DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Business Development


The Company is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover.


The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 9, 2007 as Atlantic Resources, Inc. On April 11, 2012, we filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the name of our company to Patriot Minefinders Inc., to be effected by way of a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary Patriot Minefinders Inc. which was created solely for the name change.


Effective April 19, 2012, in accordance with approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), we changed our name from Atlantic Resources Inc. to Patriot Minefinders Inc. In addition, we effected a forward split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 24 new for 1 old basis such that, our authorized capital increased from 70,000,000 to 1,680,000,000 shares of common stock and correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 4,700,000 to 112,800,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.  The name change and forward split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on April 19, 2012. Our new CUSIP number is 70338F102.  


Effective June 1, 2012, our stock symbol changed from AARI to PROF to better reflect the new name of our company.


The symbol change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on June 1, 2012 under the new stock symbol PROF.


On June 19, 2012 our board of directors approved the cancellation and the sale of a portion of 72,000,000 post-split shares held by a former director, officer and majority shareholder of the Company. Effective June 19, 2012, the shareholder cancelled and returned to treasury 52,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock and sold an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares to the directors of the Company at the price of $0.0014 per share. The shareholder currently holds the balance of 17,000,000 shares of our common stock. Following the cancellation, there were 61,800,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.


Previous Business


Mining Claims


On April 18th, 2007 the Company entered into a Mineral Property Staking and Purchase Agreement with 1698727 Ontario Inc. whereby we purchased a 100% interest in the Vic Vein mining claim, which is located approximately 250 kilometers west of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada, for $7,500.00. The Company no longer own any rights to the claim as it lapsed on October 6, 2010 and we no longer own any rights in relation to the property.


On February 28, 2012 the Company identified an opportunity with respect to the option to acquire a 50% interest in the La Buena Project from San Marco Resources Inc. (San Marco). On May 17, 2012, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Skanderbeg Partners Inc. (Skanderbeg) to acquire an option to purchase the La Buena Project.  The Company was unable to meet the terms of the option agreement and it was terminated during the year.




1


The Company subsequently identified an opportunity with respect to the option to acquire a 75% interest in the KM 66 property from Bearing Resources Ltd. (Bearing). The Company was unable to meet the terms of the option agreement and it was terminated during the year.


Current Business


The Company is actively for new projects and opportunities.


Market, Customers and Distribution Methods


Although there can be no assurance, large and well capitalized markets are readily available for all minerals throughout the world. A very sophisticated futures market for the pricing and delivery of future production also exists. The price for minerals is affected by a number of global factors, including economic strength and resultant demand for minerals for production, fluctuating supplies, mining activities and production by others in the industry, and new and or reduced uses for subject minerals.


The mineral exploration industry is highly speculative. As such, it involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Few mineral exploration projects actually become operating mines.


The mining industry is subject to a number of factors, including intense industry competition, high susceptibility to economic conditions (such as price of minerals, foreign currency exchange rates, and capital and operating costs), and political conditions (which could affect such things as import and export regulations, foreign ownership restrictions). Furthermore, the mining activities are subject to all hazards incidental to mineral exploration, development and production, as well as risk of damage from earthquakes, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to or loss of property and equipment and possible environmental damage. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions are also involved in mineral exploration and development.


Competition


The mineral exploration industry is highly competitive. We are a new exploration stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete with junior and senior mineral exploration companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire mineral exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the acquisition of mineral exploration interests is intense with many mineral exploration leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the financial, technological information or expertise available to other bidders.


Many of the mineral exploration companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of mineral exploration properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring mineral exploration interests of merit or on exploring or developing their mineral exploration properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire mineral exploration properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further mineral exploration interests or explore and develop our current or future mineral exploration properties.  We also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based on the merit of their mineral exploration properties or the price of the investment opportunity.




2


In addition, we compete with both junior and senior mineral exploration companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.


General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for mineral exploration.


In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable mineral properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable mineral properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the mineral exploration industry by:


·

keeping our costs low;

·

relying on the strength of our managements contacts; and


·

using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.


Intellectual Property


We claim common law trademark rights in our corporate name and logo. We do not hold any registered copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property right.


Research and Development


We did not incur any research and development expenses during the period from February 9, 2007 (inception) to our fiscal period ended July 31, 2013.


Reports to Security Holders


We are subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act and we intend to furnish our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and to make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year. We file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to meet our timely and continuous disclosure requirements. We may also file additional documents with the Commission if they become necessary in the course of our companys operations.


The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov.


Environmental Regulations


We are not aware of any material violations of environmental permits, licenses or approvals that have been issued with respect to our operations. We expect to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to our business, and at this time, we do not anticipate incurring any material capital expenditures to comply with any environmental regulations or other requirements.




3


While our intended projects and business activities do not currently violate any laws, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our potential customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs or decreasing demand for our products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.


Employees


We have commenced only limited operations; therefore, we have no full-time employees. Our officers and directors provide services to us on an as-needed basis. When we commence full operations, we will need to establish full-time management and administrative support staff. Our company intends to contract-out many of these functions.


Item 1A.

Risk Factors


Risks Related To Our Business


Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.


Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.


Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating significant revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating significant revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues which are greater than our expenses will cause you to lose your investment.


We have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.


We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have incurred a net loss of $679,789 for the year ended July 31, 2013.  As a result, at July 31, 2013 we had an accumulated deficit of $891,925 and total stockholders deficit of $558,725. We have not generated any revenues since our inception and do not anticipate that we will generate revenues which will be sufficient to sustain our operations.


We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our mining property. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our mines or ever become profitable.


We may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our future capital needs due to changes in general economic conditions.


We anticipate needing significant capital to pay current accounts payable and accrued liabilities and to continue to seek out new opportunities. We may use capital more rapidly than currently anticipated and incur higher operating expenses than currently expected, and we may be required to depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs. We may need new or additional financing in the future to conduct our operations or expand our business. Any sustained weakness in the general economic conditions and/or financial markets in the United States or globally could adversely affect our ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all.


From time to time we have relied, and may also rely in the future, on access to financial markets as a source of liquidity to satisfy working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. We may be unable to secure



4


debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we do raise funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, which could place limitations on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


We may not have access to the supplies and materials needed for exploration, which could cause delays or suspension of our operations.


Competitive demands for contractors and unforeseen shortages of supplies and/or equipment could result in the disruption of planned exploration activities. Current demand for exploration drilling services, equipment and supplies is robust and could result in suitable equipment and skilled manpower being unavailable at scheduled times in our exploration programs. Furthermore, fuel prices are rising. We will attempt to locate suitable equipment, materials, manpower and fuel if sufficient funds are available. If we cannot find the equipment and supplies needed for our various exploration programs, we may have to suspend some or all of them until equipment, supplies, funds and/or skilled manpower can be obtained.


Attraction and retention of qualified personnel is necessary to implement and conduct our mineral exploration programs.


Our future success will depend largely upon the continued services of our Board members, executive officers and other key personnel. Our success will also depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel with mining experience. Key personnel represent a significant asset for us, and the competition for qualified personnel is intense in the mineral exploration industry.


We may have particular difficulty attracting and retaining key personnel in the initial phases of our exploration programs. We do not have key-person life insurance coverage on any of our personnel. The loss of one or more of our key people or our inability to attract, retain and motivate other qualified personnel could negatively impact our ability to complete our exploration programs.


Risks Related to Ownership of our Securities


Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.


The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board quotation system in which shares of our common stock are listed, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:


·

variations in our operating results;

·

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

·

changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;

·

additions or departures of key personnel; and

·

future sales of our common stock.




5


Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.


Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.


We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. Our common shares trading volume has historically been sporadically or thinly-traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at certain given time may be relatively small or non-existent.


This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume. Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.


The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.


Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.


Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.


We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholders.


We presently do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. If payment of dividends does occur at some point in the future, it would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any common stock dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings after paying the interest for the preferred stock, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends for common stock in the foreseeable future.




6


If we are currently listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system and our common stock is subject to penny stock rules which could negatively impact our liquidity and our shareholders ability to sell their shares.


Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board. We must comply with numerous rules in order to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the requirements to maintain the quotation on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board listing of our common stock. If we are unable to maintain our listing on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board, the market liquidity of our common stock may be severely limited.

Volatility in our common share price may be subject to US Securities Litigation.


The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of our securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.


The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.


Our articles of incorporation do not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders; however, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided for by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.


We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.


In the future, we may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.


Our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.


Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and FINRA, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in,



7


increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.


We will incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of becoming a public company.


As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and FINRA. We expect these rules and regulations, in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditors to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. We are currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated timeframe. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or our independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding managements assessment. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.


We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.


We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Properties


We currently use the office space of one of the directors of the Company totaling approximately 3,000 square feet in area for which we pay approximately 15% of the total costs of. Our office is located at 700 510 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 1L8 and our telephone number is (604) 687-7130. Our company deems this to be satisfactory at this time.


Item 3.

Legal Proceedings


We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which our property is the subject. We also know of no proceedings to which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered



8


or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us.


Item 4.  Mining Safety Disclosures


The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) requires the operators of mines to include in each periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission certain specified disclosures regarding the Companys history of mine safety. The Company is currently in the exploration phase and does not operate mines at any of its properties, and as such is not subject to disclosure requirements regarding mine safety that were imposed by the Act

Market Information


Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Our common stock is quoted on OTC Bulletin Board, under the trading symbol PROF. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.


OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers. OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a national or regional stock exchange.

On January 31, 2013, we issued 400,000 shares of our common stock to San Marco in partial satisfaction of our obligations under our Option Agreement with San Marco dated February 28, 2012, as assigned and amended on by the Amending Agreement dated August 2, 2012. The securities were issued to one non-U.S. person in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


On February 22, 2013, we issued 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to Bearing in partial satisfaction of our obligations under our Option Agreement with Bearing. The securities were issued to one non-U.S. person in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


Description of Registrants Securities to be Registered


Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,680,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.


Common Stock


As of the date of this report we had 63,400,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.


Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or other subscription rights. Our common stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available, when, as and if declared by our board of directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets available for distribution to our security holders.


Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as our board may deem appropriate without further security holder action.


Voting Rights


Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to our board of directors.


Dividend Policy


Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. From our inception to December 9, 2007 we did not declare any dividends.




10


We do not intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. However, it is possible that our management may decide to declare a stock dividend in the future. Our future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, our capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.

Our independent stock transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 4045 South Spencer Street, Suite 403, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89119.


Indemnification of Directors and Officers


The company has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its directors and officers.


Other that the Indemnification Agreements between the company and each of the companys directors and officers, the only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of us is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:

Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the NRS).


Nevada Revised Statutes


Section 78.138 of the NRS provides for immunity of directors from monetary liability, except in certain enumerated circumstances, as follows:


Except as otherwise provided in NRS 35.230, 90.660, 91.250, 452.200, 452.270, 668.045 and 694A.030, or unless the Articles of Incorporation or an amendment thereto, in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003, provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that:


(a)

his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Forward-looking statements


This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to us which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statement contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2013.




12


Plan of Operation


As at July 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $10,146, compared to a cash balance of $1,930 as of July 31, 2012. Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to seek out a new opportunity.


As well, we anticipate spending an additional $500,000 on administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with our filing obligations as a reporting issuer.

 

We do not have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated administrative expenses or to acquire a new mineral property, so we will require additional funding. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.


If we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan. Any business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on possible acquisition of additional resource properties. Such due diligence would likely include purchase investigation costs, such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits.


Our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to acquire any resource property and additional funds will be required to earn-in to the La Buena property. As a reporting company we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. If no other such opportunities are available and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain minimum operations, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.


Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include the following:


·

our ability to raise additional funding;


·

our ability to acquire a new mineral property;


·

the market price for minerals that may be found on any mineral property we may acquire;


·

the results of our proposed exploration programs on the mineral property; and


·

our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests.


We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


Results of Operations


We have had no operating revenues since our inception on February 9, 2007 through July 31, 2013, and have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $891,925 for the same period. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and loans from related parties.


We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on any mineral property we may acquire, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide



13


no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on any mineral property we may acquire, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.


For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $65,114 compared to $21,366 for the year ended July 31, 2012 and professional fees were $45,509 compared to $32,395 for the same period last fiscal year as the Company was active in seeking projects throughout the year as compared to prior year.


Since our inception on February 9, 2007 through July 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $112,649, professional fees were $116,614, consulting expense were $139,143, filing expense were $39,369, promotion expense were $118,332 and we incurred $376,500 in geological, mineral and prospect costs written off.


During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $679,789, which resulted in an accumulated deficit of $891,925, compared to a net loss of $134,757 and an accumulated deficit of $212,136 for the year ended July 31, 2012.


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We had cash of $10,146 as of July 31, 2013, compared to a cash position of $1,930 at July 31, 2012. Since inception through to and including July 31, 2013, we have raised $29,200 through private placements of our common shares.


We expect to run at a loss for at least the next twelve months. We have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations. 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 our plan of operations, then we will not be able to acquire a new mineral property and carry out any exploration work on it and our venture will fail.


Off-balance sheet arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

PATRIOT MINEFINDERS INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2013


1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS


Atlantic Resources Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. On March 29, 2012, Atlantic Resources Inc. merged with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary Patriot Minefinders Inc. (the Company), a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change from Atlantic Resources Inc. to Patriot Minefinders Inc.  The Company was formed solely for the change of name.  The Company acquired a mineral property claim located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, but allowed the claim to lapse on October 6, 2010.  


The Company is in the early stages of exploration and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its exploration and acquisition activities.  These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a loss of $679,789 for the year ended July 31, 2013 and has accumulated a deficit during the exploration stage of $891,925.  This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan, which is typical for junior exploration companies.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


Management of the Company (Management) is of the opinion that sufficient financing will be obtained from external financing and further share issuances to meet the Companys obligations.  At July 31, 2013, the Company has working capital deficiency of $558,725, which would not be sufficient to fund the current level of operations.  


2.

BASIS OF PREPARATION


Generally accepted accounting principles


These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (US GAAP) for financial information with the instructions to Form 10-K and Regulation S-K.  Results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the future.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties and the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.  Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.



3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Receivables


No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided.  Management has evaluated all receivables and believes they are collectible.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)


Mineral property


The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition.  After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs.  If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value.  Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred.  Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized.  Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses).  When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.


Long-lived assets


Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.


Asset retirement obligations


The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).


Loss per share


Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method and the if converted method.  


Financial instruments


The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.  


Fair value of financial assets and liabilities


The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2013

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)


Fair value of financial assets and liabilities (contd)


The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature.  Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferors carrying amount or exchange amount.


Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income.  Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method of amortization.  Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.


The following indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilizes to determine the fair value of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.


Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market data.


Financial instruments, including due from related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liability are classified as other financial liabilities and are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.  


Concentration of credit risk


The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of July 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.


Stock-based compensation


The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured.  Grant date for all stock-based awards to employees and directors and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.  The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value.


The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock- based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. For stock options granted to employees, directors, and non-employees, the fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)


Income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby 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 the asset and liability method 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. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.


Foreign exchange


The Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.


Exploration Stage Company


As an exploration stage Company, it is a type of development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-915.  Accordingly, the Company devotes substantially all of its present efforts to establish its business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Companys development stage activities.


Recent accounting pronouncements


Reporting of Amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income


In February 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to items reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new standard requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements:(i) the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and (ii) the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The update is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities


In November 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new standard requires disclosures to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under IFRS. The update is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required.

The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Controls and Procedures.


(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures


Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting.


As used herein, disclosure controls and procedures mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


(b)

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on our evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2013.


In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2013 certain internal control weaknesses became evident that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses, including: lack of segregation of incompatible duties.

Fred Tejada has 30 years of international mineral industry experience and has a proven record working with both major mining companies and exploration-focused organizations. He is currently president of Tirex Resources Ltd., a Vancouver-based public company with near term production projects in Albania.

Other Directorships


Our Board consists of four members.  Although, we are not currently subject to any law, rule, or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board include independent directors, two of our directors are considered to be independent directors, as defined in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ.


Board of Directors and Director Nominees


The decisions of the board regarding director nominees are made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominees qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the board, as well as a list of references.


The board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the board believes it to be appropriate, board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the board.


Conflicts of Interest


Our directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which



17



they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities that are engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.


We do not have any written procedures in place to address conflicts of interest that may arise between our business and the future business activities of the Board of Directors.


In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to the corporation if:


·

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

·

the opportunity is within the corporations line of business; and

·

it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.


We have adopted a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.


Significant Employees and Consultants


We have no significant employees other than the officers and directors described above.


Audit Committee Financial Expert


Fred Tejada is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 401(h)(1) of Regulation S-K. In general, an audit committee financial expert is an individual member of the audit committee who (a) understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, (b) is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates and accruals, (c) has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the companys financial statements, (d) understands internal controls over financial reporting (e) understands audit committee functions, and (f) is an independent director.


Compensation Committee

Role and Responsibilities of the Board


The Board of Directors oversees the conduct and supervises the management of our business and affairs pursuant to the powers vested in it by and in accordance with the requirements of the Revised Statutes of Nevada. The Board of Directors holds regular meetings to consider particular issues or conduct specific reviews whenever deemed appropriate.


Our Board of Directors considers good corporate governance to be important to our effective operations. Our directors are elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders and serve until their successors are elected or appointed. Officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors or until their earlier resignation or removal.




18
