any penalties against the Company as the termination was concluded through a mutual agreement of separation.

(b)

Current Business of Issuer, Acquisitions of Current Mineral Property Holdings, and Recent Material Transactions.

Upon termination of the aforementioned License and Consulting Agreements, the Company abandoned the carbon measuring business and became a mineral exploration company located in Oakville, Ontario through the acquisition of a mineral rights lease, as described in further detail below.  The Company’s principal business activity now is the exploration of mineral property interests.  The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage and substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to exploring mineral property interests.  There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable. In 2017, the Company moved its head office to Suite 2, 35 Perry Street, Woodstock, Ontario.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an exploration stage company focused on developing our business in the mineral exploration sector.  Our principal business objective for the next twelve (12) months will be to continue to develop our business plan in this sector.

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash on hand of $6,776 and current liabilities of $887,708.  We do not have sufficient capital to operate our business and will require additional funding to sustain operations through December 2018.  There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve revenues sufficient to become profitable.

We have incurred losses since inception and our ability to continue as a going-concern depends upon our ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing.  We are actively targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of our operations.  In order for us to meet our liabilities as they come due and to continue our operations, we are solely dependent upon our ability to generate such financing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations.

Net cash used in operating activities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $43,850 compared with $178,612 used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily the result of professional fees during the period. The cash flow used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of exploration, administration, professional and consulting fees, which was partially offset primarily by adjustments for stock-based compensation.

Net cash used in investing activities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $Nil compared with $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was the result of the acquisition of mineral rights.

Net cash provided by financing activities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $42,518 compared with $136,588 provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The cash flow provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily the result of advances from shareholders.  The cash flow provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of proceeds received on issuance of shares and shareholder advances.

Comparison of Three months ended September 30, 2018, to Three months ended September 30, 2017

We did not earn any revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties.  We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.

Consulting Fees.  Consulting fees increased to $78,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $27,549 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in consulting fees was primarily attributable to the bonus in shares of common stock of the Company payable to the Chief Financial Officer.

Exploration Expenses.  Exploration expenses decreased to $Nil for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $24,586 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The decrease in exploration expenses was primarily due to decreased activity.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased to $4,194 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $302 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increase in rental costs for core sample storage.

Professional Fees.  Professional fees increased to $23,123 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $7,476 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in professional fees was primarily due to costs associated with filing the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement  with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Net Income (loss).  For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred a net loss of $(110,110) as compared to a net loss of $(68,650) for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in net loss was primarily a result of increased costs described above.

Comparison of Nine months ended September 30, 2018 to Nine months ended September 30, 2017

Consulting Fees.  Consulting fees increased to $134,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $116,995 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in consulting fees was primarily attributable to the bonus in shares of common stock of the Company payable to the Chief Financial Officer.

Exploration Expenses.  Exploration expenses decreased to $1,315 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $100,653 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The decrease in exploration expenses was primarily due to decreased activity.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased to $7,666 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $2,343 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to rental cost associated with core sample storage.

Professional Fees.  Professional fees amounted to $56,774 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with $57,669 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The costs are those associated with the Company’s annual audit and filing the Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission

Net Income (loss).  For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred a net loss of $(203,889) as compared to a net loss of $(1,283,415) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The decrease in net loss was primarily a result of recognition of impairment charges against our mining assets due to going concern issues in the prior year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

(a).

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q due to limited accounting and reporting personnel, inadequate accounting policies and procedures, and a lack of segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our company. We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures prior to commencement of material operations. Consistent therewith, on an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.

(b)

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
