Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated in 1919 under the laws of the State of
Nevada as Lincoln Divide Mining Company. In July, 1973, the name of the
Company was changed to Lincoln Divide Industries, Inc. In February, 1980, the
name of the Company was changed to Cherokee Mineral and Oil, Inc. The
Company's operations primarily consisted of the acquisition and preliminary
exploration of two placer-mining leases situated in Canada. Presently, the
Company does not engage in any business.
The Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value
common stock. The Company has elected a calendar year end.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.
b. Provision for Taxes
At September 30, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $230,000 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2013. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements,
because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the
carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of
the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation account of the same amount.
c. Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
d. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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.
e. Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all of the
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has not established revenues
sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going
concern. Management believes that the Company will soon be able to generate
revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. Currently management is
committed to covering all operating and other costs until sufficient revenues
are generated.
NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company discontinued its operations in 1985. Therefore, all
revenues generated by the Company have been netted against the expenses and
are grouped into the discontinued operations line on the statement of
operations.
NOTE 5 - STOCK TRANSACTIONS
The Company issued 374,000 shares of common stock for services valued
at $187,000 during February, 1996. On March 3, 1996, the board of directors
approved a reverse stock split on a basis of 50 for 1. The reverse stock
split has been applied retroactively to the financial statements. The Company
subsequently issued 1,994,680 post split common shares for services valued at
$19,946.
On January 27, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a change on the
par value from $0.01 to $0.001, while retaining the currently authorized
capital. The change in par value has been applied retroactively to the annual
statements. The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock for $10,000
cash, which was paid directly to the Company's attorney for legal fees.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
During 1997, an officer and shareholder of the Company paid expenses on
behalf of the Company. At September 30, 1998 the amount owed to the
shareholder was $1,667.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ------------------
The Company has not engaged in any material operations since the
calendar year ended December 31, 1991, or during the quarterly period ended
September 30, 1998. During this period, the Company received revenues of $0.
During the same period, losses from discontinued operations were ($6,463) and
net income totaled ($6,463).
The Company's plan of operation for the next 12 months is to continue
to seek the acquisition of assets, properties or businesses that may benefit
the Company and its stockholders. Management anticipates that to achieve any
such acquisition, the Company will issue shares of its common stock as the
sole consideration for such acquisition.
During the next 12 months, the Company's only foreseeable cash
requirements will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing or the
payment of expenses associated with reviewing or investigating any potential
business venture, which the Company expects to pay from its cash resources.
