NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF REPORTING
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by Spectral Capital Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring
adjustments. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Extractive Resources Corporation.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year
The company was incorporated on September 13, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada and changed its name to FUSA Capital Corporation on June 17, 2005. On March 7, 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of FUSA Technology Investments, Inc., formed on February 9, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization such that the historical transactions of the acquired company were carried forward.
On July 27, 2010, the Company changed its name to Spectral Capital Corporation.
The Company has been in the business of developing Internet search engine technology. As of October, 2010, the company ceased its Internet search engine technology business. As further described in Note 3, the Company has purchased interests in various mineral properties and is exploring various oil and gas opportunities and has been engaged in the natural resources business since August of 2010. Development and exploration activities are currently being evaluated.

SPECTRAL CAPITAL CORPORATION
(formerly FUSA CAPITAL CORPORATION)
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $1,051,490 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations
The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At September 30, 2011 the Company's bank deposits exceeded the insured amounts. Management believes it has little risk related to the excess deposits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Spectral Capital’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. In 2010, the Company issued 1,000,000 options to its employees. There was no stock-based compensation issued to employees in 2009.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation
expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. In 2010, the Company issued 2,000,000 options to advisors of the Company. There was no stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in 2009.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of September 30, 2011, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling 19,000,000 at September 30, 2011, representing outstanding warrants and options were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share for the period ended September 30, 2011, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2011.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company affected a 1500:1 reverse share split. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect such stock split.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
Mineral and Oil and Gas Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years for the assets currently owned by the Company

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Research and Development Costs
Pursuant to SFAS No. 2 (ASC 730-10),
"Accounting for Research and Development
Costs," our research and development costs, which relate to the development of software to be used in our search engine technology, were expensed as technological feasibility of the software had not been reached as of December 31, 2009.
The cost of materials and equipment that are acquired for research and development activities and that have alternative future uses are capitalized when acquired, such as computer equipment. Research and development expenses totalled $nil and $nil for 2011 and 2010.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The business of the Company involves operational transactions in Canada and Europe for which it transacts payments in Canadian currency through a bank account maintained for that purpose. At the time of payment, each Canadian disbursement is translated into the U. S. dollar equivalent amount and an exchange gain or loss on currency is recorded at that time. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Canadian bank account balance, which was the only account balance maintained in foreign currency at that date was converted into a U. S. dollar equivalent amount.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Spectral Capital does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – MINERAL PROPERTIES
On September 20, 2010, Spectral Capital Corporation entered into a Definitive Financing Agreement ("Agreement") with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. (“Gamma”) regarding the acquisition of a 47% undivided interest in two mineral properties in the Chita region of the Russian Federation. Subsequently, Spectral acquired an additional 5% interest in the properties. On July 8, 2011, the Company effectively rescinded the transaction due to disappointing geological information received from the Company’s retained, independent third party experts and on that date entered into an agreement with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. to convey to Gamma it’s
52% interest in a gold mining property in the Chita region of Russia previously granted under the agreement of September 20, 2010 and related agreements thereto. The conveyance was in exchange for the cancellation of Gamma’s 5,000,000 outstanding warrants in the Company and the reimbursement of the Company by Gamma of all expenditures on the project to date.

NOTE 3 – MINERAL PROPERTIES ( continued)
On January 14, 2011, Spectral entered into a Definitive Financing Agreement with International Asset Holding Corp whereby Spectral acquired a 65% interest in a gold mining property in the Bayankol River region of Kazakhstan. In order to facilitate license transfer of this property and financing, Spectral formed a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary called Extractive Resources Corporation, which was the party to this Definitive Financing Agreement. Under this Agreement, IAHC is entitled to 5,000,000 warrants of Spectral with a five year term for $3.50 per share. Extractive also agreed to provide $200,000,000 in financing over a five year term to maintain its rights in the
property and to pay a 1% net smelter royalty on minerals extracted from the property.
See Note 9. Subsequent to entering into this agreement, the Company has had difficulty verifying clear title to the property, transferring the property into a newly formed Joint Venture special purpose vehicle as required by the Definitive Financing Agreement and obtaining the necessary geological information to proceed with development of the property. If the Company is no able to obtain the required information and the transfer of title to the special purpose entity within the near term, the Company will most likely abandon its interests in the property and cancel the outstanding warrants.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On July 9, 2010, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock in settlement of $10,000 of debt owed to an Officer of the Company.
Accounts payable totaling $16,467 (December 31- $21,270) are owed to the CEO of the Company for reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE
The convertible promissory note payable bears interest at 10% per annum and was due December 31, 2009. At the option of the note holder, the promissory note payable balance outstanding, with any accrued interest, may be converted into common shares of the Company.
The convertible promissory note holder converted accrued interest of $1,000 on the note into 200,000 (133 post-reverse split) common shares of the Company in July, 2009, and agreed to extend the due date of the promissory note payable to April 30, 2010.
Pursuant to a notice of conversion by holders of the promissory notes, the Company converted the outstanding interest and principal under the notes, which was in excess of $50,000, for a settled amount of $50,000. Under the terms of the note, the shares were converted at the current financing price of $0.001 per share. Therefore, on August 18, 2010 we issued 50,000,000 shares to various unrelated third party holders of the April 2009 promissory notes.

NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
The estimated grant date fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,170,713; this was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: our stock price on date of grant, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 132%, risk-free interest rate of 2.51-2.57%, an expected life of 10 years. 1,000,000 of the options will vest immediately with the remaining 2,000,000 options vesting over 5 years.
Because the Company’s stock-based compensation options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimate, amounts estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model may differ materially from the actual fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation options. There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2009.
Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $150,000 in fiscal 2010 and $0 in fiscal 2009. Stock option expense recognized in net earnings amounted to $1,170,713 in 2010 and $0 in 2009. As of September 30, 2011, there was $2,088,063 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share awards that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 4.67 years.
NOTE 8 - COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
The Company granted 11,000,000 warrants in Fiscal 2010 in connection with private placements to unrelated third parties. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19 (ASC 815-40), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, and as such, were classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company has estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the private placements at $2,821,069 as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also issued 5,000,000 warrants in
connections with the Definitive Financing Agreement entered into with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. (“Gamma”) regarding the acquisition of a 47% undivided interest in two mineral properties in the Chita region of the Russian Federation. The warrants issued to Gamma were capitalized as acquisition costs of the mineral interests. The Company has estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of mineral interests at $1,311,508 as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
During the period ended March 31, 2011, The Company issued 5,000,000 warrants in connection with a definitive financing agreement with International Asset Holding Corp. regarding the acquisition of a 65% interest in a mining property in Kazakhstan. The company has estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of mineral interest at $ 15,547,500. Subsequent to entering into this agreement, the Company has had difficulty verifying clear title to the property, transferring the property into a newly formed Joint Venture special purpose vehicle as required by the Definitive Financing Agreement and obtaining the
necessary geological information to proceed with development of the property. If the Company is no able to obtain the required information and the transfer of title to the special purpose entity within the near term, the Company will most likely abandon its interests in the property and cancel the outstanding warrants.
On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. to convey to Gamma it’s 52% interest in a gold mining property in the Chita region of Russia previously granted under the agreement of September 20, 2010 and related agreements thereto.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On September 20, 2010, Spectral Capital Corporation entered into a Definitive Financing Agreement ("Agreement") with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. (“Gamma”) regarding the acquisition of a 47% undivided interest in two mineral properties in the Chita region of Russia. Under the Agreement, Spectral has agreed to invest a minimum of $35,000,000 into the development of the mineral properties over the next two years as follows: March 20, 2011 - $2,500,000; September 20, 2011 - $2,500,000; September 20, 2012 - $30,000,000, plus additional investments as determined by a Joint Venture Board that is to be formed under the terms and conditions of the
Agreement. Also, under the Agreement, Spectral must maintain a Market Capitalization Minimum as follows: Beginning 12 months from the date of this Agreement, Spectral will maintain a minimum market capitalization on the OTC Bulletin Board, AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE exchange of at least $100,000,000 based on thirty day trailing volume weighted average closing price ("VWAP") or it would owe Gamma an additional payment of $1,000,000 due within 90 days of the failure to achieve such a VWAP price. Such a minimum capitalization requirement will continue as long as any of Gamma's Warrants granted under the Warrant Agreement remain valid but unexercised. Spectral also granted a net smelter royalty of 2% on gold and 1% on other minerals extracted from the property to Gamma.
Gamma was also issued a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Spectral common stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00 for a term of five years. The warrant provides for a cashless exercise provision, provides anti-dilution protections to Gamma and provides penalties to Spectral for failure to promptly issue common shares under the exercised warrants.

Concurrently, the parties entered into a Joint Venture Agreement that specifies how the development of the mineral properties is to take place. Under the Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement, Spectral has agreed to provide all of the financing that the Joint Venture requires to develop the mineral properties. In the event that Spectral does not meet minimum financing covenants under the Agreement, Spectral's development payments would be converted to a five year, 5% interest bearing loan and Spectral will lose its interest in the mineral properties. In the event that Spectral does meet the minimum financing covenants, but fails to fully fund the
development of the mineral properties, Spectral would experience a reduction in its ownership.
On July 8, 2011 Spectral Capital Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Project Partnership and Financing Agreement ("Agreement") with representatives of the ROEL Group of companies based in Moscow, Russia to develop oil and gas projects in the Saratov Oblast of Russia. Under the terms of the Agreement and ancillary documents, Spectral has agreed to obtain financing necessary to pay all expenses related to the development of an oil and gas property in the Saratov Oblast of Russia, including immediate commitments to provide for financing of geological work, legal expenses and procurement expenses involved in having a license to the oil property issued to a newly constructed
special purpose corporate entity where the project license and assets will reside. The agreements give Spectral a 74% interest in the project for an initial financing commitment of $10,000,000 and a subsequent financing commitment that could be as much as $100,000,000 if the property meets relevant production and growth criteria. The partnership is also focused on the securing of additional oil and gas and gold properties in the region.
The Company leases office space under an operating lease that expired on October 31, 2011. The monthly rent is approximately $3,052. The lease agreement has been extended on a month-to-month agreement at the same monthly rent. Rent expense for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $28,609 and $645 respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We are an exploration stage, natural resources company focused on the identification, acquisition, development, financing and extraction of natural resources in regions with a recent history of significant natural resource production, primarily in areas of the former Soviet Union. We have been engaged in the natural resource field since August 2010. We had initially focused our efforts on gold and have since expanded our efforts to include oil and gas. We had initially acquired interests in two gold mining properties, one in the Chita Region of Russia and the other in the Bayankol River Region of Kazakhstan. Early stage natural resource
projects remain highly speculative and we may end up not pursuing a substantial number of the properties we acquire. We have since sold our interest in our Chita property once we discovered disappointing geological information provided by our retained third party experts. Subsequently, we formed a partnership with a Russian oil and gas development group to develop oil and gas fields in the Saratov region of Russia. Because we acquire projects that, although they often have extensive Soviet era data and indications of huge potential, are at a very early stage and often without existing production, many of these projects will not ultimately prove economically feasible to develop. We intend to maximize our potential returns investing cautiously in the development of our projects and continuously probing their viability. At the moment
we receive geological, post-closing due diligence information or results from further exploration that a project is not economically viable or is not likely to be sufficiently profitable based on current data, we cease development on the property and attempt to recover as much of our investment as possible. It is through this continuous evaluation, acquisition and careful investment strategy the Spectral can create enormous shareholder value over time, as the economic potential of one of our properties, if successfully improved through careful investment, often exceeds $500,000,000.
We continue to acquire interests in new properties and develop our existing properties. Although we do not have a historical track record in the development of natural resource properties, we have begun to assemble an appropriate management team that can help us to efficiently exploit these resources and identify other complimentary resources. We have also engaged industry-leading geological consultants and are in the process of continuing to engage such consultants to help us in the planning and development of these resources.
CORPORATE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 13, 2000 as an entertainment company. The company abandoned this line of business in March of 2004 and by certificate of amendment filed June 17, 2004, we changed our name to FUSA Capital Corporation.
On March 7, 2005 we entered into a certain plan and agreement of reorganization with FUSA Technology Investments Corp. ("FTIC"), a Nevada corporation engaged in the emerging growth field of audio and video search engine technology, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FTIC in addition to obtaining certain intellectual property concepts related to search engine technology as developed by FTIC and its principals. In March of 2005 we also entered into a 3 for one stock dividend payable to our shareholders.
From April, 2005 until September 2010, we were engaged continuously in the development and operation of consumer focused media search engine technologies and portals. We ceased this business in October, 2010.
On June 29, 2009, our Board of Directors resolved to amend the Articles of Incorporation pursuant to Nevada Revised Statues 78.207 to decrease the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $.0001, from 500,000,000 to 333,333 shares. Correspondingly, our Board of Directors affirmed a reverse split of one thousand and five hundred (1,500) to one (1) in which each shareholder was issued one (1) share in exchange for every one thousand and five hundred (1,500) common shares of their currently issued common stock. The record date for the reverse split was July 6, 2009.
On July 27, 2010, our shareholders voted to change our name to Spectral Capital Corporation and to increase number of shares of our authorized common stock from 333,333, par value $0.0001 to 500,000,000, par value $0.0001.
On August 18, 2010, we entered into a financing with a third party, Trafalgar Wealth Management. Under the terms of the financing, for aggregate consideration of $50,000 or $0.001 per common share, we sold 50,000,000 common shares and issued warrants to purchase 10,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Under the terms of the agreements, subject to certain terms and conditions, Trafalgar is obligated to exercise at least $1,000,000 worth of these warrants over the next 12 months or the warrants will be cancelled and the 50,000,000 common shares would subject to repurchase by the company at $0.001 per share. 50,000,000 shares
represents approximately 49.9% of our current issued and outstanding shares. We are in negotiations to extend the period of warrant exercise in exchange for an additional financing commitment and anticipate that such an extension will occur.
18
Pursuant to a notice of conversion by holders of our April 2009 promissory notes, we converted the outstanding of interest and principal under the notes, which was in excess of $50,000, for a settled amount of $50,000. Under the terms of the April 2009 note, we are required to convert these shares at the current financing price of $0.001 per share. Therefore, on August 18, 2010 we issued 50,000,000 shares to various holders of the April 2009 promissory notes, which represents 49.9% of our current issued and outstanding shares.
In September 2010, the Company purchased an initial 47% interest in mineral properties in the Chita region of the Russian Federation, which the company subsequently increased to 52%. On July 8, 2011,we entered into an agreement with Gamma Investment Holdings Ltd. to convey to Gamma our 52% interest in a gold mining property in the Chita region of Russia previously granted under the agreement of September 20, 2010 and related agreements thereto. The conveyance was in exchange for the cancellation of Gamma’s 5,000,000 outstanding warrants in the Company and the reimbursement of the Company by Gamma of all expenditures on the project to date. The company no longer
maintains any interest in the Chita properties.
In January, 2011, we purchased a 65% interest in mineral properties in the Bayankol River region of Kazakhstan (“Bayankol”) in exchange for a financing commitment to develop the property and the issuance of warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock. The financing commitment was contingent on certain events happening per the Definitive Financing Agreeement and related documents. Subsequent to entering into these agreements, the Company has had difficulty verifying clear title to the property, transferring the property into a newly formed Joint Venture special purpose vehicle as required by the Definitive Financing Agreement and obtaining
the necessary geological information to proceed with development of the property. If the Company is no able to obtain the required information and the transfer of title to the special purpose entity within the near term, the Company will most likely abandon its interests in the property and cancel the outstanding warrants.
On July 8, 2011 we entered into a Project Partnership and Financing Agreement ("Agreement") with representatives of the ROEL Group of companies based in Moscow, Russia to develop oil and gas projects in the Saratov Oblast of Russia. Under the terms of the Agreement and ancillary documents, we have agreed to obtain financing necessary to pay all expenses related to the development of an oil and gas property in the Saratov Oblast of Russia, including immediate commitments to provide for financing of geological work, legal expenses and procurement expenses involved in having a license to the oil property issued to a newly constructed special purpose corporate entity where the project
license and assets will reside. The agreements give us a 74% interest in the project for an initial financing commitment of $10,000,000 and a subsequent financing commitment that could be as much as $100,000,000 if the property meets relevant production and growth criteria. The partnership is also focused on the securing of additional oil and gas and gold properties in the region.
Because we acquire projects that, although they often have extensive Soviet era data and indications of huge potential, are at a very early stage and often without existing production, many of these projects will not ultimately prove economically feasible to develop. We intend to maximize our potential returns investing cautiously in the development of our projects and continuously probing their viability. At the moment we receive geological, post-closing due diligence information or results from further exploration that a project is not economically viable or is not likely to be sufficiently profitable based on current data, we cease development on the property and
attempt to recover as much of our investment as possible. It is through this continuous evaluation, acquisition and careful investment strategy the Spectral can create enormous shareholder value over time, as the economic potential of one of our properties, if successfully improved through careful investment, often exceeds $500,000,000. This necessarily means that a number of the projects that we acquire and invest in will not ultimately realize their potential and that our strategy for making incremental, careful investments and exiting properties aggressively when their initial promise is not realized through further exploration or other data is critical to producing these superior returns.
Resource extraction is an inherently uncertain enterprise. Although we remain very encouraged by the sheer quantity of potential extractable resources on our properties, we do not yet have a JORC or NI-43-101 compliant report from an appropriately qualified independent person that would validate the extent of minerals (“Qualified Report”) or the independent equivalent for our oil and gas project. We must rely for our internal planning, financing efforts and exploration efforts on Soviet era data on both properties and on more recent geological work that has not yet been completed to the extent that a Qualified Report can be prepared. It is possible
that we will discover significant economic or geological barriers to the extraction of these resources or that the geological and metalurgial information that we have relied upon to date may prove to be flawed in some fashion.
In addition, we have not yet completed the process of transferring, recording and perfecting title in our mineral or oil and gas projects in an appropriately formed special purpose vehicles constituted under local law as required by a our joint venture agreements and as necessary to secure the type of financing we intend to secure. We anticipate that this process will be completed for projects in our portfoilo during 2011, although Ministry of Natural Resources or other competent body final transfer approval could take longer than we currently anticipate.
We have also had significant challenges validating clear title and full-ownership in our Bayankol property due to the language, legal and information technology barriers that exist in the environments where we do business. We have engaged competent experts for this purpose. We anticipate that these challenges are temporary in nature and will be dealt with within the next 90 days.
19
We have also had difficulties with our Joint Venture Partner, Khan Tengri Goldberg, in our Bayankol Property. We attribute these difficulties to language and cultural barriers. We think that these difficulties are temporary and will be resolved shortly. However, we believe that if we have to select another Joint Venture Partner to develop the property with us, it will not be a material problem or cause any significant delay or additional expense in developing the property. We are interviewing competent local partners in the event that this contingency shall come to pass.
Our counterparty in this property, International Asset Holding Corporation, has provided us assurances, which we have validated with competent third parties, that we will successfully be able to receive transfer approval from the appropriate government entities and otherwise secure the license in the appropriate special purpose vehicle to facilitate financing. There are still some business barriers between the individuals holding title to Bayankol and our counterparty, but we have been assured that these business issues are resolvable, provided other geological information and market conditions continue to point to project viability.
There are also substantial environmental concerns related to the development of our Bayankol property. The property is also near a military base and close to the restricted Chinese border area, which has delayed and complicated our property access. At this point, we have serious doubts regarding the prospects of our Bayankol property and whether or not it could provide for the $500,000,000 plus in project value we seek. We are in the process of developing our next set of data on the project which will give us more insight on its continued potential and viability and expect to have such information prior to the end of the year. At that time, we will make the
decision as to whether to proceed with development of the property or to rescind our warrants and return our interest in the property to our partner.
Of course, there can be no assurance that either our Bayankol or Saratov projects will have valid licenses transferred to special purpose vehicles with appropriate ministry approval and clear, valid license title within the timeframe that we anticipate.
Ultimately, as is true with any company that invests in promising, early stage natural resource projects, a large proportion of the projects that we acquire may fail to realize their initial promise. This is why we minimize the investment required to achieve each significant value increment in project development, continuously evaluate our portfolio, terminate projects that fail to achieve required progress at each value increment and continuously acquire new projects. Over time, we believe that this model, because the potential upside of each project is so large and the incremental spending is controlled, will result in superior returns. Eventually, our
projects will require tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, but when they reach those milestones, our ownership interest will have substantial value and our shareholders will have benefitted accordingly and multiple avenues of financing are available for us to make such investments as appropriate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Our financial statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business. We have limited capital resources. In the period from February 9, 2005 (Date of Inception) to September 30, 2011, the Company generated $119,118 in revenues and posted a net loss of $7,581,980 resulting from costs of general and administrative expenses, website development stock compensation and interest expenses. The Company is considered an exploration stage company.
20
Cash and Working Capital
The Company's cash balance as of September 30, 2011 was $1,051,490, as compared to the cash balance of $1,448,229as of June 30, 2011.
Three month Period Ending September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 and from Inception to September 30, 2011
Operating expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 totaled $406,156, for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, $53,815 and from inception to the period ended September 30, 2011 totaled $8,107,254. The company experienced a net loss of $406,156, $52,380 and $7,998,787 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, September 30, 2010 and from inception to period ended September 30, 2011, respectively, against $0 in revenues from operations for the three month period ending September 30, 2011, $60 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and $119,118 in revenue from the period since inception. The major expenses during this three-month period were
for wages, general and administrative expenses, legal and accounting fees.
In a company like Spectral that does not yet produce revenue from its operations, quarter-to-quarter expense comparisons can be difficult, as the natural resources exploration business tends to involve seasonal expenditures. However, as there were no significant seasonal expenditures during the first nine months of 2011, it can be meaningful to compare operating expenses between the three-month period ending September 30, 2011 and the three-month period ending June 30, 2011, to assess the trajectory of operating expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ending September 30, 2011 were $406,156 and for the three months ending June 30, 2011, they were
$228,768. This means expenses increased by $177,388 or 77% during the quarter. We believe that this increase is attributable to expenses related to the Company’s project in Saratov, Russia as well as travel and other expenses related to the company’s ongoing efforts to finance its continued growth and expenses related to the evaluation of new acquisition opportunities. Costs would be higher, but for management’s continued efforts to streamline costs, extract service provider discounts and control expenses. Although management anticipates that we will end up spending several million dollars on exploration related expenses in the next 24 months, management’s ability to contain operating expense growth relative to the worldwide financing, acquisition and exploration activities the company is undertaking maximizes the company’s
ability to make exploration expenditures when appropriate.
There are no significant revenues due to the fact that our mineral properties are not yet in production. There is no comparable period because we were winding down our technology business in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and did not yet have any natural resource properties in development, which is why we have included the above expense comparison to the expenses of the quarter ending June 30, 2011.
The earnings per share (fully diluted -- weighted average) consisted of a net loss of $0.00 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 and $0.01 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, which reflects our 1500 to 1 reverse split as of the record date of July 6, 2009 and subsequent share issuances.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities, consisting mostly of loss from operations was $942,261. For the period from inception to September 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities, consisting mostly of loss from operations net of non-cash compensation, was $4,249,358.
For the period from inception to September 30, 2011, net cash resulting from financing activities was in the amount of $5,354,851. We did not conduct a financing during the six-month period ending September 30, 2011.
Our capital resources are sufficient to meet our current operating needs for the next 12 months or longer, however we will not be able to grow our natural resources properties as we desire to make targeted acquisitions without raising additional funds. We do not are not currently and will not in the foreseeable future generate any revenue, and to date have relied on the sale of equity securities and the exercise of warrants to fund our operations.
21
Future Financings
We anticipate that we will pursue additional financing and that the financing would be an equity financing achieved through the sale of our common stock or the sale of debt securities based on the earning potential of our mineral resources. We do not have any arrangement in place for any debt or equity financing except for the outstanding warrants we have issued. These warrants could yield a total of $9,850,000 in financing for the company and the investor is required to exercise at least $1,000,000 in warrants by August 17, 2011 or the Company has the right to repurchase the common stock held by the investor. We have given an extension to these investors until December
31, 2011 while we negotiate an additional financing commitment. If we are successful in completing the exercise of the warrants or any other equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Significant Contingencies
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. In order to develop and finance our natural resource properties, we will need to have the licenses for these properties transferred into an appropriate special purpose vehicle formed for such a transfer. The transfer must also be approved by the appropriate governmental body. It is unlikely that we would be able to enforce our rights to exploit the natural resource properties in the event of a dispute under local law until the license is transferred. Additionally, we do not have modern, NI 43-101 or JORC qualified geological data or equivalents on our properties and the
assumptions we have made regarding the economic feasibility of natural resource extraction on our properties may need to be revised once such reports become available. This could have a material negative or positive impact on our prospects.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We are a diversified, early stage natural resource company. We have acquired and intend to acquire a portfolio of early stage natural resource projects, primarily in the former Soviet Union. We seek a balance between projects that are completely green-field, exploration stage projects and those where there is a small amount of initial production or significant historical production that validates the resource. We are particularly interested in properties that have extensive Soviet-era data. This data cost the Soviet Union millions of dollars to compile and we have found it to be generally reliable and relatively easy to convert into modern JORC
or NI 43-101 compliant reports. This data helps us to select projects appropriately and minimize our risk. We seek projects that generally have at least $500,000,000 in potential value, extensive Soviet Era data, can be improved significantly and advanced to the next value increment for a modest investment relative to their potential and whose significant cash needs, those in excess of $10,000,000 are financeable by our partner institutions once initial value increments have been satisfied. We seek majority control of these projects, a clear environmental, legal and regulatory path forward and a license properly transferred to a clean, special purpose vehicle that we control.
We intend to acquire a number of these properties over the next six to twelve months. Some of these properties will fail to live up to their promise. We will expend a modest amount of money on them and receive back data that is sub-optimal. At that point, we will terminate our ownership of the project and attempt to either make a small profit on our investment to date or at least recover our invested costs. This may not always be possible, so we keep the early stage investments to a minimum due to the possibility of losing such investment. Once a property has been successfully advanced to the next value increment or value increments
through the careful and judicious application of capital and our network of geological and exploration resources, we will secure significant additional financing for the property, which can easily run into the tens of millions of dollars or more. At this point, once such financing has been secured, it may make sense for Spectral to spin off these properties into a separate public company or partner with a public company or industry partner to develop the projects to production. It is possible that an asset we acquire will prove to be so attractive that we would want to build the native capability within our organization to take such a project to full-scale production. We do not have such a capability now, but could develop it in the future for the right project. Given that we risk minimal capital at each stage of the project development cycle,
have potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in upside if our early stage efforts are successful and given the diverse portfolio of projects we are acquiring, we think that Spectral’s operating plan is a provides a roadmap for superior shareholder value.
Although we have developed our plan broadly, as articulated in the preceding paragraphs, over the next six to twelve months we intend to raise and expend significant resources on the development of our natural resource properties and develop more specific and detailed plans based on newly acquired assets as we build our project portfolio. We are in the process of developing a full business plan for the development of these resources over a five-year period and will continue to develop this plan as we acquire additional projects. We believe that we will make significant progress developing our portfolio and seeking additional financing over the next six to twelve
months.
We also anticipate spending significant amounts of money related to development of our natural resource properties. We anticipate our largest expenses will be geological exploration, equipment and surveys, administrative, legal and accounting expenses, and salaries.
22
Our twelve-month plan requires us to accomplish the following steps:
• Obtaining substantial financing necessary to develop our natural resource properties;
• Securing required environmental and governmental permits to begin exploration on the properties;
• Extensive surveying and sampling to verify the extent of the resources, including drilling on our oil and gas projects;
• Aggressively Acquiring additional natural resource properties in the former Soviet Union
• Initial development of the resources as part of a comprehensive five year plan; and
• Seek out additional partners and business opportunities that will help us to increase revenues or build assets.
Foreign Currency and Credit Risk. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company’s reporting currency is the US Dollar. We do undertake mineral development activities in Russia and Kazakhstan and financial and consultative activities in Europe, which involve transactions in the Ruble, Tenge,and Euro respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including prepaid expenses, related party receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). As a result of this evaluation, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009. Accordingly, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not
effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of the deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
The material weaknesses identified in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 were related to a lack of an accounting staff resulting in a lack of segregation of duties and accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
