CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The mineral estimates in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.  The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.  “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility.  It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.  Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.


GLOSSARY OF MINING TERMS

We estimate and report our resources and we will estimate and report our reserves according to the definitions set forth in NI 43-101.  We will modify and reconcile the reserves as appropriate to conform to SEC Industry Guide 7 for reporting in the U.S.  The definitions for each reporting standard are presented below with supplementary explanation and descriptions of the parallels and differences.

NI 43-101 Definitions
 
indicated mineral resource
The term “indicated mineral resource” refers to that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be established with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
   
Inferred mineral resource
The term “inferred mineral resource” refers to that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
   
Measured mineral resource
The term “measured mineral resource” refers to that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.
   
Mineral reserve
The term “mineral reserve” refers to the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. The study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that might occur when the material is mined.
   
Mineral resource
The term “mineral resource” refers to a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.
   
Opt
Troy ounce per ton
   
Probable mineral reserve
The term “probable mineral reserve” refers to the economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances a measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.

 
Proven mineral reserve1
The term “proven mineral reserve” refers to the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study.
   
Qualified person2
The term “qualified person” refers to an individual who is an engineer or geoscientist with at least five years of experience in mineral exploration, mine development, production activities and project assessment, or any combination thereof, including experience relevant to the subject matter of the project or report and is a member in good standing of a self-regulating organization.

SEC Industry Guide 7 Definitions

Exploration stage
An “exploration stage” prospect is one, which is not in either the development or production stage.
   
Development stage
A “development stage” project is one which is undergoing preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit for its extraction but which is not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility study.
   
Mineralized material
The term “mineralized material” refers to material that is not included in the reserve, as it does not meet all of the criteria for adequate demonstration for economic or legal extraction.
   
Probable reserve
The term “probable reserve” refers to reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
   
Production stage
A “production stage” project is actively engaged in the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product.
   
Proven reserve
The term “proven reserve” refers to reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.
   
Reserve
The term “reserve” refers to that part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves must be supported by a feasibility study done to bankable standards that demonstrates the economic extraction. (“Bankable standards” implies that the confidence attached to the costs and achievements developed in the study is sufficient for the project to be eligible for external debt financing.) A reserve includes adjustments to the in-situ tonnes and grade to include diluting materials and allowances for losses that might occur when the material is mined.
 
1 For Industry Guide 7 purposes this study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction is justified.
 
2 Industry Guide 7 does not require designation of a qualified person.

PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Corporate History

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant” or “Dutch Gold”) was incorporated in Colorado on October 13, 1989 as Ogden, McDonald & Company for the purpose of seeking out acquisitions of properties, businesses, or merger candidates, without limitation as to the nature of the business operations or geographic location of the acquisition candidate. On July 22, 1996, Ogden, McDonald & Company completed a transaction pursuant to which the shareholders of Worldwide PetroMoly Corporation, a Texas corporation, acquired approximately 90.6% of the shares outstanding in Ogden, McDonald & Company, and Worldwide PetroMoly Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ogden, McDonald & Company. On October 11, 1996, Ogden, McDonald & Company changed its name to Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc. From July 22, 1996, until June 1, 2001, through Worldwide PetroMoly we engaged in the business of manufacturing, marketing and distributing a line of molybdenum-fortified lubricant products called PetroMoly™, an engine oil additive designed to enhance and maintain engines.

On June 1, 2001, we consummated a transaction in which Small Town Radio, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Small Town Georgia"), was merged into a subsidiary of our Company created for the purpose of this merger. Pursuant to this transaction, all of the outstanding shares of Small Town Georgia were exchanged for shares of our common stock par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). In connection with our acquisition of Small Town Georgia, on June 7, 2001 we sold all of the share capital of Worldwide PetroMoly to Mr. Gilbert Gertner, our former Chairman of the Board.

On May 23, 2002, Small Town Georgia was renamed "Small Town Radio of Georgia" in preparation for our reincorporation as a Nevada corporation. On May 28, 2002, Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc. was merged with and into Small Town Radio, Inc., a newly created Nevada corporation, in an incorporation merger. Under our new name, "Small Town Radio, Inc.," the focus of our business is now the acquisition and operation of radio stations, generally located in small, non-rated markets.

On May 18, 2003, Small Town Radio, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Small Town Radio of Georgia, Inc., filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case Nos. 03-67044 and 03-67043, respectively).  The Company remained as a debtor-in-possession. The United States Trustee filed a Second Motion to Dismiss the case in March 2004.  Without objection from the Company, the case was dismissed April 29, 2004.

Entry into the Natural Resources Industry

Thereafter, the Company subsequently refocused to become a natural resources company and changed its name to Tombstone Western Resources, Inc. on May 1, 2006. On December 7, 2006 the Company changed its name to Dutch Gold Resources, Inc.

On January 16, 2007, the Registrant consummated the terms of its Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dutch Mining, LLC (“Dutch Mining”) whereby the Registrant issued 24,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Dutch Mining equity holders and their designees in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Dutch Mining (the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange, Dutch Mining became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant and the Registrant had a total of 30,256,144 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  In accordance with the Exchange, the Registrant elected Ewald Dienhart as Chairman of the Board of Directors.


Business of Registrant

Overview

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. is a junior mining company focused in North America.  The Company’s mission is to become a recognized gold producer within two years.  A key to this plan is the acquisition of late stage exploration and development projects that can be quickly advanced to production. Our objective is to focus on low-risk and proven reserves that will be economical and profitable for the shareholders of DGRI.
 
We are reviewing engineering and feasibility studies of the Benton Mine. The Benton Mine in Southern Oregon, which had been in test production, is now in a care and maintenance program.  The Company commissioned a drilling program, the results of which are being used as the basis to form a long-term mining plan.
 
Operating Strategy

Our business strategy is to acquire and develop gold properties in North America. To achieve these goals, we intend to:

optimize production of the Benton mine;

upgrade the resource and mining operations at the Benton mine; and

to acquire such additional projects and properties that fit the company’s acquisition profile.

Source of Revenue

The Company sells gold concentrates and ore to buyers throughout the world.  The company’s revenue fluctuates as a function of the spot price of gold and the amount of gold that is produced from its properties. The Company expects limited production from the Benton mine and limited revenues throughout the year.

Employee Relations

As of December 31, 2008, we had 9 employees, including 4 employees at our principal executive office in Helena, Montana and 1 employee based in Nevada.

Reclamation

We generally are required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, re-sloping and revegetating various portions of a site after mining and mineral processing operations are completed. These reclamation efforts are conducted in accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies.

Government Regulation

Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the United States, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We have obtained or have pending applications for those licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct our exploration and other programs. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed thereunder in the United States. There are no current orders or directions relating to us with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations. For a more detailed discussion of the various government laws and regulations applicable to our operations and potential negative affects of these laws and regulations please see "Item 1A.—Risk Factors" below.


Environmental Regulation

Our gold projects are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. Our policy is to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our operations are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Changes to current local, state or federal laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.

During 2008, there were no material environmental incidents or material non-compliance with any applicable environmental regulations. We estimate that we will not incur material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities during the current fiscal year.

Gold Price History

The price of gold is volatile and is affected by numerous factors all of which are beyond our control such as the sale or purchase of gold by various central banks and financial institutions, inflation, recession, fluctuation in the relative values of the US dollar and foreign currencies, changes in global and regional gold demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold-producing countries throughout the world.

The following table presents the high, low and average afternoon fixed prices in U.S. dollars for gold per ounce on the London Bullion Market over the past five years:

2009 (to March 27)
    968       810       908  

Seasonality

Seasonality in Oregon, Montana and Nevada is not a material factor to the Company for its projects.  Certain surface exploration work may need to be conducted when there is no snow but it is not a significant issue for the Company.

Competition

We compete with major mining companies and other natural mineral resource companies in the acquisition, exploration, financing and development of new prospects.  Many of these companies are larger and better capitalized than we are. There is significant competition for the limited number of gold acquisition and exploration opportunities. Our competitive position depends upon our ability to successfully and economically explore, acquire and develop new and existing mineral prospects. Factors that allow producers to remain competitive in the market over the long term include the quality and size of their ore bodies, costs of operation, and the acquisition and retention of qualified employees. We also compete with other mining companies for skilled mining engineers, mine and processing plant operators and mechanics, geologists, geophysicists and other technical personnel. This could result in higher turnover and greater labor costs.

Employees.

The Company employed nine employees as of December 31, 2008.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

Risk Factors

Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent public accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 financial statements. Our independent public accountants have advised us that our continuance as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise capital. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient capital or generate sufficient cash from operations to continue as a going concern.

Because of our limited operations and the fact that we are currently generating limited revenue, we may be unable to service our debt obligations.

We currently have approximately $2,514,926 in debt pursuant to promissory notes issued by us. We are presently unable to meet our interest obligations in the amount of $420,415 under these notes. We are also trying to secure additional debt and equity financing. Our ability to satisfy our current debt service obligations, and any additional obligations we might incur will depend upon our future financial and operating performance, which, in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources continue to be insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay planned acquisitions, expansion and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional equity capital or restructure our debt. We cannot assure you that our operating results, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for payment of our debt service and other obligations in the future.

If we lose our key personnel, we may be unable to successfully execute our business plan; because we currently only have one employee, he may be unable to successfully manage the business.

Our business is presently managed by a key employee, Chief Executive Officer, Daniel W. Hollis. If we lose Mr. Hollis, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations, and our ability to execute our business plan might be negatively impacted. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Hollis, which include provisions restricting his ability to use our confidential information should he leave the company. However, Mr. Hollis may leave the company if he chooses to do so, and we cannot guarantee that he will not choose to do so, or that we would be able to hire similarly qualified executives if he should choose to leave.

Because our common stock is quoted on the "OTC Pink Sheets," your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets. Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted and traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange.

Because our shares are "penny stocks," you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market.

Federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulate the trading of so-called "penny stocks," which are generally defined as any security not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, priced at less than $5.00 per share and offered by an issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. Since our common stock currently is quoted on the Pink Sheets at less than $5.00 per share, our shares are "penny stocks" and may not be quoted unless a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential purchaser prior to any trade.

In addition, because our common stock is not listed on NASDAQ or any national securities exchange and currently is quoted at and trades at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a "penny stock," which steps include:


 
obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;
 
obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and
 
providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares.

If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our common stock and our shareholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling their shares in the secondary trading market.

The requirements of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley act may strain our resources and distract management.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The costs associated with these requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Historically, as a private company we have maintained a small accounting staff, but in order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant additional resources and management oversight will be required. This includes, among other things, retaining independent public accountants. This effort may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may need to hire additional accounting and financial persons with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion.

It is our policy not to pay dividends.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, for use in our business and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Existing shareholders may face dilution from our financing efforts.

We are dependent on raising capital from external sources to execute our business plan. We plan to issue debt securities, capital stock, or a combination of these securities. We may not be able to sell these securities, particularly under the current market conditions. Even if we are successful in finding buyers for our securities, the buyers could demand high interest rates or require us to agree to onerous operating covenants, which could in turn harm our ability to operate our business by reducing our cash flow and restricting our operating activities. If we were to sell our capital stock, we might be forced to sell shares at a depressed market price, which could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. In addition, any shares of capital stock we may issue may have rights, privileges, and preferences superior to those of our common shareholders.

Our future earnings may be adversely affected because of charges resulting from acquisitions, or an acquisition could reduce shareholder value.

We may be required to amortize, over a period of years, certain identifiable intangible assets. The resulting amortization expense could reduce our overall net income and earnings per share. Changes in future markets or technologies may require us to amortize intangible assets faster and in such a way that our overall financial condition or results of operations are harmed. If changes in economic and/or business conditions cause impairment of goodwill and other intangibles acquired by acquisition, it is likely that a significant charge against our earnings would result. If economic and/or business conditions did not improve, we could incur additional impairment charges against any earnings we might have in the future. An acquired business could reduce shareholder value if it should generate a net loss or require invested capital.


ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

We currently lease approximately 160 square feet of space in Atlanta, Georgia for our corporate office and operations on a month-to-month basis. Our monthly rental charge for these offices is approximately $1,350 per month. We believe that these offices generally are adequate for our current needs and our needs in the immediate future.

The company’s operating headquarters are based in Grants Pass, Oregon where the Company maintains administrative offices, its milling operations and equipment garage for equipment used in the production of gold.

The Company leases the Benton Mine, near Grants Pass, OR and has operational facilities at that location.  The Company owns the adjacent Gold Bug Mine, which was last operated in 1941.

Benton Mine

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. owns the lease of the Benton Mine consisting of 24 gold mining claims on 480 acres; which are all in good standing including eight patented claims and 16 claims located on US Forest Service Land. Dutch Gold also owns the adjacent Gold Bug Mine on 110 acres with 5.5 patented claims. Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. acquired these interests in a share exchange agreement with Dutch Mining, LLC. The mines are located near Grants Pass, OR.

The Benton Mine was the largest gold mine in southwest Oregon during the late 1930’s. It was founded in 1893 and was the largest underground mine in Oregon. The Benton Mine is an advanced stage development and production project with a substantial investment already made in recent exploration and development that has started delivering gold concentrate in 2007. Dutch Gold recently completed the construction and fine tuning of its ore mill. This is the only permitted, commercial scale mill in Oregon.

From 1994 to 1996, Dutch Mining LLC worked to explore and develop the Benton Mine and undertook a baseline study for all the necessary permits to operate the mine and build an ore mill to produce gold ore concentrate. While mining the known ore bodies, the Company feels there is also the potential to significantly upgrade the resource base of the Benton Mine by drilling out areas untapped by historic mining and drilling. In January of 2005, Dutch Mining LLC reopened the Benton Mine and performed a full rehabilitation of the mine, and built a new gold ore mill to process 330 tons of ore per day which can be increased to 450 tons as needed.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

At December 31, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Dutch Mining, LLC, is subject to two labor proceedings with former employees, Quimby v. Dutch Mining LLC and Tellez v. Dutch Mining, LLC.  Each of these actions has been settled as of the date of this filing.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included   elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.


GOING CONCERN

In connection with their audit report on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008, Gruber & Company, our independent certified public accountants, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because such continuance is dependent upon our ability to raise capital.

We have explored, and continue to explore, all avenues possible to raise the funds required. We have limited revenue-producing activity. We also need capital to fund overhead and administrative costs as well as transaction expenses. At December 31, 2008, accounts payable to vendors totaled $1,217,256. At December 31, 2008, our cash requirement was approximately $50,000 per month. We have met our operating costs to date through the sale of gold, equity and debt financing from our shareholders and other investors; however, there can be no assurance that our shareholders and other investors will be able or willing to make additional investments in the future to fund continued operations.

The Company requires further funding to continue to develop its mines and fund corporate overheads.  Although we believe that there is a reasonable basis to believe that we will successfully raise the needed funds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to sustain operations or that we will be able to achieve, or maintain, a level of profitability sufficient to meet the operating expenses of the operations and corporate overheads.

Cash Flow

We have a working capital deficit of $2,740,046 at December 31, 2008 compared to a deficit of $642,787 at December 31, 2007.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, operations used $2,120,087 of cash. Financing activities provided $2,158,458 during the period and consisted mainly of proceeds from sale of common stock and issuance of convertible debentures. We expect to continue to have operating cash flow deficiencies for the near term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently have limited sources of capital, including the public and private placement of equity securities and the possibility of debt. With limited liquid assets and depreciating fixed assets the availability of funds from traditional sources of debt will be limited, and we cannot assure you that there will be a source of funds in the future.

As of December 31, 2008, we had a cash overdraft balance of $1,063. We estimate that, based upon our current business, we will require up to $4,000,000 over the next two years. The estimated funding required for the first year of our business is $3,000,000.  However, the Company cannot properly anticipate the capital expenditures and working capital needed in connection with the operations of the Benton Mine.   Due to difficulties in the capital markets as a result of the credit crisis that began with the liquidation of Bear Stearns, Inc., the Company has taken steps to reduce its cash requirements, resulting in a furlough of the mining operations personnel, and a temporary halt to production in the Benton Mine.

Our independent certified public accountants stated in their report dated January 28, 2010 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 that we have incurred operating losses from our inception and that we are dependent upon our ability to meet our future financing requirements, and the success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Operations Outlook

We do not currently have funds sufficient to carry out any of our operations at the Benton mine without raising additional capital. While the spot price of gold has been trending upward and appears to be strong, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flow, given the needs for capital expenditures and working capital.  In order to act upon our operating plan discussed herein, we must be able to raise sufficient funds from (i) debt financing; or, (ii) new investments from private investors. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain debt or equity financing or generate sufficient revenue to produce positive cash flow from operations. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations.  If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our exploration activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

The operating loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $4,140,727, an increase of $2,174,993 over the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $628,669 as compared to $3,102,376 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interest expense and financing costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 were $616,740 as compared to $336,163 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.  The total loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $4,602,863 as compared to $1,614,897 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

A.  On July 10, 2008, the Company dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. (“Chadwick”).

B.  The report of Chadwick for the years ending June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than going concern.

C.  The decision to change accountants was approved by the Company's board of directors on July 10, 2008 and on such date DeJoya Griffith & Company, LLC (“DGC”) was engaged as the Company's new independent registered public accountants. The Company did not consult DGC regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B.

D.  During the Company's most recent fiscal year, there were no disagreements with Chadwick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Chadwick, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports. There were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B.


E.  The Company has made the contents of its Form 8-K available to Chadwick and requested it to furnish a letter to the Commission as to whether Chadwick agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify the Company's expression of their views.

New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The Registrant has engaged DGC as its new independent certified public accounting firm to audit the Registrant’s financial statements July 10, 2008. Prior to such engagement, the Registrant did not consult such firm on any of the matters referenced in Regulation S-B Item 304(a)(2).

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our Chief Executive and Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of other members of management, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Dutch Gold Resources. Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008. Dutch Gold Resources' management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 10. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (DGRI.PK) is a junior gold miner, experienced in the exploration, development and production of gold properties, through the production stage. Its first project was an advanced development and production stage mine system located in Southern Oregon. The geology of this mine is unique to this part of the United States. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

On January 7, 2007, the Registrant consummated the terms of its Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dutch Mining, LLC (“Dutch Mining”) whereby the Registrant issued 24,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to the Dutch Mining equity holders and their designees in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Dutch Mining (the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange, Dutch Mining became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant and the Registrant had a total of 30,256,144 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  In accordance with the Exchange, the Registrant elected Ewald Dienhart as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Immediately following the consummation of this transaction the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to several parties holding notes with Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. Subsequent to this transaction, all notes payable for Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. were extinguished and the only remaining notes were the ones acquired in the Dutch Mining, LLC transaction.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ accounts (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has adopted a year-end of December 31.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND START-UP EXPENSES

The Company has expensed all organizational and start-up expenses for financial reporting purposes.


DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.
(Formerly SMALL TOWN RADIO, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions of future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those reported.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. As at the reporting dates, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash only.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collect ability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of average costs incurred or estimated net realizable value. Major types of inventories include materials and supplies and metals product inventory, which is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process (stockpiled ore, work in process and finished goods).

PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives that range from three to five years, but do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations while
expenditures for major maintenance and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss arising from such disposition is included in the consolidated statement of activities.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We recognize the sale of product when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has occurred, title has transferred to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The price received is based upon terms of the contract.

MINERAL CLAIM PAYMENTS AND EXPLORATION EXPENSES

The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and exploration of its unproven mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights. If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent development costs of the property will be capitalized. To date the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore all costs have been expensed. The Company also considers the provisions of EITF 04-02 “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets” which concluded that mineral rights are tangible assets. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition of mineral rights where proven or probable reserves are present, or when the Company intends to carry out an exploration program and has the funds to do so.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONCENTRATIONS

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments, which could potentially subject the Company to credit risk, consist primarily of cash in bank and receivables. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company’s account balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced material losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash accounts.
Concentration of Operations — The Company’s operations are all related to the minerals and mining industry. A reduction in mineral prices or other disturbances in the minerals market could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements 123 and 95, which requires the Company to measure the compensation cost of stock options and other stock-based awards to employees and directors at fair value at the grant date and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.
The Company ceased the Stock Option program at 31 December 2007.

Convertible Notes

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options, that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

When convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for separately, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount.
 
When the Company issues debt securities which bear interest at rates that are lower than market rates, the Company recognizes a discount which is offset against the carrying value of the debt. Such discount from the face value of the debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant

interest, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

We adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007 with no resulting cumulative effect adjustment at adoption. FIN 48 requires that uncertain tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process, whereby (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority would be recognized.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Impairment of Long-lived Assets — Management reviews and evaluates the net carrying value of all facilities, including idle facilities, for impairment at least annually, or upon the occurrence of other events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We estimate the net realizable value of each property based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows that will be generated from operations at each property, the estimated salvage value of the surface plant and equipment, and the value associated with property interests. All assets at an operating segment are evaluated together for purposes of estimating future cash flows.
 
Although management has made a reasonable estimate of factors based on current conditions and information, assumptions underlying future cash flows are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Estimates of undiscounted future cash flows are dependent upon estimates of metals to be recovered from proven and probable ore reserves, and to some extent, identified resources beyond proven and probable reserves, future production and capital costs and estimated metals prices (considering current and historical prices, forward pricing curves and related factors) over the estimated remaining mine life. It is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect our estimate of future cash flows to be generated from our operating properties. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” if undiscounted cash flows including an asset’s fair value are less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recognized.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition


DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.
(Formerly SMALL TOWN RADIO, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

The Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. The adoption of this pronouncement does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities only basic loss per share is presented in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding options, warrants and stock purchase rights that could have a future dilutive effect on the calculation of earnings per share.

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share”. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the “as if converted” basis. At December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding options, warrants and stock purchase rights to purchase a total of 1,916,667 common shares of the Company that could have a future dilutive effect on the calculation of earnings per share.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset.

SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company had no asset retirement obligations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, to improve consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, and to expand related disclosures. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, which are effective for consolidated financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading


DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.
(Formerly SMALL TOWN RADIO, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on February 1, 2008, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with Ltd. exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”).  SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and 3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 is currently not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS 142’s entity-specific factors. FAS 142-3 is currently not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” which sets out the framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are


DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.
(Formerly SMALL TOWN RADIO, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

presented in conformity with US GAAP. Up to now, the US GAAP hierarchy has been defined in the US auditing literature. Because of the interrelationship with the auditing literature, SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB’s amendment to their auditing standards. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP No. APB 14-1”). FSP No. APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133. FSP No. APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP No. APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP No. APB 14-1 will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on periods prior to those presented will be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. An offsetting adjustment will be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, presented separately. The adoption of APB 14-1 is not expected to have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This guidance states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and should be included in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method outlined in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. This new guidance is currently not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. EITF No. 07-5 applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all of the characteristics of a derivative or freestanding instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock (with the exception of share-based payment awards within the scope of SFAS 123(R)). To meet the definition of “indexed to one’s own stock,” an instrument’s contingent exercise provisions must not be based on (a) an observable market, other than the market for the issuer’s stock (if applicable), or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated or measured solely by reference to the issuer’s own operations, and the variables that could affect the settlement amount must be inputs to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” forward or option on equity shares. EITF No. 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will evaluate the effects of EITF No. 07-5 on the Company’s financial statements in the first quarter of 2009.

Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities.

The valuation allowance at December 31, 2008 is $4,224,510 and was increased by $4,224,510 during the year. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 was $1,486,397. During the current year, the increase in the valuation allowance was due to additional losses incurred by the Company. We consider the valuation allowance necessary and appropriate in light of the Company's history of recurring losses. The Company had no net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income.

Uncertain Tax Positions

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions.

Based on our assessment of FIN 48, we concluded that the adoption of FIN 48, as of January 1, 2007, had no significant impact on our results of operations or financial position, and required no adjustment to the opening balance sheet accounts. Our year-end analysis supports the same conclusion, and we do not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2008. As a result, tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances would not be meaningful. If interest and penalties were to be assessed, we would charge interest to interest expense, and penalties to other operating expense. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

NOTE 6—CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

The Company had convertible debentures outstanding in the amount of $525,000 at December 31, 2008.  The notes bear an interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Under the convertibility terms of the notes payable, the principal, plus accrued interest, can be converted immediately, at the option of the holder, either in whole, or in part, into fully paid common shares of the Company.
