ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

General

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2006. We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either development or production stages. We maintain our statutory registered agent’s office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511. Our business office is located at #300 – 500 North Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is (760) 610-4504. Ms. Miller, our secretary/treasurer, provides our office space on a rent-free basis.

 

We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund operations.

 

We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business. We are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause us to change our plans.

 

Background

 

We are an exploration stage mining company, incorporated in Nevada.

 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.

 

On August 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Quitclaim Deed (the “Deed”) with Kee Nez Resources, LLC (“Grantor”), a Utah limited liability company. Pursuant to the Deed, the Grantor, in consideration of $10 and other valuable consideration, remise, release, and forever quitclaim unto the Company all of Grantor’s right, title, and interest in and to the GSR group of unpatented lode mining claims situated in Churchill Country, Nevada. As a result, the Company has obtained title to the GSR claims in August 2013.

 

The Company did not incur further expenditures on the properties during the year ended June 30, 2017 (2016: $nil) due to a lack of cash.

 

Employees

 

We intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties.

 

Employees and Employment Agreements

 

At present, we have no full-time employees. Our two officers and directors are part-time employees and each will devote about 10% of their time or four hours per week to our operation. Our officers and directors do not have employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans. However, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors, will handle our administrative duties. Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploration, they will hire qualified persons to perform the surveying, exploration, and excavating of the property. As of today, we have engaged private companies to review and evaluate properties mineral claims located in USA and (Mexico).

 

Our Office

 

Our business office is located at #300 – 500 North Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is (760) 610-4504. We use this space on a rent free basis.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

Summary

 

The following is a description of the Company’s mineral properties. The Company holds a 100% interest on four contiguous Federal BLM unpatented lode mining claims in Nevada that were acquired for mineral exploration purposes, primarily in exploration for precious metals.

 

The Property

 

The four GSR lode mining claims, named GSR 1, 2, 3 and 4, were staked on Federal BLM lands on July 9, 2012 by Kee Nez Resources, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. The BLM claim numbers for claims GSR 1, 2, 3 and 4 are 1076314, 1076315, 1076316 and 1076317 respectively. Each of the four claims are 20.66 acres in size for a total of 82.64 acres.

 

The Company acquired these unpatented claims on August 15, 2013, from Kee Nez Resources, LLC, who quitclaimed the four claims to the Company. This transfer was filed and recorded with the BLM on August 23, 2013. As a result, Golden Star Resource Corp. holds a 100% interest in the four claims. There are no underlying agreements or royalties.

 

A Maintenance Fee or a Maintenance Fee Waiver Certification must be filed annually on or before September 1st in order to keep the claims valid and is filed in advance for the upcoming assessment year. Since the Company holds less than 10 Federal unpatented lode mining claims it is entitled to file a Maintenance Fee Waiver Certification in lieu of paying the fee of $155 per claim. Payment of the Maintenance Fee or filing of the Fee Waiver Certification is the responsibility of Golden Star Resource Corp. Notice of Holding of these claims is also filed annually with Churchill County.

 

All requirements have been met until the next annual due date of September 1, 2018

 

There are no buildings, equipment or other facilities on the claims. Sources of power and water have not been investigated to date.

 

The Company only has mineral rights by virtue of these claims. It does not hold any surface rights.

 

Location

 

The GSR 1-4 unpatented lode mining claims are situated in Sections 9 and 16, T14N, R35E, MDM, in Churchill County, Nevada.

 

The property is located 98 air miles southeast of Reno, NV and 48 air miles southeast of Fallon, NV. The property can be accessed from Fallon by heading east on US Hwy 50 for 46 miles and then heading south on NV 361 for 15 miles. This paved highway cuts across the southeast corner of the claim group (see Fig 2).

Geology

 

The GSR property lies in the Basin and Range Province near its western margin where it adjoins the northwest-southeast trending Walker Lane mineral belt. This boundary is about 20 miles west of the GSR property. The Basin and Range Province is a major physiographic region of the western US, centered on Nevada and western Utah, typified by north-northeast trending mountain ranges separated by broad flat alluvium filled valleys. Gold and silver mineralization is known to occur in many parts of this Province.

 

In the vicinity of the GSR property there are numerous historical small mine workings in the surrounding mountain ranges, an active exploration project at Bell Mt. 8 miles to the northwest and several past producing large gold mines, such as Paradise Peak 25 miles to the southeast and Rawhide 25 miles to the west.

 

The near-surface rocks in the area of the GSR property are a series of sub-outcropping Mesozoic Age metasedimentary rocks overlain by Tertiary Age rhyolitic lavas and volcanoclastics.

 

No exploration has been carried out on the property by GSR and it has not been examined by a GSR contracted professional geologist or by GSR’s officers or directors.

 

Due to current subdued market conditions in the junior natural resource markets the Company has no plans for an exploration program until it has the ability to raise sufficient funds to engage in an exploration program. Such a program would likely initially entail prospecting, geological mapping and rock-chip sampling. Quality Assurance and Quality Controls for sampling collection protocols will be developed with the exploration program as funding allows. There would be no permitting or bonding requirements for this preliminary phase of exploration. Permits and bonding would be required if and when exploration advanced to a drilling or trenching phase since those activities cause surface disturbance.

 

The property is currently without any known reserves and any program to be proposed in the future would be exploratory in nature.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not presently a party to any litigation.

 

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

During the fourth quarter, there were no matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

 

PART II

 

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that our limited market will develop into a regular trading market, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder in all likelihood will be unable to resell his securities in our company. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops.

 

Our company’s securities are traded over-the-counter on the Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) under the symbol “GLNS”. Our shares were listed for trading on July 3, 2007.

 

Fiscal Year 2017  High Bid   Low Bid 
Fourth Quarter 4-01-17 to 6-30-17  $0.25   $0.0 
Third Quarter 1-01-17 to 3-31-17  $0.25   $0.0 
Second Quarter 10-01-16 to 12-31-16  $0.25   $0.0 
First Quarter 7-01-16 to 9-30-16  $0.25   $0.0 

 

Fiscal Year 2016  High Bid   Low Bid 
Fourth Quarter 4-01-16 to 6-30-16  $0.25   $0.0

First Quarter 7-01-15 to 9-30-15  $0.25   $0.0 

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not declared any cash dividends. We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

 

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.

 

 6 
  

 

Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

 

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

 

We have no equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no shares authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan.

 

Status of our public offering

 

On October 25, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our Form SB-2 Registration Statement effective, file number 333-137922, permitting us to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. There was no underwriter involved in our public offering.

 

On March 28, 2007, we completed our public offering by raising $107,000. We sold 1,070,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $0.10 per share.

 

Use of Proceeds

 

Since the time of raising money by offering shares of our stock, we have net proceeds of $107,060. We have used proceeds (net of $171,940 accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $201,558 loan payable and $152,626 due to related parties) for the following: $211,740 for professional fees, $49,500 for administration, $98,359 for consulting fees, $13,177 for mineral claim payment, $90,704 for transfer and filing fees, $49,355 for office and sundry, $54,304 for interest expenses, $18,500 for rent, and $54,381 for travel. Our total cash outlays have been offset by a $8,842 foreign exchange gain.

 

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

  

This section of the quarterly report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are a start-up, exploration Stage Corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and do not anticipate generating any revenues until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever achieve these goals. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals in order to implement our project and stay in business. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others.

 

Our exploration target is to find a mineralized material, specifically, an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant that the property contains reserves. We have not yet selected a consultant. Mineralized material is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don’t find mineralized material or if it is not economically feasible to remove it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.

 

In addition, we may not have enough money to complete the acquisition and exploration of a property. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our acquisition we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or through loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. If we need additional money and cannot raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.

 

Research & Development

 

As an exploration stage company in the mining industry we are not involved in any research and development.

 

Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

 

As a company in the mining industry we are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. We strive to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are currently taking the steps indicated above. We believe that our operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations on environmental matters. These laws and regulations, on federal, state and local levels, are evolving and frequently modified and we cannot predict accurately the effect, if any, they will have on its business in the future. In many instances, the regulations have not been finalized, or are frequently being modified. Even where regulations have been adopted, they are subject to varying and contradicting interpretations and implementation. In some cases, compliance can only be achieved by capital expenditure and we cannot accurately predict what capital expenditures, if any, may be required.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the acquisition and exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price increases in services.

 

To become profitable and competitive, we need to identify a property and conduct research and explore our property before we start production of any minerals we may find. If we do find mineralized material, we will need additional funding to move beyond the research and exploration stage. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have completed our public offering as of March 28, 2007 and to date have raised $107,060, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans.

 

Currently, we do not have sufficient funds for our intended business operation. Ms. Miller, one of our officers and directors, has agreed in financing the related operating expenditures to maintain the Company. The foregoing agreement is oral; we have nothing in writing. While Ms. Miller has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law because no consideration was given. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash and can’t raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

 

Since inception, we have issued 7,070,000 shares of our common stock and received $107,060.

 

In April 2006, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Kathrine MacDonald, our former secretary/treasurer, in consideration of $30 and we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors, in consideration of $30 pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1993.

 

We issued 1,070,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This was accounted for as a purchase of shares of common stock.

 

As of June 30, 2017, due to related parties balance of $152,626 (2016: $121,619) represents the combination of the following:

 

$54,959 (June 30, 2016: $54,959) owed to a company controlled by a former director and principal shareholder of the Company, for the amount of office, transfer agent and travel expenses paid by the related party on behalf of the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand;

 

$28,000 (June 30, 2016: $28,000) owed to a director of the Company, for the amount of office, travel and telephone expenses paid by the related party on behalf of the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. Also see Note 6.

 

$69,667 (2016: $38,659) was payable to a principal shareholder’s company, for the operating expenses paid by the related party on behalf of the Company. The loan amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

 

8
 

 

Loan payable consists of the following:

 

$143,700 (2016: $143,700) was payable to 0787129 B.C. Ltd. (a non-related party) of which $51,272 and $34,827 were the result of the assignment and transfer from loan payable to ATP Corporate Services Corp. (a non-related party) and Bobcat Development (a non-related party), respectively. The loan amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

 

$57,858 (2016: $57,858) was payable to Bobcat Development (a non-related party). The loan amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Golden Star Resource Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Golden Star Resource Corp. (the “Company”) or as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements refer to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from inception and has not generated revenue to date. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Organization

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on April 21, 2006.

 

Exploration Stage Activities

 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage. During the fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Mayan Mineral Ltd. to acquire a resource property in Nevada (Note 4). Currently, the Company is actively looking for other mineral properties for its planned business operation.

 

Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire and explore mineral properties. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of mineral property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of its properties, and upon future profitable production. The Company has not generated any revenues or completed development of any properties to date. Further, the Company has a working capital deficit of $524,118 (June 30, 2016 - $504,816), has incurred losses of $631,178 since inception, and further significant losses are expected to be incurred in the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company will require additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising the necessary financing. Management’s plans in this regard are to raise equity and debt financing as required.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.

GOLDEN STAR RESOURCE CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

  a) Cash

 

Cash consist of cash on hand and deposits in banks.

 

  b) Mineral Property Acquisition Payments

 

The Company expenses all costs incurred on mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized.

 

The Company regularly performs evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

  c) Exploration Expenditures

 

The Company follows a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until a production decision in respect of the project and the Company is reasonably assured that it will receive regulatory approval to permit mining operations, which may include the receipt of a legally binding project approval certificate.

 

  d) Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company has adopted ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset.

 

The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

  e) Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States 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.

 

The following is a summary of significant management estimates and provisions:

 

  ● Calculation of future income taxes – the estimated future tax rate of 35% is used to calculate future income tax assets in 2017.

 

  f) Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable and due to a related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

The Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

  g) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and ASC 740 —Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which require the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

 

  h) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 – “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because there are no potential dilutive securities.

 

  i) Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate unless such items are carried at market value, in which case they are translated using exchange rates that existed when the value were determined. Any resulting exchange rate differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2017, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Entities will have to apply the guidance retrospectively, but if it is impracticable to do so for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements, if any.

 

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash. Entities will be required to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements, if any.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and sets forth the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for existing leases. The Company currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its financial statements, if any.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments to the guidance enhance the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure. The updated guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, ASC 606. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies may apply the new guidance using either the full retrospective transition method, which requires restating each prior period presented, or the modified retrospective transition method, under which the new guidance is applied to the current period presented in the financial statements and a cumulative-effect adjustment is recorded as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on how to account for and disclose going concern risk. The guidance is effective for the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

 

4. MINERAL CLAIM INTEREST

 

On August 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Quitclaim Deed (the “Deed”) with Kee Nez Resources, LLC (“Grantor”), a Utah limited liability company. Pursuant to the Deed, the Grantor, in consideration of $10 and other valuable consideration, remise, release, and forever quitclaim unto the Company all of Grantor’s right, title, and interest in and to the GSR group of unpatented lode mining claims situated in Churchill Country, Nevada. As a result, the Company has obtained title to the GSR claims in August 2013.

 

The Company did not incur further expenditures on the property during the year ending June 30, 2017 (2016: $nil) due to lack of cash.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

  a) There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from the inception of our company through the date of this Form 10-K. Our financial statements for the period from inception to June 30, 2014, included in this report have been audited by MNP LLP, as set forth in this annual report.
     
  b) On July 7, 2011, Chang Lee LLP (“Chang Lee”) resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as Chang Lee was merged with MNP LLP (“MNP”). Most of the professional staff of Chang Lee continued with MNP either as employees or partners of MNP and will continue their practice with MNP. On Date, the Company, through and with the approval of its Board of Director, engaged MNP as its independent registered public accounting firm.
     
  c) Prior to engaging MNP, the Company did not consult with MNP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by MNP on the Company’s financial statements, and MNP did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
     
  d) The reports of Chang Lee regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and during the period from June 30, 2010 to July 7, 2011, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Chang Lee on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Chang Lee would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being June 30, 2014, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - continued

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures which pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation under the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm with respect to internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the year ended June 30, 2016 which have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - continued

 

There are no other stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors other than as described herein.

 

To date, we have not entered into employment contracts with any of our officers and do not intend to enter into any employment contracts until we have adequate funds to do so.

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

 

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

 

Indemnification

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding in which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this report, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares.

 

The stockholder listed below has direct ownership of his shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares.

 

Name and Address      Percentage of 
Beneficial Ownership [1]  Number of Shares   Ownership 
Steven Bergstrom   0    0%
3390 Toopal Drive          
Oceanside, California 92058          
           
Marilyn Miller   3,000,000    42.43%

Vancouver, British Columbia V5C 1E1          

 

[1] The persons named above “promoters” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Mr. Bergstrom and Ms. Miller are the only “promoters” of our company.
   
[2] Ms. MacDonald holds title to her common stock in the name of Dimac Capital Corp., a British Columbia corporation which she owns and controls.

 

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders

 

A total of 6,000,000 shares of our stock are currently owned by one of our officers and directors, Marilyn Miller, and one individual. 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Dimac Capital Corp., a corporation owned and controlled by Kathrine MacDonald, our former officer and director, in April 2006. Another 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors. The 6,000,000 shares are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Rule 144 provides that a person may not sell more than 1% of the total outstanding shares in any three month period and the sales must be sold either in a brokers’ transaction or in a transaction directly with a market maker.

 

 14 
  

 

Ms. MacDonald and Ms. Miller will likely sell a portion of their stock, if the market price goes above $0.10. If they sell their stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop. In general, sales of shares held by officers or large shareholders, after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

Because our officers, directors and a principle shareholder control us, regardless of the number of shares sold, your ability to change the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, there is no value attributable to the right to vote. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.

 

No common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants or securities convertible into common stock.

 

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

In April 2006, 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Dimac Capital Corp., a corporation owned and controlled by Kathrine MacDonald, our former officer and director. Additionally, 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors. These transactions were accounted for as acquisitions of shares of common stock for consideration of $30.

 

Mr. Bergstrom and Ms. Miller are our only promoters. They have not received or will they receive anything of value from us, directly or indirectly, in their capacities as promoters.

 

During the fiscal year 2010, Dimac Capital Corp. advanced $9,274 to cover our operating expenses. On June 1, 2010, we assigned the total amount of $25,176 owed to Dimac Capital Corp. to ATP Corporate Services Corp.

 

During the fiscal year 2010, a company related to Dimac Capital Corp. advanced $1,431 to cover our operating expenses. On June 1, 2010, we assigned the amount to ATP Corporate Services Corp.

During the fiscal year 2014, $54,959 (2014: $55,379) of office, transfer agent and travel expenses were incurred on behalf of the Company and owed to Dimac Capital Corp.

 

During the fiscal year 2015, $28,000 (2014: $16,000) owed to Marilyn Miller for the office, travel and telephone expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.
