Pacific Gold Corp.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Pacific Gold Corp. (“Pacific Gold”) was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 31, 1996 under the name of Demand Financial International, Ltd.  On October 3, 2002, Demand Financial International, Ltd. changed its name to Blue Fish Entertainment, Inc.  On August 5, 2003, the name was changed to Pacific Gold Corp.  Pacific Gold is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and mining of prospects believed to have gold mineralization. Pacific Gold through its subsidiaries currently owns claims, property and leases in Nevada, Oregon and Colorado.


Basis of Presentation.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Pacific Gold Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oregon Gold, Inc., Nevada Rae Gold, Inc., Fernley Gold, Inc., Pilot Mountain Resources, Inc. and Pacific Metals Corp.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Pacific Gold’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for 2008 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.


Significant Accounting Principals


Use of Estimates.  In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statement of expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Pacific Gold considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company has no cash in excess of FDIC federally insured limits as of March 31, 2009.


Revenue Recognition.  Pacific Gold recognizes revenue from the sale of gold when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, which is determined when it places a sale order of gold from its inventory on hand with the refinery. There were no sales in the three months ended March 31, 2009.


Accounts Receivable/Bad Debt.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated credit losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the receivables portfolio.  Management evaluates various factors including expected losses and economic conditions to predict the estimated realization on outstanding receivables.  As of March 31, 2009, there were no accounts receivable.


Inventories.  Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.  Costs included are limited to those directly related to mining. There was inventory as of March 31, 2009 of $30,222 consisting of metals inventory and stockpile ore.


The major classes of inventories as of March 31, 2009 were:


Finished Goods

$

0

Stockpile Ore

 

30,222

Total

$

30,222

Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment are valued at cost.  Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 2 to 10 years.


Mineral Rights


All mine-related costs, other than acquisition costs, are expensed prior to the establishment of proven or probable reserves.  Reserves designated as proven and probable are supported by a final feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are legally extractable at the time of reserve determination.  Once proven or probable reserves are established, all development and other site-specific costs are capitalized.  


Capitalized development costs and production facilities are depleted using the units-of-production method based on the estimated gold which can be recovered from the ore reserves processed.  There has been no change to the estimate of proven and probable reserves.  Lease development costs for non-producing properties are amortized over their remaining lease term if limited.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.


We were not in mining in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and thus we did not amortize any of our mineral rights.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  Pacific Gold reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Pacific Gold assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the undiscounted future net cash flows, which depend on estimates of metals to be recovered from proven and probable ore reserves, and also identified resources beyond proven and probable reserves, future production costs and future metals prices over the estimated remaining mine life.  If undiscounted cash flows are less that the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recognized based upon the estimated expected future net cash flows from the property discounted at an interest rate commensurate with the risk involved.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value.  


The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.  For Pacific Gold, asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of ore-producing property and facilities.


We review the carrying value of our interest in each mineral claim on a quarterly basis to determine whether impairment has incurred in accordance with ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”)


Where information and conditions suggest impairment, we write-down these properties to net recoverable amount, based on estimated discounted future cash flows. Our estimate of gold price, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in property, plant, and equipment. Although we have made our best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect our estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from our operating properties and the need for possible asset impairment write-downs.


Where estimates of future net operating cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, we assess if carrying value can be recovered from net cash flows generated by the sale of the asset or other means.


Income taxes.  Pacific Gold recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Pacific Gold provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. This interpretation is now found under ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions”.


Loss per Share.  The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. As of March 31, 2009 the Company had 187,172,625 potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.


Advertising.  The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company incurred costs of $7,767.


Environmental Remediation Liability.  The Company has posted a bond with the State of Nevada in the amount required by the State of Nevada equal to the maximum cost to reclaim land disturbed in its mining process.  The bond requires a quarterly premium to be paid to the State of Nevada Division of Minerals. The Company is current on all payments.  Due to its investment in the bond and the close monitoring of the State of Nevada, the Company believes that it has adequately mitigated any liability that could be incurred by the Company to reclaim lands disturbed in its mining process.


Financial Instruments.  The Company’s financial instruments, when valued using market interest rates, would not be materially different from the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements.


Convertible Debentures. Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by APB Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”  under the direction of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,  EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments and EITF 05-8 Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with Beneficial Conversion Features. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee options for purposes of SFAS No. 123R, (now ASC Topic 718), except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount or premium and is amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense. For a conversion price change of a convertible debt issue, the additional intrinsic value of the debt conversion feature, calculated as the number of additional shares issuable due to a conversion price change multiplied by the previous conversion price, is recorded as additional debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt.


The Company accounts for modifications of its Embedded Conversion Features (ECF’s) in accordance with EITF 06-6 which requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19.”Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.




8




Equity Instruments Issued with Registration Rights Agreement The Company accounts for these penalties as contingent liabilities, applying the accounting guidance of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (Now ASC Topic 450). This accounting is consistent with views established by FASB Staff Positions FSP EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”, which was issued December 21, 2006. Accordingly, the Company recognizes a liability when it becomes probable that they will be incurred and amounts are reasonably estimable.


In connection with the issuance of convertible note financing for gross proceeds of $2,440,000 in February 2007 and the $450,000 in October 2007, the Company was required to file a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to register the resale of the common stock under the Securities Act. The Company filed that registration statement on April 9, 2007 and October 31, 2007 and those statements have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).


Deferred Financing Fees-Deferred financing fees represent debt issuance costs withheld from the proceeds by the purchasers of the Company’s convertible notes payable. These fees are amortized to interest and financing expense over the lives of the related convertible notes.


Derivative Liability Related to Convertible Notes and Warrants-The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants arises because the conversion price of the Company’s convertible notes is discounted from the market price of the Company’s common stock. Thus, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of such notes is indeterminate, which gives rise to the possibility that the Company may not be able to fully settle its convertible note and warrant obligations by the issuance of common stock.


The derivative liability related to convertible notes and warrants is adjusted to fair value as of each date that a note is converted or a warrant is exercised, as well as at each reporting date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Any change in fair value between reporting dates that arises because of changes in market conditions is recognized as a gain or loss. To the extent the derivative liability is reduced as a consequence of the conversion of notes or the exercise of warrants, such reduction is recognized as additional paid-in capital as of the conversion or exercise date.


Stock based compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”).  SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements.  Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.   The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method.  Under this transition method, stock-based compensation cost is recognized beginning January 1, 2006, for all options granted after the date of adoption as well as the unvested portion of previously granted options based on the estimated fair value.  The impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) resulted in additional compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $35,000.  There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  SFAS No. 123(R) is now found as ASC Topic 718.


Recently issued accounting pronouncements- In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 157 is now found as ASC Topic 820.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of this statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 159 is now found as ASC Topic 820.




9




In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, the purpose of which is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 141R retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 141, which it replaces, but is broader in scope than SFAS No. 141. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 141 (R) is now found as ASC Topic 805.


In November 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 08-8, “Accounting for an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) with a Settlement Amount That is Based on the Stock of an Entity’s Consolidated Subsidiary.”  EITF No. 08-8 clarifies whether a financial instrument for which the payoff to the counterparty is based, in whole or in part, on the stock of an entity’s consolidated subsidiary is indexed to the reporting entity’s own stock.  EITF No. 08-8 also clarifies whether or not stock should be precluded from qualifying for the scope exception of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or from being within the scope of EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”  EITF No. 08-8 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF No. 08-8 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. SFAS No. 133 is now found as ASC Topic 815.


In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” EITF No. 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The EITF 03-6-1 affects entities that accrue dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the award. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 03-6-1 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.


In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock.”  EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions.  It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation.  EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133.” This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 161 is now found as ASC Topic 815.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. SFAS No. 168 is now found as ASC Topic 105.


In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies  that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations


In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities.  For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.  


In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06 which is intended to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in and out of fair value hierarchy levels, the reasons for the transfers and to present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company has applied the new disclosure requirements as of January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-11 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). ASU No. 2010-11 update provides amendments to subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and hedging. The amendments clarify about the scope exception in paragraph 815-10-15-11 and section 815-15-25 as applicable to the embedded credit derivatives. The ASU is effective on the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Therefore, for a calendar-year-end entity, the ASU becomes effective on July 1, 2010. Early application is permitted at the beginning of the first fiscal quarter beginning after March 5, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). ASU No.2010-12 amends FASB Accounting Standard Codification subtopic 740-10 Income Taxes to include paragraph 740-10-S99-4. On March 30, 2010 The President signed the Health Care & Education Affordable Care Act reconciliation bill that amends its previous Act signed on March 23, 2010. FASB Codification topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets to be based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated.” Therefore, the different enactment dates of the Act and reconciliation measure may affect registrants with a period-end that falls between March 23, 2010 (enactment date of the Act), and March 30, 2010 (enactment date of the reconciliation measure). However, the announcement states that the SEC would not object if such registrants were to account for the enactment of both the Act and the reconciliation measure in a period ending on or after March 23, 2010, but notes that the SEC staff “does not believe that it would be appropriate for registrants to analogize to this view in any other fact patterns.” The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.2010-14, “Accounting for Extractive Activities – Oil & Gas” (Topic 932). ASU No. 2010-14 amends FASB accounting Standard paragraph 932-10-S99-1 due to SEC release no. 33-8995 [FR 78], Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting and provides update as to amendments to SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-20 (ASU No. 2010-20) “Receivables” (Topic 310).  ASU No. 2010-20 provides financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables.  This update is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses.  The amendments in this update apply to both public and nonpublic entities with financing receivables, excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value.  The objective of the amendments in ASU No. 2010-20 is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (2) How that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (3) The changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.  The entity must provide disclosures about its financing receivables on a disaggregated basis.  For public entities ASU No. 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  For nonpublic entities ASU No. 2010-20 will become effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.




12




In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates No. 2010-21 (ASU No. 2010-21) “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules” and No. 2010-22 (ASU No. 2010-22) “Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs”.  ASU No 2010-21 amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release no. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies.  ASU No. 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics.  Both ASU No. 2010-21 and ASU No. 2010-22 are effective upon issuance.  The amendments in ASU No. 2010-21 and No. 2010-22 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, Pacific Gold has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 - FINANCING


Series E Note


On October 5, 2007 the Company sold a $450,000 in principal amount of discounted convertible debenture (“Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase common stock (“Warrant”) for an aggregate payment to the Company of $300,000, after deduction for the interest discount. The Debenture is due October 5, 2010, and has an effective simple interest rate of 16.7%, prepaid by original issue discount, with an effective interest rate of 14.47%.  The principal amount due may be converted into shares of common stock at any time by the holder at an initial conversion rate of $0.18 per share.  The amount of principal that may be converted at any one time by the investor is limited to 9.99% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company immediately after the conversion. The Company has agreed to liquidated damages and other damages for failure to effect the conversion or to deliver the certificates.  The conversion price will be subject to adjustment for regular corporate events and reduced to equal the selling price of, or exercise – conversion price for, common stock sold or issuable after October 5, 2007, at less than $0.18.  The conversion price also may be adjusted in the future based on the average of the last three conversions of the currently outstanding debentures issued in the February 2007 debenture offering, if the average is less than $.18.  During 2008 the conversion price was readjusted to $0.0099 and the note was revalued at this time.


The Warrant may be exercised for an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock until October 5, 2010, at $0.18 per share.  The warrants may be exercised by a holder at any one time for up to a maximum of 9.99% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company immediately after exercise.  The exercise price may be paid on a cashless basis in certain limited circumstances, and it will be subject to adjustment for regular corporate events and reduced to equal the selling price of, or exercise – conversion price for, common stock sold or issuable after October 5, 2007, at less than $0.18.


The proceeds from the notes have been discounted for the relative fair value of the warrants. All discounts will be amortized over the life of the notes.

Series D Note


On February 26, 2007, Pacific Gold issued debentures with a face value of $2,440,000 and warrants to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $2,141,000 after fees and commissions of $299,000.  The Company received $1,035,000 of the gross proceeds on February 26, 2007, $805,000 on April 11, 2007 and it received the final advance of proceeds of $600,000 on June 25, 2007. A description of the notes is as follows:


·

Maturity:  The notes mature on February 26, 2009.  The note-holder may elect at any time to convert its notes into shares of common stock at the conversion price (as described below).  The lender is limited to total ownership of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Pacific Gold at any time, so the ability to convert is limited.


·

Prepayment Obligations:  The Company is required to make payments of $222,000, subject to certain adjustments, in cash or shares of common stock at the conversion rate of the lower of (i) $0.18 per share or (ii) 80% of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices of the common stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the installment due dates as defined in the Convertible Debenture starting on July 1, 2007. The note holder has the option to defer payments until the maturity of the note.


·

Interest:  Interest accrues at 10% on the outstanding face value of the debenture.


·

Conversion and conversion price:  The number of shares of common stock shall be determined by dividing the amount owed by $0.18.  The conversion price may be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of certain specified events considered to be dilutive to the debenture holder.




15




·

Warrant:  In connection with the financing, a warrant to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.216 per share and expiring February 26, 2012.  In October 2007 the exercise price of these warrants was reduced to $0.18.


Pursuant to EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and potentially settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the Company recorded a derivative liability for the fair value of the Conversion feature and Warrants issued. The initial combined fair value was $3,684,906. The Company re-measured the fair value at each conversion date and again at March 31, 2009, with a resulting change in the fair value of $3,678,163 recorded as a change in fair value of derivative liability.

1  Fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:  Expected life in years: 2-5; Estimated volatility: 90.6%; Risk-free interest rate: 2%; Dividend yield of 0%.


We have a registration payment arrangement with regard to the common stock issued in the private offering.  We were required to file a registration statement within 45 days of closing and cause the registration statement to become effective on or prior to the 120 days after the closing date.   Our registration statement was filed within the 45 day limit and became effective prior to the 120 days. In addition, we are required to use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the registration statement's effectiveness and file additional registration statements in the future, to continue to provide to the sellers the opportunity to sell the shares of restricted stock that they may hold under the notes and warrants.


In the event we do not satisfy the registration obligations of the registration rights agreement, (a "Registration Default"), we shall pay the investors an amount in cash equal to 1% of the aggregate investment amount for each 30-day period of a Registration Default.   


The maximum penalty that we may incur under this registration payment arrangement is 18% of the aggregate investment amount, or $439,200.  Any payments made are to be prorated for any portion of a 30-day period of a Registration Default.  We do not believe that payment under the registration payment arrangement is probable, and therefore no related liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. As of March 31, 2009 no payments have been made.

·

Conversion and conversion price:  The number of shares of common stock shall be determined by dividing the amount owed by $1.00.  The conversion price may be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of certain specified events considered to be dilutive to the debenture holders.


·

Warrants:  In connection with the financing, 6,400,000 warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.30 per share and a 3-year life.  During 2007, 800,000 warrants were re-priced to $0.20 and exercised for $160,000.


On February 26, 2007 the Company paid $540,000 to cancel a portion of the outstanding debenture in the principal amount of $2,700,000 and related discount of $1,350,074 for a gain on extinguishment of $809,927.

The Company also modified the exercise price of 800,000 associated warrants issued with convertible notes from $.30 to $.20 per share and the other 800,000 warrants from $.30 to $.18 per share.


In accordance with EITF 96-19 and EITF 06-6, the Company recorded an extinguishment loss of approximately $800,044 for the modification of the conversion price as the fair value of the conversion price immediately before and after the modification was greater than 10% of the carrying amount of the original debt instrument immediately prior to the modification.  The loss on extinguishment was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the new instruments issued and the previous carrying value of the convertible debt at the date of extinguishment.


On October 5, 2007 the Company modified the conversion price of the remaining convertible notes from $.26 to $.18 per share.


In accordance with EITF 96-19 and EITF 06-6, the Company recorded an extinguishment loss of approximately $200,068 for the modification of the conversion price as the fair value of the conversion price immediately before and after the modification was greater than 10% of the carrying amount of the original debt instrument immediately prior to the modification.  The loss on extinguishment was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the new instruments issued and the previous carrying value of the convertible debt at the date of extinguishment.


The proceeds from the notes have been discounted for the relative fair value of the warrants and the discount. All discounts will be amortized over the life of the notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Forward Looking Statements


From time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the SEC. Words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project or projected", or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the above discussion of certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.


Management is currently unaware of any trends or conditions other than those previously mentioned in this management's discussion and analysis that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, future results of operations, or liquidity. However, investors should also be aware of factors that could have a negative impact on our prospects and the consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and generation of capital resources. These include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii) possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise raise adequate funds from any source should the company seek to do so, (iii) increased governmental regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable outcomes to litigation involving the company or to which the company may become a party in the future and, (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing operating environment.


The above identified risks are not all inclusive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the company's business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.


The financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read with the consolidated financial statements of Pacific Gold included elsewhere herein.


Introduction


Pacific Gold is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of mining prospects believed to have gold and/or tungsten mineralizations.  The main objective is to explore, identify, and develop commercially viable mineralizations on prospects over which the company has rights that could produce revenues. These types of prospects may also contain mineralization of metals often found with gold and/or tungsten which also may be worth processing. Exploration and development for commercially viable mineralization of any metal includes a high degree of risk which careful evaluation, experience and factual knowledge may not eliminate, and therefore, we may never produce any significant revenues.


Pacific Gold Corp. currently owns 100% of five operating subsidiaries; Nevada Rae Gold, Inc., Oregon Gold, Inc., Pilot Mountain Resources Inc., Pacific Metals Corp., and Fernley Gold, Inc. in which it holds various prospects in Nevada and Oregon.  The company intends to acquire through staking, purchasing and/or leasing arrangements additional prospects, from time to time, in which there may be gold, tungsten and/or other mineral deposit potential.


Nevada Rae Gold, Inc.


In 2004 and 2005 Nevada Rae permitted the mine with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the Nevada State Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). The property is now referred to as the Black Rock Canyon Mine.


During 2005, Nevada Rae built a mining and milling facility at the Black Rock Canyon Mine.


In 2006 the Company began production at the Black Rock Canyon Mine. In late 2006, based on preliminary results at the Black Rock Canyon Mine, Nevada Rae began modifications to the site equipment and facilities.




20




During the second and third quarters of 2007, the Company concentrated on installation of the new systems and equipment to be installed at the Black Rock Canyon Mine. At the end of the reporting period the equipment had been installed, however it was not operating as intended.


The Company operated the mine on a full time basis. The mine showed production throughput of approximately 6,700 yards in July 2007, 11,000 yards in August 2007 and 10,000 yards in September 2007. Production was well below anticipated targets primarily due to the failure of the new dewatering screen that was installed in the second quarter of 2007. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2007 the Company temporarily shut down the Black Rock Canyon mine so as to disconnect the failed dewatering system and order a new system from another manufacturer. The Company plans to restart production as soon as the new system is installed.


In 2008 the Company focused on new solutions for the dewatering system of the Black Rock mine. Additionally some site improvements were made and the JCI 3 deck screen was replaced with a Trommel screen. The Company applied for permission to modify the mine permits with a new dewatering/desanding system.


In 2009 the Company continues to work on the development of the Black Rock Canyon Mine to prepare it for gold production.


Oregon Gold, Inc.


Oregon Gold has a number of prospects in the Siskiyou National Forest, in Josephine County Oregon.  These prospects cover approximately 280 acres of placer deposits in one area and another 37 acres in a second, almost contiguous area.  The property is accessible from a gravel road that connects with a local paved road.  Maintenance of the gravel road is moderate.  In some places a stream must be forded for access.  Generally, there is ample water from the perennial stream bordering the prospects available for exploratory and later implementation of the business plan.  Water use is subject to meeting permitting requirements.  Power will be available through generators brought to and operated onsite.


Oregon Gold owns the Defiance Mine and additional claims in Josephine County, Oregon.  The company operated the Defiance Mine during the summer and fall of 2004. Mining activity concluded for the winter at the end of November 2004.


In June of 2005 the Company conducted a testing program on the Bear Bench claims. The testing confirmed gold presence and indicates future testing is warranted. Currently the Company is focusing on its operations in Nevada at the Black Rock Canyon Mine.


In August of 2009 Pacific Gold Corp has sold 100% of its interest share in Oregon Gold to an individual, Yinfang Yang. Details of the sale agreement have been disclosed on the 8-K filed August 25, 2009.


Pilot Mountain Resources Inc.


In August 2005, Pacific Gold Corp. established a new subsidiary called Pilot Mountain Resources Inc. Pilot Mountain acquired Project W.  Project W is primarily a tungsten project located in Mineral County, Nevada. Elevated tungsten values occur throughout the area, and there are known mineral resources within the claim area. The property is located approximately 21 miles east of the town of Mina with access through an all-weather, county-maintained gravel road and a network of further trails. Mina is 168 miles south-east of Reno on Route 95. The claims are located at an average elevation of 6,500 feet.


Resource calculations from a feasibility study completed by Kaiser Engineers place the size of Project W at 9,061,600 tons, grading 0.386% Tungsten Tri-oxide (WO 3 ) of combined proven, probable and possible ore, or approximately 35,000 tons of WO 3 .


The terms of the acquisition of Project W call for Pilot Mountain Resources Inc. to pay to Platoro West a 2% gross royalty on all mineral sales from Project W. In addition to the claims, Pilot Mountain Resources Inc. received copies of previously prepared working documents and reports regarding Project W.




21




Fernley Gold, Inc.


Fernley Gold, Inc. entered into a lease agreement in 2004 for the right to mine the property and claims known as Butcher Boy and Teddy.  The property and claims are located 34 miles east of Reno, Nevada, just off highway I-80.  The area known for placer gold, and commonly referred to as the Olinghouse Placers, has a rich mining history.


Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition


The Company had no revenues from the sale of gold in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  


Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, totaled $317,689.  The Company incurred labor, fuel and productions costs associated with the various mining activities. Equipment operating costs, tools and materials of $2,696 were incurred primarily to prepare the plant and equipment at Black Rock Canyon for operations.  Legal and professional fees of $16,512 were incurred for services performed with respect to acquisitions and mining prospect evaluation, as well as SEC reporting compliance and accounting fees.  The Company also incurred expenses related to geological studies, fieldwork, site visits, preparation of mining permit applications and consulting fees of $101,448.  Advertising and public relations expenses totaled $7,767.  Interest expense totaled $101,004 for the quarter; this amount, was a non-cash expense that included amounts for accelerated interest and interest on the Series C, D and E Convertible Debentures that were not paid out in cash. The remaining expenses relate to general administrative expenses. We believe we will incur substantial expenses for the near term as we build up operations at the Black Rock Canyon Mine and progress with our evaluations of future mining prospects.


The Company had no revenues from the sale of gold in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.


Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, totaled $541,577.  The Company incurred labor, fuel and productions costs associated with the various mining activities.  Inventory was written down by $40,239 to reflect the proper cost of gold on hand at the end of the quarter. Equipment operating costs, tools and materials of $29,919 were incurred primarily to prepare the plant and equipment at Black Rock Canyon for operations.  Legal and professional fees of $49,016 were incurred for services performed with respect to acquisitions and mining prospect evaluation, as well as SEC reporting compliance and accounting fees.  The Company also incurred expenses related to geological studies, fieldwork, site visits, preparation of mining permit applications and consulting fees of $9,532.  Advertising and public relations expenses totaled $3,540.  Interest expense totaled $654,627 for the quarter; of this amount, $543,726 was a non-cash expense that included amounts for accelerated interest and interest on the Series C, D and E Convertible Debentures that were not paid out in cash. The remaining expenses relate to general administrative expenses. We believe we will incur substantial expenses for the near term as we build up operations at the Black Rock Canyon Mine and progress with our evaluations of future mining prospects.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since inception to March 31, 2009, we have funded our operations from the sale of securities, issuance of debt and loans from a shareholder. At March 31, 2009, we had unsecured loans from a shareholder in an aggregate amount of $1,777,221 including accrued interest. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% and were originally due on December 31, 2009, then extended to January 02, 2011 and subsequently extended to January 02, 2013. Pursuant to the agreement with the holder of the February 2007 debentures described below, repayment of the principal and interest on the shareholder loan is limited based on operational income.


As of March 31, 2009, our assets totaled $2,079,257, which consisted primarily of mineral rights, land and water rights, and related equipment. Our total liabilities were $4,236,959 which primarily consisted of notes payable and accrued interest to a shareholder of $1,777,221, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,709,205 convertible debt of $515,373 and derivative liability of $6,743. We had an accumulated deficit of $23,908,117. Pacific Gold had negative working capital at March 31, 2009 of $3,918,802.




22




On April 12, 2006 the company borrowed $6,100,000 in principal amount evidenced by original discount debentures, in which it received $3,812,500.  These notes were convertible into common stock at the option of the holders, who during 2006, 2007 and 2008 elected to convert part of the outstanding principal.  The company issued 9,350,000 shares on conversion in 2006, 2007 and 2008. As of March 31, 2009, there was outstanding $97,000 in principal amount, which at this time was assigned for valuable consideration to a third party.  The balance of the note was extended to mature on October 2009, and no other changes to the terms of the note were made at that time.  The warrants attached to the note were not assigned as part of the agreement. The remaining balance of the note was converted into shares of common stock on October 23, 2009.


On February 26, 2007, the Company sold $2,440,000 in principal amount of convertible debentures and warrants. The Company paid approximately $299,000 in commissions and expenses. The debentures are due on February 26, 2009 and bear interest at a rate of 10%. The debentures and warrants were sold, and the common stock issued on conversion and exercise will be sold, under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a private placement basis, to an institutional, accredited investor. The Company received the funds from the debentures in three installments, the first of which for $1,035,000 received on February 26, 2007 at the closing of financing.  The Company used $540,000 from the first installment to retire $2,700,000 of the outstanding original discount debentures issued April 12, 2006. The second installment of these debentures, $800,000 was paid upon filing of a registration statement for the resale by the holder of the debenture of the shares issuable on conversion and the third installment of $600,000 was paid immediately prior to such registration statement going effective.  The company has issued 76,622,222 shares on conversion in 2007 and 2008.  An additional 43,706,570 shares were issued on conversion for the three months ended March 31, 2009.


On October 5, 2007 the Company sold $450,000 in principal amount of convertible debentures and warrants.  The debentures were due on October 5, 2010, and were paid in full with issuance of shares for conversion.  The debentures and warrants were sold, and the common stock issued on conversion and exercise was sold, under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a private placement basis, to an institutional, accredited investor. The Company received $300,000 which was used for working capital.  During 2008 the Company issued 2,020,202 shares on conversion. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the company issued an additional 3,030,303 shares on conversion.


The Company will require additional capital to fund operations at its mine site, begin operations at additional mine sites and to fund exploration and development of additionally acquired prospects unless operations generate sufficient revenues to support its business plan.  The Company does not have any identified sources of capital at this time.  Substantially all the assets of the Company are pledged to one of the holders of outstanding debentures which may make it difficult to obtain additional funding for operations and expansion.  Unless the Company finds needed capital, it will have to change its business objectives and operational plans and curtail some or all of its current operations. 


New Accounting Pronouncements


Pacific Gold does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company, or any of its subsidiaries’ operating results, financial position, or cash flow.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations associated with commodity prices and foreign currency.  At this time, the Company has not entered into any hedging agreements due to limited value of transactions in foreign currency.  The Company has entered into convertible debentures which have been determined to require derivative treatment.  The convertible debentures are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method at each date a conversion takes place and at each balance sheet date.  The change in the value of the derivative portion of the debenture is reflected in the Company’s income statement and the fair value of the derivative is accounted for on its balance sheet.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, the Certifying Officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009. Their evaluation was carried out with the participation of other members of the Company’s management. Based on an evaluation conducted by management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2009.  Our disclosure controls and procedures did not ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules, and (ii) the necessary information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as specified by the SEC rules and forms..


Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:


(a) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;


(b) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and


(c) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce this risk.


Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are ineffective, based in part on the absence of separation of duties with respect to internal financial controls of the Company.


The Board of Directors and our audit committee have assigned a high priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting.   The Company’s initial focus is to become current in its SEC filings, and the board has engaged the services of a new independent registered public accounting firm which will be reviewing our financial statements that are to be included in the 2009, 2010, and first quarter 2011 delinquent filings.  Additionally, the Board of Directors will consider and work with management to devise a remediation program for the currently identified deficiencies within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.
