Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Mining exploration costs

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties.

Mineral property acquisitions are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased in accordance with FASB ASC 805-20-55-37. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves.

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

As of February 29, 2012, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and has incurred no acquisition or exploration costs.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Reclamation costs

Exploration of mineral resources in China is governed by the Mineral Resources Law of 1986, as amended on January 1, 1997, and the Implementation Rules for the Mineral Resources Law, effective March 26, 1994. On February 12, 1998, the State Council issued three sets of regulations, which, together with the mineral resources law and implementation rules are referred to as the “Mineral Resources Law”. The regulations are (i) Regulation for Registering to Explore Mineral Resources Using the Block System; (ii) Regulation for Registering to Mine Mineral Resources; and (iii) Regulation for Transferring Exploration and Exploration Rights.

The basis of laws and policies for environmental protection in China are the Environmental Protection Law, the Environmental Impact Assessment Law and the Mineral Resources Law. The State Administration of Environmental Protection and its provincial counterparts are responsible for the supervision, implementation and enforcement of environmental protection laws and regulations. Provincial governments also have the power to issue implementing rules and policies in relation to environmental protection in their respective jurisdictions. Applicants for exploration rights must submit environmental impact assessments and those projects that fail to meet environmental protection standards will not be granted licenses.

After exploration, the licensee must perform water and soil maintenance and take steps towards environmental protection. After the exploration rights have expired or the concessionaire stops mining during the permit period and the mineral resources have not been fully developed, the concessionaire must perform water and soil maintenance, land recovery and environmental protection in compliance with the original development scheme, or must pay the costs of land recovery and environmental protection. After closing, the mining enterprises shall perform water and soil maintenance, land recovery and environmental protection in compliance with mine closure approval reports, or must pay the costs of land recovery and environmental protection.

Penalties for breaching the Environmental Protection Law include a warning, payment of a penalty calculated on the damage incurred, or payment of a fine. When an entity fails to adopt preventative measures or control facilities that meet the requirements of the enacted environmental protection standards, it is subject to suspension of production or operations and for payment of a fine. Material violations of environmental laws and regulations causing property damage or casualties may result in criminal liabilities.

It is difficult to estimate the full costs of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start operations. The Company will record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim the mined land by recording charges to production costs for each unit of gold mined over the life of the mine. The amount to be charged will be based on management’s estimate of reclamation costs to be incurred. The accrued liability will be reduced as reclamation expenditures are made.

Certain reclamation work will be performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures will be charged to operations as incurred.

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments

ASC Topic 825 – “Financial Instruments” , formerly SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” , defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments in the management of foreign exchange, commodity price, or interest rate market risks.

Income taxes

The Company adopted ASC Topic “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of inception. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

We currently have no issues that create timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, a valuation allowance has not been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.

No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carry forwards totalling approximately $49,008 as of February 29, 2012, that will be offset against future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $49,008 expire in various years through 2030. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Corporation believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic “ Earnings per Share” . The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the “as if converted” basis. For the period January 28, 2010 (date of inception), through February 29, 2012, there were no potential dilutive securities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC insurance limit

Special purpose entities

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing activities.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

In August 2001, ASC Topic “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” became effective. FAS 144 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to their estimated fair value based on the best information available.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic “Share-Based Payment” We will recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. Tiger did not grant any new employee options and no options were cancelled or exercised during the period January 28, 2010 (date of inception), through February 29, 2012. As of February 29, 2012, there were no options outstanding.

Business segments

ASC Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has evaluated the requirements of ASC Topic 280, and has determined that it is not applicable.

Start-up expenses

The Company has adopted ASC Topic “ Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities” , which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with our formation have been included in our general and administrative expenses for the period from January 28, 2010 (date of inception), through February 29, 2012.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Our financial statements are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC Topic “ Foreign Currency Translation” . Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements in that entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material effect on our financial statements when implemented.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-8an amendment to the accounting guidance for goodwill in order to simplify how companies test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the twostep goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material effect on our financial statements when implemented.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05 an amendment to the accounting guidance for presentation of comprehensive income. Under the amended guidance, an entity may present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In either case, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. For public companies, the amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and shall be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We elected not to early adopt. Other than a change in presentation, the implementation of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for fair value measurement and disclosure. Among other things, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements around fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires disclosure of the level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but whose fair value must be disclosed. It also clarifies and expands upon existing requirements for measurement of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as instruments classified in shareholders’ equity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements adopted or enacted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our financial statements.
