Mariposa Resources, Ltd.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

(Unaudited)

 




1.

Organization


Mariposa Resources, Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 31, 2006 in the State of Nevada, U.S.A.  It is based in Miami, Florida, USA.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.


The Company is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties.  The Company has the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A. and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. Prior to this, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital.  


Exploration Stage Company


The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7.  The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to development of business plans and the acquisition of mineral properties.



2.

Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.  The Company had $3,213 and $14,705 in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively.


Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs


The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in May 31, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Significant Accounting Policies - Continued


Start-Up Costs


In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities”, the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments


The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 119, “Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amount due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these items.  Certain fair value estimates may be subject to and involve, uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments in the management of its foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.


Segmented Reporting


SFAS Number 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, changed the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders.  It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers.  The company presently operates only in the United States.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness.  At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.  The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.


Earnings (Loss) per Share of Common Stock


The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement Number 128, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.


The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

Significant Accounting Policies – Continued


Foreign Currency Translations


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar.  All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into the US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.


No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded from inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2008.


Comprehensive Income (Loss)


SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  From inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2008, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income.  Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2008.


Risks and Uncertainties


The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial operational, technological and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.


Environmental Expenditures


The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs.  Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the company vary greatly and are not predictable.  The Company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.


Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits.  All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability.  Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Recent accounting pronouncements that are listed below did and/or are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, but will be implemented in the Company’s future financial reporting when applicable.


FASB Statements:


In May 2008, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.


In May 2008, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.


In March 2008, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133.” The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years. Constituents have expressed concerns that the existing disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Accordingly, this Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

Significant Accounting Policies Continued


FASB Statements - Continued:


In December 2007, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement amends ARB No. 51 to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards of the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends).


In December 2007, FASB issued a revision to Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.”  The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

Capital Stock


Authorized Stock


The Company has authorized 100,000,000 common shares and 100,000,000 preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.001 per share.  Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.


Share Issuances


Since inception (May 31, 2006), the Company has issued 3,000,000 common shares at $0.01 per share, and 1,737,500 common shares at $0.04 per share, resulting in total proceeds of $99,500 and 4,737,500 common shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2008. Of these shares, 3,000,000 were issued to directors and officers of the Company and 1,737,500 were issued to unaffiliated investors.


There are no preferred shares outstanding.  The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.



4.

Income Taxes


The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under SFAS No. 109 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.

Income Taxes Continued


Minimal exploration stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carryforwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carryforwards generated during the period from May 31, 2006 (date of

inception) through September 30, 2008 of approximately $102,024 will begin to expire in 2026. Accordingly, deferred tax assets of approximately $35,000 were offset by the valuation allowance that increased by approximately $6,000 and $4,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.



5.

Mineral Property Costs


By agreement dated July 27, 2006 with Gold Explorations LLC, of Minden, Nevada, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in certain properties consisting of 20 unpatented mineral claims, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA.


Upon execution of the agreement, Gold Explorations LLC transferred 100% interest in the mineral claims to the Company for $53,000 to be paid, at the Company’s option, as follows:

All payments shall be made within 30 days of the due date or the Property and all rights will revert back to Gold Explorations LLC. Gold Explorations LLC allowed the Company to defer payment of $4,000 of the July 27, 2008 payment for six months.  This $4,000 will be due on or before January 26, 2009.


In addition, the Company must incur exploration expenditures of $50,000 on the Property by July 27, 2011.  The Company had a report recommending a work program of approximately $22,000.  The program consisted of surveying a control grid, soil and rock chip sampling and geological mapping.  A total of $25,191 was advanced during April – June 2007 and the work program was completed prior to the year ended June 30, 2007.  


The Company is also responsible for maintaining the mineral claims in good standing by paying all the necessary rents, taxes, and filing fees associated with the Property.   As of September 30, 2008, the Company met these obligations.


The property is subject to a 3% royalty, to Gold Explorations LLC, on all mineral commodities sold from the property.  This royalty shall be reduced to 1.5% upon payment to the Vendor of $1,000,000 USD at any time

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As at September 30, 2008, the Company has working capital deficiency of $2,524 and an accumulated deficit of $102,024.  The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.


The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development and sale of ore reserves.


In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.


These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Plan of Operation


The following plan of operation should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and operating histories, regulatory delays or denials, ability to compete as a start-up company in a highly competitive market, and access to sources of capital.

Mariposa Resources Ltd. is a start-up, exploration stage mining company and has not yet generated or realized any revenues from its business operations.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that 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 for our expenses. This is because we have not generated any revenues from the sale of minerals and no sales are yet possible.  There is no assurance we will ever reach this point. Accordingly, we must raise sufficient capital from sources.  Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others. We must raise cash to stay in business. We raised $69,500 from our public offering. Under this offering we sold 1,737,500 shares at $0.04 per share to unaffiliated shareholders, these shares together with 3,000,000 shares sold to directors brings the total number of shares issued to 4,737,500.


We have used much of the above-mentioned funds to explore and maintain our resource property located on the MRP Claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada. We do not intend to acquire or dispose of any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.

Our exploration target is to find an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the property contains reserves.  We have retained Gold Explorations LLC to supervise the exploration work on the property.


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 do not find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we may cease operations.


If the Company requires additional funds, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans.


The Company retained Steve Karoyli, a managing partner, of Gold Explorations LLC, Minden, Nevada to do a work program based upon his recommendations in his report for the MRP Claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada.  Mr. Karoyli recommended a program of detailed geological mapping, and trenching.  The exposed material in the trenches was to be metal detected with a Minelab GP Extreme Metal detector.  The estimated cost of the program was $22,000.00 USD and $25,190 was paid in April to May, 2007.  The program was estimated to start early April, 2007, and the samples were assayed by ALS Chemex of Sparks, Nevada.   


Our Exploration Program


The trenching program started early April, 2007, and was terminated in May, 2007, after which reclamation of the trenches was initiated. The Company did not find economically feasible amounts of  mineralized material.


We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.


Over the past twelve months, we have experienced difficulties in obtaining financing for our business. During this past quarter we have shifted some of our focus to investigating other business opportunities. These opportunities include possible acquisitions or joint venture arrangements in this and other industries. We can provide no assurance that these efforts in exploring possible acquisitions or joint venture arrangements will come to fruition. Additionally, if any new ventures are successfully negotiated, we can provide no assurance that such new venture will have enough financial resources to fully develop the new venture. Although we will continue to explore financing options based upon our existing business plan, our plan of operations for the next 12 months will also include further investigation of forming partnerships with other entities and researching other business opportunities.


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 exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.



16








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


To meet our need for cash we raised $69,500 from our public offering. We cannot guarantee that we have raised enough money through the public offering to stay in business. There is a possibility that we will run out of money before we find mineralized material. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering, or through debt financing.


We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors and Mr. Warman has agreed to advance funds as needed and has agreed to pay any additional cost of reclamation of the property should mineralized material not be found thereon. However, there is no written agreement with Mr. Warman to this affect. The agreement is entirely oral. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. The funds raised in our public offering may allow the company to operate for up to one year. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.


We acquired a lease that grants us the right to enter on a property which contains 20 lode mining claims with our employees, representatives and agents, and to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the property.  The property is staked and we began the exploration work program early April, 2007 and finished May, 2007.

Since inception of the Company on May 31, 2006 to September 30, 2008, the Company has issued 4,737,500 common shares at $0.01 and $0.04 per share for total proceeds of $99,500. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares.

As of September 30, 2008, our total assets were $3,713 and our total liabilities were $6,237.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
