ROCKFORD MINERALS, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF APRIL 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1
|
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
|
(A) Basis of Presentation
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
|
|
It is management's opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
|
|
Rockford Minerals, Inc. (an exploration stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 29, 2007. The Company is a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Activities during the exploration stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.
|
(B) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash includes deposits at foreign financial institutions which are not covered by FDIC. As of April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the Company held $1,263 and $17,137, respectively, of US funds in a Canadian bank.

ROCKFORD MINERALS, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF APRIL 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
(D) Property and Equipment, Mining Properties (Exploration and Development Costs)
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold, silver, lead and copper deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain.
Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the determination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.
(E) Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260, Earnings Per Share. As of April 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
(F) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF APRIL 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
(G) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(H) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable and stockholder loans approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
NOTE 2
|
GOING CONCERN
|
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with minimal operations, has a net loss of $116,281 since inception and has used cash from operations of $65,852 from inception. In addition, there is a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $26,124 as of April 30, 2011. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3

We do not anticipate going into production ourselves but instead anticipate optioning or selling any ore bodies that we may discover to a major mining company. Most major mining companies obtain their ore reserves through the purchase of ore bodies found by junior exploration companies such as the Company. Although these major mining companies do some exploration work themselves, many of them rely on the junior resource exploration companies to provide them with future deposits for them to mine. By optioning or selling a deposit found by us to these major mining companies, it would provide an immediate return to our shareholders without the long time frame and cost of putting a mine into operation ourselves, and it would also provide future capital for the Company to continue operations.

The search for valuable natural resources as a business is extremely risky. We can provide no assurance that the properties we have contain commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for natural resource reserves is a speculative venture involving substantial risks. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing commercially feasible reserves. Problems such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan and any money spent on exploration would be lost.
Natural resource exploration and development requires significant capital and our assets and resources are very limited. Therefore, we anticipate participating in the natural resource industry through the purchase or option of early stage properties. To date, we own one mining property which is located in southwest Nevada.
Rockford Lode Claim
The Company owns the Rockford Lode Claim which was filed in Clark County, Nevada recorder’s office in Las Vegas on June 19, 2008, as Instrument 20080619- 0000221, File 081, Page 0074, in the official records book, T20080120393.
The Rockford Lode Claim is located within Township 27S, Range 60E, Section 31, and adjoining Township 28S, Range 60E, Section 6, in the Sunset Mining District of Clark County, Nevada, and is a Lode claim, unpatented mining claim.
Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Rockford Lode Claim is southeastward to Boulder City, then southward via Highway 95 to Searchlight, then westward via Highway 164 to Crescent from where a sub-standard road is taken northward to the Rockford Lode Claim. The entire distance from Las Vegas to the Rockford Lode Claim is approximately 84 miles.
The Sunset Mining District was established in 1867 within an area comprised of a group of hills (the Lucy Grey Range) of relatively low relief about 16 miles south of Jean, Nevada in the extreme southern part of Township 27S, Range 60E. The Sunset Mining District is south of the Goodsprings Mining District, which ranks second only to Tonopah in total lead and zinc production in the State of Nevada. The Lucy Grey mine began operations in 1905. Total production from the Lucy Grey mine is estimated (Vanderburg, 1937, p.80) at $50,000, principally in gold with lesser amounts of silver, lead, and copper.
There is no recorded production from the ground covered by the Rockford Lode Claim; however, inclusive prospect pits indicate the existence of mineralized zones.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended April 30, 2011 compared to the Three Months ended April 30, 2010
Mining Development Rights. During the three month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company did not incur any costs to develop its mineral rights.
Professional Fees. During the three months period ended April 30, 2011, the Company incurred $18,412 in professional fees compared to $195 for the three month period ended April 30, 2010, an increase of 18,412%. Professional fees were paid primarily to the attorneys and accountants of the Company for legal compliance and SEC public company registration and reporting requirements.
General and Administrative Expenses. During the three month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company incurred $2,457 of general and administrative expenses compared to $2,081 during the three month period ended April 30, 2010, an increase of 18% in general administrative expenses.

Revenues. We have not earned any revenues since our incorporation on October 29, 2007, through April 30, 2011. We do not anticipate producing revenues unless we enter into commercial production on our Rockford Lode mining claim, which is doubtful. We can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the Rockford Lode claim, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
Six Months Ended April 30, 2011, compared to the Six Months Ended April 30, 2010

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our cash requirements from cash generated from the sale of common stock and advances from related parties.
Since inception through to and including April 30, 2011, we have raised $ 66,000 through private placements of our common stock.
There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue the plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of our mineral claims and our venture will fail.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, or obligations that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect in our condensed results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Going Concern
The Company does not have sufficient capital to continue as a going concern. The Company presently expects to continue its operations with loans from its officers and through the offer and sale of its common stock in private placements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011. This evaluation was conducted by Gregory J. Neely, our Secretary, Treasurer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.
Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but no absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.
16
Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Conclusion
Based upon his evaluation of our controls, our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer has concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the disclosure controls are effective providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to us is made known to management on a timely basis during the period when our reports are being prepared. There were no changes in our internal controls and internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.
