KAT GOLD HOLDINGS CORP. |
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 |
|
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity
Kat Gold Holdings Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2007. Following its acquisition of Handcamp on June 4, 2010, a gold property located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (Handcamp), the Company changed its business model to that of a mineral acquisition, exploration and development company focused primarily on gold properties. On August 26, 2010, the Companys name was changed from Bella Viaggio, Inc. to Kat Gold Holdings Corp. As of this annual report, the Company has not generated any revenues but has incurred expenses related to the drilling and exploration of Handcamp. The Company has commenced exploratory drilling operations on the Handcamp property and sent core samples obtained for analysis. The Company is currently awaiting the results of these core samples.
The Company has not yet earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the Companys activities have been accounted for as those of a Development Stage Enterprise as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ASC 915 (FASB ASC 915). Among the disclosures required by FASB ASC 915 are that the Companys financial statements be identified as those of a development stage operation, and that the statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Companys inception.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the mining industry, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological mining innovations and dependence on key personnel.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 |
|
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company does not incur any direct-response advertising costs.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Companys policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of March 31, 2013, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Fair Value of Financial Statements
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and security deposits. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially expand its financial statement note disclosures.
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing ASU 2011-05 to ascertain its impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 |

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which allows, but does not require, an entity when performing its annual goodwill impairment test the option to first do an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount for purposes of determining whether it is even necessary to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, based on the option created in ASU 2011-08, the calculation of a reporting units fair value is not required unless, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is less, the quantitative impairment test is then required. ASU 2011-08 also provides for new qualitative indicators to replace those currently used. Prior to ASU 2011-08, entities were required to test goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis, by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not impact the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such; the Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The guidance allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test.
ASU 2012-02 allows companies the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, before determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Companies can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets or choose to only perform the quantitative impairment test for any indefinite-lived intangible in any period.
ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the guidance and the impact ASU 2012-02 will have on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN AND UNCERTAINTY
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception. In addition, the Company has yet to generate an internal cash flow from its business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) to raise financing to enable it to continue its locate, explore and develop mineral properties as well as to generate working capital, and 2) to sell mineral properties that it has located, explored and developed by attempting to enter into joint ventures with, or to sell interests in any property it manages to develop to, a major mining company. The Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve its lack of liquidity and begin generating profits in its current business operations. However, the outcome of managements plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
NOTE 4 DEVELOPMENT STAGE RISK
Since its inception, the Company has been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment to fund its continuing activities. In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Companys business plan will be successfully executed. The Companys ability to execute its business plan will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained. Further, the Company cannot give any assurance that it will generate substantial revenues or that its business operations will prove to be profitable.
NOTE 5 MATERIAL EVENT (PURCHASE OF EKOM MINE PROPERTY) AND EMPLOYMENT COMMITMENTS
On April 18, 2012, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Global Gold Incorporated, a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (Global Gold), and the shareholders of Global Gold (the Sellers), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Global Gold. The consideration (the Purchase Price) paid by the Company to the Sellers was an aggregate of one hundred sixty-one million (161,000,000) shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock), of which one hundred eighteen million two hundred sixty-three thousand one hundred fifty-eight (118,263,158) shares of Common Stock payable to Thomas Brookes (Brookes) and Matthew Sullivan (Sullivan) were placed in escrow and will be released in accordance with the terms of an Escrow Agreement, described below. The Purchase Agreement also provides that Brookes and Sullivan will be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company, and that each of Kenneth Stead, Timothy Stead, Brookes and Sullivan will vote their shares of stock of the Company in favor of each other as directors so long as the parties maintain an ownership interest of at least five percent (5%) of the Companys outstanding common stock and until the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months from the date of the closing of the Global Gold transaction if the Company has not received revenues of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from the production of the Ekom Eya mine in Ghana; or (ii) three (3) years from the date of the closing.
On April 18, 2012, the Company entered into an Escrow Agreement with Brookes, Sullivan and Gracin & Marlow, LLP, as escrow agent (the Escrow Agreement), pursuant to which the parties agreed that one hundred eighteen million two hundred sixty-three thousand one hundred fifty-eight (118,263,158) shares of Common Stock (the Escrowed Shares) will be released to Brookes and Sullivan if and when the Company has received revenues of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from the production of the Ekom Eya mine in Ghana (the Milestone); provided, however, that if the Milestone is not achieved by the date that is two (2) years from the date of the Escrow Agreement, the escrow agent will release to the Company for cancellation all of the Escrowed Shares, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and Brookes and Sullivan.

Overview
Kat Gold Holdings Inc. is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2007. On April 28, 2010, Kenneth Stead, our president and chief executive officer, acquired 2,043,333 shares of common stock of our company, par value $0.001 per share, from Ronald A. Davis and Ronald G. Brigham for an aggregate purchase price of $275,272. Simultaneously therewith, Mr. Stead purchased an additional 220,667 shares of our common stock from eleven other former shareholders of our company. Consequently, Mr. Stead paid an aggregate purchase price of $305,000 for the 2,264,000 shares of our common stock, which constituted approximately 85.6% of all shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. The foregoing share acquisition resulted in a change in control of our company.
On June 4, 2010, pursuant to a purchase agreement between our company and our parent company Kat Exploration, Inc., a company organized under the laws of Nevada, we acquired 100% of the mineral rights that KATX then held in and to Handcamp, a gold property (Handcamp) located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada from our parent company in exchange for 161,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Following our acquisition of Handcamp, we changed our business model to that of a mineral acquisition, exploration and development company focused primarily on gold properties. On August 26, 2010 our name was changed to Kat Gold Holdings Corp. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not generated any revenues but we have incurred expenses related to the drilling and exploration of Handcamp.
- 13 -
On November 25, 2011, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement between our company and our parent company Kat Exploration, Inc., we acquired 100% of the mineral rights that KATX then held in and to Rusty Ridge, Colliers and South Lucky (each a November Property and collectively, the November Properties) located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada from our parent company in exchange for 135,000,000 shares of our common stock. We sometimes refer to Handcamp and the November Properties collectively as the Properties. On March 4th, 2013 the share distribution took place for shareholders of the record date of December 21st, 2011.
On April 18, 2012, we executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Global Gold Incorporated, a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (Global Gold), and the shareholders of Global Gold (the Sellers), pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Global Gold. The consideration that we paid (the Purchase Price) to the Sellers was an aggregate of one hundred sixty-one million (161,000,000) shares of our common stock, of which one hundred eighteen million, two hundred sixty-three thousand, one hundred fifty-eight (118,263,158) such shares payable to Thomas Brookes and Matthew Sullivan, the principals of Global Gold, were placed in escrow and will be released in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement.
On March19 2013, we announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with J. Kwarteng Mines Limited for the purpose of assessing and potentially mining the alluvial deposits at the J. Kwarteng Mines Ltd concession.
Gross proceeds from any mining operations will be split 85% in favour of Kat Gold Holdings and 15% J. Kwarteng Mines Limited. The concession is located west of the Atewa Range, in the Kibi District, Eastern Region, and is one of the oldest gold producing areas in Ghana.
Our shares of common stock are eligible for quotation on the OTC QB maintained by the OTC Markets. Despite the change of our name, our common stock remains quoted under the symbol BVIG. We have never declared bankruptcy, we have never been in receivership, and we have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since our inception, we have not, other than as described above and as more fully set forth under the heading Description of Business, made any significant purchases or sales of assets, nor have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. We have no subsidiaries other than Global Gold, Inc. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not generated any revenues but we have incurred expenses related to the drilling and exploration of Handcamp as well as our property in Ghana. We have no material income and/or assets other than Handcamp, Rusty Ridge, Colliers, South Lucky and Ekom Eya, and have cumulative losses from inception through March 31, 2012 of approximately $132,575,295. Kat Gold Holding would like to inform shareholders that the North Lucky claim is no longer a part of our portfolio. The claim has been dropped and returned to the Crown Lands department.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1149 Topsail Road, in the City of Mount Pearl, in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, A1N 5G2. Our telephone number is (709) 368-9223.
Plan of Operations
Our strategy is a combination of beginning production on the Ekom Eya Project, to eventually further develop Handcamp and the November Properties, and to stake, explore and develop new properties in geologically promising areas and to continue making acquisitions of select properties that have been identified as economically attractive, technically and geologically sound and have significant upside potential.
We intend to build our business by beginning production on Ekom Eya and to continue exploration and development of the other Properties. We may in the future seek to acquire, explore, stake and develop other gold properties and acquire producing gold properties. We plan to diversify our revenue sources, once any are established, by combining the secure and reliable revenue source of producing gold properties with the potential of gold exploration projects. In addition, we plan to explore and stake new gold properties, acquire development stage gold exploration properties, carry out exploration programs on the acquired properties, and develop any viable gold producing properties that we discover, acquire and are able to pursue, assuming that we are able to raise the requisite financing for such activities. We committed to examining all promising and viable properties that come to its attention with a particular interest in African and North American properties.
- 14 -
In order to begin work on the Ekom Eya site, we have several possible operational approaches each requiring varying capital and equipment costs. The primary approach will involve seeking to raise approximately $7,300,000 in financing (of which approximately $4,700,000 would be dedicated to equipment costs). This will allow high volume processing at Ekom Eya. Alternatively, we can begin work on a limited scale with as little as $250,000 in equipment. This approach will involve purchasing several excavators and trucks, and have the ore transported to a third party site for processing. It is anticipated that if $7,300,000 is raised, there will be sufficient capital for us to generate positive cash flow from the Ekom Eya operations. In the absence of raising funds in that amount, we will continue to do what preliminary work we can on Ekom Eya in anticipation of financing.
We operate with virtually no capital. We are presently attempting to raise sufficient funds to enter into production of the Ekom Eya Projects tailings and waste dump and fund further exploration. We cannot assure you that we will be able to put the Ekom Eya project into production or to further develop the other Properties.
We will assess the J. Kwarteng Mines Limited site for the purpose of potentially mining the alluvial deposits at the J. Kwarteng Mines Ltd concession.
Our ultimate objective is to implement production, sell any mineral properties that we have been able to develop to a major mining company, or to enter into joint ventures with it. We expect that such a company, should the opportunity arise, will in all likelihood make the decision whether to enter into a joint venture or to purchase a property in its discretion. We expect that the price of each property will be determined by the anticipated amount and value of minerals it contains. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to establish a relationship of any kind with a major mining company.
We believe that the stage at which the interest of a major mining company is likely to be elicited is very subjective and subject to numerous facts and circumstances that we cannot predict with any significant confidence. However, we do believe that such companies have in the past become interested in a mining property based solely on the discovery of one promising drill hole having, in the opinion of such mining company, significant potential to contain substantial economic value.
Irrespective of any interest shown by such a company, if any, we do not anticipate that our own activities with respect to Handcamp, Rusty Ridge, Colliers or South Lucky will extend beyond conducting a preliminary feasibility study, where such a study is defined as having (i) established that a particular mining project appears viable, and (ii) concluded that an effective method of mineral processing can be adopted and is reasonably likely, in the reasonable opinion of a qualified person, to lead to the determination that all or a part of the mineral resource can be classified as a mineral reserve.
We carried out Phase I on Handcamp, the initial phase of exploratory drilling, during the summer of 2010. We have had the core samples obtained thereby analyzed. Based upon that review, management is cautiously optimistic about the results and is currently in the process of determining our next steps. However, as discussed elsewhere herein, management presently plans to concentrate on the development of Ekom Eya.
Cash Requirements
We operate with virtually no capital. We are currently attempting to raise sufficient funds to begin processing of the Ekom Eyas tailings and waste dump and to fund further exploration. We estimate that we will require an additional $250,000 to continue our present development of Ekom Eya and approximately an additional $7,050,000 to begin production on the Ekom Eya site as well as for working capital. We are in discussions with prospective investors to provide funding in the amount of up to $7,300,000 but would also accept funding in the amount of $250,000 until such time as additional funds could be raised. We anticipate that the receipt of such funds would enable us to satisfy our cash requirements for a period of six (6) months, though if we only receive an amount of $250,000 we would not be able to commence production on the Ekom Eya site, though it would permit us to begin limited processing of the tailings on the site. While such limited processing would be likely to generate a certain amount of revenues, theoretically permitting us to reduce our aggregate cash requirements, we do not believe that full production could begin within a reasonable amount of time in the absence of our ability to raise the remaining approximately $7,050,000 that we are seeking.
We have no long term debt and have been able to meet our past financial obligations, including operational expenses, exploration expenses and acquisition costs, on a current basis. We did, however, owe a related party the sum of $103,777.00 as of March 31, 2013.
- 15 -
We cannot assure you that $7,300,000 would be sufficient to enable us to fully fund our anticipated cash requirements during this period. In addition, we cannot assure you that the requisite financing, whether over the short or long term, will be raised within the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds we may be required to curtail our operating plans if not cease them entirely. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.
None of the above figures refers to the financing that we would have to raise in order to contemplate further exploration and development of the Properties or making acquisitions of any other gold properties. While our business strategy includes acquiring additional gold properties, if possible, we have no present intention to acquire additional properties, in large part because we do not presently have the means to make any further acquisitions. We would have to raise additional financing over and above the sums discussed above in order to contemplate making acquisitions of any additional gold properties.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2013, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our proposed business.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations since our inception. In addition, we have yet to generate an internal cash flow from our business operations or successfully raised the financing required to develop our proposed business. As a result of these and other factors, our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.
Managements plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: (i) obtaining funding from new investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency, and (ii) implementing a plan to generate sales. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to resolve our liquidity problems and increase profitability in our current business operations. However, the outcome of managements plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a cash balance of $700 as of the date of March 31, 2013.
Cash flow from operations.
To date, we have generated no cash flow from operations.
Cash flows from shareholders.
Capital contributions provided by our parent company aggregated $885,630 as of March 31, 2013.
We will receive no further capital contributions from Kat Exploration in the future. Please see Cash Requirements above for our existing plans with respect to raising the capital we believe will be required.
In the event that we are able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with our business plan, we expect that our expenses will increase significantly as we attempt to grow our business. Accordingly, the above estimates for the financing required may not be accurate and must be considered in light these circumstances.
Variables and Trends
Other than the Ekom Eya Project and the current exploration of the Handcamp, Rusty Ridge, Colliers and South Lucky properties, we have no operating history with respect to our exploration, acquisition and development of gold properties. However, Kat Exploration and all of our officers and directors have significant mining exploration, acquisition and development experience.
- 16 -
Commitments
As of March 31, 2013, our only material capital commitment was the implementation of the Ekom Eya Project and the continued funding of the exploration of the Handcamp, Rusty Ridge, Colliers and South Lucky properties. Kat Gold Holdings has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with J. Kwarteng Mines Limited for the purpose of assessing and potentially mining the alluvial deposits at the J. Kwarteng Mines Ltd concession in Ghana. We anticipate that any further capital requirements will be financed principally through the issuance of our securities. However, we cannot assure you that additional capital resources and financings will be available to us on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. We have no commitments to any unrelated parties.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Business Activities. We have not yet earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, our activities have been accounted for as those of a Development Stage Enterprise as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7, Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises (SFAS No. 7). Among the disclosures required by SFAS No. 7 are that our financial statements be identified as those of a development stage operation, and that the statements of operations, shareholders equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of our inception.
Basis of Presentation. Our financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP, whereby revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses when incurred. We follow SFAS No. 7 in preparing our financial statements.
Managements Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss). We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to us during the period covered in the financial statements.
Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, including those noted above, we compare the assets carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives. If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the fair values of those assets are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values are recorded as impairments in that fiscal period.
Statement of Cash Flows. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the recorded amounts because of the liquidity and short-term nature of these items.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe that any future adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
Results of Operations
The three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20132, total revenues were $0 and $0, respectively; and net losses were $17,254, and $206,286 and respectively. The net losses were attributable to operating expenses and primarily to impairment charges. The losses for the 3 months ended March 31, 2013 were primarily due to charges in relation to the day to day operations of the company.
On April 18, 2012, we executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with Global Gold, and the shareholders of Global Gold, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Global Gold. The consideration that we paid Global Gold was an aggregate of 161,000,000 shares of our common stock. The 161,000,000 shares of our common stock were valued at $0.10 per share, the closing stock price on the date of the closing, resulting in recorded goodwill of $11,600,000. Our management, upon review, determined that such amount might not be fully recoverable due to future cash flows being an uncertainty and an adjustment to write down the property was recorded in the second quarter of 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired 100% of Handcamp, a gold property, from Kat Exploration in exchange for 161,000,000 shares of our common stock. We issued 65,000,000 shares of our common stock to Kat Exploration on June 4, 2010, and the remaining 96,000,000 shares of our common stock were issued to Kat Exploration on September 14, 2010. The shares of our common stock were valued at $0.70 per share, the closing stock price on the date of the closing, resulting in recorded goodwill of $112,700,000. Our management, upon review, determined that such amount might not be fully recoverable due to future cash flows being an uncertainty and an adjustment to write down the property was recorded.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Kat Exploration. We acquired 100% of the mineral rights that Kat Exploration then held in and to the mineral properties Rusty Ridge, Colliers, North Lucky and South Lucky in exchange for 135,000,000 shares of our common stock. The North Lucky is no longer a part of our portfolio. The claim has been dropped and returned to the Crown Lands department. Kat Gold Holdings wishes to inform shareholders that upon review, two claims in the Handcamp Properties portfolio have been retained (11745m and 17308m) and the balance returned to the the Crown Lands department.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired Global Gold Inc. and the rights to operate the Ekom Eya Project in Ghana. The shares of our common stock were valued at $0.10 per share, the closing stock price on the date of the closing, resulting in recorded goodwill of $16,100,000. Our management, upon review, determined that such amount might not be fully recoverable due to future cash flows being an uncertainty and an adjustment to write down the property was recorded.
On March19 2013, we announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with J. Kwarteng Mines Limited for the purpose of assessing and potentially mining the alluvial deposits at the J. Kwarteng Mines Ltd concession.
Gross proceeds from any mining operations will be split 85% in favour of Kat Gold Holdings and 15% J. Kwarteng Mines Limited. The concession is located west of the Atewa Range, in the Kibi District, Eastern Region, and is one of the oldest gold producing areas in Ghana.
As described in the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed on December 26, 2012, Kat Gold Holdings Corp. filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effectuate an increase in the Companys authorized number of shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000. Five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock with a par value of one tenth of one percent ($0.001) per share and no other class of stock was authorized as well.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
