BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying reviewed financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and item 310 under subpart A of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal occurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

NOTE 1 - OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Western Exploration, Inc. (the Company), an exploration stage company, was incorporated on July 22, 2003 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The Company is an exploration stage mining and mineral company. On October 30, 2003 the Company became actively engaged in acquiring mineral properties, raising capital, and preparing properties for production. The Company did not have any significant mining operations or activities from inception; accordingly, the Company is deemed to be in the exploration stage.

 

On January 30, 2004, the Company acquired mineral claims located in Southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The property consists thirty six mineral claims representing. The Company has not commenced economic production and is therefore still considered to be in the exploration stage.

 

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of the mineral properties and other assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses of from inception. The Company has not realized economic production from its mineral properties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to actively seek additional sources of capital to fund current and future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuing to raise additional capital, establishing probable or proven reserves, or determining if the mineral properties can be mined economically. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement reporting. Revenues and expenses are recognized in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for the industry. Certain period expenses are recorded when obligations are incurred.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent 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 results.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company’s management determines if a valuation allowance is necessary to reduce any tax benefits when the available benefits are more likely than not to expire before they can be used.

 

 

F-6

 



 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (SFAS 123), which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 requires that companies either recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments based on fair value or provide pro-forma disclosure of the effect on net income and earnings per share in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The Company has adopted SFAS 123 in accounting for stock-based compensation.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. No material translations or transactions have occurred. Upon the occurrence of such material transactions or the need for translation adjustments, the Company will adopt Financial Accounting Standard No. 52 and other methods in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), “Earnings Per Share”. SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares for the period.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which require operating leases to be expensed and capital leases to be capitalized and amortized over the lease term. Leased mining properties under capital leases are expensed until such time that an engineering study has been completed showing proven mining reserves.

 

NOTE 3 - AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

 

Significant relationships with (1) companies affiliated through common ownership and/or management, and (2) other related parties are as follows:

 

The Company, from time to time, uses funds provided as a loan by shareholders.

 

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards for financial statement and federal income tax purposes. These loss carryforwards expire if not used within 20 year from the year generated. The Company’s management has decided a valuation allowance is necessary to reduce any tax benefits because the available benefits are more likely than not to expire before they can be used.

 

NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT

 

The Company has no long-term debt.

Organization

 

We were organized as a Delaware Corporation on July 22, 2003 for the purpose of developing a potentially large limestone occurrence in the British Columbia area of Canada.

 

Overview

 

In October 2003, we commenced a study of potential business opportunities in British Columbia. We engaged G.E. Nicholson P.Geo. of Nicholson & Associates solely to assist us in locating and reviewing potential mining projects in the British Columbia area. Mr. Nicholson did not provide any reports on any properties that we reviewed. After we had reviewed and rejected a number of potential property candidates, we acquired a large undeveloped occurrence of limestone located adjacent to the Lower Mainland region of South Western British Columbia (BC). The Mount McGuire limestone occurrence is located 17 km south east of the community of Chilliwack which lies in the eastern Fraser Valley. Our President, Peter Banysch has been working with Victor Bowman since January when Mr. Bowman joined our Board of Directors to develop a business concept to extract the limestone and market it to local communities.

 

We reviewed the available information on the following items:

 

(a) Project and Market:

 

 

o

Research material assembled by Nicholson & Associates on exploration projects the South West region of British Columbia.

 

o

B.C. limestone market o Fraser Valley limestone market

 

o

Transportation facilities in the Fraser Valley

 

(b)

Projected growth in the Fraser Valley of the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia.

 

(c)

Potential development scenario for the Mount McGuire limestone material.

 

(d)

Phased exploration plan and budget to prove the necessary tonnage and grade of the limestone material.

(e)

Visit to the Mount McGuire property with consulting geologist, Mr. Laurence Stephenson P.Geo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Based on its due diligence, management determined that the Mount McGuire limestone occurrence could potentially be very large and the limestone occurrence could contain 500,000 to 1,000,000 tonnes of high grade limestone. This tonnage range will be the Initial Quarry. The tonnage figures were estimated in gross terms based on a physical visual evidence of the limestone occurrence and we can not determine at this time if this amount is accurate. We also can not determine if we will be able to profitably produce and market this tonnage. The local Fraser Valley is predicted to have a steady population growth rate over the next 17 years and could use annually 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes of high grade limestone in the construction, cement and agriculture industries.

 

Exploration stage expenses from inception through June 30, 2005 were $32,000 for general exploration costs related to the mineral rights of the exploration property and $62,943 of general and administrative costs for a total expense of $94,943 as captioned in the financial statement’s statement of operations. Included in the exploration expense was $12,000 of cash paid on the initial payment for the property and no money was spent on further evaluation of the property. These fees were in furtherance of Phase I to purchase and evaluate a property. Fees were incurred in the start-up costs of our company as well as the fees to prepare our audited financial statements and this registration statement. These fees were included in the general and administrative expense as discussed earlier in this paragraph.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Western Exploration’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, Western Exploration’s views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on Western Exploration’s consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

 

Item 3.

Controls and Procedures

 

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively the “Certifying Officers”) maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule [13a-14(c)/15d-14(c)] under the Exchange Act) within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relative to our company required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC.

 

 



 

 

 

(b)

Changes in internal controls.

 

Our Certifying Officer has indicated that there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of his evaluation, and there were no such control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
