ITEM 3.02

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As described below under “Item 5.06. . . Description of Business,” the Company issued 65,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to Kat Exploration, Inc. (“KATX”) as a partial payment of the aggregate purchase price of 161,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Handcamp Shares”) for its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of “Handcamp,” a gold property located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and agreed to issue the remaining 96,000,000 Handcamp Shares to KATX as soon as reasonably practical thereafter. The 96,000,000 Handcamp Shares were issued on September 14, 2010. None of such Handcamp Shares was registered under the Securities Act.

Description of Business

 

Company Background

Bella Viaggio, Inc. (“BVIG”) is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2007. On April 28, 2010, Kenneth Stead, an individual (the “Purchaser”) acquired 2,043,333 shares of common stock of BVIG, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from Ronald A. Davis and Ronald G. Brigham for an aggregate purchase price of $275,272. Simultaneously therewith, the Purchaser purchased an additional 220,667 shares of Common Stock from eleven other shareholders of BVIG. Consequently, the Purchaser paid an aggregate purchase price of $305,000 for the 2,264,000 shares of Common Stock, which constituted approximately 85.6% of all the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. The foregoing share acquisition resulted in a change in control of BVIG.

On June 4, 2010, pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 28, 2010 by and between BVIG and Kat Exploration Inc., a company organized under the laws of Nevada (the “KATX”), BVIG acquired (the “Acquisition”) 100% of “Handcamp,” a gold property located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (the “Property”) from KATX in exchange for 161,000,000 (the “Handcamp Shares”) shares of its Common Stock. BVIG issued 65,000,000 Handcamp Shares to KATX on June 4, 2010; the remaining 96,000,000 Handcamp Shares were issued on September 14, 2010.

Following the Acquisition, BVIG changed its business model to that of a mineral acquisition, exploration and development company focused primarily on gold properties. On August 26, 2010 BVIG’s name was changed to Kat Gold Holdings Corp. (the “Company”). As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has not generated any revenues but has incurred expenses related to the drilling and exploration of the Handcamp gold property.

The Common Stock is quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Despite the recent change in the Company’s name, the Common Stock remains quoted under the symbol BVIG. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 1149 Topsail Road, in the City of Mount Pearl, in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, A1N 5G2. Its telephone number is (709) 368-9223. The Company has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since its inception, the Company has not, other than as described below, made any significant purchases or sales of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations and the Company has no subsidiaries. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Overview
The Company has no material income and/or assets (other than the Property discussed below) and has cumulative losses from its inception through June 30, 2010 of approximately $113,000,000. The Company is a natural resources exploration stage company, formed for the purpose of exploring and discovering mineral properties. The Company is currently focused on the mining and resources sector and intends to attempt, subject to, among other factors, its ability to obtain substantial financing, to continue to increase its holdings of gold and other precious metals. The principal objective of the Company is to attempt to locate, mine for and sell mineral properties.

The Property
On June 4, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of “Handcamp,” a gold property (the “Property”). The Property is located approximately 20 miles north of Badger, central Newfoundland and 6 miles northeast of an abandoned copper mine. Abandoned logging roads run through the Property, which the Company believes will allow for accessibility and mobility of heavy equipment. One 50-yard wide mineralized zone lies within a strata-bound (rock layers) structurally complex zone which lies near a major east-directed thrust within the Roberts Arm Group (volcanic rocks) and is reflected in folding, shearing (fracturing) and mylonite (fine-grained, compact rock) development. Superimposed on the volcanogenic sulfide mineralization is epigenetic (formed after the rocks were laid down) disseminated gold mineralization. The Company believes that the optimal sulfide mineralization is associated with sericite schist (rocks formed under high temperature and pressure) with veinlets and dissemination (finely spread minerals) having been traced over a strike length of almost a mile.

1700 soil samples were collected by representatives of the Company along the grid, which were assayed for gold and base metals indicating what management of the Company believes to be promising results. Rock samples were collected over the prospected areas with numerous samples showing significant mineral content with some gold numbers reaching a high of 158 grams per ton gold, 94 grams per ton and gold, 82 grams per ton gold, along with excellent zinc, copper and silver numbers (massive to semi-massive sulfides). A chip sample was cut over the main Property’s gold deposit that shows an average of 7.1 grams per ton gold over 27feet.

Business Strategy
The Company intends to build its business through the exploration and development of the existing Handcamp gold property; the acquisition, exploration, staking and development of future gold properties and the acquisition of producing gold properties. The Company’s strategy is to diversify its revenue sources by combining the secure and reliable revenue source of producing gold properties with the potential of gold exploration projects. The Company plans to explore and stake new gold properties, acquire development stage gold exploration properties, carry out exploration programs on the acquired properties, and develop any viable gold producing properties it discovers, acquires and is able to pursue, assuming that it is able to raise the requisite financing for such activities. While its head office and the Handcamp gold property are both located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Company has not limited itself graphically with respect to future properties. The Company is committed to examining all promising and viable properties that come to its attention with a particular interest in North American properties.

The Company’s search for producing gold properties has been directed towards small and medium-sized gold companies and properties. For its initial acquisitions, if any, the Company is seeking lower risk property interests. In building its portfolio of gold properties, the Company intends, subject to obtaining the requisite financing, to explore and stake new gold properties, acquire active gold producing properties as well as development stage gold properties. As the Company continues to develop its portfolio of interests, it will search for properties that have the following qualities:

 

 

 

 

at least developmental drilling exploration potential in proven producing areas and highly promising areas;

 

 

 

 

significant additional production capacity in existing gold producing properties;

 

 

 

 

further developmental potential; and

 

 

 

 

those where the Company will have the ability to assume operatorship of existing gold producing properties.

Seasonal Access
The exploration for and development of gold properties depends on access to areas where exploration and operations are to be conducted. Seasonal weather variations, including frost and snow, affect access in certain areas. Accordingly, seasonal variations in weather patterns affect the ability to explore and access certain properties during certain times of the year.

5


Markets
The Company is currently in the exploration stage and has not generated revenues. The Company is not producing gold, nor does it have any customers. The availability of a ready market and the prices obtained for gold produced depend on many factors, including the extent of domestic production and imports of gold, the proximity and capacity of other gold properties, fluctuating demand for gold, the marketing of competitive metals, and the effects of governmental regulation on production and sales.

Sales and Marketing
Management believes that its customers consist essentially of other mining companies looking for properties to include in their mining and production programs. Management believes that its relationship with certain of the potential customers will assist the Company in implementing its business plan. The price of each property is determined by the anticipated amount and value of minerals it contains. If management is able to acquire a pool of gold assets, management expects that it would attempt to sell them to a major mining company that would then bring the property into production.

Competition
The strength of commodity prices has resulted in significantly increased industry operating cash flows and has led to increased exploration activity. This strength has increased competition for undeveloped lands, skilled personnel. access to drilling equipment and other equipment, and access to processing and gathering facilities, all of which may cause drilling and operating costs to increase. Virtually all of the Company’s competitors are larger than it is and have substantially greater financial and marketing resources. In addition, virtually all of the Company’s competitors may be able to secure products and services from vendors on more favorable terms.

Government Regulation
The Company’s operations will be subject to various types of regulation at the Canadian and United States federal, state, provincial and local levels. Such regulation includes: (i)requiring permits for drilling; (ii) implementing environmental impact practices; (iii) submitting notification and receiving permits relating to the presence, use and release of certain materials incidental to exploration and production operations, and (iv) regulating the location of exploration, the method of exploration, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in connection with exploration and production activities, surface usage and the restoration of properties upon which exploration and production occur and the transporting of production.

The Company’s operations, if any, will also be subject to various conservation matters, including the regulation of the location, size and production rate of gold properties. The effect of these regulations may limit the rate at which gold may be extracted from certain properties and the areas which the Company may access at one time.

Operations on properties in which the Company has or may acquire an interest are subject to extensive Canadian and United States federal, provincial, state and local environmental laws that regulate the discharge or disposal of materials or substances into the environment, restoration of properties and otherwise are intended to protect the environment. Numerous governmental agencies issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws, which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and in some cases injunctive relief for failure to comply.

Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination. These laws render a person or company liable for environmental and natural resource damages, cleanup costs and restoration costs. Other laws, rules and regulations may require the rate of gold production to be below the economically optimal rate or may even prohibit exploration or production activities in environmentally sensitive areas. In addition, provincial and state laws often require some form of remedial action, such as closure of inactive pits and restorative measures.

Employees
The Company currently has 6 employees, consisting of two geologists, two secretaries and two prospectors in addition to the individuals acting as officers as set forth hereinafter. None of such individuals is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company has not experienced a strike or other adverse work stoppage due to organized labor.

Risk Factors

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. These statements are subject to uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, demand and acceptance of services, changes in governmental policies and regulations, economic conditions, the impact of competition and pricing, and other risks defined in this document and in statements filed from time to time with the SEC. All such forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, and whether made by or on behalf of the Company, are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements which may accompany the forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Risks Related to the Company

Conflict Of Interest; Fair Value
Kenneth Stead is the CEO and a member of the Company’s board of directors. In addition, Mr. Stead is the President, a member of the board of directors and a controlling shareholder of KATX. The price paid by the Company and the other terms of the Agreement providing for the acquisition of the Property was determined solely by Mr. Stead based upon his belief of the fair value of the Property. There was no fairness opinion issued, nor was there a special committee of independent directors formed to evaluate the fairness of the transaction, whether to or on behalf of the shareholders of either KATX or the Company. Because Mr. Stead is acting and negotiating on behalf of both entities, you must rely on his judgment of the value of the Property as well as on his belief of the fair value of the Handcamp Shares. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Acquisition was fair to either the Company or KATX and/or their respective shareholders.

The Company will require additional capital to pursue its business plan
The Company has no material revenues, income and/or assets (other than the Property) and has cumulative losses from its inception through June 30, 2010 of approximately $113,000,000. The Company has financed its operations since inception through private placements of its securities. Since its inception, the Company has raised approximately $43,000 through the sale of its shares. The Company will need to obtain additional financing to, among other things, fund any future exploration, mining and drilling projects it attempts to undertake and for general working capital purposes. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and any such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of the Common Stock. Debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on the Company’s operating flexibility. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when and if needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Further, the Company may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. The Company’s ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, the capital structure of the Company, the development stage of the Company, the lack of a market for the Common Stock, and the Company’s lack of profitability, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If capital the Company is unable to raise capital or sufficient capital to meet its needs, the Company may be required to cease operations.

The Company’s future success depends on retaining Mr. Stead, its Chief Executive Officer
The Company’s future success depends on its management, particularly that of its Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth Stead. The loss of Mr. Stead would prevent the Company from operating. The Company does not have key-person insurance on Mr. Stead.

Some of the Company’s officers and directors reside outside of the United States which could make it difficult to enforce potential civil liabilities and judgments.
Kenneth Stead, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is a resident of Canada, and all of the Company’s assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be impossible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.

You may not be able to enforce your claims in Newfoundland.
While the Company itself is a Nevada corporation, virtually all its assets are located in Newfoundland. There can be no assurance that a Canada court would not deem the enforcement of foreign judgments requiring the Company to make payments outside of Canada to be contrary to Canadian policy and/or be enforceable.

Risks Related to the Business

The mining industry is highly competitive.
The Company believes, assuming it is able to enter into mining operations, that it will be subjected to competition from other mining companies engaged in the business of gold exploration. Some of the world’s most recognized gold producers operate in North America, which is the location in which the Company operates. All these companies possess vastly greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company does. Moreover, as and if gold exploration becomes more lucrative, other entities may elect to engage in such business, which entities would also then compete with the Company. The gold mining and exploration business is characterized by intense competition.

7


An integral part of the Company’s proposed business plan involves acquisitions but it does not currently have the resources to complete them.
The Company has no current acquisition agreements and/or understandings to effect any such acquisition, nor does it have the resources to complete such additional acquisitions. However, the Company’s proposed business plan contemplates the Company making acquisitions in the future. These acquisitions may include the acquisition of other gold properties believed by management to be potentially significant, which acquisitions may be necessary in order for the Company to reach its goal of becoming a gold producer.

The Company’s success will depend upon its ability to successfully and timely explore and mine gold.
The gold business is subject to substantial risks, including, but not limited to, the ability to identify and locate and then mine the gold. Further, if the Company is successful in locating and identifying the gold, its ability to mine the gold is subject to a number of known and unknown additional risks, including, but not limited to, available labor, compliance with local laws and the ability to obtain financing on favorable terms. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent the start and/or the completion of exploration and mining activities once undertaken, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The exploration and mining business is subject to a number of risks outside of the Company’s control.
The exploration and mining industry is highly cyclical by nature and dependent on the price of gold and future market conditions are uncertain. Factors beyond the Company’s control can affect its proposed business. Factors that could adversely affect the price of gold, most of which will be beyond the Company’s control, include but are not limited to:

 

 

 

 

unfavorable interest rates and increases in inflation;

 

changes in national, regional and local economic conditions;

 

cost overruns, inclement weather, and labor and material shortages;

 

the impact of present or future legislation, zoning laws and other regulations;

 

availability, delays and costs associated with obtaining permits, approvals or licenses necessary to develop the Property;

 

increases in taxes or fees;

 

local law; and

 

available labor and negotiations with unions.

The Company is subject to governmental regulations that may limit the Company’s operations, increase its expenses or subject it to liability.
According to the Company’s Canadian legal counsel, the Company is subject to Canadian laws, ordinances and regulations regarding, among other things:

 

 

 

 

environmental matters, including the presence of hazardous or toxic substances;

 

land preservation;

 

health and safety; and

 

zoning, land use and other entitlements.

In developing any project, the Company may be required to obtain the approval of numerous Canadian governmental authorities (and others) regulating matters such as:

 

 

 

 

installation of utility services such as gas, electric, water and waste disposal;

 

permitted land uses, and

 

the design, methods and materials used. In the exploration and mining for gold.

The Company may not now or in the future be in compliance with all regulatory requirements. If the Company is not in compliance with regulatory requirements, it will be subject to penalties or forced to incur significant expenses to cure any noncompliance. In addition, some of the land that the Company could in the future acquire if it will at such time have the requisite resources and ability, may not have received planning approvals or entitlements necessary for planned or future development. Failure to obtain entitlements necessary for development on a timely basis or to the extent desired would adversely affect the Company’s business.

Increased insurance risk could negatively affect the Company’s business.
Insurance and surety companies may take actions that could negatively affect the Company’s proposed business, including increasing insurance premiums, requiring higher self-insured retentions and deductibles, requiring additional collateral or covenants on surety bonds, reducing limits, restricting coverage, imposing exclusions, and refusing to underwrite certain risks and classes of business. Any of these would adversely affect the Company’s ability in the future to obtain appropriate insurance coverage at reasonable costs which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Risks Related to the Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the issuance of which could, among other things, reduce the proportionate ownership interests of current stockholders. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue additional shares of Common Stock under the Agreement.
The Board of Directors has the ability, without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock in the future for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the shares of Common Stock held by existing stockholders. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has issued the 161 million Handcamp Shares of Common Stock to KATX, the seller of the Property. This issuance will significantly dilute the ownership interest of shares of Common Stock held by present stockholders.

Further, the Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of shares of Common Stock. In the event of such issuance, the shares of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, which could thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares.

There is no active trading market for the shares of Common Stock.
There is no active trading market for the shares of Common Stock or any of the Company’s other securities on any trading medium. Although the shares of Common Stock are eligible for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC BB”) under the symbol “BVIG,” to date there has been extremely limited and sporadic trading of the shares of Common Stock and there can be no assurance as to when or if the shares of Common Stock will become actively traded. If an active trading market does not develop or continue, you will have limited or no liquidity and may be forced to hold any shares of Common Stock that you own for an indefinite period of time.

Further, the OTC BB is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than national securities exchanges. Quotes for shares included on the OTC BB are generally difficult to obtain and holders of securities quoted thereon may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price or at any price. Market prices for the shares of Common Stock would even if quoted on the OTC BB be influenced by a number of factors, including:

 

 

 

 

the issuance of new equity securities pursuant to future offerings;

 

changes in interest rates;

 

competitive developments, including announcements by the Company’s competitors;

 

new services or significant acquisitions;

 

strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

variations in quarterly operating results;

 

change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 

the depth and liquidity of the market for the shares of Common Stock; and

 

general economic and other national and international conditions.

The concentration of ownership of the shares of Common Stock with insiders and their affiliates is likely to limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters.
Approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are under the control of Mr. Stead. As a result, he will have the sole ability to exercise control over all matters requiring approval by the Company’s stockholders, including, but not limited to, the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as the acquisition of Handcamp. This concentration of ownership will also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company that might be viewed as beneficial by other stockholders or discouraging a potential acquirer from making an offer to stockholders to purchase their shares of Common Stock in order to gain control of the Company.

Lack of Reliance upon Rule 144

The availability of Rule 144 will vary depending on whether restricted shares are held by an affiliate or a non-affiliate. In general, under Rule 144 as in effect on the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of Common Stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of the Company’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) the Company is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of Common Stock for at least six months but who are affiliates of the Company at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such persons would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

          •          1% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding; and

          •          if the shares of Common Stock are then traded on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of shares of Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

However, because the Company was until the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K a “shell company” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, holders of the Company’s restricted securities may not rely on Rule 144 to sell their securities until one year from the date hereof. In addition, any sales by affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

 

If holders of shares of Common Stock may in the future rely on Rule 144, many of the shares of Common Stock will in the future be available for resale. Any sales of these shares, if in significant amounts, are likely to depress their market price.

There are presently very few freely tradable shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding that are not freely tradable are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the vast majority of which are owned by the Company’s officers, directors and other “affiliates.” These persons may only sell their shares, absent registration, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 (if at all). Restricted securities may only be publicly sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, or pursuant to Rule 144 or some other exemption that may be available from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Rule 144 entitles each person holding restricted securities for a period of either six months or one year, depending on whether or not the person is an “affiliate” of the Company, to sell an amount of shares which in certain cases does not exceed the greater of 1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding every three months in ordinary brokerage transactions or, assuming the shares of Common Stock are then traded on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to said sale. Any substantial sales pursuant to Rule 144, including the potential sale of the Company’s affiliates’ shares of Common Stock, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the shares of Common Stock, and may hinder the Company’s ability to arrange subsequent equity or debt financing or affect the terms and time of such financing.

 

Recent SEC interpretations of rules relating to registration of securities acquired in private placements could adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital.

Management of the Company believes that the staff of the SEC has relatively recently taken the position with respect to recently filed shelf registration statements covering selling stockholder stock that if a significant percentage of the issuer’s outstanding restricted securities are being registered, the selling stockholders are deemed to be underwriters who must sell into the market at a fixed price. In addition, for selling stockholder shelf offerings related to stock underlying convertible securities, management of the Company believes that some of the staff has indicated in comment letters that the registration statements cannot be filed until the convertible security has been converted. The SEC has not, to the Company’s knowledge, issued any specific guidance or interpretation on this issue, which may also restrict an issuer’s ability to register shares issued to a “promoter.” However, these positions regarding selling stockholder registration statements could severely restrict the Company ability to raise capital through private offerings, whether management’s belief is correct or not since there is a perception in the investment community that the fears may be well founded. Potential financing sources, such as funds and wealthy private investors, may re-think their investment strategies and not want to invest in small public companies where they are restricted in this manner from liquidating their investments through registration and resale of their securities. As a result, the Company’s cost of capital may increase or the Company may not be able to access private investments at all.

If the shares of Common Stock are traded and/or quoted, the Company expects that the shares will be subject to the “penny stock” rules for the foreseeable future.

The Company expects that the shares of Common Stock, if traded and/or quoted, will be subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for the shares. As long as the shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

 

Because the Company does not intend to pay any dividends, holders of the shares of Common Stock must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment. The Company has not paid any dividends on the shares of Common Stock and does not intend to declare and pay any dividends on the shares of Common Stock. Earnings, if any, are expected to be retained to finance and expand the Company’s business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations

 

Forward-looking Statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. These statements are subject to uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, demand and acceptance of services, changes in governmental policies and regulations, economic conditions, the impact of competition and pricing, and other risks defined in this document and in statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All such forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, and whether made by or on behalf of the Company, are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements which may accompany the forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

 

Overview

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2007. Following the Acquisition, the Company changed its business model to that of a mineral acquisition, exploration and development company focused primarily on gold properties. On August 26, 2010 the Company’s name was changed to Kat Gold Holdings Corp. As of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has not generated any revenues but has incurred expenses related to the drilling and exploration of the Handcamp gold property.

 

The Company has no material income and/or assets (other than the Property discussed below) and has cumulative losses from its inception through June 30, 2010 of approximately $113,000,000. The Company is a natural resources exploration stage company, formed for the purpose of exploring and discovering mineral properties. The Company is currently focused on the mining and resources sector and intends to attempt, subject to, among other factors, its ability to obtain substantial financing, to continue to increase its holdings of gold and other precious metals. The principal objective of the Company is to attempt to locate, mine for and sell mineral properties. It is the Company’s objective to attempt to take advantage of the increased value of precious metals and to generate joint venture clients, and in so doing to become an efficient and profitable, precious metals exploration and mining company. In pursuing this goal, management of the Company currently intends to concentrate any funds it is able in the future to obtain, if any, to explore areas that management believes will have mineral resources. Management’s current plan, subject to other items such as obtaining sufficient capital for the operation of the Property, is to attempt to move forward to the next stage of in-depth exploration, which consists of ground geophysics, trenching and drilling. This phase, management believes, will determine the extent of the deposit along with its value.

 

Plan of Operations

The Company strategy is to stake, explore and develop new properties in geologically promising areas and to continue making acquisitions of select properties that have been identified as economically attractive, technically and geologically sound and have significant upside potential.

 

The Company intends to build its business through the exploration and development of the existing Handcamp gold property; the acquisition, exploration, staking and development of future gold properties and the acquisition of producing gold properties. The Company’s strategy is to diversify its revenue sources by combining the secure and reliable revenue source of producing gold properties with the potential of gold exploration projects. The Company plans to explore and stake new gold properties, acquire development stage gold exploration properties, carry out exploration programs on the acquired properties, and develop any viable gold producing properties it discovers, acquires and is able to pursue, assuming that it is able to raise the requisite financing for such activities. While its head office and the Handcamp gold property are both located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Company has not limited itself graphically with respect to future properties. The Company is committed to examining all promising and viable properties that come to its attention with a particular interest in North American properties.

 

The Company operates with virtually no capital. Since the acquisition of the Handcamp property, the Company has funded an exploration program using investment capital from KATX, its majority shareholder. The Company has recently been awarded a provincial government grant by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador to, in part, fund the Company’s exploration of the existing Handcamp gold property. The Company is currently attempting to raise sufficient funds to purchase new gold properties and fund further exploration. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to purchase any gold properties in addition to the Handcamp property.

12



 

Unproven Properties

On June 4, 2010, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Handcamp gold property from KATX. The Company has commenced exploratory drilling operations on the Handcamp property and sent core samples obtained for analysis. Further drilling is ongoing. The Company is currently awaiting the results of these core samples.

 

Cash Requirements

The Company estimates that it will require an additional $1 million to fund exploration work and an additional $1.5 million for the acquisition of existing gold properties. The Company has no long term debt and has been able to meet its past financial obligations, including operational expenses, exploration expenses and acquisition costs, on a current basis.

 

Based upon the Company’s present cash position, it will need to raise additional capital prior to December 31, 2010 in order to fund further exploration and acquisitions. The Company is in discussions with prospective investors to provide additional funding in exchange for equity. In order to finance further exploration and acquisitions, we will need to raise a minimum of $2.5 million. However, there can be no assurance that the requisite financing will be raised in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans if not cease them entirely. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had no cash balances as of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company’s principal source of funds has been cash supplied from KATX, the Company’s majority shareholder.

 

Cash flow from operations.

To date, the Company been able to meet its operational cash flow needs on a current basis.

 

Cash flows from shareholders.

Net cash provided by KATX, the majority shareholder, aggregated $253,904 as of June 30, 2010.

 

Variables and Trends

Other than the current exploration of the Handcamp gold property, the Company has no operating history with respect to its exploration, acquisition and development of gold properties. However, KATX and certain of the officers and directors of the Company, including Ken Stead, Timothy Stead and Wayne Pickett, have significant mining exploration, acquisition and development experience.

 

In the event that the Company is able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with its business plan, the Company expects that its expenses will increase significantly as it attempts to grow its business. Accordingly, the above estimates for the financing required may not be accurate and must be considered in light these circumstances.

 

Commitments

As of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s only material capital commitment was the continued funding of the exploration of the Handcamp gold property. It is anticipated that any further capital commitments that may be incurred will be financed principally through shareholder loans and the issuance of securities of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that additional capital resources and financings will be available to the Company on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no 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 are material to investors.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

Acquisition of Control of the Company

On April 28, 2010, Kenneth Stead, an individual (the “Purchaser”) acquired 2,043,333 shares of Common Stock, from Ronald A. Davis and Ronald G. Brigham for an aggregate purchase price of $275,272. Simultaneously the Purchaser purchased an additional 220,667 shares of Common Stock from eleven other shareholders of the Company. Consequently, the Purchaser paid an aggregate purchase price of $305,000 for the 2,264,000 shares of Common Stock, which constituted approximately 85.6% of all the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. The foregoing share acquisition resulted in a change in control of the Company. All such purchases were made at arm’s length.

 

Acquisition of Handcamp

On June 4, 2010, pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 28, 2010 by and between the Company and Kat Exploration Inc., a company organized under the laws of Nevada (the “KATX”), the Company acquired 100% the Property from KATX in exchange for the 161,000,000 Handcamp Shares. As a result of this issuance of the Handcamp Shares, KATX presently owns approximately 98% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company and Kenneth Stead, a controlling stockholder of KATX, beneficially owns approximately 99% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

Shareholder Loans

The Company had no cash balances as of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company’s principal source of funds has been cash supplied from KATX, the Company’s majority shareholder. Net cash provided by KATX, the majority shareholder, aggregated $253,904 as of June 30, 2010.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The information included under “Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Securities” is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Description of Securities

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 505,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each such share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes, such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Articles.

Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the Board, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the shares of Common Stock. Holders of the shares of Common Stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the shares of Common Stock.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company’s charter provides that, to the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, no director or officer of the Company shall have any liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages. The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that a corporation’s charter may include a provision which restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages except: (1) to the extent that it is provided that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (2) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company’s charter and bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its currently acting and its former directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, except for liability for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

The charter and bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Company. However, nothing in the Company’s charter or bylaws protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of negligence or misconduct of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The basic principle which governs all of our officers, directors and employees (the “Insiders”) is that the Company’s business should be carried on with loyalty to the interest of our shareholders, customers, suppliers, fellow employees, strategic partners and other business associates. In furtherance of the foregoing, no Insider shall: (a) employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Company or any Business Associate; (b) engage in any act, practice or course of conduct which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Company or any Business Associate.

The Company is committed to a high standard of business conduct. This means conducting business in accordance with the spirit and letter of applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with ethical business practices. This Code, which applies to all Insiders and their Family Members, helps in this endeavor by providing a statement of the fundamental principles that govern the conduct of the Company’s business. In addition, all Insiders and their family members are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to the Company.

1. Definition of Terms Used

          (a) “Business Associate” means any supplier of services or materials, customer, consultant, professional advisor, lessor of space or goods, tenant, licensor, licensee or partner of the Company.

          (b) “Company” includes Kat Gold Holdings Corporation and each of its subsidiaries and affiliated business entities.

          (c) “Insider” means any officer, director or employee of the Company.

          (d) “Family Members” means as to a specific Insider, his or her Immediate Family Members and any company, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity that is directly or indirectly controlled by that Insider or by any Immediate Family Member of that Insider.

          (e) “Immediate Family Member” includes the spouse (or life partner) and children of an Insider and any relative (by blood or marriage) of that Insider or spouse (or life partner) residing in the same household as such Insider.

          (f) “Compliance Officer” shall mean the General Counsel of the Company.

2. Transactions with the Business Associates

          (a) In adhering to the foregoing basic principles, our Insiders and their Family Members must not profit, directly or indirectly, due to their position in the Company to the detriment, or at the expense, of the Company or any Business Associate. No Insider shall take for his or her own advantage any corporate opportunity for profit, which he or she learns about in his or her position with the Company.

          (b) Insiders and their Family Members are encouraged to patronize our Business Associates. However, no Insider or Family Member shall sell to, or purchase from, a Business Associate any goods or services except in the ordinary course of the Business Associate’s business. No Insider or Family Member shall borrow money or other property from a person known by the Insider to be a Business Associate, unless that Business Associate is regularly engaged in the business of lending money or such other property, and the loan and the terms

1


thereof are in the ordinary course of the Business Associate’s business.

3. Non-Disclosure of Information

          (a) No Insider or Family Member shall discuss with, or inform others about, any actual or contemplated business transaction by a Business Associate or the Company except in the performance of the Insider’s employment duties or in an official capacity and then only for the benefit of the Business Associate or the Company, as appropriate, and in no event for personal gain or for the benefit of any other third party.

          (b) No Insider or Family Member shall give any information to any third party about any business transaction of the Company or its Business Associates that are proposed or in process unless expressly authorized to do so by the Compliance Officer.

          (c) No Insider or Family Member other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President, Corporate Marketing or Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations, may discuss with any member of the press or media the Company or its Business Associates except with the prior authorization of the Compliance Officer. Insiders and Family Members shall refer all press inquiries to the Senior Vice President, Corporate Marketing or Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations.

4. Preferential Treatment and Gifts
No Insider shall seek or accept for his or her self or for any Family Member any favors, preferential treatment, special benefits, special documents, gifts or other consideration as a result of such Insider’s association with a Business Associate or the Company, except those usual and normal benefits directly provided by a Business Associate or the Company. The foregoing, however, does not prohibit receipt of gifts of nominal value.

5. Conflicts of Interest

          (a) An Insider shall maintain a high degree of integrity in the conduct of the Company’s business and maintain independent judgment. Each Insider must avoid any activity or personal interest that creates, or appears to create, a conflict between his/her interests and the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest arises any time such a person has a duty or interest that may conflict with the proper and impartial fulfillment of such person’s duties, responsibilities or obligations to the Company. Conflicts of interest include, by way of example, a person:

                    (i) making an investment that may affect his/her business decisions;

                    (ii) owning a meaningful financial interest in, or being employed by, an organization that competes with the Company;

                    (iii) owning a meaningful financial interest in, or being employed by, an organization that does, or seeks to do, business with the Company;

                    (iv) making a material decision on a matter where such person=s self-interests may reasonably call the appropriateness of the decision into question;

                    (v) being employed by or accepting compensation from any other person as a result of business activity or prospective business activity affecting the Company.

          (b) An officer or employee that becomes aware of a personal interest which is, or may be viewed as, in conflict with that of the Company or a Business Associate should promptly present the situation and the nature of the possible conflict to the Compliance Officer for appropriate consideration. A director of the Company that becomes aware of a conflict of interest should bring the matter to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Insider shall refrain from further action until the situation has been consented to in writing by the Compliance Officer or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as the case may be.

          (c) No Insider or Family Member shall personally benefit, directly or indirectly from any Company

2


purchase or sale, or derive any other personal gain from any other Company activity, except when the transaction has been fully disclosed to and approved in writing as provided in this Code.

          (d) No Insider or Family Member shall have any meaningful personal business or financial interest in any Business Associate or competitor of the Company, without proper consent. For these purposes, holding 5% or less of the shares of a Business Associate or competitor whose shares are publicly traded shall not be deemed “meaningful.”

          (e) No Insider shall hold any position with (including as a member of the board of directors or other governing body) or perform services for a Business Associate or a competitor of the Company, without proper consent.

          (f) No Insider shall provide any services to other business enterprises which reasonably could be deemed to adversely affect the proper performance of his or her work for the Company or which might jeopardize the interests of the Company, including serving as a director, officer, consultant or advisor of another business, without proper consent.

          (g) No Insider shall direct, or seek to direct, any Company business with any business enterprise in which the Insider or his or her Family Member has a meaningful ownership position or serves in a leadership capacity, without proper consent.

6. Inside Information
Securities laws and regulations prohibit the misuse of material non-public (“inside”) information when purchasing, selling or recommending securities.

Inside information obtained by any Insider from any source must be kept strictly confidential. All inside information should be kept secure and access to files and computer files containing such information should be restricted. Insiders shall not use, act upon, or disclose to any third party including, without limitation, any Family Member, any material inside information, except as may be necessary for the Company’s legitimate business purposes to the extent approved, in advance, by the Compliance Officer. Questions and requests for assistance regarding inside information should be promptly directed to the Compliance Officer.

Information is generally considered “material” if (a) there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would find the information important in determining whether to trade in a security, or (b) the information, if made public, would likely affect the market price of a company’s securities. Inside information typically includes, but is not limited to, knowledge of pending Company business transactions, corporate finance activity, mergers or acquisitions, unannounced earnings and financial results and other significant developments affecting the Company.

Insiders and Family Members are prohibited from insider trading (buying or selling securities when in possession of material, nonpublic information) or tipping (passing such information on to someone who may buy or sell securities).

This prohibition on insider trading applies to Company securities and also to the securities of Business Associates if such person learns material, nonpublic information about them as a result of his or her position with the Company.

Information is generally considered “nonpublic” unless it has been adequately disclosed to the public, which means that the information must be publicly disclosed and adequate time must have passed for the securities markets to absorb the information. A delay of two business days is usually considered a sufficient period for routine information to be absorbed by the market. A longer period may be necessary for particularly significant or complex matters.

If an Insider leaves the Company, he or she must maintain the confidentiality of all inside information until it has been adequately disclosed to the public. If there is any question as to whether information regarding the Company or any Business Associate is material or has been adequately disclosed to the public, the Compliance Officer must be contacted.

7. Guarding Corporate Assets
Insiders have a duty to safeguard Company assets, including its physical premises and equipment, records, customer information and Company trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property. Company assets shall be used for Company business only. Without specific authorization, no Insider or Family Member may take, loan, sell, damage or dispose of Company property or use, or allow others to use, Company property for any non-Company purposes.

8. Corporate Books and Records

          (a) Insiders must ensure that all Company documents are completed accurately, truthfully, in a timely manner and properly authorized.

          (b) Financial activities and transactions must be recorded in compliance with all applicable laws and accounting practices and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles designated by the Company. The making of false or misleading entries, records or documentation is strictly prohibited.

          (c) Insiders may never create a false or misleading report under the Company’s name. In addition, no payments or established accounts shall be used for any purpose other than as described by their supporting documentation. No undisclosed funds or assets may be established.

          (d) No Insider may take any action to defraud, influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead any other employee, officer or director, or any outside auditor or lawyer for the Company for the purpose of rendering the books, records or financial statements of the Company incorrect or misleading.

          (e) Errors, or possible errors or misstatements in the Company’s books and records must be brought to the attention of the Compliance Officer promptly upon discovery thereof. The Compliance Officer shall promptly inform the Chief Financial Officer of any such error or misstatement.

          (f) All employees and officers are expected to cooperate fully with the Company’s internal auditors and outside auditors. No employee or officer shall impede or interfere with the financial statement audit process.

9. Document Retention

          (a) The Company seeks to comply fully with all laws and regulations relating to the retention and preservation of records. All Insiders shall comply fully with the Company’s policies regarding the retention and preservation of records. Under no circumstances may Company records be destroyed selectively or maintained outside Company premises or designated storage facilities.

          (b) If the existence of a subpoena or impending government investigation becomes known to an Insider, he or she must immediately contact the Compliance Officer. Insiders must retain all records and documents that may be responsive to a subpoena or pertain to an investigation. Any questions regarding whether a record or document pertains to an investigation or may be responsive to a subpoena should be directed to the Compliance Officer before the record or document is disposed of. Insiders shall strictly adhere to the directions of the Compliance Officer in handling such records or documents.

10. Compliance with Internal Controls and Disclosure Controls

          (a) The Company has adopted a system of internal controls that must be strictly adhered to by all Insiders in providing financial and business transaction information to and within the Company. The internal controls are the backbone of the integrity of the Company’s financial records and financial statements.

                    Each Insider shall promptly report to the Compliance Officer any actual or suspected breaches or violations of the Company’s internal controls that come to the attention of the Insider.

                    Each Insider shall promptly report to the Compliance Officer any actual or suspect fraudulent or questionable transactions or occurrences that come to the attention of the Insider. Potentially fraudulent transactions

4


include, without limitation, embezzlement, forgery or alteration of checks and other documents, theft, misappropriation or conversion to personal use of Company assets, and falsification of records.

                    Each Insider is encouraged to bring to the attention of the Compliance Officer any changes that the Insider believes may improve the Company’s system of internal controls.

          (b) The Company has adopted a system of disclosure controls to assure that all important information regarding the business and prospects of the Company is brought to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The accuracy and timeliness of compliance with those disclosure controls is critical to this system of disclosure controls is critical to enabling those officers to provide the financial statement and periodic report certifications required by Federal law.

                    Each Insider shall strictly adhere to the system of disclosure controls, including the internal reporting responsibilities assigned to him or her by the Company.

                    Each Insider shall promptly report in accordance with Company policy any significant event or occurrence (whether positive or negative) that arises in the course of the Insider’s duties and responsibilities. Events or occurrences include those that affect or may affect the Company or its Business Associates, competitors or industry. General economic conditions need not be reported.

          (c) Each Insider shall be candid in discussing matters concerning internal controls and business disclosures with the Company’s management, internal auditors, outside auditors, outside counsel and directors. Factual information is important. Opinions and observations are strongly encouraged.

11. Implementation of the Code of Ethics
While each Insider is individually responsible for compliance with the Code, he or she does not do so in a vacuum. The Company has the resources, people and processes in place to answer questions and guide Insiders through difficult decisions.

          (a) Compliance Officer Responsibility. The General Counsel has been designated the “Compliance Officer.” The Compliance Officer is responsible for overseeing, interpreting and monitoring compliance with the Code. The Compliance Officer reports periodically to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding all aspects of administering and enforcing of the Code.

          (b) Reporting Violations. If an Insider knows of or suspects a violation of applicable law or regulations, this Code or any of the Company’s other policies, he or she must immediately report that information to the Compliance Officer or to the Board of Directors. No Insider who reports an actual or suspected violation in good faith will be subject to retaliation.

          (c) Investigations of Violations. Reported violations will be promptly investigated and treated confidentially to the extent possible. It is imperative that the person reporting the violation not conduct a preliminary investigation of his or her own. Investigations of alleged violations may involve complex legal issues. Persons who act on their own may compromise the integrity of an investigation and adversely affect both themselves and the Company.

12. Enforcement
The Compliance Officer will take such action he or she deems appropriate with respect to any Insider who violates, or whose Family Member violates, any provision of this Code, and will inform the Board of Directors of the Company of all material violations. Any alleged violation by the Compliance Officer will be presented promptly to the Board of Directors for its consideration and such action as the Board of Directors, in its sole judgment, shall deem warranted.

The Compliance Officer will keep records of all reports created under this Code and of all action taken under this Code. All such records will be maintained in such manner and for such periods as are required under applicable Federal and state law.

5



13. Condition of Employment or Service
All Insiders shall conduct themselves at all times in the best interests of the Company. Compliance with this Code shall be a condition of employment and of continued employment with the Company, and conduct not in accordance with this Code shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action, including termination of employment.

This Code is not an employment contract nor is it intended to be an all exclusive policy statement on the part of the Company. The Company reserves the right to provide the final interpretation of the policies it contains and to revise those policies as deemed necessary or appropriate.

BONGIOVANNI & ASSOCIATES, C.P.A.’s
19720 Jetton Road, 3rd Floor
Cornelius, North Carolina 28031 (USA)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
KAT Exploration Inc., Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Handcamp division of KAT Exploration, Inc. (“The Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 audits 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 audits 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 for the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 Handcamp division of KAT Exploration, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HANDCAMP DIVISION (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATON)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009



 

 

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

Business Activity

 

Handcamp is a division of KAT Exploration, Inc. which constitutes a “business” for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes. KAT Exploration, Inc. is not a mining company, rather it is an exploration company that operates at 1149 Topsail Road, Mount Pearl, NL A1N 5L1. KAT Exploration, Inc. discovers mineral properties and takes the properties out of the ground by later outsourcing the drilling. Handcamp is real estate property located in the South Brook area of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador which is legally owned by the Canadian government. Management believes that there could be an abundance of gold located in this location.

 

 

 

KAT Exploration, Inc. has entered into a Diamond Drilling Contract dated February 24, 2010 in which Cabo Drilling (Atlantic) Corp. will perform certain drilling.

 

 

 

The Handcamp division has not earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the division’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 (“SFAS 7”). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the division’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage operation, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the division’s inception.

 

 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

 

 

The financial statements include the accounts of the Handcamp division under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

 

 

Management’s Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the division considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) - The division adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the division during the period covered in the financial statements.

HANDCAMP DIVISION (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATON)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009



 

 

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the division reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, including those noted above, the division compares the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives. If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the fair values of those assets are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values are recorded as impairments in that fiscal period.

 

 

 

Risk and Uncertainties - The division is subject to risks common to companies in the service industry, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel.

 

 

 

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The division does not incur any direct-response advertising costs.

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - The division has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

 

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

 

 

 

(Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01)

 

 

 

In June 2009, FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), have been superseded by the Codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become nonauthoritative. The Codification did not change GAAP, but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacts the division’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the division’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification during the year ended December 31, 2009.

HANDCAMP DIVISION (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATON)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009



 

 

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont.) - As a result of the division’s implementation of the Codification during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In the current annual consolidated financial statements, the division will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.

 

 

 

Subsequent Events

 

 

 

(Included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events”)

 

 

 

SFAS No. 165 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued (“subsequent events”). An entity is required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. For public entities, this is the date the financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other GAAP and did not result in significant changes in the subsequent events reported by the division. SFAS No. 165 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not impact the division’s financial statements. The division evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the division’s financial statements. No recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted.

 

 

 

Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

 

 

 

(Included in ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, previously FSP SFAS No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets”)

 

 

 

FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amended the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously issued goodwill and intangible assets topics. This change was intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under topics related to business combinations and other GAAP. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 did not impact the division’s financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont.)

 

 

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

(Included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51”)

 

 

 

SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests such that they will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The division implemented SFAS No. 160 at the start of fiscal 2009 and no longer records an intangible asset when the purchase price of a noncontrolling interest exceeds the book value at the time of buyout. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any other material impact on the division’s financial statements.

 

 

 

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — Amended

 

(To be included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)

 

 

 

SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities regarding certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited. The division will adopt SFAS No. 167 in fiscal 2010 and does not anticipate any material impact on the division’s financial statements.

NOTE 3

GOING CONCERN AND UNCERTAINTY

 

 

 

The Handcamp division has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception. In addition, the Handcamp division has yet to generate an internal cash flow from its business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Handcamp division to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new investors to alleviate the division’s working deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The division’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve it liquidity problems and increase profitability in its current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

 

 

NOTE 4

DEVELOPMENT STAGE RISK

 

 

 

Since its inception, the division has been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment to fund its continuing activities. In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the division’s business plan will be successfully executed. Our ability to execute our business plan will depend on our ability to obtain additional financing and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained. Further, we cannot give any assurance that we will generate substantial revenues or that our business operations will prove to be profitable.

 

 

NOTE 5

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

 

 

KAT Exploration, Inc. has entered into a Diamond Drilling Contract dated February 24, 2010 in which Cabo Drilling (Atlantic) Corp. certain drilling at the Handcamp property. The contract covers various rates, which in the opinion of management represent market value rates, for mobilization and demobilization, overburden penetration (pipe and casing), core drilling, surveys and tests, etc. A security deposit of $10,000 is to be made prior to commencement of mobilization according to the contract.

Adjustments to Consolidated (Unaudited) Condensed Pro Forma Statements

June, 2010

A = On May 28, 2010, KAT Gold Holdings Corp. signed a Purchase Agreement to acquire the Handcamp Division from Kat Exploration, Inc. The transaction is accounted for as a reverse purchase acquisition/merger wherein the division is the accounting acquirer and KAT Gold Holdings, Corp. is the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the accounting acquirer records the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and entire equity section of the legal acquirer is eliminated with negative book value acquired offset against the paid in capital of the accounting acquirer.
