NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
PLACER
GOLD CORP. (hereinafter "The Company") was incorporated on August 23, 2004 under
the laws of the State of Nevada as Bulldog Financial Inc., for any
lawful business. The principal business of the Company is natural resources
exploration and development.
Renewable
Energy Focus For 2010
While the
Company continues to seek alluvial gold projects to bring into production, its
primary focus in 2010 is to secure strategic equity positions in large-scale
wind energy leases and bring one or more of them into production, using
off-balance-sheet government government-backed commercial project financing and
grants wherever possible.
The
Company is in the development stage and as of NOVEMBER 30, 2009 had not
realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company's year-end is May
31.
The
foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Regulation S-B as promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do
not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2007. In the
opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished
herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
Operating results for the six-month period ending November 30, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
August 31, 2010.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This
summary of significant accounting policies of PLACER GOLD CORP. is presented to
assist in understanding the Company' s financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company' s management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies
conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Going
Concern
As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $638,952 incurred through NOVEMBER 30, 2009. The Company
has no revenues, limited cash, and negative working capital. Management has
established plans to begin generating revenues and decrease debt. Management
intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that
will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully
implement its business plan. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the
factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event
the Company cannot continue in existence. The Company anticipates that it will
need $200,000 to continue in existence for the following twelve months. The
Company expects to be able to control its cash outflows for contracts purchased
based upon funds received.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities
with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the
use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term
measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement
is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins
after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has
not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the
Company's financial condition or results of operation.
In
September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)" (hereinafter " SFAS No. 158"). This statement
requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded statues of a
defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an
asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets
of a not for profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to
measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of
financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have a significant material immediate effect on its
financial position or results of operations.
Use of
Estimates
The
process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly,
upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated
amounts.
F-5
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND
EQUIPMENT: Property and
equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The useful life of property and equipment for purposes of computing
depreciation is three years. The following is a summary of property, equipment,
and accumulated depreciation:

The
Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and
circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company
determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated
to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and
betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold
or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in results of operations.
Long-lived Assets:
The company has adopted the policies of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets". This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations, and
requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
operations or discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company reviews the
carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment where events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The
determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future
cash flows anticipated to be generated during the remaining life of the assets
to the net carrying value of the asset.
The
Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares
have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting
rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the
common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the
Company. The Company is also authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. None of the preferred shares have been issued.

At
November 30, 2008, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an
expected rate of 34% of approximately 438,515, principally arising from net
operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes. As management of the
Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will
realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal
to the net deferred tax asset has been established at February 28, 2008. The
significant components of the deferred tax asset at November 30,2008, and
November 30, 2009 were as follows:
At
November 30, 2009 the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $438,515, which begin to expire in the year 2024. The change in

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We were
incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 23, 2004. We have started
operations. We have not generated revenues from operations, but must be
considered a start-up business. Our statutory registered agent in Nevada: The
Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road Suite 500, Reno, Nevada
89511 From the proceeds of our offering, we subleased office space to commence
operations. Our telephone number is (323)-356-7777.
On May
25, 2006, we completed our public offering by selling 3,862,500 shares at $0.02
per share, totaling $77,250. We began our operations as described in the
business section of our registration statement during June 2006.
On June
22, 2007, our shareholders approved increasing our authorized shares of common
stock to 200,000,000; effecting a five-for-one forward stock split (pro-rata
increase) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock; and, amending
our Articles of Incorporation to create a class of blank check preferred stock
with 20,000,000 shares authorized. Under the forward stock split, each one share
of the our common stock was converted automatically into five shares of common
stock. The effective date of the forward stock split was July 23,
2007.
On

Consortium Management Corp., a Nevada Corporation, Strategic Nine Corporation,
also a Nevada Corporation and Sterling Oil and Gas (NZ), a New Zealand
Corporation, pursuant to which it acquired a thirty percent interest
in certain oil and gas claims as set forth in the agreement. These
claims arise from a joint filing made, on May 9, 2006, by United, Strategic and
Sterling with the United Nations General Assembly and the countries of Canada,
Russia, United States of America, Norway and Denmark. The filing
claims, as a responsible oil and gas development agent of the “common heritage
of mankind”, the sole and exclusive exploitation, development, marketing and
extraction rights to the oil and gas resources of the sea floor and subsurface
contained in the entire Arctic Ocean Common area beyond the exclusive economic
zone of the Arctic Ocean’s surrounding countries (the “Arctic
Claims”).

Claims, Arctic agreed to issue 1,750,000 restricted Common shares to United in
its own right and as agents for Strategic and Sterling, or their
assignees.

treasury of Arctic for cancellation as registered direct holding. By
Agreement dated as of November 26, 2007, Arctic cancelled the
shares. Following the cancellation there were 6,862,000 shares
outstanding.

common stock to 500,000,000; effecting a twenty for-one forward stock split

Mining Corporation’s attorneys confirming that Concha Holdings no longer has
Rights to the Bear Creek property. Accordingly PGCR no longer has
interests in the Bear Creek Alaska Gold Claims.
RENEWABLE
WIND ENERGY
Focus For 2010: While the
Company continues to seek alluvial gold projects to bring into production, its
primary focus in 2010 is to secure strategic equity positions in large-scale
wind energy leases and bring one or more of them into production, using
off-balance-sheet government government-backed commercial project
financing and grants wherever possible.
On
September 30th 2009,
the Company acquired strategic 20% equity interests in a Joint Venture which has
interests in an expanding number of large-scale Wind Power Project
proposals. The successful development of any one of the wind power
projects proposed by the Wind JV would catapult the company into a major green
energy producer.
The
proposed wind power projects would utilize revolutionary next-generation patent
accelerating wind turbine designs, which promises a 300-400% increase in
electricity power output per unit of capital, thus lowering future wind energy
costs to the lowest cost clean power system on the planet. The large quantities
of available global wind resources, if developed using the new turbine, could
enable the entire world population to enjoy forever, low-cost renewable
energy.
The
company acquired an initial 20% interest in two large proposed coastal wind
power projects in the Eastern Seaboard of the US from Zero Carbon Wind Energy
Corp. The Wind JV Agreement also allowed the company to participate
as a 10% equity partner in future Wind JV additional future wind power projects
at no additional cost. Consideration was the issuance of 80 million
restricted shares and payment of a 50% share of nominal preliminary
expenses.
Since the
JV agreement was consummated the Company has participated as 10% strategic
partner in a number of high-level project proposals lodged for super-giant,
potentially nation-changing wind power projects in the US Great Lakes,
Canada-Maritimes, France, UK., Ireland and Denmark. More proposals are expected
to follow in 2010. The JV anticipates eventually developing at least one of the
projects proposed.
Individual
Wind power project proposals are typically for a number of modules of 10,000
Megawatts each, to be built over a twenty five year timeline.
Potential
clean energy revenues of up to $1 billion per year could accrue to PGCR’s
10%-20% equity for each one of the projects if completed.
The
Company and partners plan to secure 30% clean energy US government capital grant
and loan guarantees to finance up to 100% of the US Great Lakes and other
proposed wind US projects construction costs.
Turbine
development government grant funding has now been applied for in various
jurisdictions.

All the
millions of electric vehicles planned to replace the fossil fuel fleets of the
world will need new sources of clean electricity. The Wind JV is the only group
that has the clean renewable power plans large enough in scale to supply all of
the future electric vehicles with clean, affordable, renewable
electricity.

Plan
of Operations
This
section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that
reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like:
believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions,
or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place
undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the
date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or our predictions.
Knowing
that the world is entering a prolonged era of increasing fossil-fuel energy
insecurity, concerns about fossil fuels pollution and higher energy prices, the
Company and partners have embarked on an ambitious effort to locate and bring
new very-large-scale indigenous-sourced, renewable energy wind electricity
resources to the US and a number of other countries.
The
Company is focusing on rapid growth as a renewable energy development company
via its access to a new 400% more capital-efficient, patent accelerating wind
power turbine and large-scale wind power projects joint venture with the private
company, Zero Carbon Wind Energy Corp.
GREAT
LAKES WIND; The Company and Wind JV partners believe that it is the only group
with viable commercial plans to develop the slower-speed Great Lakes wind
resources using next-generation accelerating wind turbines, as existing
lower-technology wind turbines would make so little electricity as to be
uneconomic without massive consumer subsidies.
ACCELERATING
WIND TURBINE DEVELOPMENT; The Wind JV is opening a California wind
power research facility in 2010 to optimize the JV’s new accelerating wind
turbine design and demonstrate scale models to governments, financiers and
potential technology partners.
POTENTIAL
GOVERNMENT GRANTS; The JV has made technology grant
applications in a number of States and anticipates procuring turbine development
funding from one or more of these sources in 2010.
We are an
emerging resources exploration and renewable energy development corporation and
have begun commercial operations but have not yet generated revenues from our
business operations and do not expect to do so for some time.
Our
previous auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our
previous auditors believed there was substantial doubt that we could continue as
an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtained additional
capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues
from projects development. We anticipate securing new auditors
shortly.
We cannot
guarantee that we will stay in business. We will either have to suspend
operations until we raise additional cash, or cease operations
entirely.
5
We do not
have sufficient cash to satisfy our nominal cash requirements during the next
twelve months. We have relied upon and will continue to rely upon loans and
investments from qualified private investors. We will be conducting wind turbine
product research and development in partnership with others and possibly via
Government grants. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed
basis.
We intend
to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
1)
|
We
will raise the nominal additional working capital via share issues and-or
borrowings .
|
2)
|
We
will pursue securing wind power project leases in North America and around
the world.
|
3)
|
We
will pursue new wind turbine
developments.
|
4)
|
We
will pursue potential strategic major independent electrical utility or
energy companies company partners for each of the wind power project
proposals we are partners in.
|
If we
cannot generate sufficient capital to continue operations, we will temporarily
suspend or cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will
do and we do not have any plans to do anything else. If this occurs, you will
lose all of your investment.
Limited
operating history; need for additional capital
There is
no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of
our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any
revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations.
Our business is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas exploration
business, including political risks associated with wind energy and energy
prices, market price variations for competing oil and gas energy supplies,
limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost
increases in services and products.
We have
no assurance that future exploration-development financing will be
available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on
satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our
operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing
shareholders.

Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, " The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 159" ). This statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair
value measurement, which is consistent with the Board' s long-term measurement
objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective
as of the beginning of an entity' s first fiscal year that begins after November
15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined
the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company' s financial
condition or results of operation.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, " Employers' Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)" (hereinafter " SFAS No. 158" ). This statement
requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded statues of a
defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an
asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets
of a not for profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to
measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of
financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have a significant material immediate effect on its
financial position or results of operations.
Critical
accounting policies and estimates
Management
has reviewed the financial statement disclosures for the list of the most
important accounting policies that the Company has. Management feels that the
accounting policies that are estimate based, fair value, and revenue recognition
are the most important accounting policies that the Company has.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including the
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures
are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
