NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND DECEMBER 19, 2009
NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bonanza
Goldfields Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on March 6, 2008 ("Inception Date") On August 3, 2009 the Company elected
to change its year end to June 30th from
June 18th. The
Company is in the process of acquiring mineral properties or claims located in
the State of Arizona, USA. The recoverability of amounts from the properties or
claims will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable
reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying properties
and/or claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to
satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property and/or claim agreements
and to complete the development of the properties and/or claims, and upon future
profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof. The Company's corporate
office is located in Phoenix, Arizona.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN ISSUES
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the
Company has period end losses from operations in December 31, 2009. The
Company has net losses for the period from inception (March 6, 2008) to December
31, 2009 of $2,769,873. Further, the Company has inadequate working
capital to maintain or develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds from
private investors and the support of certain stockholders.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this regard,
Management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and
additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in raising additional capital.
The
Company's ability to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, achievement of
profitable operations and/or the discovery, exploration, development and sale of
mining reserves. The Company cannot reasonably be expected to earn revenue in
the exploration stage of operations. Although the Company plans to pursue
additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
secure financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory
to the Company, if at all.
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Basis of
Presentation
The
Company has produced minimal revenue from its principal business and is an
exploration stage company as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Topic 26 “Accounting and Reporting by Exploration State
Enterprises”.
4
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and
(iii) the reported amount of net sales and expenses recognized during the
periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often
relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with
respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of
financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
These
estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs
and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these
estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Exploration Stage
Enterprise
The
Company's financial statements are prepared pursuant to the provisions of Topic
26, “Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as it devotes substantially
all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests that will
eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company’s existence.
Until such interests are engaged in major commercial production, the Company
will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in
accordance with entities in the development stage. Mining companies
subject to Topic 26 are required to label their financial statements as an
“Exploratory Stage Company,” pursuant to guidance provided by SEC Guide 7 for
Mining Companies.
Revenue
Recognition
As the
Company is continuing exploration of its mineral properties, no significant
revenues have been earned to date. The Company recognizes revenues at the time
of delivery of the product to the customers
Revenue
includes sales value received for our principle product, silver, and associated
by-product revenues from the sale of by-product metals consisting primarily of
gold and copper. Revenue is recognized when title to silver and gold passes to
the buyer and when collectibility is reasonably assured. The passing of title to
the customer is based on terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is
determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely
traded commodity markets for example, the London Bullion Market, an active and
freely traded commodity market, for both gold and silver, in an identical form
to the product sold.
Pursuant
to guidance in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition for Financial Statements",
revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain
and collectibility is probable. The passing of title to the customer is based on
the terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point
revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity
markets, for example the London Bullion Market for both gold and silver, in an
identical form to the product sold.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
year ended or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include
cash on hand and cash in the bank.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are
retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the
difference between net book value and proceeds realized
thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.
5
The range
of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of
property and equipment are as follow:

Mine Exploration and
Development Costs
All
exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are
capitalized after proven and probable reserves have been identified.
Amortization is calculated using the units-of-production method over the
expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral
ounces.
Mineral
Properties
Significant
payments related to the acquisition of mineral properties, mineral rights, and
mineral leases are capitalized. If a commercially mineable ore body is
discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the
units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If no
commercially mineable ore body is discovered, or such rights are otherwise
determined to have no value, such costs are expensed in the period in which it
is determined the property has no future economic value.
Property
Evaluations
Management
of the Company will periodically review the net carrying value of its properties
on a property-by-property basis. These reviews will consider the net realizable
value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has
occurred and the need for any asset write-down. An impairment loss will be
recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without
interest) expected to result from the use of an asset are less than the carrying
amount of the asset. Measurement of an impairment loss will be based on
the estimated fair value of the asset if the asset is expected to be held and
used.
Although
management will make its best estimate of the factors that affect net realizable
value based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could
occur in the near term which could adversely affect management's estimate of net
cash flows expected to be generated from its assets, and necessitate asset
impairment write-downs.
Reclamation and Remediation
Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)
The
Company had no operating properties at December 31, 2009, but the Company’s
mineral properties will be subject to standards for mine reclamation that are
established by various governmental agencies. For these non-operating
properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation
obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are
reasonably estimable. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation
are not discounted to their present value. Such costs are based on management's
current estimate of amounts that are expected to be incurred when the
remediation work is performed within current laws and regulations.
It is
reasonably possible that due to uncertainties associated with defining the
nature and extent of environmental contamination, application of laws and
regulations by regulatory authorities, and changes in remediation technology,
the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future. The
Company continually reviews its accrued liabilities for such remediation and
reclamation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation
and reclamation liability has changed.
6
The
Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of
fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the associated long-lived assets
and depreciated over the lives of the assets on a units-of-production basis.
Reclamation costs are accreted over the life of the related assets and are
adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either
the timing or amount of the original present value estimate on the underlying
obligation.
Mineral property
rights
All
direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property rights are
capitalized. Exploration costs are charged to operations in the period incurred
until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically
recoverable reserves, at which time subsequent exploration costs and the costs
incurred to develop a property are capitalized.
The
Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral property rights whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may
exceed their estimated net recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognized
when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair
value. As of December 31, 2009, management has determined that no impairment
loss is required.
At such
time as commercial production may commence, depletion of each mining property
will be provided on a unit-of-production basis using estimated proven and
probable recoverable reserves as the depletion base. In cases where there are no
proven or probable reserves, depletion will be provided on the straight-line
basis over the expected economic life of the mine.
Asset retirement
obligations
The
Company plans to recognize liabilities for statutory, contractual or legal
obligations, including those associated with the reclamation of mineral and
mining properties and any plant and equipment, when those obligations result
from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the
assets. Initially, a liability for an asset retirement obligation will be
recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial
recognition of the liability, the corresponding asset retirement cost will be
added to the carrying amount of the related asset and the cost will be amortized
as an expense over the economic life of the asset using either the
unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, as appropriate. Following
the initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount
of the liability will be increased for the passage of time and adjusted for
changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle
the obligation.
The
Company has posted reclamation bonds with the State of Arizona Reclamation Bond
Pool for its properties as required by the United States Bureau of Land
Management, to secure potential clean-up and land restoration costs if the
projects were to be abandoned or closed. The Company has recorded the cost of
these bonds as an asset in the accompanying balance sheets.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets, such as
property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other
intangible assets are tested for impairment. Recoverability of assets
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or
changes in circumstances that necessitated an impairment of long lived
assets.
7
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740; "Accounting For Uncertainty In
Income Taxes-An Interpretation Of ASC Topic 740 ("Topic 740"). Topic
740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for
recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is
more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including
resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step
is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50%
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company
considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax
positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At December
31, 2009, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax
positions.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
The
Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks in Phoenix,
Arizona. The Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures
accounts at each institution up to $250,000.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company applies Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based
compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in
exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value
of the award. Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value
of options granted.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss
Per Share
Net loss
per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average
number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and
weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted
net loss per share for the Company is the same as basic net loss per share, as
the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. At
December 31, 2009 the common stock equivalents consisted of 250,000 options and
no common stock warrants.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The fair
value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a
forced sale or liquidation.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and related party
payable approximate fair value due to their most maturities.
8
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation for comparative purposes.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Recent
accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required
to adopt in the future are summarized below.
In
September 2009, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source
of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements
not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for
registrants. The discussion below includes the applicable ASC
reference.
On
December 31, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These
changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the
source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also
sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue
new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging
Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards
Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own
right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the
Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new
accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact
on the Condensed Financial Statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification as the source of GAAP to be applied to nongovernmental agencies.
ASC 105 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
ASC 105 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. ASC 105 does not have a material impact on the
Company’s Condensed financial statements presented hereby.
In May
2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC
855”). The pronouncement modifies the definition of what qualifies as a
subsequent event—those events or transactions that occur following the balance
sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available to
be issued—and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has
evaluated subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. The Company
adopted the provisions of ASC 855 in the second quarter of 2009, in accordance
with the effective date.
On April
1, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the FASB to the recognition and
presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. These changes amend existing
other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the
guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The recognition
provision applies only to fixed maturity investments that are subject to the
other-than-temporary impairments. If an entity intends to sell, or if it is more
likely than not that it will be required to sell an impaired security prior to
recovery of its cost basis, the security is other-than-temporarily impaired and
the full amount of the impairment is recognized as a loss through earnings.
Otherwise, losses on securities which are other-than-temporarily impaired are
separated into: (i) the portion of loss which represents the credit loss; or
(ii) the portion which is due to other factors.
9
The
credit loss portion is recognized as a loss through earnings, while the loss due
to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of
taxes and related amortization. A cumulative effect adjustment is required to
accumulated earnings and a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) to reclassify the non-credit portion of previously
other-than-temporarily impaired securities which were held at the beginning of
the period of adoption and for which the Company does not intend to sell and it
is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell such
securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis. These changes were
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted
these changes effective April 1, 2009.
In April
2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 825, “Financial
Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The pronouncement amends previous ASC 825 guidance to
require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in all interim
as well as annual financial statements. This pronouncement was effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and the Company adopted its
provisions in the second quarter of 2009.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the FASB to fair
value accounting and reporting as it relates to nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on at least an annual basis. These changes define fair
value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expand
disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other GAAP
that require or permit fair value measurements and is to be applied
prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of these changes, as it
relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, had no impact on
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These provisions will be
applied at such time a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or
nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is
materially different than would have been calculated prior to the adoption of
these changes.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the FASB to
accounting for intangible assets. These changes amend the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset in order to improve the consistency
between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset outside of a business
combination and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value
of an intangible asset in a business combination. The adoption of these changes
had no impact on the Condensed Financial Statements.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the FASB to the
calculation of earnings per share. These changes state that unvested share-based
payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be
included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class
method for all periods presented. The adoption of these changes had no impact on
the Condensed Financial Statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and
Other” (“ASC 350”). This pronouncement amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previous ASC 350 guidance,
thereby improving the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under ASC 350 and the period of expected cash flows used to
measure the fair value of the asset under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”
(“ASC 805”). This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied
prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The
Company has not acquired any intangible assets since adopting this
pronouncement. As such, there has been no impact to the Company’s financial
statements since the January 1, 2009 adoption date.
10
In March
2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”
(“ASC 815”), which expands the disclosure requirements in previous ASC 815
guidance about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. This
pronouncement’s disclosure provisions apply to all entities with derivative
instruments subject to the previous ASC 815 guidance. The provisions also apply
to related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments
that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with
instruments subject to this pronouncement must provide more robust qualitative
disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. Such disclosures, as well as
existing required disclosures, generally will need to be presented for every
annual and interim reporting period. This pronouncement was effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company
has included the expanded disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging
activities within the Company’s Condensed Financial Statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC
805”), which replaces previous ASC 805 guidance. This pronouncement establishes
principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired in
connection with a business combination. This pronouncement also establishes
disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and
financial effect of the business combination. This pronouncement applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after
December 15, 2008. The Company applied the provisions of ASC 805 in
connection with the acquisition that closed during the first quarter of 2009.
The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the
Company’s Condensed Financial Statements.
Updates issued but not yet
adopted
In
October 2009, the FASB issued updates to revenue recognition guidance. These
changes provide application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how
the deliverables should be separated, and how the consideration should be
allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling
price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling
price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective
evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective
evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific
or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this
guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The
Company has not determined the impact that this update may have on its Condensed
Financial Statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued updates to fair value accounting for liabilities. These
changes clarify existing guidance that in circumstances in which a quoted price
in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is
required to measure fair value using either a valuation technique that uses a
quoted price of either a similar liability or a quoted price of an identical or
similar liability when traded as an asset, or another valuation technique that
is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements, such as an income
approach (e.g., present value technique). This guidance also states that both a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability and a quoted price
for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no
adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value
measurements. These changes will become effective for the Company’s Financial
Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company has not determined
the impact that this update may have on its Condensed Financial
Statements.

NOTE
7 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Effective
September 16, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2008
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2008 Plan"). The Plan
reserves 1,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards to employees,
non-employee directors and consultants performing services for the Company.
Options and warrants granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to or
greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of
grant and become exercisable based on a vesting schedule determined at the date
of grant. The options expire 2 years from the date of grant whereas
warrants generally expire 5 years from the date of grant. Restricted stock
awards granted under the Plan are subject to a vesting period determined at the
date of grant.
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the
provisions of ASC Topic 718, Share-Based Payment, which
addresses the accounting for employee stock options. ASC Topic 718
requires that the cost of all employee stock options, as well as other
equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements
over the vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 718 as of September 16, 2008. Prior to
the adoption date, there were no stock options or other equity-based
compensation awards outstanding.

NOTE
8 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 740 which requires the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial
reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
For
income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating
losses approximate $2,420,035 which expire in various years through 2028,
subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net
operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the
earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits
will not be realized.
Under the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, the benefits from net operating losses carried forward
may be impaired or limited on certain circumstances. Events which may cause
limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize
in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change
of more than 50% over a three-year period. The impact of any limitations that
may be imposed for future issuances of equity securities, including issuances
with respect to acquisitions have not been determined.
The
provision (benefit) for income taxes from continued operations for the six
months ended December 31, 2009 and six months ended December 19, 2008 consist of

ITEM
2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that
involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q,
including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow
sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”,
“believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions,
identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including
but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets,
market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of
relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key
personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be
beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s
discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most
astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of software licenses
and recurring revenue. Management will elect additional changes to revenue
recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward
going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e.
SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth therein.
Forward-looking
statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks
that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially
differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those
identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 19, 2009, as well as other factors that we
are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the
future.
In
addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of
operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our
exploration target is to find exploitable minerals on our property. Our success
depends on achieving that target. There is the likelihood of our mineral claim
containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of gold and other
minerals. There is the possibility that our claim does not contain any reserves
and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we complete our
current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit
we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our claim to
production. We are unable to assure you we will be able to raise the additional
funds necessary to implement any future exploration or extraction program even
if mineralization is found.

Results
of Operations
We are an
exploration stage company that
is in the process
of acquiring mineral properties or claims located in the State of Arizona, USA.
The recoverability of amounts from the properties or claims will be dependent
upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the our
interest in the underlying properties and/or claims, our ability to obtain
necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property
and/or claim agreements and to complete the development of the properties and/or
claims, and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale
thereof.
For the
period ended December 31, 2009 and for fiscal 2009, we generated no revenue. Our
future revenue plan is uncertain and is dependent on our ability to effectively
mine our products, generate sales, and obtain contract mining opportunities.
There are no assurances of the ability of our company to begin to mine our
claim. The cost of mining is cost intensive. Accordingly, it is critical for us
to raise appropriate capital to implement our business plan. We
incurred losses of $382,153 and $77,893 for the six months ended December 31,
2009 and December 19, 2008 respectively. Our losses since our inception through
December 31, 2009 amount to $2,769,873.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We have
maintained a minimum of three months of working capital in its bank account
since June 1, 2008. This reserve was intended to allow for an adequate amount of
time to secure additional funds from investors as needed. To date, we have has
succeeded in securing capital as needed, but there is no guarantee this will
continue.
There is
no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of
our performance. We are an exploration stage company and have not generated
revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our
business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources,
possible delays in the exploration of our property, and possible cost overruns
due to increases in the cost of services. To become profitable and competitive,
we must conduct the exploration of our properties before we start into
production of any minerals we may find.
We
believe we will have to rely on public and private equity and debt financings to
fund our liquidity requirements over the intermediate term. We may be unable to
obtain any additional financings on terms favorable to us, or obtain additional
funding at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, and if
cash and cash equivalents together with any income generated from operations
fall short of our liquidity requirements, we may be unable to sustain
operations. Continued negative cash flows could create substantial doubt
regarding our ability to fully implement our business plan and could render us
unable to expand our operations, successfully promote our brand, develop our
products, respond to competitive pressures, or take advantage of acquisition
opportunities, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our
stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest, and the newly
issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we
raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on our
operations, including limitations on the payments of dividends.
Off-balance sheet
arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the
liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or
other benefits.
Critical Accounting
Policies
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant
accounting policies are as follows:
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company has produced minimal revenue from its principal business and is an
exploration stage company as defined by ASC Topic 26 “Accounting and Reporting
by Exploration State Enterprises”.
22
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the
reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.
Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Exploration
Stage Enterprise
The
Company's financial statements are prepared pursuant to the provisions of ASC
Topic 26 “Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as it devotes
substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests
that will eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company’s
existence. Until such interests are engaged in major commercial production, the
Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related
disclosures in accordance with entities in the development stage. Mining
companies subject to ASC Topic 26 are required to label their financial
statements as an “Exploratory Stage Company,” pursuant to guidance provided by
SEC Guide 7 for Mining Companies.
Revenue
Recognition
As the
Company is continuing exploration of its mineral properties, no significant
revenues have been earned to date. The Company recognizes revenues at the time
of delivery of the product. Revenue includes sales value received for our
principle product, gold, and associated by-product revenues from the sale of
by-product metals consisting primarily of gold. Revenue is recognized when title
to gold passes to the buyer and when collectibility is reasonably assured. The
passing of title to the customer is based on terms of the sales contract.
Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to
active and freely traded commodity markets for example, the London Bullion
Market, an active and freely traded commodity market, for both gold and silver,
in an identical form to the product sold.
Pursuant
to guidance in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition for Financial Statements",
revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain
and collectibility is probable. The passing of title to the customer is based on
the terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point
revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity
markets, for example the London Bullion Market for both gold and silver, in an
identical form to the product sold.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are
retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the
difference between net book value and proceeds realized thereon. Ordinary
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and
betterments are capitalized.
The range
of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of
property and equipment are as follow:

The

Mine
Exploration and Development Costs
All
exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are
capitalized after proven and probable reserves have been identified.
Amortization is calculated using the units-of-production method over the
expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral
ounces.
23
Mineral
Properties
Significant
payments related to the acquisition of mineral properties, mineral rights, and
mineral leases are capitalized. If a commercially mineable ore body is
discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the
units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If no
commercially mineable ore body is discovered, or such rights are otherwise
determined to have no value, such costs are expensed in the period in which it
is determined the property has no future economic value.
Property
Evaluations
Management
of the Company will periodically review the net carrying value of its properties
on a property-by-property basis. These reviews will consider the net realizable
value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has
occurred and the need for any asset write-down. An impairment loss will be
recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without
interest) expected to result from the use of an asset are less than the carrying
amount of the asset. Measurement of an impairment loss will be based on the
estimated fair value of the asset if the asset is expected to be held and
used.
Although
management will make its best estimate of the factors that affect net realizable
value based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could
occur in the near term which could adversely affect management's estimate of net
cash flows expected to be generated from its assets, and necessitate asset
impairment write-downs.
Reclamation
and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)
The
Company had no operating properties at December 31, 2009, but the Company’s
mineral properties will be subject to standards for mine reclamation that are
established by various governmental agencies. For these non-operating
properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation
obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are
reasonably estimable. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation
are not discounted to their present value. Such costs are based on management's
current estimate of amounts that are expected to be incurred when the
remediation work is performed within current laws and regulations.
It is
reasonably possible that due to uncertainties associated with defining the
nature and extent of environmental contamination, application of laws and
regulations by regulatory authorities, and changes in remediation technology,
the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future. The
Company continually reviews its accrued liabilities for such remediation and
reclamation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation
and reclamation liability has changed.
The
Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of
fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as
part of the carrying amount of the associated long-lived assets and depreciated
over the lives of the assets on a units-of-production basis. Reclamation costs
are accreted over the life of the related assets and are adjusted for changes
resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of
the original present value estimate on the underlying obligation.
Mineral
property rights
All
direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property rights are
capitalized. Exploration costs are charged to operations in the period incurred
until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically
recoverable reserves, at which time subsequent exploration costs and the costs
incurred to develop a property are capitalized. The Company reviews the carrying
values of its mineral property rights whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net
recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of
those assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. As of December 31,
2009, management has determined that no impairment loss is
required.
At such
time as commercial production may commence, depletion of each mining property
will be provided on a unit-of-production basis using estimated proven and
probable recoverable reserves as the depletion base. In cases where there are no
proven or probable reserves, depletion will be provided on the straight-line
basis over the expected economic life of the mine.
Asset
retirement obligations
The
Company plans to recognize liabilities for statutory, contractual or legal
obligations, including those associated with the reclamation of mineral and
mining properties and any plant and equipment, when those obligations result
from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the
assets. Initially, a liability for an asset retirement obligation will be
recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial
recognition of the liability, the corresponding asset retirement cost will be
added to the carrying amount of the related asset and the cost will be amortized
as an expense over the economic life of the asset using either the
unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, as appropriate. Following
the initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount
of the liability will be increased for the passage of time and adjusted for
changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle
the obligation.
The
Company has posted reclamation bonds with the State of Arizona Reclamation Bond
Pool for its properties as required by the United States Bureau of Land
Management, to secure potential clean-up and land restoration costs if the
projects were to be abandoned or closed. The Company has recorded the cost of
these bonds as an asset in the accompanying balance sheets.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In
accordance with ASC Topic 365, long-lived assets, such as
property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other
intangible assets are tested for impairment. Recoverability of assets
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or
changes in circumstances that necessitated an impairment of long lived
assets.
24
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740; "Accounting For Uncertainty In
Income Taxes-An Interpretation Of ASC Topic 740 ("Topic 740"). Topic
740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for
recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is
more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including
resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step
is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50%
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company
considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax
positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At December
31, 2009, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax
positions.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks in Phoenix, Arizona. The
Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures accounts at each
institution up to $250,000 until December 31, 2009
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company applies Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based
compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in
exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value
of the award. Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value
of options granted.
Basic
and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss
per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average
number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and
weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted
net loss per share for the Company is the same as basic net loss per share, as
the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. At
December 31, 2009 the common stock equivalents consisted of 250,000 options and
no common stock warrants.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a
forced sale or liquidation.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and related party
payable approximate fair value due to their most maturities.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation for comparative purposes.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last
day of the fiscal period covered by this report, December 31,
2009. The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls
and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
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 by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our
principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009.
Our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, are responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f). Our principal executive officer and our
principal financial officer are required to base their assessment of
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a
suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework,
published in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework, is known as the COSO Report. Our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have chosen the
COSO framework on which to base their assessment. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2009.
Management’s
report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm
pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
permit us to provide only management’s report in our annual reports on Form 10-K
for the annual reporting periods through June 18, 2009.
It should
be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the
system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of
these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During
the Quarter ended December 31, 2009, there was no change in our internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the
following risk factors
together with the other information contained in this Interim Report on Form
10-Q, and in prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could
be materially adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of our common
stock could decline. There have been no material changes to the risk
factors previously discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the
year ended June 18, 2009, including but not limited, to the
following:
The
Report Of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Contains Explanatory
Language That Substantial Doubt Exists About Our Ability To Continue As A Going
Concern
The
Company has net losses for the period from inception (March 6, 2008) to December
31, 2009 of $2,769,873. The independent auditor’s report on our
financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists
about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report states that we
depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to work
effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and to manage our
business. The loss of key personnel, or their failure to work effectively, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results
of operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term
or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe
liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our
operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result
of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.
Because the probability of an
individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, any funds spent on
exploration will probably be lost.
The
probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote.
In all probability the property does not contain any reserves. As such, any
funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which will result in a loss of
your investment.
We
lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the
future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease activities.
We were
incorporated in March 6, 2008 and we have not started our proposed business
activities or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an
evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss was
$2,769,873from inception to December 31, 2009. Our ability to achieve and
maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
● | our ability to locate a profitable mineral property |
● | our ability to generate revenues |
● | our ability to reduce exploration costs. |
27
Based
upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This
will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and
exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues
in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease
activities.
Because
we will have to spend additional funds to determine if we have a reserve, if we
can't raise the money we will have to cease operations and you could lose your
investment.
Even if
we complete our current exploration program and it is successful in identifying
a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling
and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable
mineral deposit, a reserve.
As
we undertake exploration of our claims and interests, we will be subject to
compliance of government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and
cost of our exploration program.
There are
several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration of
minerals. We will be subject to the mining laws and regulations in force
in the jurisdictions where our claims are located, and these laws and
regulations may change over time. In order to comply with these
regulations, we may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform
remediation work for any physical disturbance to land. While our planned
budget for exploration programs includes a contingency for regulatory
compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of
doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program, or that
the budgeted amounts are inadequate.
Because
of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we
may incur liability or damages, which could hurt our financial position and
possibly result in the failure of our business.
The
search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may
become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and
other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not
to insure. . We currently
have no such insurance, but our management intends to periodically review the
availability of commercially reasonable insurance coverage. If a hazard
were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and
cause us to liquidate all our assets.
If
we confirm commercial concentrations of gold or other minerals on our claims and
interests, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully
bring those claims or interests into commercial production.
If our
exploration programs are successful in confirming deposits of commercial tonnage
and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the claims and
interests into commercial production. This may occur for a number of
reasons, including because of regulatory or permitting difficulties, because we
are unable to obtain any adequate funds or because we cannot obtain such funds
on terms that we consider economically feasible.
We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or suspend activities.
Competition
and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in
occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as dynamite, and certain equipment
such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We
have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products,
equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and
materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products and
equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do
find the products and equipment we need.
Due
to external market factors in the mining business, we may not be able to market
any minerals that may be found.
The
mining industry, in general, is intensely competitive. Even if commercial
quantities of minerals are discovered, we can provide no assurance to investors
that a ready market will exist for the sale of these minerals. Numerous
factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances
discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and
capacity of markets and processing equipment, and government regulations,
including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land
use, mineral importing and exporting and environmental protection. The
exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any
combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return
on invested capital.
28
Because our
officers and directors have other outside business activities and will only be
devoting approximately five hours per week to our operations, our operations may
be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of
exploration.
Because
our officers and directors have other outside business activities and will only
be devoting five
hours per week to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at
times which are convenient to our officer and director. As a result, exploration
of the property may be periodically interrupted or suspended.
Nevada Law
And Our Articles Of Incorporation Protect Our Directors From Certain Types Of
Lawsuits, Which Could Make It Difficult For Us To Recover Damages From Them In
The Event Of A Lawsuit.
Nevada
law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our
stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as
directors. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors
and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the
fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have
the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our
directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The
indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend
our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their
negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
If
a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to
sell their shares and will incur losses as a result.
There is
currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will
develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the over
the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement,
of which this prospectus forms a part. Our shares may never trade on the
bulletin board. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be
difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may
find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their
investment.
Failure
to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act could have a material adverse effect on our
business and operating results.
It may be
time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the
additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal
auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate
additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are
unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not
be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.
If we
fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to
remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify,
such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements,
cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and
have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, we
will be required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over
financial reporting and beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for
our fiscal period ending June 30, furnish a report by our management on our
internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of
documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy
these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and
administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from
revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our management is
expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a
timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our auditors will be able to
issue an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain
an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404
certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock
price.
29
In
addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses”
in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a
significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB
defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a
remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more
than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
In the
event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel
and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material
weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing
effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to
anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory
environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of
internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a
public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will
remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement
and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the
future.
Any
failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to
implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their
implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our
reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the
periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a
failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would
adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls
could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our
common stock.
Because We Are Quoted On The OTCBB
Instead Of An Exchange Or National Quotation System, Our Investors May Have A
Tougher Time Selling Their Stock Or Experience Negative Volatility On The Market
Price Of Our Stock.
Our
common stock is traded on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly
illiquid. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that
trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This
volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily
available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision
of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions.
Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market
price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations,
when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities.
Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their
shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a
substantial period of time until the market for our common stock
improves.
Once
publicly trading, the application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely
affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs
to sell those shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rule
3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes
relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than
$5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject
to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, rule 15g-9 require:
30
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: | |
● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: | |
● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
● | Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. |
FINRA
sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and
sell our stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending
an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for
believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to
recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional
customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and
other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that
there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be
suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult
for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which
may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on
the market for our shares.
The
market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as
a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float,
limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide
fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our common
shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading
market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase
price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The
market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility
when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will
continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.
The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First,
as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a
consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small
quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the
price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common
shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a
seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on
its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our
limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future
market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced
risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of
their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more
inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater
discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of
these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our
common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any
predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common
shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will
sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of
shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on
the prevailing market price.
31
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for
penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such
patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few
broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
(2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and
sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices
involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask
differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale
dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have
been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable
collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is
aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.
Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the
market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will
strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described
patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence
of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share
price.
Volatility
in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation, thereby
diverting our resources that may have a material effect on our profitability and
results of operations.
As
discussed in the preceding risk factors, the market for our common shares is
characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers,
and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a
seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often
initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods
of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the
target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial
costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and
resources.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF
EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS SECURITIES
The
Company entered into a convertible debenture with Venture Capital International
on January 26, 2009 in the amount of $16,000. This convertible debenture is due
on January 26, 2010. The note has an interest rate of 4.45% per annum. The
holder of the convertible debenture may at the holders option convert, in whole
or in part at any time and from time to time, to the Company’s common stock at a
price in effect on any conversion date shall equal to $.01. As of December 31,
2009 and June 18, 2009 the Company had a balance due to Venture Capital
International related to this debenture in the amount of $8,661 and $16,279,
respectively. On December 22, 2009 the holder of the debenture
converted in two separate $4,000 principle conversions with a total of $8,000 of
the principle balance with each $4,000 conversion 2,800,000 common shares were
issued with the total shares issued of 5,600,000 common shares. On
December 22, 2009 the companies stock was trading at $.055 therefore the total
amount of the conversion was $308,000 where $8,000 reduced the convertible
Debenture and the remaining $300,000 was expensed to interest
expense. The offer and sale of such shares of our common stock were
effected in reliance on the exemptions for sales of securities not involving a
public offering, as set forth in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act,
based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were
“accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act and had such background, education and experience in
financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of
an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or
general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were
provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested
with respect to our company; (d) the investors acknowledged that all
securities being purchased were “restricted securities” for purposes of the
Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction
registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the
Securities Act; and (e) a legend was placed on the certificates
representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be
transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act or transferred in
a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
