Note 1  Basis of Presentation

While the information presented in the accompanying October 31, 2014 interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s April 30, 2014 audited financial statements (notes thereto) included in the Company’s Form S-1.

Operating results for the six months ended October 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending April 30, 2015.

Note 2  Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada, United States of America on April 9, 2014.  The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties.  The Company’s year-end is April 30.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.  Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company has yet to achieve profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $40,600 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing from shareholders or other sources to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available or on acceptable terms, if at all.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the company cannot continue in existence.

Note 3  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in US dollars.  Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which may have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Note 3  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and ORC Exploration LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Nevada, USA on May 8, 2014.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash

Cash consists of all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash within 90 days when purchased.

Mineral Property

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, “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.

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.

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

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset, are recognized as liabilities in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated assets. The cost of tangible long-lived assets, including the initially recognized ARO, is amortized, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the assets.  The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted fair value is accreted to the expected settlement value.

Note 3  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

Asset Retirement Obligations - (cont’d)

The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.  As of October 31, 2014 the Company has determined no provision for ARO’s is required.

Impairment of Long- Lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  The assets are subject to impairment consideration under FASB ASC 360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.  When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-0 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar as substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the USA. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income account in Stockholder’s Equity, if applicable.  Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date.  Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Note 3  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)

Earnings per share

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method.  Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.  

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No 2014-10.  This update eliminated the definition of an exploration stage Company from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between exploration stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP.  The Company has adopted this new guidance retroactively to May 1, 2014 as permitted.  As a result the Company no longer has the obligation to disclose an accounting policy for its exploration stage activities, nor is it required to present inception to date information in the statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and the statement of stockholders equity (deficit).

The Company has reviewed all other pronouncements and does not expect any other pronouncements to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Note 4  Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.  Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Note 4  Financial Instruments - (cont’d)

Level 3 - inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities in management’s opinion approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments.  These financial assets and liabilities are valued using level 3 inputs, except for cash which is at level 1.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Note 5  Mineral Property

On May 20, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ORC Exploration Ltd (“ORC”) entered into a property option agreement whereby ORC was granted an option to earn up to an 100% interest in the Elizabeth mineral claim #1028302”.  The Elizabeth claim is located in the Omineca mining district of the Province of British Columbia Canada, and comprises 518 hectares.

Consideration for the option consists of cash payments totalling US $11,150, of which US $1,150 is payable upon the execution of the agreement (paid) and US $10,000 is due on or before April 30, 2017.

Note 6  Related Party Transactions

On April 30, 2014, the Company received and accepted a subscription to purchase 1,800,000 common shares at $0.0075 per share for aggregate proceeds of $13,500 from the Company’s president.  The subscription agreement permitted the Company to accept 180,000 Mexican Peso’s in full settlement of the share subscription.  The share subscription was settled in Mexican Peso’s.  

On April 28, 2014, the Company President loaned $22,000 to the Company and the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $22,000.  The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum, and matures on December 31, 2018.  During the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2014 the Company charged interest expense of $323 and $663 respectively pursuant to this note payable.  Total accrued interest on this note as of October 31, 2014 was $663.

On October 28, 2014, the Company President loaned $5,000 to the Company and the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $5,000.  The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum, and matures on December 31, 2018.  During the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2014, the Company charged interest expense of $2 pursuant to this note payable.  Total accrued interest on this note as of October 31, 2014 was $2.

Item 2. 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 effect 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are an exploration stage mineral exploration company. We were incorporated in Nevada on April 9, 2014.  On May 8, 2014, we incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, ORC Exploration LLC in the state of Nevada, for the purposes of mineral exploration. On May 20, 2014, our consulting geologist introduced us to an attractive mineral property. We acquired an option on that property whereupon we can acquire 100% legal and beneficial ownership interest in the Elizabeth mineral claim (hereafter the “Mineral Claim”). The Mineral Claim is located in the Ominica Mining District located in the central part of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It is located on provincial lands administered by the Province of British Columbia.  The legal and ownership rights on the claim are limited to the exploration and extraction of mineral deposits subject to applicable regulations.  The Mineral Claim totals roughly 1,300 acres or 2.03 square miles in size and is located approximately 59 miles northeast of the community of Fort St. James, British Columbia.

We have no proven or probable reserves of commercially viable mineral deposits on our Mineral Claim. Our ongoing exploration activities may include numerous costly exploration phases and we may never find commercially viable mineral deposits on our Mineral Claim. Were we to locate sizable mineral deposits on our Mineral Claim, we would commission an economic feasibility study prior to our development of the mineral deposit. The development of a viable mineral deposit could cost millions of dollars.

The Mineral Claim comprises a rectangular shaped block of land of approximately 1.5 miles long by 1.3 miles wide and is located along the Pinchi Fault Zone. Historic exploration work shows that the claims are located within an area that has potential for copper mineralization.

The budget for our initial exploration program is as follows:

Initial Exploration Budget

*This figure only represents the rental cost of the handheld unit; it does not include any charges related to interpretation of the data collected.

Our overall operating budget for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2015 consists of planned expenditures for our initial mineral exploration program, as described above, and for necessary legal and accounting expenses.  

Management’s estimate of our planned expenditures by category and by quarter for the next fiscal year are set forth below:

Our initial mining exploration program, which was originally scheduled for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending April 15, 2015, has been delayed until the fourth quarter due to forest fire concerns.

We have not identified commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on our Mineral Claim to date.  We are an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that commercially viable minerals quantities exist on our Mineral Claim.

Results of Operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2014.

We have not earned any revenues since the inception of our current business operations. We incurred expenses and a net loss in the amount of $22,376 for the three months ended October 31, 2014. Our expenses consisted of audit and accounting fees of $3,353, bank charges of $126, consulting fees of $12,000 paid with respect to DTC eligibility, a $6 loss on foreign exchange, legal fees of $3,799, office expenses of $750, transfer and filing fees of $2,377, and interest expense of $325.  We incurred expenses and a net loss in the amount of $39,112 for the six months ended October 31, 2014. Our expenses for the six month period consisted of audit and accounting fees of $9,553, bank charges of $326, consulting fees of $12,050, a $3 loss on foreign exchange, legal fees of $8,982, office expenses of $1,500, exploration costs of $2,000, transfer and filing fees of $4,033, and interest expense of $665.

Our losses are attributable to operating expenses together with a lack of any revenues. Now that our public offering has been completed, we anticipate our legal and accounting expenses will decline, while our exploration expenses will increase when we undertake our initial exploration plan for the Mineral Claim.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2014, we had total current assets of $8,915, consisting of cash in the amount of $6,415 and prepaid expenses of $2,500. We had current liabilities of $500 as of October 31, 2014.  Accordingly, we had working capital of $8,415 as of October 31, 2014.

On April 28, 2014 our sole officer and director loaned the Company $22,000 which is evidenced by a Promissory Note in the amount of $22,000 with interest accruing on the principal amount at 6% per annum and due on December 31, 2018.

On October 28, 2014 our sole officer and director loaned the Company $5,000 which is evidenced by a Promissory Note in the amount of $5,000 with interest accruing on the principal amount at 6% per annum and due on December 31, 2018.

Our sole officer and Director, Mr. Montes, has offered to fund our basic legal and accounting compliance expenses through additional infusions of equity or debt capital on an as-needed basis, although he is under no legal obligation to provide funding.  This offer is not the subject of a formal written agreement with us, and there are no specific limits as to time or dollar amount.

As outlined above, we expect to spend approximately $19,825 toward the initial implementation of our business plan over the course of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2015. Consequently we will have to raise more money to complete our initial exploration program.

Beyond the current fiscal year, we will also require significant additional capital in order to conduct additional phases of exploration on the Mineral Claim and, if warranted by the geological results, to undertake commercial mineral production on our mineral claims following completion of exploration activities.  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

As discussed in the notes to our financial statements, we have no established source of revenue.  This has raised substantial doubt for our auditors about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

Our activities to date have been supported by equity financing.  Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of October 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

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. Currently, we do not believe that any accounting policies fit this definition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of October 31, 2014. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Jose Montes. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2014.

Management determined that the material weaknesses that resulted in controls being ineffective are primarily due to lack of resources and number of employees. Material weaknesses exist in the segregation of duties required for effective controls and various reconciliation and control procedures not regularly performed due to the lack of staff and resources.

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 Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error.   Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
