Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements and information that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. Such statements should not be unduly relied upon. When used in this report, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions, as well as statements regarding new and existing products, technologies and opportunities, statements regarding market and industry segment growth and demand and acceptance of new and existing products, any projections of sales, earnings, revenue, margins or other financial items, any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, uncertainties related to conducting business, any statements of belief or intention, and any statements or assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements reflect our current view concerning future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. There are important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected, including, but not limited to: competition in the industry in which we operate and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins, volatility in the securities market due to the general economic downturn; Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regulations which affect trading in the securities of “penny stocks,” and other risks and uncertainties. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward- looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Depending on the market for our stock and other conditional tests, a specific safe harbor under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 may be available. Notwithstanding the above, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) expressly state that the safe harbor for forward-looking statements does not apply to companies that issue penny stock. Because we may from time to time be considered to be an issuer of penny stock, the safe harbor for forward-looking statements may not apply to us at certain times.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of December 31, 2012, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s March 31, 2012 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On November 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Great Northern Energy, Inc. (“GNE”) to acquire a substantial non-operating working interest in oil assets in East Texas in consideration for a purchase price that includes (a) a cash payment of $3,900,000 in the form of (i) a deposit of $100,000; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000; and (iii) a promissory note in the amount of $2,700,000 and (b) 6,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had transferred a total of $600,000 to GNE towards the purchase of the oil and gas properties, but the agreement had not been consummated. The advance was recorded as a long-term deposit on the balance sheet.
On January 30, 2013, the Company put forth a signed Letter of Addendum (the “Addendum”) to GNE; which shall modify the Agreement. The Board of Directors approved the Addendum and the transactions contemplated thereby via unanimous written consent on January 30, 2013, with an effective date of February 5, 2013. GNE and the Company signed the Addendum and the Company has issued the shares required under the Addendum to GNE. However, the Company has not yet made the payments required as of the date of this filing under the Addendum. The parties continue to negotiate the terms of the transaction with GNE and therefore there can be no assurance that the acquisition contemplated by the Agreement will occur. Pursuant to the current Addendum, the Agreement shall be modified as follows:
1. | The Effective Date shall be deemed to have occurred on January 25, 2013, the Termination Date for the Closing of the transfer of the Assets from GNE to the Company shall be extended to no later than March 31, 2013. |
2. | The Company shall issue GNE a new promissory note in the amount of $1,113,260 in exchange for the promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000 issued to GNE on November 15, 2012. The new promissory note shall be repayable commencing on February 15, 2013 and continuing in the increments on the dates set forth below until paid in full, bears interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, and includes additional fees in the total amount of $145,958.30 on the following schedule: |
February 15, 2013 | $ | 436,154.68 | Principal, Interest and Additional Fees | |||||
June 15, 2013 | $ | 290,196.38 | Principal and Interest | |||||
September 15, 2013 | $ | 290,196.38 | Principal and Interest | |||||
December 15, 2013 | $ | 290,196.38 | Principal and Interest | |||||
3. | The date for the payment of $1,200,000 under the $2,700,000 promissory note shall be extended from December 1, 2012, to January 25, 2013, which $600,000 has been paid. |
4. | The Company shall issue GNE an additional 900,000 shares of its restricted common stock, increasing the total amount of shares due under the Agreement to 7,400,000 (the "Agreement Shares"). All of the Agreement Shares were issued to GNE. |
5. | The amount of minimum working capital to be maintained by the Company shall be reduced from $1,400,000 to $150,000. |
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Professional Services
In September 2012, the Company entered into a professional services contract with Fidare Consulting Group, LLC (“Fidare”) to provide consulting services relating to corporate governance, accounting procedures and controls and strategic planning. The managing member and principle owner of Fidare is a major stockholder in RF Colorado Ventures, the Company's principle stockholder. In accordance with the terms of the original contract, Fidare receives monthly compensation of 20,000 common shares per month and warrants to purchase 20,000 common shares with an exercise price equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, plus reasonable and necessary expenses. The warrants are exercisable at any time for two years from the date of issuance and may be settled on a net basis. In December 2012, the contract was amended to provide for monthly compensation of $20,000 per month plus warrants to purchase 20,000 common shares on the same terms described above. As of December 31, 2012, 100,000 shares had been issued to Fidare.
The fair value of each warrant granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities from the historical trading ranges of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted is estimated at the contractual term as noted in the individual option agreements and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the options. The key assumptions used in evaluating the warrants and the estimated fair value are as follows:
September 30, 2012 grant date | October 31, 2012 grant date | November 30, 2012 grant date | December 31, 2012 grant date | Total | ||||||||||||||||
Expected volatility | 91 | % | 104 | % | 142 | % | 146 | % | ||||||||||||
Expected dividends | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||||||||||||||||

In December 2012, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with IntreOrg Systems, Inc. (“IntreOrg”) to provide third party data aggregation and surveillance of share ownership, purchases, sales and custody by individuals, institutions, broker-dealers, clearing agents, and custodians for a period of one year commencing on December 31, 2012. The principle owner of IntreOrg is a major stockholder in RF Colorado Ventures, the Company's principle stockholder. The annual subscription service is $30,000 plus a one-time set-up fee of $2,500. In accordance with the terms of the contract, the company paid an initial amount of $17,500 with the remainder due on January 31, 2013, which has not yet been paid.
Advances and notes payable
On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement with a shareholder whereby the Company borrowed $10,000 from the shareholder (the “Albury Note”). The Albury Note was payable in 60 days with interest at 6% per annum. In accordance with the terms of the note agreement, the Company agreed to issue 25,000 shares of unregistered common stock to the shareholder. The note was paid in full in December 2012. The shares of unregistered common stock had a fair value of approximately $25,250 as of November 1, 2012, which was recorded as additional interest expense over the 60 day term of the note. As of December 31, 2012, all of the 25,000 shares were issued to Albury.
Also on November 1, 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement with another shareholder, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $100,000 from the shareholder which was payable in 60 days with interest at 6% per annum (the “Hadley Note”). Proceeds from the Hadley Note were paid directly to GNE as a deposit to purchase certain oil and gas assets (see Note 3). The Hadley Note was payable in 60 days with interest at 6% per annum. In accordance with the terms of the note, the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of unregistered common stock to the shareholder. The note has not been repaid and is currently past due. The shares of unregistered common stock had a fair value of approximately $252,500 as of November 1, 2012, which was recorded as additional interest expense over the 60 day term of the note. As of December 31, 2012, all 250,000 shares were issued to Hadley.
On November 28, 2012, the CE McMillan Family Trust advanced the Company $100 to facilitate the opening of a new bank account in Irving, Texas. The trustee of the CE McMillan Family Trust is a relative of a principle shareholder of RF Colorado Ventures. The advance had not been repaid as of December 31, 2012.
NOTE 4 – SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In December 2012, the Board of directors authorized the offering for sale and issuance of up to a maximum of 3,000,000 Shares of our Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Stated Value of the Preferred Stock is $5.00 per Share (the “Stated Value”). Each Share of Preferred Stock bears an eight percent (8%) cumulative dividend (the “Dividend”), due and payable quarterly as of July 31, October 31, January 31 and April 31. Each Share may be converted by the holder thereof, at any time, into one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and one warrant exercisable at $6.50 per share into one share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The Company may force conversion to Common Stock and one Warrant if the Company’s Common Stock trades over $7.00 for forty-five consecutive trading days. The Preferred Stock is currently being offered to certain high net worth individuals and accredited investors in a private offering. As of December 31, 2012, the company received proceeds of $785,000 for subscriptions to purchase 157,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Subsequent to year end, the Company received an additional $25,000 in proceeds for subscriptions to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of February 14, 2013, none of the Preferred Stock had been issued.
Item 2. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2012, and for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph, that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
General
Rangeford Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development stage company that was incorporated on December 4, 2007, in the state of Nevada. The Company has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. The fiscal year end is March 31st. The Company has not had revenues from operations since its inception and/or any interim period in the current fiscal year.
In August 2012, RF Colorado Ventures, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, acquired 9.9 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing approximately 98% of the total issued and outstanding shares. The Company entered into various consulting agreements to manage the affairs of the company, including corporate governance, accounting procedures and controls and strategic planning. Many of the agreements were with entities related to the principle owners of RF Colorado Ventures, LLC. (See Note 4).
Purchase and Sale Agreement
On January 30, 2013, the Company put forth a signed Letter of Addendum (the “Addendum”) to the Purchase and Sale Agreement the Company entered into with GNE in November 2012. The Board of Directors approved the Addendum and the transactions contemplated thereby via unanimous written consent on January 30, 2013, with an effective date of February 5, 2013. GNE and the Company signed the Addendum and the Company issued the shares required there under. However, the Company has not yet made the payments required as of the date of this filing under the Addendum. The parties continue to negotiate the terms of the transaction with GNE and therefore there can be no assurance that the acquisition contemplated by the Agreement will occur.
In order to fund the cash requirements under the GNE agreement, the Company will have to raise a significant amount of capital. From the date of inception (December 4, 2007) to December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded a net loss of $833,537 which were expenses relating to the initial development of the Company, filing its Registration Statement on Form S-1, expenses relating to maintaining its reporting company status with the SEC and during the last three month period, the Company’s activities in securing consulting services and general and administrative expenses incurred to raise additional equity and negotiate the GNE transaction. In order to complete the GNE transaction and to survive as a going concern over the Company will require additional capital investments or borrowed funds to meet cash flow projections and carry forward our business objectives. There can be no guarantee or assurance that we can raise adequate capital from outside sources to fund the proposed business. Failure to secure additional financing would result in cancellation of the GNE transaction and business failure and a complete loss of any investment made into the Company.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized a net loss of $903,237 compared to a net loss of $5,370 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of $897,867 was the result of the Company’s increase in operational expenses and interest charges.
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred $400 in investor relations expenses as compared to none in the comparable period in the prior year as the Company commenced a more active role in communicating the Company’s activities to shareholders.

The professional fees were primarily related to legal, accounting, management and board fees resulting from the GNE agreement, the Preferred Stock issuance and corporate governance. Professional fees- related party related to the professional services contract with Fidare Consulting Group, LLC (“Fidare”) to provide consulting services relating to corporate governance, accounting procedures and controls and strategic planning in the amount of $399,600. Approximately $40,000 was paid in cash, $180,800 was paid in common stock and the remainder was paid in the form of warrants to purchase common stock (see note 4).
General and administrative expenses increased $7,437 to $8,142 primarily relating to increase in common stock transfer fees, quote fees for the Company’s common stock and meals and entertainment associated with the Company’s increased activities.
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred $281,050 in interest expense as compared to none in the prior year period. During the current year period, the Company entered into two note agreements with shareholders. The notes bore interest at 6%. As an incentive to enter into the note agreements the Company agreed to issue to the stockholders a total of 275,000 shares of common stock with an approximate value of $277,750, which was amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the notes (see note 4).

During the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company received loans from two of its shareholders totaling $110,000 to fund working capital and the advance to GNE of $100,000.
Private offering of Preferred Shares
In December 2012, the Board of directors authorized the offering for sale and issuance of up to a maximum of 3,000,000 Shares of our Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Stated Value of the Preferred Stock is $5.00 per Share (the “Stated Value”). Each Share of Preferred Stock bears an eight percent (8%) cumulative dividend (the “Dividend”), due and payable quarterly as of July 31, October 31, January 31 and April 31. Each Share may be converted by the holder thereof, at any time, into one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and one warrant exercisable at $6.50 per share into one share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The Company may force conversion to Common Stock and one Warrant if the Company’s Common Stock trades over $7.00 for forty-five consecutive trading days. The Preferred Stock is currently being offered to certain high net worth individuals and accredited investors in a private offering. As of December 31, 2012, the company had received proceeds of $785,000 for subscriptions to 157,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Subsequent to year end, the company received an additional $25,000 in proceeds for subscriptions to an additional 5,000 Preferred Stock. As of February 14, 2013, none of the Preferred Stock had been issued.
Short Term.
On a short-term basis, we have not generated any revenue or revenues sufficient to cover operations. Based on prior history, we will continue to have insufficient revenue to satisfy current and recurring liabilities and the Company will need to raise significant additional capital.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company will need to raise an additional $5,309,218 in funding to fully comply with the terms of the revised GNE agreement of which $1,636,155 is due and payable immediately.
The Company is making every effort to sell at least a sufficient amount of Preferred Stock to meet the capital requirements of the GNE agreement and for general corporate purposes. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its attempt to sell the preferred shares.
Critical Accounting Policies
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at June 30, 2012 and 2011.
FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the fact that the Company only has one director and executive officer dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a significant deficiency in the internal controls. Management has decided that considering the officer/director involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management plans to re-evaluate this situation periodically. In light of the Company’s current cash flow situation, the Company does not intend to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 7, 2012, several former shareholders of Sun River Energy, Inc. (“Sun River”) filed a derivative action against Sun River and its management in a case now styled Colin Richardson, et al., derivatively on behalf of Sun River Energy, Inc. v. Sun River Energy, Inc. v. Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., et al., Cause No. DC-12-06318, in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas. On January 24, 2013, the Court found the Plaintiffs in the case had shown a probable right to the relief sougt at final hearing and a likelihood of success on the claims of breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent transfer and certain defamation claims, and entered a temporary injunction against Sun River and its management. The temporary injunction prevents the Company from any performance, claims of default, payments, transfer or other actions with respect to certain Notes and Mortgages; any payments on those Notes based on alleged past due compensation; entry into contracts by Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. to lease, purchase, or sell Sun River’s interest in its hard rock minerals, coal, oil, timber, gas and or other minerals, and any and all issuances of stock or any other compensation, payments, bonuses, gifts or other transfers outside of normal payment activity. On February 7, 2013, Defendants Schmidt et al. filed an Amended Answer, Special Exception, Counterclaim and Original Third Party Petition that asserts claims against the Company for breach contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of confidential information, conversion, constructive trust and conspiracy. The Company believes the claims are completely without merit.
