Gold Standard Mining Corp.
A Development Stage Company
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Business
Gold Standard Mining Corp. was incorporated in Nevada on December 11, 2007. The plan of operations is to acquire at mining rights, including primarily gold mining rights, for a number of properties, to explore such properties for ore reserves, and to develop those properties where such development would appear to be commercially viable. These properties may be anywhere in the world, but at least initially the plan is to focus our efforts in Russia and the former Soviet states due to the potential for high yields.The Company will seek to acquire rights primarily in properties where there is no or low upfront cash payment required, but will instead provide the property owner a royalty or other interest in the revenues from the sale of ores mined from the property.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The operating results for the period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 or for future periods.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The Company is in the development stage and has had no revenues since inception. Since inception, it has incurred significant losses to date, and as of March 31, 2011, has an accumulated deficit of approximately $6,860,000. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is uncertain and is dependent upon its ability to implement a business plan sufficient to generate a positive cash flow and/or raise capital to fund its operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations in the normal course of business.
Note 2 – Condensed Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Gold Standard Mining Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, GS Wyoming. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of March 31, 2011, there were outstanding options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share and options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share. These shares are not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation Topic 718, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. This adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
There were no other recent pronouncements that would have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Related Party Transactions
Mr. Zachos has periodically made loans to the Company to fund its operations. These advances are non-interest bearing, and are due on demand. Loan balances at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $258,023 and $228,983, respectively.
Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies
Beginning in 2011, the Company’s executive offices are provided by a shareholder on a month-to-month basis at no cost. The estimated value of this space is recorded as contributed capital at $2,300 per month. Total rent expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $6,900 and $500, respectively.
The Company is unaware of any legal claims against it.
Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis, which should be read in connection with our financial statements and accompanying footnotes, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are set forth in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors That May Affect Our Future Operating Results and Risks of Investing in our Common Stock” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Those forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, our plans and strategies.
9
Overview
We are a shell company with no active business. Our plan of operations is to acquire mining rights, including primarily gold mining rights, for a number of properties, to explore such properties for ore reserves, and to develop those properties where such development would appear to be commercially viable.
Results of Operations
We have had no revenues since inception.
We incurred operating expenses of $35,289 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and compared to $19,311 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Operating expenses primarily relate to accounting and legal expenses associated with our reporting responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a result, we incurred net losses of $35,289 and $19,311 in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded our operations principally through the issuance of stock for services, the issuance of stock for cash, and advances from Pantelis Zachos, an executive officer, director and a principal shareholder. In the first quarter of 2011, we funded our operating expenses with $29,040 of advances from Mr. Zachos. These advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.
We will have minimal operating expenses pending the time we commence exploration and development activities on specific mining properties. These expenses will be principally legal, accounting and audit expenses in connection with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We anticipate funding these expenses through stock sales in private transactions or additional shareholder loans. We do not have a commitment from anyone to provide funds for our operating expenses. If we do not obtain funds for these expenses, we will have to cease operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Because we have no operations, we are not currently subject to market risk.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in weighing the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and procedures. Limitations are inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud within the company have been detected.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the same person has both titles), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date.
10
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
