NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Riverdale Mining Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Riverdale's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2008 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
From March 30, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2008, Riverdale Mining has not generated revenues and has accumulated losses of $121,492 since inception. The continuation of Riverdale Mining as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of Riverdale Mining to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. There is no guarantee that Riverdale Mining will be able to complete any of the above objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Riverdale Mining's ability to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. 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. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Plan of Operation
We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration on the mining claims. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of our registration statement. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this report. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don't find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our property and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
The property is undeveloped raw land. To our knowledge, the property has never been mined.
In June 2007, Mr. Vaskevich executed a declaration of trust acknowledging that he holds the property in trust for us and he will not deal with the property in any way, except to transfer the property to us. In the event that Mr. Vaskevich transfers title to a third party, the declaration of trust will be used as evidence that he breached his fiduciary duty to us. Mr. Vaskevich has not provided us with a signed or executed bill of sale in our favor. Mr. Vaskevich will issue a bill of sale to a subsidiary corporation to be formed by us should mineralized material be discovered on the property. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has
- 8 -
occurred, we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We cannot predict what that will be until we find mineralized material. Mr. Vaskevich does not have a right to sell the property to anyone. He may only transfer the property to us.
Mr. Vaskevich may not demand payment for the claim when he transfers it to us. Further, Mr. Vaskevich does not have the right to sell the claim at a profit to us if mineralized material is discovered on the property. Mr. Vaskevich must transfer title to us, without payment of any kind, regardless of what is or is not discovered on the property.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that whatever is located under adjoining properties may or may not be located under the property. We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the property.
We intend to implement an exploration program which consists of core sampling. Core sampling is the process of drilling holes to a depth of up to 100 feet in order to extract samples of earth. Mr. Vaskevich, after confirming with our consultant, will determine where drilling will occur on the property. Mr. Vaskevich will not receive fees for his services. The samples will be tested to determine if mineralized material is located on the property. Based upon the tests of the core samples, we will determine if we will terminate operations, proceed with additional exploration of the property, or develop the property. The proceeds from our public offering are designed to only fund the costs of core sampling and testing. We intend to take our core samples to analytical chemists, geochemists and registered assayers located in British Columbia. We have not selected any of the foregoing as of the date of this report.
We estimate the cost of drilling will be $20 per foot drilled. We intend to drill 21 holes. We estimate that it will take up to three months to drill 21 holes to a depth of 100 feet each. We will pay a consultant up to a maximum of $5,000 per month for his services during the three month period or a total of $15,000. The total cost for analyzing the core samples will be $4,120.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves through the use of consultants. To develop the reserves, we will have to raise additional funds through a second public offering, a private placement or through loans. As of the date of this report, we have no plans to raise additional funds other than the funds. Further, there is no assurance we will be able to raise any additional funds even if we discover mineralized material and a have a defined ore body.
We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

Milestones
The following are our milestones:
| 1. | September - November 2008 - Core drilling. Core drilling will cost $20 per foot. The number of holes to be drilled will be dependent upon the amount raised from the offering. Core drilling will be subcontracted to non-affiliated third parties. Cost $54,380 to $130,880. Time to conduct the core drilling - 90 days. To carry out this milestone we must conduct the core drilling. The driller will be retained by our consultant. |
| | |
| 2. | December 2008 - January 2009 - Have an independent third party analyze the samples from the core drilling. Determine if mineralized material is below the ground. If mineralized material is found, we will attempt to define the ore body. We estimate that it will cost $4,120 to analyze the core samples and will take 30 days. Delivery of the samples to the independent third party is necessary to carry out this milestone. |
| | |
| 3. | February - June 2009 - If we discover significant quantities of mineral, we will have technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. These studies will be performed by third party professors. Cost - $5,000 to $10,000. |
The cost of the subcontractors is included in cost of the exploration services to be performed as set forth in the Use of Proceeds section and the Business section of our registration statement.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we conduct research and exploration of our property before we start production of any minerals we may find.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Future equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans.
At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.
