NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2010
Note 1. Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Gunpowder Gold Corporation without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at November 30, 2010, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
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. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s August 31, 2010 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
Note 2. Nature of Business
Gunpowder Gold Corporation (the “Company”) formerly named Spartan Business Services Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 19, 2008. The Company is an exploration stage company as defined by Guide 7 of the Securities Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide and ASC Topic 915-10 “Development Stage Entities”. Although the Company is currently in discussions regarding a potential transaction, there is no definitive agreement (or executed letter of intent) regarding such transactions and no assurance that a transaction will occur. The Company presently has no definitive plans, proposals, or other arrangements, written or otherwise.
The Company's fiscal year end is August 31.
Note 3. 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 incurred a net operating loss of $146,721 through November 30, 2010, and 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.
Note 4. Related party transactions
During the periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, a shareholder paid $22,781 and $-0-, respectively, of expenses on behalf of the Company from his personal account. These amounts are reflected as unsecured and non-interest bearing advances with no maturity date. As of November 30, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the balance of these amounts was $63,481 and $40,700, respectively.
During the periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company accrued $8,000 and $-0-, respectively, of consulting expenses payable to a shareholder/officer of the Company.
Note 5. Stockholders’ equity
In November 2010, the Company revised and restated its articles of incorporation to increase the amount of authorized capital to 305,000,000 shares, consisting of 5,000,000 Preferred and 300,000,000 Common, and to affect a 10:1 forward stock split. All references in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively stated tor reflect these changes.
Note 6. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements have been issued and has determined that no events occurred.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The following information may contain certain forward-looking statements that are not historical facts. These statements represent our expectations or beliefs, including but not limited to, statements concerning future acquisitions, future operating results, statements concerning industry performance, capital expenditures, financings, as well as assumptions related to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “shall,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “should,” “continue” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes for future periods to differ materially from any forward-looking statement or view expressed herein. Our financial performance and the forward-looking statements contained in this report are further qualified by other risks including those set forth from time to time in documents filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The following information has not been audited. You should read this information in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in this report.
Plan of Operation
On April 9, 2009, we received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of our Registration Statement on Form S-1. We registered 4,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an offering price of $.01 per share in order to raise $40,000 as our initial capital. The Company then filed an application with FINRA on Form 211 to be listed for public trading. The Company plans on becoming a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible, exploiting natural resource properties.
Results of Operation
The Company did not have any operating income from inception (November 19, 2008) through November 30, 2010. For the period from inception, November 19, 2008 through the quarter ended November 30, 2010, the registrant recognized a net loss of $146,721. Some general and administrative expenses during the year were accrued. Expenses for the year were comprised of costs mainly associated with legal, accounting and office expenses. Expenses for the quarter ended November 30, 2010 were $50,230 as compared to $27,017 for the quarter ended November 30, 2009. This increase in expenses was due to the increased costs of legal, accounting and consulting services during the quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resource
At November 30, 2010, the Company had no capital resources and will rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses pending full implementation of the Company’s business model.
Critical Accounting Policies
Gunpowder Gold Corporation’s 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, revenue 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 if 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 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 consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2010. This evaluation was conducted by Neil Jason Pestell, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.
Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but no absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.
Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Conclusion
Based upon his evaluation of our controls, our Chief Executive Officer and principal accounting officer has concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the disclosure controls are not effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to us is made known to management on a timely basis during the period when our reports are being prepared. There were no changes in our internal controls and internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.
