NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

 

Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Golden Phoenix”) is a mineral exploration and development company engaged in acquiring mineral properties with potential production and future growth through exploration discoveries.  Pending requisite funding, our current growth strategy is focused on the expansion of our operations through the development of mineral properties into joint ventures or royalty mining projects.  Our current efforts are focused on our properties in Nevada.

 

The Company was formed in Minnesota on June 2, 1997.  On May 30, 2008, the Company reincorporated in Nevada.  

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of Ra Minerals, Inc. (“Ra Minerals”), a wholly owned subsidiary.  All intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The interim financial information of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited, and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 is derived from audited financial statements.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements.  Accordingly, they omit or condense notes and certain other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting conform with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
