Lingas Ventures, Inc.

(formerly Lingas Resources, Inc.)

(A Pre-exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Lingas Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 14, 2010. The Company is a mineral exploration company formed for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2013, the Company has not recognized any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $19,929, and has an accumulated deficit of $69,929. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently do not include all disclosures required to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year end is November 30.


The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of May 31, 2013, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.


It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's November 30, 2012 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

c)

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  



9






d)

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 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 loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted 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. As of May 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive shares.

e)

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their fair value due to their short term maturities.

f)

Mineral claim acquisition and exploration costs

The cost of acquiring mineral properties or claims is initially capitalized and then tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

g)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date.  The Company records an impairment or change in useful life whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed.  

h)   Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

h)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3.

Related Party Transactions

a)

During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Company received $2,269 (May 31, 2012 - $133) and repaid $17,500 (May 31, 2012 - $nil) to the President and Director of the Company for general expenditures. At May 31, 2013, the Company owed $20,177 (November 30, 2012 - $35,408) to the President and Director of the Company.  The amounts owing are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.  

4.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements, and did not have any material recognizable subsequent events with the exception of the following:

a)

On June 19, 2013, the Company authorized an increase in its authorized share capital to 2,610,000,000 common shares and a forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares at a rate of 5.8 new common shares for every one common share.  The effects of the forward stock split increased the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 50,000,000 common shares to 290,000,009 common shares and has been applied on a retroactive basis.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the financial statements of Lingas Ventures, Inc. (formerly Lingas Resources, Inc.) (“Lingas” or the “Company”) and the notes which form an integral part of the financial statements which are attached hereto.


The financial statements mentioned above have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in United States dollars.


Our Company was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 14 2010.


Our offices are located at 469 Pujois Avenue, Fort Benafacio, Manila, Philippines and can be reached at (632) 211-6739.


We are an Emerging Growth Company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.

We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of—


(A)

the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;


(B)

the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title;


(C)

the date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or


(D)

 the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.


As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires Issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures.  Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.  As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.  We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Act.


We are considered a start-up exploration mining company formed to explore for mineral such as gold. Our Company has purchased a 100% interest for $5,000 in a one -7 unit claim block containing 94.5 hectares named Prosperidad Gold Mine (the “Prosperidad”). The Prosperidad was staked by the Company and recorded with the Mineral Resource Department of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Government of the Philippines. Our geologist, Alfredo Jumpay, in his report dated October 1, 2010, recommended a two-phased mineral exploration program consisting of air photo interpretation, geological mapping, geochemical soil sampling and geophysical surveying in order to identify targets for future diamond drilling. He estimated Phase I would cost us $14,880, which has been paid in full, and if results were favorable, Phase II would cost us $29,695. At the present time we do not have adequate funds to complete Phase ll. Even if we are successful in receiving positive results from Phase II there is no guarantee we will be able to continue any future exploration programs due to lack of funds.


11







It must be borne in mind that we are an exploration company and there has been no production from the Prosperidad to date and there is a good possibility that there never will be any production. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists at our mineral claim or can be shown to exist until sufficient and appropriate exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation of such work concludes economic and legal feasibility. Such work could take many years of exploration and would require expenditure of very substantial amounts of capital, capital we do not currently have and may never be able to raise.


From the date we were incorporated, being September 14, 2010, through to May 31, 2013, we have only raised funds through a private placement with our two directors and officers in the amount of $50,000 whereby we issued 50,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.


Our Company does not have any subsidiaries. Our Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangement, written or otherwise, to seek a business combination with another entity.


Overview


Since our incorporation on September 14, 2010 we have incurred losses through May 31, 2013 of $69,929. We have prepared our financial statements on a going concern basis; therefore assuming we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business. Our financial statements included in this prospectus have been prepared without any adjustments that would be necessary if we become unable to continue as a going concern and are therefore required to realize upon our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of operations. We have never earned any revenue since our inception.


We are considered to be in the exploration stage and therefore there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exits on Prosperidad until we have done sufficient exploration work and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.


Foreign Currency and Exchange Rates


Our mineral property is located in the Republic of Philippines. The cost expressed in the geological report on Prosperidad is expressed in the local currency, Philippine Pesos (“PHP”). For purposes of consistency and to express United States Dollars throughout this Form 10-Q, Philippine Pesos have been converted into United States currency at the rate of US $1.00 being approximately equal to PHP 43.8.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Over the next twelve months our company will need the following funds to carry on its business not including the completion of Phase I which has already been paid in the amount of $14,880.

The above does take into consideration Phase II which, hopefully, will be completed when the funds are available. The estimated cost of Phase II is $29,695. The net cash on hand as at May 31, 2013 if all expenses are considered as shown above is as follows:

Similar during Phase I, in Phase II, we will be using the service of a qualified geologist who will be responsible for hiring the workers he requires. If neither Messrs. Jumpay nor Ramos is available to undertake the exploration work under Phase II then we will engage the services of another professional geologist. This qualified geologist will be responsible for the completion of the Phase II. Once Phase II is completed all workers, including the supervising geologist used for the exploration work during Phase II, will no longer be needed and therefore will not be retained. We do not want to hire any employees on a full time basis since we do not have the funds available to pay them over a long period of time.


In addition we will not purchase any equipment over the next twelve months. Rather we will rent what equipment we need from suppliers in Butuan. This will reduce our outflow of cash over the next twelve months.


We Require Additional Capital but Have No Operating History


If we decide to carry out our exploration program after completion of Phase II we will require additional funds. We have not given, at this time, any consideration as to how we will raise these funds but some of the options are as follows:


 

 

 

 

obtain further advances from our two directors;

 

 

 

 

undertake either a private placement of our common stock or a public offering once we have been quoted on the OTCBB; or  

 

 

 

 

interest a third party to take a percentage interest in the Prosperidad for the advancing of funds to complete future exploration work.

 

 

 

One of the major concerns to management is that it might take a substantial investment of capital to bring the Prosperidad into a stage of production. During the exploration stage we might incur expenses we had not accounted for due to the following:


 

 

 

 

cost overruns due to increased charges for equipment and/or workers;

 

 

 

 

delays in starting our exploration whereby we have commitments to existing worker and the timing of using equipment;

 

 

 

 

adherence to governmental regulations due to a change in the Mining Act; or

 

 

 

 

the price on the world market for gold has decreased to a point that management has to decide to defer exploration until such a time when gold prices strengthen.

 

 

 



13






We have no operating history in which a potential investor can assess our past performance due to our Company being newly incorporated and limited exploration work has been performed on the Prosperidad. Being relatively newly incorporated might mean that any future financing will come at a cost unacceptable to us and therefore not allow us to proceed with the future exploration and development of the Prosperidad.


If we are unable to raise funds after the completion of the next twelve months either from our directors or through the issuance of shares in a private placement or public offering we might have to consider interesting a third party to take a percentage interest in the Prosperidad. No joint venture arrangements are being considered by our directors at this time. This would be an avenue to consider if we found that we were unable to raise any money from the directors or issuance of shares from Treasury. In addition, we would have to have favorable results from our exploration program or no third party would consider financing us.

During the three months ended May 31, 2013, the Company incurred operating expenses of $4,441 compared to $1,696 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.  The increase in operating expenses was attributed to additional costs incurred for day-to-day operations including professional fees and filing fees relating to required SEC filings.  


For the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Company incurred operating expenses of $23,757 compared to $9,109 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.  The increase in operating expenses was attributed to additional costs incurred for professional fees including audit costs and legal fees regarding the name change, and filing fees required for SEC filings.   


For the six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a loss per share of $nil.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As at May 31, 2013, the Company had cash and total assets of $666 compared with cash and total assets of $41,878 and $43,128 as at November 30, 2012.  The decrease in cash and total assets were attributed to the use of available financing for operating costs and the repayment of amounts due to related parties, as the Company had minimal proceeds from financing activities during the period.  


On June 19, 2013, the Company approved an increase in the authorized share capital to 2,610,000,000 common shares and effected a 5.8-to-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares.  The effect of the forward stock split increased the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 50,000,000 common shares to 290,000,009 common shares.  


Cash Flows from Operating Activities


During the period ended May 31, 2013, the Company used $25,981 of cash for operating activities compared with $7,233 during the period ended May 31, 2012.  The increase is attributed to the fact that the Company incurred more professional fees and out-of-pocket costs which were repaid by funds previously received by the Company.  


Cash Flows from Investing Activities


During the periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any investing activities.  


Cash Flows from Financing Activities


During the period ended May 31, 2013, the Company used $15,231 of cash for financing activities which were related to the net proceeds received and amounts repaid to the President and Director of the Company.  During the period ended May 31, 2012, the Company received $133 from the President and Director of the Company for financing of day-to-day operations.  


Going Concern


We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing. 


Future Financings


We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.


15






Critical Accounting Policies


Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


Not Applicable.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of May 31, 2013 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.


Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2013 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects


Changes in Internal Controls


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


There are no legal proceedings to which Lingas is a party or to which the Prosperidad is subject, nor to the best of management’s knowledge are any material legal proceedings contemplated.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative. In addition to the other information regarding Lingas contained in this Form 10-Q, you should consider many important factors in determining whether to purchase shares in our Company. The following risk factors reflect all known potential and substantial material risks which could be involved if you decide to purchase shares in our Company.


Risks Associated with our Company:


Since our auditors have issued a going concern opinion and although our officers and directors have agreed to loan money to us, we may not be able to achieve our objectives and may have to suspend or cease exploration activity.


Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. If we do not raise additional capital through the issuance of treasury shares or loans to Lingas we will be unable to conduct exploration activity on the Prosperidad. In addition, in the event we are unable to raise additional capital we will have to cease operations and go out of business.


We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease exploration activity or cease operations.


We have not yet conducted any exploration activities. We have not generated any revenues. We have no exploration history upon which you can evaluate the likelihood of our future success or failure. Our net loss from inception to May 31, 2013, the date of our most recent quarterly financial statement, was $69,929.


Our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow in the future is dependent upon


 

 

 

 

*

our ability to discover an ore body on the Prosperidad;

 

*

our ability to locate a profitable mineral property other than the Prosperidad if need requires it;

 

*

our ability to generate revenues from the Prosperidad

 

*

our ability to reduce exploration costs.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the exploration of the Prosperidad. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues may cause us to go out of business.


17






We are governed by only two people, John C. Ngitew and Grace E. Parinas, which may lead to faulty corporate governance.


We have two directors and two executive officers who make all the decisions regarding corporate governance. This includes their (executive) compensation, accounting overview, related party transactions and so on. They will also have full control over matters that require Board of Directors approval. This may introduce conflicts of interest and prevent the segregation of executive duties from those that require Board of Directors’ approval. This may lead to ineffective disclosure and accounting controls. Non compliance with laws and regulations may result in fines and penalties. They would have the ability to take any action as they themselves review them and approve them. They would exercise control over all matters requiring shareholder approval including significant corporate transactions. We have not implemented various corporate governance measures nor have we adopted any independent committees as we presently do not have any independent directors.


Since substantially all of our assets, directors and officers are outside the United States it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our officers and directors.


Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada and have an agent for service in Carson City, Nevada. Our agent for service will accept on our behalf the service of any legal process and any demand or notice authorized by law to be served upon a corporation. Our agent for service will not, however, accept service on behalf of any of our officers or directors. All of our directors and officers are residents of the Philippines and neither of them have an agent for service in the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.


We must attract and maintain key personnel or our business will fail.


Our Company’s success depends on the acquisition of key personnel who are specialist in their area of expertise. Unfortunately our Company will have to compete with other companies both within and outside the mining industry to recruit and retain competent employees. These companies may be better financed, have more exploration and development properties than what our Company has. If our Company cannot maintain qualified employees to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, this could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.


We were recently incorporated in the State of Nevada, lack an operating history and have yet to make any revenues. If we cannot generate any profits, you may lose your entire investment.


We were a recently incorporated company in the State of Nevada and have yet to generate any revenues. No profits have been made to date and if we fail to make any then we may fail as a business and an investment in our common stock will be worth nothing. We have no operating history and thus no way for you to measure progress or potential future success. Success has yet to be proved. Currently, there are no operations in place to produce revenue. We are an exploration company and have yet to find or produce sellable product. Financial losses should be expected to continue in the near future and at least until such time that we enter the production stage. As a new business we face all the risks of a ‘start-up’ venture including unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and management limitations and difficulties. There is no guarantee, unfortunately, that we may ever be able to turn a profit.


International operations in the Philippines are subject to inherent risks.


Political instability, uncertainty of the economic climate, currency fluctuations, exchange controls and taxation laws may be significant in our business dealing in the Philippines. Exchange rate changes between the Philippine currency and the U.S. Dollar may also adversely affect our successful operations.


18






We have no known ore reserves and we cannot guarantee we will find any gold mineralization or, if we find gold mineralization, that it may be economically extracted. If we fail to find any gold mineralization or if we are unable to find gold mineralization that may be economically extracted, we will have to cease operations.


We have no known ore reserves. Even if we find gold mineralization we cannot guarantee that any gold mineralization will be of sufficient quantity so as to warrant recovery. Additionally, even if we find gold mineralization in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery, we cannot guarantee that the ore will be recoverable. Finally, even if any gold mineralization is recoverable, we cannot guarantee that this can be done at a profit. Failure to locate gold deposits in economically recoverable quantities will cause us to cease operations.


Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, in all probability our property does not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration will be lost.


Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, in all probability our sole property, the Prosperidad, does not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration will be lost. If we cannot raise further funds as a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations entirely which would result in the loss of your investment.


Because our officers and directors do not have technical training or experience in starting and operating an exploration company nor in managing a public company, we will have to hire qualified personnel to fulfil these functions. If we lack funds to retain such personnel, or cannot locate qualified personnel, we may have to suspend or cease exploration activity or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment.


Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploring for minerals and starting, and operating a mineral exploration company, we will have to hire qualified persons to perform surveying, exploration, and excavation of our property. Our officers and directors have no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Their decision may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches which geological company to use. Consequently our exploration, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. Additionally, our officers and directors have no direct training or experience in managing and fulfilling the regulatory reporting obligations of a ‘public company’ like Lingas. Unless our part time officers are willing to spend more time addressing these matters, we will have to hire professionals to undertake these filing requirements for Lingas and this will increase the overall cost of operations. As a result we may have to suspend or cease exploration activity, or cease operations altogether, which will result in the loss of your investment.


19






Since we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and as a result may not find an ore body. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.


The possibility of development of and production from our exploration property depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified professional engineers and geologists. We are a small company and do not have much capital. We must limit our exploration activity unless and until we raise additional capital. Any decision to expand our operations on the Prosperidad will involve the consideration and evaluation of several significant factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

 

 

 

Market prices for the minerals to be produced;

 

Costs of bringing the Prosperidad into production including exploration preparation of production feasibility studies and construction of production facilities;

 

Political climate and/or governmental regulations and controls;

 

Ongoing costs of production;

 

Availability and cost of financing; and

 

Environmental compliance regulations and restraints.

These types of programs require substantial capital. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find an ore body, even though our property may contain mineralized material. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.


Even though our two directors and officers have agreed to contribute funds to our Company there is no assurance this will occur.


Even though our two officers and directors have agreed to contribute funds to cover any shortage of funds in order that the Company can complete Phase II and cover all expenses for the next year, there is no assurance, due to having no written agreement with our directors regarding this contribution, that they will be willing or able to provide the funds as required.


Neither of our two directors has visited the Prosperidad.


Our two directors have not visited the Prosperidad. Without visiting the Prosperidad our two officers and directors do not have any personal knowledge of the claim and its mineralization. They will have to rely upon the advice of the geologists working the claim during the exploration period.


Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and may not be in a position to devote a majority of their time to our exploration activity, our exploration activity may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration.


Our officers and directors, collectively, will be devoting only approximately 25% of their time each month to the business of our Company; John Ngitew being 30 hours and Grace Parinas being 20 hours each month. When our Company becomes a reporting company it will have to meet the various requirements of filing periodic reports with the SEC as well as overseeing the activities on the Prosperidad. With our directors having other business interests this might restrict some of the time they could spend on the activities of our Company. Both our exploration activities and reporting requirements might suffer.


20






There is no assurance our Company will have access to all the exploration supplies and materials we will need to undertake our recommend exploration program on the Prosperidad.


To date I we have not contacted any suppliers of material we will need in our exploration program. We do not know if the equipment and supplies required will be available when we start our exploration program due to other exploration companies requiring the same equipment and supplier. In addition, there might be shortages due to the prior use of the supplies and materials. If we cannot find the products and equipment needed at the time, we might have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.


No matter how much money is spent on the Prosperidad, the risk is that we might never identify a commercially viable ore reserve.


Over the coming years, we might spend considerable capital on exploring of the Prosperidad without finding anything of value. It is very likely the Prospertidad does not contain any reserves so any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost. No matter how much money is spent on the Prosperidad, we might never be able to find a commercially viable ore reserve.


Even with positive results during exploration, the Prosperidad might never be put into commercial production due to inadequate tonnage, low metal prices or high extraction costs.


We might be successful, during future exploration programs, in identifying a source of minerals of good grade but not in the quantity, the tonnage, required to make commercial production feasible. If the cost of extracting any minerals that might be found on the Prosperidad is in excess of the selling price of such minerals, we would not be able to develop the claim. Accordingly even if ore reserves were found on the Prosperidad, without sufficient tonnage we would still not be able to economically extract the minerals from the claim in which case we would have to abandon the Prosperidad and seek another mineral property to develop, or cease operations altogether.


Even if our property were found to contain a deposit, since we have not put a mineral deposit into production before, we will have to acquire outside expertise. If we are unable to acquire such expertise we may be unable to put our property into production and you may lose your investment.


We have no experience in placing mineral deposit properties into production, and our ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that we will have available to us the necessary expertise when and if we place a mineral deposit into production.


Mineral exploration and development activities are inherently risky and we may be exposed to environmental liabilities. If such an event were to occur it may result in a loss of your investment.


The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into production. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore. The Prosperidad, our sole property, does not have a known body of commercial ore. Should our mineral claim be found to have commercial quantities of ore, we would be subject to additional risks respecting any development and production activities. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labor disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor are other risks involved in extraction operations and the conduct of exploration programs. We do not carry liability insurance with respect to our mineral exploration operations and we may become subject to liability for damage to life and property, environmental damage, cave-ins or hazards.


21






We are vulnerable to the change of the world gold supply, demand and prices.


Gold prices change on a world market beyond our control. A drop in price would adversely affect our ability to generate a profit. All our revenues would be derived from the sale of gold and possibly other precious metals. Changes in the price of gold thus may affect profitability and impede us from being able to afford to continue operations. Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely; price tends to be linked to a number of factors beyond our control such as: various macroeconomic factors (terrorism, political and regional events that may include such, confidence in the global monetary system, rate of inflation expectations, interest rates, US dollar and certain other currency strength); speculative or hedging activities; forward sales by producers, speculators and other holders; central bank lending; sales and purchases of gold; industrial and jewelry demand; and the current supply and demand. These things are impossible for us to predict. Per ounce, gold has been $384 (1995), $279 (2000), $420 (2005), $1,120 (2010), $1,834 (2011), $1,750 (2013) London PM Fix Price for instance. This volatility may favor operations now but should the price drop unexpectedly some or all exploration activities may become economically unfeasible in the future.


Risks Associated with our Shares:


Our officers and directors will own a substantial amount of our common stock and will have substantial influence over our operations.


Our directors and officers currently own 145,000,000 shares of common stock representing approximately 50% of our outstanding shares. As a result, our directors and officers will have the potential to continue to exercise influence over our operations. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.


Without a public market there is no liquidity for our shares and our shareholders may never be able to sell their shares that would result in a total loss of their investment.


Our common shares are not listed on any exchange or quotation system. There is no market for our shares. Consequently, our shareholders will not be able to sell their shares in an organized market place unless they sell their shares privately. If this happens, our shareholders might not receive a price per share which they might have received had there been a public market for our shares. Once this registration statement becomes effective, it is our intention to apply for a quotation on the OTCBB whereby:


 

 

 

 

We will have to be sponsored by a participating market maker who will file a Form 211 on our behalf since we will not have direct access to the FINRA personnel; and

 

We will not be quoted on the OTCBB unless we are current in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.


From the date of this prospectus, we estimate that it will take us between eighteen to twenty four weeks to be approved for a quotation on the OTCBB. However, we cannot be sure we will be able to obtain a participating market maker or be approved for a quotation on the OTCBB, in which case, there will be no liquidity for the shares of our shareholders.


22






Even if a market develops for our shares our shares may be thinly traded, with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices and minimal liquidity.


If a market for our shares develops, the share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including:

 

 

 

 

Potential investors anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations;

 

Increased competition and/or variations in mineral prices;

 

Our ability or inability to generate future revenues; and

 

Market perception of the future of the mineral exploration industry.


In addition, if our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, our share price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations. In addition, even if our stock is approved for quotation by a market maker through the OTCBB, stocks traded over this quotation system are usually thinly traded, highly volatile and not followed by analysts. These factors, which are not under our control, may have a material effect on our share price.


We anticipate the need to sell additional treasury shares in the future meaning that there will be a dilution to our shareholders resulting in their percentage ownership in the Company being reduced accordingly.


We may seek additional funds through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in the Company is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required.


Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.


Our shares are "penny stocks" and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.
