Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. Some discussions in this report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this report. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “project” and similar expressions or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.
In some cases, you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “plans”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. All references to “CA $” refer to Canadian Dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "Stallion" mean The Stallion Group, unless otherwise indicated.
Stallion is an exploration stage company. There is no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on the claim that we have under option. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the claim is determined.
Glossary of Exploration Terms
The following terms, when used in this report, have the respective meanings specified below:
Development | Preparation of a mineral deposit for commercial production, including installation of plant and machinery and the construction of all related facilities. The development of a mineral depositcan onlybe made after a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, has been appropriately evaluated as economically and legally feasible. | |
Diamond drill | A type of rotary drill in which the cutting is done by abrasion rather than percussion. The cutting bit is set with diamonds and is attached to the end of long hollow rods through which water is pumped to the cutting face. The | |
4
drill cuts a core of rock, which is recovered in long cylindrical sections an inch or more in diameter. | ||
Exploration | The prospecting, trenching, mapping, sampling, geochemistry, geophysics, diamond drilling and other work involved in searching for mineral bodies. | |
Geochemistry | Broadly defined as all parts of geology that involve chemical changes or narrowly defined as the distribution of the elements in the earth’s crust; the distribution and migration of the individual elements in the various parts of the earth. | |
Geology | The science that deals with the history of the earth and its life especially as recorded in the rocks; a chronological account of the events in the earth’s history. | |
Geophysics | The science of the earth with respect to its structure, components and development. | |
Mineral | A naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form and physical properties. | |
Mineral Reserve | A mineral reserve is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. | |
Mineralization | Rock containing an undetermined amount of minerals or metals. | |
Oxide | Mineralized rock in which some of the original minerals, usually sulphide, have been oxidized. Oxidation tends to make the mineral more porous and permits a more complete permeation of cyanide solutions so that minute particles of gold in the interior of the minerals will be more readily dissolved. | |
Foreign Currency and Exchange Rates
Dollar costs of Stallion’s property acquisition and planned exploration costs are in Canadian Dollars. For purposes of consistency and to express United States Dollars throughout this report, Canadian Dollars have been converted into United States currency at the rate of US $1.00 being approximately equal to CA $1.20 or CA $1.00 being approximately equal to US $0.83 which is the approximate average exchange rate during recent months and which is consistent with the incorporated financial statements.
THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CORPORATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDING AUGUST 31, 2005 SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CORPORATION’S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-QSB.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 09, 2004 as The Stallion Group and established a fiscal year end of May 31. Our statutory registered agent's office is located at 251
5
Jeanell Drive, No. 3, Carson City, Nevada 89703 and our business office is located at 5728 -125A Street, Surrey, British Columbia V3X 3G8. Our telephone number is (604) 597-0028. There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or purchases or sales of any significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business since the date of incorporation. We are a start-up, exploration stage company engaged in the search for gold and related minerals. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in our claim or can be shown to exist until sufficient and appropriate exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation of such work concludes economic and legal feasibility.
On May 31, 2004, we optioned a mineral property containing four mining claims in British Columbia, Canada by entering into an Option To Purchase And Royalty Agreement with Mayan Minerals Ltd. on behalf of Angel Jade Mines Ltd., the beneficial owner of the claims, each arms-length British Columbia corporations, to acquire the claims by making certain expenditures and carrying out certain exploration work on the claims. We can acquire a 100% interest in the claim subject to the expenditure of a total of $116,000 through a three-phase exploration program. In addition, the vendors retain a 3% net smelter royalty. After January 1, 2007 payments of $40,000 per year are to be made as advance royalty to Angel Jade so long as Stallion retains an interest in the claim.
Under the terms of the agreement, Mayan granted to Stallion the sole and exclusive right to acquire 100 percent of the right, title and interest of Angel Jade in the Bell Claims, subject to Mayan receiving annual payments and a royalty, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, as follows:
1. | Stallion must incur exploration expenditures on the claims of a minimum of $36,000, by August 31, 2005 (under completion and awaiting engineering report); | |
2. | Stallion must incur exploration expenditures on the claims of a further $80,000, for an aggregate minimum exploration expense of $116,000, by August 31, 2006; and | |
3. | Upon exercise of the option, Stallion is required to pay to Mayan, commencing January 1, 2007, the sum of $40,000 per annum, as prepayment of the net smelter royalty. |
The claims are located approximately 25 miles south west of Telkwa, B.C., at 54º 37' north latitude and 127º 40' west longitude, one-half mile north of Milk Creek, at an approximate median elevation of six thousand feet in north central British Columbia. The property consists of four mineral claims which in total measure 1,000 metres (3,240 feet) by 1,000 metres (3,240 feet) and covers an area of approximately 160 acres or 64 hectares.
To date we have completed the on-site work of phase I of the planned two-phase exploration program (we will not have the report until early 2006) and have spent approximately $27,000; we have not spent any money on research and development activities. Information about the claims was presented to Mr. Williams for review without any contractual obligations.
The claims are unencumbered and there are no competitive conditions which affect the claims. Further, there is no insurance covering the claims. We believe that no insurance is necessary since the claims are unimproved and contain no buildings or improvements.
6
The names, tenure numbers, date of recording and expiration date of the claims are as follows:
Claim Name | Tenure Number | Recording Date | Expiry Date |
Bell 1 | 362113 | April 24, 1998 | April 24, 2007 |
Bell 2 | 362114 | April 24, 1998 | April 24, 2007 |
Bell 3 | 362115 | April 24, 1998 | April 24, 2007 |
Bell 4 | 362116 | April 24, 1998 | April 24, 2007 |
To keep the claims in good standing, such that they do not expire on the date indicated in the preceding, we must commence phase II of the exploration program on or before April 24, 2007 or pay $1,000 to prevent the claims from reverting to the Crown.
Mr. R.T. Heard, P. Eng., authored the “Geological Report On The Bell 1-4 Mineral Claims”, dated May 31, 2004, in which he recommended a two-phase exploration program to properly evaluate the potential of the claims. Mr. Heard is a registered Professional Engineer in good standing in the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. He is a graduate of Haileybury School of Mines, (1958) and of the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology, Butte, Montana. He holds a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering, (1971) and has practiced his profession as an exploration geologist for more than 40 years and as a Professional Engineer for 30 years.
There are no parks or developments that would interfere with exploration for or exploitation of any mineral deposits that might be located on the claim. There are no disputes as to title or liens registered on the claim.
The claims were originally staked in 1986 for Angel Jade by L. B. Warren. Angel Jade holds the mining rights to the claims which thereby gives them or their designated agent, the rights to mine and recover all of the minerals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease continued vertically downward. In the event Angel Jade were to grant another deed which is subsequently registered prior to our deed, the third party would obtain good title and we would have nothing.
Mayan has granted an option to Stallion to allow us to explore, mine and recover any minerals on the claims. As with the preceding, if Mayan were to grant an option to another party, that party would be able to enter the claims, carry out certain work commitments and earn right and title to the claims; we would have little recourse as we would be harmed, would not own any claims and would have to cease operations. However, in either event, Mayan would be liable to us for monetary damages for breach of the option agreement. The extent of that liability would be for our out of pocket costs for expenditures on the claims, if any, in addition to any lost opportunity costs if the claims proved to be of value in the future. The option agreement does not specifically reference these risks or the recourse provided. Although we would have recourse against Mayan in the situations described, there is a question as to whether that recourse would have specific value.
Under British Columbia law, if the ownership of the claim were to be passed to us and the deed of ownership were to be recorded in our name, we would have to pay a minimum of $1,000 and file other documents since we are a foreign company in Canada. We would also be required to form an British Columbia company which would necessitate a board of directors, a majority of which would have to be British Columbia residents, and obtain audited financial statements for that company. We have decided that if gold mineralization is discovered on the claim and it appears
7
that it might be economical to remove the gold mineralization, we will record the deed of ownership, pay the additional tax and file as a foreign company or establish a corporate subsidiary in British Columbia. The decision to record or not is ours solely.
Geology
A mapping program managed by the B.C. Department of Mines indicates that the ages of the rock formations are such that at the junctions of the various formations there are faults which are conducive to and likely provided the plumbing which allowed for the placement of the mineral bearing vein structures generally associated with gold and silver values found in the area.
The main faulted area, which virtually cuts the project area in half, has been traced north – south for 50 miles. This fault was probably the heat source for the mineralizing fluids. The gold and silver values generally found in the area often occur in association with a sulphide mix of galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite – all characteristics of viable gold bearing structures.
History
Over the years various samples that have been assayed have been taken from the area of the claims. The majority of the samples, although published by the British Columbia Department of Mines for information and review purposes are not available for the purposes of this report.
During examinations of the claims in 1993, 1997 and 2003, Mr. Heard, the author of the report on the claims, sampled the pit area found on the claims and completed approximately 600 feet of diamond drilling. As well, two trenches were dug along strike from the pit area, chip sampled and analyzed using a sophisticated 30 element induced coupled plasma (ICP) analysis procedure. As a result of this work and having completed a thorough historical review of the claims, Mr. Heard was able to delineate a two-phase work program for our exploration and the viability testing of the claims.
The preceding exploration programs carried out by Mr. Heard are, on their own, not indicative of a gold discovery. The examinations provided historical reference points which, in total, indicate that there are valid reasons to further explore the claims. Although a limited program, the review of the property and its history indicate that the right indicators exist for the potential of a commercially viable mining operation. The preceding results and analysis indicate that a further program of exploration to follow the vein structures to depth and to attempt to determine possible tonnage of mineral values on the claims is warranted.
Work on the Property by Stallion
The 2005 phase I work program on the Bell Mineral Claims consisting of grid construction and geophysical surveys plus a limited amount of diamond drilling was commenced later than projected as a result of weather and other factors on September 15 and completed on September 23, 2005.
We were successful in completing all the planned work consisting of a grid run over the entire property, both magnetometer and deep penetration electromagnetic surveys (TEM) and 500 feet of diamond drilling. We were able to complete the program in fewer days than anticipated due to favourable weather but ran less diamond drilling than originally projected for varying reasons.
8
Our Proposed Exploration Program – Plan of Operation
We have now completed the on-site work of the initial exploration of the Bell 1-4 mineral claims to determine if there are commercially exploitable deposits of gold and silver and await the report on the work. We will assess the results of this program upon receipt of Mr. Heard’s report. We do not claim to have any ores or reserves whatsoever at this time on our optioned claims.
Phase I of the recommended geological exploration program cost approximately $27,000 which was less than the anticipated cost of $36,000 due to speedier work, good weather and a reduced diamond drill program. We had $65,504 in cash reserves as of August 31, 2005. Accordingly, we will not be able to proceed with the second phase of the exploration program without additional financing.
Our business plan is to proceed with initial exploration of the claims to determine if there are commercially exploitable deposits of gold. We planned a two-phase exploration program to properly evaluate the potential of the claims and must conduct exploration to determine what minerals, if any, exist on our claims and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
Initially, we will re-established the 2003 grid and reviewed maps of the results of past geological and geochemical programs; then we completed an electromagnetic survey of the claims and a small diamond drilling program.
The laying out of a grid and line cutting involved the physical cutting of the underbrush and overlay to establish an actual grid on the ground whereby items can be related one to another more easily and with greater accuracy. When we map, we essentially generate a drawing of the physical features of the land as well as a depiction of what may have been found in relation to the boundaries of the property. So we actually drew a scale map of the area and made notes on it as to the location where anything was found that was of interest.
Geophysical surveying involves the measurement of various physical properties of the rocks at the site as well as interpreting that information in terms of the structure and nature of the rock. The geologist took different surface and airborne measurements of the various physical properties of the rocks and will interpret the results in terms of what we are seeking. These methods included magnetic, electrical and seismic measurements. Our engineers will then interpret all the data obtained, plot it on the map we have generated and provide their best estimate of the chances of finding gold and what additional efforts we must undertake in a follow-up phase.
Magnetometer and VLF-EM, very low frequency electromagnetic surveys, were used as an aid to mapping and structural interpretation and may assist in locating mineralization and serve to assist in the delineation of the various physical properties of the rock which can be used as pointers towards whether gold mineralization may be present or not. Anomalies were evaluated closely and some were diamond drilled to help in determining their economic potential.
We ran approximately 500 feet of diamond drilling in the first phase which is an essential component of exploration and aids in the delineation and definition of any deposits. The geophysical work gives a general understanding of the location and extent of mineralization at depths that are unreachable by surface excavations and provides a target for more extensive trenching and core drilling.
9
Phase 1 began by re-establishing a 2003 base line grid with 25-meter stations and cross lines run every 50 meters for 100 meters each side of the baseline. We then conducted a ground level electromagnetic survey over the grid with readings taken every 25 meters along the lines as well as an airborne EM survey followed by approximately 800 feet of diamond drilling over selected target areas based on the results of previous exploration which will be coordinated with the results of the EM surveys. We also took further rock and geochemical samples of those areas determined by the geological and EM surveys. This entailed taking till, rock and drill core samples from the claims to a laboratory where a determination of the elemental make up of the sample and the exact concentrations of gold, silver, lead and other indicator minerals will be made. We will then compare the relative concentrations of gold, silver, lead and other indicator minerals in samples so the results from different samples can be compared in a more precise manner and plotted on a map to evaluate their significance. Trenching, drilling and other work done in previously recorded exploration programs was be the guide for the locations of the diamond drilling.
We also employed some minor trenching of the areas. Trenches are generally 100 feet in length and 10 to 20 feet wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the surface of the vein structure types generally encountered in the area. They also allow easier restoration of the land to its pre-exploration condition when we conclude our operations. Once excavation of a trench is completed, samples are taken and analyzed for economically valuable and other indicator minerals that are known to have occurred in the area. Trench and rock samples as well as diamond drilled samples will be tested for traces of gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc, iron and other minerals; however, our primary focus is the search for gold and silver.
These correlation of the results of these surveys and drilling may require up to an additional four months for analysis, evaluation of the results of the work and the preparation of a report on the work accomplished
Phase II will not be carried out until mid 2006 and will be contingent upon favourable results from phase I and any specific recommendations of Mr. Heard. It will be directed towards an expansion of the diamond drilling. The second phase may require up to four weeks work and will cost approximately $80,000 comprised of wages, fees and camp operations, diamond drilling, assays and related. The cost estimate is also based on the report and is a reflection of local costs for the specified type of work. A further three months may be required for analysis and the preparation of a report and evaluation on the work accomplished.
Although it may appear that phase II merely continues phase I, such is not entirely the case. The work is phased in such a manner as to allow decision points to ensure that future work has a value and will provide better or additional information as to the viability of the claims. By utilizing a multi-phase work program, at the end of each phase a decision can be made as to whether the phase has provided the necessary information to increase the viability of the project. If the information obtained as a result of any phase indicates that there is no increased probability of finding an economically viable deposit at the end of the project, a determination would be made that the work should cease at that point. This is a standard procedure in the industry prior to the commitment of additional funding to move a project forward to the next phase of exploration and/or development.

Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labour exploration work on our claims and an engineer or geologist to manage the exploration program. Our only employee will be Gerald W. Williams, our senior officer and director.
At present, we have no employees, other than Mr. Williams, our senior officer and sole director. Mr. Williams does not have an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any employee.
We intend to hire geologists, engineers and excavation subcontractors on an as needed basis. We have not entered into negotiations or contracts with any of them although it is our intention to retain Mr. Heard as senior geological consultant. We do not intend to initiate negotiations or hire anyone until we receive proceeds from our offering.
Offices
Our offices are located at 5728 - 125A Street, Surrey, B.C. Canada V3X 3G8. Currently, these facilities are provided to us by Gerald W. Williams, our director and President, without charge, but such arrangement may be cancelled at anytime without notice. As our business activities continue, we anticipate that we will be required to pay a pro rata share of the rent incurred for the facilities that we occupy. Specific direct expenses incurred such as telephone and secretarial services are charged back to Stallion at cost on a quarterly basis.
Risks
At present we do not know whether or not the claims contain commercially exploitable reserves of gold or any other valuable mineral. Additionally, the proposed expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the claim may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other unanticipated conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
With completion of our SB-2 offering in May, 2005 we have sufficient financial resources to complete the first phase of our proposed exploration plan. However, in order to complete future phases of our proposed exploration program we will need to raise additional funding. Even if the first phase of our exploration program is deemed to be successful there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any additional capital in order to finance the second or third phases. Should we be unable to raise additional funding to complete the second and third phases of our exploration plan, we would have to cease operations.
Finally, even if our exploration program is successful we may not be able to obtain commercial production. If our exploration program is successful and commercial quantities of ore are discovered we will require a significant amount of additional funds to place the claim into commercial production. Should we be unable to raise additional funds to put the claim into production we would be unable to see the claim evolve into an operating mine and would have to cease operations.

Results of Operations
Stallion was incorporated on January 09, 2004; comparative periods for the three months ended August 31, 2005, August 31, 2004 and January 09, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2005 are presented in the following discussion.
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our optioned acquisition and for corporate expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception on January 09, 2004 to August 31, 2005 was $106,300 as a result of proceeds received from sales of our common stock.
The Corporation did not generate any revenues from operations for the quarter ended August 31, 2005. To date, we have not generated any revenues from our mineral exploration business.
REVENUES
REVENUE – Gross revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2005 was $0 ($0 for the quarter ended August 31, 2004 and $0 for the period from inception to August 31, 2005).
COMMON STOCK – Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our optioned acquisition and for corporate expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities during the quarter ended August 31, 2005 was $0 as compared to $8,350 for the quarter ended August 31, 2004 and $45,000 received for the period from inception on January 09, 2004 through to and including August 31, 2005. No shares were issued in the most recent quarter and no options or warrants were issued to issue shares at a later date.
EXPENSES
SUMMARY – Total expenses increased to $9,221 in the quarter ended August 31, 2005 from $4,303 in the previous quarter ended August 31, 2004 as the result of the commencement of Cavalier’s business plan which was purely conceptual at this period last year; a total of $34,433 in expenses has been incurred since inception on January 09, 2004 through August 31, 2005. The costs can be subdivided into the following categories.
CONTRIBUTED EXPENSES: $350 in contributed expenses (for contributed rent and administrative costs) were incurred for the quarter ended August 31, 2005 as compared to $350 for the three months ended August 31, 2004 while a total of $2,300 was incurred in the period from inception on January 09, 2004 to August 31, 2005. Contributed costs are expected to run reasonably consistent from period to period in the future. All contributed expenses are reported as contributed costs with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
PROFESSIONAL FEES: Stallion incurred $3,100 in professional fees for the quarter ended on August 31, 2005 as compared to $500 for the same period in 2004. From inception to August 31, 2005, we have incurred a total of $10,700 in professional fees mainly spent on legal and accounting matters.
COMPENSATION: No compensation costs were incurred for the quarter ended August 31, 2005 and no direct compensation costs have been incurred since inception.
12
OFFICE EXPENSES: $3,529 in office costs were incurred in the most recent quarter which ended on August 31, 2005. By comparison, $1,261 was incurred for the similar period in the previous fiscal year. Costs were higher for the current year as we entered the first stage of our exploration program whereas in the previous year the Cavalier had not commenced operations. For the period January 09, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2005 a total of $12,257 has been spent on office related expenses.
TRAVEL EXPENSES: $521 in travel costs were incurred in the most recent quarter which ended on August 31, 2005. By comparison, $1,151 was incurred for the similar period in the previous fiscal year. For the period January 09, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2005 a total of $5,233 has been spent on travel expenses.
BUSINESS PROMOTION EXPENSES: $1,472 in office costs were incurred in the most recent quarter which ended on August 31, 2005. By comparison, $0 was incurred for the similar period in the previous fiscal year. For the period January 09, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2005 a total of $1,472 has been spent on office related expenses.
INCORPORATION OR ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: $0 in incorporation costs were incurred in the most recent quarter which ended on August 31, 2005. By comparison, $0 was incurred for the similar period in the previous fiscal year. For the period January 09, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2005 a total of $1,160 has been spent on incorporation costs related to establishing our business.
OTHER GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS: $249 in other costs were incurred in the current quarter under review while $1,041 was incurred for the quarter ended August 31, 2004. For the period January 09, 2004 (inception) through August 31, 2005, Stallion has spent a total of $3,159 on other/miscellaneous expenses.
NET CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES: For the three month period ended on August 31, 2005, $4,843 in net cash was used as compared to $15,710 having been used in the period ended August 31, 2004. The decrease in the current period under discussion is largely due to the costs associated with the filing of the Corporation’s Form SB-2 registration statement last year and the relatively high legal, accounting and professional costs of the filing period. A total of $36,344 in net cash has been used for the period from Inception on January 09, 2004 to August 31, 2005.
INCOME TAX PROVISION: As a result of operating losses, there has been no provision for the payment of income taxes to date in 2004 or from the date of inception.
During the current quarter under review, Stallion did not sell any shares of its common stock. As of the date of this report Stallion has 9,306,500 common shares issued and outstanding.
Stallion continues to carefully control its expenses and overall costs as it moves forward with the development of its business plan. Stallion does not have any employees and engages personnel through outside consulting contracts or agreements or other such arrangements, including for legal, accounting and technical consultants.

Plan of Operation
Stallion believes we can satisfy our cash requirements for the current fiscal year end of May 31, 2006, only by raising additional capital through private placements, equity financing, loans or the like. As of August 31, 2005, we had $69,815 in unallocated working capital.
For the balance of the current fiscal year (to May 31, 2006) we will concentrate our efforts on a review of the results of the first phase of work on the Bell mineral claims and determining whether to proceed to phase II. Following industry trends and demands, we are also considering the acquisition of other properties of merit. In either situation, a new public offering might be needed and completed during a subsequent period. We will also seek approval from the NASD to allow our stock to be quoted on the NASD OTC-BB and will review other options for further financing of our business operations.
It is our current intention to proceed to phase II of our exploration program in the summer of 2006 at an estimated cost of $80,000, based on the recommendations of Mr. Heard’s report, which costs are a reflection of local costs for the type of work program planned. We will proceed to phase II only if we are also successful in being able to secure the capital funding required to complete phase II and if phase I has proven to be successful. Similarly, if phase II is not successful, we will terminate the option on the claim and cease operations of the business.
If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our secondary exploration program, we will try to raise the funds from a second public offering, a private placement, loans or the establishment of a joint venture whereby a third party would pay the costs associated with phase II and we would retain a carried interest. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional funds and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise money in the future. If we need additional money and can't raise it, we will have to suspend operations.
We do not expect any changes or more hiring of employees since contracts are given on an as needed basis to consultants and sub-contractor specialists in specific fields of expertise for the exploration works.
On August 19, 2004 Stallion filed a Form SB-2 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stallion became a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on February 18, 2005 when the SB-2 became effective and is now subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
We are currently seeking permission from NASD to allow Stallion to have its common stock quoted on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. We believe that increasing the liquidity of our stock would allow Stallion to be in a better position in which to seek public and private funding for its projects.
Presently, our revenues are not sufficient to meet operating and capital expenses. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through fiscal 2005 –2006. Management projects that we may require a total of $100,000 to $200,000 to fund our ongoing operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months, broken down as follows:
14
Operating expenses | $35,000 |
Phase II exploration program | 80,000 |
Working Capital | 85,000 |
Total | $200,000 |
As at August 31, 2005, we had a working capital surplus of $69,815. We do not anticipate that we will be able to satisfy any of these funding requirements internally until we significantly increase our revenues.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2005, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of end of the last quarter on August 31, 2005, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our optioned acquisition and for corporate expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception on January 09, 2004 to August 31, 2005 was $45,000 as a result of proceeds received from sales of our common stock. We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) offering in February, 2004 for cash consideration of $5,000. We issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock through a Regulation S offering in May and June, 2004 for cash consideration of $40,000. Finally, During the last quarter of the last fiscal year we raised $69,300 through the sale of 306,5000 shares under our Regulation SB-2 prospectus offering.
As of August 31, 2005, our total assets which consist entirely of cash and prepaid expenses amounted to $73,815 and our total liabilities were $4,000. Working capital stood at $69,815.
For the quarter ended August 31, 2005, the net loss was $9,221 ($0.0001 per share). The loss per share was based on a weighted average of 9,306,500 common shares outstanding. For the same period ended August 31, 2004, the corresponding number was a loss of $4,303 ($0.0005) based on 8,466,667 shares outstanding. For the period from inception on January 09, 2004 to August
15
31, 2005, the loss was $34,433 and the loss per share was $0.0044 per share for the entire period based on a weighted average of 7,809,096 common shares outstanding.
Inflation / Currency Fluctuations
Inflation has not been a factor during the recent quarter ended August 31, 2005. Inflation is moderately higher than it was during 2004 but the actual rate of inflation is not material and is not considered a factor in our contemplated capital expenditure program.
