DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


General


The Company is a mineral exploration company with a copper/gold property under option.


On May 18, 2015, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Eastfield Resources Ltd., a British Columbia company with its common shares listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “ETF” (“Eastfield”), pursuant to which Eastfield granted the Company the exclusive and irrevocable option to acquire up to a 75% undivided interest in and to certain mineral claims known as the Indata property located in the Omineca Mining Division in British Columbia, Canada (the “Property”).  In order to earn the initial 60% interest, the Company is required to pay Eastfield an aggregate of $350,000 in cash and incur a minimum of $2,000,000 in aggregate exploration expenditures on the Property by April 3, 2019.  In order to earn the additional 15% interest, it is required to pay Eastfield $100,000 within 90 days of earning the 60% interest and incur a further $500,000 in aggregate annual exploration expenditures on the Property until such time as the Company is able to complete a feasibility study on the Property.  Upon the completion of a feasibility study, the additional 15% interest will be deemed to have been earned.


Prior to entering into the Option Agreement, the Company was a development stage company engaged in exploring and evaluating potential strategic transactions in multiple industries, including but not limited to mineral properties and technology.


Business Development


The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 9, 2007 under the name Atlantic Resources, Inc.


Prior to entering into the Option Agreement, the Company was a development stage company engaged in exploring and evaluating potential strategic transactions in multiple industries, including but not limited to mineral properties and technology.


In early 2012, the Company identified an opportunity with respect to the option to acquire a 50% interest in a mineral resource property known as the La Buena Project from San Marco Resources Inc., a British Columbia

corporation at arm’s length to the Company with its common shares listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “SMN” (“San Marco”). On May 17, 2012, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with Skanderbeg Capital Partners Inc. (“Skanderbeg”), a British Columbia corporation that is a related party to the Company, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of Skanderbeg’s right, title and interest in and to an option agreement between Skanderbeg and San Marco dated February 28, 2012 in exchange for CDN$100,000 in cash, thereby acquiring such an option.  Pursuant to the option agreement and in partial exercise of the option, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to San Marco on June 18, 2012. During the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company decided not to move forward with the La Buena Project and on January 29, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with San Marco and Skanderbeg pursuant to which the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock valued at $92,000 to San Marco and paid San Marco $10,000 in cash in order to terminate the option agreement and its obligations to San Marco thereunder.


On April 11, 2012, the Company completed a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot Minefinders Inc., and formally assumed the subsidiary’s name by filing Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The subsidiary was incorporated entirely for the purpose of effecting the name change and the merger did not affect the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or corporate structure in any other way.


On April 19, 2012, in accordance with approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Company effected a forward split of its common stock on a 24 new for 1 old basis such that its authorized capital increased from 70,000,000 to 1,680,000,000 shares of common stock and correspondingly, its issued and outstanding common stock increased from 4,700,000 to 112,800,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.001.  Both The name change and forward split became effective in the market at the open of business on April 19, 2012, and effective June 1, 2012, the Company’s stock symbol changed from “AARI” to “PROF” to better reflect its new name.


On June 19, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved the cancellation and sale of a portion of 72,000,000 post-split shares of common stock held by its former director, officer and majority shareholder, Raffi Khorchidian. Effective that day, the shareholder cancelled and returned to treasury 52,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and sold an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to certain of the Company’s current and former directors, including 500,000 shares to Fred Tejada, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and director, at a price of $0.0014 per share. Mr. Khorchidian currently holds the balance of 17,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (212,500 Shares following the completion of the 1 for 80 reverse split described below). Following the cancellation, there were 61,800,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


In early 2013, the Company identified an opportunity with respect to the option to acquire a 75% interest in a mineral resource property known as the KM 66 Project from Bearing Resources Ltd., a British Columbia corporation at arm’s length to the Company with its common shares listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “BRZ” (“Bearing”). On February 18, 2013, the Company entered into an option agreement with Bearing and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bearing pursuant to which the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock to Bearing valued at $192,000 and paid Bearing $50,000 in cash in partial satisfaction of its obligations under the option agreement. The Company was unable to satisfy the balance of the terms of the option agreement and it was terminated during the year ended July 31, 2013.


On October 31, 2013, the Company entered in to a binding letter of intent with Wundr Software Inc., a private Canadian corporation at arm’s length to the Company (“Wundr”), pursuant to which the Company expected to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Wundr. The Company advanced $50,038 to Wundr as a loan while the letter of intent was in effect, which amount was subsequently recorded as bad debt expense. The Company decided not to proceed with the transaction, and it announced that the letter of intent had expired on January 10, 2014.

On May 23, 2014, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Juliet Press Inc., a private British Columbia company (“Juliet”), and all the shareholders of Juliet (the “Juliet Shareholders”), to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Juliet (the “Juliet Shares”) from the Juliet Shareholders.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company expected to issue 14,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Juliet Shareholders in consideration for the acquisition of the Juliet Shares, with the result that Juliet would become the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary upon the closing of the transaction. On September 25, 2014 and pursuant to section 13.4(d) of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company mutually agreed in writing with Juliet and the Juliet Shareholders to terminate the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of such termination, the Share Exchange Agreement is of no further force and effect except for certain non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations of the parties.


On January 14, 2015, the Company completed a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Rise Resources Inc., and formally assumed the subsidiary’s name by filing Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State (the “Name Change”).  The subsidiary was incorporated entirely for the purpose of effecting the Name Change and the merger did not affect the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or corporate structure in any other way.


On January 22, 2015, the Company completed a 1 for 80 reverse split of its common stock and effected a corresponding decrease in its authorized capital by filing a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State (the “Reverse Split”).  As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company’s authorized capital decreased from 1,680,000,000 shares to 21,000,000, and its issued and outstanding common stock decreased from 63,400,000 shares to 792,518, with each fractional share being rounded up to the nearest whole share.


Both the Name Change and Reverse Split became effective in the market at the open of business on February 9, 2015.


On February 11, 2015, the Company entered into debt conversion agreements with five investors pursuant to which such investors agreed to convert an aggregate of CDN$400,000 in debt into 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of CDN$0.02 per share.  On October 28, 2015, the investors agreed to cancel an aggregate of 8,571,428 of those shares on a pro rata basis to increase the effective conversion price to CDN$0.035 per share.


On February 16, 2015, the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock approved an increase in the Company’s authorized capital from 21,000,000 shares of common stock to 400,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Capital Increase”).  The purpose of the Authorized Capital Increase was to reorganize the Company’s capital structure in connection with the Reverse Split, which management believed would better position the Company to attract financing.  On April 9, 2015, the Company formally effected the Authorized Capital Increase by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.


On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into debt conversion agreements with 13 investors pursuant to which such investors agreed to convert an aggregate of approximately CDN$206,675 in debt into 10,333,771 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of CDN$0.02 per share. On April 9, 2015, following the completion of the Authorized Capital Increase, the Company formally issued these shares.  On October 28, 2015, the investors agreed to cancel an aggregate of 4,428,758 of those shares on a pro rata basis to increase the effective conversion price to CDN$0.035 per share.


On April 3, 2015, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Eastfield that was subsequently replaced by the Option Agreement.


On April 23, 2015, the Company entered into debt conversion agreements with two investors pursuant to which such investors agreed to convert an aggregate of approximately $40,982 in debt into 1,170,906 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of CDN$0.035 per share. On the same day, the Company also issued an aggregate of 6,000,002 shares of common stock to six investors at a price of CDN$0.035 per share in exchange for gross proceeds of CDN$210,000.

History


The initial claims on the Property were staked by Imperial in 1983, and in 1984, Imperial began to explore the Property.  Following initial soil sampling and the staking of additional claims, a four-hole diamond drilling program was completed to explore copper mineralization observed in outcrop near the northeast side of Albert Lake (the Lake Zone).  This program resulted in the discovery of low grade chalcopyrite mineralization including 9.3 metres of 0.20% Cu in one drill hole.  Hole depths were relatively shallow; to a maximum of 76.8 metres.


On March 3, 1986, Imperial sold the claims to Eastfield pursuant to a sale agreement that also covered the sale of other of Imperial properties, for a total sum of $1, subject to a number of terms that included the right of Imperial to acquire up to a 30% interest in the Property at a later date.


In 1986, Eastfield undertook a program of grid establishment, soil sampling, hand trenching and geophysical surveying.  This was followed by diamond drilling in 1987, 1988 and 1989 and trenching with a bulldozer-mounted backhoe in 1989.  The drilling programs resulted in the discovery of polymetallic quartz and quartz-carbonate veins some 500 metres east of the copper mineralization.  These veins contained elevated precious metal values (commonly in the range of several hundred ppb gold to 6 g/t with the most significant intercept being 47 g/t gold over 4 metres).  The veins generally strike north and dip to the east, and are commonly enveloped by a zone of silicification in volcanic rocks and a thickening-downwards zone of talc-magnesite alteration in ultramafic rocks.


On February 25, 1988, Imperial acquired a 30% interest in the Property from Eastfield and the two parties entered into a joint venture.  Imperial has not participated in exploration funding in recent years and its interest in the joint venture has therefore been diluted.  As of the date of this Report, it stands at 8.9%, while Eastfield retains the remaining 91.1%.


In 1988 a heavy mineral sampling program was conducted on streams on the claims.  Most results were unimpressive, even those that drained the area of the precious metal bearing polymetallic vein mineralization, except for an east draining creek which returned a value of 3360 ppb Au in the southeast corner of the Property.


In 1995, after construction of an access road through the southern part of the Property, built to standards for log haulage, a trenching program was completed near the northeast corner of Albert Lake, over the copper zone previously defined by soil sampling and the 1985 drilling.  One of these trenches returned analyses which averaged 0.36% copper over a length of 75 metres.


In 1996, Clear Creek Resources Limited (“Clear Creek”) carried out a small diamond drilling program in the copper zone northeast of Albert Lake.  Results confirmed the existence of copper mineralization identified in the 1985 drilling and encountered mineralization over significantly larger intervals: up to 97.5 metres of 0.12% Cu in one drill hole, and 21.0 metres of 0.23% Cu in another drill hole.  This program tested only a very small part of the area covered by anomalous soil copper geochemistry.


Clear Creek returned with another drill program in the copper zone area in 1998 which confirmed and exceeded the 1996 drilling results and also identified an altered granodiorite stock with copper mineralization adjacent to the eastern edge of Albert Lake.  A new zone of copper mineralization was also discovered in a fan of three holes: 98-I-4, 5 and 9, located 350 metres southeast of the previous drill intercepts, halfway to the zone of polymetallic veins.  Road construction exposed silicified volcanic rocks in a road cut in the southern part of the existing grid where grab samples showed the presence of copper sulfides along with enriched gold values, demonstrating for the first time an association of copper and gold on the Property.


In 2000, a helicopter borne very low frequency (VLF) and magnetic survey was flown across the Property.  A total of 595 east-west line kilometres were flown by Aerodat Ltd.  The data was later reprocessed by Furgo Airborne Surveys Corp.  No new exploration targets were derived from this work.





13



A program of linecutting, soil sampling and induced polarization surveying was completed in 2003, funded by Castillian Resources Corp., with 11.2 line kilometres of induced polarization survey completed and 16 line kilometers of soil grid expansions established, and 304 soil samples collected.  The bulk of this work was completed in the northwestern side of the currently explored area.  New anomalies consisting of anomalous arsenic and/or antimony soil values associated with a moderate induced polarization chargeability response were defined.


In 2005, two diamond drill holes were completed with a total meterage of 262 metres in a program funded by Aberdeen International Inc.  The first hole of the 2005 program, hole 2005-I-1, was designed to test below hole 98-I-4 which returned 145.4 metres grading 0.20% copper including 24.1 metres grading 0.37%.  Unfortunately, significant drilling difficulties were encountered and this hole was abandoned at a depth of 99.1 metres, approximately 50 metres short of the top of the target.  The rest of the 2005 drilling was located approximately 1400 metres to the south where hole 2005-I-03 encountered narrow intervals of anomalous copper mineralization in a dioritic intrusive.  Another hole designated 2005-I-02, located adjacent to 2005-I-03, was abandoned without successfully setting casing.


Soil sampling was conducted in 2007 to extend the grids to the west and north in the area north of the Lake Zone.  A zone of anomalous gold, arsenic, antimony and bismuth in soils was located in the northwest corner of the new sampling in an area underlain by recrystallized limestone which is in fault contact with volcanic rocks to the south (the “Northwest Soil Anomaly”).  A short excavator trenching program targeting 2003 induced polarization (“IP”) and soil anomalies discovered a new polymetallic quartz vein well to the west of those previously known. The 10 centimetre vein returned assay values of 17.16 and 7.84 g/t Au.  This work was funded by Redzone Resources Ltd.


Max Resource Corp. optioned the property in 2008 and funded a five hole 1056.2 metre diamond drill program, focusing mostly on the polymetallic vein zone.  Highlights included hole 08-I-2, which returned 8.20g/t Au over 0.3 metres and 08-I-3 which returned 209g/t Ag over 0.5 metres.


In 2010, the Property was optioned to Oceanside Capital Corporation (“Oceanside”).  During that year a program of ground geophysics and soil sampling was conducted.  Four north-south lines totaling 5.4 kilometres were emplaced and an IP and magnetic survey was run along these.  One of the lines ran along the east side of the north end of Albert Lake across the area of the previously known copper in soil anomaly and where previous porphyry copper mineralization encountered in the 2005 drilling (the Lake Zone).  The other three lines tested the area of the strong gold, arsenic, antimony and bismuth in soil anomaly discovered in 2007 in the northwest part of the property (the Northwest Soil Anomaly).


A strong chargeability high was returned from the Lake Zone area, coincidental with the copper in soil anomaly.  Chargeability highs were also discovered in the northwest and southeast areas of the other three lines in the Northwest Soil Anomaly, roughly flanking a prominent ridge of recrystallized limestone.


Also in 2010, a total of 471 soil samples were collected.  The four IP lines were sampled and three other widely spaced reconnaissance type east-west lines were emplaced and sampled in the southern part of the Property to the south of the existing grids.  The multi-element “epithermal-type” soil anomaly in the northwest part of the Property was confirmed and spotty gold and copper anomalies were discovered on the southern lines.


The 2011 program was made up of an IP/magnetics survey along the three southern 2010 soil lines, which totaled 8.1 line kilometres.  Two north-south trending chargeability highs were encountered near the eastern end of the two northern lines (L100N and L300S).  A strong copper in soil anomaly coincides with the western chargeability high on L100N.  The southernmost line (L1850S) is 1550 metres south of the other two lines and has three prominent chargeability highs.


In 2012, Oceanside and Eastfield constructed 3.2 kilometers of drill road access along with the construction of six drill sites.  Eighteen rock samples were collected during this work, one of which returned an analysis of 0.78%

copper in dacitic volcanic float from a new road in the southern part of the Property, in the area of the 2010-2011 soil sampling and geophysical work.


The 2013 program was focused on the southern part of the property in the area where the copper bearing float was discovered in 2012.  Minor prospecting and rock sampling was conducted and additional mineralized float and rubble was found in the area.  Three 1000 metre east-west soil lines were emplaced in the same area with samples collected at 50 metre intervals, to a total of 62 samples.  A number of localized copper anomalies were discovered.  As well, 17 silt samples were taken from a number of areas of the Property.  A single high gold value was returned from a sample in the southeast corner of the Property.  Subsequent to this work, Oceanside terminated its option on the Property in October 2013.


Geologic Setting


Regional Geology


The Property lies west of and along splay faults related to the contact of two major terranes of the Canadian Cordillera: the Quesnel and Cache Creek Terranes.  The contact between these terranes is marked by the Pinchi Fault Zone, a high angle reverse fault of regional extent, and associated splay faults where Cache Creek strata to the west have been thrust over Takla strata to the east.  The fault zone is up to 10 kilometres in width.  The regional geology of the Property area is shown in Figure 3.





15



Figure 3: Indata Regional Geology

[riseform10k003.jpg]


The Quesnel Terrane consists of mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic – Lower Jurassic Takla Group intruded by the Hogem Batholith, which is composed of intrusive phases which range in composition from granite to monzonite to quartz syenite, which range in age from Lower Jurassic to Cretaceous.




16




The Cache Creek Terrane in the region comprises mainly argillaceous metasedimentary rocks intruded by diorite to granodiorite plutons (which may be pre-Triassic or Lower Cretaceous in age) and by small ultramafic stocks. Some of these latter intrusions may be of ophiolitic origin.


A northwest-striking fault bounded block situated between the two terranes (within the Pinchi Fault Zone) underlies the Property.  This block is underlain largely by limestone within which a sliver of mafic and intermediate volcanic rocks is preserved.  Both the limestone and volcanic rocks are considered here to be part of the Cache Creek Group but the evidence for this is equivocal as similar strata occur within the Takla Group elsewhere in the region.  As well, the volcanic rocks in this block have been subjected to greenschist facies metamorphism, similar to what is normally found in Cache Creek rocks, whereas generally the metamorphic grade of the Takla Group volcanic rocks is rarely higher than zeolite facies.  But the area’s proximity to such a major fault may locally have raised the metamorphic grade as has been demonstrated further to south along the Pinchi fault at Pinchi Lake where metamorphic grade increases to blueschist grade at the fault.  It is also possible that the major fault movements along the Pinchi Lake Fault have juxtaposed Cache Creek limestone against Takla volcanic rocks within this fault block.


The dominant structural style of the Takla Group is that of extensional faulting, mainly to the northwest.  In general Takla Group rocks are tilted but not folded.  In contrast, strata of the Cache Creek Group have been folded and metamorphosed to lower to middle greenschist facies and a penetrative deformational fabric has been preserved in argillaceous rocks.  Extensional faults are also common within the Cache Creek Group and probably represent the effects of post-collision uplift.


Property Geology


There are no comprehensive geological maps of the Property.  A generalized map showing outcrop locations of the various lithologies is shown in Figure 4.

18



Lithologies


The Property is underlain by two main supracrustal assemblages: limestone with minor intercalated shale; and andesitic volcanic rocks that were deposited under marine conditions.  As discussed above, it is uncertain whether these rocks belong to the Cache Creek or Quesnel Terranes.


Limestone crops out as prominent hills and bluffs in the northern, western and southern parts of the area.  Although generally massive, in places bedding is defined by thin shaley partings and by intraformational limestone conglomerate.  Breccias formed by carbonate dissolution are displayed within karst topography in the southwestern part of the Property at the southern end of Albert Lake.


Volcanic rocks underlying the Property are of andesitic composition and can be subdivided into two broad units.  In the western part of the Property, volcanic rocks consist of pillow lava, pillow breccia, coarse tuff breccia and fine-grained crystal lithic tuff.  The dominant mafic mineral in these rocks is amphibole, now represented by tremolite/actinolite but was probably hornblende prior to alteration.  The second volcanic unit consists of massive to poorly bedded volcanic tuff with variable amounts of amphibole phenocrysts.  Although commonly poorly bedded, bedding planes and fining upwards sequences can be recognized in places.


Intrusive rocks recognized on the Property range in composition from ultramafic to granite and underlie the central part of the Property area.  Hornblende diorite occurs as a pluton which extends along part of the eastern side of the central part of the property and as dykes.  The bulk of this pluton has a fine to medium-grained hypidiomorphic granular texture although both marginal phases of the pluton and the dykes are porphyritic.  A small part of the pluton is of quartz diorite composition although primary quartz is generally absent.  While diorite dykes are common within the volcanic rocks of the property, no diorite intrusions have been observed within the limestone unit, suggesting that the diorite and volcanic rocks are of similar age and are either older than the massive limestone or that the limestone is allochthonous with respect to the volcanics and was emplaced adjacent to the volcanic strata after volcanism and plutonism had ceased.


Intruding both volcanic rocks and diorite are ultramafic bodies, serpentinite to varying degrees but which preserve textures suggesting that the original rocks were peridotite and pyroxenite.  Cross fibre chrysotile veins and veinlets occur throughout these bodies.  To the south of Radio Lake (see Figure 4) a differentiated and zoned ultramafic-mafic intrusion occurs, consisting of a coarse-grained clinopyroxenite core, surrounded by peridotite and, in turn, enclosed by medium to coarse-grained hornblende-clinopyroxene gabbro.


The youngest intrusive rocks of the Property consist of medium to coarse-grained grey and reddish grey biotite quartz monzonite and granite.  Whereas all other intrusive rocks in the area have been emplaced only into volcanic strata, this unit also intrudes limestone of the Cache Creek Group.


A large part of the Property is covered by glacial and fluvioglacial deposits.  Extensive areas of glacial derived clay in low-lying areas complicate geochemical soil results.


Structure and Metamorphism


The area covered by the Property can be divided into two structural domains: (i) the area underlain by carbonate rocks which is characterized by concentric folds and the development of a penetrative fabric in finer grained clastic interbeds; and (ii) that area underlain by volcanic strata which has undergone brittle deformation only.  Contacts between carbonate and volcanic strata are obscured by young cover but are inferred to be northwesterly-striking faults.  Drilling and geological mapping in the central part of the Property has indicated the presence of a number of westerly-striking faults which show normal displacements of up to a few tens of metres.


Carbonate rocks have generally been recrystallized with the common development of sparry calcite while fine grained clastic interbeds display a greenschist facies mineral assemblage.  The assemblage actinolite/tremolite-




19



chlorite-epidote within the matrix of volcanic rocks also suggests the attainment of greenschist grade of regional metamorphism in these strata.


Mineralization


Exploration on the Property has resulted in the discovery of a number of metallic mineral occurrences which can be divided into two main types: porphyry copper mineralization and quartz-carbonate polymetallic vein mineralization.  The location of these zones of mineralization is shown in Figure 5.


Figure 5: Exploration Summary Map


[riseform10k005.jpg]





20



The currently known area of porphyry copper mineralization occurs on the east side of the north end of Albert Lake (Lake Zone).  Here a strong and consistent >250 ppm Cu in soil anomaly often coincides with chargeability anomalies from the induced polarization surveys.  This soil anomaly is approximately 2,000 metres north to south and averages 400 to 600 metres east to west and sometimes attains soil copper values in excess of 7,000 ppm.  Porphyry copper type mineralization is known at the north end of this feature in outcrops, trenches and drill core occurring as disseminated and fracture controlled pyrite-chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite in volcanic and granodiorite rock units.  The best drill results from this area have been 145.4 metres averaging 0.20% copper, including 24.1 metres of 0.37% Cu in drillhole 98-I-4.  Minor work has been conducted in the southern part of the soil anomaly/chargeability high where exploration work in 2012 and 2013 has discovered similar mineralized rubble 3,800 metres to the south indicating that the area of porphyry copper mineralization may extend across a considerable area.


Polymetallic veins have been recognized in the central part of the Property to the east of the porphyry copper mineralization (see Figures 5 and 6) within andesitic volcanic rocks and serpentinized ultramafics.  The veins generally occupy a northerly-striking fault zone dipping shallowly to the east.  Within ultramafic rocks, the veins are accompanied by zones of intense carbonate and talc alteration zones which range in width from a few metres to over 50 metres in deeper and more easterly parts of the fault.  Proximal to the veins in volcanic rocks, especially adjacent to ultramafic contacts, alteration is dominated by silicification and the formation of quartz-carbonate veinlets but silicification is not common within ultramafic rocks.


To date, five separate mineralized polymetallic veins have been located on the Property.  Four of these are in the central part of the Property on top of the ridge between Indata and Albert Lakes, and all have general north-south orientations.  The longest of these has been traced in drilling for over 450 metres.  The fifth vein occurs to the northwest, halfway towards the Lake Zone porphyry copper mineralization, where a 10 centimetre vein was discovered in 2007.  This vein has an east-west orientation.


Polymetallic veins often exhibit a subtle banded appearance with bands of quartz dominant material interrupted with sulphide rich sections where the sulphide content can exceed 50%.  Sulphides are dominantly pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and stibnite with lesser pyrite and minor chalcopyrite.  Veins average approximately 1.5 metres in width but vary between 0.5 and 5.6 metres.  Trace amounts of gersdorffite (a nickel arsenide), bismuthinite (a bismuth telluride), pentlandite (a nickel sulphide) and free gold have been documented in petrographic samples taken from high-grade intercepts.  A review of 24 diamond drill intercepts grading at least 1.0 g/t gold indicates that the average vein intercept is 1.54 metres wide with an average grade of 8.41 g/t gold and 52.43 g/t silver.  It must, however, be pointed out that one very high grade intercept in hole 88-11 biases this number such that if it is removed from the calculation then the remaining 23 drill intercepts have an average thickness of 1.43 metres with an average grade of 3.06 g/t gold and 59.40 g/t silver.  These drill intercepts are generally close to true thicknesses (g/t have been converted from ppb).


Antimony, arsenic and gold are the best soil geochemical pathfinders for the polymetallic veins.  The high sulfide content of the veins also makes them a good target for closely spaced induced polarization surveys.


The relationship between the porphyry copper mineralization and the polymetallic veins has yet to be established although it is possible that the polymetallic vein mineralization represents an outer zone to a central, copper-dominated part of the same hydrothermal system.  The host volcanic rocks of the porphyry copper mineralization exhibit a mineral assemblage consistent with both propylitic hydrothermal alteration and greenschist faces regional metamorphism and could be a result of either one of, or both processes.  Because of poor outcrop and the paucity of drilling within the copper zone and in areas away from the polymetallic veins, a regional hydrothermal zonation has not been adequately interpreted within the Property.  Alternatively the veins and porphyry copper style mineralization may be unrelated and are present together as coincidence, centered on the strong structural provenance of the Pinchi Fault Zone.





21



Deposit Type


The Property is host to mineralization of two deposit types: polymetallic precious metal veins and porphyry copper.  Porphyry copper mineralization is known on the Property from the Lake Zone on the east side of Albert Lake, some 500 metres west of the area of the polymetallic veins.  Drill results here include 145.4 metres averaging 0.20% Cu, which includes a higher grade interval of 24.1 metres of 0.37% Cu.  There are a number of other porphyry copper occurrences in the area.  The Central Zone of Serengeti Resources’ Kwanika Project, located 14 kilometres north of the Property, contains an indicated resource of 244 million tonnes averaging 0.23% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au and 0.69 g/t Ag. (Roscoe Postle and Associates NI 43-101 Technical Report for Kwanika Property Preliminary Economic Assessment, 2013, Report filed on SEDAR March 4, 2013).


“Homestake” style gold mineralization, similar to the Property vein occurrences, occurs at the Snowbird deposit located near Fort St. James to the south of the Indata region, and at Mt. Sir Sidney Williams to the north of the Property.  Arsenopyrite-stibnite-chalcopyrite-pyrite veins with enriched precious metals occur at these occurrences at or near the contact of mafic and ultramafic rocks.  Drill results from polymetallic veins on the Property have reached as high as 4.0 metres of 46.20g/t Au and 2.0g/t Ag in hole 88-I-11, and 3.2 metres of 0.01 g/t Au and 354.1 g/t Ag in hole 89-I-6.


Other mineralization styles are known from elsewhere in the region.  Epithermal mercury mineralization in carbonate rocks occurs at the former producing Bralorne-Takla Mercury Mine, located 26 kilometres north of the Property, and Pinchi Mine, located 100 kilometres to the southeast.  The Lustdust skarn deposit is located 1.5 kilometres west of the Bralorne-Takla Mine, and has returned drill results including 0.80% copper and 0.67g/t gold over 59 metres and 2.19% copper and 24.04 g/t gold over 15 metres.


Plan of Operations


The Company plans to explore the under-explored southern part of the Property (Area B of Figure 6), where recent exploration has discovered indications of porphyry mineralization.  These indicators include coincidental copper in soil-chargeability anomalies, float rock samples with up to 0.78% Cu, and the existence of intrusive rocks in outcrop.


A three-phase program is proposed: two initial phases of surface work followed up by diamond drilling.  The first phase, budgeted at $151,725, entails installing grids and mapping.  The second phase is comprised of an IP-magnetics survey and soil sampling over the gridded area and will cost $152,880.  Prospecting and rock sampling of the area will also take place in conjunction with both of these programs.


Should appropriate targets be discovered during the surface programs, they should be followed up by diamond drilling of the best targets.  A 2,000 metre program costing $270,000 is proposed for this, bringing the total budget to $574,613.

Intellectual Property


The Company claims common law trademark rights in its corporate name and logo. It does not hold any registered copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property right.


Employees


The Company does not currently have any full-time or part-time employees.  Its officers and directors provide services to on an as-needed basis, and the Company plans to rely on their efforts, as well as those of a number of independent consultants, to manage its operations for the foreseeable future.


Government Regulations


The Company plans to engage in mineral exploration and development activities and will accordingly be exposed to environmental risks associated with mineral exploration activity. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, it is now the operator of the Property.


The Company’s exploration and development activities will be subject to extensive federal, provincial and local laws, regulations and permits governing protection of the environment. Among other things, its operations must comply with authorizations issued under the Mines Act (British Columbia) and the Environmental Management Act (British Columbia).


The Company’s plan is to conduct its operations in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. It believes that its operations comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations in all material respects. As of the date of this Report, the only environmental permit or authorization it requires to conduct its proposed work program is the “Notice of Work” filed with the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines; however, the Company expects that regular monitoring and compliance with periodic reporting requirements will be integral components of any such permits or authorizations that it applies for or receives in the future.


The costs associated with implementing and complying with environmental requirements can be substantial and possible future legislation and regulations could cause the Company to incur additional operating expenses, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in developing or conducting operations on the Property, the extent of which cannot be predicted with any certainty.


To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no existing environmental liabilities on the Property.

Properties


On May 25, 2015, the Company paid Eastfield $20,000 in cash and provided Eastfield with a copy of the Technical Report, thereby completing the first milestone under the Option Agreement required to earn an undivided 60% interest in and to the Property.


In addition, the Company currently uses the office space of one of its directors totaling approximately 3,000 square feet in area for which it pays approximately 7.5% of the total monthly costs. This space is located at 700 – 510 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6B 1L8, and the Company believes that it is

generally suitable to meet its needs for the foreseeable future; however, it will continue to seek additional space as required to satisfy its growth.


Item 3.

Legal Proceedings


On September 17, 2014, the Company learned that it was the subject, along with a number of additional defendants, of a notice of civil claim (the “Claim”) filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by Wundr Software Inc. (“Wundr”), an eBook software developer. Wundr and the Company were formerly parties to a binding letter of intent that was announced on November 12, 2013 (the “Wundr LOI”), pursuant to which the Company proposed to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Wundr. On January 10, 2014, the Company reported that the Wundr LOI had expired.


Among other things, the Claim alleges that the Company committed the tort of intentional interference with economic or contractual relations by virtue of its role in an alleged scheme to establish a competing business to Wundr, and that the Company, through its agents, breached the terms of the Wundr LOI by appropriating certain confidential information and intellectual property of Wundr for the purpose of establishing a competing business.  The Claim also alleges that the Company is vicariously liable for the actions of its agents.


Wundr is seeking general damages from the Company as well as damages for conspiracy to cause economic harm.  None of the allegations contained in the Claim have been proven in court, the Company believes that they are without merit, and it therefore intends to vigorously defend its position against Wundr.


Other than as described above, the Company is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which it is a party or of which the Property is the subject. The Company also knows of no proceedings to which any of its directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to the Company.

The market for the Company’s common stock has been sporadic and there have been long periods during which there were few, if any, trades.  Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on the quotations listed above, as the trades and depth of the market may be limited, and therefore, such quotes may not be a true indication of the current market value of the Company’s common stock.


Holders


As of the date of this Report, there are approximately 50 holders of record of the Company’s common stock.


Dividends


The Company has not paid dividends since its inception. While there are no restrictions in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or pursuant to any agreement or understanding which could prevent the Company from paying dividends or distributions, the Company has limited cash flow and anticipates using all available cash resources to fund working capital and explore the Property. As such, there are no plans to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decisions to pay dividends in cash or otherwise in the future will be made by the Board of Directors on the basis of the Company’s earnings, financial requirements and other conditions existing at the time a determination is made.


Penny Stock


The Company’s common stock is subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-9 thereunder, commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule”. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules.

 




26



Since the Company’s common stock is deemed to be penny stock, trading in its shares is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in the Company’s common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.


Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans


The Company does not have any compensation plans under which its equity securities are authorized for issuance.  It intends to adopt an equity compensation plan in which its directors, officers, employees and consultants will be eligible to participate.  However, no formal steps have been taken as of the date of this Report to adopt such a plan.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


Other than as disclosed in in previous quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K, the Company has not issued any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act within the past three years.


Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered


The Company’s authorized capital consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.


Common Stock


As of the date of this Report the Company has 25,297,001 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


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


The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further security holder action.


Voting Rights


Each holder of the Company’s common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of 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 the Board of Directors.




27




Dividend Policy


Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Since the Company’s inception on February 9, 2007 it has not declared any dividends.


The Company does not intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. It intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its business. However, it is possible that management may decide to declare a stock dividend in the future. Any future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, the Company’s financial condition, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.

The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to carry out the three-phase exploration program or cover its anticipated general operating expenses for the year, so it will require additional funding. The Company anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of its common stocks or from director loans. It does not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans, and if the Company is not successful in raising additional financing, it anticipates that it will not be able to proceed with its business plan.


The Company anticipates incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future. It bases this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. The Company’s future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside its control. These factors include the following:


·

its ability to raise additional funding;

·

the market price for any minerals that may be discovered on the Property;

·

the results of its proposed exploration program on the Property.


The Company has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue its proposed exploration activities. For these reasons the Company’s auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that it will be able to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s operating expenses decreased during the year ended July 31, 2015 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of becoming less active while it searched for projects in the current year and the termination of its proposed transaction with Wundr Software Inc.  However, certain decreases during the first six months of the current period were offset by increases during the subsequent six month period.


In particular, filing and regulatory fees increased during the current year compared to the prior year due to various Nevada state fees incurred in connection with the restructuring of the Company; and foreign exchange expenses increased during the current year due to increased volatility in the price of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and realized foreign exchange on Canadian-denominated debt settled through the issuance of common stock. The Company’s other operating expenses were generally consistent from period-to period apart from consulting fees and mineral exploration expenses, both of which changed as a result of the Company’s business focus switching from acquiring an operating company in the technology industry to an interest in one or more mineral resource properties.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of July 31, 2015, the Company had $13,865 in cash, $57,932 in current assets, $74,208 in total assets, $213,748 in current and total liabilities, a working capital deficit of $155,816 and an accumulated deficit of $1,161,566.


During the year ended July 31, 2015, the Company used $107,329 in net cash on operating activities, whereas it used $10,074 in net cash on operating activities during the prior year.  The difference in net cash used in operating activities during the two years was largely due to the decrease in the Company’s net loss for the most recent year, as adjusted for the accrual of a smaller accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to related parties balance.


The Company used net cash of $22,382 on investing activities, and financing activities provided $143,504 in net cash during the year ended July 31, 2015, whereas it did not use or receive any net cash from those activities during the year ended July 31, 2014.  All of the net cash the Company received from financing activities during the current year was attributable to issuances of its common stock.


The Company expects operate at a loss for at least the next 12 months. It has no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance its operations on acceptable terms in order to enable it to carry out its business plan. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to complete further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing. If the Company is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then it will not be able to carry out any exploration work on the Property and its business may fail.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2015





1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS


Atlantic Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. On March 29, 2012, the Company merged its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot Minefinders Inc., a Nevada corporation, with and into the Company to effect a name change from Atlantic Resources Inc. to Patriot Minefinders Inc.  On January 14, 2015, the Company merged its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rise Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation, in and to the Company to effect a name change from Patriot Minefinders Inc. to Rise Resources Inc.  Rise Resources Inc. was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the change of name.  


On January 22, 2015, the Company completed a 1 for 80 reverse split of its common stock and effected a corresponding decrease in its authorized capital.  As a result of the reverse split, the Company’s authorized capital decreased from 1,680,000,000 shares to 21,000,000, and its issued and outstanding common stock decreased from 63,400,000 shares to 792,500, with each fractional share being rounded up to the nearest whole share.  On February 16, 2015, the Company increased its authorized capital from 21,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares.  All share and per share amounts have been retrospectively restated for all periods presented unless otherwise stated.


The Company is in the early stages of exploration and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its acquisition activities.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operations 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 net loss of $111,911 for the year ended July 31, 2015 and has accumulated a deficit of $1,161,566.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan, which is typical for a start-up company.  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 Company’s obligations.  At July 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $155,816, which would not be sufficient to fund the current level of operations.

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Receivables


The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables.


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 Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. It is management’s 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)


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.


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 transferor’s 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 loan from related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities 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, 2015 and 2014, 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)


Stock-based compensation (cont’d…)


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.


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 Company’s 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.


Recent accounting pronouncements


In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. This ASU does the following, among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders' equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties”, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated this ASU and early adopted beginning with the year ended July 31, 2014.

Recent accounting pronouncements (cont’d…)


In August 2014, FASB also issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”.  This ASU provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if “conditions or events raise substantial doubt about [the] entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard.

MINERAL PROPERTY OPTION


Title to mineral properties


Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain mineral titles as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveying history characteristic of many mineral properties. As at July 31, 2015, the Company does not hold titles to any mineral properties.


Indata, British Columbia


On May 18, 2015, the Company entered into an option agreement with Eastfield Resources Ltd., a British Columbia company with its common shares listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “ETF” (“Eastfield”), pursuant to which Eastfield granted the Company the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire up to a 75% interest in and to certain claims in the Indata property located in the Omineca Mining Division in British Columbia, Canada.  In order to earn the initial 60% interest, the Company is required to pay Eastfield an aggregate of CAD$350,000 (CAD$20,000 paid) in cash and incur a minimum of CAD$2,000,000 in aggregate exploration expenditures on the property by April 3, 2019.  In order to earn the additional 15% interest, the Company is required to pay Eastfield CAD$100,000 cash within 90 days of earning the 60% interest and incur a further $500,000 in aggregate annual exploration expenditures on the property until such time as the Company is able to complete a feasibility study on the property.  As at July 31, 2015, the Company has incurred cumulative exploration expenditures of $4,035 on the Indata property.



5.

LONG-TERM RECEIVABLE AND CONTINGENCY


During the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company entered in to a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Wundr Software Inc. (“Wundr”).  Under the terms of the LOI, the Company would acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Wundr. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Company did not go through with the LOI, which the Company announced was expired on January 10, 2014.


During the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company advanced $50,038 to Wundr as a loan, due on demand without interest.  Management has assessed the collectability of the loan and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $50,038 for the year ended July 31, 2014.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to its principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.


As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2015 because the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date:


(i)

lack of segregation of incompatible duties due to insufficient personnel.


A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period ended July 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting


Item 9B.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.


Transactions with Related Persons


The following includes a summary of transactions since August 1, 2012, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described in Item 11 – Executive Compensation).  The Company believes the terms obtained or consideration that it paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions






38



described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

Director Independence


Because the Company’s common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, it currently uses the definition in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) for determining director independence, which provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:


·

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;


·

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);


·

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;


·

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);


·

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or


·

the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.







39



The Company has determined that only Bradley Scharfe does not meet this definition of independence.
