Mariposa Resources, Ltd.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

December 31, 2009

(Unaudited)

 



1.

Organization


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


The Company is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties.  Prior to June 25, 2009, the Company had the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A. On July 31, 2009, the Company acquired an option to enter into a joint venture for the management and ownership of the Jack Creek Project, a mining project located in Elko County, Nevada. On September 25, 2009, the joint venture was terminated and the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada (see Note 5).  To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, the raising of equity capital and its mining exploration work program.  


Exploration Stage Company


The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage as defined in FASC 915-10-05 “Development Stage Entity,” and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7.  The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to development of business plans and the acquisition of mineral properties.



2.

Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.  The Company had $1,965 and $132 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.


Start-Up Costs


In accordance with FASC 720-15-20 “Start-up Activities,” the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.

Significant Accounting Policies - Continued


Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs


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


Concentrations of Credit Risk


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


Net Income or (Loss) per Share of Common Stock


The Company has adopted FASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.


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


Foreign Currency Translations


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


No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded from inception (May 31, 2006) to December 31, 2009.

Significant Accounting Policies – Continued


Comprehensive Income (Loss)


FASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  From inception (May 31, 2006) to December 31, 2009, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income.  Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (May 31, 2006) to December 31, 2009.


Risks and Uncertainties


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


Environmental Expenditures


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


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


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


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


FASB Statements:


In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2009-15 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Capital Stock


Authorized Stock


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


Effective April 8, 2009, the Company increased the number of authorized shares to 600,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as common stock par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.


Share Issuances


Effective April 30, 2009, the Company effected a 10 for 1 forward split of its common stock, under which each stockholder of record on that date received ten (10) new shares of the Corporation’s $0.001 par value stock for every one (1) old share outstanding.


Since its inception (May 31, 2006), the Company has issued shares of its common stock as follows, retroactively adjusted to give effect to the 10 for 1 forward split:

Capital Stock - Continued


Of these shares, 30,000,000 were issued to directors and officers of the Company and 17,375,000 were issued to independent investors. There are no preferred shares outstanding.  The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.



4.

Provision for Income Taxes


The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under FASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.


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

inception) through December 31, 2009 of $130,628 will begin to expire in 2026. Accordingly, deferred tax assets of approximately $45,500 were offset by the valuation allowance that increased by approximately $5,000 and $7,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASC 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company has no tax position at December 31, 2009 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2009. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended exploration stage activities.

Mineral Property Costs Continued


As of June 25, 2009, the Company cancelled its agreement with Gold Explorations, LLC. The Company was responsible for maintaining the mineral claims in good standing by paying all the necessary rents, taxes, and filing fees associated with the Property. As of June 25, 2009, the Company met these obligations and no further payments are required.


On September 25, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises, Ltd. (“Beeston”) under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada (the “Claims”), which Claims total in excess of 3,900 hectares, in consideration of the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to Beeston within six months of the date of signing of the agreement. The Claims are subject to a two percent net smelter royalty which can be paid out for the sum of $1,000,000 (CAD).  The Company can earn an undivided 50% interest in the Claims by carrying out a $50,000 (CAD) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before September 25, 2010, plus an additional $200,000 (CAD) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before September 25, 2011.  In the event that the Company acquires an interest in the Claims, the Company and Beeston have further agreed, at the request of either party, to negotiate a joint venture agreement for further exploration and development of the Claims.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not issued any stock or carried out any exploration or development programs.



6.

Due to Related Party


As of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company was obligated to a director, who is also an officer and stockholder, for a non-interest bearing demand loan with a balance of $28,636 and $13,667, respectively.  The Company plans to pay the loan back as cash flows become available.  Interest has not been imputed on these advances due to its immaterial impact on the financial statements.



7.

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As at December 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $31,128 and an accumulated deficit of $130,628.  The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.


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


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


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception.  We have minimal assets and have achieved no operating revenues since our inception.  We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations.  Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations.

Plan of Operation


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2006.  We were formed to engage in the search for mineral deposits or reserves.  We conducted preliminary exploration activities on certain properties in Esmeralda County, Nevada on which we held certain mining claims.  On September 25, 2009, we were granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada, representing 3,900 hectares.


We recently decided to refocus our business strategy towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. We intend to explore various business opportunities that have the potential to generate positive revenue, profits and cash flow in order to financially accommodate the costs of being a publicly held company.


We have minimal operating costs and expenses at the present time due to our limited business activities. However, because of our limited cash in the bank, we will be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our ongoing expenses, including our costs related to the remaining required payments under the Purchase Agreement, as entered into on September 25, 2009.  


Further, we may raise capital in connection with or in anticipation of possible acquisition transactions. We do not currently engage in any product research and development and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We have no present plans to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We also have no present plans to add employees, although we may do so in the future if we engage in any merger or acquisition transactions.
