BUSINESS
History and Organization
The following is only a summary of the information, financial statements and the notes included in this Form 10-K. Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise, the terms Recursos, the Company, we, our and us means Recursos Montana S.A.
Our Business
We were incorporated on September 23, 2010 pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada.
Our address in the Dominican Republic is at 1st Street, #3, Cerros del Atlantico, Puerto Plata and with our telephone number being (037) 0022-0092. Our office is located in the private resident of the President of our Company and until such time as the Company can afford to rent its own facilities this arrangement will serve as our office. To date there has been no charge for the use of this office.
We are an Emerging Growth Company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.
We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of
(A)
the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
(B)
the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title;
(C)
the date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
(D)
the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires Issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures.
Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Act.
We are a pre-exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We hold 100% title to a mineral claim consisting of 72.5 hectares (185 acres) called the Vunidawa Gold Claim. The Vunidawa Gold Claim is located approximately 60 kilometers (96 miles) southwest of Korovou, Fiji Our plan is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Vunidawa Gold Claim in order to assess whether it possesses commercially extractable deposits of gold.
4
We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of the Vunidawa Gold Claim. We are presently in the pre-exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on the Vunidawa Gold Claim, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs. We currently do not have sufficient financial resources to meet the anticipated costs of completing the exploration program for the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our plan of operation and meet our current obligations as they come due.
To date, we have not commenced exploration activities on the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Our plan is to implement our exploration program on the Vunidawa Gold Claim in order to assess whether it possess mineral deposits of gold capable of commercial extraction. A description of the Vunidawa Gold Claim is provided under the heading Properties below.
Our Company does not have any subsidiaries. Our Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangement, written or otherwise, to seek a business combination with another entity.
We have no historical information to allow anyone to base an evaluation on our future performance. We have only been incorporated since September 23, 2010 and have generated no revenue during our time in existence. We do not know if we will be successful in our business operations in the future. Like all new businesses we are a start-up company and will suffer all the problems of being a start-up company as follows:
● |
| possible delays in exploring the Vunidawa and experiencing cost overruns; |
|
|
|
● |
| trying to generate revenue or identify sources of cash, managing our assets and administrating ongoing financial commitments to our creditors; |
|
|
|
● |
| adhering to all regulatory requirements both as a future public company and as a company required to meet State and Federal filing requirements; and |
|
|
|
● |
| ensuring our shareholders are informed about our development on a regular basis. |
We have no full-time employees and our management devotes a small percentage of their time to the affairs of the Company.
The shareholders may read and copy any material filed by Recursos with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC, 20549. The shareholders may obtain information on the operations of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information which Recursos has filed electronically with the SEC by assessing the website using the following address: http://www.sec.gov. Recursos has no website at this time.
Foreign Currency and Exchange Rates
Our mineral property is located in the Republic of Fiji. The cost expressed in the geological report on Vunidawa is expressed in the local currency, Fijian dollar. For purposes of consistency and to express United States Dollars throughout this Form 10-K, Fijian dollars have been converted into United States currency at the rate of US $1.00 being approximately equal to 1.94771. Fijian dollars.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative. In addition to the other information regarding Recursos contained in this Form 10-K, you should consider many important factors in determining whether to purchase the shares in our Company. The following risk factors reflect all known potential and substantial material risks which could be involved if you decide to purchase shares in our Company.
5
Risks Associated with our Company:
Because we are a pre-exploration stage company, we face a high risk of business failure.
To date, our primary business activities have involved the acquisition of the Vunidawa Gold Claim. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by pre-exploration stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability.
Prior to completion of our pre-exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
We have no known mineral reserves.
We are in the initial phase of our exploration program for the Vunidawa Gold Claim. It is unknown whether this property contains viable mineral reserves. If we do not find a viable mineral reserve, or if we cannot exploit the mineral reserve, either because we have insufficient capital resources or because it is not be economically feasible to do it, we may have to cease operations and you may lose your investment. Mineral exploration is a highly speculative endeavor. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if mineral reserves are discovered on our property our production capabilities will be subject to further risks and uncertainties including:
(i)
Costs of bringing the property into production including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities, all of which we have not budgeted for;
(ii)
Availability and costs of financing;
(iii)
Ongoing costs of production; and
(iv)
Environmental compliance regulations and restraints.
The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and processing equipment near the Vunidawa Gold Claim, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.
Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.
You should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of our mineral property. These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Our mineral property does not contain a known body of commercial ore and, therefore, any program conducted on our mineral property would be an exploratory search of ore. There is no certainty that any expenditures made in the exploration of our mineral property will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of ore. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration program do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing sufficient capital resources to purchase such claims. If we do not have sufficient capital resources and are unable to obtain sufficient financing, we may be forced to abandon our operations.
6
Assurance of Title
We have taken all reasonable steps to attempt to ensure that proper title to the Vunidawa Gold Claim has been obtained and that all grants of such rights thereunder, if any, have been registered with the appropriate public offices. Despite the due diligence conducted by us, there is no guarantee that title to such Vunidawa Gold Claim will not be challenged or impugned. Our mineral property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
We face significant competition.
We are a pre-exploration stage company. We compete with numerous other companies and individuals possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself in the search for, and acquisition of, mineral claims, leases and other mineral interests, as well as the recruitment and retention of suitably qualified individuals. They competitors may spend greater amounts on retaining such personnel, which could cause delays in our exploration program or cause our business to fail.
Because the prices of metals fluctuate, if the price of metals for which we are exploring decreases below a specified level, it may no longer be profitable to explore for those metals and we will cease operations.
The market prices of commodities, including copper and gold, are volatile and are affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control. These factors include international supply and demand, consumer product demand, international economic trends, currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rates, inflation, global or regional political events, as well as a range of other market forces. Sustained downward movements in commodity prices, including copper or gold, could render less economic, or uneconomic, some or all of the exploration activities to be undertaken by us.
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
We, as a participant in exploration and mining programs, may become subject to liability for hazards such as unusual geological or unexpected operating conditions that cannot be insured against or against which we may elect not to be so insured because of high premium costs or other reasons. We are currently uninsured against all such risks as such insurance is either unavailable or uneconomic at this time. We also currently have no keyman insurance or property insurance as such insurance is uneconomical at this time. We will obtain such insurance once it is available and, in the opinion of the board of directors, economical to do so. We may incur a liability to third parties (in excess of any insurance cover) arising from pollution or other damage or injury.
The Vunidawa Gold Claim is located in Fiji and is subject to changes in political conditions and regulations in that country.
The Vunidawa Gold Claim is located in Fiji. In the past, Fiji has been subject to political and social instability, changes and uncertainties which may cause changes to existing government regulations affecting mineral exploration and mining activities. Our mineral exploration activities in Fiji may be adversely affected in varying degrees by changing governmental regulations relating to the mining industry or shifts in political conditions that increase the costs related to our activities or maintaining our Vunidawa Gold Claim. Finally, Fijis status as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain required financing for our property.
Due to the significant costs associated with reporting under the Exchange Act, there is a risk that our business could fail.
We are now a reporting company under the Exchange Act. As a result, we will be required to file annual and quarterly reports and proxy materials with the SEC. Due to the significant cost associated with meeting these reporting obligations, we may have insufficient funds for the exploration and development of our Vunidawa Gold Claim which may cause our business to fail.
7
We are vulnerable to the change of the world gold supply, demand and prices.
Gold prices change on a world market beyond our control. A drop in price would adversely affect our ability to generate a profit. All our revenues would be derived from the sale of gold and possibly other precious metals. Changes in the price of gold thus may affect profitability and impede us from being able to afford to continue operations. Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely; price tends to be linked to a number of factors beyond our control such as: various macroeconomic factors (terrorism, political and regional events that may include such, confidence in the global monetary system, rate of inflation expectations, interest rates, US dollar and certain other currency strength); speculative or hedging activities; forward sales by producers, speculators and other holders; central bank lending; sales and purchases of gold; industrial and jewellery demand; and the current supply and demand. These things are impossible for us to predict. Per ounce, gold has been $384 (1995), $279 (2000), $420 (2005), $1,120 (2010), $1,834 (2011), $1,750 (2013) and later in 2014 fell to approximately $1,200. The price per ounce has now dropped to the $1,400 range. London PM Fix Price for instance. This volatility may favour operations now but should the price drop unexpectedly some or all exploration activities may become economically unfeasible in the future.
Risks Related To the Ownership of Our Stock
Because our executive officers and directors currently own 60% of our issued and outstanding shares, investors may find that corporate decisions controlled by our executive officers and directors are inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders.
Our executive officers and directors currently own 60% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, our executive officers and directors are able to control who is elected as a director and thus could act, or could have the power to act, as our management. Since our executive officers and directors are not simply passive investors, but is also our executive officers and directors, their interests as an executive officers and directors may, at times, be adverse to those of passive investors. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon them exercising, in a manner fair to all of our shareholders, their fiduciary duties as an officer or as a director.
We will likely conduct further offerings of our equity securities in the future, in which case your proportionate interest may become diluted.
We will likely be required to conduct additional equity offerings in the future to finance our exploration program or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than the price per share of our shareholder who purchased share under the recent offering. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, your percentage interest in us could become diluted.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
Our shares constitute a penny stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The shares will remain classified as a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification as a penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than having to comply with these rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell a penny stock.

Accessibility, Climate, Locale Resources, Infrastructure and Topography
The Vunidawa Gold Claim is accessible from Korovou, Fiji by traveling on the countrys only highway system which for the most part consists of one lane in each direction and by taking an all weather gravel road. The town of Korovou has an experienced work force and will provide all the necessary services needed for an exploration and development operation, including police, hospitals, groceries, fuel, helicopter services, hardware and other necessary items. Drilling companies and assay facilities are present in Korovou.
9
Tropical mountain forests grow at lower elevations in the northwest corner of the Vunidawa Gold Claim and good rock exposure is found along the peaks and ridges in the eastern portion of the claim. The climate is mild year round with the rainy season falling from May to October.

History
Gold was first reported in the area by Fijian and British prospectors over 50 years ago. Mineral claims were recorded in 1956 in the surrounding areas.
During the 1990s, a number of exploration companies have drilled properties to the west of the Vunidawa Gold Claim.
Regional Geology
Fiji lies at the midpoint of opposing Tonga Kermadec and new Hebrides convergence zones, separated from the actual convergence zones by two extensional back-arc basins which are the North Fiji Basin to the west and the Lau Basin to the east in addition to a series of transform faults including the Fiji Fracture Zone and the Matthew Hunter Ridge. Many of the reconstructions of the past configuration of the is part of the Pacific indicate, however, that Fiji was not so long ago an integral part of the Pacific Rim of Fire the complex plate boundary between Pacific and the Indo Australia plates; a boundary which is well recognized as the locus of several major world-class porphyry copper gold and epithermal gold systems.
Property Geology
The principal bedded rocks for the area of Vunidawa Gold Claim are volcanic rocks which are exposed along a wide axial zone of a broad complex.
The main igneous intrusions consist of the Medrausucu consisting of gabbros and tonalities. Age data indicate that the intrusive stocks are intermediate in age between Savura Volcanic Group rocks west of the area and the younger Tertiary Wainimala Group rocks exposed to the east.
Irregular shaped masses of granite are seen in both sharp and gradational contact with the diorite. The different phases of Medrausucu are exposed from north of the Vunidawa Gold Claim to just east of the town of Korovou and are principal host rocks for gold veins at the Korovou Gold Mine.
Repeated cycles of folding, faulting and deformation has created a complex structural history in the Korovou area. Major faults strike north and northeasterly and coincide with zones of the Savura Volcanic Group. The principal shear direction changes from northwest in the area of the Korovou Gold Mine to north south in the area north of Korovou.
The major transform fault areas are the Fiji Fracture Zone and the Hunter Fracture Zone. One system consists of a set of perpendicular fractures, which strike approximately at right angles to each other, and at acute angles to the trend of formations. The other system consists of two sets of fractures with opposing dips, but which strike parallel to each other and to the trend of the overall formations. The first system contains the principle veins of the area and are younger than the second system. The Savura Volcanic Group represent the most important and continuous fractures in the first system.
On a regional basis this area of Fiji is notable for epo-thermal type gold deposits of which the Korovou Gold Mines are typical examples.
Mineralization is located within a large fractured block created where prominent northwest-striking shears intersect the north striking caldera fault zone. The major lodes cover an area of two square kilometers and are mostly within 800 meters of the surface. Lodes occurs in dipping northwest striking shears, flat fractures and shatter blocks between shears.
11
Gold mineralization at the Vunidawa Property mainly occurs in tellurides and there is also significant gold mineralization in pyrite.
Mineralization
No mineralization has been reported for the area of the property but structures and shear zones affiliated with mineralization on adjacent properties pass through it.
Geological Report
We engaged James McAdams to prepare a geological evaluation report on the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Mr. McAdams has been practicing his profession as a Geologist for the past 35 years. Mr. McAdams attended University of Queensland and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology in 1969 and a Master of Science in 1973.
Mr. McAdams visited the Vunidawa Gold Claim between November 1 and November 3, 2010. In preparing the report, Mr. McAdams reviewed previous exploration data in the region. The acquisition of this data involved the research and investigation of historic files to locate and retrieve data information acquired by previous exploration companies in the area of the mineral property.
Mr. McAdams geological evaluation report on the Vunidawa Gold Claim summarizes the history of the exploration of the Vunidawa Gold Claim and the region, the regional and local geology of the Vunidawa Gold Claim and the mineralization and the geological formations identified as a result of prior exploration. The geological report also gives conclusions regarding potential mineralization of the Vunidawa Gold Claim and recommends an exploration program to be conducted on it.
Conclusions and Recommendations
In Mr. McAdams report, he noted that the area is well known for numerous productive mineral occurrences including the Korovou Gold Mines. The locale of the Vunidawa Gold Claim is underlain by the same rock units of the Savura Volcanic Group that are found at those mineral occurrence sites. These rocks consisting of cherts and argillites (sediments) and andesitic to basaltic volcanic have been intruded by granodiorite. Structures and mineralization probably related to this intrusion are found throughout the region and occur on the claim. They are associated with all the major mineral occurrences and deposits in the area.
Mineralization found on the claim is consistent with that found associated with zones of extensive mineralization. Past work however has been limited and sporadic and has not tested the potential of the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Potential for significant amounts of mineralization to be found exists on the Vunidawa Gold Claim and it merits intensive exploration.
A two phased exploration program to further delineate the mineralized system currently recognized on Vunidawa Gold Claim is recommended.
Phase I will consist of air photo interpretation of the mineral structures on the Vunidawa Gold Claim. It is expected that approximately 4.8 line kilometers of magnetic and very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-Em) surveying will be completed on the Vunidawa claim. It is hoped that this work will identify VLF-EM conductors and alterations. The Company will contract with its geologist to fly a multi-sensor airborne geophysical survey over the entire Vunidawa claim. It is expected that approximately 750 line kilometers of combined magnetic and radiometric measurements at line spacing of 150 meters will be completed. Once this information has been obtained and analyzed, a geological mapping of the results will be undertaken to determine future areas of interest and mineralization. In addition to the air photo, a geochemical sampling program will be undertaken where soil, stream sediment and rock samples will be collected for assaying. These assays will concentrate on gold, mercury and other minerals which might be present on the Vunidawa. It is estimated that between 100 and 150 samples will have to be taken and assayed. It is expected that these samples will have to be collected with a hand auger (a tool used for boring into the soil) at depths ranging from 10 to 90 cm before the surface with approximately 50 meter spacing between them. All samples to be obtained will be analyzed for any mineralization by a local laboratory in Fiji using industry standard ICP-mass spectrometry methods with hot aqua solution. All exploration activities on the Vunidawa Claim will be conducted according to generally accepted exploration procedures with methods and preparation that are consistent with generally accepted exploration practices.

The cost of completing each phase of Phase I based on the McAdams report is as follows:
C. Phase I | (ii) Fijian Dollars | (iii) U.S. Dollars |
F. | (v) | (vi) |
I. Airborne geophysical surveying | (viii) $ 10,200 | (ix) $ 5,630 |
L. Geological mapping | (xi) 9,800 | (xii) 5,416 |
O. Geochemical surface sampling (including assaying) | (xiv) 27,500 | (xv) 15,180 |
R. | (xvii) | (xviii) |
U. Total exploration costs per Phase I | (xx) $ 47,500 | (xxi) $ 26,226 |
Due to the fact that we entered into a verbal agreement with Mr. McAdams in October 2010 and the Company was unable to immediately commence with its exploration activities, Mr. McAdams, who now has other commitments, is not available as hoped for undertaking the work previously discussed with him. The anticipated costs of completing Phase I outlined in Mr. McAdams report include his anticipated fee of $350 per day, which is incorporated under the item geochemical surface sampling. Even though management will be engaging a local geologist to carry out the Phase I exploration program, management believes that it will be able to hire a local geologist at the similar rate and that no intervening events have occurred to cause the price of this initial exploration program to increase.
Once the geologist has analyzed the results of Phase I and discussed the results with the Board of Directors a decision will be made by the Directors as to whether to precede with Phase II. Depending on the results of Phase I, we will follow-up with a diamond drill program on the Vunidawa Gold Claim. The drill program will focus on key targets identified in the Phase I exploration program and will total approximately 1,000 to 1,500 feet of diamond drilling. We anticipate that the drill program will take one month to complete and will cost approximately $200,000.
The Company has the sole rights to the minerals on the Vunidawa Claim and will not have to negotiate with any third party to undertake its exploration work. The mineral rights will remain with the Company until such time as either the Company abandons the claim or transfers the mineral rights to a third party.
Compliance with Government Regulations
The Mineral Resources Department (MRD) is the statutory body that regulations mining in Fiji. For the acquisition, exploration and development of mining tenements in Fiji, we are required to adhere to the Mining Act (1978) of Fiji. All prospecting licences, permits to mine, and mining leases are subject to established reporting requirements. Currently, title to the Vunidawa Gold Claim allows us to engage in exploratory work on the property. However, we will be required to obtain mining permits and leases if we wish to engage in drilling activity and remove earth from the property for the purpose of extracting minerals. In addition, the MRD may revoke licenses in the event that they are not maintained in good standing. Information and data regarding areas currently under licence are confidential to the MRD, although once prospecting or mining rights have been abandoned or relinquished; these data become the property of Government and become publicly available through MRD.
Environmental regulation is administered through the Environment Management Act (2005) (the EMA), which is administered by the Environment Department of Fiji. Any new mining project, including an exploratory drill program, requires an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to be undertaken with an environment management plan (EMP) to mitigate any environmental issues outlined in the EIA. In order to obtain approval for mining permits and leases, we will be required to have an EIA and EMP approved by the Department of Environment.
Competition
We are a pre-exploration stage company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring mineral properties of merit, on exploring their mineral properties and on developing their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.
13
We will also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors. We will also compete with other junior and senior mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, transportation, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.
Employees
As of the date of this prospectus, we have no employees other than our executive officers and directors, each of whom are part-time employees devoting approximately five hours per week to our operations.
To date, we engaged one consultant, James McAdams, to prepare a geological report on the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Other than Mr. McAdams, we have not engaged any other consultants.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
The Companys Main Product
At present we do not have a main product since we have not defined an ore reserve on the Vunidawa and hence are unable to sell any minerals. We are exploring for gold which if found will be our main product.
Plant and Equipment
With the Fiji being a hub for mining activities in the South Pacific, ultra modern equipment is used by the various mining companies. The high safety standards enforce the level of good equipment being available with the most modern and up to date mining equipment being at our disposal.
There is no plant or equipment on the Vunidawa at the present time and it is expected that the exploration program there will be no need for either plant or equipment.
Additional Mineral Claims
Our Company has only one mineral claim, being the Vunidawa as more fully described above. It has no intention at the present time to acquire an additional mineral claim. The Company wishes to focus its attention on the exploration program on the Vunidawa.
Risk Associated with the Vunidawa
Our Company is aware of certain risk associated with the Vunidawa as follows:
1.
We realize that any money spent on the Vunidawad might be lost money never to be recovered. Very few mineral claims that are explored ever turn into actual mines which produce saleable minerals.
2.
We realize that even though we actual discover mineralization on the Vunidawa that it might not be of the tonnage nor grade to make it profitable to mine it. Without the tonnage or grade there is no point in our Company trying to mine and sell the mineral on the claim. Another factor which must be borne in mind is that the world price for minerals fluctuates on a daily bases and hence even if the tonnage and grades are there the price per ounce might be too low to make it worthwhile for us to extract the minerals.
14
3.
Because we are small and have not undertaken sufficient exploration work on the Vunidawa we might find it extremely difficult to raise money for future exploration work. If our directors wish to continue exploring they may have to contribute the funds to the Company themselves.
4.
We have never undertaken a survey of the Vunidawa to determine the exact boundaries of our claim. If we are fortunate enough to discover an ore body of merit we might become involved in a legal dispute with another party as to our boundaries. This will be expensive and time consuming to our Company and presently we do not have the funds to dispute a long-term court case.
5.
Mining has many risks attached to it which we are presently not insured against and may never be. For example, the Vunidawa might be subject to cave-ins or moving rocks which will injure our workers and which might lead to court action and government intervention. Without insurance any funds we have on hand would have to be directed to disputing any claim made against us.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings to which Recursos is a party or to which the Vunidawa Gold Claim is subject, nor to the best of managements knowledge are any material legal proceedings contemplated.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS
There has been no Annual General Meeting of Stockholders since Recursos date of inception. Management has not set a date for an Annual General Meeting of Stockholders.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. The use of words such as "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek" and "estimate", and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements address, among others, such issues as:
● |
| the estimated financial information we are furnishing in this Form 10-K; |
|
|
|
● |
| our future projected earning and cash flows; |
● |
| the expansion of our business and its operations over the next few years; |
|
|
|
● |
| Our future expectations of development projects. |
These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results, performance and financial condition to differ materially from our expectation.
Consequently, these cautionary statements qualify all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K. We cannot assure you that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they would have the expected effect on us or our business or operations.
Our Business
Our Company is classified as an exploration company and not a pre-exploration company since we have commenced exploration on the Vunidawa. Other than undertaking Phase I of our exploration program we have no history in which an investor could evaluate us. We have not made any revenue and the chances of making any revenues during the next several years are slight. The Vunidawa is in the early stage of exploration and there is no assurance we will be able to find any mineralization on our claim that is worth extracting. Unless we are able to derive some revenue from the Vunidawa we might have to abandon the claim and eventually cease to operate.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve exists at our mineral claim or may exist until sufficient and appropriate exploration is completed and a comprehensive evaluation of such work concludes economic and legal feasibility. Such work could take many years of exploration and would require expenditure of a substantial amount of capital, capital which we do not currently have and may never be able to raise.
We do not have any ore body and have not generated any revenues from our operations.
To become profitable and competitive, we must invest into the exploration of our property before we start production of any minerals we may find. We must obtain equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to fully implement our phased exploration program. We have no assurance that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we will be unable to commence, continue, develop or expand our exploration activities. Even if available, equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
To meet our need for cash we must raise additional capital. We will attempt to raise additional money through a private placement, public offering or through loans. We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. We require additional cash to continue operations. Such operations could take many years of exploration and would require expenditure of very substantial amounts of money, money we do not presently have and may never be able to raise. If we cannot raise it we will have to abandon our planned exploration activities and go out of business.
17
Our future financial success will be dependent on the success of the exploration work on the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Such exploration may take years to complete and future cash flows, if any, are impossible to predict at this time. The realization value from any mineralization which may be discovered by us is largely dependent on factors beyond our control such as the market value of metals produced, mining regulations in the Republic of Fiji and foreign exchange rates.
We have no plant or significant equipment to sell, nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until we have located a body of ore and we have determined it is economical to extract the ore from the land.
We may attempt to interest other companies to undertake exploration work on the Vunidawa Gold Claim through joint venture arrangement or even the sale of part of the Vunidawa Gold Claim. Neither of these avenues has been pursued as of the date of this Form 10-K.
We do not intend to hire any employees at this time. All of the work on the Vunidawa Gold Claim will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire.
The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, exploration, and excavation. We may engage a geologist to assist in evaluating the information derived from the exploration and excavation including advising us on the economic feasibility of removing any mineralized material we may discover.
We have no full-time employees and our management devotes a small percentage of their time to the affairs of the Company.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our financial commitments for the next twelve months consist of primarily related expenses of approximately $65,089 associated with the initiation of a mineral exploration program for a total estimate of expenses and cash requirements of $52,502. Including mineral exploration program, we will have to incur the following estimated expenses, including amounts owed to third party creditors less cash on hand, over the next twelve months:
Expenses | Amount |
| Description |
|
|
|
|
Accounting | $ 3,750 |
| Fees to the internal accountant for preparing the quarter and annual working papers for the financial statements to be reviewed and examined by the independent accountants. |
Audit | 7,000 |
| Review of the quarterly financial statements and examination of the annual financial statements and rendering an opinion thereon. |
Mineral exploration program | 26,226 |
| Mineral exploration program. |

| Annual maintenance fee and preparation of share certificates and other documents periodically required by the Company. |
| 46,336 |
|
|
Add: Account Payable | 18,753 |
| Relates to accounts payable owed to third parties as at July 31, 2014 with no consideration to amounts owed to related parties. |
Estimated cash requirements before cash on hand | 65,089 |
|
|
Deduct: Cash on hand | (12,587) |
| As at July 31, 2014 |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the year ended July 31, 2014 compared to July 31, 2013
For the period from August 1, 2013 to July 31, 2014, we had a net loss of $33,584 and a total net loss from September 23, 2010 (date of inception) to July 31, 2014 of $81,981. Our loss for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 represents various expenses incurred with payment to our independent accountants, office expenses and various accrued expenses which have not been paid to date as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2014 the Company had cash of $12,587 and current liabilities of $19,568 representing a working capital deficiency of $6,981.
We cannot assure that additional capital required to finance our operations will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify our business plan. In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepting accounting principles, or GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures.
Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience or on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
We believe that the critical accounting policies listed below involve our more significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and, therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. In addition, we believe that a discussion of these policies is necessary to understand and evaluate the financial statements contained in this Form 10-K.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with general accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
19
Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs
The cost of acquiring mineral properties or claims is initially capitalized and then tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Corporate Organization and History Within Last Five years
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 23, 2010 under the name Recursos Montana S.A. The Company does not have any subsidiaries, affiliated companies or joint venture partners. We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings since inception nor have we been party to a reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business other than the Vunidawa Gold Claim. We have plans to complete Phase I of our exploration program during the spring of 2015.
To date the Company has been financed though the sale of common shares to its two directors and officers in the amount of $75,000. With only $12,587 in cash on hand as at July 31, 2014 there will be a need for additional funds within the next six months. Either our two directors will have to make advances to our Company or else additional shares will have to be sold from our Treasury. No decision has been made in this regard. As of the July 31, 2014 our directors had advanced an aggregate total of $815 to the Company.
Since our inception we have incurred the following expenses:
Accounting and audit | $ 32,330 |
| Accounting and audit fees since inception. |
Consulting | 5,600 |
| Preparation of Form S-1. |
Exploration expenses | 2,500 |
| Property purchase. |

Trends
We are in the pre-explorations stage, have not generated any revenue and have no prospects of generating any revenue in the foreseeable future. We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our business or income, either in the long term of short term, other than as described in this section or in Risk Factors.
20
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our shareholders.
Short and long-term Trend Liabilities
We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our business either in the long-term or long-term liquidity which have not been disclosed under Risk Factors on page 5.
Internal and External Sources of Liquidity
There are no material internal or external sources of liquidity.
Known Trends, Events or Uncertainties having an Impact on Income
Since we are in the start-up stage and the Vunidawa Gold Claim has not produced any income, there is a chance that it never will. We do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on income in the future.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance future growth and expansion and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Compensation Plans
As at July 31, 2014 and up to the date of this Form 10-K, we have no shares of our common stock that are issued under compensation plans approved by our shareholders.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
The financial statements attached to this Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2014 have been audited by our independent accountants, Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC, 2455 E. Parleys Way, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84119 attached hereto.
ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no disagreements with our independent accountants.
ITEM 9A CONTROLS PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Luis Asdruval Gonzalez Rodriguez, and Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Miguel Guillen Kunhardt, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of July 31, 2014 (the Evaluation Date). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
21
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC'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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified below, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company's management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). As a result of this assessment, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness identified is described below.
1.
Certain entity level controls establishing a tone at the top were considered material weaknesses. As of July 31, 2014, the Company did not have a separate audit committee or a policy on fraud. A whistleblower policy is not necessary given the small size of the organization.
2.
Due to the significant number and magnitude of out-of-period adjustments identified during the year- end closing process, management has concluded that the controls over the period-end financial reporting process were not operating effectively. A material weakness in the period-end financial reporting process could result in us not being able to meet our regulatory filing deadlines and, if not remedied, has the potential to cause a material misstatement or to miss a filing deadline in the future. Management override of existing controls is possible given the small size of the organization and lack of personnel.
22
3.
There is no system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting. The Company maintains an insufficient complement of personnel to carry out ongoing monitoring responsibilities and ensure effective internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company's management has concluded that, as of July 31, 2014, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
Our independent accountants have stated, in their report included in this Form 10-K, that .but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Controls and Procedures
There were no changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could affect its disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor any deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions.

Luis Asdruval Gonzalez Rodriguez has been our Chief Executive Officer, President and Director since our inception. Mr. Rodriguez graduated from the Universidad Catolica Nordestana with a degree in Engineer Geology. Mr. Roridguezs business experience has involved working as an employee and/or consultant for various mining companies over the past eight years. In 2004, Mr. Rodriguez commenced work as an engineer in of new project developments for Rosario Dominicana Mining Company until 2006. From 2006 to 2008, Mr. Rodriguez working with Promotara AS as resident engineer and general supervisor. Since 2008, he has worked with Kuky Silverio Industry. Mr. Rodriguez has providing consulting services to various mining companies, including Falconado, Barrick Gold and Energold, and has provided independent feasibility and environmental impact studies on various mineral projects.
Mr. Rodriguez is a member of the Dominican Association of Engineers, Architects and Geologists.
Miguel Guillen Kunhardt has been our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director since inception. Mr. Kunhardt holds an electrical engineering degree from Institute of Technology, Dominican Republic in 1989 and a master in administrative engineering in 2004. Mr. Kunhardts previous business experience includes director of the Electrical Corporation of the Dominican Republic from 1991 to 2003. Previously, Mr. Kunhardt was employed with Unitrade International, a global logical corporation, whereby he was responsible for implementing and reviewing new projects and internal controls. Mr. Kunhardt was also director and Chief Financial Officer of Ideal Standard, a ceramic company, where he was responsible for financial and tax matters of the company, and a project manager for Shwager Energy where he oversaw projects involving energy efficiency, electrical and control automatics for its international clients. Currently, Mr. Kunhardt is the owner a various business in Dominican Republic, including gas stations and fast food businesses.
Mr. Kunhardt is currently a member of the Dominican and American Chamber of Commerce.
Our executive officers and directors do not have any formal training as a geologist and do not have training on the technical and managerial aspects of managing a mineral exploration company. Each of Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Kunhardt have not had any prior managerial and consulting positions have been in the mineral exploration industry. Accordingly, we will have to rely on the technical services of others to advise us on the managerial aspects specifically associated with a mineral exploration company. We do not have any employees who have professional training or experience in the mining industry. We rely on independent geological consultants to make recommendations to us on work programs on our property, to hire appropriately skilled persons on a contract basis to complete work programs and to supervise, review, and report on such programs to us.
Term of Office
Members of our board of directors are appointed to hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders or until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until they resign or are removed in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than our executive officers and directors.
Both of our officers and directors do not work full time for our Company but devote time to our Company as required. Luis Rodriguez does devote at least 20 hours each month to the affairs of the Company which is over and above his other work commitments. Miguel Kunhardt does devote whatever time is required of him; often in excess of 10 hours a month. Once our Company further develops the Vunidawa they both will have to spend more time on the affairs of the Company. In the meantime they will rely on the expertise of geologists to do the work on the Vunidawa.
None of our directors is an officer or director of a company registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
24

Board of Directors Audit Committee
The Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to oversee and monitor the Companys accounting and reporting processes and the audits of the Companys financial statements.
25
Our audit committee is comprised of Luis A. G. Rodriguez , our President and Chairman of the Audit Committee, and Miguel G. Kunhardt, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary Treasurer neither of whom are independent. Neither of our two directors is considered an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K and therefore in the future the Company will have to identify such an individual for a position on the Audit Committee.
Apart from the Audit Committee, the Company has no other Board committees.
Since incorporation on September 23, 2010, our members of our Audit Committee have not yet held a meeting but plan to do so within the near future.
We have no other Board Committees other than the Audit Committee.
Significant Employees
At the present time we have no paid employees and will not have until such time as the Board of Directors deems it practical. Presently our Officers and Directors fulfill many functions that would otherwise require our Company to hire employees or outside consultants other than the exploration of the Vunidawa.
We conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties. We plan to enter into a verbal arrangement with a consulting geologist who will be conducting the exploratory work on the Vunidawa Gold Claim under Phase I whereby we anticipate that we will pay him approximately $350 per day. As such consulting geologist has not been engaged at this time, there is no assurance that we will be able to retain such consulting geologist or that the fee will be $350 per day.
The exploration work under Phase I has not yet begun.
Family Relationships
Luis Rodriguez and Miguel Kunhardt are not related.

ITEM 12
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED PARTIES MATTERS
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of September 30, 2014 by: (i) each person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities of our shares of common stock, (ii) our executive officers and directors, and (iii) our named executive officers as defined in Item 402(m)(2) of Regulation S-K. Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholder listed possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
Title of Class | Name and Address of Beneficial Owner | Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership | Percentage of Common Stock(1) |
Security Ownership of Management | |||
Common Stock | Luis Asdruval Gonzalez Rodriguez Chief Executive Officer, President and Director | 30,000,000 (Direct) | 40.0% |
Common Stock | Miguel Guillen Kunhardt Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director | 15,000,000 (Direct) | 20.0% |
Common Stock | All Officers and Directors as a Group (2 persons) | 45,000,000 (Direct) | 60.0% |
| |||
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners | |||
Common Stock | Luis Asdruval Gonzalez Rodriguez Chief Executive Officer, President and Director | 30,000,000 (Direct) | 60.0% |
Common Stock | Miguel Guillen Kunhardt Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director | 15,000,000 (Direct) | 40.0% |
Notes:
(1)
A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, there were 75,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Changes in Control
There are no arrangements which may result in a change in control in the future.
27
Related Party Transactions and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions
On September 29, 2010, we issued 45,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 per share to Luis Asdruval Gonzalez Rodriguez, our Chief Executive Officer, President, director and an underwriter to this offering, and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 per share to Miguel Guillen Kunhardt, our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, director and an underwriter to this offering. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are restricted shares as defined in the Securities Act. Under an effective registration statement the two directors sold a total of 30,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.002 per share.
Director Independence
Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. As Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Kunhardt are each executive officers and directors, we have determined that they are not independent directors as defined under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).
Disclosure Of Commission Position Of Indemnification For Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is a term that refers broadly to the rules, processes, or laws by which businesses are operated, regulated and controlled. The term can refer to internal factors defined by the officers, stockholders or constitution of a corporation, as well as to external forces such as consumer groups, clients and governmental regulations. A well defined and enforced corporate governance provides a structure that, at least in theory, works for the benefit of everyone concerned by ensuring that the corporation adheres to accepted ethical standards and best practices as well as to formal laws.
ITEM 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Market for Common Equity, Dividends and Related Stockholder Matters
Holders of Common shares
Our Company has two shareholders, being our two officers and directors, who hold 60% of the outstanding common shares of our Company; being 45,000,000 common shares. The remaining common shares, being 30,000,000 common shares, are held by 44 other shareholders.
28
Market Information
Our common shares are presently quoted on the OTCBB. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to remain eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC; being as a minimum Forms 10-Q and 10-K. Market makers will not be permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet these filing requirements. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be moved following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their filing during that time.
There might be no liquidity in our common stock resulting in trading prices been volatile with wide fluctuations.
Our common shares are not subject to outstanding options, warrants or securities convertible into common shares of our Company. The issued and outstanding share certificates owned by our two directors have a legend printed on them restricting the certificates from being able to trade as in compliance with Rule 144.
Dividend Rights
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends pro-rata based on the number of shares held, when and if declared by our Board of Directors, from funds legally available for that purpose. Section 78.288 of Chapter 78 of the NRS prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
(a)
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
(b)
except as may be allowed by our Articles of Incorporation, our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors; are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution upon winding up of the affairs our Company; and are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote at all Meetings of the shareholders.
The shareholders are not entitled to preference as to dividends or interest; preemptive rights to purchase in new issues of shares; preference upon liquidation; or any other special rights or preferences.
There are no restrictions on dividends under any loan or other financing arrangements.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not contain provisions restricting our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.
Outstanding Equity Awards
Since incorporation on September 23, 2010, our Company has not granted any stock options or equity awards to our directors and officers or any other party.
We do not have an employee benefit stock option plan nor a dividend reinvestment plan. There are no outstanding warrants or rights attached to our common shares.
Outstanding Stock Opinion, Purchase Warrants and Convertible Securities
Our Company does not have any outstanding stock options to its two directors and officers. There are no share purchase warrants outstanding as at the date of this Form 10-K are there convertible securities.
29
Our authorized capital is 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value $0.001 per share. There are only 75,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Form 10-K.
Non-Cumulative Voting.
The holders of our shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the election of Directors, can elect all of the Directors to be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our Directors.
Equity Compensation Plans, Stock Options, Bonus Plans
No such plans or options exist. None have been approved or are anticipated. No Compensation Committee exists either.
Pension Benefits
We do not maintain any defined benefit pension plans.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
We do not maintain any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
Debt Securities and Other Securities
There are no debt securities outstanding or other securities.
Rule 144 Share Restrictions
Under Rule 144, an individual who is not an affiliate of our Company and has not been an affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale and has been the beneficial owner of our shares for at least six months would be entitled to sell them without restriction. This is subject to the continued availability of current public information about us for the first year which can be eliminated after a one-year hold.
Whereas an individual who is deemed to be an affiliate and has beneficially owned shares in our Company for at least six months can sell their shares in a given three month period as follows:
1.
One percent of the number of shares of our Company's common stock then outstanding, which the case of our current directors and officers, will equal approximately 450,000 shares as of the date of this Form 10-K; or
2.
The average weekly trading volume of our company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
Under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, a reporting or non-reporting shell company cannot sell shares under Rule 144, unless the company: (i) has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) is subject to the Exchange Act reporting obligations; (iii) has filed all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding twelve months; (iv) and at least one year has elapsed from the time the company filed with the SEC, current Form 10 type information reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
Employment Agreements
There are no employment agreements with our two directors or officers.
30
Penny Stock Rule
When, and if, quoted our common shares will be considered to be a penny stock because it will not meet one or more of the definitions in SEC Rule 3a51-1:
(i) |
| It has a price less than five dollars per share; |
|
|
|
(ii) |
| It is not traded on a recognized national exchange; |
|
|
|
(iii) |
| It is not quoted on a FINRA automated quotation system (NASDAQ), or even if so, has a price of less than five dollars per share; or |
|
|
|
(iv) |
| It is issued by a company with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000, if in business more than three years continuously, or $5,000,000, if the business is less than three years continuously, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the past three years. |
A broker-dealer will have to undertake certain administrative functions required when dealing win a penny stock transaction. Disclosure forms detailing the level of risk in acquiring our Companys shares will have to be sent to an interested investor, current bid and offer quotations will have to be provided with an indication as to what compensation the broker-dealer and the salesperson will be receiving from this transaction and a monthly statement showing the closing month price of the shares being held by the investor. In addition, the broker-dealer will have to receive from the investor a written agreement consenting to the transaction. This additional administrative work might make the broker-dealer reluctant to participate in the purchase and sale of our Companys shares.
From our Companys point of view, being subject to the Penny Stock Rule could make it extremely difficult for it to attract new investors for future capital requirements since many financial institutions are restricted under their by-laws from investing in shares under a certain dollar amount. Ordinary investors might not be willing to subscribe to shares in the capital stock of our Company due to the uncertainty as to whether the share price will ever be able to be high enough that the Penny Stock Rule is no longer a concern.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for thinly traded companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These wide fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our shares regardless of our future performance and that of our Company. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a security, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such company. Such litigation, if instituted, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of managements attention and resources, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.
Any new investor purchasing shares in our Company might consider whether they will be able to sell their shares at the price they acquired them or higher since if no broker-dealer becomes involved with our Company and our Company is unable to raise future investment capital the price per share may deteriorate to a point that an investors entire investment could be lost.
Change in Control of Our Company
We do not know of any arrangements which might result in a change in control.
Registered Agent
We are required by Section 78.090 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the NRS) to maintain a registered agent in the State of Nevada. Our registered agent for this purpose is American Corporate Enterprises, Inc., 123 W Nye Lane, Suite 129, Carson City, NV 89703. All legal process and any demand or notice authorized by law to be served upon us may be served upon our registered agent in the State of Nevada in the manner provided in NRS 14.020(2).
Transfer Agent
We have engaged the service of Globex Transfer, LLC, Suite 202 - 780 Deltona Blvd., Deltona, Florida, 32725 to act as transfer and registrar.
31
Anti-takeover Provision
In accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada and the Securities Regulation Act.
The Chapter 78 of Nevada Revised Statutes contains a provision governing "acquisition of controlling interest." This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires "control shares" whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: 20 to 33 1/3%; 33 1/3 to 50%; or more than 50%.
A "control share acquisition" is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The shareholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act.
The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of "Issuing Corporations" as defined by the Nevada law. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation, which: has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of record and residents of Nevada; and does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
At this time, we do not have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of us, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.
The Nevada "Combination with Interested Shareholders Statute" may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of us. This statute prevents an "interested shareholder" and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a "combination," unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines "combination" to include any merger or consolidation with an "interested shareholder," or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an "interested shareholder" having: an aggregate market value equal to 5 percent or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; an aggregate market value equal to 5 percent or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or representing 10 percent or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.
Conflicts of Interest
Neither of our officers or directors are directors or officers of any other company involved in the mining industry. However there can be no assurance such involvement will not occur in the future. Such present and potential future, involvement could create a conflict of interest.
To ensure that potential conflicts of interest are avoided or declared to our Company and its shareholders and to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the Board of Directors adopted, on September 27, 2010, a Code of Ethics. Our Companys Code of Ethics embodies our commitment to such ethical principles and sets forth the responsibilities of our Company and its officers and directors to its shareholders, employees, customers, lenders and other stakeholders. Our Code of Ethics addresses general business ethical principles and other relevant issues.
Director Independence
Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. As Luis Rodriguez and Miguel Kunhardt, our executive officers and directors, we have determined that neither Luis Rodriguez nor Miguel Kunhardt are not an independent director as defined under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Recursos Montana S.A.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Recursos Montana S.A. (the Company) as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders (deficiency) equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Recursos Montana S.A. as of July 31, 2014 and 2013 and 2013, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company will need additional working capital to accomplish its intended purpose, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2014
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company, Recursos Montana S.A., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 23, 2010 with the authorized capital stock of 250,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value.
The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. At the report date mineral claims, with unknown reserves, had been acquired. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net loss per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidulutive and then the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same. There were no dilutive stock equivalents outstanding at July 31, 2014.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using rules of ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Companys functional and reporting currency. Transactions denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statement of Operations:
Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the balance sheet date;
Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and
Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.
40
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of minerals will be recognized when a contract is in place and minerals are delivered to the customer.
Mineral claim acquisition and exploration costs
The cost of acquiring mineral properties or claims is initially capitalized and then tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their fair value due to their short term maturities.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with general accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
Statement of Cash Flows
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim acquired are unknown and therefore any estimate of any future cost cannot be made.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
As of July 31, 2014, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements.
The Company does not expect that the adoption of any other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3.
ACQUISITION OF MINERAL CLAIM
On October 28, 2010, the Company acquired the Vunidawa Gold Claim located in the Republic of Fiji from Morris Ventures LLC., an unrelated company, for the consideration of $5,000. The Vunidawa Gold Claim is located 60 kilometres southwest of the city of Korovou in Fiji. Under law of Fiji, the claim remains in good standing as long as the Company has an interest in it. There are no annual maintenance fees or minimum exploration work required on the Claim.
The acquisition costs have been impaired and expensed because there has been no exploration activity nor has there been any reserve established and we cannot currently project any future cash flows or salvage value.

4.
SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
As of July 31, 2014 the Company had received advances from Company directors for operating expenses in the amount of $815. During the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company received an additional $301, leaving an ending balance due of $815. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand.

As of July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits. The Companys policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the years ended July 31, 2014, and 2013 and no interest or penalties have been accrued as of July 31, 2014 and 2013. As of July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years from 2011 and forward remain open to examination by federal and state authorities due to net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities.
6.
CAPITAL STOCK
On September 29, 2010, Company completed a private placement consisting of 75,000,000 common shares at $0.001 per share sold to its two Directors for a total consideration of $75,000. On April 26, 2013, the directors sold under the Companys effective registration statement 30,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.002 per share.
7.
GOING CONCERN
The Company will need additional working capital to accomplish its intended purpose of exploring its mining claim, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through directors advances, additional equity funding, and long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.
