PART I

Item 1. Business

 

We were incorporated on March 2, 2007, under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our current business plan is focused on the acquisition and development of certain mineral properties located in Alaska.

 

On April 5, 2012, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Alix Resources Corp. (“Alix”) for the potential purchase of an option to acquire a 60% ownership interest in certain mineral properties known as the “Golden Zone Property” located in the State of Alaska (the “Property”). The Property is located along the south flank of the Alaska Range 15 miles west of the Parks Highway, approximately halfway between the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks. Alix has the existing option on the Property (the “Underlying Option”) which was entered into in September of 2010 with Hidefield Gold Inc. and Mines Trust Company (collectively the "Owners") whereby Alix can earn up to a 70% interest in the Property.

 

The letter of intent contemplates the sale of an option to us which, when exercised in conjunction with the Underlying Option held by Alix, will result in our ownership of 60% of the Property, with Alix retaining 10% ownership.

 

The letter of intent contemplates the sale of an option to us which, when exercised in conjunction with the Underlying Option held by Alix, will result in our ownership of 60% of the Property, with Alix retaining 10% ownership. In order to maintain our rights under the contemplated option agreement and ultimately exercise the option, the letter of intent contemplates that we will make the following payments:

 

a)pay Alix Resources an amount of CDN $1,000,000 as follows:

 

i)an initial amount of CDN $200,000 upon execution of the Definitive Agreement;
ii)an additional amount of CDN $300,000 on or before that date which is 12 months from the date of the Definitive Agreement; and
iii)the remaining amount of CDN $500,000 on or before that date which is 24 months from the date of the Definitive Agreement;

 

b)fund CDN $3,500,000 in exploration expenditures as follows:

 

i)an initial amount of CDN $1,500,000 on or before that date which is 12 months from the date of the Definitive Agreement; and
ii)the remaining CDN $2,000,000 on or before that date which is 24 months from the date of the Definitive Agreement; and

 

c)assume all payment obligations of the Alix Group under the Underlying Agreement, including but not limited to:

 

i)all outstanding and ongoing cash payments required under Section 2.3 of the Underlying Agreement;
ii)all outstanding and ongoing share issuance obligations under Section 2.3 of the Underlying Agreement, such that Goldspan shall issue securities in its capital in lieu and in replacement of Alix Resources issuing securities in its respective capital;
iii)all cash payment and share issuance obligations under Section 2.8 of the Underlying Agreement, such that Goldspan shall issue securities in its capital in lieu and in replacement of Alix Resources issuing securities in its respective capital; and
iv)all lease payments, taxes or other amounts payable to the State of Alaska or other governmental authorities with respect to the Property.

 

Alix is required to notify the Owners of the Property of the letter of intent. Upon exercise of our option, the Owners will have the option to form a joint venture with us and Alix or sell their remaining 30% interest in the Property in exchange for an overriding perpetual royalty equal to 2.5% of the net smelter returns.

3

 

The letter of intent is non-binding and conditional upon the parties’ entry into a definitive agreement, the completion of our due diligence on the Property, and the approval of the Owners and any necessary regulatory approvals.

 

The letter of intent was to expire on May 15, 2012, provided no definitive agreement was reached between the Parties. On June 22, 2012, Alix and Goldspan agreed to extend the May 15, 2012 deadline to July 15, 2012. On July 16, 2012, the letter of intent was further extended to July 25, 2012. On August 7, 2012, the agreement was extended to August 31, 2012, for a payment of $35,000 which was made on August 4, 2012. By additional letter agreement dated November 30, 2012, there has been a new extension of the letter of intent that requires payment of $300,000 due under the original letter of intent in three installments as follows:

 

·CDN $100,000 on or before December 31, 2012
·CDN $100,000 on or before January 31, 2013; and
·CDN $100,000 on or before February 28, 2013

In addition, the November 30, 2012 extension letter requires that we reimburse Alix for all costs incurred in maintaining the Property from April 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012. These costs total approximately US $203,700, and must be paid on or before February 38, 2013. We have also agreed to reimburse certain other parties in amounts totaling $76,911.34. Finally, in consideration for the latest extension, we issued Alix 5,000,000 shares of common stock.

The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks", as well as volume information. Our shares are quoted on the under the symbol “GSPN.”

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

5

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of December 27, 2012 we had 73,699,631 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 58 shareholders of record.

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;

 

2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We do not have any equity compensation or incentive plans.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Results of Operations for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (March 2, 2007) through July 31, 2012

 

We have not had any revenues since the inception of our business and we earned no revenues during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. We incurred expenses and a net loss in the amount of $45,534 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. Our expenses during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $44,396 and general and administrative expenses of $1,138.

 

We incurred expenses and a net loss in the amount of $178,658 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. Our expenses during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011 included $160,497 for professional fees, $18,000 for management fees, and general and administrative expenses of $161. Our cumulative net loss for the period from inception (March 2, 2007) through July 31, 2012 was $690,155.

 

We expect to continue to incur operating losses until we are able to establish revenues.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of July 31, 2012, we had $727 in current assets consisting entirely of cash, and we had current liabilities of $26,100 consisting of accounts payable of $3,142 and shareholder loans of $22,958. Thus, as of July 31, 2012 we had a working capital deficit of $25,373.

 

We will require significant financing in order to perform the terms of the purchase transaction for the Golden Zone Property as contemplated by the Letter of Intent and its amendments. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue future or expanded operations. We have incurred cumulative net losses of $690,155 since our inception and require capital for our contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. Our ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of our contemplated plan of operations, and our transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for us to continue operations. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any of our accounting policies currently fit this definition.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows, or other reported financial results.

 

Purchase or Sale of Equipment

 

We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment other than those pending acquisitions discussed regarding the Golden Zone Property in Alaska.

 

Personnel

 

We currently have no employees other than our named executive officers. We currently do not have specific plans to increase our number of employees.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of July 31, 2012, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors

Goldspan Resources, Inc.

Vacaville, California

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Goldspan Resources, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from March 2, 2007 (inception) through July 31, 2012. 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 has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goldspan Resources, Inc., as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from March 2, 2007 (inception) through July 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 6 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, has negative working capital, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 6. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

Goldspan Resources, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2007. The Company is engaged in the principal business activity of acquiring and developing mineral properties. 

 

Exploration Stage Company

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration-stage companies. An exploration-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues therefrom.

 

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

 

Accounting Basis

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The Company has adopted a July 31 fiscal year end.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At times, the Company's bank deposits may exceed the insured amount. Management believes it has little risk related to the excess deposits.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and shareholder loans. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Basic Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic Income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of July 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Use of Estimates

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

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations.  Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

 

Advertising Costs

The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising expense during the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Dividends

The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.

 

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to employees.

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock-based compensation issued to consultants and other non-employees.  In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, stock, stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. There were no common shares issued for services during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. There were 18,000,000 common shares valued at $18,000 issued for services during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

No recent accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes.

 

As of July 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2032. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 39% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

 

  July 31, 2012  July 31, 2011
Income tax benefit at statutory rate $17,758   $69,677 
Common stock issued for services  —      (67,540)
Valuation  allowance  (17,758)   (2,137)
Income tax expense per books $—     $—   

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of:

 

  July 31, 2012  July 31, 2011
Net operating loss carryover $(269,160)  $(251,402)
Valuation allowance  269,160    251,402 
Net deferred tax asset $—     $—   

 

It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of July 31, 2012, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

On April 5, 2012, Goldspan entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Alix Resources Corp. (“Alix”) for the potential purchase of an option to acquire a 60% ownership interest in certain mineral properties known as the “Golden Zone Property” located in the State of Alaska (the “Property”). The Property is located along the south flank of the Alaska Range 15 miles west of the Parks Highway, approximately halfway between the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks. Alix has the existing option on the Property (the “Underlying Option”) which was entered into in September of 2010 with Hidefield Gold Inc. and Mines Trust Company (collectively the "Owners") whereby Alix can earn up to a 70% interest in the Property.

 

The letter of intent contemplates the sale of an option to us which, when exercised in conjunction with the Underlying Option held by Alix, will result in our ownership of 60% of the Property, with Alix retaining 10% ownership.

 

The letter of intent was to expire on May 15, 2012 provided no definitive agreement was reached between the Parties. On June 22, 2012, Alix and Goldspan agreed to extend the May 15, 2012 deadline to July 15, 2012. On July 16, 2012, the letter of intent was further extended to July 25, 2012. On August 7, 2012, the agreement was extended to August 31, 2012, and a non-refundable deposit of $35,000 was paid. On December 7, 2012, the letter of intent was further extended, and the following payment schedule was agreed to: a series of three $100,000 (Canadian dollars) payments due December 31, 2012; January 31, 2013; and February 28, 2013. Goldspan also agreed to reimburse Alix no later than February 28, 2013 for costs totaling approximately $203,700 relating to the Gold Zone property. Goldspan also agreed to reimburse Alix $76,811, for amounts due under the Underlying Option. In consideration of Alix granting this extension, Goldspan issued 5,000,000 common shares in December, 2012.

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company’s management has analyzed its operations through the date on which the financial statements were issued, and has determined it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose other than those discussed above.

NOTE 6. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

Goldspan Resources has not generated any revenues, has negative working capital, and has suffered losses from operations. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of Goldspan Resources to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations or acquiring or merging with a profitable company. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirements; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An officer has provided office services without charge. There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein. The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2012.

 

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2012 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

From 1998- 2003, as Director of Wireless at CH2M Hill, he led business case analysis and funding procurement with GE Capital, Bank of America, and Blackstone Associates for regional networks in the U.S., Europe and the Far East for delivery of services over fiber, hybrid fiber-coax and wireless. He then managed their deployment.

 

Prior to this, beginning in 1987, Mr. Stewart worked for US WEST, initially creating platforms to integrate traditional switching with voice units for a variety of solutions including information gateways, resort booking and E911. In 1991 he moved to the PCS group where he pioneered new data-communications technologies for interference-prone wireless communications. This culminated in helping legitimize CDMA IS.95 as the 2nd North American standard with the TR45.3 committee. As Senior Engineer at US WEST Wireless, he helped deploy its 14-state CDMA-based cellular network and led the development and deployment of all data-related services for messaging, Internet access and integrated wireless/landline voice mail.

 

Early in his career, Mr. Stewart designed and coded mainframe operating system software and data communications protocols for a variety of projects, particularly in office automation with ICL in the UK, Philips in Holland and Bell Labs in the U.S. Mr. Stewart holds a B.Sc. in Physics and Applied Maths from St Andrews University, a Ph.D. in low-temperature semiconductor technology, an M.Ed. in Education and an M.S. in Systems Analysis and Design.

 

Robert Carey was appointed Director and Vice President of Marketing on December 5, 2012. For the last decade, Mr. Carey has been a strategic consultant and principal partner for several start-up projects, with a heavy focus on environmentally friendly technologies and products. Over his career Mr. Carey has been responsible for raising several million dollars in investment capital. He has also helped pioneer several new technologies in heavy metal extraction and waste cleanup. With a thorough background in computer systems and software, Mr. Carey has been able to turn his knowledge to advantage in devising ways of automating existing manual processes.

 

Mr. Carey currently has a network of clients and former clients throughout the globe, maintaining an excellent record of integrity and follow-through. Through his research and investigative efforts, Mr. Carey has consistently provided key solutions which have helped many of his clients avoid costly missteps.

 

Early in his career, Mr. Carey gained valuable financial experience at a Wall Street brokerage house where he honed his skills in evaluating new opportunities in the high-tech arena. Mr. Carey attended NYU and community college for computer science and has had extensive formal and informal training on a variety of computer systems.

 

Ron Ruby was appointed Director on December 5, 2012. He has over 20 years of experience in the Heavy Equipment Industry. From humble beginnings in the parts warehouse, quickly moving up through Sales/Rental Management for the same dealership in Montana, to managing an excavation company in Wyoming, to starting his own heavy equipment sales and rental company, Equipment Trucks, Inc. (“ETI”) in 2002, he understands how to motivate staff at every level to maintain the highest levels of customer satisfaction. Currently, he services a number of mining clients both domestically and internationally. As a result, Mr. Ruby and his team have grown ETI from a small, local equipment dealer to a company that has repeat customers across the United States as well as in all corners of the world.

 

His knowledge and relationships in the heavy equipment industry, as well as his experience building and managing large construction and heavy equipment companies, will serve Goldspan well as it readies itself for actual production of gold and other precious minerals.

 

There are no family relationships among any of our current or former directors or executive officers.

 

Directors

 

Our bylaws authorize no less than one (1) director. We currently have five Directors including the Chairman of the Board.

 

Term of Office

 

Our Directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

11

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by the Company to become directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Committees of the Board

 

We do not currently have a compensation committee, executive committee, or stock plan committee.

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor. Our Board of Directors, which performs the functions of an audit committee, does not have a member who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition of Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Nomination Committee

 

Our Board of Directors does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no written charter governs the director nomination process. Our size and the size of our Board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee.

 

When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:

 

- The appropriate size of our Board of Directors;

- Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;

- The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;

- Experience in political affairs;

- Experience with accounting rules and practices; and

- The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.

 

Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

12

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our stockholders. In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.

 

Code of Ethics

 

As of July 31, 2012, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Currently, our compensation system consists only of limited cash compensation paid to those officers and directors who are primarily responsible for the daily operations of the company. The objective of the cash compensation paid by the company is to provide fair reimbursement for the time spent by our executive officers to the extent feasible within the financial constraints faced by our developing business.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of December 27, 2012 by (1) all persons who are beneficial owners of 5% or more of our voting securities, (2) each director, (3) each executive officer, and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of capital stock as to which such person, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power or investment power, and to beneficially own any shares of our capital stock as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The percentage of beneficial ownership as to any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing (a) (i) the number of shares beneficially owned by such person plus (ii) the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days by (b) the total number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus any shares that such person has the right to acquire from us within 60 days. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.

 

Except as otherwise indicated, all Shares are owned directly and the percentage shown is based on 73,699,631 Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 27, 2012.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Except as provided below, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction over the last two years or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.

 

  1. David Hedderly-Smith currently serves as a director of Alix Resources Corp. As discussed above, we are party to a letter of intent with Alix Resources Corp. regarding the potential purchase of an option to acquire a 60% ownership interest in certain mineral properties known as the “Golden Zone Property” located in the State of Alaska.

Director Independence

 

We are not a “listed issuer” within the meaning of Item 407 of Regulation S-K and there are no applicable listing standards for determining the independence of our directors. Applying the definition of independence set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., we believe Ron Ruby is an independent director.
