Trilliant Exploration Corporation
Three Months and Nine months Ended September 30, 2011
NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Trilliant Exploration Corporation, (the “Company”) was incorporated as Project Development Pacific, Inc. on December 29, 2003, under the laws of the State of Nevada. On November 26, 2007, the Company changed its name to Trilliant Exploration Corporation, with a purpose to acquire and develop mineral properties.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported a net loss from operations of $ 1,976,960 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, accumulated deficit of $18,314,474 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $ 2,916,096 as of September 30, 2011.
The Company is currently seeking to acquire mining projects and as of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are devoting substantially all of our efforts to the execution of our business operations and re-establish the Company as an exploratory stage enterprise. The Company will be dependent on funds raised to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that may change in the near future include value of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets acquired, and value of investments.
Net Income or (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic and diluted loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period computed under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260-10”). All primary dilutive common shares have been excluded since the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Derivative financial instruments
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company’s convertible debt and Preferred Stock has reset provisions to the exercise price if the Company issues equity or a right to receive equity, at a price less than the exercise prices.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on our financial statements
NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Reverse Stock Split
On January 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors , pursuant to unanimous written consent resolutions , authorized and approved a reverse stock split of one for every three hundred (1:300) of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock was effectuated on April 8, 2011. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the above change in the ordinary share structure.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, par value of $ 0.001 per share.
On June 30, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada, whereby 10,200,000 shares of the 200,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred stock were designated as Series I Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value and having the powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series I Preferred Stock.
Holders of the Series I Preferred shares do not receive interest or dividends separately from common stock shareholders. Preferred Stock holder shall participate in dividends when and if declared in the same proportion as common stock shareholders. Preferred stock is convertible into common shares at the lowest volume weighted average price of the common shares in the five days preceding conversion.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders of the Series I Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive for each share of Preferred Shares, out of the assets of the Company or proceeds available for distribution to our shareholders, subject to any rights of our creditors, before any distribution of assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of our common stock and any other class or series of our stock ranking junior to the Series I Preferred Shares, payment of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the $1.00 liquidation preference amount per Series I Preferred Shares and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series I Preferred Shares (including dividends accrued on any unpaid dividends). To the extent the assets or proceeds available for distribution to shareholders are not sufficient to fully pay the liquidation payments owing to the holders of the Series I Preferred Shares and the holders of any other class or series of our stock ranking equally with the Series I Preferred Shares, the holders of the Series I Preferred Shares and such other stock will share ratably in the distribution.
For purposes of the liquidation rights of the Series I Preferred Shares, neither a merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Series I Preferred Shares receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, nor a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets will constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.
Issuance of 10,200,000 shares of Series I Preferred Shares
On December 31, 2009, the Company issued to Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund FIS (“Trafalgar”) (a significant stockholder of the Company), 10,200,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock, in exchange for 23,000 shares of the Company’s own common stock previously held by Trafalgar. The 19,667 common stock were acquired in the year 2009 and 3,333 common stock in the year 2010 at $443 per share and the preferred stock was issued at $1.00 per share. The transaction was recorded using the Cost Method, resulting in treasury stock of $10,200,000 and an increase to Preferred Stock value of $10,200,000.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 470-20, Debt, Debt with Conversions and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible Series I Preferred Stock. The Company allocated a portion of the value of share cancelled to Preferred stock. The fair value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which approximates the fair value measured using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions: Dividend yield: $-0-; Volatility: 214.38% and risk free rate: 0.85%.
The FASB finalized ACS 815, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Under ASC 815, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company has classified the Series I Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity. The Company has determined that it needs to account for these imbedded beneficial conversion features, issued to holder in 2009 for its Convertible Preferred Stock, as derivative liabilities, and apply the provisions of ASC 815. The instruments have a ratchet provision (that adjusts the exercise price according to market rate i.e., at 85% of the market rate). As a result, the ratchet provision has been accounted for as derivative liabilities, in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”) requires that the fair value of these liabilities be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations
The fair value of the embedded conversion features were measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of issuance and as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | | | Date of | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | Issuance | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Imbedded Beneficial Conversion Feature: | | | | | | | | | |
Risk-free rate | | | 0.21 | % | | | 0.62 | % | | | 0.85 | % |
Annual rate of dividends | | | 0 | | | | 0 | | | | 0 | |
Volatility | | | 479.47 | % | | | 188.56 | % | | | 214.23 | % |
Weighted Average life (years) | | | 2.75 | | | | 3.50 | | | | 5.0 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fair Value | | $ | 10,199,287 | | | $ | 9,414,818 | | | $ | 10,034,407 | |
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The Company based expected volatility on the historical volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the embedded beneficial conversion features was based on their full term. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
The net value of the reset provision at the date of issuance was recorded as a derivative liability in the amount of $10,034,407 and debited to beneficial conversion feature which was deducted from the face value of the preferred stock, since the preferred stock is a classified as temporary equity and was immediately amortized in 2009.
As of the date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company adjusted the recorded fair value of the reset derivative liability to market resulting in non-cash, non-operating loss of $784,469 and $609,208, respectively in connection with the issuance of these Series I Preferred shares..
Issuance of 2,363,500 shares of Series I Preferred Shares
On August 23, 2010, the Company issued an additional 2,363,500 shares of its Series I Preferred stock to a third party in connection a payment by the third party of $193,599 in accrued interest and $451,593 in principal payable (an aggregate payment of $645,192) to agent of a holder of certain of the Company’s convertible bonds. The Company and the holder of the convertible bonds are currently in dispute as to the application of the $645,192 payment made to its agent.
While the Company’s Certificate of Designation limited the issuance of the Series I Preferred shares to 10,200,000, the Company intends to amend the Certificate to correct this ministerial omission and increase the number of designated Series I Preferred shares to 12,563,000 , and accordingly has accounted for the issuance consistent with the issuance of the previous 10,200,000 Series I Preferred shares
The fair value of the embedded conversion features were measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of issuance and as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | | | Date of | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | Issuance | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Imbedded Beneficial Conversion Feature: | | | | | | | | | |
Risk-free rate | | | 0.21 | % | | | 0.62 | % | | | 0.68 | % |
Annual rate of dividends | | | 0 | | | | 0 | | | | 0 | |
Volatility | | | 479.47% | | | | 188.56 | % | | | 180.22 | % |
Weighted Average life (years) | | | 3.90 | | | | 4.65 | | | | 5.0 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fair Value | | $ | 2,363,495 | | | $ | 2,265,368 | | | $ | 2,261,584 | |
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The Company based expected volatility on the historical volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the embedded beneficial conversion features was based on their full term. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
The net value of the reset provision at the date of issuance was recorded as a derivative liability in the amount of $645,192 (maximum limit to value of preferred stock) and debited to beneficial conversion feature which was deducted from the face value of the preferred stock, since the preferred stock is a classified as temporary equity. This was immediately amortized in August 2010.
As of the date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company adjusted the recorded fair value of the reset derivative liability to market resulting in non-cash, non-operating loss of $98,126 and $1,566,965, respectively in connection with the issuance of these Series I Preferred shares.
In December 2009, the Company disposed of its principal asset, the Mulunkay Gold Corp subsidiary. The Company has not received notice from the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock exercising their rights under the terms of the Preferred Stock Designation to be paid the liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had 12,563,500 preferred shares issued and outstanding.

On August 23, 2010, the company cancelled 3,333 shares of common stock as part of issuance of 10,200,000 Preferred stock, as described above.
On January 22, 2011, a previously issued $100,000 Convertible Note was assigned to a Company shareholder at the $0.001 of conversion price. The Company recorded $582,973 as loss on change in term of note.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on our financial statements
CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS
We are engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and advancement of mining projects. Although we were considered to have exited the pre-exploration stage with the Muluncay acquisition, the disposal of Muluncay necessitates that we re-enter the pre-exploration stage effective December 31, 2009. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are devoting substantially all of our efforts to the execution of our business operations. To date, funding to acquire and explore suitable gold properties and for operational purposes was acquired through private financings. The Company may need additional cash advances from stockholders or loans from other parties to pay for operating expenses until the Company consummates an acquisition . Although it is currently anticipated that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements with additional cash advances or loans from other parties, if needed, for at least the next twelve months, the Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for such period.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2010.
Our net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $1,976,960 compared to a net loss of $3,563,840 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, a 45% decrease of $1,586,880. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not generate any revenue from continuing operations.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we incurred operating expenses of $9,273 compared to $165,757 incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $156,484. These expenses incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 consisted of: (i) professional fees of $5,000 (2010: $135,116); (ii) salaries and wages of $-0- (2010: $3,000); (iii) advertising and promotion of $-0- (2010: $12,600); (iv) insurance of $-0- (2010: $9,833); and (v) other general and administrative expenses of $4,273 (2010: $5,208). Operating expenses decreased due to the decreased scope and scale of our business operations. General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, and consulting costs.
Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2010 (Cont’d).
Other income (expense) was incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 of ($1,967,687) (2010: ($3,398,083). Other income (expense) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 consisted of: (i) interest expense (including amortization of beneficial conversion feature) of ($272,725) compared to ($1,179,999) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010; and (ii) change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,111,629 (2010: ($2,218,084)). The company in January 2011 incurred a loss of $583,333 on conversion of a Charms note. We determined to discontinue operations with our Muluncay subsidiary, a mining operation in Ecuador effective December 31, 2009.
Therefore, this resulted in a net loss applicable to common shares during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 of $1,976,960 compared to a net loss applicable to common shares during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 of $3,563,840.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2011
As at September 30, 2011, our current assets were $50 and other assets of $6,644 representing bond issue costs – related party – for total assets of $6,694. Our current liabilities were $2,916,146, which resulted in a working capital deficit of ($2,916,096). As of September 30, 2011, our liabilities were primarily comprised of: (i) $248,485 in accounts payable; (ii) $565,000 in convertible notes payable, current; (iii) $1,610,407 of convertible bonds payable, and (iv) a derivative liability is $13,117,278. The decrease in total assets during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 from fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the payment of Company expenses.
Stockholders’ deficit increased from $25,591,777 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 to $26,872,923 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in operating activities was $11,400 consisting primarily of a net loss of $1,976,960 offset by loss on settlement of debt of $583,333 and loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,111,629.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We did not engage in any investing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We did not engage in any financing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.
Plan of Operation and Funding
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported a net loss from operations of $ 1,976,960 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, accumulated deficit of $ 18,314,474 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $ 2,916,096 as of September 30, 2011.
The Company is in the pre-exploratory stage and does not have any revenues from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Management expects that global economic conditions will continue to present a challenging operating environment through 2012.
While we have been able to manage our working capital needs with the current credit facilities, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow requirements from operations. We cannot predict whether this new financing will be in the form of equity or debt. We may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments.
Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off- Balance Sheet Arrangement s
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Number of Employees
As of September 30, 2011 the Company had one (1) part-time employee.
Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
The Company does not have any significant contractual obligations which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement accounting controls, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
The reason for the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was the result of having a limited number of employees and not having proper segregation of duties based on the cost benefit of hiring additional employees solely to address the segregation of duties issue. We compensate for the lack of segregation of duties by employing close involvement of management in day-to-day operations.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As a small business, without a viable business and revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. As is the case with many small businesses, the Company will continue to work with its external consultants and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the foreseeable future.
The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management's review of key financial documents and records.
As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider all of these risks.
