Lithium Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Lithium Corporation (formerly Utalk Communications Inc.) was incorporated on
January 30, 2007 under the laws of Nevada. On September 30, 2009, Utalk
Communications Inc. changed its name to Lithium Corporation.
Nevada Lithium Corp. was incorporated on March 16, 2009 under the laws of Nevada
under the name Lithium Corp. On September 10, 2009, the Company amended its
articles of incorporation to change its name to Nevada Lithium Corp. Lithium
intends to engage in the exploration of certain lithium interests in the state
of Nevada. The Company is in the exploration stage. These consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Lithium Corp., have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto contained in Lithium Corp.'s Annual Report filed
with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods
presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate
the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2009 as
reported in the form 10-K have been omitted.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned
subsidiary. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion,
exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion,
exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The
dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per
share by application of the "if converted" method. In the periods in which a
loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and
warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per
share are the same.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term instruments with
maturities of three months or less.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
Computer equipment is stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets which has been estimated as 2 years.
Impairment losses are recorded on computer equipment used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by
recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, interest payable, and loans payable. Unless otherwise
noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets
and liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
MINERAL PROPERTIES
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties
are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized
including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to
verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures
do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior
agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to require an enterprise to perform an
analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests
give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to
require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative
approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in
facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at
risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those
investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entity's economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures
that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent
information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The
guidance became effective for the Company on February 1, 2010. The adoption of
the guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
CODIFICATION OF GAAP
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to establish the Accounting Standards
Codification TM ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are
also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer
issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging
Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards
Updates ("ASU"). ASUs will not be authoritative in their own right as they will
only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the
Codification does not change GAAP. The guidance became effective for the Company
for the period ending October 31, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not
have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 31, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB that
establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. Specifically, the guidance sets forth the period
after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial
statements were issued.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company adopted the changes issued by the FASB that requires the acquiring
entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date
fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose additional information needed to
evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business
combination.
The Company also adopted the changes issued by the FASB which requires assets
and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies
be recognized on the acquisition date at fair value if it is more likely than
not that they meet the definition of an asset or liability; and requires that
contingent consideration arrangements of the target assumed by the acquirer be
initially measured at fair value. The guidance is effective for the Company's
acquisitions occurring on or after February 1, 2009.
NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued changes to establish accounting and reporting
standards for all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements that
have outstanding non-controlling interests, sometimes called minority interest.
These standards require that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by outside
parties be clearly identified, labelled and presented in equity separate from
the parent's equity; the amount of net income attributable to the parent and the
non-controlling interest be separately presented on the consolidated statement
of income; accounting standards applied to changes in a parent's interest be
consistently applied; fair value measurement upon deconsolidation of a
non-controlling interest be used; and the interests of the non-controlling
owners be already identified and distinguished. The adoption of this guidance
had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In April 2008, the FASB adopted changes to require companies estimating the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider their historical
experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of
historical experience, to consider assumptions that market participants would
use about renewal or extension as adjusted for entity-specific factors. The
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is
to be applied prospectively to intangible assets whether acquired before or
after the effective date. The Company adopted the guidance on February 1, 2009.
The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Lithium Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("GAAP")
In May 2008, the FASB issued changes to identify the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy). The guidance 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. Management is
currently evaluating the guidance and assessing the impact, if any, on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In September 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance on multiple
deliverable arrangements. It updates the existing multiple-element revenue
arrangements guidance currently included under the Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") 605-25. The revised guidance primarily provides two
significant changes: 1) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence
of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to
be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and 2) requires the use of the
relative selling price method to allocate the entire arrangement consideration.
In addition, the guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue
recognition. ASU 2009-13 will be effective for the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after fiscal 2011, with early adoption permitted provided that
the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of
adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this
guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
Lithium's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates that the Company
will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will realize its
assets and liquidate its liabilities in the normal course of business. However,
Lithium has no current source of revenue,recurring losses and a deficit
accumulated during the exploration stage of $1,162,132 as of March 31, 2011.
These factors, among others, raise, substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Lithium's management plans on raising
cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as-needed basis and
in the longer term, revenues from the acquisition, exploration and development
of mineral interests, if found. Lithium's ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent on these additional cash financings and, ultimately, upon achieving
profitable operations through the development of mineral interests. The
successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company did not provide any current or deferred United States federal, state
or foreign income tax provision or benefit for the period presented because it
has experienced operation losses since inception. The Company has provided a
full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset, consisting primarily of net
operating loss carry-forwards, because of uncertainty regarding its realization.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the net deferred taxes at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:
March 31, December 31,
2011 2010
---------- ----------
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating losses carried forward $ 255,669 $ 240,545
Valuation allowance (255,669) (240,545)
---------- ----------
Total net deferred tax asset $ -- $ --
========== ==========
Lithium follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (SFAS
109) (ASC 740-10), "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 (ASC 740-10)
requires a valuation allowance, if any, to reduce the deferred tax assets
reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Management has determined that a valuation allowance of $255,669 at March 31,
2011 is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more
likely not be realized.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards amounting
to approximately $1,162,132 that expire in various amounts through 2030 in the
U.S.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2011 and through

In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are
expressed in United States dollars and all references to "common shares" refer
to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "our company"
mean Lithium Corporation, unless otherwise indicated and the term "Nevada
Lithium" means our wholly owned subsidiary, Nevada Lithium Corporation, a Nevada
corporation.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 30, 2007
under the name "Utalk Communications Inc." At inception, we were a development
stage corporation engaged in the business of developing and marketing a
call-back service using a call-back platform. Because we were not successful in
implementing our business plan, we considered various alternatives to ensure the
viability and solvency of our company.
On August 31, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent with Nevada Lithium
Corporation regarding a business combination which may be effected in one of
several different ways, including an asset acquisition, merger of our company
and Nevada Lithium Corporation, or a share exchange whereby we would purchase
the shares of Nevada Lithium Corporation from its shareholders in exchange for
restricted shares of our common stock.
Effective September 30, 2009, we affected a 1 old for 60 new forward stocks
split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized
capital increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of
$0.001 to 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and
our issued and outstanding shares increased from 4,470,000 shares of common
stock to 268,200,000 shares of common stock.
17
Also effective September 30, 2009, we changed our name from "Utalk
Communications, Inc." to "Lithium Corporation", by way of a merger with our
wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Corporation, which was formed solely for the
change of name. The name change and forward stock split became effective with
the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on October 1,
2009 under the new stock symbol "LTUM". Our CUSIP number is 536804 107.
On October 9, 2009, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Nevada
Lithium Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and the shareholders of Nevada
Lithium Corporation. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share
exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding
common stock in the capital of Nevada Lithium Corporation occurred on October
19, 2009. In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we
issued 12,350,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of
Nevada Lithium Corporation in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of
all of the 12,350,000 issued and outstanding shares of Nevada Lithium
Corporation. Also, pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, a
director of our company cancelled 220,000,000 restricted shares of our common
stock.
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification,
acquisition and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on lithium
mineralization on properties located in Nevada.
OUR CURRENT BUSINESS
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification,
acquisition and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on lithium
mineralization on properties located in Nevada.
Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on our
projects in Nevada, known as the Fish Lake Valley, Salt Wells, and Cortez
properties.
FISH LAKE VALLEY PROPERTY
Fish Lake Valley is a lithium enriched salary (also known as a Playa, dry lake,
or Salt Pan), which is located in west central Nevada in northern Esmeralda
county, and the property is roughly centered at 417050E 4195350N (NAD 27 CONUS).
We currently hold 80 acre Association Placer claims that cover approximately
6400 acres. Lithium-enriched tertiary-era Fish Lake formation rhyolitic tuffs or
ash flow tuffs have accumulated in a valley or basinal environment. Over time
interstitial formational waters in contact with these tuffs, have become
enriched in lithium, which could possibly be amenable to the extraction by
evaporative methods. Additionally evaporative brine mining is environmentally
benign, and is achieved with a minimal carbon footprint. The geological setting
at Fish Lake Valley is highly analogous to the salars of Chile, Bolivia, and
Peru. Access is excellent in Fish Lake Valley with all weather gravel roads
leading to the property from State Highways 264, and 265, and maintained gravel
roads ring the Playa. Power is available approximately 15 kilometers from the
property, and the village of Dyer is approximately 20 kilometers to the south,
while the town of Tonopah Nevada is approximately 75 kilometers to the East. The
company has completed a number of geochemical and geophysical studies on the
property, and conducted a short drill program on the periphery of the playa in
the Fall of 2010. The company plans to drill this property later on in the
summer of 2011 . The property is held under mining lease purchase agreement
dated June 1, 2009 between Nevada Lithium Corporation, and Nevada Alaska Mining
Co. Inc., Robert Craig, Barbara Craig, and Elizabeth Dickman. Nevada Lithium has
agreed to issue the vendors $350,000 worth of common stock of the company in
eight regular disbursements, the last of which is slated to occur on March 31st
2011. To date all disbursements have been made of stock worth a total of
$350,000, and the company is awaiting assignment of its 100% interest in the
claims.
18
SALT WELLS
The Salt Wells property was acquired through staking in the Fall of 2009.
Originally an approximately 12,320 acre parcel was staked, but subsequent to
initial exploration, and due to overlap of existing Fee lands, and Federal
rights of way the parcel was reduced to approximately 8500 acres in 2010. The
claims here cover the Eightmile Basin, a playa, which lies approximately 15
miles to the southeast of Fallon, the county seat of Churchill County, Nevada.
U.S. Highway 50 cuts across the northern portions of the claim block and the
Salt Wells all-weather gravel road traverses the Western portions of the block.
Power is available locally as a high voltage transmission line runs parallel to
the highway as well as another that originates at the geothermal power plant at
the southern edge of the claim block.
Exploratory sediment sampling of the playa was conducted in the summer and fall
of 2009 and 83% of the samples taken within the claim area have returned
anomalous values in lithium, with the highest value being in the order of 750
ppm Li. In 2010 continued geochemical work, and geophysical studies were
performed on the property, and a brine sampling program is currently underway
there.
The strong lithium values coupled with proximity to a geothermal field and
Quaternary faulting indicate that conditions may be favorable for the formation
of a subsurface lithium brine reservoir similar to that currently being
exploited at Silver Peak in Esmeralda County, Nevada.
The company has recently received approval of its drill permit application from
the BLM in Carson City, and it is the company's intention to drill on the
property this summer.
CORTEZ PROPERTY
Our company staked a block of approximately 4960 acres in the fall of 2009 on
this playa situated in Lander County Nevada. The property is situated about 7
miles to the south of Barrick Gold's Cortez Hills mine, and is approximately 47
miles to the southeast of Battle Mountain, the county seat. The prospect is on
the edge of the Caetano trough, where a thick sequence of tertiary volcanic
rocks with elevated lithium values have accumulated. Past sampling has indicated
that the sediments in the playa are almost ubiquitously enriched in lithium,
with values typically in the 2 - 400 ppm million range. The property is easily
accessed by gravel roads, and power is available on the eastern side of the
playa.
Our company conducted geochemical, and geophysical surveys on the property in
2009, and 2010 and are planning to drill this property in the summer of 2011.
COMPETITION
The mining industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous
individuals and companies, including many major mining companies, which have
substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs.
Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for access to funds. There
are other competitors that have operations in the area and the presence of these
competitors could adversely affect our ability to compete for financing and
obtain the service providers, staff or equipment necessary for the exploration
and exploitation of our properties.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national,
state, provincial and local laws and regulations in United States, as well as
other jurisdictions, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production,
exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection
of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material
respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in the United
States. There are no current orders or directions relating to our company with
respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2010
We had a net loss of $68,746 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which was
$36,891 less than the net loss of $105,637 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
The significant change in our results over the two periods is primarily the
result of a decrease in investor relation costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, reflects assets of $1,960,359. We had
cash in the amount of $1,326,273 and a working capital in the amount of

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flow used in operating activities during the three months ended March
31, 2011 was $60,928 a decrease of $73,865 from the $134,793 net cash outflow
during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
The primary driver of cash used in investing activities was capital spending in
the acquisition of Lithium Properties.
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011
was $11,557, which was a decrease of $47,101 from the $58,658 of cash used
investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease
in the cash used in investing activities was primarily due to less funds spent
to acquire mineral property interests.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was
$nil, which was a decrease of $1,994,522 from the $1,994,552 of cash from
financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease
in the cash from financing activities was primarily due to the Company
completing an equity financing during the previous period.
We estimate that we will spend approximately $350,000 on general and
administrative expenses, $675,000 on exploration and $20,000 on travel over the
next 12 months.
Specifically, we estimate our operating expenses and working capital
requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:
21
ESTIMATED NET EXPENDITURES DURING THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
General, Administrative Expenses $100,000
Exploration Expenses 250,000
--------
TOTAL $350,000
========
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our
company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable
operations and raising additional capital as needed.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing,
a successful program of exploration and/or development, and, finally, achieving
a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities
by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our
current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required
for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing
alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when
needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable
terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis,
we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able
to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be
forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Cash on hand as of March 31, 2011 was $1,326,273.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or
uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
FUTURE FINANCINGS
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to
continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will
result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we
will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt
or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the
expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or
sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with
our plan of operations.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular
disclosure obligations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no 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, and capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
22
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Lithium Corp., have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto contained in Lithium Corp.'s Annual Report filed
with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods
presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate
the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2009 as
reported in the form 10-K have been omitted.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned
subsidiary. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion,
exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion,
exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The
dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per
share by application of the "if converted" method. In the periods in which a
loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and
warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per
share are the same.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term instruments with
maturities of three months or less.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
Computer equipment is stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets which has been estimated as 2 years.
Impairment losses are recorded on computer equipment used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
INCOME TAXES
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by
recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, interest payable, and loans payable. Unless otherwise
noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets
and liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
MINERAL PROPERTIES
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties
are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized
including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to
verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures

Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to require an enterprise to perform an
analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests
give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to
require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative
approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in
facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at
risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those
investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entity's economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures
that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent
information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The
guidance became effective for the Company on February 1, 2010. The adoption of
the guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
CODIFICATION OF GAAP
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to establish the Accounting Standards
Codification TM ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are
also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer
issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging
Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards
Updates ("ASU"). ASUs will not be authoritative in their own right as they will
only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the
Codification does not change GAAP. The guidance became effective for the Company
for the period ending October 31, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not
have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 31, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB that
establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. Specifically, the guidance sets forth the period
after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial
statements were issued.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company adopted the changes issued by the FASB that requires the acquiring
entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date
fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose additional information needed to
evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business
combination.
The Company also adopted the changes issued by the FASB which requires assets
and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies
be recognized on the acquisition date at fair value if it is more likely than
not that they meet the definition of an asset or liability; and requires that
contingent consideration arrangements of the target assumed by the acquirer be
initially measured at fair value. The guidance is effective for the Company's
acquisitions occurring on or after February 1, 2009.
NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued changes to establish accounting and reporting
standards for all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements that
have outstanding non-controlling interests, sometimes called minority interest.
These standards require that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by outside
parties be clearly identified, labelled and presented in equity separate from
the parent's equity; the amount of net income attributable to the parent and the
non-controlling interest be separately presented on the consolidated statement
24
of income; accounting standards applied to changes in a parent's interest be
consistently applied; fair value measurement upon deconsolidation of a
non-controlling interest be used; and the interests of the non-controlling
owners be already identified and distinguished. The adoption of this guidance
had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In April 2008, the FASB adopted changes to require companies estimating the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider their historical
experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of
historical experience, to consider assumptions that market participants would
use about renewal or extension as adjusted for entity-specific factors. The
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is
to be applied prospectively to intangible assets whether acquired before or
after the effective date. The Company adopted the guidance on February 1, 2009.
The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("GAAP")
In May 2008, the FASB issued changes to identify the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy). The guidance 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. Management is
currently evaluating the guidance and assessing the impact, if any, on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In September 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance on multiple
deliverable arrangements. It updates the existing multiple-element revenue
arrangements guidance currently included under the Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") 605-25. The revised guidance primarily provides two
significant changes: 1) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence
of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to
be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and 2) requires the use of the
relative selling price method to allocate the entire arrangement consideration.
In addition, the guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue
recognition. ASU 2009-13 will be effective for the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after fiscal 2011, with early adoption permitted provided that
the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of
adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this
guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
