Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report.

ITEM 1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

THE COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

WestMountain Index Advisor, Inc. (“WestMountain,” “WMTN” or the “Company”) is an exploration and development company that explores, acquires, and develops advanced stage properties. We have a high-grade gold system in the resource definition phase with 168,000 oz of inferred gold which in total offers potential of greater than 1,000,000 ounces. The property consists of 240 Alaska state mining claims covering approximately 130 square kilometers. All Government permits and reclamation plans for continued exploration through 2014 were renewed in 2010.

We have budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months of approximately $3,500,000, depending on additional financing, for general and administrative expenses and exploration and development to implement the business plan as described above.  For further details see “Cash Requirements” below.
 
WMTN believes that it will have to raise substantial additional capital in order to fully implement the business plan.  If economic reserves of gold and/or other minerals are proven, additional capital will be needed to actually develop and mine those reserves. As discussed under “Cash Requirements” below, we must expend $9,050,000 over the next four years as our “earn in” on the TMC project to own rights to 80% of the project.  Even if economic reserves are found, if we are unable to raise this capital, we will not be able to complete our earn in on this project.  
 
Our principal source of liquidity for the next several years will need to be the continued raising of capital through the issuance of equity or debt and the exercise of warrants.  WMTN plans to raise funds for each step of the project and as each step is successfully completed, raise the capital for the next phase.  WMTN believes this will reduce the cost of capital as compared to trying to raise all the anticipated capital at once up front.  However, since WMTN’s ability to raise additional capital will be affected by many factors, most of which are not within our control (see “Risk Factors”), no assurance can be given that WMTN will in fact be able to raise the additional capital as it is needed.
 
Our primary activity will be to proceed with the Terra Mining Corporation (“TMC”) project and other mining opportunities that may present themselves from time to time. We cannot guarantee that the TMC project will be successful or that any project that we embark upon will be successful. Our goal is to build our Company into a successful mineral exploration and development Company.

CORPORATE INFORMATION
 
We were incorporated in the state of Colorado on October 18, 2007.  Our principal executive office is located at 2186 S. Holly St., Suite 104, Denver, CO 80222, and our telephone number is (303) 800-0678.   The Company’s principal website address is located at www.terraminingcorp.com.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

KEY MARKET PRIORITIES
 
Our primary key market priority will be to proceed with the TMC project and other mining opportunities that may present themselves from time to time. We cannot guarantee that the TMC project will be successful or that any project that we embark upon will be successful. Our goal is to build our Company into a successful mineral exploration and development Company.

 PRIMARY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
We are exposed to various risks related to the volatility of the price of gold, our reserve estimates, operating as a going concern, unique difficulties and uncertainties in mining exploration ventures, our need for additional financing, and a volatile market price for our common stock. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail below in this item.

EMPLOYEES

As of October 31, 2011, we had five full-time and part-time employees and we use employees of Minex Exploration, an Idaho partnership affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, as contractors for exploration and development of our Alaska property. Most employees were based in Sandpoint, ID. The Chief Executive Officer is based out of the Sandpoint, ID office. The Chief Financial Officer is based out of Seattle, WA.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The most significant risks and uncertainties known and identified by our management are described below; however, they are not the only risks that we face. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects for growth could be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should acquire shares of our Common Stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. We make various statements in this section that constitute “forward-looking statements”. See “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 3 of this prospectus.

The volatility of the price of gold could adversely affect our future operations and our ability to develop our properties.  

The potential for profitability of our operations, the value of our properties and our ability to raise funding to conduct continued exploration and development, if warranted, are directly related to the market price of gold and other precious metals.  The price of gold may also have a significant influence on the market price of our common stock and the value of our properties.  Our decision to put a mine into production and to commit the funds necessary for that purpose must be made long before the first revenue from production would be received.  A decrease in the price of gold may prevent our property from being economically mined or result in the write-off of assets whose value is impaired as a result of lower gold prices.
 
As of December 16, 2011, the price of gold was $1,577 per ounce, based on the daily London PM fix on that date.  The volatility of mineral prices represents a substantial risk which no amount of planning or technical expertise can fully eliminate.  In the event gold prices decline or remain low for prolonged periods of time, we might be unable to develop our properties, which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows.

Estimates of mineralized material are based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated.  

Unless otherwise indicated, estimates of mineralized material presented in our press releases and regulatory filings are based upon estimates made by us and our consultants.  When making determinations about whether to advance any of our projects to development, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the mineralized material on our properties.  Until mineralized material is actually mined and processed, it must be considered an estimate only.  These estimates are imprecise and depend on geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.  We cannot assure you that these mineralized material estimates will be accurate or that this mineralized material can be mined or processed profitably.  Any material changes in estimates of mineralized material will affect the economic viability of placing a property into production and such property’s return on capital.  There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale metallurgical tests will be recovered at production scale.
  
The mineralized material estimates have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs that may prove inaccurate.  Extended declines in market prices for gold and silver may render portions of our mineralized material uneconomic and adversely affect the commercial viability of one or more of our properties and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.

The audited financial statements for WMTN for the period of inception from March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2011 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.   Such factors identified in the report result from our limited history of operations, limited assets, and operating losses since inception.  If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.
 
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.
 
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.
 
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, we had no revenues.
 
Net loss for the year ended October 31, 2011 was $4,035,260 as compared to a net loss of $495,018 for the period from inception of to October 31, 2010. The net loss included $900,000 of non-cash expenses related to the transaction that acquired the TMC and the TMC project.
 
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the property, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan.  As of December 20, 2011 we had cash in the amount of $200,000. 
 
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the property.  We do not currently have sufficient funds to conduct continued exploration on the property and require additional financing in order to determine whether the property contains economic mineralization.  We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of the property are greater than anticipated.

We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete.  We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for copper, silver and gold, investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions.  These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.  The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the property to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.

Because we have commenced limited business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.
 
We started exploring our properties in the summer of 2011.  Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful.  Although we were incorporated in the state of Colorado on October 18, 2007, the Company just acquired our mineral properties with our acquisition of TMC on February 28, 2011.  We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus.  TMC itself has only been in existence since March 25, 2010.
 
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues.  We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future.  We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the mineral claims and the production of minerals from the claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.

There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

We are dependent on key personnel.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management and other personnel, some of whom could be difficult to replace. We do not maintain key man life insurance covering certain of our officers. Our success will depend on the performance of our officers, our ability to retain and motivate our officers, our ability to integrate new officers into our operations and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team. Our failure to retain and recruit officers and other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We lack an operating history and we expect to have losses in the future.
 
Except for our initial exploration efforts as described above, we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the following:
 
 
Our ability to locate a profitable mineral property;
 
 
Our ability to generate revenues; and
 
 
Our ability to reduce exploration costs.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in foreseeable future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
 
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
 
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards.  As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure.  Although we conducted a due diligence investigation prior to entering into the acquisition of TMC, risk remains regarding any undisclosed or unknown liabilities associated with this project. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
 
Because we are small and do not have sufficient capital, we may have to cease operation even if we have found mineralized material.
 
Because we are small and do not have sufficient capital, we must limit our exploration. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may be unable to mine mineralized material, even if our mineral claims contain mineralized material. If we cannot mine mineralized material, we may have to cease operations.
 
 
7

 
 
If we become subject to onerous government regulation or other legal uncertainties, our business will be negatively affected.
 
Governmental regulations impose material restrictions on mineral property exploration and development. Under Alaska mining law, to engage in exploration will require permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. If we proceed to commence drilling operations on the mineral claims, we will incur additional regulatory compliance costs.

In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to mineral exploration is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues.  In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to limit or restrict mining that have not as yet been applied.  These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration that could cause us to delay or suspend operations.

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as explosives, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.
 
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mineral properties, there is no assurance that our exploration activities will result in the discovery of new commercially exploitable quantities of minerals.
 
We plan to continue to source exploration mineral claims. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that additional exploration on our properties will establish that additional commercially exploitable reserves of gold exist on our properties.  Problems such as unusual or unexpected geological formations or other variable conditions are involved in exploration and often result in exploration efforts being unsuccessful. The additional potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and attendant additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. These risks may result in us being unable to establish the presence of additional commercial quantities of ore on our mineral claims with the result that our ability to fund future exploration activities may be impeded.
 
Weather and location challenges may restrict and delay our work on our property.  
 
We plan to conduct our exploration on a seasonal basis, it is possible that snow or rain could restrict and delay work on the properties to a significant degree. Our property is located in a relatively remote location, which creates additional transportation and energy costs and challenges.
 
As we face intense competition in the mining industry, we will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.
 
The mining industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. Competition includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive mining claims or financing on terms we consider acceptable. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration and development programs may be slowed down or suspended.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by Blue Sky eligibility and the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
We currently are not Blue Sky eligible in certain states so trading of the Company’s stock in such states may be restricted. In addition, the SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Under the penny stock rules, additional sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors."  The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to broker-dealers ability to trade in the Company’s securities.  The Blue Sky eligibility and the penny stock rules may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, the Company’s common stock.

The sale of a significant number of our shares of common stock could depress the price of our common stock. 
 
Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of December 20, 2011, there were 25.4 million shares of common stock and warrants issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Therefore the amount of shares being registered for resale constitutes a significant percentage of the issued and outstanding shares and the sale of all or a portion of these shares could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. Significant shares of common stock are held by our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders. As “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”)) of the Company, our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders may only sell their shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144. 

We may engage in acquisitions, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures that could result in financial results that are different than expected. 
 
In the normal course of business, we may engage in discussions relating to possible acquisitions, equity investments, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. All such transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including:

 
Use of significant amounts of cash,
 
 
Potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities on potentially unfavorable terms,
 
 
Incurrence of debt on potentially unfavorable terms as well as impairment expenses related to goodwill and amortization expenses related to other intangible assets, and
 
 
The possibility that we may pay too much cash or issue too many of our shares as the purchase price for an acquisition relative to the economic benefits that we ultimately derive from such acquisition.
 
 
The process of integrating any acquisition may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas where we may face difficulties in the foreseeable include:
 
 
Diversion of management time, during the period of negotiation through closing and after closing, from its focus on operating the businesses to issues of integration,
 
 
The need to integrate each Company's accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management, and the lack of control if such integration is delayed or not implemented,
 
 
The need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company that may not have been in place in private companies, prior to acquisition,
 
 
The need to incorporate acquired technology, content or rights into our products and any expenses related to such integration, and
 
 
The need to successfully develop any acquired in-process technology to realize any value capitalized as intangible assets.
 
 
9

 
 
From time to time, we may engage in discussions with candidates regarding potential divestures. If a divestiture does occur, we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to:
 
 
Effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser,
 
 
Identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to retain,
 
 
Reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business, and
 
 
Collect the proceeds from any divestitures.

In addition, if customers of the divested business do not receive the same level of service from the new owners, this may adversely affect our other businesses to the extent that these customers also purchase other products offered by us. All of these efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations.

If we do not realize the expected benefits or synergies of any divestiture transaction, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be negatively impacted.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile. 
 
The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as: 
 
Announcements by us regarding liquidity, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments, loan, note payable and agreement defaults, loss of our subsidiaries and impairment of assets,
   
Issuance of convertible or equity securities for general or merger and acquisition purposes,
   
Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes,
   
Sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock by shareholders,
   
General market and economic conditions,
   
Quarterly variations in our operating results,
   
Investor relation activities,
   
Announcements of technological innovations,
   
New product introductions by us or our competitors,
   
Competitive activities, and
   
Additions or departures of key personnel.
 
 
10

 
 
These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  
 
Our management has substantial influence over our company. 
 
As of December 20, 2011, Greg Schifrin, our CEO, and Mr. James Baughman together, either directly or indirectly, own or control 6.7 million shares as of the filing date or approximately 33.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and 26.3% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis.

Mr. Schifrin and Mr. Baughman, in combination with other large shareholders, could cause a change of control of our board of directors, approve or disapprove any matter requiring stockholder approval, cause, delay or prevent a change in control or sale of the Company, which in turn could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Conflict of interest.
 
Some of our officers and directors are also directors and officers of other companies, and conflicts of interest may arise between their duties as our officers and directors and as directors and officers of other companies. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have limited insurance. 
 
We have limited director and officer insurance and commercial insurance policies. Any significant insurance claims would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview

WMTN is an exploration and development company that explores, acquires, and develops advanced stage properties. We have a high-grade gold system in the resource definition phase with 168,000 oz of inferred gold which in total offers potential of greater than 1,000,000 ounces. The property consists of 240 Alaska state mining claims covering approximately 130 square kilometers. All Government permits and reclamation plans for continued exploration through 2014 were renewed in 2010.

We have budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months of approximately $3,500,000, depending on additional financing, for general and administrative expenses and exploration and development to implement the business plan as described above.  For further details see “Cash Requirements” below.
 
WMTN believes that it will have to raise substantial additional capital in order to fully implement the business plan.  If economic reserves of gold and/or other minerals are proven, additional capital will be needed to actually develop and mine those reserves. As discussed under “Cash Requirements” below, we must expend $9,050,000 over the next four years as our “earn in” on the TMC project to own rights to 80% of the project.  Even if economic reserves are found, if we are unable to raise this capital, we will not be able to complete our earn in on this project.  
 
Our principal source of liquidity for the next several years will need to be the continued raising of capital through the issuance of equity or debt and the exercise of warrants.  WMTN plans to raise funds for each step of the project and as each step is successfully completed, raise the capital for the next phase.  WMTN believes this will reduce the cost of capital as compared to trying to raise all the anticipated capital at once up front.  However, since WMTN’s ability to raise additional capital will be affected by many factors, most of which are not within our control (see “Risk Factors”), no assurance can be given that WMTN will in fact be able to raise the additional capital as it is needed.
 
Our primary activity will be to proceed with the Terra Mining Corporation (“TMC”) project and other mining opportunities that may present themselves from time to time. We cannot guarantee that the TMC project will be successful or that any project that we embark upon will be successful. Our goal is to build our Company into a successful mineral exploration and development Company.

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2011 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION OF MARCH 25, 2010 TO OCTOBER 31, 2010

EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended October 31, 2011 increased $1,268,000 to $1,710,000 as compared to $442,000 for the period from inception of March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2010. Exploration expenses for the year ended October 31, 2011 increased $1,461,000 to $1,461,000 as compared to $0 for the period from inception of March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2010. We acquired TMC on February 28, 2011.

Such expenses for the year ended October 31, 2011 and for the period from inception of March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2010 consisted primarily of employee and independent contractor expenses, rent, audit, overhead, amortization and depreciation, professional and consulting fees, sales and marketing costs, investor relations, legal, and other general and administrative costs and exploration expenses.

NET LOSS

Net loss for the year ended October 31, 2011 was $4,035,000 as compared to a net loss of $495,000 for the period from inception of March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2010. The net loss included $900,000 of non-cash expenses related to the reverse merger transaction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We had cash of approximately $10,000, working capital deficit of approximately $1,138,000 and no indebtedness as of October 31, 2011. In addition, we have $1,155,000 million due under operating leases in 2011 and future years.  Further, we have $8,100,000 in mining expenditures in 2012 and future years.

With the acquisition of TMC, we expect that compared to the historic expenses incurred by TMC and, subject to raising additional capital, expenditures will ramp up for exploration and development.  We have budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months of approximately $3,500,000, depending on additional financing, for general and administrative expenses and exploration and development. We may choose to scale back operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting overhead depending on the availability of additional financing. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if it decides to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if it must respond to unanticipated events that require it to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.

If economic reserves of gold and/or other minerals are proven, additional capital will be needed to actually develop and mine those reserves. We must expend $9.1 million over the next four years as our “earn in” on the TMC project to own rights to 80% of the project.  Even if economic reserves are found, if we are unable to raise this capital, we will not be able to complete our earn in on this project.  
 
OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2011 was $1,630,000. This amount was primarily related to a net loss of $4,035,000, depreciation and amortization, non-cash expenses related to the reverse merger transaction of $1,039,000, $734,000 of non-cash expenses related to operations and decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,093,000, offset by and an increase in prepaid expenses of $290,136 and contractual rights of $150,000.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended October 31, 2011 was $317,000. This amount reflects cash expenditures of $414,000, offset by cash acquired in merger of $101,000.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended October 31, 2011 was $1,445,000. This amount was primarily related to the issuance of promissory notes and common stock of $2,070,000, offset by the repayment of debenture notes of $630,000.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
The application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that of our significant accounting policies (see summary of significant accounting policies more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements set forth in this report), the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.  As of October 31, 2011, the Company had no uninsured cash amounts.

 
16

 
 
Equipment
Equipment consists of machinery, furniture and fixtures and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally 3 years. 

Mineral Properties
Costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred.  When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.

The Company has access to the camp by airplane. There is no road access from camp to the project area where drilling and bulk sampling mining occurs. It is approximately 1 1/2 miles from camp to the project area.  Power generation is by diesel generator at the camp. Fuel is brought in for the generators by a cargo plane to the airstrip.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.  As of October 31, 2011, there are no impairments recognized.

Alaska Reclamation and Remediation Liabilities
TMC operates in Alaska. The State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources requires a pool of funds from all permittees with exploration and mining projects to cover reclamation. There is a $750 per acre disturbance reclamation bond that is required for disturbance of 5 acres or more and/or removal of more the 50,000 cubic yards of material. In year one, TMC does not expect to exceed the minimum requirements and is not expected to be required to file a reclamation bond. As the project advances and feasibility justifies expansion, TMC may exceed the minimums outlined and may be required to file a reclamation plan and bond.  

The Company expects to record reclamation bond as a liability in the period in which the Company is required to pay a reclamation bond. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in reclamation bond.

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred.  Significant property acquisition payments for active exploration properties are capitalized.  If no minable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned.  Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a unit of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.  The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold.  Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2011. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation described above, our management concluded that they believe that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management identified the weaknesses discussed below. 
 
 
18

 
 
Identified Material Weakness
 
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2011:
 
We do not have an audit committee.  An audit committee would improve oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
 
(b)  Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, there were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during this fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.
 
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
 
There were no disclosures of any information required to be filed on Form 8-K during the three months ended October 31, 2011 that were not filed.

Our Management Directors

Gregory Schifrin
 
Mr. Schifrin has worked as a geologist and manager for 28 years in mining and mineral exploration industry where he has been involved in precious, base metals, and uranium exploration and development.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
WestMountain Index Advisors, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WestMountain Index Advisors, Inc. (the “Company”) (a development stage company) as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from March 25, 2010 (“Inception”) through October 31, 2011 and 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 audits 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 WestMountain Index Advisors, Inc. as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from Inception through October 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit during the development stage.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WESTMOUNTAIN INDEX ADVISOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.
ORGANIZATION

THE COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

WestMountain Index Advisor, Inc., a Colorado Corporation, (“WestMountain,” “WMTN” or the “Company”) originally planned to act as a developer of indexes that allow investors to access specific market niches or sub-markets. It had planned to earn income by helping investors identify and access specific market niches or sub-markets using its index products.
 
In previous filings, the Company disclosed that if it were not successful in its operations, it would be faced with several options:
 
        1.   
Cease operations and go out of business;
        2.   
Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital;
        3.   
Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or
        4.   
Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing  sources
 
As it became apparent that its original plans were not developing as hoped, the Company began looking at these options.  During this effort, the Company identified an opportunity to take advantage of option 4.

On September 17, 2010, the Company executed a non-binding term sheet with Terra Mining Corporation (“TMC”), a private British Columbia, Canadian corporation, whereby WMTN would acquire TMC in a reverse merger transaction.
 
The Company acquired TMC on February 28, 2011 (the “Share Exchange”) and the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting, whereby TMC is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and WMTN to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The Company’s financial statements before the date of Share Exchange are those of TMC with the results of WMTN being consolidated from the date of Share Exchange. The equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.
 
 
F-6

 
 
The Company adopted TMC’s fiscal year, which is October 31.
 
WMTN is an exploration and development stage company that explores, acquires, and develops advanced stage properties. The Company has a high-grade gold system in the resource definition phase with 168,000 oz of inferred gold which in total offers potential of greater than 1,000,000 ounces that is owned by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Terra Mining Corp. (“TMC”). The property consists of 240 Alaska state mining claims covering approximately 130 square kilometers. All Government permits and reclamation plans for continued exploration through 2014 were renewed in 2010,  which is referred to as  the “TMC project”.
 
The Company has budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months of approximately $3,500,000, depending on additional financing, for general and administrative expenses and exploration and development to implement the business plan as described below.  
 
WMTN believes it will have to raise substantial additional capital in order to fully implement the business plan.  If economic reserves of gold and/or other minerals are proven, additional capital will be needed to actually develop and mine those reserves. The Company must expend $9,050,000 over the next three years as an “earn in” on the TMC project to own rights to 80% of the project.  Even if economic reserves are found, if the Company is unable to raise this capital, the Company will not be able to complete the earn in on this project.  

The Company’s principal source of liquidity for the next several years will need to be the continued raising of capital through the issuance of equity or debt.  WMTN plans to raise funds for each step of the project and as each step is successfully completed, raise the capital for the next phase.  WMTN believes this will reduce the cost of capital as compared to trying to raise all the anticipated capital at once up front.  However, since WMTN’s ability to raise additional capital will be affected by many factors, most of which are not within the Company’s control (see “Risk Factors”), no assurance can be given that WMTN will in fact be able to raise the additional capital as it is needed.
 
The Company’s primary activity will be to proceed with the TMC project and other mining opportunities that may present themselves from time to time. The Company cannot guarantee that the TMC project will be successful or that any project that WMTN embarks upon will be successful. The goal is to build our Company into a successful mineral exploration and development Company.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective with the commencement of trading on October 12, 2010, the Company reverse split its Common Shares. New Common Shares were issued to shareholders in exchange for their Old Common Shares in the ratio of one New Common Share for each four Old Common Shares held, thus effecting a one-for-four reverse stock split. Fractional shares, if any, were rounded up to the next whole number. There was no change in the par value of the Common Shares. All common shares have been retroactively restated to account for the reverse split.
 
Liquidity and Going Concern

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and the period from inception of March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2011, the Company had no revenues.

With the acquisition of TMC, the Company expects that compared to the historic expenses incurred by TMC and, subject to raising additional capital, expenditures will ramp up for exploration and development.  The Company has budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months of approximately $3,500,000, depending on additional financing, for general and administrative expenses and exploration and development. The Company may choose to scale back operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting overhead depending on the availability of additional financing. In addition, the Company expects that it will need to raise additional funds if the Company decides to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if it must respond to unanticipated events that require it to make additional investments. The Company cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.

The Company’s accountants have expressed doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern as a result of the Company’s history of net losses. The Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully execute the plans to pursue the TMC project as described in this Form 10-K. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its business.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Method
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is the parent company’s and its subsidiary’s functional currency and the Company’s presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate in effect at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the spot rate of exchange in effect at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Beginning December 31, 2010 and through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.  As of October 31, 2011, the Company had no uninsured cash amounts.

Equipment
Equipment consists of machinery, furniture and fixtures and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally 3 years.

Mineral Properties
Costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred.  When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.

Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.

The Company has access to the camp by airplane. There is no road access from camp to the project area where drilling and bulk sampling mining occurs. It is approximately 1 1/2 miles from camp to the project area.  Power generation is by diesel generator at the camp. Fuel is brought in for the generators by a cargo plane to the airstrip.

 
F-8

 
 
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.  As of October 31, 2011, there are no impairments recognized.
 
Alaska Reclamation and Remediation Liabilities
The Company operates in Alaska. The State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources requires a pool of funds from all permittees with exploration and mining projects to cover reclamation. There is a $750 per acre disturbance reclamation bond that is required for disturbance of 5 acres or more and/or removal of more the 50,000 cubic yards of material. The Company does not expect to exceed the minimum requirements and is not expected to be required to file a reclamation bond until the project advances and feasibility justifies expansion.
 
The Company expects to record reclamation bond as a liability in the period in which the Company is required to pay a reclamation bond. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in reclamation bond.

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred.  Significant property acquisition payments for active exploration properties are capitalized.  If no minable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned.  Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a unit of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.  The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties abandoned.  Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.

Provision for Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end.  A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes.

Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had warrants for the purchase of 6,321,041 common shares which were not included in the computation of loss per share at October 31, 2011 because they would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued over three years to International Tower Hill Ltd. which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

 
F-9

 
 
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses were $238,860 and $2,500 as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The prepaid expenses primarily reflect amounts expensed for warrants that are being amortized over the life of the service agreements.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company are summarized below.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income or other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which provides guidance on financial accounting and reporting related to goodwill and other intangibles, other than the accounting at acquisition for goodwill and other intangibles acquired in a business combination or an acquisition by a not-for-profit. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. However, the Company early adopted the guidance for fiscal year 2011 and implementation did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In April 2010,  the FASB issued  Accounting  Standard  Update  ("ASU")  2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based  Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations  or cash flows of the  Company. In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No.2010-11, which is included in the Certification under ASC 815. This update clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements.  Only an embedded credit derivative that is related to the subordination of one financial instrument to another qualifies for the exemption.  This guidance became effective for the Company's interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. REVERSE MERGER TRANSACTION WITH TMC

Confirmation of Close of Share Exchange Agreement with TMC
 
On February 28, 2011, WMTN and TMC entered into a Close of Share Exchange Agreement. This Agreement confirmed the closing of the acquisition of TMC by WMTN in a reverse merger transaction whereby the shareholders and board of TMC became the majority holder and acquired operating control of the combined companies.   In connection with this acquisition of TMC by WMTN, several other definitive agreements were entered into, including the sales of unregistered securities.
 
Share Exchange Agreement with TMC

On February 18, 2011, WMTN entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Gregory Schifrin, American Mining Corporation (“AMC”) and James Baughman to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TMC in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock of WMTN, par value of $0.001 per share.

In addition, WMTN issued warrants to the TMC founder investors Gregory Schifrin and James Baughman for 300,000 and 200,000 shares of WMTN common stock, respectively. WMTN issued warrants to other TMC founder investors for 500,000 shares of common stock. The warrants expire February 17, 2014 and are exercisable at $0.001 per share. WMTN agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with regard to the shares and shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants within ninety days on a best efforts basis. On June 13, 2011, the warrants were exercised and 1,000,000 shares of WMTN common stock were issued.

On February 18, 2011, WMTN entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Mining Minerals LLC (owned 60% and 40 % by Gregory Schifrin and James Baughman, respectively) whereby WMTN acquired the claims recorded with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Recording Numbers 2010-000468-0 through 2010-000481-0, recorded on October 19, 2010, in exchange for a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of WMTN. As of February 18, 2011, the Alaska claims are owned by WMTN.

At closing and reflecting the above reverse merger transactions, existing WMTN shareholders and TMC shareholders owned 30.3% and 69.7%, respectively of WMTN.

Other Reverse Merger Agreements

On February 18, 2011, WMTN entered into a Consulting Agreement with WestMountain Asset Management, Inc. (“WASM and WASM Agreement”), a WMTN shareholder. Under the terms of the WASM Agreement, WASM agreed to advise WMTN on the acquisition of TMC, funding of WMTN and strengthening the WMTN balance sheet during the period ending December 31, 2011. WASM received a Warrant for 925,000 shares at $0.001 per share.  WMTN agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with regard to the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant within ninety days on a best efforts basis. On August 15, 2011, WASM exercised a portion of the warrant and 866,000 shares of WMTN common stock were issued
.
Post Merger Equity Transactions

Rescission Agreement with Debenture Holders

During September and October, 2010, TMC issued interest bearing non-secured Debenture Notes totaling $625,000. During November 2010, an additional Debenture Note was issued for $5,000, increasing the total to $630,000.The Debenture Notes had a term of three years and included interest of 12% per year.  The outstanding principal and interest were convertible at a rate of $0.0125 per TMC share.  Upon conversion the related derivative liability of $4,200 was expensed to financing fees.
 
On February 18, 2011, TMC signed a Rescission Agreement with the holders of Debenture Notes (“Debenture Notes”).  TMC rescinded the Debenture Notes by returning the $630,000 invested by the Debenture Holder, plus $30,547 of interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the Debentures Notes.

Stock Purchase Agreement with TMC

On February 18, 2011, WMTN entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with TMC related to the acquisition of Terra Gold Corporation (“TGC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TMC. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, WMTN acquired 100% of TGC by assuming $500,000 in debt plus accrued interest of $7,685 owed to BOCO Investments LLC (“BOCO”).

Conversion of BOCO Demand Promissory Notes (“Notes”)
 
On August 5, 2010, TMC issued a Note to BOCO totaling $100,000.   The Note included interest of 15% per annum and was payable on November 3, 2011.  As part of the consideration for the loan, TMC issued warrants to BOCO to acquire 300,000 shares of TMC common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. These warrants have been forfeited.
 
On December 22, 2010, TMC issued a non-interest bearing Note to BOCO in the amount of $400,000.    As part of the consideration for this loan, TMC issued warrants to BOCO to acquire 800,000 shares of TMC common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. These warrants have been forfeited.
 
On January 12, 2011, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with BOCO. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and BOCO agreed to not exercise their rights under the Notes until the earlier of February 2, 2011, the date of an event of default occurs under the Note or the date the Company fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the Forbearance Agreement.
 
These Notes were assumed by WMTN as payment for its acquisition of TGC discussed above.
 
The acquisition of TMC by WMTN has been accounted for as a reverse acquisitions and recapitalization.  The WMTN assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at historical cost basis as follows:

Pretax losses arising from domestic operations (United States) were approximately $2,340,000 for the year ended October 31, 2011.  Pretax losses arising from foreign operations (Canada) were approximately $144,000, for the year ended October 31, 2011.

Pretax losses arising from domestic operations (United States) were approximately $283, 000 for the period of inceptions from March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2010.  Pretax losses arising from foreign operations (Canada) were approximately $212,000, for the period of inceptions from March 25, 2010 to October 31, 2010.  

The Company has non- US net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $360,000, which expire in 2019-2030 and US of approximately $2,830,000 which expire in 2019-2030. Because it is not more likely than not that sufficient tax earnings will be generated to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards, a corresponding valuation allowance of approximately $1915,000 and $140,000 was established as of October 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. Additionally, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and benefits from, net operating losses may be limited in certain circumstances, including a change in control.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its stock ownership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in the future.

For the period ended October 31, 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate principally due to net operating losses and warrants issued for services.

The principal components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at October 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

    2011     2010  
U.S. operations loss carry forward at statutory rate of 34%
  $ 841,089     $ 96,158  
Non-U.S. operations loss carry forward at statutory rate of 20.5%
    73,801       43,501  
Total
    914,890       139,659

A reconciliation of the United States Federal Statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the period ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
 
 
  2011    
2010

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events, for the purpose of adjustment or disclosure, up through the date the financial statements are available, which is December 20, 2011.

Subsequent to October 31, 2011, the following transactions occurred:

On November 15, 2011, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, a Secured Convertible Promissory Note and a Warrant to Purchase Stock (“Promissory Note Documents”) with BOCO Investments, LLC (“BOCO”), an existing shareholder in the Company.

Under the Promissory Note Documents, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) in the principal amount of $300,000. The Note is due in six months and provides for interest at 12% payable in arrears. The Note and accrued interest are convertible into common or preferred stock at a discounted price at the discretion of BOCO. The Note is secured by a security interest in the Company’s assets to secure the Company’s performance under the Note.  In addition, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $4.00. The Warrant expires November 15, 2021. There are no registration requirements. The Promissory Note Documents place certain operating restrictions on the Company.

The Agreement may be terminated by BOCO under certain conditions. The Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of the Company and BOCO, including customary investment-related representations provided by BOCO, as well as acknowledgements by BOCO that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Company’s issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws.  The Company provided customary representations regarding, among other things, its organization, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  BOCO’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety (to the extent applicable) by the Company’s disclosures in the reports it files with the SEC.  The Company also delivered confidential disclosure schedules qualifying certain of its representations and warranties in connection with executing and delivering the Agreement.

During November and December, 2011, the Company signed Subscription Agreements with six additional Accredited investors for $179,601 and issued 65,310 shares of restricted common stock at $2.75 per share. The restricted common stock does not have registration rights. In addition, the Company issued warrants for 65,310 shares at $4.25 per share. The warrants expire by November and December, 2014 and do not have registration rights. The warrants may be called by the Company if it has registered the sale of the underlying shares with the SEC and a closing price of $4.00 or more for the Company’s common stock has been sustained for five trading days. A notice filing under Regulation D was filed with the SEC on December 13, 2011 with regard to this stock issuance.

On November 13, 2011, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 92,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $4.25 per share to Hinman Au for advisory services.  The warrant expires November 12, 2014 and does not have registration rights. The warrant may be called by the Company if it has registered the sale of the underlying shares with the SEC and a closing price of $4.00 or more for the Company’s common stock has been sustained for five trading days.
