SARA CREEK GOLD CORP.
(A EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2012
UNAUDITED
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Sara Creek Gold Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 12, 2006, under the name of Uventus Technologies Corp. On September 23, 2009, the Company merged with its wholly owned subsidiary and changed its name to Sara Creek Gold Corp. to better reflect its business plan which is the acquisition, exploration, and development of gold and other mineral resource properties.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Plan of Operations for the year ended August 31, 2011.
Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Year-End - The Company has selected August 31 as its year end.
Exploration Stage Company - The Company’s financial statements are presented as a company in the exploration stage of business. Activities during the exploration stage primarily include implementation of the business plan and obtaining debt and/or equity related financing.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(A EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2012
UNAUDITED
Cash - Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and investment grade commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash Held at Banks - The Company maintains cash balances at an institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011 no amounts were in excess of the federally insured program, respectively.
Revenue Recognition Policy - The Company will recognize revenue once all of the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: pervasive evidence that an agreement exists; the product or service has been rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions; and collection of the amount due is reasonably assured. The Company did not realize any revenues from June 12, 2006 (inception) through May 31, 2012.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry forward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company discloses, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. As of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011 the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such financial instruments, respectively.
Dividends - The payment of dividends by the Company in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED
Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible shares, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the periods presented is equivalent since the Company had continuing losses. The Company had no common stock equivalents as of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively.
Risks and Uncertainties - The Company’s operations and future are dependent in a large part on its ability to locate economically developable deposits of precious metals. The Company’s inability to locate and extract precious metals may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements - There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s interim unaudited financial statements.
3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2012, the Company had total current assets of $1,052 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $63,328. The Company incurred a net loss of $31,507 during the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and an accumulated net loss of $714,480 since inception. The Company has not earned any revenues since inception and its cash resources are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or sale of its common stock as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
Management’s plan in this regard, is to raise capital through a combination of equity and debt financing sufficient to finance the continuing operations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such financing. As an alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger, or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders.

As Davis Accounting Group P.C. was not licensed when it issued its audit report on the Company’s financial statements, the Company may not include the audit reports in its filings with the Commission.
On April 13, 2011, the Company amended its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 to remove the audit report of Davis Accounting Group P.C. and restate the financial statements as unaudited.
The financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011 have been audited by L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC. Their audit reported is included on the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011 and was filed on December 13, 2011.
The unaudited interim financial statements for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, included on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2012, have been restated to reflect a resolution by the Board of Directors to forgive $58,740 in outstanding notes receivable during the period ended May 31, 2011 and $374,154 during the year ended August 31, 2010.
See also Note 5 regarding notes receivable and bad debt expense.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Various statements have been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may also be made in the Company’s other reports filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other documents. In addition, the Company through its management may make oral forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and therefore, you should not put undue reliance upon them. Some of the statements that are forward-looking include: our ability to successfully implement our business plan; our estimates of revenues and of other expenses associated with our operations; our ability to identify, explore and extract mineralized material; and our ability to generate sufficient cash flows and maintain adequate sources of liquidity to finance our ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
History and Overview
Sara Creek Gold Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 12, 2006, under the name of Uventus Technologies Corp. On September 23, 2009, the Company merged with its wholly owned subsidiary and changed its name to Sara Creek Gold Corp. to better reflect its business plan which is the acquisition, exploration, and development of gold and other mineral resource properties.
Plan of Operations
Our overall strategy is to target the exploration and acquisition of mining concessions that allow for economically viable development and production with minimal net environmental impact. Our exploration target is mineral bodies containing gold.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.
Three and nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011
During the three months ended May 31, 2012 we had a net loss of $6,862, consisting of general and administrative expense in the amount of $5,495 and interest expense of $1,367. Similarly, during the three months ended May 31, 2011, we incurred net loss of $4,863 consisting of general and administrative expense in the amounts of $3,602 and interest expense of $1,261.

For the period from June 12, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2012
We did not earn any revenues from June 12, 2006 (inception) through May 31, 2012 but incurred a net loss in the amount of $714,480. This loss consisted of general and administrative expense in the amount of $705,421 and interest expense of $9,059. General and administrative expense during this period included notes receivable of $432,894 which was written off as bad debt expense.
Operating Activities
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, the Company has decreased its cash position by $406. During this period we used cash in the amount of $25,406 for operating activities which includes a net loss of $31,507 offset by accrued interest on notes payable of $5,133 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the amount of $968.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company used cash in the amount of $6,394 for operating activities. Cash used in operating activities included a net loss of $69,886 offset by a $58,740 loss on settlement of debt, accrued interest on notes payable of $2,658 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,074.
14

This includes an accumulative net loss of $714,480 offset by a $432,894 net loss on settlement of debt, accrued interest on notes payable of $9,059 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $50,414.
Investing Activities
There were no investing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. In contrast, during the nine months ended May 31, 2011, investing activities included notes receivable in the amount of $58,740 which was written off as bad debt expense during the period.
For the period from June 12, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2012, cash used in investing activities totaled $432,894 and included cash advances to third parties in the form of notes receivable which were written off as bad debt expense during the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2011.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company received proceeds from notes payable in the amounts of $25,000 and $65,000 for total cash provided by financing activities of $25,000 and $65,000, respectively. Non-cash financing activities included $80,000 and $503,093 in notes payable to that were converted to common stock and stockholders waived $9,059 and $0 in accrued interest as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
From June 12, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds from notes payable in the amount of $618,414, repaid $21,355 to the note holders, and received proceeds from issuance of common stock of $59,000 for total cash provided by financing activities of $656,059. $583,093 of the proceeds from notes payable was converted to common stock and stockholders waived $9,059 in accrued interest as of May 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
As of May 31, 2012 the Company had cash of $1,052, current liabilities of $64,380 and a working capital deficit of $63,328. During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, the Company had a loss of $31,507 and used net cash of $25,406 for operating activities.
To date, we have relied on investor capital to fund our operations having raised $59,000 from the issuance of common stock since inception and $618,414 from investors through debt, $21,355 of which was repaid and $583,093 of which was converted to common stock leaving a balance due of $13,966 as of May 31, 2012.
We are in the exploration stage of our business and have not generated any revenues from operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the implementation of our plan of operations, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases.
We presently do not have any available credit, financing or other external sources of liquidity. In order to obtain future capital, we may need to sell additional shares of common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. We have no assurance that future financings 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. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders and any downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets is likely to make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
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. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Going Concern
As of May 31, 2012, the Company had total current assets of $1,052 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $63,328. The Company incurred a net loss of $31,507 during the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and an accumulated net loss of $714,480 since inception. The Company has not earned any revenues since inception and its cash resources are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or sale of its common stock as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
15
Management’s plan in this regard, is to raise capital through a combination of equity and debt financing sufficient to finance the continuing operations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such financing. As an alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger, or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our unaudited interim financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited interim financial statements:
Exploration Stage Company
The Company’s financial statements are presented as a company in the exploration stage of business. Activities during the exploration stage primarily include implementation of the business plan and obtaining debt and/or equity related financing.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and investment grade commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible shares, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s interim unaudited financial statements.
16
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Interim Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
