Silverstar Mining Corp.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

31 December 2013

 

1. Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations

 

Silverstar Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 5 December 2003. On 4 March 2008, the Company completed a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., which was incorporated by the Company solely to effect the name change of the Company to Silverstar Mining Corp. The Company was incorporated for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverdale Mining Corp. (“Silverdale”) from 24 July 2008, the date of acquisition.

 

The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to development stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 30 September.

 

These consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013 and for the three month period then ended, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a loss for the three month period ended 31 December 2013 of $118,885 (2012 loss - $106,360), cumulative loss - $2,038,051 (2012 cumulative loss - $1,734,788) and has working capital deficit of $452,220 at 31 December 2013 (30 September 2013 deficit - $333,335).

 

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At 31 December 2013, the Company had suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Mineral property costs

 

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on 5 December 2003 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

 

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

 

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs (Note 5).

 

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

 

Reclamation costs

 

The Company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine. The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred. The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made. Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.

Long-lived assets

 

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

 

Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis

 

Financial instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible debentures approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Nevada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Website development costs

 

The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred. The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.

  

Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.

 

Income taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated 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 potentially dilutive 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 potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 31 December 2013, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Segments of an enterprise and related information

 

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, supersedes SFAS No. 14, “Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise.” SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this SFAS and does not believe it is applicable at this time.

 

Start-up expenses

 

The Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5, “Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 5 December 2003 to 31 December 2013.

 

Foreign currency translation

  

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated 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 consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Comparative figures

 

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements would have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

3.Acquisition

 

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.

 

On 24 July 2008, the Company acquired Silverdale. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company was $791,860 of which $141,760 was paid in cash, and the Company issued 4,334,000 common shares of the Company valued at $650,100 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Silverdale (Notes 5 and 11). Silverdale was acquired pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement with Silverdale and the former shareholders of Silverdale dated 13 June 2008. The acquisition of Silverdale expanded the Company’s business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties.

 

A valuation of certain assets was completed and the Company internally determined the fair value of other assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of acquired assets, standard valuation techniques were used including the market and income approach.

 

The purchase price allocation has been determined as follows:

 

      $ 
  Assets purchased:     
  Cash and cash equivalents   1,539 
  Mineral property interests   790,321 
        
  Total assets acquired   791,860 
        
  Purchase price   791,860

12.Income Taxes

 

The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to 31 December 2013. There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the period ended 31 December 2013 due to the Company’s loss position. The Company has fully reserved for any benefits of these losses. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carry-forward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.

 

The provision for refundable federal income tax consists of the following:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars (US$) and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

 

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “our company” mean Silverstar Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation, and our wholly owned subsidiary Silverstar Mining (Canada) Inc., a company incorporated under the federal laws of Canada, unless otherwise indicated.

 

General Overview

 

The address of our principal executive office is located at 1489 West Warm Springs Road, Suite 110, Henderson, NV. Our telephone number is (775) 473–9400.

 

Our company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 5, 2003 under the name Computer Maid, Inc. Our company was inactive until February 2006, when we changed our name to Rose Explorations Inc. and became engaged in the exploration of mining properties.

 

On March 4, 2008, our company completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., which was incorporated solely to effect the name change of our company to Silverstar Mining Corp.

 

In addition, on March 4, 2008, we effected a 3 for 1 forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 225,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.

 

On April 13, 2011, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining (Canada) Inc., under the federal laws of Canada. The subsidiary’s main purpose is to hold title to mineral property rights situated in Canada as the laws of that country require that only local entities can hold title to mineral property rights situated within its borders.

Effective September 26, 2011, we effected a reverse split our common stock on a 1,000 for 1 basis. As a result of the foregoing, we reduced the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 225,000,000 to 225,000.

 

On February 29, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State increasing the number of authorized shares from 225,000 to 225,000,000 shares of common stock $0.001 par value.

 

On July 22, 2013 we entered into settlement agreements with four debt holders of our company pursuant to which we restructured outstanding demand loans payable in the aggregate amount of $175,028 (inclusive of accrued interest) as convertible debentures. The details of the transactions are as follows:

 

  On November 19, 2009 we issued a demand promissory note to one lender in consideration of loan proceeds of $30,000. On March 19, 2012, our company’s board of directors approved a plan whereby the debt holder could convert their loan into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.0025 per share, however this plan was not executed. On July 22, 2013 we entered into a settlement agreement with the assignees of the lender, Tina Bressert, to extinguish the demand note and issued a convertible debenture to the assignee of the demand note in the aggregate principal amount of $41,118. The debenture shall bear interest at 10% per annum and shall be payable in full, together with any accrued interest, by July 22, 2017. The holder shall have the option to convert the principal amount and any accrued interest, in whole or in part, at the rate of $0.0025 per share of our common stock. On December 23, 2013 we authorized the issuance of 9,500,000 shares to the assignees of the debenture in conversion of $23,750 payable pursuant to the debenture as at December 6, 2013. The balance of $18,912 remains payable pursuant to the debenture as at December 31, 2013.
     
    Pursuant to the above described convertible debentures, Ms. Bressert has the right to purchase upon conversion of the debentures up to 42.56% of our common stock on a non-diluted basis.
     
  On May 14, 2010, we issued a demand promissory note to one lender in consideration of loan proceeds of $2,500. On July 22, 2013 we entered into a settlement agreement with the assignee of the lender, Tina Bressert, to extinguish the demand note and issued a convertible debenture to the assignee of the demand note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,297. The debenture shall bear interest at 17% per annum and shall be payable in full, together with any accrued interest, by July 22, 2017. The holder shall have the option to convert the principal amount and any accrued interest, in whole or in part, at the rate of $0.35 per share of our common stock. This convertible note was subsequently assigned to a third party. On December 23, 2013 we authorized the issuance of 10,020 shares to the assignee of the debenture holder in full conversion of the $3,507 payable pursuant to the debenture as at December 6, 2013.
     
  On January 25, 2011, we issued a demand promissory note to Nottingham Group in consideration of loan proceeds of $16,000. On July 22, 2013 we entered into a settlement agreement to extinguish the demand note and issued a convertible debenture to Nottingham Group in the aggregate principal amount of $19,586. The debenture shall bear interest at 17% per annum and shall be payable in full, together with any accrued interest, by July 22, 2017.

  On or about June 8, 2012, October 2, 2012 and January 25, 2013 we issued demand promissory notes to Elco Securities Ltd. in consideration of loan proceeds of $15,000, $7,500, and $10,000, respectively ($32,500 in the aggregate). On July 22, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement to extinguish the demand note and issued a convertible debenture to Elco Securities Ltd. in the aggregate principal amount of $35,273. The debenture shall bear interest at 17% per annum and shall be payable in full, together with any accrued interest, by July 22, 2017. The holder shall have the option to convert the principal amount and any accrued interest, in whole or in part, at the rate of $0.35 per share of our common stock. The full amount of principal and accrued interest remains payable as at the date of this report.

 

On February 15, 2013, we closed a share exchange agreement pursuant to which we intended to acquire a wholly owned subsidiary, Arriba Resources Inc. However, effective November 13, 2013 our board of directors approved the cancellation and reversal of the share exchange agreement due to a failure of consideration on the part of the seller. As a result of the cancellation and reversal of the share exchange agreement, 2,139,926 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire 2,078,477 shares of our common stock which were previously authorized (but not issued from treasury) have been cancelled with immediate effect. Consequently, the change of control announced in our current report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2013 has been reversed.

 

As a result of the cancellation and reversal of the share exchange agreement with Arriba, the consolidated financial statements of our company for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2013 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2013) and June 30, 2013 (filed with the SEC on May 20, 2013) may no longer be relied upon owing to their inclusion of the financial information of Arriba. We have informed our independent accountants of the cancellation and reversal of the share exchange agreement and intend to file amendments to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2013 to reflect our financial condition without consolidation of the financial information of Arriba. The financial statements contained in this current report accurately reflect the deconsolidation of the financial information of Arriba.

 

Effective January 9, 2014, we entered into a settlement agreement with Guy Martin regarding compensation payable to Mr. Martin’s for his services as chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director of our company. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay to Mr. Martin the aggregate sum of $28,050 and 5,000 shares of our common stock. To date we have not made any payments to Mr. Martin pursuant to the settlement agreement.

 

Effective January 27, 2014, Guy Martin tendered his resignation as our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director of our company. Our board of directors accepted Mr. Martin’s resignation on February 15, 2014 with effect as at January 27, 2014.

 

Concurrently, on February 15, 2014, our board of directors appointed Jared Robinson to server as our chief executive officer and Lowell Holden to serve as our chief financial officer.

 

Current Business

 

Mineral Exploration

 

We are currently engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties in the Caribou Mining District in east-central British Columbia, Canada.

 

On May 16, 2011, we entered into an agreement of purchase and sale with Jaime Mayo to acquire a 100% interest in three mineral claims known as the Abhau Lake Property (constituting approximately 1,006 hectares) located in the Caribou Mining District near the city of Quesnel, in east-central British Columbia, Canada. In consideration of the property, we paid $10,000 cash as a deposit and issued 2,000 (now 2,000,000 post-split) common shares upon closing. The claims are subject to a 2% NSR (net smelter royalty). We have an option to purchase 1% of the NSR for $1 million and an additional 0.5% of the NSR $500,000.

On February 7, 2012, we paid Terracad Geoscience Services $4,040 to re-stake the claims, which had expired, in the name of our company.

 

On June 12, 2012, we paid Terracad Geoscience Services $10,000 as a pre-payment against an estimated $15,000 charge to prepare the National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report for the Quesnel property. The work was completed and we received final invoicing for the work on October 1, 2012 in the amount of $15,533 which was recorded as investment in mineral property.

 

As at the date of this report, the Abhau Lake Property is currently our sole asset.

 

Concurrently with our mineral exploration activities, we are seeking to expand our business to include oil and natural gas exploration and development, in addition to mineral exploration services and oil and gas exploration services, including hard rock drilling services, seismic drilling services, and oil & gas waste disposal.

 

Prospective Business Activities

 

We are currently seeking to diversify our business into hard rock drilling services and oil and gas exploration and waste disposal. With respect to prospective mining services, we are pursuing bidding opportunities for hard rock drilling contracts in Idaho, Nevada and in the Northwest Territories of Canada. With respect to prospective oil & gas exploration, we are identifying and conducting due diligence on acreages located in Eastern Wyoming and Western Nebraska for the purposes of potential acquisition and exploration. We have not entered into any definitive arrangements regarding these prospective business activities and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in this regard.

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were $111,687, representing an increase of $70,763 from the $40,924 in expenses incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of increases in advertising, bank charges and interest, insurance, legal and accounting, licenses and permits, management fees, professional fees, transfer agent fees and travel, entertainment and office expenses.

 

Revenue, Net Income and Loss

 

We have had no revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $118,885 compared to a net loss of $106,360 during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net loss is primarily due to increased operating expenses and interest expense. Total losses from December 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2013 were $2,038,051.

 

Our operations to date have been financed by the sale of our common stock and third party loans. Our two largest expenses to date have been legal and accounting fees ($413,342 since inception) and our write-down of mineral property acquisition costs ($811,696 since inception). Most of our legal and accounting expenses have been incurred in connection with our regulatory filings with the SEC and in connection with ongoing corporate activities.

 

We do not anticipate generating revenues in the foreseeable future, and any revenues that we generate may not be sufficient to cover our operating expenses. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital. We may have to cease operations and you may lose your entire investment.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2013 we had cash totaling $123 as compared to $5,869 in cash at September 30, 2013. Our accounts payable at December 31, 2013 was $116,559 and $42,866 as at September 30, 2013. On December 31, 2013 we had convertible debentures of $159,524 and no demand loans compared to our outstanding convertible debentures of $201,807 and $Nil in demand loans as at September 30, 2013. Our total liabilities were $417,820 on December 31, 2013 as compared to $ 339,453 as at September 30, 2013. We had a working capital deficit of $417,697 as at December 31, 2013 as compared to our working capital deficit of $333,335 as at September 30, 2013.

 

We have no revenues to satisfy our ongoing liabilities. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. Unless we secure equity or debt financing, of which there can be no assurance, or identify an acquisition candidate, we will not be able to continue any operations.

 

Working Capital

 

   At   At 
   December 31, 2013   September 30, 2013 
Current Assets  $123   $6,118 
Current Liabilities  $417,820   $339,453 
Working Capital (Deficit)  $(417,697)  $(333,335)

 

Our total current assets as of December 31, 2013 were $123 as compared to total current assets of $6,118 as of September 30, 2013. The decrease in current assets was primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents and prepaid expenses.

 

Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2013 were $417,820 as compared to total current liabilities of $339,453 as of September 30, 2013. The increase in current liabilities was primarily attributed to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, shareholder advances and share issuance liability.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities   $ (55,359   $ 7,500  
Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents During the Period   $ (5,746   $ 1,855  

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities was $49,613 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to cash used in operating activities of $9,888 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in net loss of $12,525 offset by increases in operating liabilities.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was $Nil for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to cash used in investing activities of $15,533 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in mineral property acquisition costs.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash flows from financing activities totaled $55,359 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $7,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily a result of the issuance of convertible debentures and common shares issued for cash.

 

Cash Requirements

 

We will require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses over the next 12 months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for investors to obtain returns on their investments in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses.

 

Specifically, we estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:

 

Description  Estimated Completion
Date
  Estimated Expenses
($)
 
Salaries  12 months   60,000 
Consulting Fees  12 months   60,000 
Audit Fees  12 months   30,000 
Legal Fees  12 months   50,000 
Insurance  12 months   25,000 
Transfer Agent  12 months   5,000 
Filing Fees  12 months   20,000 
Travel  12 months   25,000 
Due Diligence—Targeted acquisition  12 months   25,000 
Total      300,000 

 

10
 

 

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing by way of private placements. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at December 31, 2013, our company has accumulated losses of $1,911,728 since inception. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

 

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted in their report on the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013, De Leon & Company, P.A., our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

 

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

 

Future Financings

 

We are an exploratory stage mining company. We are currently engaged in the exploration and development of properties in the Caribou Mining District in east-central British Columbia or approximately 65 km northeast of Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. We have a total of 3 mining claims in British Columbia, Canada. Subject to securing additional financing, our goal is to explore these mining claims to determine if there are indicated or proven reserves of either gold, silver or base metals.

 

We will require additional financing of $250,000 in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, including approximately $300,000 over the next 12 months to pay for our ongoing expenses. These expenses include legal, accounting and audit fees as well as general and administrative expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay our liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.

 

We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.

 

If we are unable to raise the funds that we require to execute our plan of operation, we intend to scale back our operations commensurately with the funds available to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Mineral Property Costs

 

Our company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on December 5, 2003 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, our company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

 

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

 

As of the date of the consolidated financial statements, our company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.

 

Although our company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which we have an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee our company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

 

12
 

 

Reclamation Costs

 

Our company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine. The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred. The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made. Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-term assets of our company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

 

Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible debentures approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Our company’s operations are in Nevada and virtually all of our assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. Our company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, our company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Our company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred. The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.

 

Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Our company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Our company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated 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 potentially dilutive 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 potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2013, our company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

 

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, supersedes SFAS No. 14, “Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise.” SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our company has evaluated this SFAS and does not believe it is applicable at this time.

 

Start-Up Expenses

 

Our company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5, “Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with our company’s formation have been included in our company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on December 5, 2003 to December 31, 2013.

 

14
 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Our company’s functional and reporting currency is in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of our company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated 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. Our company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Comparative Figures

 

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. ASU No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.
