The
Company
Mexus Gold US is a development stage
mining company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and
advancement of gold, silver and copper projects in the State of Sonora, Mexico
and the Western United States. Mexus Gold US is dedicated to protect
the environment, provide employment and education opportunities for the
communities that it operates in.
Our President and CEO, Paul Thompson,
brings over 40 years experience in mining and mining development to Mexus Gold
US. Mr. Thompson is currently recruiting additional management personnel for its
Mexico, Nevada, and submarine Cable Recovery operations to assist in growing the
company.
Our
executive offices are located at, 1805 N. Carson Street, #150, Carson City,
Nevada 89701. Our telephone number is (916) 776 2166.
We were
originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 22,
1990, as U.S.A. Connection, Inc. On October 28, 2005, we changed our
name to Action Fashions, Ltd. On October 28, 2009, we changed our
domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Mexus Gold US to better reflect our
new business operations. Our fiscal year end is March 31st.
Description
of the Business of Mexus Gold US
Mexus Gold US is engaged in the
evaluation, acquisition, exploration and advancement of gold exploration and
development projects in the state of Nevada and Mexico, as well as, the salvage
of precious metals from identifiable sources. Our main activities in
the near future will be comprised of our mining opportunity, completion of the
acquisition of Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. and the cable salvage
opportunity.
Our mining opportunity located in the
state of Nevada and the completion of the acquisition and merger of Mexus Gold
S.A. de C.V. which holds properties in the state of Sonora, Mexico will provide
us with projects to recover gold, silver, cooper and other precious metals. The
cable salvage opportunity involves principally the recovery of copper and lead
from abandoned cable previously utilized for communications
purposes. Each of these opportunities are discussed further
herein.
In addition, our management will look
for opportunities to improve the value of the gold projects that we own or may
acquire knowledge of or may acquire control through exploration drilling,
introduction of technological innovations or acquisition with the goal of
developing those properties into operating mines. We expect that emphasis on
gold project acquisition and development will continue in
the future.
Business
Strategy
Our business plan was developed with
the overriding goal of maximizing shareholder value through the exploration and
development of our mineral properties, utilizing the extensive mining-related
background and capabilities of our management and employees, and also through
strategic partnerships. To achieve this goal, our business plan focuses on five
strategic areas:
Lida Mining District,
Nevada
We
believe the Nevada properties represent the potential to provide the company
with a viable project with the addition of additional geologic evaluation and
the drilling of prospective areas. Our strategy for this project is to utilize
geological data acquired through prior studies, confirm prior drilling results,
expand the delineation of the possible ore body and identify reserves through
our own geological evaluations.
Mexus Gold S.A. de
C.V.
Our main
objective is to complete the acquisition and merger of Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V.
We expect that we will have to provide funding to the operation in Mexico in
order to finalize the transaction. Once the transaction is completed, we expect
to begin shipping raw materials from the mining areas for bulk processing and
further analysis. We also expect to initialize an exploration drilling program
to further identify the extent of the possible reserves now
identified.
Cable Salvage
Operation
We have determined that instituting a
salvage operation offshore Alaska initially for the smaller diameter cable will
provide us with the knowledge and experience to proceed forward with this
project.
Other Exploration
Properties
Our Other Exploration Properties
comprise earlier-stage exploration properties. We are currently conducting a
number of activities in connection with our earlier-stage exploration
properties. During 2009, additional unpatented mining claims were staked in
Esmeralda County, Nevada. The evaluation includes compilation of all geologic
data and land information for the properties in a geological information system
data base. We also staked additional claims in the State of Sonora,
Mexico in areas of interest to the company.
Mergers and
Acquisitions
We will routinely review merger and
acquisition opportunities. An appropriate merger and acquisition opportunity
must be accretive to the overall value of Mexus Gold US. Our primary focus will
be on those opportunities involving precious metal production or near-term
production with a secondary focus on other resource-based opportunities.
Potential acquisition targets would include private and public companies or
individual properties. Although our preference would be for candidates located
in the United States and Mexico. Mexus Gold US will consider opportunities
located in other countries where the geopolitical risk is
acceptable.
Mining
Operations
We classify our mineral properties into
three categories: “Development Properties”, “Advanced Exploration Properties”,
and “Other Exploration Properties”. Development Properties are properties where
a decision to develop the property into a producing mine has been
made. Advanced Exploration Properties are those properties where we
retain a significant ownership interest or joint venture and where there has
been sufficient drilling and analysis to identify and report proven and probable
reserves or other mineralized material. We currently do not have a Development
Property or Advanced Exploration Property. Other Exploration Properties are
those that do not fall into the other categories. Please see below for
information about our Other Exploration Properties.
Other
Exploration Properties
Our Other Exploration Properties
consist of the following:
Mining
Properties located in the state of Nevada
Lida Mining
District
We have entered into agreements on
lands located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. We hold an option on 150 acres of
patented lands, 14 mining claims and two mill sites with water rights. We have
also staked additional claims as a result of our initial geological
evaluations.
The lands are situated in an area of
previous exploration and evaluation for precious metals. Past mine engineering
reports have established indicated reserves through drilling and show both
underground and open pit mining potential. Our plans are to conduct a drilling
program to confirm the data presented in prior geological reports. Based on the
results of our geological evaluation we will determine our future course of
exploration and evaluation.
There have been several geological
reports over the years regarding the properties. The following reports are under
evaluation:
1. A
1977 report by Andrew J. Zinkle, Mining Engineer, the property was given 52,946
tons proven, 99,500 tons probable and 278,000 tons possible mineral bearing ore
with grades estimated at 20 ounces per ton silver and .05 ounces per ton
gold.
2. A
report dated 1981 by E.R. Kruchowski, Mine Engineer gives the property 136,089
proven tons ore and 272,178 probable tons ore at average grades of 7.63 ounces
silver per ton and .05 ounces gold per ton.
The previous Engineering reports
mentioned are reported to us as covering only one third of the patented
property. Additional patented claims have been included in the option agreement
representing approximately 100 acres. The additional lands have no current
geological evaluation ,however, there are historical reports prior to
1939.
Mining
Properties Located in Mexico
The following properties are located in
Mexico and owned by Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. As of the date of this Report,
we have not completed our business combination transaction with Mexus Gold S.A.
de C.V.:
Ocho
Hermanos
The main feature is a sulfide zone
composed primarily of galena with some pyrite and arsenopyrite. Above this zone
there is an oxide zone composed of iron and lead oxides. Recent grab samples
taken indicate that values over 5,000 grams per ton of silver were encountered.
These samples may not reflect the average grade. However, grab sample results
indicate silver values over 3,000 grams per ton appear to be not unusual. Gold
in the samples ranged from 1 gram per ton to over 5 grams per ton.
370 Area
This zone is composed of a sedimentary
sequence (limestone, quartzite, shale) intruded by dacite and diorite as well as
rhyolite. The docite exhibits argillic alterations as well as silicification
(quartz veins). The entire area is well oxidized on the surface. This is an area
of classic disseminated low grade gold and silver mineralization. Surface grab
sample assays show 0.14 grams per ton to as high as 29.490 grams per ton gold.
This area is an important area for potentially defining an open pit heap leach
project.
El Scorpion Project
Area
This area has several shear zones and
veins which show copper and gold mineralization’s. Recent assays of a 84’ drill
hole shows 2,887 grams per ton to 1,139 grams per ton of copper and 3.971 grams
per ton to 0.072 grams per ton of gold. Another assay of rock sample from the
area shows greater than 10,000 grams per ton copper. This land form distribution
appears to be snonymous to the ideal porphyry deposit at Baja La Alumbrera,
Argentina.
Los
Laureles
Los
Laureles is a vein type deposit mainly gold with some silver and copper. Recent
assays from grab samples show gold values of 67.730 grams per ton gold, 38.4
grams per ton silver, 2,800 grams per ton copper.
Cable
Salvage Operation
Our examination of the
information provided to us and our accumulation of data has identified the most
prospective area to begin our salvage operations is the near coast areas of
Alaska. The initial recovery operations will be comprised of acquiring two and
one-half inch diameter cable with a weight of eight and one-half pounds. We are
satisfied that we will be able to comply with all permits and notifications to
the appropriate governmental authorities regarding the salvage
operations.
Employees
Mexus Gold US has no employees at this
time. Consultants with specific skills are utilized to assist with various
aspects of the requirements of activities such as project evaluation, property
management, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and
property management. If we complete our planned activation of the
Nichols Property Exploration and Drilling Program, Cable Salvage Operations and
completion of the Acquisition of Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. Program, our total
workforce will be approximately 30 persons.
Competition
Mexus Gold US competes with other
mining companies in connection with the acquisition of gold properties. There is
competition for the limited number of gold acquisition opportunities, some of
which is with companies having substantially greater financial resources than
Mexus Gold US. As a result, Mexus Gold US may have difficulty acquiring
attractive gold projects at reasonable prices.
Management of Mexus Gold US believes
that no single company has sufficient market power to affect the price or supply
of gold in the world market.
Legal
Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings to which
Mexus Gold US or Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. are a party or of which any of our
properties are the subject thereof.
Property
Interests, Mining Claims and Risk
Property Interests and
Mining Claims
Our exploration activities are
conducted in the state of Nevada. Mineral interests may be owned in this state
by (a) the United States, (b) the state itself, or
(c) private parties. Where prospective mineral properties are owned by
private parties, or by the state, some type of property acquisition agreement is
necessary in order for us to explore or develop such property. Generally, these
agreements take the form of long term mineral leases under which we acquire the
right to explore and develop the property in exchange for periodic cash payments
during the exploration and development phase and a royalty, usually expressed as
a percentage of gross production or net profits derived from the leased
properties if and when mines on the properties are brought into production.
Other forms of acquisition agreements are exploration agreements coupled with
options to purchase and joint venture agreements. Where prospective mineral
properties are held by the United States, mineral rights may be acquired
through the location of unpatented mineral claims upon unappropriated federal
land. If the statutory requirements for the location of a mining claim are met,
the locator obtains a valid possessory right to develop and produce minerals
from the claim. The right can be freely transferred and, provided that the
locator is able to prove the discovery of locatable minerals on the claims, is
protected against appropriation by the government without just compensation. The
claim locator also acquires the right to obtain a patent or fee title to his
claim from the federal government upon compliance with certain additional
procedures.
Mining claims are subject to the same
risk of defective title that is common to all real property interests.
Additionally, mining claims are self-initiated and self-maintained and
therefore, possess some unique vulnerabilities
not
associated with other types of property interests. It is impossible to ascertain
the validity of unpatented mining claims solely from an examination of the
public real estate records and, therefore, it can be difficult or impossible to
confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location and
maintenance of a claim. If the validity of a patented mining claim is challenged
by the BLM or the U.S. Forest Service on the grounds that mineralization
has not been demonstrated, the claimant has the burden of proving the present
economic feasibility of mining minerals located thereon. Such a challenge might
be raised when a patent application is submitted or when the government seeks to
include the land in an area to be dedicated to another use.
Reclamation
We may be required to mitigate
long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, resloping and
revegetating various portions of a site after mining and mineral processing
operations are completed. These reclamation efforts will be conducted in
accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the
appropriate regulatory agencies.
Risk
Our success depends on our ability to
recover precious metals, process them, and successfully sell them for more than
the cost of production. The success of this process depends on the market prices
of metals in relation to our costs of production. We may not always be able to
generate a profit on the sale of gold or other minerals because we can only
maintain a level of control over our costs and have no ability to control the
market prices. The total cash costs of production at any location are frequently
subject to great variation from year to year as a result of a number of factors,
such as the changing composition of ore grade or mineralized material
production, and metallurgy and exploration activities in response to the
physical shape and location of the ore body or deposit. In addition costs are
affected by the price of commodities, such as fuel and electricity. Such
commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including
increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A
material increase in production costs or a decrease in the price of gold or
other minerals could adversely affect our ability to earn a profit on the sale
of gold or other minerals. Our success depends on our ability to produce
sufficient quantities of precious metals to recover our investment and operating
costs.
Distribution
Methods of the Products
The end
product of our operations will usually be doré bars. Doré is an alloy consisting
of gold, silver and other precious metals. Doré is sent to refiners to produce
bullion that meets the required market standard of 99.95% pure gold. Under the
terms of refining agreements we expect to execute, the doré bars are refined for
a fee and our share of the refined gold, silver and other metals are credited to
our account or delivered to our buyers who will then use the refined metals for
fabrication or held for investment purposes.
General
Market
The general
market for gold has two principal categories, being fabrication and investment.
Fabricated gold has a variety of end uses, including jewelry, electronics,
dentistry, industrial and decorative uses, medals, medallions and official
coins. Gold investors buy gold bullion, official coins and jewelry. The supply
of gold consists of a combination of current production from mining and the
draw-down of existing stocks of gold held by governments, financial
institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals.
Patents,
trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor
contracts, including duration;
We do not have any designs or equipment
which are copyrighted, trademarked or patented.
Effect
of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business
Government
Regulation
Mining operations and exploration
activities are subject to various national, state, provincial and local laws and
regulations in the United States, which govern prospecting, development,
mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste
disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and
other matters. We have obtained or have pending applications for those licenses,
permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct our exploration
and other programs. We believe that Mexus Gold US is in compliance in all
material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental
statutes and the regulations passed thereunder in the Nevada and
United States and in any other jurisdiction in which we will operate. We
are not aware of any current orders or directions relating to Mexus Gold US with
respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
Environmental
Regulation
Our gold projects are subject to
various federal and state laws and regulations governing protection of the
environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming
more restrictive. It is our policy to conduct business in a way that safeguards
public health and the environment. We believe that the actions and operations of
Mexus Gold US will be conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. Changes to current state or federal laws and regulations
in Nevada, where we operate currently, or in jurisdictions where we may operate
in the future, could require additional capital expenditures and increased
operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what
additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional
regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.
Research
and Development
We do not foresee any immediate future
research and development costs.
Costs
and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Our gold
projects are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing
protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in
general, are becoming more restrictive. It is our policy to conduct business in
a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our
operations are and will be conducted in material compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. The economics of our current projects consider the costs and
expenses associated with our compliance policy.
Changes
to current state or federal laws and regulations in Nevada, where we operate
currently, or in jurisdictions where we may operate in the future, could require
additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation
costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any,
might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact
the economics of our projects.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the
following risk factors and the other information in this registration statement
before investing in our common stock. Our business and results of
operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks.
Risks
Relating to Our Company
We
are at an early stage of production and have minimal operating history as an
independent company. Our future revenues and profits are uncertain.
We are a
development stage venture with minimal operating history as an independent
company. There is no certainty that we will consistently produce revenue or
consistently operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.
If we are unable to consistently generate revenues or profits, investors might
not be able to realize returns on their investment in our common stock or keep
from losing their investment.
The
estimation of the ultimate recovery of gold and silver is subject to variation,
subjective, and requires the use of various techniques. Actual recoveries can be
expected to vary from estimations.
We
estimate the ultimate recover of gold and silver from our
projects. The actual amount recovered are not determined until a
third-party smelter determines final ounces of gold and silver available for
sale. We then review this end result and reconcile it to the estimates we
developed and used throughout the production process. Based on this review, we
adjust our estimation procedures when appropriate. Due to the complexity of the
estimation process and the number of steps involved, among other things, actual
recoveries can vary from estimates, and the amount of the variation could be
significant and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition
and results of operations.
Each of
these factors also applies to future development properties not yet in
production. In the case of mines we may develop in the future, we will not have
the benefit of actual experience in our estimates with respect to those mines,
and there is a greater likelihood that the actual results will vary from the
estimates. In addition, development and expansion projects are subject to
unexpected construction and start-up problems and delays.
Reserve
calculations are estimates only, subject to uncertainty due to factors including
metal prices, inherent variability of the ore and recoverability of metal in the
mining process.
Reserve
estimates may not be accurate. There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to
the calculation of reserves and corresponding grades dedicated to future
production. Until reserves are actually mined and processed, the quantity of ore
and grades must be considered as an estimate only. In addition, the quantity of
reserves and ore may vary depending on metal prices. Any material change in the
quantity of reserves, mineralization, grade or stripping ratio may affect the
economic viability of our properties. In addition, there can be no assurance
that gold recoveries or other metal recoveries in small-scale laboratory tests
will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during
production.
Our
operations are subject to numerous governmental permits which are difficult to
obtain and we may not be able to obtain or renew all of the permits we require,
or such permits may not be timely obtained or renewed.
In the
ordinary course of business we are required to obtain and renew governmental
permits for our operations. Obtaining or renewing the necessary governmental
permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving costly
undertakings. The duration and success of our efforts to obtain and
renew permits are contingent upon many variables not within our control
including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the
permitting authority. We may not be able to obtain or renew permits that are
necessary to our operations, or the cost to obtain or renew permits may exceed
our estimates. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and health and
safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension or
revocation or permits and other penalties. There can be no assurance that we
have been or will at all times be in full compliance with all such laws and
regulations and with our environmental and health and safety permits or that we
have all required permits. The costs and delays associated with compliance with
these laws, regulations and permits and with the permitting process could stop
us from proceeding with the operation or development of our projects
or or increase the costs of development or production and may materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial
condition.
We may not achieve our production
estimates.
We
prepare estimates of future production for our operations. We develop our
estimates based on, among other things, mining experience, reserve estimates,
assumptions regarding ground conditions and physical characteristics of ores
(such as hardness and presence or absence of certain metallurgical
characteristics) and estimated rates and costs of mining and processing. Our
actual production may be lower than our production estimates.
Each of
these factors also applies to future development properties not yet in
production and to our current projects. In the case of mines we
may develop in the future, we do not have the benefit of actual experience in
our estimates, and there is a greater likelihood that the actual results will
vary from the estimates. In addition, development and expansion projects are
subject to unexpected construction and start-up problems and
delays.
We
cannot be certain that our acquisition, exploration and evaluation activities
will be commercially successful.
There
will be substantial expenditures required to acquire existing gold properties,
to establish ore reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop
metallurgical processes to extract metal from the ore and, in the case of new
properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure
at any site chosen for mining. We cannot provide assurance that any gold
reserves or mineralized material acquired or discovered will be in sufficient
quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for
development can be obtained on a timely basis. Factors including costs, actual
mineralization, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices
affect successful project development. The efficient operation of processing
facilities, the existence of competent operational management and prudent
financial administration, as well as the availability and reliability of
appropriately skilled and experienced consultants can affect successful project
development which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our future
results of operations.
The
price of gold is subject to fluctuations, which could adversely affect the
realizable value of our assets and potential future results of operations and
cash flow.
Our
principal assets are gold reserves and mineralized material. We intend to
attempt to acquire additional properties containing gold reserves and
mineralized material. The price that we pay to acquire these properties will be,
in large part, influenced by the price of gold at the time of the acquisition.
Our potential future revenues are expected to be, in large part, derived from
the mining and sale of gold from these properties or from the outright sale or
joint venture of some of these properties. The value of these gold reserves and
mineralized material, and the value of any potential gold production therefrom,
will vary in proportion to variations in gold prices. The price of gold has
fluctuated widely, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control,
including, but not limited to, international, economic and political trends,
expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, central bank
activities, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, world
supply of gold and speculative activities. The effect of these factors on the
price of gold, and therefore the economic viability of any of our projects,
cannot accurately be predicted. Any drop in the price of gold would adversely
affect our asset values, cash flows, potential revenues and
profits.
Mining,
exploration, development and operating activities are inherently hazardous, and
if we incur material leases or liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage,
our financial position could be materially and adversely affected.
Mineral
exploration, development, and operating a mine involves many risks that even a
combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to
overcome. Operations in which we have direct or indirect interests will be
subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration,
development and production of gold and other metals, any of which could result
in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The
nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed any liability
insurance policy limits. It is also possible that the liabilities and hazards
might not be insurable, or, that we could elect not to insure against such
liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event, we could
incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition.
We
may be unable to raise additional capital on favorable terms.
The costs
and expenses to evaluate our exploration properties will require significant
capital investment to achieve commercial production. We may have to raise
additional funds from external sources in order to maintain and advance our
existing property positions and to acquire new gold projects. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available at all or on acceptable
terms and, if additional financing is not available to us, we may have to
substantially reduce or cease operations.
We
face intense competition in the mining industry.
The
mining industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. As a result of
this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with
substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than
ours, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive mining claims or
financing on terms we consider acceptable. This, in turn, may adversely affect
our financial condition and our future results of operations. We also compete
with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified
managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully attract and
retain qualified employees, our exploration and development programs may be
slowed down or suspended. In addition, we compete with other gold companies for
capital. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, our exploration and
development programs may be jeopardized or we may not be able to acquire,
develop or operate gold projects.
We
may depend on outside sources to place our mineral deposit properties into
production.
Our
ability to place our properties into production may be dependent upon using the
services of appropriately experienced personnel or contractors and purchasing
additional equipment, or entering into agreements with other major resource
companies that can provide such expertise or equipment. There can be no
assurance that we will have available to us the necessary expertise or equipment
when and if we place our mineral deposit properties into production. If we are
unable to successfully retain such expertise and equipment, our development and
growth could be significantly curtailed.
Our
exploration and development operations are subject to environmental regulations,
which could result in the incurrence of additional costs and operational
delays.
All
phases of our operations are subject to environmental regulation. Environmental
legislation is evolving in some jurisdictions in a manner which will require
stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for
non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects
and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers,
directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in
environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our projects. We
will be subject to environmental regulations with respect to our properties in
Nevada, under applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
Our
properties in Nevada occupy private and public lands. The public lands include
unpatented mining claims on lands administered by the BLM Nevada State Office.
These claims are governed by the laws and regulations of the U.S. federal
government and the state of Nevada.
U.S. Federal
Laws
Under the
U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, mining companies may incur costs
for generating, transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous
waste, as well as for closure and post-closure maintenance once they have
completed mining activities on a property. We currently do not have any mining
operations, however, if we institute such operations, we may produce air
emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants, from stationary
equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources such as trucks and
heavy construction equipment which are subject to review, monitoring and/or
control requirements under the Federal Clean Air Act and state air quality laws.
Permitting rules may impose limitations on our production levels or create
additional capital expenditures in order to comply with the rules.
The U.S.
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended (CERCLA) imposes strict joint and several liability on parties
associated with releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances. The
groups who could be found liable include, among others, the current owners and
operators of facilities which release hazardous substances into the environment
and past owners and operators of properties who owned such properties at the
time the disposal of the hazardous substances occurred. This liability could
include the cost of removal or remediation of the release and damages for injury
to the surrounding property. We cannot predict the potential for future CERCLA
liability with respect to our properties.
Nevada
Laws
At the
state level, mining operations in Nevada are also regulated by the Nevada
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental
Protection. Should we elect to place a property into production, Nevada state
law requires the operator of the property to hold Nevada Water Pollution Control
Permits, which dictate operating controls and closure and post-closure
requirements directed at protecting surface and ground water. In addition, we
would be required to hold Nevada Reclamation Permits required under NRS 519A.010
through 519A.170. These permits mandate concurrent and post-mining reclamation
of mines and require the posting of reclamation bonds sufficient to guarantee
the cost of mine reclamation. Other Nevada regulations govern operating and
design standards for the construction and operation of any source of air
contamination and landfill operations. Any changes to these laws and regulations
could have an adverse impact on our financial performance and results of
operations by, for example, required changes to operating constraints, technical
criteria, fees or surety requirements.
Legislation
has been proposed that would significantly affect the mining
industry.
Members
of the U.S. Congress have repeatedly introduced bills which would supplant or
alter the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872. If enacted, such legislation
could change the cost of holding unpatented mining claims and could
significantly impact our ability to develop mineralized material on unpatented
mining claims. Such bills have proposed, among other things, to either eliminate
or greatly limit the right to a mineral patent and to impose a federal royalty
on production from unpatented mining claims. Although it is impossible to
predict at this point what any legislated royalties might be, enactment could
adversely affect the potential for development of such mining claims and the
economics of existing operating mines on federal unpatented mining claims.
Passage of such legislation could adversely affect our financial
performance.
Increased
costs could affect our financial condition.
We
anticipate that costs associated properties that we may explore or develop, will
frequently be subject to variation from one year to the next due to a number of
factors, such as changing ore grade, metallurgy and revisions to mine plans in
response to the physical shape and location of the ore body. In addition, costs
are affected by the price of commodities such as fuel and electricity. Such
commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including
increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A
material increase in costs at any significant location could have a significant
effect on our profitability.
The
global financial crisis may have impacts on our business and financial condition
that we currently cannot predict.
The
continued credit crisis and related instability in the global financial system
has had, and may continue to have, an impact on our business and our financial
condition. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the financial
markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets may be
severely restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to access such
markets, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing
economic and business conditions. The credit crisis could have an impact on any
potential lenders or on our customers, causing them to fail to meet their
obligations to us should any such obligations exist.
Difficult
conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may
materially adversely affect our business and results of operations and we do not
expect these conditions to improve in the near future.
Our
results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the domestic
capital markets and the economy generally. The stress experienced by domestic
capital markets that began in the second half of 2007 has continued and
substantially increased in both 2008 and 2009. Recently, concerns over
inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of
credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the U.S.
have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the
economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil
and gas prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased
unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and fears of a possible
recession. In addition, the fixed-income markets are experiencing a period of
extreme volatility which has negatively impacted market liquidity
conditions.
Initially,
the concerns on the part of market participants were focused on the subprime
segment of the mortgage-backed securities market. However, these concerns have
since expanded to include a broad range of mortgage-and asset-backed and other
fixed income securities, including those rated investment grade, the U.S. and
international credit and interbank money markets generally, and a wide range of
financial institutions and markets, asset classes and sectors. As a result,
capital markets have experienced decreased liquidity, increased price
volatility, credit downgrade events, and increased probabilities of default.
These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on
us because our liquidity and ability to fund our capital expenditures is
dependent in part upon our bank borrowings and access to the public capital
markets. Even in the absence of a market downturn, we are exposed to substantial
risk of loss due to market volatility.
Factors
such as business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of
the capital markets, and inflation all affect the business and economic
environment and, ultimately, our ability to identify and place a commercial
grade property into production. In an economic downturn characterized by higher
unemployment, lower corporate earnings and lower business investment, our
operations could be negatively impacted.
There
can be no assurance that actions of the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and
other governmental and regulatory bodies for the purpose of stabilizing the
financial markets will achieve the intended effect.
In
response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial
markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial
institutions, the Federal Government has enacted measures for the purpose of
stabilizing the financial markets. The Federal Government, Federal Reserve and
other governmental and regulatory bodies have taken or are considering taking
other actions to address the financial crisis. There can be no assurance as to
what impact such actions will have on the financial markets, including the
extreme levels of volatility recently experienced. Continued volatility could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations, or the trading price of our common stock.
A
shortage of equipment and supplies could adversely affect our ability to operate
our business.
We are
dependent on various supplies and equipment to carry out our mining exploration
and development operations. The shortage of such supplies, equipment and parts
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry out our operations
and therefore limit or increase the cost of production.
If
we are unable to attract and retain additional personnel, we may be unable to
establish and develop our business.
Our
development in the future will be highly dependent on the efforts of our officer
and director, Paul Thompson and key employees that we hire in the future. We
will need to recruit and retain qualified managerial and technical employees to
build and maintain our operations. If we are unable to successfully recruit and
retain such persons, our development and growth could be significantly
curtailed.
Our
lack of operating experience may cause us difficulty in managing our
growth.
Our
operations were changed from the apparel business to mining operations during
the year ended March 31, 2010. We are establishing operating procedures for
evaluating, acquiring and developing properties, and negotiating, establishing
and maintaining strategic relationships. Our ability to manage our growth, if
any, will require us to improve and expand our management and our operational
and financial systems and controls. If our management is unable to manage growth
effectively, our business and financial condition would be materially harmed. In
addition, if rapid growth occurs, it may strain our operational, managerial and
financial resources.
There
are uncertainties as to title matters in the mining industry. Any defects in
such title could cause us to lose our rights in mineral properties and
jeopardize our business operations.
Our U.S.
mineral properties consist of private mineral rights, leases covering state and
private lands, leases of patented mining claims, and unpatented mining claims.
Many of our mining properties in the U.S. are unpatented mining claims to which
we have only possessory title. Because title to unpatented mining claims is
subject to inherent uncertainties, it is difficult to determine conclusively
ownership of such claims. These uncertainties relate to such things as
sufficiency of mineral discovery, proper posting and marking of boundaries and
possible conflicts with other claims not determinable from descriptions of
record. Since a substantial portion of all mineral exploration, development and
mining in the U.S. now occurs on unpatented mining claims, this uncertainty is
inherent in the mining industry.
The
present status of our unpatented mining claims located on public lands allows us
the exclusive right to mine and remove valuable minerals, such as precious and
base metals. We also are allowed to use the surface of the land solely for
purposes related to mining and processing the mineral-bearing ores. However,
legal ownership of the land remains with the U.S. We remain at risk that the
mining claims may be forfeited either to the U.S. or to rival private claimants
due to failure to comply with statutory requirements.
There may
be challenges to title to the mineral properties in which we hold a material
interest. If there are title defects with respect to any properties, we might be
required to compensate other persons or perhaps reduce our interest in the
affected property. Also, in any such case, the investigation and resolution of
title issues would divert our management’s time from ongoing exploration and
development programs.
Our
principal stockholders will be able to exert significant influence over matters
submitted to stockholders for approval, which could delay or prevent a change in
corporate control or result in the entrenchment of management or the board of
directors, possibly conflicting with the interests of our other
stockholders.
Paul
Thompson, Sr. owns approximately 61% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Mexus Gold US. In addition to being a major stockholder, Mr. Thompson is a
director of Mexus Gold US. Because of Mr. Thompson’s major shareholding and
Mr. Thompson’s position on the Mexus Gold US Board of Directors, Mr.
Thompson could exert significant influence in determining the outcome of
corporate actions requiring stockholder approval and otherwise control our
business. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of us or entrenching our management or the board of directors, which
could conflict with the interests of our other stockholders and, consequently,
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
|
Our
common stock has limited trading history and the market price of our shares may
fluctuate widely.
Our
common stock only recently began trading and there can be no assurance that an
active trading market for Mexus Gold US common stock can be established or
sustained in the future. We cannot predict the prices at which Mexus Gold US
common stock may trade. The market price of the common stock may fluctuate
widely, depending upon many factors, some of which may be beyond the control of
Mexus Gold US including, but not limited to, fluctuations in the price of gold;
announcements by us or competitors of significant acquisitions or dispositions;
and overall market fluctuations and general economic conditions. Stock markets
in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the
operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations
may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Investors
may be unable to accurately value our common stock.
Investors
often value companies based on the stock prices and results of operations of
other comparable companies. Currently, we do not believe another public gold
exploration company exists that is directly comparable to our size and scale.
Prospective investors have limited historical information about certain of the
properties held by Mexus Gold US upon which to base an evaluation of the
performance of Mexus Gold US and the prospects held by Mexus Gold US. As such,
investors may find it difficult to accurately value our common
stock.
We
do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have
never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain
all of our earnings for the foreseeable future to finance the operation and
expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in
the future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our
common stock if the market price of our common stock increases. Our Board of
Directors retains the discretion to change this policy.
Issuing preferred stock with
rights senior to those of our common stock could adversely affect holders of
common stock.
Our charter documents give our board of
directors the authority to issue series of preferred stock without a vote or
action by our stockholders. The board also has the authority to
determine the terms of preferred stock, including price, preferences and voting
rights. The rights granted to holders of preferred stock may
adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock. For
example, a series of preferred stock may be granted the right to receive a
liquidation preference – a pre-set distribution in the event of a liquidation –
that would reduce the amount available for distribution to holders of common
stock. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could make it
more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting
stock. As a result, common stockholders could be prevented from
participating in transactions that would offer an optimal price for their
shares.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Our policy is to use the accrual method
of accounting to prepare and present financial statements, which conform to
generally accepted accounting principles. The company has elected a March 31,
year-end.
We consider all highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, to be cash
equivalents.
Inventories are valued at the lower of
average cost (which approximates computation on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market (net realizable value or replacement cost).
Revenue is recognized at the time of
sale.
We account for income taxes under the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109
requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse.
Results
of Operations
For the year ended March 31, 2010, we
had revenues of $10,043 compared to $22,065 for the year ended March 31,
2009. We attribute this decrease in sales to the change of business
direction on September 30, 2009 to pursue opportunities in the mining
industry.
For the year ended March 31, 2010, we
had total operating expenses of $143,806 and an operating loss of $128,748
compared to total operating expenses of $43,039 and an operating loss of $20,974
for the year ended March 31, 2009. The substantial increase in
operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2010, is attributable to
our efforts to close our retail apparel sales operations and establish our
presence within the mining industry.
Our investment in equipment increased
from a balance $-0- on March 31, 2009 to $88,168 at March 31, 2010 as a result
of acquiring equipment which is capable of being utilized for exploration
purposes and/or production applications.
We have idle equipment of $66,537 at
March 31, 2010, which we are in the process of fabricating and
modifying to perform bulk sampling projects on our exploration
properties or will have the capacity of being placed into a production process
pending a determination by management as to the most beneficial application of
the equipment.
We do not expect to have any revenues
until we begin mining operations which we anticipate will begin within the next
nine months. We believe that we have sufficient available cash and
available loans from our sole officer and director to satisfy our working
capital and capital expenditure requirements during the next 12 months.
There can be no assurance, however, that cash and cash from loans will be
sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for the next
12 months or beyond.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2010, we had cash of
$1,022 compared to $3,478 at March 31, 2009.
Our fixed assets increased from zero
($0) from the year ended March 31, 2009, to $88,168 for the year ended March 31,
2010, due to our acquisition of mining equipment.
As at March 31, 2010, our inventory
decreased to zero ($0) as a result of discontinuing our apparel sales
operations.
Our current liabilities decreased
significantly from $522,900 as of March 31, 2009, to $180,539, at March 3,1
2010, primarily due to forgiveness of debt by a related
party. $39,075 of our current liabilities are contributable to
deferred gain on equipment sales.
Future
Goals
During
this quarter, we have met our goals and acquired mining properties and minting
equipment. We are currently in the process of transporting equipment
and setting up mining operations in Mexico. We have also begun the
process of obtaining the necessary permits to begin our cable salvage
operations. In the next 12 months, our goal is to begin mining
operations in Mexico and to obtain the necessary permits to begin our cable
salvage operations. We intend to initially focus our mining efforts
in the State of Sonora Mexico.

9A. Controls and Procedures.
In
accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the
end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-K, our management evaluated,
with the participation of our principal executive and financial officer, the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those controls
and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or
submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the
reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated
to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on
their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our chairman of
the board and chief executive and financial officer has concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Item
9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial
reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's
internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management
and directors of the Company; 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
Company's financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation. 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.
Management
assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting at March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control--Integrated Framework. Based on
that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, at March
31, 2010, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the
Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual
report.
Inherent
Limitations of Internal Controls
Our
internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Our 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 our
assets;
|
|
●
|
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and
|
|
●
|
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could
have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Our
management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all
errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of
controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls
may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management
has not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting
in connection with the its evaluation of our most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Item
9B. Other Information.
On July 8, 2010, we entered into a
Project Management Agreement with Powercom Services, Inc. a Georgia corporation
to provide the necessary capital so the Company can proceed with the first phase
of its Cable Recovery in Alaskan waters.
Mexus President/CEO Paul Thompson along
with Ken Setter the person in charge of the Alaska sub-marine cable project for
Mexus just returned from a two week trip to Alaska to verify the cable locations
in Alaska waters culminating in the execution of the contract which will fund
Mexus through its first barge load sale of cable.
Mr. Ken Setter directed Mr. Thompson to
several sites along the Pacific Coast of Alaska where we were able to identify
the sub-marine cable. We were able to retrieve several sections for sampling
purposes, and to test the Company’s new innovative way of retrieving cable from
the bottom of the ocean. We believe the new cable pulling equipment will have
the capability of pulling up to 10 miles per day or 475,200 pounds of cable per
day.
The cable is composed of copper, lead,
and steel all salvageable for scrap sales or processing for end user. Mexus is
now ready to start equipping its 260’ barge located in Seattle, Washington with
pulling equipment for the trip to Alaska where it will be able to start pulling
cable at a point identified & marked by Messrs. Setters and Thompson on
their recent trip.
The Company’s objective is to be
pulling cable by mid August and begin delivery prior to the end of
September.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors
Mexus
Gold US
I have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Mexus Gold US as of March 31, 2010,
and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my
audits.
I
conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for
my opinion.
In my
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of , Inc. as of March 31, 2010, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $641,028 at
March 31, 2010. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to
these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Director and Shareholders
Mexus
Gold US (formerly Action Fashions, Ltd.):
We have
audited the balance sheet of Mexus Gold US (formerly Action Fashions, Ltd.) as
of March 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended March 31,
2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit 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 Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit 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 audit provides 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 Mexus gold US (formerly Action
Fashions, Ltd.) as of March 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has a limited operating history, limited funds, and a
working capital deficit, which raises a substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTE
1. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying interim financial statements of Mexus Gold US (the “Company”) have
been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and notes herein are unaudited, but in
the opinion of management, include all the adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods
presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC.
Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results
for any future interim period or for the full year.
NOTE
2. GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying
financial statements, the Company has a limited operating history and limited
funds. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company
will be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company is dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plans to raise
necessary funds via a private placement of its common stock to satisfy the
capital requirements of the Company’s business plan. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise necessary funds, or that if it
is successful in raising the necessary funds, that the Company will successfully
operate its business plan.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our
continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our
obligations on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attain
profitability.
