NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - | Organization and Basis of Presentation |
Mustang Alliances, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated on February 22, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Company has not yet generated revenues from planned principal operations and is considered an exploration stage company. The Company originally intended to market and sell anti-lock braking systems produced in China to the auto parts and auto manufacturing market in the United States. The Company has since abandoned its business plan and was seeking an operating company with which to merge or acquire. Currently, we are no longer a blank check company as we have a specific business plan. We are an exploration-stage mining company and as a result of the execution and delivery of the lease agreements, we are now in the business of exploring mineral properties. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve its objectives or goals.
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
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 statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.
NOTE 2 - | Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies |
Going Concern
The Company is an exploration and had no revenues and has incurred a net loss of approximately $620,562 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and a cumulative net loss of approximately $815,541 for the period February 22, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
The Company is attempting to address its lack of liquidity by raising additional funds, either in the form of debt or equity or some combination thereof. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise the additional funds it requires.

NOTE 2 - | Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company has 4,690,000 and 0 warrants and options that are anti-dilutive and not included in diluted loss per share respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts payable and notes payable – related party approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Mining Properties (Exploration Costs)
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration costs are capitalized as incurred,in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 930, Extractive Activities – Mining, when proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Mine exploration costs incurred either to develop new gold, silver, lead and copper deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain. Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the determination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to persons other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718. ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505.
