NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

History and Nature of Business - Tintic Gold Mining Company (“the Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 8, 2004 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tintic Gold Mining Company (“Parent”), a Utah corporation, (now known as KIWA Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation).  The Company was founded for the purpose of continuing the exploration of the mining claims transferred to it by Parent.  In 2006 Parent distributed the outstanding shares of the Company to its shareholders pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2006.  

 

As a part of a change in control of the Company in December 2009 and in consideration of the waiver of debt owed by the Company to the previous controlling shareholders, the Company agreed to a put and call agreement wherein the shareholders were given an irrevocable option to acquire the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the mining claims.  The shareholders also granted to the Company an irrevocable option to require the shareholders to accept title to the mining claims at any time during the option period.  The Company exercised the option on February 8, 2010, and transferred all of its mining assets to the previous controlling shareholders.

 

The Company currently has no business assets and no business operations.

 

Financial Statement Presentation. The accompanying financial statements include the prior operations of Parent from its inception of exploration stage activities on December 31, 1997 through the spin-off of the Company, and include the accounts of the Company from its date of incorporation to the date of the financial statements.

 

Development Stage.  On and prior to December 31, 2009, the Company was considered to be an Exploration Stage Company, although, as of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any current mining exploration, development or production activities on its existing properties.  After transferring its mining assets to its prior majority shareholders in February 2010, the Company became a development stage company.

 

Condensed Financial Statements.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the periods then ended have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2011 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly-liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes - The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic No. 740, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. 

 

The Company has no tax positions at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.  The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  All tax years starting with 2008 are open for examination.

 

Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share” [See Note 5].

 

Accounting 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, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimated.

 

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - There were no recently enacted accounting standards that the Company expects to have a material effect on its financial statements for future periods.
