As of April 14, 2008, the aggregate
market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the registrant
("aggregate market value") was approximately $1,131,546. This calculation is
based on: (a) our not yet establishing an active trading market; (b) not having
a bid or ask price to determine the aggregate market value; and (c) using our
private placement price of $0.50 per share, which represents shares of our
common stock that we sold as detailed in Item 5 of this Form 10-K as the only
available means by which to calculate the aggregate market value. Without
asserting
that any director or executive officer of the registrant, or
the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the registrant's common stock,
is an affiliate, the shares of which they are the beneficial owners have been
deemed to be owned by affiliates solely for this calculation.
Issuer's
revenues for its most recent fiscal year: $119,838
The
number of shares of the registrant's $.0001 par value common stock outstanding
as of April 14, 2008 was 14,526,186.

General
We are an
exploration stage company that searches for mineral deposits or reserves. We
have not yet engaged in either development or production stage activities. We
plan to acquire, stake claims, or lease exploration properties, and conduct
exploration activities in North America.
On
November 2, 2006, we acquired 98% of our subsidiary, Metales Preciosos S.A. de
C.V. (“Metales Preciosos”), a Mexico based company incorporated in Mexico on
April 21, 2003. Metales Preciosos holds four of the exploration properties where
we plan to conduct our exploration activities: the El Cumbro, El Cusito, Canada
de Oro,, and La Moneda properties located in Mexico, where we intend to explore
for silver, gold, zinc, lead and copper.
As more
fully discussed in our Property Section beginning on page 9 we hold interests in
and plan to conduct exploration activities at these other
properties:
|
·
|
The
Tecoma property located in Box Elder County Utah, where we intend to
explore for silver; and;
|
|
·
|
The
Leviathan Property, in San Bernardino County, California, consisting of 60
unpatented mining claims encompassing 1,304 acres, where we intend to
explore for silver and barite.
|
We also
plan to purchase the Langtry property, which abuts our Leviathan property in San
Bernardino County, California, where, if we acquire the Langtry property, we
intend to explore for silver and barite.
Although
we generated total revenues of $227,121 in 2005 and $209,665 in 2006 from
engineering/mining related consulting services, revenues generated in 2007 of
$119,838 have decreased significantly since June 16, 2006 when we changed the
nature of our operations solely to exploration activities.
We have
relied upon funds raised from the sale of our common stock and funds provided by
our management to cover our operating costs and expenses. Our independent
accountant has issued an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Business
Development
We were
incorporated in the State of Arizona on September 4, 1992 as ARX Engineering
Inc. On June 16, 2006, we changed our name to International Silver, Inc. to
reflect our present business plan of conducting exploration activities in North
America. Prior to June 16, 2006, we conducted engineering mining related
consulting services.
We have
never filed or been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar
proceeding. We have never been involved or conducted any transaction involving a
material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a
significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of
business.
Business
We are
an exploration stage company that engages in exploration activities. An
exploration stage company searches for mineral deposits or reserves, which has
not yet engaged in either development or production stage activities. We plan to
acquire, stake claims, or lease exploration properties, and conduct exploration
activities in North America.
Competition
We
compete with other exploration companies, most of which have greater financial,
operational, and technical resources than us. Additionally, many of our
competitors have longer operating histories, more established and a greater
number of exploration properties and have strategic partnerships and
relationships that benefit their activities, which we do not currently
have.
Hedging
Transactions
We do not
engage in hedging transactions and we have no hedged mineral
resources.
Employees
We
currently have five employees: (a) Mr. Shipes, our Chief Executive Officer;
(b) Mr. McKinney, our Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer; (c) Matt
J. Lang, our Vice President of Administration/Corporate Secretary; (d) Alexander
Makaron, our Engineer; and (e) Ruben Vasquez, Exploration Office Administrator
in Mexico.
Production Distribution
Methods
Should we
be successful in producing Zinc-Silver concentrates, we will attempt to sell
such concentrates directly to metals trading companies for shipments to smelters
around the world or directly to smelters.
Should we
be successful in producing other Lead/Precious Metals, we will attempt to sell
them directly to metal type companies that purchase the metals in connection
with their ongoing trading activities of such metals.
Sources and Availability of
Raw Materials
We do not
use raw materials .
Dependence on one or a few
major customers

Disclosure Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements And Risk Factors
Forward-Looking
Statements.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section

Available
Information.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
Risk
Factors
In
addition to the other information provided in this Form 10-K, you should
carefully consider the following risk factors (and others in our S-1
Registration Statement, which may be accessed at:
www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1419482/000114420408011274/v104636_s1a.htmn
)
in evaluating our business before purchasing our common stock. Our exploration
activities are highly risky and speculative; accordingly, an investment in our
common stock shares involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in our
common stock if you cannot afford to lose your entire investment. In considering
an investment in our common shares, you should carefully consider the following
risk factors together with all of the other information contained in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our S-1 Registration
Statement. Any of the following (along with other risk factors that are
discussed in our S-1 Registration Statement, and which includes more
expansive risk factor discussions pertaining to the risk factors discussed
below), may cause our exploration activities, prospects, financial condition or
results of operations to be negatively impacted, which may lead to the loss of
all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to our Business
Activities
.
Our
financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
As of our
December 31, 2007 year-end, we have an accumulated deficit of $464,210. Our
auditor has issued a going concern opinion that there is substantial doubt
whether we can continue as an ongoing business.
I
f we fail to obtain
approximately $19,000,000 of financing, we will be unable to pursue our planned
business operations will have to be curtailed or terminated, in which case you
will lose part or all of your investment in our common stock.
Because our properties or claims may
never have reserves or be profitable, your investment in our common shares may
be negatively impacted.
None of
the properties or claims on which we have the right to explore for silver and
other precious metals is known to have any confirmed commercially mineable
deposits of silver or other metals that may be mined at a profit. We may be
unable to develop our properties at a profit, either because:
|
·
|
the
deposits are not of the quality or size that would enable us to make a
profit from actual mining activities; or
|
|
·
|
because
it may not be economically feasible to extract metals from the
deposits.
|
In either
case, you may lose part or all of you entire investment.
Because
we are an exploration stage company, we have no mining operations, and our
future operations are subject to substantial risks, we may never be successful
in conducting any future mining operations.
We are
not a mining company, but rather a beginning stage exploration stage. We will be
unable to generate revenues or make profits, unless we actually mine deposits,
if any actually exist.
We
lack an operating history in our current business plan and we have losses, which
make it difficult for you to evaluate whether we will be able to continue our
operations or ever be profitable.
In June
2006, we began our current business plan of conducting exploration for silver
and other minerals -- our short operating history has consisted of preliminary
exploration activities and non-income-producing activities. Accordingly, we have
no adequate operating history for you to evaluate our future success or
failure.
Our
management has conflicts of interest that may favor the interests of our
management, but to the detriment of our minority shareholders’
interests.
Our
officers and directors also serve as officers and/or directors of other mining
exploration companies and are related by family relations to one another. As a
result, their personal interests and those of the companies that they are
affiliated with may come into conflict with our interests and those of our
minority stockholders. We as well as the other companies that our officers and
directors are affiliated with may present our officers and directors with
business opportunities that are simultaneously desired. Additionally, we may
compete with these other companies for investment capital, technical resources,
key personnel and other things. You should carefully consider these potential
conflicts of interest before deciding whether to invest in our shares of our
common stock. We have not yet adopted a policy for resolving such conflicts of
interests. Because the interests of our officers and the companies that they are
affiliated with may disfavor our own interests and those of our minority
stockholders, you should carefully consider these conflicts of interest before
purchasing shares of our common stock.
The
services of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice
President/Chief Financial Officer, Consulting Geologist, and our Vice President
of Administration and Logistics, are essential to the success of our business;
the loss of any of these personnel will adversely affect our
business.
Our
business depends upon the continued involvement of our officers, directors, and
Consulting Geologist, each of whom have mining experience from 9 to 35 years.
The loss, individually or cumulatively, of these personnel would adversely
affect our business, prospects, and our ability to successfully conduct our
exploration activities. Before you decide whether to invest in our common stock,
you should carefully consider that the loss of their expertise, may negatively
impact your investment in our common stock.
We
may be denied the government licenses and permits or otherwise fail to comply
with federal and state requirements for our exploration activities.
Our
future exploration activities will require licenses, permits, or compliance with
other state and federal requirements regarding prospecting, exports, taxes,
labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land
use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Delays or failures
to acquire required licenses or permits or successfully comply with the
pertinent federal and state regulations will negatively impact our
operations.
We
do not carry any property or casualty insurance and do not intend to carry such
insurance in the near future which may expose us to liabilities that will
negatively affect our financial condition.
The
search for valuable minerals exposes us to numerous hazards. As a result, we may
become subject to liability for such hazards, including environmental pollution,
cave-ins, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures,
cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as
inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes or other hazards that we
cannot insure against or which we may elect not to insure. At the present time
we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. Should we incur liabilities
involving these hazards that may have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition.
If
we fail to make pay $7,990,000 for our purchase of the Langtry property, we
will lose our right to purchase the Langtry property.
To
complete the purchase of the Langtree property we are required to pay by
September 7, 2008, the $7,990,000 purchase price for that property. If
we are unable to purchase the Langtree property it will significantly impact our
operational plan.
Our
management devotes less than full time to our business, which may negatively
impact our operations and/or reduce our revenues.
Harold
Roy Shipes, our Chief Executive Officer, John McKinney, our Executive Vice
President/Chief Financial Officer, and Matt Lang, our Vice President of
Administration/Corporate Secretary, devote less than full time to our business.
Each member of our management described above devotes approximately 60% of their
time to us or 30 hours per week, 30% of their time to Atlas Precious Metals,
Inc., 5% to Atlas Corporation, and 5% to American International Trading Company.
Because our management may be unable to devote the time necessary to our
business, we may be unsuccessful in the implementation of our business
plan.
Item
1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Prior to
the effective date of the S-1 Registration Statement we received written
comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission staff that resulted in our
filing two amendments to our S-1 Registration Statement, before the Securities
and Exchange Commission declared it effective on March 13, 2008. This Form 10-K
is the first report that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; as a result we have not received any written comments from the
Securities and Exchange Commission staff in connection with a review of periodic
reports. Should we receive comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission
regarding this 10-K report, we will address those comments and amend our Form
10-K accordingly.

basis, including utilities. There are no other terms to the verbal lease,
including notice of termination terms or procedures. The leased space at 8040
South Kolb Road occupies 6500 square feet, which is occupied one-third each by
Atlas Precious Metals, American International Trading Company, and us. We pay
Atlas Precious Metals $1,800 per month for our space at this location. Our space
is adequate for our purposes.
Our Subsidiary’s
Offices
Sonora,
Mexico
Our
wholly owned Mexico based subsidiary, Metales Preciosis, has a verbal lease with
the Mrs. Elsa Bringas Taddei, the property owner of our foreign exploration

square feet at these offices, which is adequate for their purposes. There are no
other terms to the verbal lease, including notice of termination terms of
procedures.
We do not
intend to renovate, improve, or develop our corporate offices properties. We do
intend upon improving and developing our exploration properties as explained
below. We are not subject to competitive conditions for property. Because we
lease our corporate offices, we have no property to insure regarding our
corporate offices. We have no policy with respect to investments in real estate
or interests in real estate and no policy with respect to investments in real

Exploration Properties and
Claims
Overview of Exploration
Properties and Claims
We have
the right to explore for various metals, including gold, silver, copper, lead,
zinc, berite; however, our initial primary activities will focus on the
exploration of silver. Our rights were obtained through outright property
acquisition, staking of Bureau of Land Management claims, and purchase of Bureau
of Land Management claims. None of our rights have been obtained through leases.
Our properties are located in Box Elder County, Utah, State of Sonora Mexico,
and San Bernardino County, California. These properties are known
as:
|
·
|
The
Tecoma property located in Box Elder County Utah;
|
|
·
|
The
El Cumbro, El Cusito, Canada de Oro, and La Moneda properties located in
Sonora, Mexico; and
|
|
·
|
The
Leviathan property located in San Bernardino County,
California.
|
We also
plan to explore for various metals on the not yet acquired Langtry Property, if
we are successful in purchasing this property.
With
respect to our properties for exploration purposes, if our operations progress
to development stage, we may develop our properties. We are subject to
competitive conditions for exploration properties since our competitors may be
in a better operational and financial position to compete against us for
desirable properties. Additionally, there are material issues regarding whether
we do or do not insure our properties.

Geology
and History
The ore
deposits appear as replacements and fracture fillings in limestone and dolomite.
The replacements are usually located along faults and pipes formed by the
intersections of faults and fractures. A large body of igneous rock crops out
east of the deposits and a smaller body crops out one-half mile north of
Regulator Canyon on the west side of the Pilot Range. These igneous bodies may
have been responsible for the mineralization, but only non-commercial metal
occurrences have been found adjacent to the contacts. Mineralogically, the
deposits are of two types, those dominating in copper minerals and those
dominating in lead, silver and zinc.
Minerals
include smithsonite, hemimorphite; and in lesser quantities, limonitic
anglesite, wulfenite, barite, pyrite, galena, spahalerite and native
silver.
The
Tecoma Hill and Copper Mountain workings have provided at least 90% of the
district’s production. These are located on a badly faulted horst with boundary
faults that trend west by northwest and cut across the range at right
angles.
The
Tecoma Mine was originally discovered around 1864 and became the basis for the
organization of the Lucin Mining District on September 2, 1872. The American
Tecoma Company, or the Tecoma Mining Company, owned eight patented claims that
formed the basis of the Tecoma Mine. In 1872, the mine was sold to Howland &
Aspinwall of New York. The latter owners extracted several thousand tons of ore
averaging about 35 ounces of silver per ton and 45% lead. Two well-defined
surface ore bodies were mined to supply this ore. The mine operated until 1875
or 1876. In the lower parts of the ore bodies, considerable amounts of wulfenite
was discovered.
Of the
several mines on the Tecoma property, the Tecoma Mine had the greatest
production. Its workings are partly open, especially the Henry Tunnel. Large
quantities of limonite still remain in the mine along with the remnants of
former lead-silver-zinc ore bodies. The better lead-silver ore bodies were
contained in a northeast trending fault zone that becomes barren at the east
extremity of the property. The fault planes and relationship to ore are well
exposed in the mine.
The above
information pertaining to deposits only depicts historical information reflected
in the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey Bulletin 115. 1980 and has no
significance whatsoever whether deposits presently exist on the Tecoma
Property.
The mine
has been inactive since 1961.

Metales
Preciosos S.A. de C.V.
In
November 2006, we acquired from our affiliate, Atlas Precious Metals, Inc., 98%
of the equity of Metales Preciosos, S.A. de C.V. (“Metales Preciosos”), a Mexico
corporation, by issuing 300,000 shares of our common stock to Atlas Precious
Metals that owned Metales Preciosos since October 2003. Our Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Harold R. Shipes, owns the remaining 2%. Metales Preciosos, which
we now own, owns a 100% undivided interest in the following four properties
located in the southeast part of the State of Sonora, Mexico:
|
·
|
The
El Cumbro Property is composed of 774.8 acres located 123 miles southeast
of the city of Hermosillo and 6.5 kilometers northeast of the town of
Tepoca, Sonora, near Yecora and the border between the States of Sonora
and Chihuahua, Mexico. The highway from Hermosillo to Yecora is a paved
road in excellent condition.
|
|
·
|
The
El Cusito Property is comprised of 184.8 acres and abuts the El Cumbro
Property to the east.
|
|
·
|
Canada
de Oro is comprised of 486 acres and is an alluvial gold property abutting
the El Cumbro property and extending from the El Cumbro property southeast
for approximately five kilometers;
|
|
·
|
The
La Moneda gold property is composed of 416.84 acres and is located in the
western part of the State of Sonora, approximately 14 kilometers inland
from the Gulf of Cortez near the port city of Puerto
Libertad.
|
Preciosos
maintains a small exploration office in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, from which
it conducts exploration on the various properties and performs required
administration of its mining properties.
Currently,
there are no proven mine grade ore reserves and we are in the exploration stage;
however, there are identified veins and potential for ore grade
mineralization.
La
Moneda:
We own a
100% undivided interest in a 416.14 hectare claim block through our acquisition
of Metales Preciosos. This claim was the focus of an intensive work campaign
during the Spanish Colonial Era; however, little systematic work has been
conducted since that time and no production records are available. A portion of
an open cut on a vein measuring 2.8 meters thick were open and were sampled
during the scout sampling.
The La
Moneda property is located 25 kilometers east of Puerto Libertad on the west
coast of Sonora, 126 kilometers southeast of Caborca, Sonora. The access to the
property is paved roads to the town of Puerto Libertad with the last 14
kilometers over unpaved maintained road in excellent condition. The nearest
electrical power to the property is 10 kilometers away. The property forms the
heart of a gold district on the Aguirre Mountain, the site of numerous gold
workings comprised of both alluvial and hard rock mines. The property has one
Spanish Colonial Era adit. The property is a pure exploration
property.
El
Cumbro and El Cusito Properties:
The
properties host multiple lode veins that were last worked during the Spanish
Colonial Era. The veins on the property generally trend in a northeast southwest
direction and extend for several kilometers. The multiple veins generally are
parallel. The ore is polymetallic in nature, containing silver, gold, zinc, lead
and copper in abundance. Numerous workings exist on the properties and date back
to the Spanish Colonial Era.
The
multiple adits on the property are generally un-passable without clean out and
shoring. Colonial workings are shallow and occurred on veins that demonstrated
high-grade surface expression. During due diligence, samples were from material
collected by trench sampling of waste dumps and assayed and demonstrate the
potential for high-grade ore material on most of the veins. The workings were on
veins showing a minimum width of one meter to as much as five meters. There are
three distinct veins of mineable widths. The El Cumbro vein has the widest and
highest grades.
The El
Cumbro and El Cusito properties are located 205 kilometers southeast of the city
of Hermosillo and 6.5 kilometers northeast of the town of Tepoca, Sonora, near
Yecora and the border between the States of Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico. The
highway from Hermosillo to Yecora is a paved road in excellent
condition.
Claims
to the Mexico Properties
We hold
stamped and approved claims for the El Cumbro, El Cusito, Canada De Oro, and La
Moneda properties that were obtained from the Mexico Bureau of Mines in Mexico
City. In order to obtain these claims we were required to erect a monument on
the property that designates staking of these claims. In conformity with the
Mexico Bureau of Mines regulations, we retained the services of a Mexico
licensed claims surveyor to verify the monument that we erected to stake the
claim, which is submitted with the claims application with the Mexico Bureau of
Mines, to officially identify the claims, who reviews the property to confirm
that there are no conflicting claims and then approves the claim application and
they are then recorded in the name of the claimant. We are required to pay an
annual maintenance fees and is current on all claims.

Property
Description, Location and Access
The
Langtry property covers approximately 413 acres of patented mining claims in San
Bernardino County. California.
The
Langtry property is located approximately 10 miles northeast of the town of
Barstow, California, 145 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The small communities
of Dagget and Yermo, California lie about six miles east from Barstow on
Interstate 15 and taking the Meridian Road exit, then east one mile on Frontage
Road to the Yermo cutoff, then 3.2 miles north on Merdian Road to the paved
portion of the Randberg-Barstow Road, then two miles north to a dirt road which
leads eastward onto the claims. Access to the property is accessible year round.
There are no weather related conditions preventing access to the property on a
year round basis. We know of no environmental or archeological issues related to
this property.
Geology
and History
The
Langtry property is located in the Calico Mining District. Generally, the
topography of the Langtry property consists of low, steep mountain ranges
separated by broad alluvial valleys. The climate is hot and dry. The claims are
located along the western edge of the Calico Mountains at elevations ranging
from 2400 feet in the southwest area to over 2800 feet along the base of a steep
ridge to the northeast. The land surface of the property slopes southwest
towards the valley floor. Many small arroyos cross the claims and have dissected
much of the relatively flat pediment surface, creating a series of low,
flat-topped ridges separated by steep-walled sandy washes.
The
source for the above information is from “Mineral Report, Mineral Patent
Application for 21 Lode Mining Claims”, San Bernadino County, California dated
September 10, 1974 as prepared by Carl L. Livesay, Mining Engineer, and Tom
Woodward, Geologist, on behalf of Superior Oil Company, Minerals
Division
There is
no visual identification of the silver mineralization at the surface. Superior
Oil Company originally patented the property on September 10, 1974 by filing
Lode Mining Claims Patent Application R-4645, following a rotary drill program
that commenced in 1971 and was completed in 1973. The drilling program conducted
by Superior Oil Company consisted of over 200 rotary drill holes, surface
trenches and access roads . The rotary drill cuttings were collected on
five-foot intervals and assayed for silver and barite. The drill sites were
verified on the individual claims and the assay data was correlated for each
claim. The surface cuts and trenches were excavated to expose sample locations
on the limited outcrops.
Leviathan
Property
The
Leviathan Property consists of 60 unpatented mining claims, which were acquired
through staking and filing Notices of Location with the Bureau of Land
Management. The Claims are referred to collectively as the Leviathan Claims and
are grouped as Leviathan 1 through Leviathan 14, and Lilly 11-20 that were
approved by the Bureau of Land Management in September and October 2007, at
which time the Bureau of Land Management approved the Company’s Notice of
Location for Lode Mining Claims stating that we have located and have the right
to the Leviathan unpatented mining claims. Each claim consists of 20.7 acres,
for a total of 1304 acres.
Property
Description, Location and Access
The
Leviathan Property consists of 60 unpatented lode mining claims encompassing
1,304 acres.
The
Leviathan Property abuts the Langtry Property described above directly to the
north and east. is located approximately 10 miles northeast of the town of
Barstow, California, 145 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The small communities
of Dagget and Yermo, California lie about six miles east from Barstow on
Interstate 15 and taking the Meridian Road exit, then east one mile on Frontage
Road to the Yermo cutoff, then 3.2 miles north on Merdian Road to the paved
portion of the Randberg-Barstow Road, then two miles north to a dirt road which
leads eastward onto the claims. Access to the property is accessible year round.
There are no weather related conditions preventing access to the property on a
year round basis. We know of no environmental or archeological issues related to
this property.
Geology and
History
The
mineralization of the Leviathan Property occurs in a series of parallel veins up
to 50 feet wide in a zone several hundred feet wide and primarily visible at the
surface. The veins strike NW/SE, dip steeply to almost vertical, and are
traceable for 1.25 miles on the property. Country rock is tertiary volcanics in
related pyroclastic and sedimentary formations. The vein system is located
northeast of the Calico Fault.
Over
100,000 tons of barite ore were mined in the early 1950’s by open pit methods in
a large cut known as the Leviathan Cut. Approximately 50,000 tons of drilling
mud grade barite was shipped. Previous to this, all workings on the property
were underground silver mining in the Silverado Mine and the Silver Bow Mine,
believed to occur in the late 1890’s. Records are sketchy and no reliable
information on these two mines has been located. The above information
pertaining to mining only depicts historical information and has no significance
whatsoever whether deposits presently exist on the Leviathan
property.

We relied
upon Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the

offer or sale; (b) all purchasers were accredited investors; (c) we placed
restrictive legends on the certificates representing these securities issued to
the accredited investors stating that the securities were not registered under
the Securities Act and are subject to restrictions on their transferability and
resale; and (d) the offer and sale did not involve a public
offering.
Use of
Proceeds
Not
applicable. Although we received proceeds from the sale of our common stock in a
private placement and under the immediately above indicated exemptions, we did
not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock by the Selling
Shareholders indicated in our S-1 Registration Statement.

financial statements and its related notes. The terms “we,” “our” or “us” refer
to International Silver, Inc. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, and estimates. The
words or phrases “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “anticipates,” or similar
expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.” The results
shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any
future periods. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in

We are an
exploration stage company that engages in minerals exploration activities in the
United States and Mexico involving silver, gold, zinc, copper and other
minerals. To-date, we have generated no significant revenues since approximately
(month/year), when we discontinued our business plan of providing engineering
services and commenced our new business of mineral exploration. To date, our
exploration activities have been limited to the exploration and purchasing of
mineral interests in the United States and Mexico.
Financial Condition and
Changes in Financial Condition
At
December 31, 2007, we had cash resources $51,283 and receivables of $200,261,
which is sufficient to conduct our exploration activities and meet our maturing
obligations for several months. Our continued activities are dependent upon
obtaining adequate financing, as described below. Our financial condition as of
December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 is summarized below, as
follows:
Assets.
As of
December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $349,578 compared to total assets of
$332,777 as of December 31, 2006, representing a 5% increase or $16,801. Current
assets comprise 72% and 71% of our total assets at December 31, 2007 and

Total
liabilities decreased by 51% or $125,574 to $122,850 at December 31, 2007,
compared to $248,424 at December 31, 2006. This decrease is due to the
conversion of $168,093 of debt for equity, net of an increase in accrued
interest, rent and payables of $42,519.
Shareholders’
Equity increased by 168% or $142,375 to $226,728 as of December 31, 2007,
compared to $84,353 as of December 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to:
(a) the issuance of shares for: (i) cash of $80,000; and (ii) services valued at
$21,500; and (b) the exchange of shares for the reduction of $168,093 of debt,
net of the losses in the amount of $127,218 incurred in 2007.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Working
capital decreased by $25,343 or 16% to $129,706 at December 31, 2007, compared
to $155,049 at December 31, 2006. Cash on hand increased by $49,241 as a result
of proceeds from the sale of our common stock sold in a private placement, while
receivables and prepaid expenses decreased by $32,065 and accounts payable and
accrued expenses increased by $42,519.
Net cash
outflows from operating activities decreased by 201% or $20,541 to $(30,759) at
December 31, 2007, compared to ($10,218) at December 31, 2006. This decrease is
primarily the result of losses incurred in the current period ended December 31,
2007.
During
2007 there we re no investing activities, while in 2006 we
purchased land for $90,000 and we had $6,668 in equipment
purchases.
Cash
flows from financing activities at December 31, 2007 were $80,000, compared to
$95,480 at December 31, 2006. During 2007, we sold 260,000
shares of
common stock in a
private placement that yielded $80,000 in cash proceeds.
Our new
business plan does not reflect, nor do we anticipate, any revenues during our
exploration phase, aside from ongoing engineering services rendered to an
affiliate for feasibility studies. We do not anticipate any other
type of revenue until we complete the purchase of the Langtry property, confirm
previously demonstrated mineralization, obtain operating permits, and construct
mining and processing facilities; there is no assurance that we will have
sufficient financing to accomplish or otherwise be successful at meeting these
objectives. At the same time, we must complete similar actions at our Tecoma
properties and our Mexican properties, similarly of which there is no guarantee
of success or that we will have sufficient financing to accomplish those
objectives.
Our
auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our audited financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 as we have an accumulated deficit of
$464,210. These and other matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. We will have to supplement our currently available
funds to satisfy our cash requirements for the immediate months by attempting to
collect upon existing receivables and raising funds through an equity funding.
We anticipate total spending requirements of approximately $19,000,000 pending
adequate financing over the next eighteen months, in the following
areas:
|
·
|
$8,000,000
for the acquisition of the Langtry
property;
|
|
·
|
$8,986,500
to proceed with the exploration of our properties and claims to determine
whether there are commercially exploitable reserves of silver, gold,
barite, lead, and zinc
|
|
·
|
$500,000
for working capital;
|
|
·
|
$200,000
for legal and accounting expenses;
and
|
|
·
|
$1,300,000
for general and administrative
expenses
|
We
plan to undertake the following steps in our attempt to overcome our going
concern qualification and our need for $18,986,500 of financing to accomplish
our operational plan:
|
·
|
Contact
broker-dealers to discuss and negotiate a broker dealer acting as an
underwriter to conduct a public offering of our common stock sufficient to
raise $18,986,600;
|
|
·
|
Contact
other companies with sufficient financial resources to fund our
operational activities to discuss and negotiate a joint venture
arrangement or a merger transaction where we would combine our business
interests and objectives;
|
|
·
|
Contact
the fund managers of hedge funds and mutual funds to determine whether
their interest in investing in our common stock sufficient to obtain
adequate financing; and
|
|
·
|
Raise
financing through a private placement of our common
stock
|
Results of
Operations
We
incurred losses of $127,218 during the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase
of $60,224 over the prior year. The increase is due primarily to the change in
our focus from engineering services to conducting exploration
activities.
An
analysis of the major components of our results of operations is, as
follows:
Revenues.
During the
year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had revenues of $119,838
and $209,665, respectively. This decrease in revenues of 43% or $89,827 is
directly related to our change in business from engineering services to
exploration, which resulted in the cessation of our rendering
engineering services other than the completion of feasibility studies and
related work.
Operating Loss.
Operating losses increased by 122% or $64,944 to $118,127 for the
year ended December 31, 2007, from $53,183 for the year ended December 31,
2006. This increase in loss over those incurred in 2006 was primarily due
to the decrease in revenue of engineering services.
Exploration Expenses
. Exploration costs decreased by 67% or $46,169 to $22,902 for the year
ended December 31, 2007, from $69,071 for the comparable 2006 period.
Exploration costs decreased as a result of a reduction in exploratory
activities.
General & Administrative
Expenses.
General and administrative expense increased by 10% or
$20,132 to $213,846 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $193,714
during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in our general
administrative expense is primarily attributable to costs associated with
funding procurement, such as consulting fees, legal and travel
costs.
Depreciation and Depletion
Expenses
. Depreciation and depletion expenses increased by $312 to
$375 during the year ended December 31, 2007 from $63 during the same period in
2006. This increase was due to a full year’s of depreciation taken
for year 2007 on assets purchased during 2006.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased by
34% or $4,720 to $9,091 from $13,811 during the same 2006 period. The
decrease was due to the conversion of $ 168,093 of debt to common stock
during the third quarter of 2007.
Net Loss.
Net
loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 90% or $60,224 to
$127,218 from $66,994 during the same 2006 period. This increase in loss
was due primarily to the decrease in engineering services revenue and increased
general administrative expenses of 10% or $20,132, when comparing our 2007
fiscal year to our 2006 fiscal year.
Exploration
Costs – Inception to Date
On
June 16, 2006, our Board of Directors passed a resolution to change the nature
of its operations from an engineering services company to an exploration
company. Since converting our business plan to conducting exploration
activities, we have engaged in the following exploration
activities.
|
1)
|
Hired
a geotechnical consultant to assist launching an exploration
program;
|
|
|
|
|
2)
|
Commenced

During
our early stage of exploration activities, from June 16, 2006 through December
31, 2007, we incurred an additional $306,637 in general and administration
expenses, which are comprised primarily of salaries, rent, consulting fees,
interest and travel expenditures.
Accumulated
losses of $293,660 incurred from the inception of the “exploration phase”
accounts for approximately 63% of the accumulated deficit of $464,210 reflected
in the Shareholders’ Equity section of our financial statements. Our prior
engineering activities accounts for the other portion of the
deficit.
Uncertainties and
Trends
Our
revenues are dependent now, and in the future, upon the following
factors:
|
|
Price
volatility in worldwide commodity prices, including silver, gold, and
other minerals, which is affected by: (a) sale or purchase of silver by
central banks and financial institutions; (b) interest rates; (c) currency
exchange rates; (d) currency exchange rates; (e) inflation or deflation;
(f) speculation; and (g) fluctuating prices in worldwide and local
commodities for petroleum-related products, chemicals, and solvents, which
will affect our ability to obtain additional and continuing
funding;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Global
and regional supply and demand of silver, bold, and other minerals,
including investment, industrial and jewelry demand;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Political
and economic conditions of major silver, gold or other mineral-producing
countries;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Threatened
changes to the U.S. Mining Law that may cause increasing federal land
royalties, or other unanticipated consequences and related increased costs
of conduct in mining operations in the United States;
and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Our
Mexican properties are subject to foreign risk, such as passage of onerous
regulatory exploration and mining requirements and availability of
materials and supplies.
|
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We
have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual
arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under whom we
have
·
|
An
obligation under a guarantee contract,
|
|
|
·
|
a

Changes in Accounting
Policies
The
significant accounting policies outlined within our Consolidated Financial
Statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been applied consistently
for the December 31 year-ends of 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS
No.155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement amends FASB No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.
This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issued
No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets.” The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets and Amendment of FASB Statement 140. This statement amends FASB Statement
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, regarding the accounting for separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No.
156 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This
statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures
about fair measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those years. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on our
consolidated financial statements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans and Amendment of FASB Statements
No 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This statement improves financial reporting by
requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or underfunded status of a
defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an
asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets
of a not for profit organization. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
Our Plan
of Operations has been organized for each of our properties and claims to
account for the similarities and differences in the location, geology, the
prospective metals that may be hosted by each property or claim, and the current
stage of exploration of each property and claim; accordingly, we have several
Plans of Operations to account for those similarities and differences among our
various properties and claims. Our Plans of Operations represent our Phase I
exploration activities and are for a period of eighteen months. Based upon our
analysis of the test results and feasibility studies, we will determine whether
to proceed with Phase II exploration and development, which will consist of
expanding identified ore blocks to the proven classification, permitting, and
development. We cannot determine, predict, or assure whether we will be able to
proceed with Phase II exploration and development activities regarding any of
our properties or claims. Our exploration activities will be conducted under the
overall direction of our Consulting Geologist, but each Plan of Operations
described below will be directly managed and supervised by a Field Geologist
that we hire.

The Langtry property in San
Bernardino County, California
Our
entire Plan of Operations regarding the Langtry property is contingent upon
paying $8,000,000 to close on the purchase of the property, for which there is
no assurance whatsoever that we will obtain sufficient financing.
We will
explore the Langtry property for silver and barite at a total cost of $
4,570,000. Our Plan of Operations regarding the Langtry Property is interfaced
with and has been formulated in conjunction with the exploration activities
conducted by Superior Oil from 1971 to 1974, which are supported by drill
reports, assay results, mapping, grade and tonnage calculations, all of which we
possess. Our exploration activities will be geared toward comparing our test
results against the Superior Oil’s prior drilling activities and results to
confirm the grade and tonnage calculations, and thus re-classify the reserves to
the proven category, if any. This will entail 10,000 meters of new drilling,
sample splitting and preparation, assaying, reserve calculations, mine planning,
metallurgical testing and mill design, final feasibility studies and
permitting.

International
Silver, Inc.
(An
Exploration Stage Enterprise)
We have
audited the accompanying restated balance sheets of International Silver, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and
the related restated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and since inception
of Exploration Stage June 16, 2006 through December 31, 2007. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the restated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of International Silver, Inc. (An
Exploration Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and the
results of its restated operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and since inception of Exploration Stage June
16, 2006 though December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the
financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $464,210 as of
December 31, 2007, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are
also described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

International
Silver, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements
Note A - Organization and
Business
Organization and Nature of
Business
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Arizona on September 4, 1992 as ARX
Engineering, Inc. On October 6, 1992, ARX Engineering, Inc. changed its name to
Western States Engineering and Construction, Inc. On June 20, 2006, the Company
changed its name to International Silver, Inc. in connection with its new
business plan and acquisition of the Tecoma property in the Lucin Mining
District in Utah and the acquisition of mineralized properties in Sonora,
Mexico. These acquisitions were based on the Board of Director’s decision to
adopt a business plan of conducting silver exploration on an international
basis.
Further,
on July 14, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to reflect
the Board’s decision to expand its authorized common stock from 1,000 shares to
500,000,000 to accommodate future equity financing.
The
business strategy consists of acquiring and exploring high-grade silver
properties throughout North and South America. The initial objective is to
initiate an intensive reconnaissance and exploration program around the Tecoma
property workings and on the El Cumbro and El Cusito properties of the Company’s
wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Metales Preciosos Atlas, S.A. de C.V., to
identify potentially high-grade silver targets and to evaluate other properties
in each of the districts for possible acquisition.
The
Company is an enterprise in the exploration stage as set forth in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards, "SFAS" No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by
Development Stage Enterprises" and "Industry Guide 7" of the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Guides for the Preparation of Registration Statements and
with the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration's "Guide for Reporting
Exploration Information, Mineral Resources, and Mineral Reserves" dated March 1,
1999.
Key Properties
With the
Board of Directors’ decision to change its focus from providing mine engineering
services to conducting silver and other mineral exploration activities, the
Company acquired the Tecoma property on July 18, 2006, which encompasses
approximately 30 acres and ten patented lode claims and is located on the Nevada
Utah border. The 30-acre purchase was then followed by the additional purchase
of 40 acres adjacent to the initial parcel on September 19, 2006.
Subsequently,
the acquisition of four mineralized properties in Sonora, Mexico, described
below, resulted from the exchange of its common stock for 98% equity interest in
a foreign subsidiary of an affiliate, Atlas Precious Metals, Inc. in November,
2006.
The
Leviathan property located in San Bernardino County, California, consists of 60
unpatented mining claims, which the Company acquired through staking and filing
notices of location. The Company's Leviathan claims were approved by the Bureau
of Land Management in September and October 2007.
Metales Preciosos Atlas S.A.
de C.V. (Mexican Subsidiary Company)
In
November 1, 2006, the Company acquired from Atlas Precious Metals, Inc., 98% of
the equity of Metales Preciosos Atlas, S.A. de C.V. (“Preciosos”), a Mexico
corporation, by issuing 300,000 shares of its common stock to Atlas Precious
Metals. Preciosos owns a 100% undivided interest in four mining properties
located in the southeast part of the State of Sonora, as follows: (a) El Cumbro,
the most significant of the properties; (b) El Cusito, located adjacent to the
El Cumbro property; and (c) Canada de Oro, an alluvial gold property extending
from the El Cumbro property southeast for approximately five kilometers. In
addition, Preciosos owns a 100% undivided interest in the La Moneda gold
property located in the western part of the State of Sonora, approximately 14
kilometers inland from the Gulf of Cortez near the port city of Puerto Libertad.
Preciosos maintains a small exploration on the various properties and performs
required administration of its mineral properties. Valuation of these properties
were based on the explorations expenditures incurred to-date by the related
company that sold Metales Preciosos the rights to these properties.
Going Concern
Considerations
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
has an accumulated deficit of $464,210 as of December 31, 2007, which raises
substantial doubt for the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Management is in the process of obtaining additional funds,
including private placements of stock and a Regulation D offering.
Note B - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of
Consolidation
The
financial statements include the accounts of International Silver, Inc. and its
subsidiary Metals Preciosos Atlas, S.A. de C.V., Mexico. The Company’s financial
condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company has elected to
adopt U.S. currency as the functional currency for the accounting of its Mexican
subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Use of
Estimates
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 notes. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates
include the determination of mineral ore quantities and the depletion expense
calculation, if applicable, useful lives of property and equipment for
depreciation, impairment valuations and calculation of any deferred taxes.
Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be
material to the financial statements.
Foreign
Currency
The
functional currency for our foreign subsidiary is U.S. dollars. The Company has
elected to use the “remeasurement method”, also referred to as the
“monetary/nonmonetary method” pursuant to FAS 52. This method translates
monetary assets at the current rate, while nonmonetary assets, liabilities and
equity are translated at their appropriate historical rates. Where the local
currency is used to record transactions, any material currency translation gains
or losses would be included as an element of comprehensive income in the
statement of operations and in the equity section of the balance
sheet.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Our cash
equivalents and prepaid expenses (and trade receivables when recorded) are
exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We manage and control risk by
maintaining cash with major financial institutions. Management believes that the
financial institutions are financially sound and the risk of loss is
low.
Concentrations and Economic
Vulnerability
Concentrations
and economic vulnerability include reliance on several areas containing our
mining prospects in isolated regions of Mexico, limited financial capacity of
related parties and/or others to continue funding operations.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Due to
their short-term nature, the carrying value of our current financial assets and
liabilities approximates their fair values. The fair value of our borrowings, if
recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ
from the recorded amounts.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For the
statement of cash flows, any liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less at the time of acquisition are considered to be cash
equivalents.
Accounts
Receivables
Trade
receivables are stated, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, based on
prior experience. At December 31, 2007 receivables were $200,261, net of an
allowance for uncollectible accounts in the amount of $4,608. At December 31,
2006 , trade receivables were $232,022, net of an allowance for uncollectible
accounts of $12,213 and at December 31, 2005, trade receivables were $128,641,
net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $6,770.
Inventories
In-process
inventories represent ore that is currently in the process of being converted to
a saleable product. In-process inventories, if any, are valued at the lower of
average production cost or net realizable value. At December 31, 2007 there were
no inventories on hand.
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, which revised ARB No. 43, relating
to inventory costs. This revision is to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material
(spoilage). This Statement requires that these items be recognized as a current
period charge regardless of whether they meet the criterion specified in ARB 43.
In addition, this Statement requires the allocation of fixed production
overheads to the costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the
production facilities. This Statement is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to
expense as incurred, and renewals and improvements that extend the useful life
of assets are capitalized. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed
using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives as
follows:
Mining
equipment
|
7
years
|
Vehicles
|
3
years
|
Office
equipment
|
5
years
|
Depreciation
expense of $375 has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007. For the
year ended December 31, 2006, depreciation expense was $63 and none for the year
ended December 31, 2005.
Mineral
Development
Costs
associated with the acquisition of mineral interests, in the exploration stage,
are “expensed”. Mineral exploration costs are also “expensed” as incurred. Mine
infrastructure development costs incurred prior to establishing proven and
probable reserves are expensed. When it otherwise becomes probable that
infrastructure costs will not be recoverable, they are impaired. When it has
been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, the costs
incurred to develop such property, including costs to further delineate the ore
body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body, are capitalized as
incurred. These costs will then be amortized using the units-of-production
method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable
ounces of proven and probable reserves.
To the
extent that any development costs benefit an entire mineralized property, they
are amortized over the estimated life of the property. The specific capitalized
cost bases subject to depletion are calculated on a formula based on the number
of tons of ore that are expected to be mined divided by the total tons in proven
and probable reserves in the property. To date, no development has occurred, nor
has depletion has been taken, since production has not commenced.
Mineral Interests and
Property
Mineral
interests include the costs of acquired mineral rights and royalty interests in
production, development and exploration stage properties.
Production
stage mineral interests represent interests in operating properties that contain
proven and probable reserves. Development stage mineral interests represent
interests in properties under development that contain proven and probable
reserves. Exploration stage mineral interests represent interests in properties
that are believed to potentially contain mineralized material.
Mineral
interests related to mining properties in the production stage are amortized
over the life of the related property using the Units of Production method in
order to match the amortization with the expected underlying future cash flows.
Development stage mineral interests are not amortized until such time as the
underlying property is converted to the production stage. At December 31, 2007,
all mineral interests were in the exploration stage.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company adheres to the Statement of Financial Standard ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which
requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the
estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset and
would be calculated based on discounted cash flows. At December 31, 2007, no
assets were impaired.
Revenue Recognition and
Production Costs
Revenue
is recognized when the price is determinable, upon delivery and transfer of
title of product to the customer and when the collection of sales proceeds is
assured. Production costs of silver, gold and other precious metals sold include
labor and related direct and indirect costs of mine and plant operations.
Production costs are charged to operations as incurred. At December 31, 2007,
there had been no production from any of the Company's properties.
Reclamation and Remediation
Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)
The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."
SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. Since the Company’s activities are in the exploration
and feasibility stage, there is no legal or contractual obligation for
reclamation or remediation of our mines or mining interests. As a result, the
adoption of SFAS No. 143 does not currently have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Earnings (Loss) Per
Share
Basic
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to
the common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts
to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted
in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company,
unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. The
Company has no potential common stock instruments, which would result in diluted
income (loss) per share as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 is an
asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In
estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers all expected
future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. Income
tax information is disclosed in Note E to the consolidated financial
statements.
Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax
credit carry forwards and deferred tax assets are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The total
deferred tax asset is 37% of the cumulative net operating loss.
Net
deferred tax assets consists of the following components as of December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005

At
December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating carry forwards of $206,131 for
federal income tax purposes and $212,,419 for state income tax purposes that may
be offset against future taxable income from years 2008 through 2026. No tax
benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2007 consolidated financial
statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of
the same amount.
Due to
the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating
loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to
annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry
forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Statement of Cash Flows
Information and Supplemental Non-Cash Financing Activities
There
were minimal interest payments during for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005.
“Non-cash" investing and financing transactions during the reported periods
related primarily to the issuance of common stock in exchange for legal and
other professional services and for mineral interests, as disclosed in Note C
and Note F and stock issued to a related party for cancellation of indebtedness,
as disclosed in Note G.
Certain Equity
Instruments
In June
2003, the FASB approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150,
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both
Liabilities and Equity" (“ SFAS No. 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards
for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. At December 31, 2007, the
Company is not impacted by this requirement.
Comprehensive
Income
Standards
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (“SFAS 130”), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. For
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have any
material items of comprehensive income.
Derivative
Instruments
In June
1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities”. This statement as amended by SFAS No. 137 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Currently, the Company does not have
any derivative financial instruments and does not participate in hedging
activities. Therefore, SFAS No. 133 did not have an impact on its financial
position or results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006
and 2005.
Stock-Based
Compensation
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS
No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," a revision to FASB No. 123. SFAS No. 123R
replaces existing requirements under SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 25, and
requires “public” companies to recognize the cost of employee services received
in exchange for equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those
instruments, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 123R also affects the pattern in
which compensation cost is recognized, the accounting for employee share
purchase plans, and the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment
transactions. For small-business filers, SFAS No.123R is effective for interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
Non-Monetary
Exchanges
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153. This Statement addresses the
measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No.
29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions, is based on the principle that
exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain
exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends APB No. Opinion 29 to
eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets
and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change
significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier
application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal
years beginning after the date that this Statement was issued. The exchange of
the Company’s common stock for a 98% interest in Metales Preciosos Atlas, S.A.
de C.V. is covered under Note D.
Note C – Property,

Pursuant
to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company has elected to
forego the carry-back provisions, allowable under the IRS regulations, for the
stated accounting periods.
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $71,851, but
due to a going-concern issue, Management made an allowance for a provision of an
equal amount, should the Company not be able to avail itself of that tax
benefit. No permanent or temporary timing differences between book and tax
income have occurred through December 31, 2007.
Note F – Shareholders’
Equity
The
Company was incorporated on September 4, 1992 with the initial issuance of 1,000
shares of common stock at a par value of $1.00 per share. On June, 2006 the
Board of Directors adopted a new business strategy to change its emphasis from
providing engineering services to conducting mine exploration and development.
As a result, the Board of Directors amended its Articles of Incorporation to
authorize 500,000,000 shares of common stock, at a par value of $0.0001 to allow
for equity financing. Additionally, the Board of Directors passed a resolution
to effectuate a stock split of 12,000 to 1. On July 24, 2006, the shareholders
of record (3) were given their new share distribution of 4,000,000 shares
each.
Subsequently,
additional shares of common stock were issued in exchange for services
(1,600,000), in exchange for land (30,000) and in exchange for 98% interest in
the holdings of Metales Preciosos Atlas, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican subsidiary
(300,000 shares). During 2007, the Company conducted a private placement with an
additional 260,000 shares of common stock issued at $0.50 per share to various
individuals for cash and also issued 336,186 shares, at $0.50 per share, to
cancel Company indebtedness, as explained in Note G.
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock
and 14,526,186 shares had been issued and are outstanding.

Mineral
interests, acquired in year 2006 in the amount of $54,260, reflect the
acquisition of a 98% interest in Metales Preciosos, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican
subsidiary, which has an “undivided interest” in three mining properties
(claims) and also a 98% “undivided interest” in a gold exploration property (La
Moneda).
On
September 11, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of
the Langtry Silver-Barite property located in the Calico Mining District in
county of San Bernardino, California for $ 8.0 million by placing an earnest
deposit of $10,000 in escrow. In addition, on September 13, 2007, the Company
identified a large block of open ground adjacent to the Langtry property, which
includes the Leviathan property, the Silverado property and the Silver Bow
property and immediately proceeded to stake and file on this ground. The Company
staked and filed a total of 25 lode-mining claims in the Calico District,
adjacent to the Langtry property. These claims and purchase option payment
amounted to an additional $22,770.
Note K – Restatement of
Financial Statements

|
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Not
applicable. We do not have a class of equity securities registered under Section
12 of the Exchange Act.
Code
of Ethics
We have
not yet adopted a Code of Ethics
Corporate
Governance:
a.
Director Independence
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; that trading medium does not
have director independence requirements. Under Item 407(a) of Regulation S-B, we
have adopted the definition of independence used by the American Stock Exchange,
which may be found in the American Stock Exchange Company guide at (s) 121(A)(2)
(2007). Under this definition, none of our directors are independent, because
our Board of Directors cannot affirmatively determine that any of our directors
do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out their responsibilities of a director.
b.
Committees
We do not
have audit, nominating, or compensation committees or committees performing
similar functions nor a written nominating, compensation of audit committee
charter. Our Board of Directors as a whole decides such matters, including those
that would be performed by a standing nominating committee. Our Board of
Directors has not adopted any processes or procedures for considering executive
and director compensation.
We have not yet adopted
an audit, compensation, or nominating committees because we have not
sufficiently developed our operations and have generated no revenues since we
changed our business model to exploration activities. Additionally, we do not
currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to
our Board of Directors nor do we have any process or procedure for evaluating
such nominees.
c.
Shareholder Communications
Our Board
of Directors does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our
stockholders to send communications to our Board of Directors, including
submission of recommendations for nominating directors. We have not yet
adopted a process for our security holders to communicate with our Board of
Directors because we have not sufficiently developed our operations and
corporate governance structure.
d.
Board of Director Meetings.
During
fiscal year 2007, we had four Board of Directors meetings that were held on the
following dates: (a) January 10, 2007; (b) March 29, 2007; (c) June 30, 2007;
and (d) September 6, 2007. We only had two directors at the time, H. Roy Shipes,
and Herbert E. Dunham, both of whom attended each meeting. We request that all
of our Directors attend our Board of Director meetings, however, we have no
formal policy regarding their attendance.
e.
Annual Shareholder Meetings
On June
30, 2007, we had our 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of our directors
at the time, Messrs. Dunham and Shipes attended the meeting. We request that all
of our Directors attend our Annual Shareholder Meetings; however, we have no
formal policy regarding their attendance.

Item
12 Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related
Stockholder Matters
The
following tables set forth the ownership, as of the date of this Form 10-K, of
our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of our outstanding common stock, our directors, and our executive
officers and directors as a group. There are not any pending or anticipated
arrangements that may cause a change in control.
The
information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting
securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other
purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a
security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of
the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security.
A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has
the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days
through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option
or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of
the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of
a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially
owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such
person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by
the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of
shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment
power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such
percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise
indicated below and under applicable common share property laws, we believe that
the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and
investment power with respect to the shares shown
