SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of Gold King Corp’s f/k/a U.S. Gold Corp. (“USG”) financial
condition and results of operations together with USG’s financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere
in this Current Report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. USG’s actual results may differ materially from those results described
in or implied by the forward-looking statements discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included
in the Original Form 8-K.
Overview
Gold
King Corp f/k/a U.S. Gold Corp. (“USG”) is an exploration stage company that owns certain mining leases and
other mineral rights. On July 2, 2014, USG entered into an asset purchase agreement with Wyoming Gold Mining Company, Inc. (“Wyoming
Gold”) for the purchase of the Copper King gold and copper development project located in the Silver Crown Mining district
of southwest Wyoming (the “Copper King Project”). On May 27, 2016, USG acquired certain unpatented mining claims related
to a gold development project in Eureka County, Nevada from Nevada Gold Ventures, LLC (“Nevada Gold”) and Americas
Gold Exploration, Inc. (the “Keystone Project”).
Copper
King Project
The
Copper King Project is located in southeastern Wyoming. USG’s rights to the Copper King Project are derived from two mineral
leases from the State of Wyoming. Ownership of the mineral rights remains in the possession of the State of Wyoming as conveyed
to the state by the United States. The State of Wyoming issued the mineral leases to Wyoming Gold in 2013 and 2014 and Wyoming
Gold assigned both leases to USG on June 23, 2014. Limited exploration and mining were conducted on the Copper King property in
the late 1880s and early 1900s. Since 1938, at least nine historic (pre-Strathmore) drilling campaigns by at least seven companies
and the U. S. Bureau of Mines have been conducted at Copper King property. Wyoming Gold conducted an exploration drill program
in 2007 and 2008. The focus of Wyoming Gold’s work was to confirm and potentially expand the mineralized body outlined in
the previous drill campaigns, increase the geologic and geochemical database leading to the creation of the current geologic model
and resource estimate, and to provide material for further metallurgical testing.
Keystone
Project
On
May 25, 2016, USG entered into a purchase and sale agreement, as amended and restated, with Nevada Gold and Americas Gold Exploration,
Inc. pursuant to which USG acquired certain mining claims related to a gold development project in Nevada. At the time of purchase,
the Keystone Project consisted of 284 unpatented lode mining claims situated in Eureka County, Nevada. Subsequent to the acquisition,
USG acquired 71 additional unpatented lode mining claims. No comprehensive, modern-era, model-driven exploration has ever been
conducted on the Keystone Project. Previously, significant amounts of low grade (+/- 0.02 opt) and anomalous gold were intersected,
but results were considered uneconomic, and prior projects were terminated.
Recent
Developments
On
June 9, 2017, U.S. Gold Corp. filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of
Nevada in order to change its name to “Gold King Corp”.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires
us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management
believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
the financial statements.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual
results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to
valuation of mineral rights, stock-based compensation, the fair value of common stock issued and the valuation of deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition
in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting
period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based
on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties,
compensation expense is determined at the measurement date which is the grant date. The expense is recognized over the vesting
period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain.
Mineral
Rights
Costs
of lease, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses
all mineral exploration costs as incurred as it is still in the exploration stage. If the Company identifies proven and probable
reserves in its investigation of its properties and upon development of a plan for operating a mine, it would enter the development
stage and capitalize future costs until production is established.
When
a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs are amortized on a units-of-production basis over the proven
and probable reserves following the commencement of production. The Company assesses the carrying costs of the capitalized mineral
properties for impairment under ASC 360-10, “Impairment of long-lived assets”, and evaluates its carrying value under
ASC 930-360, “Extractive Activities - Mining”, annually. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral properties. Impairment losses, if any, are measured
as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral properties over its estimated fair value.
ASC
930-805, “Extractive Activities-Mining: Business Combinations” (“ASC 930-805”), states that mineral rights
consist of the legal right to explore, extract, and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits. Mining assets
include mineral rights. Acquired mineral rights are considered tangible assets under ASC 930-805. ASC 930-805 requires that mineral
rights be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. As a result, the direct costs to acquire mineral rights are initially
capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims.
