GRAPHITE CORP.
(Formerly First Resources Corp.)
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2013
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Graphite Corp. (formerly First Resources Corp.) (the “Company”) was organized on August 3, 2007, under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful activity. The Company intends engage in the exploration of certain mineral interests in the states of Alabama and Montana. The Company is in the exploration stage.
On August 19, 2010, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. As a result of the Amendment the Registrant, among other things, has: (i) changed its name to “First Resources Corp.;” and, (ii) increased the aggregate number of authorized shares to 310,000,000 shares, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
On June 22, 2012, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. As a result of the Amendment the Registrant has changed its name to “Graphite Corp.”
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8
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. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees based on ASC Topic “Share Based Payment” which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The Topic does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”.
It requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). It further requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of the Topic includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.
As at March 31, 2013, the Company had not adopted a stock option plan. For the period ended March 31, 2013, stock option expense of $23,875 was recorded for the 250,000 options granted on December 10, 2012 (see note 6). For March 31, 2012 there were no stock options or related expense.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
9
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Financial Instruments
The Company adopted the FASB standard related to fair value measurement at inception. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The recorded values of long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows.
·
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
·
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
·
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The recorded values of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.
The following table presents assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
| Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total Realized Loss |
Mar. 31, 2013 | None | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ - |
Dec. 31, 2012 | None | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ - |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY PAYABLES
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has received cash advances from a shareholder or related party of $14,776 and $14,776. The advances are non interest bearing, unsecured and due upon demand.
NOTE 5 – MINERAL PROPERTY
On June 1, 2012, the Company entered into that certain Property Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Mr. Stanley Smith ("Mr. Smith"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement, Mr. Smith shall grant the Company the right and option (the “Option”) to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the mining interests in that certain Property known as the Carr Leases and the Cahaba Forest Management Leases (the “Carr Cahaba Property”) which is comprised of a total of 3,759.6 acres (Cahaba 2967.9 acres and Carr 791.7 acres) and is located in Clay County, Alabama. In order to exercise the Option, the Company shall be required to: (i) pay an initial cash payment of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) to Mr. Smith; (ii) issue an aggregate of three million (3,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Smith; (iii) pay an additional aggregate payment of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) over a three (3) year period; and (iv) pay a production royalty (the “Royalty”) to Mr. Smith equal to two percent (2%) of the net smelter returns, per the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement. The Option Agreement also provides that the Company shall have a one-time right to purchase fifty percent (50%) of the Royalty in the Carr Cahaba Property for five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Mr. Smith has agreed to enter into an eighteen (18) month voluntary lock up agreement for the initial one million (1,000,000) shares he will receive upon execution of the Option Agreement.
In order to exercise its option, the Company must:

Due to a lack of certainty surrounding estimated future production, no reserves established, no future cash flows or salvage value could be establshed, we have impaired all of the carrying value of the acquisitions of the Carr and Cahaba Forest Management Leases. This represents an impairment allowance of $350,000.
NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant granting the holder the right to purchase an additional share for $0.10. The relative fair value, using the Black Scholes Model, of these warrants is $214,445 assuming a discount rate of 0.23% and volatility of 214%.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares as consideration for its mineral property valued at $200,000 based on the closing trading value of the shares on the date of issuance being $0.20 per share. (See Note 5).
Stock Based Compensation
On December 10, 2012, the Company granted 250,000 options at an exercise price of $0.70 to consultants in exchange for various professional services. 62,500 options vest every six months from the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black- Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock based compensation is as follows:
Risk free interest rate | 0.24% |
Expected dividend yield | 0% |
Expected stock price volatility | 491% |
Expected life of options | 2 years |

Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as ofMarch 31, 2013, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having any members who qualify as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 8, 2013, for a complete discussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
