ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Overview

We were formed in the State of Delaware on October 15, 2007.  On October 15, 2007, we completed a holding company reorganization with Dicut Holdings, Inc. (“Dicut”) pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Dicut previously operated in the information technology business, but ceased operations in 2005.

On September 14, 2007, Goldcorp Holdings Co. (“Goldcorp”) acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres.  In 2007, Goldcorp also acquired 70 lease claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, each of which covers approximately 20 acres, or approximately 1,400 acres in total.  In 2008, Goldcorp decided not to renew 26 of the lease claims after it concluded that the land underlying the lease claims was not necessary to mine the area.  

On October 11, 2007, we entered into a lease agreement with Goldcorp, under which we leased Goldcorp’s owned and leased acreage on War Eagle Mountain, Idaho.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on the land, and we are obligated to make annual lease payments of $1,000,000 per year payable monthly, a nonaccountable expense allowance of $10,000 per month for any month in which ore is mined from the property, and a royalty of 15% from any proceeds we receive from a smelter of ore produced from land.  Pierre Quilliam, our chairman and chief executive officer, is also the chairman and chief executive officer of Goldcorp.

On September 21, 2008, we acquired from Mineral Extraction, Inc. all mineral, mining and access rights to two mining claims on War Eagle Mountain, covering 18.877 total acres, as well as claims for four mill site locations and the Sinker Tunnel location.  

History of Mining on War Eagle Mountain

War Eagle Mountain is one of three peaks in Southwest Idaho that form a contiguous fault trend, and which have all produced minerals from the same veins:  Delamar Mountain, Florida Mountain, and War Eagle Mountain.

In the summer of 1862, the Oro Fino Vein on top of War Eagle Mountain was discovered.  During 1863 a number of lode claims were located and mining in earnest began.  By the end of 1875 a total of ten shafts had been sunk in the Oro Fino Vein ranging in depth from 300 feet to 1,250 feet. The Oro Fino Shaft at the North end is 300 feet deep and the Mahogany Shaft at the South end is 1,100 feet deep. The Golden Chariot and Ida Elmore shafts are 1,250 feet and 1,000 feet respectively.  

By 1866, all the major mines in the area had been discovered and were being developed. The major mines were the Oro Fino, Cumberland, Poorman, Ida Elmore, Golden Chariot, Minnesota, Mahogany and the Morning Star in Silver City.  There were 12 mills in the area with a total of 132 stamps to pulverize the ore, separate the metal from the rock and pour the raw metal into lager rectangular bricks of bullion. This bullion was then shipped out of the area, sometimes as far away as Europe, for refining into pure gold and silver.  By the end of 1875, approximately 750,000 ounces of gold equivalent were reportedly extracted from the shafts on War Eagle Mountain.


- -3-


In August 1875, a financial panic that had started in New York in 1873, culminated with the San Francisco bank crash, and then the closure of the San Francisco Stock Exchange. A nationwide depression occurred, which resulted in source of working capital for the mines drying up. The miners continued to work without pay until October 1875, when they left the mountain for employment elsewhere.  During the winter of 1875-1876, because the mine was not being used, the shafts filled with water.  This condition has existed for the past 131 years, which has resulted in the preservation of these historical vein systems without being disturbed by intruders or miners.

From 1875 through 1899, mining men who had managed and worked in the underground mines and milling operations tried to promote a project that would allow them to recover the remaining submerged gold and silver reserves they knew existed.  Finally, in November 1899, American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) funded the Sinker Tunnel Project. The project objective was to drive a 10 x 10 tunnel from Sinker Creek on the North-East side of War Eagle Mountain, at an elevation of 5200 feet, approximately 2,000 feet below the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft. This tunnel was named the Sinker Tunnel, and its intended use was to drain water out of War Eagle Mountain and to haul ore mined from the veins to the surface for milling.  The cost of the project was about $250,000 (or the equivalent of $25,000,000 today).

It was anticipated that the Sinker Tunnel would intersect the Oro Fino Vein at about 7,000 feet from the tunnel portal.  The Oro Fino Vein was actually intersected at 6,890 feet in May 1902.  After the Sinker Tunnel was extended north about 80 feet, a raise was started upwards toward the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft.  When this raise reached 620 feet in height it was only 150 feet below the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft, which contained about 1,100 feet of water.  At this point the amount of water permeating down into the raise was increasing every day, which caused the miners to become anxious about their safety, and raised concerns as to how ASARCO would punch the final hole into the bottom of the Golden Chariot shaft.  They miners raised concerns with the Idaho Inspector of Mines about the working conditions and their concerns, which resulted in the Idaho Inspector of Mines sto pping any further work in the area until safety measures were implemented.  At that time, ASARCO elected to close the project down, and return later if conditions changed, which never happened.  

During 1932 and 1933, some additional exploration tunnels were driven to the north and to the south from the raise.  In 1941, salvagers opened the Sinker Tunnel and removed all the steel rail and pipe scrap for the war effort. Shortly thereafter, a landslide completely buried the tunnel under 50 feet or more of earth and rock, and the Sinker Tunnel complex was forgotten.

In 1994, Mineral Extraction, Inc., the current owner at the time, rediscovered the location of the tunnel and over several years refurbished the Sinker Tunnel complex, with the exception of the upper four levels of the raise, nearest the bottom of the Golden Chariot shaft.  The entrance was excavated, and a permanent structure was built to protect the site.  In addition, the entire length of the Sinker Tunnel was restored.  The roads to the Sinker Tunnel Complex were upgraded to allow 25-ton trucks access to the site, and an area 300x400 feet was prepared to act as a staging area at the 7,350 foot level.

The mines on War Eagle Mountain were very productive in the first few years because the surface deposits were of extraordinary richness. As the mines got deeper the veins had a smaller yet more consistent amount of ore in relation to the amount of rock that needed to be removed to expose it. Generally, the value of ore per ton of rock removed remained consistent from a depth of 150 feet to as deep as any of the mines were worked. This would indicate that the extensions of the veins into the deeper levels, not yet reached by the mine shafts, would contain the same percentage of metal ore.


- -4-


The mines became more expensive to develop and operate as they got deeper. This was not due to a decline in the yield per ton, but due to the increased cost of lifting the mineral ore and of removing water from deeper shafts.  The removal of ground water in mines is a persistent expense that must be addressed on a daily basis. When a mine doesn't have a lower working level tunnel – like the Sinker Tunnel Complex – that intersects a vertical shaft, the water must be brought to the surface and disposed of no matter what the expense or technical inconvenience if the mine is to continue operating. This increased cost of mining at depth was one of the most significant problems for the mines on War Eagle Mountain.

Description of Mining Properties

The War Eagle-Florida-Delamar Mountain trend is an east to west continuum with very tight high grade silver and gold mineralization to the east and increasing volume and decreasing grade to the west. The three peaks all show the same veins.  Kinross Gold Corporation purchased Florida and Delamar Mountains, and Delamar Mountain, the western most of the three, had been successfully open pit mined from 1977 to the late 1990s.

The principal Oro Fino Vein can be described by thinking of War Eagle Mountain as a loaf of bread that has been tilted sidewise 8 degrees. Now consider that one slice of bread represents the Oro Fino Vein which is 2000 feet deep and up to 10,000 feet long.

Ore mineralogy found within the veins on War Eagle Mountain is identical to the regimes found on the other two mountains. The only key difference is the rock or precursor host rock. The granodiorite core on War Eagle (Granite) contains the veins whereas extrusive volcanics predominately host the mineralization on the other two mountains.  This means that the shafts on War Eagle Mountain are more stable, with minimal need to shore the walls with timber, as the Oro Fino Veins are compressed between very stable granite rock formations, which means the shafts left by the prior miners are still in mining-ready condition.  Evidence of this fact can be found within the Sinker Tunnel Complex. Throughout its 8,000 to 10,000 feet in length, almost no timber is used for shoring/bracing the walls or ceilings.  Based upon records from the 1800s, and records of the current open pit mining operations on Florida and Delamar, mineral ore from War Eagle Mountain was obtained in greater amounts from far less material removed.

The Oro Fino Vein system is known to extend at least some 12,000 feet in a NS direction and has been observed to vary greatly in thickness (from 0.5 ft to 25 ft) and mill grades of 0.5 to 1.25 Troy ounces of gold per ton on average. As is typical for this kind of precious metal bearing quartz vein system, several large "pockets" of very rich ore concentration occur scattered throughout. These are called "Hot Spot" locations where mill grades of up to 25 Troy ounces per ton are encountered, with some areas showing grades as high as 90 to 300 oz gold/ton.

The depth of the Oro Fino vein system is known to be in the 2,000 ft area, with only about the first 500 to 1100 feet of depth actually mined on approximately 15% of the total known length. Estimates of potential reserves start from 500,000 ounces of gold, although this is based purely on historical records. Recent surveys and drilling activities have tended to confirm these historical records. There is a rough 1:14 ratio of Gold to Silver.

The Cumberland mine, also part of the War Eagle Mountain structure, sits on top of a clearly separate vein system. This vein is 100 to 200 feet east of the Oro Fino Vein. The Cumberland Vein is oriented N-S, dips 60 degrees to the east, and is one to twelve inches thick. Very rich ore, some as high as 9 ounces of gold to 40 ounces of silver exists within this vein.


- -5-


The Poorman mine, also on the War Eagle Mountain, sits on top of an identical vein to the Oro Fino Vein, but about 1,000 feet to the west of the Golden Chariot shaft.  This vein is mostly silver.

The Oro Fino Vein system has approximately 6 other vein systems associated with it, while some 40 additional main vein systems are known to exist on the War Eagle Mountain.

The core of War Eagle Mountain is a large dome-like structure made up of intrusive granodiorites or quartz-monzonites, probably several thousand feet thick.  The rocks are similar to those of the Cretaceous Idaho batholith which occupies a large portion of central Idaho. The belief is that the War Eagle Mountain is an outlier of the batholith, separated by extentional tectonics and displaced southwest toward to its present position.  The Oro Fino Vein system is found within this lithologic unit.  

The gold and silver bearing veins of War Eagle Mountain, including the Oro Fino Vein, are steeply dipping to subvertical in attitude and are generally oriented in a NS to NW-SE direction. The vein structures cut the youngest widespread lithologic unit, dated by potassium-argon at 15.6 - 15.7 million years. Potassium- argon dates on the vein material in the Florida mine and War Eagle Mountain area indicate an age range between 14.8 - 15.2 million years. Their origin is probably related to a Middle Miocene eruptive episode, representing the last and waning stages of activity. The textures, mineralogy and geometry of the veins all indicate that they are "epithermal" deposits. This means that, according to the current interpretations, the minerals were deposited by hydrothermal fluids at relatively shallow depths and low to moderate pressures.  Temperatures were originally thought to be around 50-200 degr ees Celsius, but it has been realized since that many of the "epithermal" deposits were formed at temperatures well above 200 degrees C. The effect of the so-called "hyper-enrichment" is to produce multiple pockets of bonanza ore, or highly-enriched spots.

Description of Mining Process

We are in the process of installing a mill at War Eagle Mountain that will be capable of processing 30 tons of ore per day through three circuits through a chemical free process.  These circuits will operate as follows:

·

A crushing unit will reduce ore bearing rocks of various sizes to the size of a pea and smaller, and then mix the result with water in a steel ball mill to produce a cloudy liquid which is then strained through a <270 mm mesh strainer. The water will be provided by internal storage tanks and is recycled continuously, thus requiring only a small amount of water to make up for losses due to evaporation and spillage.

·

After the cloudy water is strained, it is then pumped into a concentrator, which is basically an inverted rubber bell that spins at a high rate of speed. The concentrator forces the slurry up the sides of the bell where the heavy metals escape the vessel through a series of holes around the top of the bell, where the metals fall as a paste into the next part of the process. The remaining water is then separated from the tailings produced during this part of the process and the tailings are then dried using a dewatering process.  The dry tailings are stored in an outside tailings pile which will then be shaped consistent with the contours of the land and covered and seeded for preservation of land appearance.

·

The paste produced in step two is then remixed with clear water and put through a vibrating process where the heavy metals (Gold, Silver, Titanium, etc) are separated from other substances and deposited in sealed containers.  The final product is then assayed and sent to the contracted refinery for purification. The remaining water is then pumped to the dewatering system where the water is extracted from the tailings for reuse, and the tailings sent to join the tailings from step two.

-6-

We project that the installation and startup of the mill and the working capital to begin transport of ore to the mill for processing will necessitate a further investment of approximately $1.5 million, as follows:

·

The purchase and the preparation of property for mill use will cost us about $300,000;

·

The mill itself with installation and certification $260,000;

·

Completing the purchase of small tooling and powering the mill $150,000;

·

Moving ore to stockpile at the mill $230,000; and

·

Start up mill salaries until revenue flows in $430,000.

Competition

We have no competition for the extraction of minerals from War Eagle Mountain, since no other mining company has an interest on War Eagle Mountain at this time.  However, the mineral extraction business in general is highly competitive.  Numerous larger mining companies actively seek out and bid for mining prospects and properties as well as for the services of third-party providers and supplies, such as mining equipment, transportation equipment and smelters, upon which we rely.  Many of these companies not only explore for, produce and market minerals, but also carry out smelting and refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis.  Most of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do.

Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of legislation and regulation considered from time to time by the government of the United States and the states in which we have operations, as well as factors that we cannot control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for minerals, and currency fluctuations.

Markets and Major Customers

We will contract with Innovative Precious Metals Technologies, Ltd. to process all ore derived from War Eagle Mountain, and to purchase any minerals derived from the ore at market prices, less a mutually agreed to commission, as will be determined in the contract.  Under our lease agreement with Goldcorp, we are obligated to pay a royalty of 15% of any amounts we receive from the processor.

Seasonality of Business

Weather conditions will affect our ability to mine ore from our property.  Generally, from November to April of each year the road leading to the property is impassable because of snow.  We plan to mine and deliver more ore to the smelter than it can process when the roads are passable to ensure a steady stream of revenues throughout the year.

Operational Risks

Mining involves a high degree of risk, which a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Mining involves the risk that fires, shaft collapses, flooding, equipment failure, human error and other circumstances may cause significant injury to persons or property, and may affect our ability to extract mine ore from our properties without significant additional capital expenditures. In such event, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the satisfaction of which could substantially reduce available cash and possibly result in loss of our leased mining properties. Such hazards may also cause damage to or destruction of our mine shafts, producing formations, production facilities, storage and transportation facilities, or other processing facilities.

We will not insure fully against all risks associated with our business either because such insurance is not available or because we believe the premium costs are prohibitive. A loss not fully covered by insurance could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. For further discussion on risks see “Risk Factors” below.

Regulation

Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain will be affected by numerous laws and regulations, including environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the resource industry.  Most of the extraction operations will require permits or authorizations from federal, state or local agencies.  We are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations under the terms of our lease with Goldcorp, but the denial or vacating of permits needed by us could have a material adverse effect on our revenues.  In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future revenues.

We expect that our operations will comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations.  We believe that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations will have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the resource industry.

Environmental

General. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control in the United States. The extraction of mineral ore, is subject to stringent environmental regulation by state and federal authorities, including the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Such regulation can increase the cost of planning, designing, installing and operating mining facilities.

Significant fines and penalties may be imposed for the failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of releases of hazardous substances, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances.

Waste Disposal. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may generate wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are subject to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and comparable state statutes. The EPA has limited the disposal options for certain wastes that are designated as hazardous under RCRA ("Hazardous Wastes").  Furthermore, it is possible that certain wastes generated by mining operations on War Eagle Mountain that are currently exempt from treatment as Hazardous Wastes may in the future be designated as Hazardous Wastes, and therefore be subject to more rigorous and costly operating and disposal requirements.

 

-8-

CERCLA. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, generally imposes joint and several liability for costs of investigation and remediation and for natural resource damages, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release into the environment of substances designated under CERCLA as hazardous substances ("Hazardous Substances").  These classes of persons or so-called potentially responsible parties include the current and certain past owners and operators of a facility where there is or has been a release or threat of release of a Hazardous Substance and persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the Hazardous Substances found at such a facility. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA an d, in some cases, third parties to take action in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the potentially responsible parties the costs of such action.  Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may generate wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances, and predecessor mining companies on our properties may have generated wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances.

Air Emissions.  Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may be subject to local, state and federal regulations for the control of emissions of air pollution. Major sources of air pollutants are subject to more stringent, federally imposed permitting requirements, including additional permits. If ozone problems are not resolved by the deadlines imposed by the federal Clean Air Act, or on schedule to meet the standards, even more restrictive requirements may be imposed, including financial penalties based upon the quantity of ozone producing emissions. If the operator of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain fails to comply strictly with applicable air pollution regulations or permits, we may be subject to monetary fines and be required to correct any identified deficiencies. Alternatively, regulatory agencies could require us to forego construction, modification or operation of certain air emission sour ces.

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations and that, absent the occurrence of an extraordinary event, compliance with existing local, state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations governing the release of materials in the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have not incurred any research or development expenditures in the last two fiscal years.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.

Employees and Consultants

At June 30, 2009, we had two employees.

We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees, and believe all consulting and employment agreements relationships are satisfactory.  We hire independent contractors on an as- needed basis, and we may retain additional employees and consultants during the next twelve months, including additional executive management personnel with substantial experience in the mining exploration and development business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

We Have No Revenue To Date From Our Mining Properties, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability To Achieve Our Business Objectives.

Since entering into the lease with Goldcorp in October 2007, we have experienced losses from our operations.  Our ability to become profitable will be dependent on the receipt of revenues from our mining properties being greater than our operational expenses.  We need to raise capital to finance the purchase and installation of mining equipment and for working capital in order to commence mining operations.  Until we receive revenues from our mining operations, we are dependent on the deferral of salaries by our officers and loans from our officers to pay routine administrative expenses, and the willingness of business parties and consultants to accept our common shares as payment.  If we cannot commence actual mining operations, we may never generate revenues and may never become profitable.

We Have No Operating History as a Mining Company, Which Makes It Hard To Evaluate Our Prospects.

We do not have any operating history as a mining company upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects.  We do not have an established history of locating and developing properties that have mining reserves. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven.  In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets such as ours. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties.  Failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

Our Ability To Become Profitable Is Subject To Our Success in the Mining Business, Which Is Subject To Risks Inherent In The Mining Business

Our ability to become profitable is subject to the economic risks typically associated with mineral extraction and processing business, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to mine properties and to test potential reserves.  The availability of mining and transportation equipment and the cost of actual mining operations is often uncertain.  In conducting mining activities, the presence of unanticipated irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment.  

We Have A Very Small Management Team And The Loss Of Any Member Of This Team May Prevent Us From Implementing Our Business Plan In A Timely Manner; Our Management Has Substantial Outside Business Interests.

We have two executive officers and a limited number of additional consultants.  Our success depends largely upon the continued services of Pierre Quilliam, our Chief Executive Officer and Allan Breitkreuz, our Vice President of Finance and Development.  We need additional executive personnel in order to fulfill our business plan and satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company in a timely fashion.  We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on the lives of any of our officers. The loss of any of our officers could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In such an event, we may not be able to recruit personnel to replace our officers in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.

Furthermore, our employment agreement with Mr. Quilliam permits him to have outside business interests, such that he is not required to devote 100% of his working time to our business.  Mr. Quilliam estimates that he spends about 95% of his working time on activities related to the commencement of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain through Goldcorp and us.  Mr. Breitkreuz does not have an employment agreement with us, and is permitted to spend time on outside business interests.  Mr. Breitkreuz estimates that he spends about 25% of his working time on activities related to the commencement of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain through Goldcorp and us.  The fact that Messrs. Quilliam and Breitkreuz have outside business interests could lessen their focus on our business.

The Mining Industry Historically Is A Cyclical Industry And Market Fluctuations In The Prices Of Minerals Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

Prices for minerals tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

·

weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere;

·

economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere;

·

political instability in Africa and other major mineral producing regions;

·

governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;

·

domestic and foreign tax policy;

·

the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves;

·

the price of foreign imports of minerals;

·

the cost of exploring for, producing and processing raw mineral ore;

·

the rate of decline of existing and new mineral reserves;

·

available transportation capacity;

·

the ability of mineral extraction companies to raise capital;

·

the overall supply and demand for minerals; and

Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities.  Reductions in mineral prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges impairment.  We do not currently engage in any hedging program to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in mineral prices.

Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for mineral properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties.  Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

If We Fail To Maintain Adequate Insurance, Our Business Could Be Materially And Adversely Affected.

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the mining industry, such as mine collapses, flooding, explosions, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  We expect to obtain insurance before we formally commence mining operations, but at this time we do not carry insurance to cover any of these potential liabilities.

Complying With Environmental And Other Government Regulations Could Be Costly And Could Negatively Impact Our Production, Which Would Adversely Impact Our Royalty Revenues.

The mining business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of any facilities on War Eagle Mountain, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that any operator of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain acquire permits before commencing operations and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with mining and production activities.

Under our lease of War Eagle Mountain, we are primarily responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to the mining operations, and our failure to comply could result in damages or claims for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties.  Prior to our commencement of mining operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time.  However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.

The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

There Is No Market For Our Common Stock.

The trading market for our common stock is limited.  Our common stock is trading on Pink Sheets and is not eligible for trading on any national or regional securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market.  We plan to apply for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board after we register our common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act.  We cannot provide you with any assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will ever develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained.

Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

·

that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

·

the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

·

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

We Will Incur Significant Costs As A Result Of Operating As A Public Company. We May Not Have Sufficient Personnel For Our Financial Reporting Responsibilities, Which May Result In The Untimely Close Of Our Books And Record And Delays In The Preparation Of Financial Statements And Related Disclosures.

As a registered public company, we will experience an increase in legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.  Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives.  Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC and other regulatory authorities.

Overview

On September 14, 2007, Goldcorp acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres. Goldcorp also acquired 70 lease claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, each of which covers approximately 20 acres, or approximately 1,400 acres in total.

On October 11, 2007, Goldcorp leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldcorp annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008, but that we may extend the commencement date to July 1, 2009, in which event the lease term will be extended by an equal amount of time.  We currently expect to begin actual operations in October 2009.

 

-13-

On September 21, 2008, we acquired from Mineral Extraction, Inc. all mineral, mining and access rights to two mining claims on War Eagle Mountain, covering 18.877 total acres, as well as claims for four mill site locations and the Sinker Tunnel location.

We project that the installation and startup of the mill and the working capital to begin transport of ore to the mill for processing will necessitate a further investment of approximately $1.5 million, as follows:

·

The purchase and the preparation of property for mill use will cost us about $300,000;

·

The mill itself with installation and certification $260,000;

·

Completing the purchase of small tooling and powering the mill $150,000;

·

Moving ore to stockpile at the mill $230,000; and

·

Start up mill salaries until revenue flows in $430,000.

Our revenue, profitability, and future growth rate depend substantially on factors beyond our control, including our success in the commencement of mining operations, as well as economic, political, and regulatory developments and fluctuations in the market prices of minerals processed from ore derived from our mining operations.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

We are in the exploration stage and have generated no revenues in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.  

We reported losses from operations during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 of ($3,361,188) and ($1,282,135), respectively.  The increased loss in 2008 as compared to 2007 was largely attributable to the following factors:

·

Consulting fees increased from $1,120,571 in 2007 to $1,957,911 in 2008 as a result of greater use of consultants in connection with our efforts to commence mining operations on War Eagle Mountain;

·

Mill development expenses were $268,124 in 2008 as compared to $0 in 2007;

·

Costs incurred to improve the tunnel, pit and road at our mining site were $286,907 in 2008 as compared to $0 in 2007;

·

Salaries and wages increased to $156,500 in 2008 as compared to $125,000 in 2007 as the result of payments of $31,250 made to settle a tax debt of Mr. Quilliam incurred in connection with his role as an officer of Dicut, our former corporate parent;

·

General and administrative expenses increased to $676,629 in 2008 as compared to $36,564 in 2007 as a result of greater costs incurred to make our mine ready for active operations, including rent for a shop lease, repairs and maintenance to facilities and vehicle expenses.


- -14-


We reported net losses during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 of ($3,399,970) and ($1,282,437), respectively.  The increased loss in 2008 as compared to 2007 was largely attributable to increased loss from operations and increased interest expense resulting from higher interest-bearing debt in 2008 as compared to 2007.  In particular, interest expense increased from $302 in 2007 to $38,782 in 2008.

Six Months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

We are in the exploration stage and have generated no revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  

We reported losses from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of ($1,128,585) and ($1,819,193), respectively.  The decreased loss in 2009 as compared to 2008 was attributable to the following factors:

·

Consulting fees decreased from $1,651,289 in 2008 to $875,522 as a result of reduced use of consultants in 2009;

·

Salaries and wages increased from $62,500 in 2008 to $72,500 in 2009 as a result of payments of $10,000 made to settle a tax debt of Mr. Quilliam incurred in connection with his role as an officer of Dicut, our former corporate parent;

·

Depreciation expense increased to $78,481 in 2009 from $0 in 2008 as a result of the acquisition of substantial equipment to be used in our mining operations in 2009 and late 2008;

·

General and administrative expenses were substantially unchanged, as the decreased to $102,082 in 2009 as compared to $105,404 in 2008.

We reported net losses during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of ($1,154,796) and ($1,843,271), respectively.  The decreased loss in 2009 as compared to 2008 was largely attributable to a decrease in loss from operations offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from higher interest bearing debt in 2009.  In particular, interest expense increased from $24,078 in 2008 to $26,211 in 2009.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 reflects cash of $83, current assets of $176,378, current liabilities of $1,249,092, and a working capital deficit of ($1,072,714).   

At this time, we have no revenues.  We do not expect to begin generating revenues until we commence actual mining operations, which is not expected to occur until October 2009.  Until we begin receiving revenues from mining operations, we are dependent on the deferral of salaries by our management, and loans from our officers and a significant shareholder to pay other administrative expenses.  We plan to continue raising capital through the issuance of convertible notes, and we believe we have sufficient interest from investors to raise the capital we need to commence operations.  We also plan to continue funding our development by issuing shares to acquire services that we need to commence operations.  

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred a net operating loss in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the six months ended June 30, 2009, and have no revenues at this time.  These factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We are currently trying to raise capital through a private offering of preferred stock.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of this plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported results of operations and the amount of reported assets, liabilities and proved mineral reserves. Some accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements. Described below are the most significant policies we apply in preparing our financial statements, some of which are s ubject to alternative treatments under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also describe the most significant estimates and assumptions we make in applying these policies. See Results of Operations above and Item 13. Financial Statements – Note A, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for a discussion of additional accounting policies and estimates made by management.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of all metals products sold directly to smelters, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter (generally at the time of shipment) at estimated forward prices for the estimated month of settlement.  Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the smelter and the final settlement with the smelter, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the smelter.  Revenue is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sale s prices. Until final settlement occurs, adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement. For changes in metal quantities upon receipt of new information and assay, the provisional sales quantities are adjusted as well. The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations between the date initially recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement-date, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to return a portion of the sales proceeds received based on the provisional invoice.

The Company’s sales based on a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes.  The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Facilities and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives, which do not exceed the related estimated mine lives, of such facilities based on proven and probable reserves.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average costs incurred or estimated net realizable value. Major types of inventories include materials and supplies and metals product inventory, which is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process (stockpiled ore, work in process and finished goods).

 

-16-

Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Stockpiled ore inventory represents ore that has been mined, hauled to the surface, and is available for further processing. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained metal ounces or pounds (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are allocated to a stockpile based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per recoverable unit.

Work in process inventory represents materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product and includes inventories in our milling process. In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of the respective plants. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and stockpiles, plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.

Finished goods inventory includes doré and concentrates at our operations, doré in transit to refiners and bullion in our accounts at refineries. Inventories are valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices.

Properties, Plants and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.

Costs are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves. The development stage begins at new projects when our management and/or Board of Directors makes the decision to bring a mine into commercial production, and ends when the production stage, or exploitation of reserves, begins.  Expenditures incurred during the development and production stages for new facilities, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities and major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, shaft sinking, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure developments.

Costs for exploration, secondary development at operating mines, and maintenance and repairs on capitalized property, plant and equipment are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, (b) at undeveloped concessions, or (c) at operating mines already containing proven and probable reserves, where a determination remains pending as to whether new target deposits outside of the existing reserve areas can be economically developed. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block, stope or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole.

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current period net income (loss). Idle facilities placed on standby basis are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

 

-17-

Proven and Probable Ore Reserves 

At least annually, management reviews the reserves used to estimate the quantities and grades of ore at our mines which we believe can be recovered and sold economically.  Management’s calculations of proven and probable ore reserves are based on engineering and geological estimates, including future metals prices and operating costs. From time to time, management obtains external audits of reserves.  To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Reserve estimates will change as existing reserves are depleted through production and as production costs and/or metals prices change. A significant drop in metals prices may reduce reserves by making some portion of such ore uneconomic to develop and produce. Changes in reserves may also reflect that actual grades of ore processed may be different from stated reserve grades because of variation in grades in areas mined, mining dilution and other factors. Estimated reserves, particularly for properties that have not yet commenced production, may require revision based on actual production experience. It is reasonably possible that certain of our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves will change in the near term, which could result in a change to estimated future cash flows, associated carrying values of the asset and amortization rates in future reporting periods, among other things.

Declines in the market prices of metals, increased production or capital costs, reduction in the grade or tonnage of the deposit or an increase in the dilution of the ore or reduced recovery rates may render ore reserves uneconomic to exploit unless the utilization of forward sales contracts or other hedging techniques are sufficient to offset such effects. If our realized price for the metals we produce were to decline substantially below the levels set for calculation of reserves for an extended period, there could be material delays in the development of new projects, net losses, reduced cash flow, restatements or reductions in reserves and asset write-downs in the applicable accounting periods. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the estimate of the amount of metal or the indicated level of recovery of these metals will be realized.

To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Capitalized costs are depreciated or depleted using the straight-line method or unit-of-production method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Determination of expected useful lives for amortization calculations are made on a property-by-property or asset-by-asset basis at least annually. Our estimates for mineral reserves are a key component in determining our units of production depreciation rates. Our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves may change, possibly in the near term, resulting in changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization rates in future reporting periods.

Undeveloped mineral interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values. At such time as an undeveloped mineral interest is converted to proven and probable reserves, the remaining unamortized basis is amortized on a unit-of-production basis as described above.

 

-18-

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves and other material that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. Our estimate of future cash flows is based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production l evels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Goodwill

We evaluate, on at least an annual basis during the fourth quarter, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting units to their carrying amounts.  If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. Our fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation

We have issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party quotations, or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction

Use of Estimates

Our Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basic and Diluted Per Common Share

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic  earnings  per common  share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation.  Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Because we have has incurred net losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since additional potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. PROPERTIES.

A description of our mining properties is included in Item 1. Description of Business and is incorporated herein by reference.

We also lease office space at 1385 Broadway, New York, under a lease that runs from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2011 at a rate of $3,060 per month.  Under the lease, we issued the lessor 1,250,000 shares of our common stock valued at $110,160 at the inception of the lease as payment of rent for the entire lease term.

We also lease warehouse space in Melba, Idaho for use in storing mining equipment.  The lease is an oral, month-to-month lease which provides for lease payments of $2,000 per month.

We believe that we have satisfactory title to the properties owned and used in our business, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in our business. We believe that our properties are adequate and suitable for us to conduct business in the future.

Allan Breitkreuz has served as our vice president and a member of our board since November 1, 2008.  In addition to his services as our office and director, Mr. Breitkreuz has been a director of Goldcorp since 2005, and its Vice President of Finance and Development since September 9, 2006.  From 2002 to 2008, Mr. Breitkreuz was an officer and director of Warner International Networks and Extend a Pop, which provided dial up internet access. Mr. Breitkreuz majored in commercial and business financial administration at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, but did not receive a degree.

Board Committees

We do not have an audit, nominating or compensation committee.  We intend, however, to establish an audit committee and a compensation committee of our Board of Directors in the future, once we have independent directors. We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditor, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls. The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive officers.  

We do not have an audit committee financial expert on our board because we do not have any independent directors.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which is filed herewith as Exhibit 14.

ITEM 7.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

On October 11, 2007, Goldcorp leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldcorp annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008, but that we may extend the commencement date to July 1, 2009, in which event the lease term will be extended by an equal amount of time.

There were 131 shareholders of record of the common stock as of June 30, 2009. This number does not include an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares are held by brokers in “street name.”  

Our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Those disclosure rules applicable to "penny stocks" require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a "penny stock" not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document prepared by the Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in "penny stocks" can be very risky and that the investor's salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor, but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in "penny stocks," to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson the investor is working with and to underst and the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the "penny stock" is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock during our fiscal years ended on December 31, 2008 or 2007.  Our Board of Directors has made no determination to date to declare cash dividends during the foreseeable future, but is not likely to do so.  There are no restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.

ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

We issued shares of our common stock in the following transactions in the last three years:

Shares Issued in Holding Company Reorganization:  We were formed on October 15, 2007 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dicut Holdings, Inc. (“Dicut”).  On October 15, 2007, Dicut completed a holding company reorganization pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, under which it merged with and into Dicut KLM, Inc. (“KLM”), which was our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Under the merger, one share of our capital stock was issued in exchange for each outstanding share of common stock of Dicut of the same class (i.e., one share of our Class A Common Stock was issued in exchange for each share of Class A Common Stock of Dicut).  As a result of the holding company reorganization, Dicut ceased to exist and KLM remained our wholly-owned subsidiary.  After the reorganization, we disposed of KLM for nominal consideration.  The issuance of the shares in the reorganization was exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 145 and various no action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shares Issued in Minex Acquisition: On September 21, 2008, we issued 3,846,154 shares of Class A Common Stock to acquire all mineral, mining and access rights to two mining claims on War Eagle Mountain, covering 18.877 total acres, as well as claims for four mill site locations and the Sinker Tunnel location.  The shares were valued at $376,923, which was the market price on the date of the acquisition.  The shares were issued pursuant to the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipient had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to make an informed investment decision. A legend was placed on the stock certificates stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and could not be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective registration or an exemption therefrom.  

Shares Issued in Deep Rock, Inc. Acquisition:  On January 23, 2009 we issued 7,719,235 shares of Class A Common Stock to purchase 100% of the outstanding common stock of Deep Rock, Inc, an Idaho corporation. The shares were valued at $355,085, which was the market price on the date of the acquisition.  The shares were issued pursuant to the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipient had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to make an informed investment decision. A legend was placed on the stock certificates stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and cou ld not be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective registration or an exemption therefrom.  

Shares Issued for Office Rent:  In 2008, we issued 1,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to pay all of the rent due under a lease of office space in New York for three years.  The shares were valued at $110,160, which was the amount of rent payable for the entire term of the lease.  The shares were issued pursuant to the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipient had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to make an informed investment decision.

Shares Issued for Expense Reimbursements:   In 2007, we issued 32,750 shares of Class A Common Stock to Mr. Quilliam for expense reimbursements totaling $2,620.  In 2008, we issued 87,500 shares of Class A Common Stock to Mr. Quilliam for expense reimbursements totaling $11,375.  The shares were valued at the market price on the date of the issuance.  The shares were issued pursuant to the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  As our chairman and chief executive officer at the time, Mr. Quilliam had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to make an informed investment decision. A legend was placed on the stock certificates stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and could not be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective registration or an exemption there from.

-26-

Convertible Note Issuances:  In 2007, we commenced an offering of convertible notes to raise capital.  The notes have a term of two years, bear interest at 7% per annum payable monthly, and are convertible into Class A Common Stock at the market price on the date of issuance of the note.  In 2007, we issued $28,000 of notes to two investors.  In 2008, we issued $1,629,950 of notes to nine investors.  From January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009, we had issued $265,000 of notes to four investors.  In 2008, we issued 7,107,716 shares of our Class A Common Stock upon conversion of notes with an aggregate principal amount of $373,500.  The convertible notes, and the shares issued upon conversion of certain notes, were issued pursuant to the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the securities were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipients had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to make an informed investment decision. A legend was placed on the notes and stock certificates stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and could not be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective registration or an exemption therefrom.

Shares Issued for Consulting Services:  We have issued shares for consulting services in the following transactions:

·

In 2007, we issued 11,294,995 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,737,946 shares of Class B Common Stock to various vendors for consulting services valued at $658,624 and $139,062, respectively.

·

In 2008, we issued 33,780,847 shares of Class A Common Stock to various vendors for consulting services valued at $2,360,231, of which $404,840 has been classified as prepaid expenses.

·

In 2009, we issued 2,076,849 shares of Class A Common Stock to various vendors for consulting services valued at $53,100.

All shares issued for consulting services were valued at the market price on the date of the issuance.  The shares were originally issued in the belief that the issuance was exempt under Rule 701.  We have since learned that many of the shares issued for services would not qualify for Rule 701, because for example we had exceeded the volume limitations in Rule 701 or issued the shares to persons other than natural persons.  Accordingly, we alternatively claim the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for all of the shares issued for services. The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipients had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to mak e an informed investment decision.

Shares Issued for Accounts Payable:  In July 2009, we issued 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to a vendor in payment of accounts payable valued at $180,000. The shares were originally issued in the belief that the issuance was exempt under Rule 701.  We have since learned that the issuance of the shares would not qualify for Rule 701, because for example we had exceeded the volume limitations in Rule 701.  Accordingly, we alternatively claim the "private placement" exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for all of the shares issued for services.  The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipient had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to m ake an informed investment decision.

Shares Issued to Settle Potential Litigation Claim:  In June 2008, we issued 3,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to HEM Mutual Assurance, LLC to settle a legal claim against us and Mr. Quilliam arising out of its investment in Dicut, our former corporate parent.  While we believed we had good defenses to any suit, we determined that the cost of defending any claim would exceed the cost of the settlement.  The shares were valued at $81,700, which was the market price on the date of the issuance. The shares were originally issued in the belief that the issuance was exempt under Rule 701.  We have since learned that the issuance of the shares would not qualify for Rule 701, because for example we had exceeded the volume limitations in Rule 701 and the recipient was not a natural person.  Accordingly, we alternatively claim the "private placement" exemption under Section 4( 2) of the Securities Act for all of the shares issued for services.  The issuances did not involve a public offering of securities, as the shares were not offered or sold by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  In our judgment, the recipient had knowledge of our assets, liabilities and business plan, and such information about us as was necessary to make an informed investment decision.

We affected a 1 for 200 reverse split of its Common Stock on November 1, 2007.  All share amounts are after giving effect to the reverse split.

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Under Article Ten of our Certificate of Incorporation, we are required to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any and all persons whom it has the power to indemnify under Section 145, which generally includes any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of ours or, while a director or officer of ours, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and e xpenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person.  The indemnification provided by our Certificate of Incorporation shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Article Nine of our Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

At the present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving one of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought nor are aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.  We do not currently maintain directors and officers liability insurance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors

Silver Falcon Mining, Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from October 15, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from October 15, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting princi ples used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 12 of the notes to the accompanying financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the footnotes, the Company does not currently have any revenue is dependent on the deferral of salaries and loans from management and a shareholder to pay operating expenses.  Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SILVER FALCON MINING, INC.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008 and 2007


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in the State of Delaware on October 11th, 2007.  On October 15, 2007, we completed a holding company reorganization with Dicut, Inc. (“Dicut”) pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Dicut previously operated in the information technology business, but ceased operations in 2005.

On October 11, 2007, Goldcorp leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldcorp annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008, but that we may extend the commencement date to July 1, 2009, in which event the lease term will be extended by an equal amount of time.  We currently expect to begin actual operations in October 2009.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Sales of all metals products sold directly to smelters, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter (generally at the time of shipment) at estimated forward prices for the estimated month of settlement.  Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the smelter and the final settlement with the smelter, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the smelter.  Revenue is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sale s prices. Until final settlement occurs, adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement. For changes in metal quantities upon receipt of new information and assay, the provisional sales quantities are adjusted as well. The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations between the date initially recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement-date, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to return a portion of the sales proceeds received based on the provisional invoice.

The Company’s sales based on a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

 


F-9

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Investments

Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each reporting date. Investments in incorporated entities in which the Company’s ownership is greater than 20% and less than 50%, or which the Company does not control through majority ownership or means other than voting rights, are accounted for by the equity method and are included in long-term assets. The Company accounts for its equity security investments as available for sale securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company periodically evaluates whether declines in fair values of its investments below the Company’s carrying value are other-t han-temporary in accordance with FSP FAS 115 No. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” The Company’s policy is to generally treat a decline in the investment’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as an other-than-temporary decline in value. The Company also monitors its investments for events or changes in circumstances that have occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and evaluates qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss and the Company’s ability to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs to determine if the decline in value of an investment is other-than-temporary. Declines in fair value below the Company’s carrying value deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to earnings. Additional information concerning the Company’s equity meth od and security investments is included in Note 15.

The Company accounts for its investments in auction rate securities in accordance with FAS No. 115. Specifically, when the underlying security of an auction rate security has a stated or contractual maturity date in excess of 90 days, regardless of the frequency of the interest rate reset date, the security is classified as an available-for-sale marketable debt security.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average costs incurred or estimated net realizable value. Major types of inventories include materials and supplies and metals product inventory, which is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process (stockpiled ore, work in process and finished goods).

Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Stockpiled ore inventory represents ore that has been mined, hauled to the surface, and is available for further processing. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained metal ounces or pounds (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are allocated to a stockpile based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile's average cost per recoverable unit.


F-10

 


 

Work in process inventory represents materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product and includes inventories in our milling process. In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of the respective plants. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and stockpiles, plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.

Finished goods inventory includes doré and concentrates at our operations, doré in transit to refiners and bullion in our accounts at refineries. Inventories are valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices.

Properties, Plants and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.

Costs are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves. The development stage begins at new projects when our management and/or Board of Directors makes the decision to bring a mine into commercial production, and ends when the production stage, or exploitation of reserves, begins.  Expenditures incurred during the development and production stages for new facilities, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities and major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, shaft sinking, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure developments.

Costs for exploration, secondary development at operating mines, and maintenance and repairs on capitalized property, plant and equipment are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, (b) at undeveloped concessions, or (c) at operating mines already containing proven and probable reserves, where a determination remains pending as to whether new target deposits outside of the existing reserve areas can be economically developed. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block, stope or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole.

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current period net income (loss). Idle facilities placed on standby basis are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

 

F-11



Proven and Probable Ore Reserves 

At least annually, management reviews the reserves used to estimate the quantities and grades of ore at our mines which we believe can be recovered and sold economically.  Management’s calculations of proven and probable ore reserves are based on engineering and geological estimates, including future metals prices and operating costs. From time to time, management obtains external audits of reserves.  To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Reserve estimates will change as existing reserves are depleted through production and as production costs and/or metals prices change. A significant drop in metals prices may reduce reserves by making some portion of such ore uneconomic to develop and produce. Changes in reserves may also reflect that actual grades of ore processed may be different from stated reserve grades because of variation in grades in areas mined, mining dilution and other factors. Estimated reserves, particularly for properties that have not yet commenced production, may require revision based on actual production experience. It is reasonably possible that certain of our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves will change in the near term, which could result in a change to estimated future cash flows, associated carrying values of the asset and amortization rates in future reporting periods, among other things.

Declines in the market prices of metals, increased production or capital costs, reduction in the grade or tonnage of the deposit or an increase in the dilution of the ore or reduced recovery rates may render ore reserves uneconomic to exploit unless the utilization of forward sales contracts or other hedging techniques are sufficient to offset such effects. If our realized price for the metals we produce were to decline substantially below the levels set for calculation of reserves for an extended period, there could be material delays in the development of new projects, net losses, reduced cash flow, restatements or reductions in reserves and asset write-downs in the applicable accounting periods. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the estimate of the amount of metal or the indicated level of recovery of these metal s will be realized.

To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Capitalized costs are depreciated or depleted using the straight-line method or unit-of-production method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Determination of expected useful lives for amortization calculations are made on a property-by-property or asset-by-asset basis at least annually. Our estimates for mineral reserves are a key component in determining our units of production depreciation rates. Our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves may change, possibly in the near term, resulting in changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization rates in future reporting periods.

Undeveloped mineral interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values. At such time as an undeveloped mineral interest is converted to proven and probable reserves, the remaining unamortized basis is amortized on a unit-of-production basis as described above.


F-12

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any.  An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves and other material th at is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and ot her commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Reclamation and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)

At our operating properties, we accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires us to record a liability for the present value of our estimated environmental remediation costs, and the related asset created with it, in the period in which the liability is incurred. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made.

At our non-operating properties, we accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Estimates for reclamation and other closure costs are prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” or Statement of Position 96-1 “Environmental Remediation Liabilities.” Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value unless subject to a contractually obligated fixed payment schedule. Such costs are based on management’s current estimate of amounts to be incurred when the remediation work is performed, within current laws and regulations.

 

F-13



Future closure, reclamation and environmental-related expenditures are difficult to estimate, in many circumstances, due to the early stage nature of investigations, and uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination and the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology. We periodically review accrued liabilities for such reclamation and remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that our liabilities have potentially changed. Changes in estimates at our non-operating properties are reflected in current period net income (loss).  Accruals for closure costs, reclamation and environmental matters for operating and nonoperating properties totaled $0 million at December 31, 2008.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis during the fourth quarter, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party quotations, or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction

Use of Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basic and Diluted Per Common Share

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic  earnings  per common  share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Because the Company has incurred net losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since additional potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The statement sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 165 for the interim period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”).  FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly.  Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have no material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active.  FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities.”  This disclosure-only FSP improves the transparency of transfers of financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities, including qualifying special-purpose entities.  This FSP is effective for the first reporting period (interim or annual) ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged.  The Company adopted this FSP effective January 1, 2009.  The adoption of the FSP had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”).  FSP FAS 132(R)-1 requires additional fair value disclosures about employers’ pension and postretirement benefit plan assets consistent with guidance contained in SFAS 157.  Specifically, employers will be required to disclose information about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of each major category of plan assets and information about the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of plan assets. This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

F-15



In September 2008, the FASB issued exposure drafts that eliminate qualifying special purpose entities from the guidance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and  FASB  Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of  Variable  Interest Entities − an interpretation of ARB  No. 51,” as well as other modifications.  While the proposed revised pronouncements have not been finalized and the proposals are subject to further public comment, the Company anticipates the changes will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.  The changes would be effective March 1, 2010, on a prospective basis.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Adoption of SFAS No. 161 has no effect on Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which amends SFAS No. 141, and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. This statement will impact how the Company accounts for future business combinations.

SILVER FALCON MINING, INC.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in the State of Delaware on October 11th, 2007.  On October 15, 2007, we completed a holding company reorganization with Dicut, Inc. (“Dicut”) pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Dicut previously operated in the information technology business, but ceased operations in 2005.

On October 11th, 2007, Goldcorp leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldcorp annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008, but that we may extend the commencement date to July 1, 2009, in which event the lease term will be extended by an equal amount of time.  We currently expect to begin actual operations in October 2009.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Sales of all metals products sold directly to smelters, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter (generally at the time of shipment) at estimated forward prices for the estimated month of settlement.  Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the smelter and the final settlement with the smelter, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the smelter.  Revenue is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sale s prices. Until final settlement occurs, adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement. For changes in metal quantities upon receipt of new information and assay, the provisional sales quantities are adjusted as well. The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations between the date initially recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement-date, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to return a portion of the sales proceeds received based on the provisional invoice.

The Company’s sales based on a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.


G-8


 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Investments

Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each reporting date. Investments in incorporated entities in which the Company’s ownership is greater than 20% and less than 50%, or which the Company does not control through majority ownership or means other than voting rights, are accounted for by the equity method and are included in long-term assets. The Company accounts for its equity security investments as available for sale securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company periodically evaluates whether declines in fair values of its investments below the Company’s carrying value are other-t han-temporary in accordance with FSP FAS 115 No. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” The Company’s policy is to generally treat a decline in the investment’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as a other-than-temporary decline in value. The Company also monitors its investments for events or changes in circumstances that have occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and evaluates qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss and the Company’s ability to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs to determine if the decline in value of an investment is other-than-temporary. Declines in fair value below the Company’s carrying value deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to earnings. Additional information concerning the Company’s equity metho d and security investments is included in Note 15.

The Company accounts for its investments in auction rate securities in accordance with FAS No. 115. Specifically, when the underlying security of an auction rate security has a stated or contractual maturity date in excess of 90 days, regardless of the frequency of the interest rate reset date, the security is classified as an available-for-sale marketable debt security.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average costs incurred or estimated net realizable value. Major types of inventories include materials and supplies and metals product inventory, which is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process (stockpiled ore, work in process and finished goods).

Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.


G-9



Stockpiled ore inventory represents ore that has been mined, hauled to the surface, and is available for further processing. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained metal ounces or pounds (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are allocated to a stockpile based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per recoverable unit.

Work in process inventory represents materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product and includes inventories in our milling process. In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of the respective plants. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and stockpiles, plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.

Finished goods inventory includes doré and concentrates at our operations, doré in transit to refiners and bullion in our accounts at refineries. Inventories are valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices.

Properties, Plants and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.

Costs are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves. The development stage begins at new projects when our management and/or Board of Directors makes the decision to bring a mine into commercial production, and ends when the production stage, or exploitation of reserves, begins.  Expenditures incurred during the development and production stages for new facilities, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities and major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, shaft sinking, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure developments.

Costs for exploration, secondary development at operating mines, and maintenance and repairs on capitalized property, plant and equipment are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, (b) at undeveloped concessions, or (c) at operating mines already containing proven and probable reserves, where a determination remains pending as to whether new target deposits outside of the existing reserve areas can be economically developed. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block, stope or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole.

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current period net income (loss).


G-10



Idle facilities placed on standby basis are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

Proven and Probable Ore Reserves 

At least annually, management reviews the reserves used to estimate the quantities and grades of ore at our mines which we believe can be recovered and sold economically.  Management’s calculations of proven and probable ore reserves are based on engineering and geological estimates, including future metals prices and operating costs. From time to time, management obtains external audits of reserves.  To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Reserve estimates will change as existing reserves are depleted through production and as production costs and/or metals prices change. A significant drop in metals prices may reduce reserves by making some portion of such ore uneconomic to develop and produce. Changes in reserves may also reflect that actual grades of ore processed may be different from stated reserve grades because of variation in grades in areas mined, mining dilution and other factors. Estimated reserves, particularly for properties that have not yet commenced production, may require revision based on actual production experience. It is reasonably possible that certain of our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves will change in the near term, which could result in a change to estimated future cash flows, associated carrying values of the asset and amortization rates in future reporting periods, among other things.

Declines in the market prices of metals, increased production or capital costs, reduction in the grade or tonnage of the deposit or an increase in the dilution of the ore or reduced recovery rates may render ore reserves uneconomic to exploit unless the utilization of forward sales contracts or other hedging techniques are sufficient to offset such effects. If our realized price for the metals we produce were to decline substantially below the levels set for calculation of reserves for an extended period, there could be material delays in the development of new projects, net losses, reduced cash flow, restatements or reductions in reserves and asset write-downs in the applicable accounting periods. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the estimate of the amount of metal or the indicated level of recovery of these metal s will be realized.

To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Capitalized costs are depreciated or depleted using the straight-line method or unit-of-production method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Determination of expected useful lives for amortization calculations are made on a property-by-property or asset-by-asset basis at least annually. Our estimates for mineral reserves are a key component in determining our units of production depreciation rates. Our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves may change, possibly in the near term, resulting in changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization rates in future reporting periods.


G-11



Undeveloped mineral interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values. At such time as an undeveloped mineral interest is converted to proven and probable reserves, the remaining unamortized basis is amortized on a unit-of-production basis as described above.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves and other material that is not pa rt of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodit y prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis during the fourth quarter, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party quotations, or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction.


G-12

 

Use of Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basic and Diluted Per Common Share

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic  earnings  per common  share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Because the Company has incurred net losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since additional potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The statement sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 165 for the inter im period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”).  FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly.  Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have no material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.


G-13




In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active.  FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities.”  This disclosure-only FSP improves the transparency of transfers of financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities, including qualifying special-purpose entities.  This FSP is effective for the first reporting period (interim or annual) ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged.  The Company adopted this FSP effective January 1, 2009.  The adoption of the FSP had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”).  FSP FAS 132(R)-1 requires additional fair value disclosures about employers’ pension and postretirement benefit plan assets consistent with guidance contained in SFAS 157.  Specifically, employers will be required to disclose information about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of each major category of plan assets and information about the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of plan assets. This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.


In September 2008, the FASB issued exposure drafts that eliminate qualifying special purpose entities from the guidance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and  FASB  Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of  Variable  Interest Entities − an interpretation of ARB  No. 51,” as well as other modifications.  While the proposed revised pronouncements have not been finalized and the proposals are subject to further public comment, the Company anticipates the changes will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.  The changes would be effective March 1, 2010, on a prospective basis.


In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.


In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB's amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company's financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.




G-14


 


In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Adoption of SFAS No. 161 has no effect on Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which amends SFAS No. 141, and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we paid $10,000 in taxes owed by Mr. Quilliam which were incurred in connection with his role as an officer of Dicut, our former corporate parent.

As of June 30, 2008 loans receivable from Allan Breitkreuz, an Officer and Director, totaled $140,400.  The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured demand loans.

NOTE 10 – GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  However, the Company has incurred a net loss of ($1,154,796) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The Company has remained in business primarily through the deferral of salaries by management, loans from the Company’s chief executive officer, and loans from a significant shareholder. The Company intends on financing its future development activities from the same sources, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

FIRST: That the Board of Directors of said corporation at a meeting duly convened and held, adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED; That the Board of Directors hereby declares it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company that Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation be amended to add the following language at the end of Article Fourth:

“Effective as of the close of business on October 16, 2007 (the “Effective Time”), each two hundred (200) shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Class A Stock”) shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be reclassified as and changed, pursuant to a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”), into one (1) share of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock (the “New Class A Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below, and each two hundred (200) shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Class B Stock”) shall automatically and without any action on the pa rt of the holder thereof, be reclassified as and changed, pursuant to a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”), into one (1) share of the Company’s outstanding Class B Common Stock (the “New Class B Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below.  The Old Class A Stock and the Old Class B Stock shall be referred to collectively as the “Old Capital Stock.”  The New Class A Stock and the New Class B Stock shall be referred to collectively as the “New Capital Stock.”

-1-

Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Old Capital Stock (“Old Certificates,” whether one or more) shall be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Old Certificates to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation, a certificate or certificates (the “New Certificates,” whether one or more) representing the number and class of whole shares of the New Capital Stock into and for which the shares of the Old Capital Stock formerly represented by such Old Certificates so surrendered are converted under the terms hereof. From and after the Effective Time, Old Certificates shall thereupon be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of New Capital Stock in the appropriately reduced whole number of shares of the appropriate class.  No certificates or script representing fractional share s interests in New Capital Stock will be issued, and no cash payments will be made therefore.  In lieu of any fraction of a share of New Capital Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the holder will receive one (1) whole share of the Company’s New Capital Stock of the appropriate class.  If more than one (1) Old Certificate shall be surrendered at one time for the account of the same Shareholder, the number of full shares of New Capital Stock for which New Certificates shall be issued shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by the Old Certificates so surrendered. In the event that the Company’s transfer agent determines that a holder of Old Certificates has not surrendered all of his certificates for exchange, the transfer agent shall carry forward any fractional share until all certificates of that holder have been presented for exchange such that consideration for fractional shares for any one person shall not exceed the value of one (1) share of New Capital Stock.  If any New Certificate is to be issued in a name other than the name in which the Old Certificate was issued, the Old Certificates so sur rendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the stock transfer tax stamps to the Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person or persons requesting such exchange shall affix any requisite stock or transfer tax stamps to the Old Certificates surrendered, or provide funds for their purchase, or establish to the satisfaction of the transfer agent that such taxes are not payable.”  

SECOND: That said amendment has been consented to and authorized by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote by written consent given in accordance with the provisions of Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

THIRD: That the aforesaid amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 242 and 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said corporation has caused this Certificate to be signed by Pierre Quilliam, this 15th day of October, 2007.

The corporation shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 6.1, a "director" or "officer" of the corporation includes any person (i) who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) who was a director or officer of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

6.2  Indemnification of Others.

The corporation shall have the power, to the extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, to indemnify each of its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation.  For purposes of this Section 6.2, an "employee" or "agent" of the corporation (other than a director or officer) includes any person (i) who is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) who was an employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporat ion or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

6.3  Payment of Expenses in Advance.

Expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 6.1 or for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 following authorization thereof by the board of directors shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article 6.


- -13-

 

6.4  Indemnity Not Exclusive.

The indemnification provided by this Article 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the certificate of incorporation.

6.5  Insurance.

The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

6.6  Conflicts.

No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article 6, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

(i)  That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limited indemnification; or

(ii) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

ARTICLE VII

RECORDS AND REPORTS

7.1   Maintenance and Inspection of Records.

The corporation shall, either at its principal executive office or at such place or places as designated by the board of directors, keep a record of its shareholders listing their names and addresses and the number and class of shares held by each shareholder, a copy of these bylaws as amended to date, accounting books, and other records.

-14-

Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder.  In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

7.2  Inspection by Directors.

Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his position as a director. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

7.3  Annual Statement to Stockholders.

The board of directors shall present at each annual meeting, and at any special meeting of the stockholders when called for by the vote of the stockholders, a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the corporation.

8.1  Checks.

From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.

8.2  Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments.

The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

-15-

8.3  Stock Certificates; Partly Paid Shares.

The shares of a corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares.  Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the board of directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice-chairman of the board of directors, or the chief executive officer or the president or vice president, and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of such corporation representing the number of s hares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor.  Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

8.4  Special Designation on Certificates.

If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

8.5  Lost Certificates.

Except as provided in this Section 8.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and canceled at the same time.  The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

-16-

8.6  Construction; Definitions.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the Delaware General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a natural person.

8.7  Dividends.

The directors of the corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation's capital stock.

The directors of the corporation may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, and meeting contingencies.

8.8  Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors and may be changed by the board of directors.

8.9  Seal.

The corporation may have a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the board of directors, and may use the same by causing it or a facsimile thereof, to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

8.10  Transfer of Stock.

Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books.

8.11  Stock Transfer Agreements.

The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of shareholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

8.12  Registered Stockholders.

The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

 

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS

The bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws upon the directors.  The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 $_______________USD

_______________, 200_

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. 7322 Manatee Ave. W. #299, Bradenton, FL 34209(hereinafter referred to as the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of_____________________________ (“Holder”), or assigns, at ____________________________________________________________________________________

or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time designate in writing to the Maker, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of __________________________ ($___________), at a rate of interest thereon from the date of this Note at Seven percent (7 %) per annum.

Payments of interest shall be made on a monthly basis from the date of this Note until maturity.  This Note shall mature Twenty Four (24) months from the date of this Note, and shall be paid as follows: there shall be a final Principal balloon payment made to the Holder of ___________________________($________________) Dollars on or before _________________ 200_, at which time all principal and accrued interest shall be payable in full.

Any payment of principal or interest on this Note that is not made when due, as herein provided, shall bear interest at the same rate specified above.  In the event any payment is not made within five (5) days of its due date, the Maker shall pay a late charge of five (5%) percent of the amount of the payment, provided that only one (1) such late charge may be collected on any particular payment however long that payment shall remain past due.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium after thirty (30) days prior notice to the Holder, during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock of the Maker as hereinafter provided.

If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve transcending the limit prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Note or under any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity.

Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, notice of dishonor and notice of nonpayment and all other notices are hereby waived by Maker.  No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder, acceptance of a past due installment, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (1) as a novation of this Note or as a restatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of the Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (2) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law; and Maker hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.  No exte nsion of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of the Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless the Holder agrees otherwise in writing.  This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

Maker hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations, any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement and exemption now provided, or which may hereafter by provided, by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America and of the State of Florida, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note except as described above.

This Note shall be convertible at the office of Maker, and at such other place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Maker may designate, into fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest l/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Maker. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be equal to the amount of principle and interest for which a notice of conversion is sent divided by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion determined as hereinafter provided. The price at which shares of Restricted Common Stock Class “A” shall be delivered upon conversion ("Conversion Price") shall be initially ______________ ($._______) per share of Common Stock; provided, however, that such Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in certain instances as hereinafter provided. No p ayment or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends previously declared and paid on the Common Stock upon conversion of part or all of this Note into shares of Common Stock. If the Maker elects to prepay part or all of this Note, such right of conversion shall cease and terminate, as to the portion designated for prepayment, at the close of business on the prepayment date, unless the Maker defaults in the prepayment. Further, if conversion is designated, only the face amount of the Note herein shall be used to calculate the number of shares issued hereunder. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued, and instead the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion of this Note will, to the extent necessary, be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.

-1-

Before the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to convert the same into Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Maker, duly endorsed to the Maker or in blank, at the office of the Maker or at such other place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Maker has designated, and shall give written notice to the Maker at said office or place that it elects to convert the same and shall state in writing therein the name or names (with addresses) in which it wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued.  The Maker will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at said office or place to such Holder, or to its nominee or nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled as aforesaid. This Note shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the close of business, on the date of the surrender of the Note for conversion as provided above, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock as of the close of business on such date.  In the event part or all of this Note is presented for conversion, the Holder of this Note will be entitled to receive all interest on this Note which has accrued to the date of conversion on that portion of the Note which is converted, which interest will, at the Holder's election, be payable on the next regularly scheduled interest payment date on this Note or converted into shares of Common Stock.

The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(i)

In case the Maker shall (A) declare a dividend on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Maker is the continuing corporation) any shares of its capital stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that if this Note is surrendered for conversion after such time, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had this Note been converted immediately prior to such time. Su ch adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(ii)

In case the Maker shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Maker is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding dividends or other distributions paid out of earned surplus), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Maker, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution of the Maker filed with the Transfe r Agent) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business of the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

-2-

(iii)

For the purpose of any computation under paragraph (ii) above, the "Current Market Price" on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of Common Stock for 20 consecutive business days selected by the Maker commencing 35 business days before such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if it is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., selected from ti me to time by the Maker for that purpose, or, if no member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. furnishes a bid or ask price for the Common stock, the book value of the Common Stock as determined from an unaudited balance sheet of the Maker prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles as of a date which is 90 days preceding the date of the conversion.

(iv)

All calculations under this paragraph (6) shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest l/100th of a share, as the case may be.

(v)

In case of any consolidation or merger of the Maker with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Maker is the continuing corporation), or in case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker, the Holder of this Note shall after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer have the right to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property which such holder would have been entitled to receive upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.

(vi)

In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph (i) above, the holder of this Note surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any securities other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the amount of such other securities so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in paragraphs (i) to (v), inclusive, above, and the provisions of this paragraph (6) with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.

(vii)

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least l% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (vii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

Whenever the Conversion Price is adjustable as herein provided, the Maker shall notify the Holder of this Note of the change in the Conversion Price within 30 days of any such change.

The Maker will at all times reserve, keep available and be prepared to issue, free from any preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of this Note, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Notes. The Maker shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, endeavor to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized amount of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall be not sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note and all other securities of the Maker which are convertible into Common Stock. The Maker shall, if any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this paragraph require registration with or approval of any governmen tal authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be issued upon such conversion, endeavor to cause such shares to be so registered or approved as expeditiously as possible.

The Maker will pay any and all transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant hereto. The Maker shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or transfer and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which this Note so converted was originally issued, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Maker the amount of any such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Maker that such tax has been paid.

In the event that this Note is collected by law or through an attorney at law, or under advice therefrom, the Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred.  This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

Given under the hand and seal of the undersigned, the date and year indicated above.

DATED this ______________, 200_.

Lessee will commit no act of waste, will take good care of the premises, and will comply with all laws, regulations, rules and orders of any federal, state, or local government agencies or departments. Lessee will be responsible for all restoration costs associated with the premises, regardless whether the restoration costs relate to the Lessee’s mining activities on the premises or prior mining activities on the premises. Lessee will make all necessary repairs to the premises at its expense.

9.

Abandoned Property.  All of Lessee’s property remaining on the premises after this Lease terminates shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed or stored by Lessor at Lessee’s risk and expense.

10.

Assignment or Subletting. Lessee shall not assign or encumber this Lease or sublet the premises without Lessor’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably with­held. Should the Lease be assigned or the premises sublet as provided in this Paragraph, Lessee shall remain primarily liable on this Lease, but Lessor, at its option, may demand payment of rent from Lessee and/or Lessee’s assignees or sublessees. If Lessee is a corporation, Lessee may assign this Lease or sublet the premises to its parent or subsidiary or to a corporation with which it has consolidated or into which it has merged.

11.

Taking by Eminent Domain. If there is any taking by eminent domain that materially affects Lessee’s use of the premises, this Lease shall terminate when title vests in the authority exercising the right of eminent domain. The rent shall be apportioned as of the day of termination and any rent paid for a period beyond that date shall be repaid to Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any part of the award to landlord for the taking but Lessee may file a claim for an award on its behalf.

12.

Lessor’s Remedies. If Lessee defaults in the payment of rent or in the performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Lessor may give Lessee notice of the default. If Lessee does not cure any rent default within ten (10) days or any other default within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice, Lessor may terminate this Lease on not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee. On the date specified in the notice, this Lease shall terminate, and Lessee shall at once quit and surrender the premises to Lessor. If this Lease is terminated by Lessor, Lessor may thereafter takeover possession of the premises by any lawful means and remove Lessee or other occupants and their property.

13.

Reletting Surrendered Premises. If Lessor has recovered posses­sion of the premises by reason of Lessee’s default, Lessor may at its option occupy the premises or may subdivide or consoli­date the premises with other adjoining premises for reletting. Lessor may relet the premises or any part of them as Lessee’s agent, for a term or terms to expire before, at the same time as, or after the original expiration date of this Lease. Lessor may receive the rent and apply it first to the payment of Lessor’s expenses in connection with the recovery of possession, alter­ing, subdividing or consolidating with other adjoining premises and reletting, including brokerage and reasonable attorney’s fees, and then to the payment of damages in amounts equal to the rent due under this Lease and to the cost and expense of performing Lessee’ s other covenants. Lessee agrees, whether or not Lessor has relet, to pay to Lessor damages equal to the rent and other sums to be paid by Lessee under this Lease, less the net proceeds of the reletting as ascertained from time to time. These sums shall be payable by Lessee on the first day of each month or as demanded by Lessor. In reletting the premises, Lessor may grant rent concessions, and Lessee shall not be credited with them. No reletting shall constitute a surrender and acceptance or be deemed evidence of one. If Lessor elects to actually occupy and use the premises or any part of them itself during any part of the balance of the term of this Lease, there shall be allowed against Lessee's obligation for rent or damages during the period of Lessor's occupancy the reasonable value of the occupancy, not to exceed the rent set out in this Lease and the occupancy shall not be construed as a release of Lessee's liability hereunder. Lessee waives all right of redemption to which Lessee might be entitled by any law now or hereafter in force. Lessor's remedies set out in this Paragraph are in addition to any remedy allowed by law.

14.

Waiver of Performance. Either party’s failure to insist on strict performance of any part of this Lease, or to exercise any option, shall not be construed as a waiver of the performance in any other instance. This Lease cannot be changed or terminated orally.

15.

Lessor May Cure Defaults. If Lessee defaults in the performance of any covenant or condition of this Lease, Lessor may, on reasonable notice to Lessee (except that no notice need be given in case of emergency), cure the default at Lessee’s expense and the reasonable amount of all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lessor (whether paid by Lessor or not) shall be deemed additional rent payable on demand.

16.

Lessee May Cure Defaults.  If Lessor defaults in the performance of any covenant or condition of this Lease or any deeds to secure debt or encumberances on the Leased Premises, Lessee may, on reasonable notice to Lessor (except that no notice need be given in case of emergency), cure the default at Lessor’s expense and the reasonable amount of all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lessee (whether paid by Lessee or not) can be at Lessee’s option offset from the monthly rent then due and owing.

17.

Mechanic’s Lien. Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after notice from Lessor, discharge any mechanic’s lien for materials or labor claimed to have been furnished to the premises on Lessee’s behalf.

18.

Notices. Any notice by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly given only if delivered personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed (a) if to Lessee, at the premises, (b) if to Lessor at Lessor’s address set out in this Lease or (c) at such addresses as Lessee or Lessor from time to time may designate in writing. Notice shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery if delivered personally, and if mailed, upon the third day after the date of mailing.

19.

Lessor’s Right to Inspect Premises. Lessor may enter the premises at any reasonable time on reasonable notice to Lessee (except that no notice is needed in case of emergency) to inspect the premises or make those repairs, replacements, and additions to the premises or any building thereon, as Lessor deems necessary or desirable. Lessee shall have no claim or cause of action against Lessor solely for entering the premises in accordance with this Paragraph.

20.

No Representations. Neither party has made any representations or promises, other than those contained in this Lease or in some further writing signed by the party making the representation or promise.

21.

Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that so long as Lessee pays the rent and any additional rent required under this Lease and performs its covenants, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the premises for the term provided, subject to the provisions of this Lease.

EX-14 11 ex14.htm CODE OF ETHICS

Exhibit 14


CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS


Silver Falcon Mining, Inc.


Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Adopted July 24th, 2009


1.

Introduction

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code”) has been adopted by our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee and summarizes the standards that must guide our actions.  While covering a wide range of business practices and procedures, these standards cannot and do not cover every issue that may arise, or every situation where ethical decisions must be made, but rather set forth key guiding principles that represent Company policies and establish conditions for employment at the Company.


We must strive to foster a culture of honesty and accountability.  Our commitment to the highest level of ethical conduct should be reflected in all of the Company’s business activities including, but not limited to, relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, competitors, the government and the public, including our shareholders.  All of our employees, officers and directors must conduct themselves according to the language and spirit of the Code and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior.  Even well-intentioned actions that violate the law or this Code may result in negative consequences for the Company and for the individuals involved.


One of our Company’s most valuable assets is our reputation for integrity, professionalism and fairness.  We should all recognize that our actions are the foundation of our reputation and adhering to this Code and applicable law is imperative.


2.

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

We are strongly committed to conducting our business affairs with honesty and integrity and in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.  No employee, officer or director of the Company shall commit an illegal or unethical act, or instruct others to do so, for any reason.


If you believe that any practice raises questions as to compliance with this Code or applicable law, rule or regulation or if you otherwise have questions regarding any law, rule or regulation, please contact the General Counsel.  The Company also holds information and training sessions to promote compliance with the laws, rules and regulations that affect our business.


3.

Trading on Inside Information

Using non-public information to trade in securities, or providing a family member, friend or any other person with a “tip”, is illegal.  All non-public information should beconsidered inside information and should never be used for personal gain.  You are required to familiarize yourself and comply with the Company’s policy against insider trading, copies of which are distributed to all employees, officers and directors and are available from the Legal Department and the Human Resources Department.  You should contact the Legal Department with any questions about your ability to buy or sell securities.

4.

Protection of Confidential Proprietary Information

Confidential proprietary information generated and gathered in our business is a valuable Company asset.  Protecting this information plays a vital role in our continued growth and ability to compete, and all proprietary information should be maintained in strict confidence, except when disclosure is authorized by the Company or required by law.


Proprietary information includes all non-public information that might be useful to competitors or that could be harmful to the Company or its customers if disclosed.  Intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as business, research and new product plans, objectives and strategies, records, databases, salary and benefits data, employee medical information, customer, employee and suppliers lists and any unpublished financial or pricing information must also be protected.


Unauthorized use or distribution of proprietary information violates Company policy and could be illegal.  Such use or distribution could result in negative consequences for both the Company and the individuals involved, including potential legal and disciplinary actions.  We respect the property rights of other companies and their proprietary information and require our employees, officers and directors to observe such rights.


Your obligation to protect the Company’s proprietary and confidential information continues even after you leave the Company, and you must return all proprietary information in your possession upon leaving the Company.


5.

Conflicts of Interest


Our employees, officers and directors have an obligation to act in the best interest of the Company.  All employees, officers and directors should endeavor to avoid situations that present a potential or actual conflict between their interest and the interest of the Company.


A “conflict of interest” occurs when a person’s private interest interferes in any way, or even appears to interfere, with the interest of the Company, including its subsidiaries and affiliates.  A conflict of interest can arise when an employee, officer or director takes an action or has an interest that may make it difficult for him or her to perform his or her work objectively and effectively.  Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee, officer or director (or his or her family members) receives improper personal benefits as a result of the employee’s, officer’s or director’s position in the Company.

 

-2-


Although it would not be possible to describe every situation in which a conflict of interest may arise, the following are examples of situation which may constitute a conflict of interest:


·

Working, in any capacity, for a competitor, customer or supplier while employed by the Company.


·

Accepting gifts of more than modest value or receiving personal discounts or other benefits as a result of your position in the Company from a competitor, customer or supplier.


·

Competing with the Company for the purchase or sale of property, services or other interests.


·

Having an interest in a transaction involving the Company, a customer or supplier (not including routine investment in publicly traded companies).


·

Receiving a loan or guarantee of an obligation as a result of your position with the Company.


·

Directing business to a supplier owned or managed by, or which employs, a relative or friend.


Situations involving a conflict of interest may not always be obvious or easy to resolve. You should report actions that may involve a conflict of interest to the General Counsel.


In order to avoid conflicts of interest, each of the Company’s senior level employees holding the positions of (1) Chief Executive Officer, (2) Chief Financial Officer, (3) Chief Operating Officer, (4) President, or (5) General Counsel must inform the Company if they are contacted by outside organizations regarding advisor appointments, consultant positions or board appointments so that a determination can be made concerning any conflict of interest, if a new relationship or proposed appointment could be expected to give rise to a conflict.


6.

Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

Protecting Company assets against loss, theft or other misuse is the responsibility of every employee, officer and director.  Loss, theft and misuse of Company assets directly impact our profitability.  Any suspected loss, misuse or theft should be reported to the General Counsel.


The sole purpose of the Company’s equipment, vehicles and supplies is the conduct of our business.  They may only be used for Company business consistent with Company guidelines.

 

-3-


7.

Corporate Opportunities

Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves business opportunities that arise through the use of corporate property, information or position.  No employee, officer or director may compete with the Company.  Competing with the Company may involve engaging in the same line of business as the Company, or any situation where the employee, officer or director takes away from the Company opportunities for sales or purchases of products, services or interests.


8.

Fair Dealing

Each employee, officer and director of the Company should endeavor to deal fairly with customers, suppliers, competitors, the public and one another at all times and in accordance with ethical business practices.  No one should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair business practice.  No payment in any form shall be made directly or indirectly to or for anyone for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or obtaining any other favorable action.  The Company and the employee, officer or director involved may be subject to disciplinary action as well as potential civil or criminal liability for violation of the policy.


Occasional business gifts to and entertainment of non-government employees in connection with business discussions or the development of business relationships are generally deemed appropriate in the conduct of Company business.  However, these gifts should be given infrequently and their value should be modest.  Gifts or entertainment in any form that would likely result in a feeling or expectation of personal obligation should not be extended or accepted.


Practices that are acceptable in commercial business environments may be against the law or the policies governing federal, state or local government employees.  Therefore, no gifts or business entertainment of any kind may be given to any government employee without the prior approval of the Legal Department.


The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) prohibits giving anything of value directly or indirectly to any “foreign official” for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.  When in doubt as to whether a contemplated payment or gift may violate the FCPA, contact the Legal Department before taking any action.



9.

Quality of Public Disclosures

The Company has a responsibility to communicate effectively with shareholders so that they are provided with full and accurate information, in all material respects, about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  Our reports and documents filed or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission and our other public communications shall include full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure, and the Company has established a Disclosure Committee consisting of senior management to assist in monitoring such disclosures.

10.

Equal Opportunity, Non-Discrimination and Fair Employment

The Company’s policies for recruitment, advancement and retention of employees forbid discrimination on the basis of any criteria prohibited by law, including but not limited to race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, physical or mental disability, medical condition, marital status, citizenship status, military service status, pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions.  Our policies are designed to ensure that employees are treated, and treat each other, fairly and with respect and dignity.  In keeping with this objective, conduct involving discrimination or harassment of others will not be tolerated.  All employees are required to comply with the Company’s policy on equal opportunity, non-discrimination and fair employment.


11.

Compliance with Antitrust Laws

The antitrust laws prohibit agreements among competitors on such matters as prices, terms of sale to customers and allocating markets or customers.  Antitrust laws can be very complex, and violations may subject the Company and its employees to criminal sanctions, including fines, jail time and civil liability.  If you have any questions, consult the Legal Department.


12.

Political Contributions and Activities

Any political contributions made by or on behalf of the Company and any solicitations for political contributions of any kind must be lawful and in compliance with Company policies.  This policy applies solely to the use of Company assets and is not intended to discourage or prevent individual employees, officers or directors from making political contributions or engaging in political activities on their own behalf.  No one may be reimbursed directly or indirectly by the Company for personal political contributions.


13.

Environment, Health and Safety

The Company is committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable environmental and workplace health and safety laws and regulations.  The Company strives to provide a safe and healthy work environment for our employees and to avoid adverse impact and injury to the environment and communities in which we conduct our business.  Achieving this goal is the responsibility of all officers, directors and employees.



14.

Reporting of any Illegal or Unethical Behavior

 

All employees, directors and officers are expected to comply with all of the provisions of this Code.  The Code will be strictly enforced throughout the Company and violations will be dealt with immediately, including subjecting persons to corrective and/or disciplinary action such as dismissal or removal from office.  Violations of the Code that involve illegal behavior will be reported to the appropriate government authorities.

 

-5-

 


Situations which may involve a violation of ethics, laws or this Code may not always be clear and may require difficult judgment.  Employees should report any concerns or questions about violations of laws, rules, regulations or this Code to the office of the General Counsel.


Any concerns about violations of laws, rules, regulations or this Code by the Chief Executive Officer, President or any senior executive officer or financial officer or Board member should be reported promptly to the General Counsel, and the General Counsel shall notify the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of any violation.  Violations where a conflict of interest involves the General Counsel where the General Counsel is directly involved should be reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee.  When reporting conduct suspected of violating the code, the Company prefers that employees identify themselves so that the Company can take appropriate steps to investigate the report with a follow-up interview.  If an employee wishes to remain anonymous, he or she may do so.  The Company will use all reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the reporting person subject to applicable law, rule or regulation.  An anonymous report should provide enough information about the incident or situation to allow the Company to investigate properly.


The Company encourages all employees, officers and directors to report any suspected violations promptly and will thoroughly investigate any good faith reports of violations.  The Company will not tolerate any kind of retaliation for reports or complaints regarding misconduct that were made in good faith.  Open communication of issues and concerns by all employees without fear of retribution or retaliation is vital to the successful implementation of this Code and the future success of EESV.  You are required to cooperate in internal investigations of misconduct and unethical behavior.


The Company recognizes the need for this Code to be applied equally to everyone it covers.  The General Counsel of the Company will have primary authority and responsibility for the enforcement of this Code, subject to the supervision of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or, in the case of accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, the Chief Financial Officer and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Company will devote the necessary resources to enable the General Counsel to establish such procedures as may be reasonably necessary to create a culture of accountability and facilitate compliance with the Code after review by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Questions should be directed to the office of the General Counsel.


 

15.

Waivers and Amendments

Any waivers of the provisions of this Code for executive officers or directors may only be granted by the Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed to the Company’s shareholders.  Any waivers of this Code for other employees may only be granted by the General Counsel.  Amendments to this Code must be approved by the Board of Directors and amendments of the provisions in this Code applicable to the Chief Executive Officer and the senior executive officers will also be promptly disclosed to the Company’s shareholders.
