GOLDRANGE RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
1. |
Nature and Continuance of Operations: |
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 29, 2004 as Goldrange Resources Inc. The Company's principal business activity is the exploration of mineral properties.
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a "going concern" with the assumption that the Company will be able to continue in business for the foreseeable future, and will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. During the period ended September 30, 2006 the Company experienced an operating loss. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to complete further equity financing or generate profitable operations in the future.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They may not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2007.
2. |
Accounting Policies: |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern and reflect the policies outlined below.
a) |
Exploration Stage Company |
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ("FAS") No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as an exploration stage company.
b) |
Mineral Properties |
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. The Company has considered the guidance under EITF 04-2 and has determined that capitalization of mineral property acquisition costs is inappropriate at the current stage of the Companys mineral property exploration activities. To date, the Companys mineral interests consist mainly of exploration stage properties. Furthermore, there is uncertainty as to the Companys ability to fund the exploration work necessary to determine if the properties have recoverable reserves or any future economic benefits. As a result, the Company has expensed all mineral property acquisition costs to date.

GOLDRANGE RESOURCES INC.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements
June 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
2. Accounting Policies (continued):
b) |
Mineral Properties (continued) |
To date, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral property interests. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs will be 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.
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. As at September 30, 2006, any potential costs relating to the retirement of the Companys mineral property interests has not yet been determined.
c) |
Foreign Currency Translation |
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
d) |
Income Taxes |
The Company uses the assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.
e) |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the estimates.
f) |
Financial Instruments |
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related party. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of the financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

2.Accounting Policies (continued):
g) |
Net Loss per Share |
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
h) |
Stock-based Compensation |
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.
i) |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.

2. Accounting Policies (continued):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS No. 157). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors, that may cause our or our industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, 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 "Goldrange" mean Goldrange Resources, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 29, 2004. Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business. On July 27, 2006, our common stock received approval for quotation on the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol GORS.
Our principal executive offices are located at 114 West Magnolia Street, Suite 400-136, Bellingham, WA 98225. Our telephone number is 360.392.2830. We do not have any subsidiaries.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration of gold and other minerals on three mineral claims in the Province of British Columbia. Our original business purpose was to find and acquire properties that would be suitable for an exploration mining program. We acquired our rights to the claims in British Columbia on February 15, 2005 from Navasota Resources Ltd. Our mineral claims span 5.6 square miles in an area near Kamloops, British Columbia. We have not yet conducted any exploration of the property but we plan to ascertain whether the claims possess commercially viable deposits of minerals, including gold, copper, molybdenum, silver and zinc. Since February 15, 2005, we have been engaged in the business of exploration and exploitation of minerals exclusively in relation to our rights on our Gold Creek property.
12
Employees
As at October 31, 2006, our only employees are our directors and officers. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.
Competition
There is aggressive competition within the mineral industry to discover and acquire properties considered to have commercial potential. We compete for the opportunity to participate in promising exploration projects with other entities, many of which have greater resources than us. In addition, we compete with others in efforts to obtain financing to explore and develop mineral properties.
Plan of Operations
We have a history of losses and no revenues from operations. Our capital needs have historically been met by the issuance of securities (either through private placements, the exercise of stock options, shares for debt, property or other assets) or shareholder loans.
For the next twelve months we intend to carry out a program of exploration and maintain our status with respect to the mineral rights on our Gold Creek properties.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve-month period.
Personnel Plan
We do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employees during the next twelve-month period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are 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 investors.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital resources have been through the issuance of common stock, although we may use shareholder loans, advances from related parties, or borrowing in the future.
At September 30, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $19,498, compared to working capital of $69,627 as at September 30, 2005.
At September 30, 2006, our total current assets were $835 which consisted primarily of cash of $715 and prepaid expenses of $120 compared to current assets of $72,285 as at September 30, 2005.
At September 30, 2006, our total current liabilities were $20,333, compared to total current liabilities of $2,658 as at September 30, 2005.
13
For the six month period ended September 30, 2006, we posted losses of $41,167 compared to $26,909 for the six month period ended September 30, 2005 and to $127,998 since incorporation. The principal components of the loss for the six month period ended September 30, 2006 were 40,148 accounting and legal fees, management fees, office and miscellaneous and travel.
Operating expenses for the six month period ended September 30, 2006 were $41,225 compared to $27,597 as at September 30, 2005.
At September 30, 2006, we had cash on hand of $715 compared to $72,165 as at September 30, 2005.
Cash Requirements
For the next twelve months we intend to carry out a program of exploration and maintain our status with respect to the mineral rights on our Gold Creek properties.
These endeavors will cost approximately $85,000. As of September 30, 2006, we had working capital deficit of $19,498. We have no income from operations. We will require additional funds to implement our plans. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in the dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We will also need more funds if the costs of the exploration of our mineral claims are greater than we have anticipated. We will also require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues. We currently do not have any arrangements for further financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing.
Over the next twelve months we intend to use all available funds as follows:

Going Concern
Due to our being an exploration stage company and not having generated revenues, in their Notes to our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have historically incurred losses, and through September 30, 2006 have incurred losses of $127,998 from our inception. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial
14
loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Application Of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 managements 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 financials.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our companys results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for
15
entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our companys results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS No. 157). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for our company would be our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. Our company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.
RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.
16
Risks Related To Our Business
Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims. If this happens, our business will likely fail.
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mineral properties, there is no assurance that our exploration activities will result in the discovery of new commercially exploitable quantities of minerals.
We plan to continue exploration on our Gold Creek property. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that additional exploration on our properties will establish that commercially exploitable reserves of minerals exist on our property. Additional potential problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. If we are unable to establish the presence of commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on our property our ability to fund future exploration activities will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Because our Gold Creek property is without known mineral reserves and because we have never made a profit from our operations, our securities are highly speculative and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and our early stage of exploration. Our Gold Creek property is in the exploration stage only and is without known deposits of minerals. Accordingly, we have not generated material revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and exploiting mineral reserves or selling the rights to exploit those mineral reserves. The likelihood of our Gold Creek property containing valuable and commercially exploitable minerals is extremely remote. In all probability, our Gold Creek property does not contain any reserves and any funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. We may never discover mineral resources in our Gold Creek property or any other area, or we may do so and still not be commercially successful if we are unable to exploit those resources profitably or earn revenues from selling the rights to exploit any mineral resources we discover. We may not be able to operate profitably and may have to cease operations, the price of our securities may decline and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration and exploitation, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to
17
liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
The potential profitability of mineral ventures depends in part upon factors beyond the control of our company and even if we discover and exploit mineral deposits, we may never become commercially viable and we may be forced to cease operations.
The commercial feasibility of mineral properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control, including the existence and size of mineral deposits in the properties we explore, the proximity and capacity of processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental regulation. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and any one or a combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. These factors may have material and negative effects on our financial performance and our ability to continue operations.
Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.
Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, provincial, and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.
Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or increase our costs of doing so, which would have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.
As we face intense competition in the mineral exploration and exploitation industry, we will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.
Our Gold Creek property is in the Kamloops area of British Columbia, Canada, and our competition there includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may have to compete for financing and we may be unable to acquire financing on terms we consider acceptable. We may also have to compete with the other mining companies in the Kamloops area in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended, which may cause us to cease operations as a company.
18
Risks Associated With Our Company
We have a history of losses and have a deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have not generated any revenues since our incorporation and we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we are in commercial deployment. Our net loss from inception (November 29, 2004) to September 30, 2006 was $127,998. We had cash in the amount of $715 as of September 30, 2006. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $7,000 each month. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our business. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors report on our audited financial statements, dated June 26, 2006. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will likely lose all of their investments in our company.
Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. If we do not obtain such financing, we may have to cease our exploration activities and investors could lose their entire investment.
There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. We will require additional financing in order to proceed beyond the first few months of our exploration program. We will also require additional financing for the fees we must pay to maintain our status in relation to the rights to our properties and to pay the fees and expenses necessary to become and operate as a public company. We will also need more funds if the costs of the exploration of our mineral claims are greater than we have anticipated. We will also require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues. We currently do not have any arrangements for further financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. If we do not obtain such financing, our business could fail and investors could lose their entire investment.
Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims in the future, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in operating our business, then investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
We have no history of revenues from operations and have no significant assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and is in the exploration stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of mineral reserves on our properties or selling the rights to exploit those mineral reserves. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
19
Our directors and officers are employed elsewhere and their time and efforts will not be devoted to our company full-time.
Our directors and officers are employed in other positions with other companies. They will manage our company on a part-time basis. Because of this fact, the management of our company may suffer and our company could under-perform or fail.
Risks Associated With Our Common Stock
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the National Association of Securities Dealers. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and the NADSDs sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer
20
must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
Other Risks
Because Steve Bajic, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and one of our directors, lives outside of the United States, you may have no effective recourse against him for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgment and civil liabilities against him.
Steve Bajic, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and a director of our company is a national and a resident of Canada, and all or a substantial portion of his assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against him, or obtain judgments against him outside of the United States that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
Item 3. |
Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon the foregoing, our President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
There were no changes in the our internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses of internal controls that would require corrective action.
