TAP RESOURCES, INC

 (An Exploration Stage Company)
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Fresh Start Private Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 1, 2006. On July 31, 2012 the Company changed its name to TAP RESOURCES, INC.  We are an exploration stage company, with a mining exploration project (the “Marowijine Project”) in the Republic of Suriname that has not realized any revenues to date.

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the ‘Share Exchange Agreement”) which resulted in a Reverse Takeover with selling stockholders named in the prospectus, pursuant to which the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock to all the stockholders of Infinity Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Infinity”), incorporated in the State of Nevada, on April 27, 2012. The acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Tap Resources, Inc with Infinity Resources, Inc as the accounting acquirer in accordance with the Reverse Merger rules.  As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement Infinity became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the mineral exploration business of Infinity is now the primary business of the Company.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going concern

To date the Company has generated no revenues from its business operations and has incurred operating losses since inception of $30,169.  As at August 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $149,287.  The Company requires additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company intends to continue to fund its mineral exploration business by way of private placements and advances from related parties as may be required. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Unaudited Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended August 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending November 30, 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260,” “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As the company does not have any dilutive shares outstanding as on August 31, 2013, the accompanied financial statements present only basic loss per share.

Income Taxes
 
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB accounting standards for Accounting for Income Taxes and Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

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

Mineral Property Expenditures

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with FASB ASC 930-805, “Extractive Activities-Mining,” when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures.  Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met.  In the event that mineral property acquisition costs are paid with Company shares, those shares are recorded at the estimated fair value at the time the shares are due in accordance with the terms of the property agreements.

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre-feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.
 
 
9

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only property option payments and exploration costs which have been expensed.

To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.

Asset Retirement Obligations
 
In accordance with accounting standards for asset retirement obligations (ASC 410), the Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated. No ARO’s associated with legal obligations to retire oil and gas properties have been recognized, as indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the associated ARO. The Company performs periodic reviews of its oil and gas properties long-lived assets for any changes in facts and circumstances that might require recognition of a retirement obligation.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The estimated fair values of financial instruments were determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash approximate their fair value because of their short maturities.

Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees based on FASB accounting standard for Share Based Payment. It requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). It requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of the FASB accounting standard includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

As at August 31, 2013, the Company had no stock-based compensation plans nor had it granted any stock options.  Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.

Recent pronouncements
 
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION - INFINITY RESOURCES, INC.

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the ‘Share Exchange Agreement”), which resulted in a Reverse Takeover,  with selling stockholders named in the prospectus, pursuant to which the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock to all the stockholders of Infinity Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Infinity”), on a pro rata basis based upon their respective beneficial ownership interest in Infinity Resources, Inc., as consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Infinity held by all the stockholders of Infinity. (Refer Note 7)

As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement Infinity became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the mineral exploration business of Infinity is now the primary business of the Company, and the stockholders of Infinity immediately prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement now hold approximately 99.6% of the shares of common stock of the Company.

NOTE 4 – MAROWIJNE RIVER – MINERAL RIGHTS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

NOTE 6 – LOANS PAYABLE

On November 1, 2012, two former officers forgave all debts owing to them by the Company for all advances/shareholders loans totalling $36,896.  All these sums are reflected as a credit to additional-paid-in-capital.

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the ‘Share Exchange Agreement”) with selling stockholders named in the prospectus, pursuant to which the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock to all the stockholders of Infinity Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Infinity”).  As a result of the Reverse Merger with Infinity Resources Inc., Tap Resources, Inc. carried forward 280,920 commons shares, valued at $156,105 in net liabilities assumed of Tap Resources, Inc. prior to September 12, 2012.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
OVERVIEW
 
Tap Resources, Inc. (formerly Fresh Start Private Holdings, Inc.) ("Tap Resources" the "Company," "we," "us")  was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 1, 2006. On July 31, 2012 the Company changed its name to TAP RESOURCES, INC.  We are an exploration stage company, with a mining exploration project (the “Marowijine Project”) in the Republic of Suriname that has not realized any revenues to date.
 
On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the ‘Share Exchange Agreement”) which resulted in a Reverse Takeover with selling stockholders named in the prospectus, pursuant to which the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock to all the stockholders of Infinity Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Infinity”), incorporated in the State of Nevada, on April 27, 2012. The Company did not generate any revenue during the period ended August 31, 2013.
 
The Company obtained its rights in the Marowijne Property by way of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Infinity”), which entered into a Mineral Right Partnership Agreement (the “Mineral Right Partnership Agreement”) dated May 30, 2012 by and between Infinity and Surmi Company N.V., a Surniame “naamloze vennootschap” or “public company” (“Surmi Company”), and Infinity. Under the Mineral Right Partnership Agreement, as amended, Surmi Company granted to Infinity, the exclusive right and option (the “Property Option”) to acquire an undivided 100% of the right, title and interest in and to the mineral claim, titled GMD No. 484/10, underlying the Marowijne Property. The holder of the mineral claim, titled GMD No. 484/10, underlying the Marowijne Property, has the right to explore for gold the subject of mineral claim GMD No. 484/10.
 
In order to have the right to exercise its Property Option, Infinity must incur exploration expenditures of not less than US $225,000 on or before December 31, 2013, not less than $125,000 on or before December 31, 2014. Additionally, Infinity must pay to Surmi Company US $25,000 per annum for so long as Surmi Company holds any interest in the mineral claim underlying the Marowijne Property. If and when Infinity exercises its option, then Infinity must pay a royalty of 10% of net proceeds from mining activity to Surmi Company bi-annually and within 30 days after the end of the second and fourth quarters. As of the date of this Form 10-K, Infinity is in compliance with the terms of the Mineral Right Partnership Agreement.
 
Mineral claim GMD No. 484/10, underlying the Marowijne Property is in good standing until October 14, 2013. The claim is registered in the name of Surmi Company.
 
We engaged Dr. Dennis LaPoint, a registered professional geologist, to prepare a preliminary N.I. 43-101 to prepare a geological evaluation report on the Marowijne Property. Dr. LaPointe is a registered Geologist in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, and he holds a B.Sc in geology from the University of Iowa, a Masters of Science degree from the University of Montana and a PhD in geology from the University of Colorado.
 
Dr. LaPoint has retained an advisor, Eriaan Wirosono, to oversee on-site exploration of the Marowijne Property. Work completed by Mr. Wirosono to date includes preparing the geological report of a review of geological data from previous exploration within the region around the Marowijne Property. The acquisition of this data involved the research and investigation of historical files to locate and retrieve data information acquired by previous exploration companies in the area of the mineral claims.
 
We received the geological evaluation report on the Marowijne Property entitled “Marowijne Property Review Report” prepared by Mr. Wirosono on September 11, 2012. The geological report summarizes the results of the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological formations identified as a result of the prior exploration. The geological report also gives conclusions regarding potential mineralization of the mineral claims and recommends a further geological exploration program on the mineral claims. The description of the Marowijne Property provided below is based on Mr. Wirosono’s report.

Results of Operations
 
Total expenses in the three month period ended August 31, 2013 were $6,043 as compared to total expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2012 of $380 resulting in an operating loss for the fiscal quarter of $6,043 as compared to an operating loss of $380 For the three months ended August 31, 2012. The increase in operating loss for the period is a result of Office and general expense of $nil, Filing fees of $1,706, Transfer agent expense of $137 and Professional fees in the amount of $4,200 as compared to Office and general expense of $nil, Filing fees of $380, Transfer agent expense of $nil and Professional fees in the amount of $nil for the three months ended August 31, 2012.
 
Total expenses in the nine month period ended August 31, 2013 were $21,609 as compared to total expenses from April 27, 2012 (inception) to August 31, 2012 of $1,899 resulting in an operating loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2013 of $21,609 as compared to an operating loss of $1,899 from inception to August 31, 2012. The increase in operating loss for the period is a result of Office and general expense of nil, Filing fees of $3,487, Transfer agent expense of $672 and Professional fees in the amount of $17,450 as compared to Office and general expense of $19, Filing fees of $1,880, Transfer agent expense of $nil and Professional fees in the amount of $nil from inception to August 31, 2012.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of August 31, 2013, the Company had $969 in cash, Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of 100,254 and Advances from related party of $50,002. To date the Company has generated no revenues from its business operations and has incurred operating losses since inception (April 27, 2012) of $30,169.  As at August 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $127,678.  The Company requires additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations, to fund anticipated operating losses and to continue its exploration of the Marowijne Property.

The Company has received $50,002 as a loan from two shareholders of the Company. The loans ($48,092 and $1,910) are unsecured, payable on demand and bear no interest. On November 1, 2012, two former officers forgave all debts owing to them by the Company for all advances/shareholders loans totalling $36,896.  All these sums are reflected as a credit to additional-paid-in-capital.
 
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues since inception and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on our property. Our only other source of cash at this time is advances from our officer and director and investments by others through loans or sale of our common equity.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  The Company intends to continue to fund its mineral exploration business by way of private placements and advances from related parties as may be required.
 
We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from financing activities will be insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. We expect to incur exploration and administrative expenses as well as professional fees and other expenses associated with maintaining our SEC filings. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our exploration activities, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
 
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
 
We do not anticipate hiring any employees.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As of August 31, 2013 management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, our Principle Executive Officer who also serves as our Principle Financial Officer concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of , 2013 and communicated to our management.
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in material misstatement in its financial statements in future periods.
 
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
 
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
