Overview; Plan of
Operations
The following discussion should be read
in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009.

U.S. Operations and
Assets
|
The Gold Bar
Mill.
In 2004, we purchased the 3,500 to
4,500 tpd Gold Bar CIP gold mill (the “Gold Bar Mill”) located 25 miles
northwest of Eureka, Nevada. Initially, our plan was to disassemble the
Gold Bar Mill and transport it to Bolivia to be reconstructed on our former A
Zone project in eastern Bolivia. However, for various reasons we determined that
the best course of action with regards to the Gold Bar Mill was to leave it in
place and explore our options related to the mill in Nevada. The Gold Bar Mill
was not in operation when we acquired it, and it has not been in operation
during our period of ownership. At the present time, the Gold Bar Mill is
our only significant asset (not including the Bolivian assets which are under
contract for sale).
The Gold Bar Mill is located in the
center of the Cortez Trend, a series of gold deposits at the southern end of the
Battle Mountain-Eureka Gold Belt (the second largest gold-producing area in
Nevada, and estimated to contain or have produced 31.5 million troy ounces of
gold). The Cortez Trend runs parallel to the Carlin Trend (the largest gold
producer in Nevada and one of the top three gold fields in the world with
production and estimated resources of 180 million ounces).
2
We are exploring and considering
various alternatives with respect to the Gold Bar Mill. Among the options
we are considering with respect to the Gold Bar Mill are: Rehabilitating
the Gold Bar Mill for toll refining (which is defined as processing ore through
our mill for a fixed fee or toll that is produced by a third-party mining
company from its mine) on its current
site,
|
–
|
Engaging
in a joint venture or other strategic transaction with other parties that
may be able to produce ore from their mines and wish to utilize the mill,
and
|
|
–
|
An
outright sale either for cash, or stock and other
consideration.
|
Our ability to accomplish any of the
foregoing is contingent on our obtaining sufficient financing and identifying a
joint venture partner or a suitable buyer. We anticipate the minimum cost
of refurbishing the Gold Bar Mill and completing the permitting process
necessary to bring it into operation to be in excess of $10 million.
Because the Gold Bar Mill is our principal remaining asset (other than cash and
other current assets and our litigation), shareholder approval may be required
if we choose to sell or transfer the Gold Bar Mill.
If we seek to commence a toll
processing or a joint venture operation at the Gold Bar Mill, we would be
required to obtain numerous permits from both the federal government and the
State of Nevada, which would be time consuming and expensive. If we are
able to recommence operations or engage in a joint venture with respect to the
Gold Bar Mill we expect that we would be performing milling operations and/or
toll milling on behalf of a third party and thus it is not likely we would be
engaged in the actual sale or distribution of products. Although we
believe there is a shortage of gold mills in the area of the Gold Bar Mill,
there are other companies in the general area providing milling and toll
refining services in the area including Barrick Gold Corporation, Newmont
Mining, Ltd. and Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp., who have greater financial resources
and a longer history of operations than we do.
The Jerritt Canyon Gold
Mill
As part of our program of
diversification into north-central Nevada, on October 14, 2008 we entered into a
Mill Operating Agreement (the “Queenstake Agreement”) with Queenstake USA, to
operate the 4,000 ton-per-day (tpd) Jerritt Canyon CIL gold mill located 50
miles north of Elko, Nevada (the “Jerritt Canyon Mill”). The Jerritt
Canyon Mill shut down in August 2008 due to certain mechanical and labor issues,
and in September 2008, pursuant to a verbal agreement with Queenstake USA, we
undertook the maintenance and environmental regulatory compliance operations at
the Jerritt Canyon Mill with the aim of bringing it back on-line in full
operation. From October 2008 through May 2009, we engaged in
maintenance, environmental compliance, and other operations prior to the
recommencement of operations at the Jerritt Canyon Mill. On March 25,
2009, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection authorized
the restart of operations at the Jerritt Canyon Mill. At that time, in
reliance on Queenstake USA’s representations and actions that it intended to
restart milling operations, we began hiring additional personnel. As of June 10,
2009 we had 90 employees working for us at the Jerritt Canyon Mill.
On June 10, 2009 Queenstake USA
notified us that it believed the Queenstake Agreement was terminated. We
believe that Queenstake wrongfully attempted to terminate the Queenstake
Agreement and are currently in litigation with Queenstake USA in which through
our cross-claims we have asserted various legal claims against Queenstake
USA. We are currently in negotiations with Queenstake Resources USA and
Yukon Nevada Gold Corp., and we hope to settle the legal action.
During the six months ended June 30,
2010 we did not engage in any business operations with respect to the Jerritt
Canyon Gold Mill, and we do not expect to engage in any operations at the
Jerritt Canyon Mill in the future.

B.

Bolivia
|
In and before 2008, our operations were
primarily focused on minerals exploration and mining and milling operations in
Bolivia through our Bolivian-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Eagle
International, Inc. (Bolivia). Although our Bolivian assets and
operations were once our primary focus , starting in late 2008 we have focused
our operations primarily within the United States and, as noted above, in March
2009 reduced significantly our land holdings in Bolivia. We considered a
number of factors when evaluating our options with respect to our Bolivian
operations, including:
|
·
|
The
re-election of Bolivia’s president who has been inimical to U.S.
investment in Bolivia and the current and continuing negative political
and social environment relative to U.S.
companies;
|
|
·
|
The
Bolivian tax structure for mining companies that we believe would serve to
limit the ability of our Bolivian operations to become
profitable;
|
|
·
|
The
current Bolivian administration’s apparent commitment to enact a new
mining law that creates a degree of uncertainty in the mining
sector;
|
|
·
|
Our
continuing difficulties in meeting our obligations in Bolivia and in the
United States due to our significant working capital shortages and
operating losses, including the likely loss of our mining claims due to
our inability to pay the fees that, for example, were paid on March 1,
2010 by the unaffiliated third-party Swiss corporation mentioned above;
and
|
|
·
|
Our
need to focus our limited resources on developing or otherwise monetizing
the Gold Bar Mill and seek to try to identify other mining and milling
opportunities that may enhance our shareholders’ value, and to
finally resolve our litigation with Queenstake
USA.
|
Based in large part on the above
factors, we believed it was in our best interests to sell our Bolivian assets
and operations, and continue focusing our efforts and resources on our
operations and assets within the United States. As a result, effective
March 10, 2010 we transferred control of all of our Bolivian assets and
operations (but not title to the assets) to an unrelated Swiss
corporation. We expected to complete the transfer of these assets and
operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 but to date have not been able
to do so, since the Swiss corporation has not fulfilled all of its agreed upon
obligations. To date the Swiss corporation has paid:
|
·
|
$112,000
to the Bolivian authorities as claims fees to maintain our concessions in
eastern Bolivia;
|
|
·
|
$50,000
to us, which we have used for working capital in the United States;
and
|
|
·
|
approximately
$53,000 (out of its obligation of $100,000) to satisfy certain of our
obligations in Bolivia, leaving a balance currently due (for the benefit
of our Bolivian creditors) of
$47,000.
|
Upon transfer of ownership of the
properties to the Swiss corporation the Swiss corporation is required
to:
|
§
|
pay
an additional $100,000 of our obligations to Bolivian creditors (for a
total of $200,000);
|
|
§
|
to
assume certain Golden Eagle obligations in Bolivia in an estimated amount
of $170,000; and
|
|
§
|
pay
us a 3% net smelter return on all minerals produced from the properties of
up to $3 million. The net smelter return will be on a quarterly basis if
and when mineral production is achieved from the mining concessions owned
by the Bolivian subsidiary, and will likely be subject to compliance with
Bolivian law regarding the expatriation of
capital.
|
As of the date of this report the Swiss
corporation has not completed its payment obligations as agreed, and
consequently we continue to show these obligations on our financial
statements. Based on recent discussions with the Swiss corporation, we
believe that the buyer will pay these obligations during the quarter ending
September 30, 2010; however, we can offer no guarantees that they will do so. If
the buyer does not pay these obligations then we will be required to pay our
Bolivian obligations when (and if) funds to do so become available. If the
Swiss corporation does not comply with its obligations under the existing
agreements or offer suitable consideration for the negotiation of new
agreements, we may elect to terminate the existing agreements and seek other
methods of disposing of our Bolivian assets and operations. If we are
unable to complete the sale of these assets during 2010 we do not expect to
engage in active exploration or mining operations in Bolivia and it is likely
that the concessions will expire in March 2011 as we do not intend to pay the
2011 claims fees.

C.

Anticipated
Operations.
|
Going forward we expect to focus on
business operations on the following activities summarized below:
1.
|
Exploring
and pursuing our options with respect to the Gold Bar Mill. We
currently lack the necessary financial resources to refurbish the Gold Bar
Mill. Identifying and executing upon a business opportunity
with respect to the Gold Bar Mill will likely require us to raise a
significant amount of capital.
|
2.
|
Continuing
our on-going litigation with Queenstake USA to enforce our contractual
rights, obtain monies we believe are due and owing from Queenstake USA, to
obtain the award of damages, and recoup certain costs and expenses or,
alternative, settle those claims in a manner determined to be in our best
interests.
|
3.
|
Finalizing
the transfer of ownership of our Bolivian operations and assets.
Following the transfer of ownership of these operations and assets we will
no longer have any Bolivian operations or assets (and we expect that our
outstanding obligations in Bolivia will be satisfied). If the Swiss
corporation does not fulfill its various payment obligations to acquire
these assets (as described above), we intend to explore other alternatives
with respect to these operations and assets, although there can be no
assurance that we will be able to identify and execute upon any such
alternatives.
|
In order
to assist in financing our planned operations, we will continue to seek joint
venture partners, as well as merger and acquisition candidates, or other
industry participants who would enter into joint development efforts on our
Precambrian prospects or northern Nevada milling possibilities; however, there
is no assurance that any potential joint-venture or merger partners will be
interested in evaluating these prospects or in negotiating an agreement with us
on reasonable or acceptable terms.
Assets
As of June 30, 2010, we had total net
assets of $5,162,669 compared to total assets of $5,608,436 as of December 31,
2009. Our current assets decreased to $946,779 as of June 30, 2010 from
$1,234,453 as of December 31, 2009

Net
accounts receivable are all due from Queenstake USA, for the reimbursement
of expenses related to the operation of the Jerritt Canyon Mill as well as
an administration fee. As of June 30, 2010 our accounts receivable totaled
$1,974,030 less $1,078,129 for an allowance for uncollectible accounts for
a net receivable of $895,901. While we are optimistic that we will
be able to recover payment for monies we believe are owed to us by
Queenstake USA, we have taken an allowance for bad debt in the event we
are unable to collect the full amount. We cannot guarantee that we
will be able to recover any funds that we believe are due, and we may
increase our allowance for bad debt in the future if our efforts to
collect these funds are unsuccessful or if our legal and collection
efforts take longer than
expected.

We have material capital commitments
that will likely require us to obtain adequate financing to meet these
obligations. Because of our lack of liquidity we may be unable to pay
these capital commitments and as such we are subject to the risk of being
declared in default which could result in claims against our remaining assets,
which ultimately would likely negatively affect our operations and potential
revenues. These commitments are:
|
1.
|
Our
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,669,792, which include trade
payables and general obligations. These obligations will either
become due within the next month, are currently due, or are in some cases
more than 90 days past due. Of the total accounts payable amount, $218,846
is related to accounts and wages payable we incurred while we were the
operator of the Jerritt Canyon Mill. We are reliant on payments from
Queenstake USA to meet these obligations. Queenstake USA has
not made payments to us to cover obligations we incurred on their behalf
and currently we are involved in litigation in an attempt to resolve
various issues with Queenstake USA. To the extent that we do not
receive the cash payments from Queenstake USA timely, we may have to write
the collectible balance to zero and reverse the accounting entry into
income – which will reduce our revenues during that period by an
additional $948,747. It should be noted that the production costs incurred
during the six month period is greater than the amount of cash received
from Queenstake USA (although less than the amount we believe is due to
us). We have an obligation to pay these expenses notwithstanding
Queenstake USA’s failure to make payment to us. In addition,
$162,000 of the payable amount relates to our Bolivian operations which we
have sold to an unaffiliated third party. If the transaction is completed
(of which there can be no assurance), we will be paid for the obligation
or it will be assumed by the third party and will no longer be our
obligation.
|
|
2.
|
Our
deferred wages are payable in cash to our officers in the United States in
the amount of $298,716 plus additional payroll taxes of $26,225.
Additionally, $96,082 is owed to employees in Bolivia and relates to our
Bolivian operations which we have sold to an unaffiliated third party. If
the sale of our Bolivian assets and operations is completed (of which
there can be no assurance), we expect that our obligations to any Bolivian
employees will be paid by the purchaser or the obligation will be assumed
by the third party.

|
We
have notes payable, including:
|
|
(a)
|
A
note in the face amount of $220,000 payable to Casco Credit with an
interest rate of 12%, which matured on March 24, 2009. We did not
pay this note when it was due. The creditor has not yet demanded
payment: however, it has declared the note to be in default. By
declaring the note to be in default, the note now accrues interest at a
default rate of 5% per month. This note is secured by our Gold Bar
Mill, and the creditor could attempt to foreclose against this asset,
however it has made no attempt to do so at this time. As of June 30,
2010, we had accrued $256,189 in interest on this
note.
|
|
(b)
|
A
note in the face amount of $33,000 payable to Casco Credit with and
interest rate of 12%, which matured on February 21, 2010. We did not
pay this note when it was due. The creditor has not yet demanded
payment; however, it has declared the note to be in default. By
declaring the note to be in default, the note now accrues interest at a
default rate of 5% per month. This note is secured by our Gold Bar
Mill, the creditor the holder could attempt to foreclose against this
asset however it has made no attempt to do so at this time. As of June 30,
2010 we have accrued $8,403 in interest on this
note.
|
|
(c)
|
A
note in the face amount of $60,000 payable to Miguel Simon Guardia with an
interest rate of 8% per annum which matures on December 31, 2010. As of
June 30, 2010 we have accrued $121 in interest on this
note.
|
|
(d)
|
A
note totaling $15,000 payable to John Saunders with an interest rate of 8%
per annum which matured on March 31, 2010. We were unable to
pay this amount when it became due. As of June 30, 2010 we have accrued
interest in the amount of $960 on this
note.
|
|
(e)
|
A
note payable totaling $240,800 payable to Lone Star Equity Group with an
interest rate of 8% maturing on December 31, 2010. This note is
secured by our Gold Bar mill. As of June 30, 2010 we have accrued $10,228
in interest on this note.
|
|
4.
|
We
have notes payable to related parties totaling
$98,400.
|
|
(a)
|
Effective
February 6, 2007 we issued Tracy Madsen, our Chief Financial Officer, a
promissory note to cover the payment of bonus that we originally intended
to pay through the issuance of our common stock. This note
originally was for $50,000, had a term of 2 years, and was convertible
into 11,112 shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors elected to
use a convertible promissory note to meet this commitment because at the
time we did not have sufficient amount of common stock available to pay
the bonus. On April 1, 2009 an additional $25,000 in stock
owing to Mr. Madsen convertible into 55,556 shares was added to this note
and on February 6, 2010 an additional $25,000 convertible into 55,556
shares was added to this note for a total $100,000. On May 13, 2010
$50,000 in principal and $7,423 in interest was converted into 574,230
shares of our restricted common stock. The remaining balance on the note
in the amount of $50,000 has been extended until September 30, 2010.
This note is payable to the note holder in cash or stock at the discretion
of the note holder. As June 30, 2010 we had accrued $8,892 in
interest on this note.
|
|
(b)
|
Two
notes payable in the amount of $48,400 payable to Avcon Services, Inc. a
company controlled by our Chief Financial Officer. The first note in the
amount of $33,000 matured on April 1, 2010 and carries a default rate of
5% per month until paid in full. The second note matures on August 1,
2010. These notes are secured by the Gold Bar Mill. As of June 30,
2010 we had accrued interest in the amount of $7,704 on theses
notes.

|
As
of June 30, 2010, we had four convertible debentures outstanding totaling
$115,000.
|
|
(a)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000, payable to the John
Saunders Trust which carries an interest rate of 8% per annum
payable at maturity (being July 7, 2010) and is convertible into 50,000
shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2010 we had accrued interest in
the amount of $7,890 on this convertible
debenture.
|
|
(b)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $52,000 payable to the Dewey
Williams Profit Sharing Plan and Trust which carries an interest
rate of 10% per annum payable at maturity on May 13, 2011 and is
convertible into 1,040,000 shares of our common stock. This debenture is
made up of $52,000 in principal from a previous debenture which matured on
March 18, 2010. The principal and accrued interest of $4,484 from the old
debenture was combined and converted into this new debenture. This
debenture is secured by our Gold Bar Mill. As of June 30, 2010 we had
accrued to interest of $5,196 on this convertible
debenture.
|
|
(c)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $3,000 payable to Dewey Williams
which carries an interest rate of 10% per annum payable at maturity on
June 8, 2011 and is convertible into 20,000 shares of our common stock.
This debenture is secured by our Gold Bar mill. As of June 30, 2010 we had
accrued $28 in interest on this convertible
debenture.
|
|
(d)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $10,000 payable to Richard Newberg
which carries an interest rate of $10% per annum payable at maturity on
February 3, 2012 and is convertible into 44,444 shares of our common
stock. As of June 30, 2010 we had accrued $403 in interest on this
convertible debenture.

debentures carry a conversion rate that is less the than market rate the rules
of beneficial conversion apply. The difference between the conversion rate
and the market rate is classified as a discount on the debentures and accreted
over the term of the debenture. The aggregate face amount of the
outstanding debentures is $115,000. On the balance sheet they have been
discounted by $18,542 to $96,458 as of June 30, 2010. The discounted
amount is accreted over the term of the debenture or in its entirety if the
debenture is converted during the term. During the six months ended June
30, 2010, $23,208was accreted to financing costs.

Our
obligation to pay Livstar Management Services (“Livstar”), 5% of the
compensation (not including reimbursement of expenses incurred) we
received as a result of our mill operating agreement with Queenstake USA
through a settlement agreement entered into on October 31, 2008. As
of June 30, 2010, we owed Livstar $37,076 which is included in our
accounts payable. These commissions are only payable upon receipt of
payment from Queenstake USA and will decrease with any decrease in the
management fee ultimately received by us from Queenstake USA, or may
increase should we reach a more beneficial settlement with
Queenstake. We cannot offer any assurance when, if ever, we will
receive payments from Queenstake
USA.

we owe Mr. Wilson $28,696 under these arrangements, which is included in
our accounts payable. These commissions are only payable upon
receipt of payment from Queenstake USA and will decrease with any decrease
in the management fee ultimately received by us from Queenstake, or may
increase should we reach a more beneficial settlement with Queenstake
USA. We cannot offer any assurance when, if ever, we will receive
payments from Queenstake USA.

Costs to maintain our properties have
higher priority than other current capital requirements. As a result, we
have delayed payment to some of our other creditors.
Many of the foregoing obligations are
past due, and we may not be able to timely pay others that become due in the
near future. Should we be unable to generate sufficient revenues through
business operations, or raise additional funding from outside investors,
industry participants, or other sources, we will be forced to attempt to
negotiate extensions to certain of our obligations or take other actions to try
to protect our interest in our properties and/or assets. Since Queenstake
USA terminated the Jerritt Canyon Mill operating agreement we are no longer
engaged in active business operations and (therefore) we cannot expect to
receive any revenues from operations in the near future. Historically, we
have financed our capital requirements through short-term loans from affiliates
and non-affiliates, as well as from private placements of our securities to
accredited investors. There is no assurance that we will be successful in
financing our business operations by these means. Further, if we seek to
raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities there
is no assurance that capital will be available to us on reasonable terms, if at
all. Ultimately, our ability to finance our operations will be dependent on our
ability to generate positive cash flow from operations in amounts sufficient to
support all of our financial obligations. We have attempted, and will continue
to attempt, to develop new funding sources from United States, Canada, and
overseas government agencies, private lenders, and financial institutions.
We may also conduct negotiations with other mining companies regarding a
possible merger or joint ventures to obtain economies of scale and access to
capital markets.
Equity
On March 23, 2010 our shareholders
approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-500
reverse stock split. The reverse split became effective under
Colorado law on April 28, 2010. On May 13, 2010, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority took the necessary actions, and made the required
notifications, to cause the reverse stock split to be reflected in the trading
markets. Upon the reverse split being effected every 500 shares of our
issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined into one issued
and outstanding share without any change in the par value of such shares.
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock
split. Shareholders who were entitled to a fractional share are entitled
to receive a whole share. The reverse split affected all of the holders of
our common stock uniformly and did not affect any shareholder’s percentage of
ownership interest, except to the extent that the reverse split resulted in any
holder being granted a whole share for any fractional share that resulted from
the reverse split. The number of common shares into which each of our
outstanding series of preferred stock may be convertible into, as well as the
shares of common stock underlying options, warrants and convertible debentures
was proportionately reduced and the exercise prices of any warrants or options,
and the conversion prices of any convertible debentures, was proportionately
increased by the reverse stock split.
Following the reverse stock split,
there remain 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, and 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock authorized. The number of shares of common stock
into which our various series of outstanding preferred stock outstanding are
convertible were proportionally adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock
split. The convertible debentures, convertible notes, stock payable, and
stock options also remain outstanding, but the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise were proportionally reduced. The
following table only sets forth approximate numbers because the rounding up of
fractional shares will occur on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis.

Results
of Operations
During
the first half of fiscal 2009 our operations were focused primarily on operating
the Jerritt Canyon Mill pursuant to our agreement with Queenstake USA.
However, Queenstake USA purportedly terminated that agreement in June
2009. All revenues generated during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2009 were generated through our operation of the Jerritt Canyon
Mill. Further, a significant portion of our operating expenses during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 were incurred in connection with
our operation of the Jerritt Canyon Mill. We did not engage in any
operations at the Jerritt Canyon Mill during the three or six month periods
ended June 30, 2010. Accordingly, the discussion regarding certain
components of our results of operations (such as revenues, production costs, and
operating costs) for the 2010 and 2009 periods discussed below may not provide a
meaningful comparison between the periods.
(a)
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010/Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
The following sets forth certain
information regarding our results of operations for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2010, compared with the same period in 2009.
Revenues.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we generated revenues of $0
compared to $3,359,083 in revenues during the same 2009 period. All
revenues generated during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009, were from
our mill operating agreement with Queenstake USA for maintenance and milling
operations at the Jerritt Canyon Mill. We have entered an allowance of bad
debt totaling $1,078,129 against receivables related to our Jerritt Canyon
operations.
Production Costs.
During the three-month period ending June 30, 2010, we had cost of goods sold of
$0. During the corresponding 2009 period we recorded production
costs of $2,714,740. Production costs during the three month period ended
June 30, 2009 were related to our operating contract with Queenstake USA. It
should be noted that the production costs incurred during the three month period
is greater than the amount of cash received from Queenstake USA (although less
than the amount we believe is due to us). We are in litigation with
Queenstake to recover the amounts we believe to be properly due to us. We
have an obligation to pay these expenses notwithstanding Queenstake USA’s
failure to make payment to us.
Exploration and Development
Expenses. Exploration and development costs decreased by $10,660, to
$13,297 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $23,957 for the
comparable 2009 period. Exploration and development costs decreased
primarily as a result of our discontinuation of operations at the C Zone in
Bolivia later in 2009. Most exploration and development costs that were
incurred during the 2009 and 2010 periods were related to maintenance work
conducted at our Gold Bar Mill as we had discontinued work in Bolivia by that
time.
General & Administrative
Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by
$19,183, to $183,471 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from
$202,654 during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in our
general administrative expense is primarily attributable to the
discontinuation of our operations in Bolivia but were somewhat offset by an
increase in legal expenses which were directly related to our on-going
litigation with Queenstake USA.
Bad Debt
Expense. Bad debt expense was $0 during the three months ended June
30, 2010 and $446,334 during the three month period ended June 30, 2009.
Following the termination of our contract with Queenstake USA, we took an
allowance for bad debt expense of 10% per quarter. During the quarter ending
June 30, 2010 we did not take this expense as we are optimistic that we will
reach a settlement with Queenstake USA in the near future (although there can be
no assurance that we will ultimately enter into a favorable settlement) and that
an allowance for bad debt was not necessary this quarter.
Previously (and through the period ended March 31, 2010) we have entered an
allowance of bad debt for a total of $1,078,129. While we fully expect to
recover payment for monies owed that we believe are owed to us, we have taken an
allowance for bad debt in the event we are unable to collect the full
amount. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover any funds that
we believe are due to us, and we may increase our allowance for bad debt in the
future if our efforts to collect these funds are unsuccessful or if our legal
and collection efforts take longer than expected.
10
Depreciation and Depletion
Expenses. Depreciation and depletion decreased by $14,683 to $51
during the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $14,734 during the same period
in 2009. The decrease was the result of the impairment of all fixed assets
in Bolivia as of December 31, 2009, related to the transfer of control (and
potentially the ultimate sale of) Bolivian operations during the quarter ended
March 31, 2010.
Operating Loss.
Operating loss increased by $153,484 to $196,820 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010, from an operating loss of $43,336 for the three months ended June
30, 2009. The increased loss was primarily due to the termination of our
operating contract with Queenstake USA and an increase in legal fees related to
our lawsuit with Queenstake USA. If the amounts that we believe are due to us
from Queenstake USA prove not to be collectible, or the payment thereof
continues to be delayed, we may not be able to recognize those amounts as
revenues. Such a restatement of financial statements (if required) would
increase our operating loss for the period by $998,747.
Interest
Expense. Interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30,
2010, increased by $118,724 to $148,787, from $30,063 during the same 2009
period. The increase was primarily the result of penalty interest which
accrued on certain notes that are payable.
Loss on Sale of
Assets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we incurred a net
loss of $0 from the sale and disposition of assets. During the 2009 period
there was a $59,350 loss on the sale of fixed assets, related to disposition of
assets in Bolivia.
Accretion of Note
Discount. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, we incurred
$0 in costs related to the accretion of the discount on debentures and
convertible notes payable compared to $99,295 during the same 2009 period.
As of June 30, 2010, we had four convertible debentures outstanding totaling
$115,000, which on our balance sheet have been discounted by $18,542 to
$96,458. The discounted amount is accreted over the term of the debenture
or in its entirety if the debenture is converted during the term.
Gain (loss on value of
derivative liability. The loss on the value of derivative
liabilities was $0 during the three-months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
$226,618 during the same 2009 period. This loss was resulted from the issuance
of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at a cost lower than market price during
the three month period ended June 30, 2009.
Other Net Expenses and
Income. Other expenses net of other income for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010, were $0 compared to other expense of $36,749 during the same 2009
period. This decrease was the result of the sale of our Bolivian
operations.
Net Loss. Net
loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, decreased by $149,804 to
$345,607 from $495,411 during the same 2009 period. The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in bad debt expense related to the collection of
receivables from Queenstake USA, as we believe we are close to a settlement with
Queenstake.
(b)
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010/Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
Revenues.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated revenues of $0 compared
to $4,173,766 in revenues during the same 2009 period. All revenues
generated during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, were from our mill
operating agreement with Queenstake Resources USA, Inc. (“Queenstake” the wholly
owned subsidiary of Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. [“YNG”]) for maintenance and milling
operations at the Jerritt Canyon gold mill in central Nevada (which agreement
has been terminated by Queenstake USA as we have discussed above, as well as in
Part II, Item 1 below). Through the termination of our mill operating agreement
by Queenstake USA at the Jerritt Canyon mill we had 82 employees working on-site
at the Jerritt Canyon mill performing duties related to its operation. We have
entered an allowance of bad debt totaling $1,078,129 against receivables related
to our Jerritt Canyon operations.
11
Production Costs.
During the six-month period ending June 30, 2010, we had cost of goods sold of
$0 related to expenses at our Jerritt Canyon mill operations. During
the corresponding 2009 period we recorded production costs of $3,391,072.
Production costs during the six month period ended June 30, 2009 were related to
our operating contract with Queenstake Resources, USA. It should be noted that
the production costs incurred during the six month period were greater than the
amount of cash received from Queenstake USA (although less than the amount we
believe is due to us). We are in litigation with Queenstake to recover the
amounts we believe to be properly due to us. We have an obligation to pay
these expenses notwithstanding Queenstake USA’s failure to make payment to
us.
Exploration and Development
Expenses. Exploration and development costs decreased by $35,978, to
$29,807 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $65,785 for the comparable
2009 period. Exploration and development costs decreased as a result of
the discontinuation of operations at the C Zone in Bolivia during 2008.
Most exploration and development costs that were incurred were related to
maintenance work conducted at our Gold Bar mill.
General & Administrative
Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by
$17,616, to $454,081 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $471,697
during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in our general
administrative expense is primarily attributable to the discontinuation of
our operations in Bolivia offset by an increase in legal expenses which were
directly related to our litigation with Queenstake in order to recover monies
owed to us as a result of the termination of our agreement to operate the
Jerritt Canyon mill.
Bad Debt Expense. Bad
debt expense decreased by $243,646 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to
$202,688 from $446,334 during the six month period ended June 30, 2009.
Following the termination of our contract with Queenstake Resources USA, Ltd, we
took an allowance for bad debt expense of 10% per quarter. During the quarter
ending June 30, 2010 we did not take this expense as a result of our
negotiations with Queenstake to settle our lawsuit and receive payment for our
outstanding receivables. We believe that we are close enough to a
settlement that an allowance for bad debt was not necessary this quarter. We
cannot guarantee that we will be able to collect all fund s owed to us under the
operating contract. We have entered an allowance of bad debt for a total
of $1,078,129. While we fully expect to recover payment for monies owed to
Golden Eagle by Queenstake, we have taken an allowance for bad debt in the event
we are unable to collect the full amount. We cannot guarantee that we will
be able to recover any funds due to Golden Eagle and we may increase our
allowance for bad debt in the future if our efforts to collect these funds are
unsuccessful or if our legal and collection efforts take longer than
expected.
Depreciation and Depletion
Expenses. Depreciation and depletion decreased by $33,508 to $51
during the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $33,610 during the same period
in 2009. The decrease was the result of the impairment of all fixed assets
in Bolivia as of December 31, 2009, related to the sale of our Bolivian
operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Operating Loss.
Operating loss increased by $451,946 to $686,678 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010, from an operating loss of $234,732 for the six months ended June
30, 2009. The increased loss was primarily due to the termination of our
operating contract with Queenstake Resources USA, Ltd. and an increase in legal
fees related to our lawsuit with Queenstake. If the amounts due to us from
Queenstake USA prove not to be collectible, or of delayed collectability, we may
not be able to recognize those amounts as revenues. Such a restatement of
financial statements (if required) would increase our operating loss for the
period by $998,747.
Interest
Expense. Interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30,
2010, increased by $151,839 to $202,320, from $50,481 during the same 2009
period. The increase was primarily the result of penalty interest which
accrued on our Casco notes payable.
12
Loss on Sale of
Assets. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we
incurred a net loss of $8,261 from the sale and disposition of assets in
Bolivia. During the same 2009 period there was a $55,385 loss on
the sale of fixed assets.
Asset
Impairment. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we
impaired assets in Bolivia for a total of $54,763 compared to $0 impairment
during the same 2009 period. The impairment was the final impairment related to
our assets in Bolivia as valued by the sale of our Bolivian operations during
the quarter ending March 31, 2009
Accretion of Note
Discount. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, we incurred
$23,208 in costs related to the accretion of the discount on debentures
and convertible notes payable compared to $136,218 during the same 2009
period. As of June 30, 2010, we had four Convertible Debentures
outstanding totaling $115,000. On the balance sheet they have been
discounted by $18,542 to $96,458. The discounted amount is accreted over
the term of the debenture or in its entirety if the debenture is converted
during the term. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, $23,208 was
accreted to financing costs.
Gain (loss) on value of
Derivative liability. The loss on the value of derivative
liabilities was $0 during the six-months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
$226,618 during the same 2009 period. This loss was resulted from the issuance
of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at a cost lower than market price during
the six month period ended June 30, 2009.
Other Net Expenses and
Income. Other expenses net of other income for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010, were $0 compared to other expense of $245,903 during the same
2009 period. This decrease was the result of the sale of our Bolivian
operations.
Net Loss. Net
loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, increased by $27,092 to
$976,429 from $949,337 during the same 2009 period. The increase was
primarily due to the loss of revenue from the termination of operating contract
with Queenstake Resources USA, Ltd. and a decrease in bad debt expense
related to the collection of receivables from Queenstake as we believe we are
close to a settlement with Queenstake
Liquidity
and capital resources
Our auditors issued a going concern
opinion on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2009 as we had a significant working capital deficit and we had substantial
losses since our inception. These and other matters raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to our working
capital deficit of $2,244,225 at June 30, 2010 and $1,649,318 at December 31,
2009, we are unable to satisfy our current cash requirements for any substantial
period of time through our existing capital. We anticipate total operating
expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 pending adequate financing over the
next twelve months for general and administrative expenses.
Our cash
balance of $4,900 as of June 30, 2010, is insufficient to meet these planned
expenses. In order to continue to pay our expenses we may seek to raise
additional cash by means of debt and/or equity financings. We have
substantial commitments as summarized under the heading Capital Commitments and
Requirements above that are subject to risks of default and forfeiture of
property and mining rights. If we are unable to meet our obligations, or
negotiate satisfactory arrangements, we may have to liquidate our business and
undertake any or all the steps outlined below.

that this will always be the case in the future.

Controls and
procedures
|
Our
management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our
principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of June
30, 2010 (the end of the period covered by this report). Based on that
evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer
have concluded that because of the material weakness identified in our
disclosure controls described in our annual report for the year ended December
31, 2009 on Form 10-K, that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of June 30, 2010. Due to a lack of financial resources, we
are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate
the material weaknesses identified.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal proceedings
1.
GEII v.
Queenstake Resources USA, Inc., Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp., et
al.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010
there were no material developments in our on-going litigation with Queenstake
USA that was initiated in June 2009 and is described in more detail in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
2. United
Rentals Northwest, Inc. v. Golden Eagle International, Inc., Queenstake
Resources USA, Inc., Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp., et. al. On
December 31, 2009 United Rentals Northwest, Inc. filed a complaint against us,
Yukon-Nevada Gold Corporation and Queenstake Resources USA, Inc. in the Fourth
District Court in Elko, Nevada. In its complaint United Rentals is seeking
payment for construction rental equipment supplied to us, Yukon-Nevada Gold
Corporation and Queenstake Resources USA in the amount of $52,845 plus
attorney’s fees. A notice and claim of lien was recorded on the Jerritt Canyon
mill on October 6, 2009.
14
On February 16, 2010, we filed an
answer to this complaint in the Fourth District Judicial Court in Elko, Nevada.
In our answer we allege that we had contracted with Queenstake Resources USA,
Inc. and that Queenstake/YNG are responsible for payments to United Rentals
Northwest, Inc. On June 18, 2010 we received notice from Queenstake USA that
they have paid this obligation in full. We have also received a statement from
United Rentals indicating that payment has been made in full. We have not yet
however received notification that this complaint has been
dismissed.
3. Bright
v. Golden Eagle International, Inc., Rocky Mountain Hospital and Medical
Service, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, et. al. On
February 26, 2010, we were served with a complaint in the case of Bright v. Golden Eagle, et al.,
filed in the Fourth District Court of Elko County that alleges that we
breached our employment agreement to Mr. Bright, who was our employee until June
10, 2010, by not maintaining his health insurance through the period in which
his wife gave birth to the Bright’s child in the Rocky Mountain Hospital. The
complaint alleges further that all of the defendants breached their various
contractual obligations and duties to the Brights, were negligent in the failure
to pay the Brights’ medical bills associated with the delivery of their child,
and negligently and intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the Brights.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has sought to have this matter removed to the
Federal District Court in Reno, Nevada. The case is ongoing and we have, and
expect to continue to, defend this matter. We have been informed by
our legal counsel that Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nevada has paid this
claim in full. As part of this settlement we were required to pay a
portion of the Plaintiff’s legal fees in the amount of $2,412 which we paid. We
believe that this complaint has been dismissed, however, we have not yet
received documentation from the court on this matter.
4. Old
Dominion Freight Line, Inc. v. Golden Eagle International, Inc. On April
15, 2010, Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (“Old Dominion”) filed a complaint in
the Third District Court of Utah against us to collect $3,327.89 for freight
charges on deliveries that Old Dominion made to the Jerritt Canyon mill north of
Elko, Nevada. We filed an answer to Old Dominion’s complaint alleging mistake on
Old Dominion’s part as to various specific allegations that it made in its
complaint, and further asserting affirmative defenses that the matter should
have been brought in Elko County, Nevada, were all of the acts complained of
occurred and the location of all of the witnesses to the event. Moreover, we
alleged that Old Dominion failed to join two indispensable parties, Queenstake
Resources USA, Inc. and Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp., the real parties in interest
and the ultimate beneficiaries of any consideration or service given by Old
Dominion. On July 15, 2010, Old Dominion filed the Plaintiff’s first set of
requests for admissions and interrogatories and requests for production. The
case is ongoing and we have, and expect to continue to, defend this
matter.
Item
1A Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to
the information included in risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, except for the
following.
As of December 31, 2009 we identified
material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures, and we currently
believe that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting, and such weaknesses have not been remedied.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 requires management to assess our internal control over financial
reporting (“ICFR”) pursuant to a defined framework. In our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 management identified a
material weakness in our disclosure controls as a result of several material
weaknesses identified in our ICFR. There are inherent limitations in
the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even
effective ICFR can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial
statement preparation and may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Material weaknesses make it more likely that a
material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected. In addition, effective ICFR at any point in
time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions
or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established
policies and procedures.

2. Unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds.
The following are the sales
of unregistered securities that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010
or subsequently, that were not previously disclosed in a quarterly report on
Form 10-Q or in a current report on Form 8-K.
Common
Stock
1. On
May 27, 2010, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock upon the conversion
of 40,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock. The shares of Series D
Preferred Stock were converted into common stock at a conversion rate of one
share of Series D Preferred Stock for 5 shares of common (as adjusted for the
1-for-500 reverse stock split effected during the quarter). This
resulted in a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share of common stock,
although we did not receive cash consideration upon the
conversion. We relied on the exemptions from registration provided in
Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “1933
Act”) for this issuance because the issuance: did not involve a public offering
and was made without general solicitation or advertising; the investor
previously represented to us that it is an “accredited investor”, and that he
acquired our securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or
for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
2. On
May 27, 2010, we issued 4,609 shares of our common stock to pay accrued interest
that was due under the terms of a promissory note. The conversion was
executed at $2.00 per share and we did not receive cash upon the issuance of
these shares We relied on the exemptions from
registration provided in Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the
Securities Act for this issuance because the issuance: did not involve a public
offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising; the investor
previously represented to us that it is an “accredited investor”, and that he
acquired our securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or
for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
3. On
June 10, 2010, we issued 201,801 shares of our common stock upon the conversion
of $25,000 in principal plus $3,858 in interest that was due under a convertible
debenture. The conversion was executed at $0.143 per share and we did not
receive cash upon the conversion of the debenture. We relied on the
exemptions from registration provided in Sections 4(2) and 4(6)
of the Securities Act for this issuance because the issuance: did not involve a
public offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising; the
investor previously represented to us that she is an “accredited investor”, and
that he acquired our securities for investment purposes only and not with a view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
4. On
June 23, 2010, we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock upon the conversion
of 25,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock. The shares of Series D
Preferred Stock were converted into common stock at a conversion rate of one
share of Series D Preferred Stock for 5 shares of common (as adjusted for the
1-for-500 reverse stock split effected during the quarter). This
resulted in a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share of common stock,
although we did not receive cash consideration upon the
conversion. We relied on the exemptions from registration provided in
Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act for this issuance because the

of 6,400 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock. The shares of Series D
Preferred Stock were converted into common stock at a conversion rate of one
share of Series D Preferred Stock for 5 shares of common (as adjusted for the
1-for-500 reverse stock split effected during the quarter). This
resulted in a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share of common stock,
although we did not receive cash consideration upon the conversion. We relied on
the exemptions from registration provided in Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the
Securities Act for this issuance because the issuance: did not involve a public

debenture. The debenture, and its accrued interest, is convertible
into restricted shares of our common stock at any time by the holder of the
debenture. If converted into restricted common stock, the conversion shall be at

the beneficial owner of, more than 4.99% of our common stock at any given time,
unless within 60 days of the expiration of the Note or if a merger or other
substantial reorganization of our capital structure is imminent. We relied on

Note
B - Organization and Nature of Business
Organization and Nature of
Business
Golden
Eagle International, Inc. (“we,” “us” or “Golden Eagle”) was incorporated in
Colorado on July 21, 1988. From late 2008 until June 10, 2009 we were engaged in
contract gold milling operations in the state of Nevada in the United
States.
We have
also been involved in the business of minerals exploration, mining and milling
operations, in Bolivia through our Bolivian-based wholly-owned subsidiary,
Golden Eagle International, Inc. (Bolivia); however, those operations were
suspended in 2009 in part as the result of the negative political and social
environment in Bolivia as well as changes in the Bolivian taxing scheme; and in
March 2010 we transferred control of our Bolivian assets and operations to a
third party although we retain ownership of those assets. We expect
to conclude the transaction for the complete transfer of ownership of those
assets in the third quarter of 2010, although there can be no assurance that
transaction will be fully consummated.
Additionally
as of December 31, 2009 we owned the following gold mills which are not
currently in operation:

Swiss corporation, although we retain ownership of the C Zone
Mill. There can be no assurance that the unaffiliated third party
will complete the acquisition of our Bolivian assets.
As of the
2009 year-end, we owned the following mineral prospects in Bolivia which are not
currently in operation, but are being maintained (except as set forth in notes 1
below):

21On March
1, 2009, we elected to reduce our mining concessions in the Precambrian Shield
in eastern Bolivia from 136,500 acres to 42,731 acres. We retained the Buen
Futuro claims containing the A Zone on which we have generated the most drill
and other sampling data, as well as the Gran Serpiente claims on which the C
Zone gold mill and mine are located. We also retained the Cobra claims on the
northern end of the Ascension Gold-Copper Trend. As a subsequent event, control
of these assets was transferred to an unaffiliated Swiss Corporation on March
10, 2010, although we retain ownership of the underlying
assets.

On March
1, 2009, we elected not to renew our mining concessions for the Tipuani-Cangalli
prospect in western Bolivia, which consisted of 12,000 acres in the Tipuani
River Valley. We have no further interest in the Tipuani-Cangalli
prospect.
We
entered into an agreement with Queenstake USA to operate the Jerritt Canyon gold
mill (the “Jerritt Canyon Mill”) located 50 miles north of Elko, Nevada on
October 14, 2008. From mid September 2008 until March 23, 2009 we performed
maintenance and environmental regulatory compliance functions at the mill and
assisted the mill owner, Queenstake USA, Inc. (“Queenstake USA”) in securing
approval from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection to restart milling
operations. On March 25, 2009 approval was granted to recommence
operations at the Jerritt Canyon Mill and operations recommenced on that
day. However, on June 10, 2009 the agreement with Queenstake USA to
operate the mill was purportedly terminated by Queenstake USA, and we are
currently engaged in litigation in the Fourth District Court for Elko County,
Nevada, which is still pending, to enforce our contractual rights. We
have asserted cross claims for damages and performance obligations against
Queenstake USA, Queenstake Resources, Ltd., the guarantor corporation on the
agreement, Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. (“YNG”), Queenstake USA’s parent
corporation, and an investor in YNG who is a French national residing in
Switzerland.
None of
our mining prospects are currently in the production stage. We
believe the Bolivian government has become more hostile to investment from the
United States, and as a result during 2009 reduced our operations in Bolivia
significantly. We also discontinued mining and milling operations on our C Zone
mine and mill in December of 2008 due to the shortage of diesel fuel, political
instability and a substantial change in the Bolivian tax structure for mining
companies that severely limited our ability to become profitable on our Bolivian
operations.
Organization
of Subsidiaries and Bolivian Mining Activities
In
January 1996, we organized two Bolivian corporations, Golden Eagle Bolivia
Mining, S.A. (“GEBM”) and Eagle Mining of Bolivia, Ltd. (“EMB”), to acquire
mining rights to 5,000 acres from United Cangalli Gold Mining Cooperative, Ltd.
(“UCL”). We own a majority interest in those companies. In 2001, Golden Eagle
formed a wholly owned Bolivian corporation, Golden Eagle International, Inc.
Bolivia (“GEII Bolivia”) to conduct all continuing operations in Bolivia. In
2002, we transferred substantially all agreements, obligations, assets and
mining rights in Bolivia to GEII Bolivia. GEBM and EMB are currently inactive.
Control of GEII Bolivia was transferred to an unaffiliated Swiss Corporation on
March 10, 2010, although we continue to own GEII Bolivia and the underlying
assets. There can be no assurance that the unaffiliated third party
will complete the acquisition of our Bolivian assets.
Going Concern
Considerations
The
accompanying financial statements have been presented assuming we will continue
as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, we had a working capital deficit of
$2,244,225 as of June 30, 2010 and we have incurred substantial losses of
$61,956,780 since our inception. In addition, we discontinued operations at our
C Zone mine and mill in December 2008. Our agreement with Queenstake USA to
operate the Jerritt Canyon Mill was purportedly terminated by Queenstake USA on
June 10, 2009, and we have not engaged in any revenue producing operations since
that time. We can provide no assurance as to if or when we may generate revenues
or recommence any milling operations.
There is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.
We will
likely seek to obtain additional funds, through private placements of debt or
equity securities, short-term loans, suitable joint venture relationships and
long-term debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that
capital or financing will be available to us on reasonable terms, if at
all.

E – Payables
We have
material capital commitments that will likely require us to obtain adequate
financing to meet these obligations. Because of our lack of liquidity
we may be unable to pay these capital commitments and as such they are subject
to risks of default which could result in the forfeiture of property and mining
claim rights. The occurrence of any such risks will negatively affect
our operations and potential revenues. These commitments are:
|
1.
|
Our
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,669,792, which include trade
payables and general obligations. These obligations will either
become due within the next month, are currently due, or are in some cases
more than 90 days past due. Of the total accounts payable amount, $218,846
is related to accounts and wages payable incurred as the operator of the
Jerritt Canyon mill. We are reliant on payments from Queenstake Resources
USA, Inc. to meet these obligations. At the time of this filing,
Queenstake owes us $2,026,876 out of which we intend to pay our accounts
payable. Queenstake has not made payments to us to cover these
obligations incurred on their behalf. We have filed a complaint
against Queenstake Resources USA in the Fourth Judicial District Court of
the state of Nevada for Elko County to obtain payment to retire these
obligations. A more detailed description of this action is contained under
part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings. We are in litigation with Queenstake
USA at the present time and do not expect to receive the cash for the
amount due until the litigation is resolved, and then only to the extent
that Queenstake USA is capable of making payment to us, or to the extent
we are able to hold its parent liable for its debts. We
have booked an allowance for uncollectible accounts in the amount of
$1,078,129. To the extent that we do not receive the cash payments from
Queenstake USA timely, we may have to write the collectible balance to
zero and reverse the accounting entry into income – which will reduce our
revenues during that period by an additional $948,747. It should be noted
that the production costs incurred during the six month period is greater
than the amount of cash received from Queenstake USA (although less than
the amount we believe is due to us). We have an obligation to
pay these expenses notwithstanding Queenstake USA’s failure to make
payment to us. In addition, $162,000 of the payable amount
relates to our Bolivian operations which we have sold to an unaffiliated
third party. If the transaction is completed (of which there can be no
assurance), we will be paid for the obligation or it will be assumed by
the third party and will no longer be our
obligation.
|
|
2.
|
Our
deferred wages are payable in cash to our officers in the United States in
the amount of $298,716 plus additional payroll taxes of
$26,225. Additionally, $96,082 is owed to employees in Bolivia
and relates to our Bolivian operations which we have sold to an
unaffiliated third party. If the transaction is completed (of which there
can be no assurance), we will be paid for this obligation or it will be
assumed by the third party and will no longer be our
obligation.

We
have other notes payable,
including:
|
|
(a)
|
A
note in the face amount of $220,000 payable to Casco Credit with an
interest rate of 12%, which matured on March 24, 2009. We did
not pay this note when it was due. The creditor has not yet
demanded payment; however, it has declared the note to be in
default. By declaring the note to be in default, the note now
accrues interest at a default rate of 5% per month. This note
is secured by our Gold Bar Mill, and the creditor could attempt to
foreclose against this asset, however it has made no attempt to
do so at this time. As of June 30, 2010, we had accrued
$256,189 in interest on this note.
|
|
(b)
|
A
note in the face amount of $33,000 payable to Casco Credit with and
interest rate of 12%, which matured on February 21, 2010. We
did not pay this note when it was due. The creditor has not yet
demanded payment however; it has declared the note to be in
default. By declaring the note to be in default, the note now
accrues interest at a default rate of 5% per month. This note
is secured by our Gold Bar Mill, the creditor the holder could attempt to
foreclose against this asset however it has made no attempt to do so at
this time. As of June 30, 2010 we have accrued $8,403 in interest on this
note.

A
note payable totaling $240,800 payable to Lone Star Equity Group with an
interest rate of 8% maturing on December 31, 2010. This note is

|
We
have notes payable to related parties totaling
$98,400.
|
|
(a)
|
Effective
February 6, 2007 we issued Tracy Madsen, our Chief Financial Officer, a
promissory note to cover the payment of contractual retention bonuses
payable that we originally intended to pay through the issuance of our
common stock. This note originally was for $50,000, had a term
of 2 years, and was convertible into 11,112 shares of our common stock.
Our Board of Directors elected to use a convertible promissory note to
meet this retention bonus commitment because we did not have a sufficient
amount of common stock available for issuance. On April 1, 2009 an
additional $25,000 in stock owing to Mr. Madsen convertible into 55,556
shares was added to this note and on February 6, 2010 an additional
$25,000 convertible into 55,556 shares was added to this note for a total
$100,000. On May 13, 2010 $50,000 in principal and $7,423 in
interest was converted into 574,230 shares of our restricted common stock.
The remaining balance on the note in the amount of $50,000 has been
extended until September 30, 2010. This note is payable to the
note holder in cash or stock at the discretion of the note
holder. As June 30, 2010 we had accrued $8,892 in interest on
this note.
|
|
(b)
|
Two
notes payable in the amount of $48,400 payable to Avcon Services, Inc. a
company controlled by our Chief Financial Officer. The first note in the
amount of 33,000 matured on April 1, 2010 and carries a default rate of 5%
per month until paid in full. The second note matures on August 1,
2010. These notes are secured by the Gold Bar Mill. As of June
30, 2010 we had accrued interest in the amount of $7,704 on this
note.
|
|
5.
|
As
of June 30, 2010, we had four convertible debentures outstanding totaling
$115,000.
|
|
(a)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000, payable to the
John Saunders Trust which carries an interest rate of 8% per
annum payable at maturity on July 7, 2010 and is convertible into 50,000
shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2010 we had accrued
interest in the amount of $7,890 on this convertible
debenture.
|
|
(b)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $52,000 payable to the
Dewey Williams Profit Sharing Plan and Trust which carries an
interest rate of 10% per annum payable at maturity on May 13, 2011 and is
convertible into 1,040,000 shares of our common stock. This debenture is
made up of $52,000 in principal from a previous debenture which matured on
March 18, 2010. The principal and accrued interest of $4,484 from the old
debenture was combined and converted into this new
debenture. This debenture is secured by our Gold Bar mill. As
of June 30, 2010 we had accrued interest of $5,196 on this convertible
debenture.

convertible debenture in the amount of $3,000 payable to Dewey Williams
which carries an interest rate of 10% per annum payable at maturity on
June 8, 2011 and is convertible into 20,000 shares of our common stock.
This debenture is secured by our Gold Bar mill. As of June 30, 2010 we had
accrued $28 in interest on this convertible
debenture.

(d)
|
A
convertible debenture in the amount of $10,000 payable to Richard Newberg
which carries an interest rate of $10% per annum payable at maturity on
February 3, 2012 and is convertible into 44,444 shares of our common
stock. As of June 30, 2010 we had accrued $403 in interest on
this convertible debenture.
|
As these
debentures carry a conversion rate that is less the than market rate the rules
of beneficial conversion apply. The difference between the conversion
rate and the market rate is classified as a discount on the debentures and
accreted over the term of the debenture. The aggregate face amount of
the outstanding debentures is $115,000. On the balance sheet they
have been discounted by $18,542 to $96,458 as of June 30, 2010. The
discounted amount is accreted over the term of the debenture or in its entirety
if the debenture is converted during the term. During the six months
ended June 30, 2010, $23,208 was accreted to financing costs.

obligation for monthly lease payments of $1,619 per month for our Salt
Lake City, Utah office, which matures on July 31, 2010. As of August 1,

whereby we pay a monthly lease amount of $810 on a month to month basis
with no further obligations.

USA through a settlement agreement entered into on October 31, 2008,
which amended a Consulting Agreement entered into on June 2, 2007, which
replaced an earlier agreement dated April 18, 2007. As of June
30, 2010, we owed Livstar $37,076 which is included in our accounts
payable. These commissions are only payable upon receipt of
payment from Queenstake USA and will decrease with any decrease in the
management fee ultimately received by us from Queenstake or may increase
should we reach a more beneficial settlement with
Queenstake. We cannot offer any assurance when, if ever, we
will receive payments from Queenstake
USA.

Our
obligation to pay Blane Wilson, our Chief Operating Officer, 3% of the
compensation (not including reimbursement of expenses incurred) we receive
as a result of our agreement with Queenstake USA, and 3% of any revenues
that may be generated from our Gold Bar mill, as part of his employment
contract. As of June 30, 2010, we owed Mr. Wilson $28,696 under
this agreement, which is included in our accounts
payable. These commissions are only payable upon receipt of
payment from Queenstake USA and will decrease with any decrease in

Note
F – Beneficial Conversion Feature of Debentures, Convertible Notes Payable and
Convertible Preferred Stock
We
recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible
debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert his
debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price
to the public on the day the loan is made to us. The beneficial value is
calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the
commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion
feature of debentures and related accruing interest is recorded as a discount to
the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The
discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt
using the interest method.

With
the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the company calculated the
beneficial conversion feature using the intrinsic value method, however,
due to the contingent convertibility feature, and with the lack of
available common shares to allow a conversion, the contingent beneficial
conversion feature was measured using the commitment date stock price but
has not been recognized in earnings until the contingency is resolved. The
amount that will be recorded as a preferred dividend once the contingency
has been resolved will be $794,449. Any recorded discount resulting from
an allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature is
analogous to a dividend and should be recognized as a return to the
preferred shareholders using the effective yield
method.

H – Recent accounting
pronouncements
There
were no accounting standards adopted during the three months ended June 30, 2010

Note
I – Stock based
compensation
(1) As
of January 1, 2006, we elected to measure and record compensation cost relative
to stock option costs in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Accounting For Stock Based
Compensation,” (prior authoritative literature: SFAS 123R). The
company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the
options at the grant date.
As part
of employment agreement with Blane Wilson, our Chief Operating Officer, dated
April 18, 2008 we agreed to grant Mr. Wilson the following stock
options:
(a) Signing
option. Mr. Wilson was granted a signing bonus in the form of an option on the
date of the execution of his employment agreement. Subject to certain
exceptions, the option is exercisable for a term of three
years. Giving effect to the 1-for-500 combination of our common stock
(see Note I(3) – Subsequent Events – Approval of Reverse Stock Split), the
option has an exercise price of $3.59 and is exercisable to acquire 27,855
shares of our common stock . This option vested
immediately upon grant.
(b) Quarterly
option bonus. We
agreed to grant Mr. Wilson a quarterly bonus in the form of an option at each
90-day that he remains a Company employee. Subject to certain
exceptions, each quarterly option has a three-year term, and permits Mr. Wilson
may purchase that number of shares of Company common stock that could be
purchased with $25,000 in cash (based on then current market conditions) at an
exercise price equal to the average of the closing sales prices of our common
stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of grant. We
expensed $82,619 during 2009 and $8,726 during the six months ended June
30, 2010 in connection with the grant of these options. All of the
information in the below table regarding the option prices and quantities give
effect to the 1-for-500 combination of our common stock (see Note I (3 Approval
of Reverse Stock Split).

action
1. United
Rentals Northwest, Inc. v. Golden Eagle International, Inc., Queenstake
Resources USA, Inc., Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp., et. al. On
December 31, 2009 United Rentals Northwest, Inc. filed a complaint against us,
Yukon-Nevada Gold Corporation and Queenstake Resources USA, Inc. in the Fourth
District Court in Elko, Nevada. In its complaint United Rentals is seeking
payment for construction rental equipment supplied to us, Yukon-Nevada Gold
Corporation and Queenstake Resources USA in the amount of $52,845 plus
attorney’s fees. A notice and claim of lien was recorded on the Jerritt Canyon
mill on October 6, 2009.
On
February 16, 2010, we filed an answer to this complaint in the Fourth District
Judicial Court in Elko, Nevada. In our answer we allege that we had contracted
with Queenstake Resources USA, Inc. and that Queenstake/YNG are responsible for
payments to United Rentals Northwest, Inc. We received notice from Queenstake on
June 18, 2010 that they have paid this obligation in full. We have also received
a statement from United Rentals indicating that payment has been made in full.
We have not yet however received notification that this complaint has been
dismissed
2. Bright
v. Golden Eagle International, Inc., Rocky Mountain Hospital and Medical
Service, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, et. al. On
February 26, 2010, we were served with a complaint in the case of Bright v. Golden Eagle, et al.,
filed in the Fourth District Court of Elko County that alleges that we
breached our employment agreement to Mr. Bright, who was our employee until June
10, 2010, by not maintaining his health insurance through the period in which
his wife gave birth to the Bright’s child in the Rocky Mountain Hospital. The
complaint alleges further that all of the defendants breached their various
contractual obligations and duties to the Brights, were negligent in the failure
to pay the Brights’ medical bills associated with the delivery of their child,
and negligently and intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the Brights.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has sought to have this matter removed to the
Federal District Court in Reno, Nevada. The case is ongoing and we have, and
expect to continue to, defend this matter. We have been informed by
our legal counsel that Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nevada has paid this
claim in full. As part of this settlement we were required to pay a
portion of the Plaintiff’s legal fees in the amount of $2,412 which we paid. We
believe that this complaint has been dismissed; however, we have not yet
received documentation from the court on this matter.
3. Old
Dominion Freight Line, Inc. v. Golden Eagle International, Inc. On April
15, 2010, Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (“Old Dominion”) filed a complaint in
the Third District Court of Utah against us to collect $3,327.89 for freight
charges on deliveries that Old Dominion made to the Jerritt Canyon mill north of
Elko, Nevada. We filed an answer to Old Dominion’s complaint alleging mistake on
Old Dominion’s part as to various specific allegations that it made in its
complaint, and further asserting affirmative defenses that the matter should
have been brought in Elko County, Nevada, were all of the acts complained of
occurred and the location of all of the witnesses to the event. Moreover, we
alleged that Old Dominion failed to join two indispensable parties, Queenstake
Resources USA, Inc. and Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp., the real parties in interest
and the ultimate beneficiaries of any consideration or service given by Old
Dominion. On July 15, 2010, Old Dominion filed the Plaintiff’s first set of
requests for admissions and interrogatories and requests for production. The
case is ongoing and we have, and expect to continue to, defend this
matter.
Note K – Transfer
of control of Bolivian subsidiary
Effective
March 10, 2010, we transferred control of our Bolivian operations and assets to
an unaffiliated Swiss corporation by granting that Swiss corporation a power of
attorney although we have not yet transferred ownership of those
assets. The Swiss corporation has paid $112,000 to the Bolivian
authorities as claims fees to maintain our concessions in eastern Bolivia. The
Swiss corporation has also paid us $50,000, and has further paid approximately
$53,000 (out of its obligation of $100,000) to satisfy certain of our
obligations in Bolivia.
Upon
transfer of ownership of the properties to the Swiss corporation which is
expected to occur in the third quarter of 2010 (if it should occur, of which
there can be no assurance), the Swiss corporation is required to pay an
additional $100,000 of our obligations to Bolivian creditors (for a total of
$200,000); to assume certain Golden Eagle obligations in Bolivia in an estimated
amount of $170,000; and to pay Golden Eagle a 3% net smelter return on all
minerals produced from the properties of up to $3 million. The net smelter
return will be on a quarterly basis if and when mineral production is achieved
from the mining concessions owned by the Bolivian subsidiary. The
sale of Bolivian operations occurred during February 2010. As the sale price
designated a value of our Bolivian assets, we impaired our assets to the level
of consideration to be received for the sale which is $200,000 to be paid in
Bolivia, $50,000 paid in the United States and the assumption of $143,000 in US
liabilities. The result was an impairment expense of $1,196,070 on the December
31, 2009 financial statements.

(Unaudited)
We cannot
offer any assurance that the Swiss corporation will fulfill its remaining
payment obligations to us with respect to our Bolivian assets and
operations. If we are unable to complete the sale of these assets and
operations we will continue to hold them and explore other alternatives with
respect them. However, if we are unable to complete the sale of these assets
during 2010 we do not expect to engage in active exploration or mining
operations in Bolivia and it is likely that the concessions will expire in March
2011 as we do not intend to pay the 2011 claims fees.
Note
L – Approval of
reverse stock split
On March
23, 2010 our shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
to effect a 1-for-500 reverse stock split. Since that date we have
taken steps to effect the reverse stock split, including filing an amendment to
our Articles of Incorporation (which amendment became effective under Colorado
law on April 28, 2010) and notifying the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”) of the reverse split. On May 13, 2010 FINRA took the necessary
actions, and made the required notifications, to cause the reverse stock split
to be reflected in the trading markets. Upon the reverse split being effected
every 500 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock was automatically
combined into one issued and outstanding share without any change in the par
value of such shares. No fractional shares are being issued in connection
with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who were entitled to a
fractional share are entitled to receive a whole share. The reverse
split affected all of the holders of our common stock uniformly and did not
affect any shareholder’s percentage of ownership interest, except to the extent
that the reverse split resulted in any holder being granted a whole share for
any fractional share that resulted from the reverse split. The number
of common shares into which each of our outstanding series of Preferred Stock
may be convertible into, as well as the shares of common stock underlying
options, warrants and convertible debentures was proportionately reduced and the
exercise prices of any warrants or options, and the conversion prices of any
convertible debentures, was proportionately increased by the reverse stock
split.
Following the reverse stock split,
there will remain 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. The preferred stock
outstanding will remain outstanding, but the number of shares of common stock
into which the various series of preferred stock outstanding are convertible
were proportionally adjusted. The convertible debentures, convertible
notes, stock payable, and stock options will also remain outstanding, but the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise will also
be proportionally reduced. The following table only sets forth
approximate numbers because the rounding up of fractional shares will occur on a
shareholder-by-shareholder basis.
