NOTE 1 - Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern

Organization

 

Spartan Gold Ltd., (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on September 6, 2007.

 

On May 21, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control and the Company abandoned its original plan of developing and operating biodiesel facilities to concentrate on gold exploration. Concurrent with the change in control transaction, all related party obligations were settled.

 

On July 8, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Spartan Gold Ltd.  The Company now operates as a U.S. based junior gold exploration company.  The Company is engaged in gold exploration activities on its two Nevada properties.

 

Stock Splits

 

On July 19, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-to-forty forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.

 

On November 9, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.  All common share and per common share data in these consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the reverse stock splits for all periods presented prior to November 9, 2011.  The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

 

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2011 annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 12, 2012.

 

Exploration Stage Company

 

As of July 8, 2010, the Company became an “exploration stage company” as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7, and is subject to compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  For the period from September 6, 2007 (Inception) to July 8, 2010, the Company was a “development stage company” in accordance with ASC Topic 915.  Deficits accumulated prior to becoming an “exploration stage company” have been separately presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  To date, the Company's planned principal operations have not fully commenced.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $382,448 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $18,252,774.  The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $553,324 at June 30, 2012.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues, its ability to continue to raise investment capital, and to implement its business plan.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
