NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
MAY 18, 2006 |
|
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
| | |
| Arizona Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada, United States (“US”) on September 13, 2005. The Company is an 80% owned subsidiary of Wildcat Silver Corporation (“Wildcat”), formerly ComCorp Ventures Inc., a publicly traded Corporation incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. The Company was formed to acquire and hold the Hardshell mineral property (“Hardshell Property”) in Arizona, US. |
| | |
| The Company is engaged in mineral exploration and is considered to be an exploration stage enterprise as it has yet to generate significant revenue from operations. The Company will explore its mineral resource property and has not yet determined whether its mineral resource property interest contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts recorded for the mineral property are dependent upon the ability of the Company to fund exploration programs, future sale or disposition and/or ultimately the discovery of economically recoverable reserves. |
| | |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at May 18, 2006 the Company has a working capital deficit of $9,004,885 (comprised of amounts due to related parties and the Note Payable) and net earnings of $131,715. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations and maintain its current operations is contingent upon successful completion of additional financing arrangements by Wildcat and ultimately upon the Company generating profitable operations. |
| | |
| The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the costs of exploring and developing its resource properties, operating costs, competitive environment and global market conditions. The Company's anticipated operating losses and increasing working capital requirements will require that it obtain additional capital to continue operations. |
| | |
| The Company will depend on outside capital, raised by Wildcat and placed with the Company by way of debt or equity. There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continuing exploration and development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Obtaining loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company's liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success may be adversely affected giving rise to doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
| | |
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | |
| a) | Generally Accepted Accounting Principles |
| | |
| | These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
| | |
| b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
| | |
| | The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. |
| | |
| c) | Mineral Properties |
| | |
| | The Company is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and records its investment in mineral properties at the lower of cost or estimated recoverable value. Where specific exploration programs are planned and budgeted by management, mineral exploration costs are capitalized and carried at cost until the properties are placed into commercial production, sold, abandoned or determined by management to be impaired in value. Costs incurred for acquisition, including where applicable, lease and option payments made on properties that are held under lease and option agreements, are capitalized until such time as the related interest is placed into production, sold, abandoned, or management has determined that impairment in value has occurred. |
| | |
| | Management evaluates each mineral property on a reporting period basis or as events and circumstances warrant and makes a determination based on exploration activity and results, estimated future cash flows and availability of funding as to whether capitalized costs are impaired. Mineral property interests, where future cash flows are not reasonably determinable, are evaluated for impairment based on management’s intentions and determination of the extent to which future exploration programs are warranted and likely to be funded. |
| | |
| | Capitalized costs as reported on the balance sheet represent costs incurred to date or estimated recoverable value if lower than cost. Recovery of carrying value is dependent upon future commercial success or proceeds from disposition of the mineral interests. |
| | |
| | Upon the establishment of commercial production, carrying values of deferred acquisition and exploration costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the resource on the units of production method. |
| | |
| | The Company does not have any producing mineral properties and all of its efforts to date have been exploratory in nature. |
| | |
| d) | Asset Retirement Obligations |
| | |
| | The Company reviews and recognizes legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, including rights to explore or exploit natural resources. When such obligations are identified and measurable, the estimated fair values of the obligations are recognized on a systematic basis over the remaining period up to the date the obligations are expected to be settled. Mineral property related retirement obligations are capitalized as part of deferred exploration and development costs and are accounted for in the same manner as all other capitalized costs. |

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
| | | |
| e) | Use of Estimates and assumptions |
| | | |
| | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of impairment of its mineral property and the fair value estimate for the Note Payable, primarily the assumption regarding the discount rate. Financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates. |
| | | |
| f) | Future Income Taxes |
| | | |
| | The Company follows the liability method of tax allocation. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In the case of unused tax losses, income tax reductions, and certain items that have a tax basis but cannot be identified with an asset or liability on the balance sheet, the recognition of future income tax assets is determined by reference to the likely realization of future income tax reductions. |
| | | |
| g) | Foreign currencies |
| | | |
| | The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the time the transaction occurred. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into equivalent Canadian dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date with any resulting gain or loss being recognized in the statement of loss and deficit. The effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the dates of transactions and of settlements is reflected in the statement of loss and deficit. |
| | | |
| | The financial statements of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method for integrated operations, as follows: |
| | | |
| | | monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; |
| | | non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, unless the item is carried at fair market value, in which case the item will be translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; |
| | | revenue and expense items at approximate exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions occurred; |

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
| | |
| | amortization of assets translated at historical exchange rates should be translated at the same exchange rates as the assets to which they relate; |
| | translation gains and losses on monetary items or non-monetary items carried at market are included in the current year statement of loss and deficit. |
h) | Financial Instruments |
| |
| The Company’s financial instruments consist of amounts due to related parties. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are estimated by management to approximate their carrying values except for the Note Payable which is discounted. |
| |
i) | Risk Management |
| |
| The Company is engaged primarily in resource exploration and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company is at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity prices. Management is not aware of and does not anticipate any significant environmental remediation costs or liabilities in respect of its current operations. |
| |
| The Company is not exposed to significant credit or interest rate risks. |
| |
| The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company has a mineral property in Arizona, US where the Company will be exposed to foreign exchange risks. |
3. | MINERAL PROPERTY |
| | |
| On October 31, 2005 the Company entered into a purchase agreement (“Agreement”) with Asarco LLC (“Asarco”) for 100% of the Hardshell Property. The agreement required a purchase price of US$8,500,000 payable as follows: |
| | |
| i) | US$250,000 on execution of the Agreement, November 2, 2005 |
| ii) | US$250,000 on March 6, 2006 |
| iii) | US$3,500,000 on closing of the transaction, March 14, 2006 |
| iv) | Deliver a promissory note (“Note Payable”) in the amount of US$4,500,000 maturing on the first anniversary of the closing date, secured by a deed of trust secured by the Hardshell Property. |
| | |
| The property value is comprised of the payments required under i) and ii) above and for the discounted value of the Note Payable (Note 5) as well as the costs incurred to complete the acquisition (US$110,113). These amounts are translated into Canadian dollars at an average exchange rate of 1.155 C/US. |
