International
Silver, Inc.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
Note A - Organization and
Business
General
International
Silver, Inc., an exploration stage company, 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. The Company’s strategy consists of acquiring and exploring
high-grade silver properties throughout North and South America.
Condensed Financial
Statements
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and results
of operations and cash flows for the comparative periods at June 30, 2009 and
June 30, 2008 and for the comparative periods June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008
have been made.
Certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December
31, 2008 audited financial statements. The results of operations for
the period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
Going
Concern
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet
established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating
costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining
adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes
profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it
could be forced to cease operations.
In order
to continue as a going concern, the company will need, among other things,
additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such
resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and
significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and
(2) initiating an initial public offering.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding
paragraph and eventually secure other resources of financing and attain
profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.
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
Accounts
receivables are stated, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, based on
prior experience. At June 30, 2009 account receivables were $54,614,
net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts in the amount of
$2,760. At December 31, 2008, accounts receivables were $31,688, net
of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $4,608.
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 June 30, 2009 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
|
No
depreciation expense was recorded for the three-month period ended June 30,
2009. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, depreciation
expense was $94.
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 June 30, 2009, 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 June 30, 2009,
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 June 30, 2009, 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 June 30, 2009 and June 30,
2008.
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 35%
of the cumulative net operating loss.
Net
deferred tax assets consists of the following components:

At June
30, 2009, The company had net operating loss carry forwards of $432,183 for
federal income tax purposes and $438,471 for state income tax purposes that may
be offset against future taxable income from years 2009 through
2027. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2009
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 six-month period ended June 30,
2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008. “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 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
June 30, 2009, 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 periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, 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
periods ended June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
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 G.
Note C – Property, Plant and

Note D – Deferred Financing
Costs
On August
31, 2008, the Company contracted DME Capital, LLC for the purpose of obtaining
venture capital and/or a joint venture agreement. The Company paid
DME Capital, LLC a due diligence fee of $40,000.
At June
30, 2009, no definite financing resources have been committed.
Note E – Investment in
Securities
During
2008, the Company relinquished its holdings in the Tecoma Mining District back
to the original seller, in return for the shares in common stock that were part
of the consideration given on the original purchase of the
property As a result, the Company obtained 25,000 shares of the
common stock of Atlas Precious Metals Inc., a privately-held and related company
to International Silver, Inc. These shares were originally held by
the Company’s shareholder/officer, who transferred these shares to the seller of
the Tecoma Mining District property, in exchange for a note from the Company
(Refer to Note H) . At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these
securities were estimated at $1.00/share or $25,000.

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
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a deferred tax benefit
of $152,384, 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 June 30, 2009.
Note G – 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.
Also
during 2006, additional shares of common stock were issued in exchange for
services (1,100,000), 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, 500,000 shares of common stock for services rendered and also issued
336,186 shares, at $0.50 per share, to cancel Company indebtedness, as explained
in Note G.
During
2008, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock for services and an
additional 335,567 shares of common stock to cancel Company
indebtedness. In addition, the Company repurchased 30,000 of its own
shares in common stock upon relinquishing its holdings in the Tecoma Mining
District. These shares are being held in Treasury as of June 30,
2009.
No
activity has occurred during the first quarter ended June 30,
2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company had authorized 500,000,000 shares
of common stock and 15,011,753 shares had been issued and are
outstanding.
Note H - Related Party
Transactions
A
shareholder loan of $90,000 was made in year 2008 so that the company could
avail itself of an option to purchase mineral properties in the state of
California. The principal part of this loan was also cancelled upon
the receipt of an equivalent value in shares of common stock in the
Company. Accrued interest, on this note which is 10% per annum at
date of conversion, was $7,496.

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 not generated any revenues from any of these
activities since approximately June, 2006, when we switched our emphasis in our
business plan and commenced our mineral exploration business. 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 June
30, 2009, we had cash resources of $24,921 and receivables of $54,614, which
along with revenues generated from engineering consultation, is sufficient to
continue our exploration activities to meet our maturing
obligations. Our continued activities, long-term, are dependent on
obtaining adequate financing as explained below. Our financial condition as of
June 30, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008 is summarized as
follows:
Assets
As of
June 30, 2009, we had total assets of $145,376 compared to total assets of
$150,596 as of December 31, 2008, representing an decrease of 3% or
$5,220. Current assets comprise primarily of accounts receivable,
while other assets are comprised of deferred financing costs (due diligence fee)
of $40,000 for the purpose of procuring funds and an investment in securities
not-available-for-sale in the amount of $25,000.

Total
liabilities increased by 7% or $6,374 to $91,754 at June 30, 2009, compared to
$85,380 at December 31, 2008. This slight increase is due to additional vendor
payables at June 30, 2009 than December 31, 2008.
Shareholders’
Equity decreased by $11,319 to $57,152 as of June 30, 2009, compared to $68,471
as of December 31, 2008. This decrease represents the loss from operations of
$11,319 for the period ended June 30, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Working
capital decreased by $11,282 to $(11,378) at June 30, 2009, compared to $(96) at
December 31, 2008. The reduction in cash of $25,353 to meet maturing obligations
and increased payables of $6,704 offset by the increase in receivables of
$22,926 resulted in the decrease in working capital.
Net cash
flows from operating activities decreased by 147% or $15,068 to ($25,353) for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to ($10,285) for the comparative
six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is primarily due to the
net increase in receivables of $55,841, a net decrease in payable of $18,452,
issuance of stock for services of $20,000, net of an increase in general &
administrative expenses of $48,948 and accrued expenses of $27,497 for the
comparable period ended June 30, 2008. Although there was a reduction
in general and administrative expenses, collections from receivables were lower
than the comparable six month period. In addition the payment of
invoices resulted in the overall $15,068 reduction in net cash flows from
operating activities, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2008.
No
investment or financing activities occurred during the six months ended June 30,
2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we borrowed $90,000
from a related party (shareholder/officer) so that the Company could place an
option towards the purchase of mining property, resulting in no cash
flow.
Our
business plan does not reflect, nor do we anticipate, any revenues during our
exploration phase, aside from ongoing engineering services rendered to an
affiliate and others. We do not anticipate any other type of revenue
until we confirm previously demonstrated mineralization, obtain operating
permits, and construct mining and processing facilities at either our US or
Mexican properties or both.
Our
auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our audited financial statements
for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as we have an accumulated deficit of
$723,327. 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 the
continuation of providing engineering services and raising funds through an
equity funding. We anticipate total spending requirements of approximately
$9,289,500 pending adequate financing over the next twelve months, in the
following areas:
|
·
|
$5,000,000 for property
acquisitions;
|
|
·
|
$3,089,500 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
|
|
·
|
$500,000 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 $9,289,500 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 $10.0
million;
|
|
·
|
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 a loss $10,793 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss
of $52,475 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in losses is due to
lower General and Administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30,
2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 in the areas of legal
expense and salaries
An
analysis of the major components of our results of operations is, as
follows:
Revenues.
During the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, we had revenues of $35,716 and
$28,050, respectively. Revenues increased by 27% or $7,667, attributable to
increased engineering services.
No
revenue is being generated from mineral extraction activities, as we are still
in the exploration stage.
Operating Loss.
Operating losses decreased by 78% or $39,415 to ($10,967) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, from ($50,382) for the quarter ended June 30,
2008. This decrease is primarily due to reduced exploration and legal
costs and increased revenues, as shown above.
Exploration Expenses
. Exploration costs decreased by $13,823 to $1,200 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009, from $12,623 for the comparable 2008 period. This decrease
is mostly due to decreased exploration activity.
Depreciation and Depletion
Expenses
. There was no depreciation expense for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009, as the only depreciable asset was disposed. Depreciation for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $93.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $29
compared to $2,256 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
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 and incurred the following
costs:
1) Hired
a geotechnical consultant to assist launching an exploration
program;
|
|
|
|
|
2) Commenced
the development of an exploration plan;
|
|
|
|
|
3) Actively
sought mineral interests containing precious metals; and
|
|
|
|
|
4) Acquired
the following minerals interests:
|
|

Since the
commencement of exploration activities, June 16, 2006 through June 30, 2009, we
have incurred a total of $549,159 in expenditures, including general &
administrative expenses comprised of salaries, rent, consulting fees, interest
and travel expenditures. These expenditures account for approximately 76% of the
accumulated deficit of $723,327 reflected in the Shareholders’ Equity section.
Our prior activities as an engineering company accounts for the other portion of
the deficit.
Uncertainties and
Trends
Our operations,
potential funding, and potential 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)
inflation or deflation; (e) speculation; and (f) fluctuating prices in
worldwide and local commodities for petroleum-related products, chemicals,
and solvents,
|
|
·
|
Global and regional supply and
demand of silver, gold, 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 retained or contingent interest
in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement
that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for
such assets,
|
|
·
|
any obligation, including a
contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a
derivative instrument, or
|
|
·
|
any obligation, including a
contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an
unconsolidated entity that is held by us and material to us where such
entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support
to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services
with us.
|
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that 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.
Changes in Accounting
Policies
The
significant accounting policies outlined within our Consolidated Financial
Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 have been applied consistently
with the year ended December 31, 2008.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume
and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased
and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS
157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value
when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not
orderly. Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim
and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair
value. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP
FAS 157-4 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operation.
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of
a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS
157-3”), which clarifies application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not
active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior
periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The
adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures
by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and
Interests in Variable Interest Entities.” This disclosure-only FSP
improves the transparency of transfers of financial assets and an enterprise’s
involvement with variable interest entities, including qualifying
special-purpose entities. This FSP is effective for the first
reporting period (interim or annual) ending after December 15, 2008, with
earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted this FSP
effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of the FSP had no impact
on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP
FAS 132(R)-1 requires additional fair value disclosures about employers’ pension
and postretirement benefit plan assets consistent with guidance contained in
SFAS 157. Specifically, employers will be required to disclose
information about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value
of each major category of plan assets and information about the inputs and
valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of plan assets.
This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1
will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operation.
In
September 2008, the FASB issued exposure drafts that eliminate qualifying
special purpose entities from the guidance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities,” and FASB Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003),
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities − an
interpretation of ARB No. 51,” as well as other
modifications. While the proposed revised pronouncements have not
been finalized and the proposals are subject to further public comment, the
Company anticipates the changes will not have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements. The changes would be effective March
1, 2010, on a prospective basis.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,
(“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting,
and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under
the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required
to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have
material effect on our consolidated financial position
and results of
operations if adopted.
In
May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163,
“Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60
applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition
and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also
requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the
Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this
time.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162,
“The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No.
162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or
document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two
categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will
become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU
Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on
the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at
this time.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide
enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding
the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in
developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular,
the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use
the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient
information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107
was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about
employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or
other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to
companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a
company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31,
2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee
exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly,
the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the
simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the
simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will
assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this
will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. This
statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity
in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued,
limited guidance existed for reporting non-controlling interests. As a result,
considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were
reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or
in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves
comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or
after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar
year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement
is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company
adopted this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this
will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations’. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141,
Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in
Statement 141. This Statement establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase;
and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for
which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not
apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as
that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company adopted this statement
beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is
available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective;
however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading
securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report
net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as
of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that
choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the
potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its
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 value measurements. This statement
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting
pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.
Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements.
However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change
current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the
reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year,
including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.
The Company adopted this statement March 1, 2008, and it is not believed that
this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
None
ITEM 4T. - CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") that is
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal
executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
In
accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our management, under the
supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered
by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were ineffective, as of the end of the first quarter ending June 30,
2009, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules and forms.
Changes
in internal controls
Our
management, with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our
internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the financial
quarter ending June 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change
occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting during the financial
quarter ending June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.

ITEM 1A - RISK
FACTORS
Risk
Factors
In
addition to the other information provided in this Form 10-Q, 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
June 30, 2009, we have an accumulated deficit of $723,327. Our auditor has
issued a going concern opinion that there is substantial doubt whether we can
continue as an ongoing business.
If we fail to obtain
approximately $10 million of financing, we will be unable to pursue our planned
business operations and 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.
