(An Exploration Stage Company) |
Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 20, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.7. The Company has acquired a mineral property located in Elko County, within the state of Nevada and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. At this time, the Company will not be able to further discover if this property contains reserves that are economical or keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding.
The Company is reviewing other potential acquisitions in the resource and non-resource sectors. While the Company is in the process of completing due diligence reviews of several opportunities, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach any agreement to acquire such assets.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant account policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.
a. Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Companys fiscal year end is June 30.
b. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
c. Mineral property costs
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on February 20, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continues)
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the costs of long-lived assets, other than oil and gas properties, may be impaired, and evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the assets carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required. Impairment of oil and gas properties is evaluated subject to the full cost ceiling as described under Oil and Gas Properties.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Companys title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets are no longer amortized, but tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant negative industry or economic trends or projected future results of operations. For purposes of financial reporting and impairment testing in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company was unable to utilize the mining interest and will not be able to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding. The Companys mineral claim will lapse as of June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company determined that there was little, or no, possibility of the company generating revenues related to the mining interests. This, coupled with the lapse of the mineral claims lease was determined to be an impairment of the asset. As such, the Companys management determined to fully impair the mining interest, which was a charge to the Companys statements of operations in the amount of $11,800.
d. Fair Value of Financial instruments
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for trading purposes) approximate the carrying values of such amounts.
e. Environmental expenditures
The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Companys policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continues)
Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.
f. Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered are settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
g. Basic and diluted net loss per share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerators) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had no common stock equivalents outstanding at March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.

h. Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on managements estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Companys periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and market that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.
i. Concentrations of credit risk
The Companys financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Companys management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
j. Risks and uncertainties
The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Note 3 New Technical Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIESAN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statements objective is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in statement 133. The statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE INSURANCE CONTRACTSAN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. This statement was issued because diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial
guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 does not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 - Mineral Property
Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated May 24, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a mineral claim, located in Section 8 of T35N, R36E Mount Diablo Base Meridian in Elko County, within the state of Nevada for a cash payment of $10,000. The Company must annually renew the lease on the land with the state for $1,800 and has done so for this fiscal year end, June 30, 2009. Since the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of the mineral claim, the acquisition costs have been capitalized. The Company has not depleted the mineral claims as no proven reserves have been found. The Company will not be able to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding. The Company will allow the mineral claim to lapse at the end of June. At June 30, 2009, the Company determined that there was little, or no, possibility of the company generating revenues related to the mining interests. This, coupled with the lapse of the mineral claims lease was determined to be an impairment of the asset. As such, the Companys management determined to fully impair the mining interest, which was a charge to the Companys statements of operations in the amount of $11,800.

Note 7 Income Taxes
The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to June 30, 2009. There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the period ended March 31, 2009 due to the Companys loss position. The Company has fully reserved for any benefits of
these tax loss carry-forwards. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statements and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Companys ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carry-forward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.
The provision for refundable federal income tax consists of the following:

Notes to the Financial Statements |
Note 7 Income Taxes (continues)
The potential income tax benefit of these losses has been offset by a full valuation allowance.
As at March 31, 2009, the Company has an unused net operating loss carry-forward balance of $50,863 that is available to offset future taxable income. This unused net operating loss carry-forward balance begins to expire in 2027.
Note 8 Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $50,863 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of ore reserves.
These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
This Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and other parts of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as intends, anticipates, expects, believes, plans, predicts, and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those set forth below under Certain Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this report is to continue to review other potential acquisitions in the resource and non-resource sectors. Currently, we are in the process of completing due diligence reviews of several business opportunities. We expect that these reviews could cost us a total of $10,000 in the next 12 months.
As well, we anticipate spending an additional $15,000 on administrative fees, including fees we will incur in complying with reporting obligations. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $25,000.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We may also seek to obtain short-term loans from our directors, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next nine months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
There was no revenues generated during the nine months ended, March 31, 2009 or in nine months ended, March 31, 2008
As we are in an exploratory stage of development, we do not anticipate having a profit in the fiscal year ending, June 30, 2009. Total expenses increased 131% during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2008. We expect total expenses to be approximately 133% higher during the 2009 fiscal year, primarily as a result of obligatory reporting cost, research and development cost and impairment of mining interests.
14
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
There was no revenues generated during the three months ended, March 31, 2009 or in three months ended, March 31, 2008
Total expenses increased 368% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2008. The increase in total expense was primarily as a result of impairment of mining interests.
Cash Flow
During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 cash was primarily used to fund operations. We had a net decrease in cash of $202 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to March 31, 2008. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used by operating activities was $12,202, compared to net cash used in by operating activities of $11,676 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008. As discussed herein we realized a net loss from operations of $27,487 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $11,927 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008, this increased loss of $ 15,560 resulted in the decrease in cash.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the president advanced the Company an additional $12,000 for operating costs which accrues no interest. We did not engage in investing or financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
15
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIESAN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statements objective is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in statement 133. The statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an impact on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE INSURANCE CONTRACTSAN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. This statement was issued because diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 163 does not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the recorded values of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions affect our recognition of deferred expenses, bad debts, income taxes, the carrying value of its long-lived assets and its provision for certain contingencies. We evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions continually based on a combination of historical information and other information that comes to its attention that may vary its outlook for the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

Management suggests that our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, be read in conjunction with this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe the critical accounting policies that most impact our consolidated financial statements are described below.
Basis of Accounting We use the accrual method of accounting.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as of December 31, 2008 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO. Based on our assessment and those criteria, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting had the following deficiencies as of March 31, 2009:
1)
Certain control procedures were unable to be verified due to performance of the procedure not being sufficiently documented. As an example, some procedures requiring review of certain reports could not be verified due to there being no written notation on the report by the reviewer. Because we were unable to verify these procedures, we conclude that as of March 31, 2009 there were control deficiencies related to the preparation and review of our interim and annual consolidated financial statements, in particular with respect to certain account reconciliations, journal entries and spreadsheets, and the authorization of sales transactions and customer billing rates. While none of these control deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to our 2009 interim or annual financial statements, they could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.
2)
Certain of our personnel had access to various financial application programs and data that was beyond the requirements of their individual job responsibilities. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2008 interim or annual consolidated financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
3)
We did not maintain a level of personnel sufficient to execute certain computing controls over our information technology structure. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2009 interim or annual financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
17
4)
We did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within certain areas impacting our financial reporting. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2009 interim or annual financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
To the extent reasonably possible given our resources, we will seek the advice of outside consultants and utilize internal resources to implement additional internal controls to address the above identified material weaknesses. We are taking steps to implement additional review and approval procedures applicable to our financial reporting process, and are in the planning phase of creating and implementing new information technology policies and procedures related to controls over information technology operations, security and change management.
Through these steps, we believe that we are addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. Because the remedial actions require upgrading certain of our information technology systems, relying extensively on manual review and approval processes, and possibly hiring of additional personnel, we may not be able to conclude that these material weaknesses have been remedied until these controls have been successfully operation for some period of time.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. It is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. It also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.
Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process certain safeguards to reduce, thought not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.
This report does not include an attestation of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
