TUNDRA GOLD CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Tundra Gold Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the name Titan Gold Corp. on September 16, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 25, 2010 the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Tundra Gold Corp. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a going concern basis.
Nature of Operations
The Company has no products or services as of January 31, 2013. The Company was established to operate in the acquisition, exploration, and if warranted and feasible, development of natural resource properties. The Company currently has one mineral exploration property under lease located in Mineral County, Nevada.
Interim Reporting
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of Tundra Gold Corp. and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, has been omitted. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 are not necessary indicative of results for the entire year ending April 30, 2013.
NOTE 2 – ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $285,693 for the period from September 16, 2009 (inception) to January 31, 2013, and has no sales.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to develop its natural resource property and ultimately achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from financing and operations to meet its obligations as they become payable. The Company expects that it will need approximately $64,000 to fund its operations during the next twelve months which will include property lease payments, exploration of its property, costs associated with maintaining an office, and professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with the Company being a reporting issuer under the Securities Act of 1934. The Company has raised a total of $399,000 since inception. The Company currently has sufficient cash to fund its planned operations for the next twelve months. However, in order to continue to develop its property the Company will need to obtain additional financing in the future. Management may seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future. Accordingly, no adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the classification of liabilities has been made to the accompanying financial statements in anticipation of the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
If the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and notes. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the write down of mineral property acquisition costs and accrued liabilities. Management believes the estimates utilized in preparing these financial statements are reasonable and prudent and are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and to date has undertaken the majority of its transactions in U.S. dollars. Any transaction gains and losses that may occur will be included in the statement of operations as they occur.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains all of its cash balances with one financial institution in the form of a demand deposit.

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no outstanding common stock options or warrants.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC 220 (formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company has disclosed this information on its Statement of Operations. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to capital deficit except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. At its inception deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of January 31, 2013.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the year ended April 30, 2012 or for the year ended April 30, 2011. The Company’s policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the year ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liability on the balance sheet. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. Tax years 2009 to present remain open to U.S. Federal income tax examination. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations.
Stock Options
The Company has implemented Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Section 718-10-25 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation) requiring the Company to provide compensation costs for the Company's stock options determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in ASC Section 718-20-25. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.
Property Holding Costs
Holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis are expensed in the period they are incurred. These costs include security and maintenance expenses, lease and claim fees payments, and environmental monitoring and reporting costs.
Exploration and Development Costs
Mineral property interests include optioned, leased, and acquired mineral development and exploration stage properties. The amount capitalized related to a mineral property interest represents its fair value at the time it was optioned or acquired, either as an individual asset or as a part of a business combination. The value of such assets is primarily driven by the nature and amount of mineralized material believed to be contained in such properties. Exploration costs are expensed as incurred and development costs are capitalized if proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially minable property. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mineral interests costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The book values of cash, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
•
|
Level one — inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
•
|
Level two — inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and
|
•
|
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
|
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
NOTE 4 – MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS
Marietta Property
On May 18, 2010, the Company executed a property lease agreement with MinQuest, Inc. (“MinQuest”) whereby the Company leased certain unpatented mineral claims from MinQuest collectively referred to as the Marietta Property (the “Marietta”). The Marietta Property is located in Mineral County, Nevada and currently consists of five unpatented claims. The lease agreement is for a period of 20 years with annual lease payments of $5,000 due on May 15 of each year. There are no minimum annual exploration expenditures required under the agreement. However, any exploration programs undertaken by the Company during the lease period shall carryforward and be credited against any future property option agreement should such a property option agreement be executed between the Company and MinQuest. Upon execution of the Marietta Agreement, the Company paid MinQuest $5,000 as well as reimbursed MinQuest $756 relating to property holding costs. As a result of the Marietta property not containing any known resource, the Company has written down its respective $5,000 property lease payment in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss at January 31, 2013 and 2012.
Under the agreement with MinQuest, all of our payment obligations are non-refundable. If we do not make any payments under the agreement we will lose any payments made and all our rights to the property. MinQuest has retained a 3% royalty of the aggregate proceeds received by the Company from any smelter or other purchaser of any ores, concentrates, metals or other material of commercial value produced from the property, minus the cost of transportation of the ores, concentrates or metals, including related insurance, and smelting and refining charges, including penalties. All of the annual lease payments under the agreement shall be treated as advance royalty payments and will be an offset to the production royalty due until the total amount paid to MinQuest has been recouped.
The Company may use MinQuest for its mineral exploration expertise on the property. Furthermore, both the Company and MinQuest have the right to assign, sell, mortgage or pledge their rights in the agreement or on the property.
The agreement will terminate if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under either agreement and fails to cure such alleged breach. If the Company gives notice that it denies a default has occurred, the matter shall be determined finally through such means of dispute resolution as such matter has been subjected to by either party. The agreement can be terminated by the Company by providing MinQuest with 60 days written notice.
Crescent Fault Property
On August 15, 2012 the Company gave notice of termination to MinQuest pursuant to the terms of the Crescent Fault Property Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated April 4, 2011. The Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2011, had granted the Company the right to acquire 100% of the mining interests of a Nevada mineral exploration property known as the Crescent Fault Property controlled by MinQuest. The Company has determined that the Crescent Fault Property no longer fits with its business parameters.
As a result of such termination, the Crescent Fault Property has been returned to MinQuest and the Company is responsible to pay all claim fees, payments and expenses in order to maintain the property in good standing until August 2013. The Company has paid $5,032 in fees under the termination and has no further obligations on the property.
NOTE 5 – RECLAMATION DEPOSIT
The Company has paid a $10,330 reclamation deposit on its Crescent Fault property. The reclamation deposit is refundable upon completion of the required remediation of the property at the completion of the Company’s planned drill program. As a result of the Company having terminated the Crescent Fault Property Option Agreement (note 4), the Company received a refund of the reclamation deposit.
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the nine months ended January 31, 2013 the Company paid $4,500 (2012 - $4,500) in directors’ fees to one of its directors.

General
We are a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible, exploiting natural resource properties. Our primary focus in the natural resource sector is gold. We do not consider ourselves a “blank check” company required to comply with Rule 419 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, because we were not organized for the purpose of effecting, and our business plan is not to effect, a merger with or acquisition of an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person. We do not intend to merge with or acquire another company in the next 12 months.
Though we have the expertise on our board of directors to take a resource property that hosts a viable ore deposit into mining production, the costs and time frame for doing so are considerable, and the subsequent return on investment for our shareholders would be very long term. We therefore anticipate optioning or selling any ore bodies that we may discover to a major mining company. Many major mining companies obtain their ore reserves through the purchase of ore bodies found by junior exploration companies. Although these major mining companies do some exploration work themselves, many of them rely on the junior resource exploration companies to provide them with future deposits for them to mine. We believe optioning or selling a deposit found by us to these major mining companies, would provide an immediate return to our shareholders without the long time frame and cost of putting a mine into operation ourselves, and would also provide future capital for the Company to continue operations.
The search for valuable natural resources as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the property we have in Nevada contains commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for natural reserves is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing commercially feasible reserves. Problems such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan and any money spent on exploration would be lost.
Natural resource exploration and development requires significant capital and our assets and resources are limited. Therefore, we anticipate participating in the natural resource industry through the purchase or option of early stage properties. Currently, we have one property under lease. We have not yet conducted significant exploration on the property. There has been no indication as yet that any mineral deposits exist on our property, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our property. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined.
In the following discussion, there are references to “unpatented” mining claims. An unpatented mining claim on U.S. government lands establishes a claim to the locatable minerals (also referred to as stakeable minerals) on the land and the right of possession solely for mining purposes. No title to the land passes to the claimant. If a proven economic mineral deposit is developed, provisions of federal mining laws permit owners of unpatented mining claims to patent (to obtain title to) the claim. If you purchase an unpatented mining claim that is later declared invalid by the U.S. government, you could be evicted.
Plan of Operation
During the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2014, our objective is to undertake the initial stages of an exploration program on the Marietta Property. We continue to run our operations with the use of contract operators, and as such do not anticipate a change to our company staffing levels. We remain focused on keeping the staff compliment, which currently consists of our two directors and one officer, at a minimum to conserve capital. We believe outsourcing of necessary operations continues to be the most cost effective and efficient manner of conducting the business of the Company.
We do not anticipate any equipment purchases in the twelve months ending January 31, 2014.
The following is an overview of the project work to date, as well as anticipated work for the next twelve months. Specific dates when work will begin, and how long it will take to complete each step is subject to change due to the variables of weather, availability of work crews for a particular type of work, and the results of work that is planned, the outcome of which will determine what the next step on that project will be.
Marietta Property
MinQuest has provided a work plan that included scanning all currently available data, georeferencing all maps in order to digitize drill hole locations, geology and geochemistry. A spread sheet of drill hole information has been compiled from the known historical drilling. All drill hole coordinates, drill hole assays, oxidation boundaries and lithology have been entered into a spread sheet allowing the development of cross-sections in electronic form using industry software. While the initial work on the Marietta has been completed, the Company had been focusing on the Crescent Fault Property that resulted in a reduction in work being done on the Marietta Property. The Company is now working with MinQuest to re-start the exploration program on the Marietta.
Crescent Fault Property
On August 15, 2012 the Company gave notice of termination to MinQuest pursuant to the terms of the Crescent Fault Property Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated April 4, 2011. The Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2011, had granted the Company the right to acquire 100% of the mining interests of a Nevada mineral exploration property known as the Crescent Fault Property controlled by MinQuest. The Company has determined that the Crescent Fault Property no longer fits with its business parameters.
As a result of such termination, the Crescent Fault Property has been returned to MinQuest and the Company is responsible to pay all claim fees, payments and expenses in order to maintain the property in good standing until August 2013. The Company has paid $5,032 in fees under the termination and has no further obligations on the property.
The Company has paid a $10,330 reclamation deposit on its Crescent Fault property. The reclamation deposit is refundable upon completion of the required remediation of the property at the completion of the Company’s planned drill program. As a result of the Company having terminated the Crescent Fault Property Option Agreement the Company has received a refund of the reclamation deposit.
Results of Operations
We did not earn any revenues during the three or nine months ended January 31, 2013 or January 31, 2012. The Company is in the exploration stage and we will be in the exploration stage of our business for an extended period of time. As a result we do not anticipate earning revenues until we have developed an exploration property. We can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our property, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral property.
For the three-months ended January 31, 2013 we had a net loss of $18,583 compared to a net loss of $22,149 for the three-months ended January 31, 2012. The decrease in the net loss was due to the Company incurring $0 in mineral property exploration expenses in the three-months ended January 31, 2013 compared to $3,300 in the three-months ended January 31, 2012. During the three months ended January 31, 2012 the Company incurred expenses relating to the archeological survey and mapping of its Crescent Fault Property. General and administrative expenses were $18,583 for the three months ended January 31, 2013 compared to $18,849 for January 31, 2012.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2013 we had a net loss of $63,007 compared to a net loss of $90,084 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The decrease in the net loss was largely due to the Company incurring $5,850 in mineral property exploration expenses in the nine months ended January 31, 2013 compared to $31,302 in the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The primary mineral property exploration expenditures incurred during the nine months ended January 31, 2013 was in relation to termination costs on the Crescent Fault property. During the nine months ended January 31, 2012 the Company incurred expenses relating to the archeological survey and mapping of its Crescent Fault Property. General and administrative expenses were $52,157 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 compared to $53,782 for the same period in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $107,682 and working capital of $113,307 as of January 31, 2013. We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:
·
|
$5,000 in connection with property lease payments under the Company’s Marietta property agreement;
|
·
|
$11,000 in property exploration expenses and claim payments in order to meet the requirements of the Company’s property lease agreement;
|
·
|
$48,000 for operating expenses, including working capital and general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated with reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
|
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2013 was $63,585 compared to $88,476 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The cash used in operating activities decreased partly due to a decrease in the net loss to $63,007 in 2013 compared to $90,084 in 2012. The impact of the lower net loss was partially offset by cash flows from changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. For the nine months ended January 31, 2013 there was an outflow of $3,695 compared to an inflow of $78 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. For the nine months ended January 31, 2013, cash received from financing activities was $0 compared to $100,000 in the nine months ended January 31, 2012 which was received from the collection of subscriptions receivable. Investing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 consisted of $5,000 related to the annual Marietta property lease payment and $10,300 received from the refund of the reclamation bond on the Crescent Fault Property. Investing activities for the same period in 2012 consisted of $5,000 related to the annual Marietta property lease payment and the payment of $10,330 for the Crescent Fault bond.
Current cash on hand is sufficient for all of the Company’s commitments for the next twelve months. However, the Company will need additional funding to explore and develop its property in the future. We anticipate that the additional funding that we require will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund additional phases of the exploration program, should we decide to proceed. We currently believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding any further phases in our exploration program. The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by many banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as an economically viable mine can be demonstrated. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
We cannot be certain that the required additional financing will be available or available on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity securities, such as through the issuance and exercise of warrants, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of the then existing holders of common stock. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund expansion, develop or enhance services or respond to competitive pressures or continue our operations.
Going Concern Consideration
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $285,693 for the period from September 16, 2009 (inception) to January 31, 2013, and has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral property. Management may in the future seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the April 30, 2012 financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
