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. We are an exploration stage mining company and as a result of the execution and delivery of the lease agreements, we are 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.
NOTE 2 - Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The Company is in the exploration stage and has no revenues, has incurred a net loss of $4,885,196 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and a cumulative net loss of $7,060,347 for the period from February 22, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2013. In addition, at September 30, 2013, there is a working capital deficit of $1,282,175. 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 available from external sources such as debt, equity financings, or other potential sources. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources will force the Company to substantially curtail and cease operations, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any funds, if available, will possess attractive terms or have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

NOTE 2 - Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability, 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. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of equity instruments, and valuation of derivative transactions.
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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. As of September 30, 2013, $297,175 was deposited in excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to be minimal.
As of September 30, 2013, approximately $50,200 of the Company’s cash is maintained in a foreign country that is not covered by the FDIC.
Plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the asset, are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations in other income and expenses.
Depreciation is provided to recognize the cost of the asset in the results of operations. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight-line method with estimated useful life as follows:
Item | | Useful Life |
Vehicles | | 5 years |
Mining equipments | | 10 years |
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has 13,500,000 shares convertible under note agreements, 14,015,000 warrants and 0 options that are anti-dilutive and not included in diluted loss per share. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has 0 shares convertible under note agreements, 2,175,000 warrants and 4,690,000 options that are anti-dilutive and not included in diluted loss per share.

NOTE 2 - Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). Under ASC Topic 740, 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 Topic 740, 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. The Company’s 2010 to 2012 tax returns are subject to examination by Internal Revenue Services.
Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC 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 sheets for accounts payable and notes payable – related party approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Firm Sale Commitment - Derivative
The Company intends to produce gold bullion. As a result of an agreement with a note holder, the Company has agreed to deliver and sell 100 oz of gold bullion each month over the next 35 months (3,500 oz in total) at a fixed price of $500, unless price of gold as measured by the Kitco.com price index is below $1,000 at which time the fixed price drops to $400 per ounce. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, we value this derivative at its fair value determined to be the intrinsic value differential between the spot price and fixed price at each reporting period with adjustments to fair value to be made each reporting period.
Mining Properties (Exploration Costs)
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration costs are capitalized as incurred,in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)
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. During 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of $106,000.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period to conform with the current period presentation.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued ASC Topic 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation(ASC Topic 718). Under ASC Topic 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 other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC Topic 718.
ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or the earlier of the non-employee performance is complete or 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 FASB ASC.
Fair Value Measurement
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
MUSTANG ALLIANCES, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - Going Concern and Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)
Fair Value Measurement (Continued)
• Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2-Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
• Level 3-Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table summarizes our financial instruments measured at fair value as of September 30, 2013:
| | Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2013 | |
Liabilities: | | Total | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |
