Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” or “could” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause Mountains West Exploration, Inc. actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by Mountains West Exploration, Inc. in those statements. Important facts that could prevent Mountains West Exploration, Inc. from achieving any stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
Some of these risks might include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) | volatility or decline of the Company’s stock price; |
| |
(b) | potential fluctuation in quarterly results; |
| |
(c) | failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits; |
| |
(d) inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans; |
| |

| |
(f) | rapid and significant changes in markets; |
| |
(g) | litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; or |
| |

There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, and the Company may not be able to successfully develop, or manage any business, the Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and personnel, and competition and government regulation may hinder the Company’s business attempts. Further, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in business.
11
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed by the Company in 2006 and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company.
Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2007 compared to Same Period in 2006
The Company had no revenues during the three month period in 2007 or 2006. The Company divested itself of fractional producing working interests in June 2006, when the production was unitized by the operator and the Company was notified of significant back charges against future revenues, as well as a significantly reduced ownership in the unit. The cost of goods sold was $0 and $0 in the three month period in 2007 and 2006 respectively.
The Company experienced $75 in operating expense in the three month period in 2007 compared to $615 in such expense in the same period in 2006. There was administrative expense incurred in the period of $13,028 in 2007 and $35,914 in 2006. Additionally, the company wrote off a $25,000 deposit it made during the first quarter relating to an acquisition that was cancelled. The total expenses in the period were $38,103 in 2007 and $36,529 in 2006. Additionally, the Company incurred interest expense for the period of $103,500. The net loss for the period was $141,603 in 2007 compared to a net loss of $36,529 in 2006 for the same period. The net loss per share was ($0.11) in the period in 2007 compared to a net loss per share of (0.03) in 2006.
Changes in Financial Condition
Year to date the Company experienced an increase in cash position to $3,532 at quarter end. The Company’s long term debt is $927,500. The Company has total current liabilities in the amount of $96,304. The Company expects the trend will be increased losses due to no revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Year to date, the Company had a increased cash position, which remains insufficient for any significant operations. The Company had $3,532 in cash at quarter end comprising the Company’s total assets.
The Company’s only capital resources are its common stock which might be sold to raise capital.
12
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs, to operate, and pay debt, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. Lack of capital may be a sufficient impediment to prevent it from accomplishing the goal of expanding its operations. There is no assurance, that without funds it will ultimately allow the Company to carry out its business. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue and expand its business activities in the next twelve months.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be other than available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses as they may be incurred.
Irrespective of whether the Company’s cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company’s operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
On March 22, 2006, Mountains West Exploration, Inc. signed a letter of intent to purchase an online dating and online education business from Think Partnership, Inc. with a deposit of $250,000 to be credited against the purchase price if the transaction is completed. The $250,000 deposit will only be returned to Mountains West Exploration, Inc., if Think Partnership sells the selected subsidiaries to a third party. Mountains West Exploration has borrowed the funds for this transaction from a related party, LD Acquisition, LLC. As of March 29, 2007 this letter of intent was cancelled and the deposit was forfeited.
On December 11, 2006 Mountains West Exploration, Inc. signed a letter of intent to purchase The Right One, Together Dating and eLove.com. A deposit of $250,000 was wired to The Right One as a deposit to this letter of intent. As of April 12, 2007 this letter of intent was cancelled and the deposit was forfeited.
Both of the deposits on these proposed transactions were written off in the 4th quarter of 2006.
During the first quarter of 2007 the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase Traffix, Inc. A deposit of $25,000 was wired to Traffix, Inc. This letter of intent was subsequently cancelled and the deposit was written off during the 1st quarter of 2007.
GOING CONCERN
The Company’s auditor has issued a “going concern” qualification as part of his opinion in the Audit Report. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a “going concern.” The Company has no business, limited capital, no debt minimal cash, no other liquid assets, and no capital commitments. Management hopes to seek and obtain funding, via loans or private placements of stock for operations, debt and to provide working capital.
