| 1. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business | |
|
Buckingham Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 4, 2006. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915,
Development Stage Entities.
The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.
|
||
|
On August 9, 2010, the Company incorporated 0887717 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary in British Columbia, Canada.
|
||
| 2. | Going Concern | |
|
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenues since inception and has not paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit of $125,210 and an accumulated deficit of $7,663,452. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
|
||
|
As at August 31, 2011, the Company had $5,681 cash in the bank. The Company requires a minimum of $200,000 to proceed with their plan of operations over the next twelve months. If they achieve less than the full amount of financing that they require they will scale back planned exploration activities and day to day operations in order to reduce exploration expenses and general and administrative expenses to a level appropriate to the financial resources available. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds to pay the expected operating expenses for the next twelve months.
|
||
| 3. | Interim Financial Statements | |
|
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended May 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 29, 2011 with the SEC.
|
||
|
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at August 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
|
||
|
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
|
||
| 4. | Related Party Transactions and Balances | |||
| a) |
Included in accounts payable-related party at August 31, 2011, is $98,000 (May 31, 2011 - $104,000), which is due to the President of the Company, representing unpaid management fees.
These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no repayment terms.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The statements in this quarterly report that are not reported financial results or other historical information are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
, as amended. These statements appear in a number of different places in this report and can be identified by words such as “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, or their negatives or other comparable words. Also look for discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements regarding our business plans and availability of financing for our business.
You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees and may involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements due to risks facing us or due to actual facts differing from the assumptions underlying our estimates. Some of these risks and assumptions include those set forth in reports and other documents we have filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We advise you that these cautionary remarks expressly qualify in their entirety all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. Unless required by law, we do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements based on unanticipated events or changed expectations.
However, you should carefully review the reports and other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.
Presentation of Information
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the “Company” mean Buckingham Exploration Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
All dollar amounts in this quarterly report refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
On July 23, 2010, we completed a reverse split of our shares of common stock on a 1-for-400 basis. All share amounts in this quarterly report are presented on a post-split basis, unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
We were incorporated as a Nevada company on April 4, 2006. We have been engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties since our inception. We have not generated any revenues and have incurred losses since inception.
We currently own an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Lady Ermalina mineral properties, and a 100% interest in the Dome mineral properties, both located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. We have conducted limited exploration work on our mineral properties and none of our properties has been determined to contain any mineral resources or reserves of any kind.
4
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011 for more information.
Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to raise additional financing and explore our mineral properties. We plan to begin by conducting a small exploration project on each of our properties in the next month involving mapping and property surveys, among other things, at a cost of approximately $10,000 per property. We anticipate we will require approximately $0.5 million to carry out any further exploration plans over the next 12 months. As at August 31, 2011, we had cash of $5,681
and a working capital deficit of $125,210
and will require significant financing to pursue our exploration plans. There can be no
assurance that we will obtain the required financing, on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the event we are unable to obtain the required financing, our business may fail. An investment in our securities involves significant risks and you could lose your entire investment.
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended August 31, 2011 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report, as well as our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011 filed with the SEC.
Three Months Ended August 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended August 31, 2010
Lack of Revenues
We have earned no revenues and have sustained operational losses since our inception on April 4, 2006 to August 31, 2011. As of August 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,663,452. We anticipate that we will not earn any revenues during the current fiscal year or in the foreseeable future as we are an exploration stage company.
Expenses
From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to August 31, 2011, our total expenses were $2,552,999 comprised of $635,426 in professional fees, $21,531 in mineral property costs and $1,896,042 in general and administrative expenses.
Our total expenses decreased to $63,202 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 from $122,229 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in total expenses was mainly due to lower professional fees, which decreased to $18,012 in the current period from $90,399 in the prior period due to reduced activity. General and administrative expenses increased to $45,190 in the current period from $31,830 in the prior period, primarily resulting from the acquisition of mineral property interests in the current period.
5
Net Loss
For the three months ended August 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss of $63,202, compared to $122,229 for the three months ended August 31, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2011, we had nominal cash, a working capital deficit of $125,210, total assets of $13,114, total liabilities of $137,196 and an accumulated deficit of $7,663,452.
Financing Activities
We have funded our operations primarily by a combination of private placements, advances from related parties and loans. From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to August 31, 2011, financing activities provided cash of $4,452,620, primarily from the sale of our common stock and loans.
During the three months ended August 31, 2011, financing activities provided cash of $0, compared to $1,944 in the three months ended August 31, 2010, primarily from loans.
Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $59,072 for the three months ended August 31, 2011, compared to $3,204 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. An increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided cash of $3,288 in the three months ended August 31, 2011, compared to $105,213 in the prior period. Amounts due to related parties provided cash of $2,000 in the current period, compared to $19,854 in the prior period.
Investing Activities
There were no investing activities during the three months ended August 31, 2011 or 2010.
We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations and exploration activities on our mineral properties. We do not anticipate generating any revenues for the foreseeable future. Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to raise additional financing and to explore our mineral properties. We plan to begin by conducting a small exploration project on each of our properties in the next month involving mapping and property surveys, among other things, at a cost of approximately $10,000 per property. We anticipate we will require approximately $0.5 million to carry out any further exploration plans over the next 12 months.
There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional financing, on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the event we are unable to obtain the required financing, our business may fail. An investment in our securities involves significant risks and you could lose your entire investment.
6
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Going Concern
Our financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis and Note 2 to the statements identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have not generated any revenues, have achieved losses since our inception, and rely upon the sale of our common stock and loans from related and other parties to fund our operations. We do not anticipate generating any revenues in the foreseeable future, and if we are unable to raise equity or secure alternative financing, we may not be able to pursue our plans and our business may fail.
Not applicable.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this report, an evaluation was carried out by our sole officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of August 31, 2011. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, and the material weaknesses outlined below, our sole officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information may not be accumulated and communicated to our sole executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on the assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2011, the following significant deficiencies were identified:
7
| 1. | Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses. There are no segregation of duties due to the small size of the Company. The Company has a sole officer/director and does not have a majority of independent directors on its board or audit committee. The Company has no policy on fraud and no code of ethics at this time. | |
| 2. | All cash management is conducted by our sole officer, with may result in misappropriation of funds. | |
| 3. | The lack of independent directors exercising an oversight role increases the risk of management override and potential fraud. | |
| 4. | The Company is in the development stage with limited resources and limited monitoring of internal control and assessment of risk is conducted. | |
Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.
In light of these control deficiencies, management concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s disclosure controls or internal controls.
Changes in Internal Control
During the quarter ended August 31, 2011, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On August 14, 2009, Leslie Rudolph filed a Statement of Claim in the Provincial Court of British Columbia (Small Claims Court) to initiate a lawsuit against us. In the Statement of Claim, Mr. Rudolph seeks judgment for $7,832.64 and costs with respect to accounting services he provided to us from June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008. On December 1, 2009, the Court issued a default order against us for the sum of $8,261 plus court order interest from December 30, 2008 to date. We made an application to the Court to cancel the default order, which was subsequently dismissed.
