FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS: NO ASSURANCES INTENDED
This
Report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding Tintic Gold Mining
Company, its business and financial prospects. These statements
represent Management’s best estimate of what will
happen. Nevertheless, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that
could cause our actual results to differ dramatically from the results suggested
in this Report. Among the more significant risks are:
|
·
|
We
have no business operations and have no assets. Unless the Company obtains
additional capital or acquires an operating company, the Company will not
be able to undertake significant business
activities.
|
|
·
|
The
Company’s business plan contemplates that it will acquire an operating
company in exchange for the majority of its common stock. If
that occurs, management will determine the nature of the company that is
acquired, which is likely to be a company with which management has a
pre-existing relationship. Investors in the Company will have
to rely on the business acumen of management in determining that the
acquisition is in the best interest of the Company. If
management lacks sufficient skill to operate successfully, the Company’s
shares may lose value.
|
Because
these and other risks may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from
those anticipated by Management, the reader should not place undue reliance on
any forward-looking statements that appear in this Report.
PART 1
Item
1. Business
Until
February 8, 2010, the Company was the owner of the subsurface mineral rights on
approximately 44 acres of land located in the Tintic Mining District of Juab
County, Utah, near the town of Mammoth, Utah. Since it was formed in
March 2004 and acquired the mineral claims, the Company had been unable to
attract any interest from investors in its mining claims. Prior management
believed that this has been due to a number of factors, including the fact that
the land ownership in the Tintic Mining District was very fragmented, meaning
that ownership is held in the names of numerous corporations and individuals,
many possibly having conflicting ownership rights and interests. For
this reason, at the end of 2009, management determined that the Company should
abandon its mining business and pursue other opportunities. On
December 17, 2009, therefore, a new majority owner took control of the
Company. In connection with that change of control, the Company
agreed to transfer its mining claims to its previous majority shareholders in
satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company to them. On February
8, 2010 the mining claims were so transferred. The Company is currently a shell
company.
For some period of time the Company has
been exploring business opportunities that would involve the use of the Company
as a shell in a reverse merger transaction, in which an operating company would
be merged into Tintic Gold Mining Company in exchange for a majority
of our capital stock. We continue to explore business opportunities,
particularly businesses with which our Chairman, Ding Lieping, has
experience. The business that we ultimately pursue will be determined
by Mr. Ding, who is the sole member of our board of directors. His
decision will be based on the prospects for the business, the availability of
capital to fund the business, and the potential benefits of the business to the
shareholders of Tintic Gold Mining Company.

Employees

currently have no employees. The need for employees and their availability will

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Results
of Operations
We currently have no assets and no
operations. During the 2009 fiscal year, which ended on December 31,
2009, we realized no revenue and incurred $22,203 in operating
expenses. Prior to December 17, 2009, when majority ownership of our
company was transferred to Ding Lieping, we had accounts payable, most of which
were owed to the prior controlling shareholders of the Company, some of whom
served as our management until December 17, 2009. Those individuals
have waived all of the Company’s obligations to them in connection with the
transfer of control to Ding Lieping. Therefore at December 31, 2009
we have no liabilities.
Since December 17, 2009, Mr. Ding has
financed our operations. We expect that Mr. Ding will continue to
fund our operations until we have completed an acquisition of an operating
company, and that we will, therefore, have sufficient cash to maintain our
existence as a shell company for the next twelve months, if
necessary. Our management is not required to fund our operations,
however, by any contract or other obligation.
4
Our major expenses consisted of fees to lawyers
and accountants necessary to maintain our standing as a fully-reporting public
company and other administration expenses attendant to the
trading of our common stock. We do not expect the level of our
operating expenses to change in the future until we again undertake to implement
a business plan or effect an acquisition.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2009 we had no working
capital, due to the fact that we had no assets and no
liabilities. Prior to December 31, 2009, our payables were due to the
controlling shareholders of the Company, some of whom served as management of
the Company and one of whom served as legal counsel to the
Company. On December 17, 2009, in connection with their sale of
control, all of the company’s cash was used to satisfy accounts payable, and the
prior controlling shareholders waived any remaining amounts owed to
them. Since December 17, 2009, when Ding Lieping obtained the control of
our company, Ding Lieping has paid our expenses as we incur them.
Our operations consumed $12,364 in cash
during 2009, as our management paid our ongoing expenses, increasing our amounts
due to related parties. Those advances were waived at the end of the
year. In the future, unless we achieve the financial and/or
operational wherewithal to sustain our operations, it is likely that we will
continue to rely on loans and capital contributions to sustain our
operations.
To date we have supplied our cash needs
by obtaining loans from management and shareholders. We expect that
our President will fund our operations until we have completed an acquisition of
an operating company and that we will, therefore, have sufficient cash to
maintain our existence as a shell company for the next twelve months, if
necessary.
Application
of Critical Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the
assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can
also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures
including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We
believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to
GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to
monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to our financial
statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial
condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies
as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the
most significant impact on the Company’s financial statements
and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Among
our critical policies is the determination, described in Note 6 to our financial
statements that the Company should record a valuation allowance for the full
value of the deferred tax asset created by the net operating loss
carryforward. The primary reason for the determination was the lack
of certainty as to whether the Company will carry on profitable operations in
the future.
5
Actual
results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given
current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other
reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause any effects on our
results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented
in this report.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any
off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.,
Impact of Accounting
Pronouncements
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. 2010-11 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.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors
Tintic
Gold Mining Company
Minhang,
Shanghai
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tintic Gold Mining Company [an exploration stage company]
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the period from the inception of
the exploration stage on December 31, 1997 through December 31, 2009. Tintic
Gold Mining Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements.
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 audit 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 audit 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 of 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, 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 Tintic Gold Mining Company as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the
period from inception of exploration stage on December 31, 1997 through December
31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Tintic Gold Mining
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the
financial statements, Tintic Gold Mining Company has incurred losses since its
inception and has not yet established profitable operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are
also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

NOTE
1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
History and Nature of Business -
Tintic Gold Mining Company (“the Company”) was organized under the laws
of the State of Nevada on March 8, 2004 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tintic
Gold Mining Company (“Parent”), a Utah corporation, (now known as KIWA Bio-Tech
Products Group Corporation). The Company was founded for the purpose
of continuing the exploration of the mining claims of its former
Parent. On March 12, 2004 as part of an acquisition agreement, Parent
acquired KIWA Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation (“KIWA”).
Following
the organization of the Company, Parent transferred all of its mining claims to
the Company in exchange for 1,009,643 shares of the Company’s common stock. The
mining claims were transferred because KIWA, the successor to Parent and being
in a substantially different business, did not want to own, manage or be
responsible for mining claims. Accordingly, as part of Parent’s
merger transaction with KIWA, the Company and Parent separately entered into a
Distribution Agreement which obligated the Company to file a registration
statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) and
when that registration statement became effective, the Company would distribute
the 1,009,643 shares, then-issued and outstanding, to the pre-KIWA shareholders
of Parent on a pro-rata basis. This is called a “spin-off”
transaction. The Company filed such registration statement and on
October 18, 2006, the Commission declared it effective. In November
2006, the Company’s stock transfer agent distributed the shares. The
mining claims include three patented mining claims known as the Emerald, the
Ruby and Diamond Lode Mining Claims located in the central portion of the Tintic
Mining District, Juab County, Utah.
Tintic
Gold Mining Company ("Parent") was incorporated in the State of Utah on June 14,
1933. Parent was incorporated for the purpose of mining, milling, ore
reducing, and smelting. At the time of its incorporation, Parent acquired
certain patented mining claims from the Emerald Mining Company, which mining
claims the Company owned until February 2, 2010. These mining claims
are located in the Tintic Mining District of Juab County, Utah. Prior to
December 31, 1997, the Parent was dormant.
Quasi-Reorganization. On
June 21, 2001, a majority of the shareholders of Parent approved a
quasi-reorganization of Parent, retroactive to December 31, 1997. On June 21,
2001, the Parent amended its articles of incorporation to reduce the par value
per share from $0.10 to $0.001. As a result of the quasi-reorganization, the
common stock of Parent was written down to its par value of $0.001 per share,
the accumulated deficit of $191,797 was eliminated, and additional paid-in
capital was adjusted to reflect the difference between the historical cost of
existing assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1997.
Financial Statement Presentation.
The accompanying financial statements include the prior operations of
Parent from its inception of exploration stage activities on December 31, 1997
through the spin-off of the Company, and include the accounts of the Company
from its date of incorporation to the date of the financial
statements.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Continued]
Exploration
Stage. As of December 31, 2009, the Company is considered to
be an Exploration Stage Company. However, the Company did not have
any current mining exploration, development or production activities on its
existing properties. After transferring its mining assets to its
prior majority shareholders in February 2010, the Company became a development
stage company.
Stock-Based
Compensation. Compensation or services that are received
in exchange for the issuance of common stock is recognized based on the fair
value of the services received or the fair value of the common stock issued,
which ever is more reliably measured.
Cash and Cash Equivalents -
The Company considers all highly-liquid debt investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Mining Properties -
Pre-operating and mine development costs including acquisition costs
relating to mining properties are capitalized until such properties are placed
in production, disposed of, or abandoned. The Company periodically
reviews its mining property for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic No. 410,
“Property, Plant and Equipment”.
Income Taxes - The Company
accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for
Income Taxes” [See
Note 6].
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income
Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of ASC
Topic No. 740, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability
for unrecognized tax benefits.
The
Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2009 and 2008 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. During the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized no interest and
penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at
December 31, 2009, and 2008.
Loss Per Share - The
computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with ASC Topic No.
260, “Earnings Per Share” [See
Note 7].
Accounting 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, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimated.

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Continued]
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
- 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. 2010-11 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.
NOTE
2 - MINING CLAIMS
At the
time of organization, the Company acquired certain patented mining claims from
Parent which were recorded at the carryover basis of $0 [See Note 3]. The
mining claims are located in the Tintic Mining District of Juab County,
Utah. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any current
mining exploration, development, or production activities on its existing
properties.
As a part
of the change in control of the Company on November 30, 2009 [See Note 9] and in
consideration of the waiver of debt owed by the Company to the previous
controlling shareholders (shareholders), the Company agreed to a put and call
agreement wherein the shareholders were given an irrevocable option to acquire
the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the mining
claims. The shareholders also granted to the Company an irrevocable
option to require the shareholders to accept title to the mining claims at any
time during the option period. The Company exercised the option on
February 8, 2010, and transferred all of its mining assets to the previous
controlling shareholders.
NOTE

Common Stock - The Company has
authorized 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of
$.001.

NOTE
3 - CAPITAL STOCK (Continued)
In
conjunction with the change in control [see Note 9] in December 2009 the Company
exchanged common stock purchase warrants in exchange for 270,584 shares of the
Company’s common stock, which shares are being held as treasury
shares. The common stock purchase warrants allow the holders to
acquire 0.4% of the outstanding common stock of the Company within two years
from the date of issuance of said purchase warrants. The warrants
were valued at $.20 per share given up or $54,117.
In
November 2006 the Company issued 600,000 shares of common stock. The
shares were issued for cash of $30,000, or $.05 per share.
In 2004
the Company issued a total of 1,509,643 shares of common stock of which 500,000
shares were issued for cash of $25,000, or $.05 per share and 1,009,643 shares
were issued for mining claims of Parent valued at carryover basis of
$0.
NOTE
4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Advances – Prior
to November 30, 2009 officers and shareholders of the Company advanced the
Company a total of $24,346. At November 30, 2009, the shareholders
forgave all advances thru that date of $24,346. The advances bore no
interest and were due on demand. Due to the related party nature of
the debt the Company recorded the forgiveness as a contribution to
capital.
Accrued Liabilities - A
shareholder of the Company performed legal services for a total of $33,975 which
was accrued for on the Company’s books. At November 30, 2009 the
shareholder forgave all amounts accrued. Due to the related party
nature of the debt the Company recorded the forgiveness as a contribution to
capital.
Management Compensation - For
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not pay any
compensation to any officer or director of the Company.
Office Space - The Company has
not had a need to rent office space. Until December 17, 2009, an
officer of the Company was allowing the Company to use his address, as needed,
at no expense to the Company.
NOTE
5 - GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However,
the Company has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations
and, as of December 31, 2009, the Company had no assets.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any
necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through
additional sales of its common stock or through a possible business
combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be
successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable
operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

NOTE
6 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Income
Taxes.” ASC Topic No. 740, requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax
asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary
reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available
operating loss or tax credit carryforwards.
The
Company has available at December 31, 2009 an unused operating loss carryforward
of approximately $113,300 which may be applied against future taxable income and
which expires in 2029. The amount of and ultimate realization of the
benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is
dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the
Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be
determined. Due to a change in control of the Company in December
2009, the annual amount of the NOL that can be applied against future earnings
is limited. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of
the net deferred tax assets, the Company has established a valuation allowance
equal to their tax effect and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been
recognized. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $17,000 and
$13,700 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, with an offsetting valuation allowance
of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the
year ended December 31, 2009 is approximately $3,300.

8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Former Officer – During 1980,
a former president of Parent entered into an agreement with Parent whereby he
settled a note due from Parent and relinquished his direct control of
Parent. Among other consideration, Parent conveyed to the former
president a 3% net smelter return on any ores sold from its historical patented
mining claims held, plus surface rights. Parent retained rights to
enter and exit the property for exploration and mining activity. In
March 2004, the Company issued 1,009,643 shares of common stock for the mining
claims of Parent [See Note 2].
Environmental – In 2002 the
Utah Department of Environmental Quality conducted soil sampling in the town of
Mammoth, Utah, in an area adjacent to the Company’s mining
claims. Those samples indicate elevated contaminated metals
levels. The nearby Mammoth mine had significant workings and
production in the past, while the Company’s properties have only had a small
amount of ore produced. The source of the elevated contaminants is
unclear. No claims have been made against the Company nor has anyone
asserted that the Company is a responsible party. The Environmental Protection
Agency has listed Eureka, Utah, as a “superfund” clean-up site. While
the Company’s properties are in the same overall mining district as Eureka,
Utah, the Company does not expect the Eureka, Utah, superfund cleanup project
will expand to include either the Mammoth area or the Company’s
properties. The Company is not aware of any state or federal agency’s
plan or intention to do any environmental cleanup or other work to or with any
property located in or near Mammoth or the Company’s properties.
NOTE
9 – CHANGE IN CONTROL
On
November 30, 2009, four holders of the Company’s common stock [George
Christopulos, Hugh Coltharp, Jack Coombs and John Michael Coombs: collectively
the “Selling Shareholders”] entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Ding
Lieping. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, on
December 17, 2009, the Selling Shareholders sold to Mr. Ding 1,400,000 shares of
common stock of the Company for $280,000. At the time of the stock
sale, the Selling Shareholders surrendered to the Company 270,584 common shares
and received in exchange for those shares warrants that they can exchange during
the next two years to acquire 0.4% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company. After that exchange, the 1,400,000 shares purchased by Ding
Lieping represented 76% of the Company’s outstanding stock.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, on December 17, 2009 Ding Lieping
was elected to serve as sole member of the board of directors and George
Christopulos, Hugh Coltharp and Jack Coombs resigned as members of said board.
Ding Lieping was also appointed by the board of directors to serve as Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Item
8A. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Pursuant
to Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, “disclosure controls and procedures”
means controls and other procedures that are designed to insure that information
required to be disclosed by Tintic Gold Mining Company in the reports that it
files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the Commission’s
rules. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information Tintic
Gold Mining Company is required to disclose in the reports it files with the
Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Based on his evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Tintic Gold Mining Company’s
system of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of December 31,
2009 for the purposes described in this paragraph.
Changes in Internal
Controls. There was no change in internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation
described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during Tintic Gold Mining
Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably
likely to materially affect Tintic Gold Mining Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness
of those internal controls as of December 31, 2009, using the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control –
Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because
of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined
to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
21
A
material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or
combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s
ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial
data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the
course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over
financial reporting, we identified three material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses consisted
of:
a. Inadequate staffing and supervision
within the bookkeeping operations of our company. There is
only one individual who is responsible for bookkeeping
functions. This prevents us from segregating duties within our
internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a
weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of
accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely
and effective reviews.
b. Outsourcing the accounting
operations of our company. Because there is only one employee
in our administration, we outsource most of the accounting functions of our
Company to an independent accountant. This accountant is
self-directed, and is not answerable to the Company’s
management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a
disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors
and the accounting practices applied by the accountant.
c. Lack of independent control over
related party transactions. Ding Lieping is the sole director
and sole officer of Tintic Gold Mining Company, Inc. From time to
time Mr. Ding will made loans or capital contributions to finance the operations
of the Company. The absence of other directors or officers to review
these transactions is a weakness because it could lead to improper
classification of such related party transactions.
Management
does not believe that the current level of the Company’s operations warrants a
remediation of the weaknesses identified in this assessment. However,
because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31,
2009.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.

University of Costa Rica in 2009.
Audit
Committee
The Board of Directors has not
appointed an Audit Committee. The functions that would be performed
by an Audit Committee are performed by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” because
there is only one Board member.
Code of
Ethics
The Company has not adopted a formal
code of ethics applicable to its executive officers. The Board of
Directors has determined that the Company’s financial operations are not
sufficiently complex to warrant adoption of a formal code of
ethics.
Section 16(a) Beneficial
Ownership Reporting Compliance
None of
the officers, directors or beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s
common stock failed to file on a timely basis the reports required by Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act during the year ended December 31, 2009, except that
