Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure

Focus Gold Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on December 23, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Real Estate Referral Center Inc. On April 21, 2009, the Company changed its name to Gold Bag, Inc. and, effective June 6, 2011, to Focus Gold Corporation. In October 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement with Victoria Gold Inc. for the right to explore and purchase mineral claims located in Ontario, Canada and since that time the Company’s principal business has been the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.  During the quarter ended November 30, 2013, the Company began discussions of forming a joint venture relating to a copper mine operation in Mexico, which it continues to pursue.  In addition, during the quarter ended November 30, 2013, the company also developed a plan to expand its business operations to include the operation and acquisition of receivables management companies in order to generate positive cash flow in the short term, to augment expected future revenues from its existing operations. That new operation commenced in December 2013 with the acquisition of a 55 percent interest in two subsidiaries, Focus Gold Financial Corp., a Florida corporation, and Focus Gold Commercial Resolution, Inc., also a Florida corporation.  The former will focus on retail collections activities and the latter, on commercial collections.  The two subsidiaries have opened offices in upstate New York, near Buffalo, have engaged employees and commenced business operations and have begun generating operating revenues as of January, 2014.  Once the basic operating models are in place, the Company plans to begin roll-up acquisitions in both the retail and commercial receivables management markets.

The Company has been considered an exploration stage company and its financial statements are presented in a manner similar to a development stage company as defined in FASC 915-10-05, and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7.  As at February 28, 2013, the Company disposed of all of its then existing mineral properties and the Company has initiated steps to restructure itself and engaged an outside consultant to identify, review, and assess additional mineral properties for purchase. The Company has developed a private equity strategy to acquire gold mining properties following several key investment criteria that include: properties that are in safe governmental jurisdictions primarily in the Americas; properties that provide geographic diversification across its portfolio; projects with significant exploration upside; and, where possible, properties with existing capable management teams to which it can then provide senior level experienced management oversight.  Once a property has matured, the Company will seek to divest the property either through a strategic sale or through a spin-off into a stand-alone public company.

Nature of Operations This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. This condensed consolidated summary should be read in conjunction with the disclosure of accounting policies in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013
Use of Estimates, Policy

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements 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 amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of impairment of mineral properties and equipment, useful lives for amortization, valuation allowances for future income tax assets, fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation and reclamation and environmental obligations. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates.

Going Concern Note

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,586,641 during the nine month period ended November 30, 2013, and has an accumulated deficit of $20,401,788 since entry into the exploration stage. Additionally, the Company is in default of various notes with principal amounts aggregating $363,410. The Company changed its principal business to the development and exploitation of mineral properties in October 2010, but has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and or a debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
