ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and development of the Company.
International Gemini Technology Inc. resulted from a one for five reverse split of the common
shares of Gemini Technology Inc. accomplished in 1993. International Gemini Technology Inc. was
incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, by filing of Memorandum
and Articles of Association on September 20, 1983, under the name Rainbow Resources Ltd. The
companys name was changed to Widescope Resources Ltd. on May 1, 1984, and to Gemini Technology
Inc. on September 17, 1985. Registrant is currently in good standing under the laws of British
Columbia. The registered and records office of the Company and the Companys principal executive
offices are located at #208 828 Harbourside Drive North Vancouver, British Columbia V7P 3R9,
telephone 604-904-8481.
From September 1985 the company became involved in the design and marketing of a circuit board for
a Zenith computer that allowed it to emulate an IBM PC and utilize much of the related software.
Over the next year it broadened its product line to include proprietary computer graphics chips,
custom electronic components and equipment. As the line of proprietary computer graphics chips were
in final development, the demand for the circuit boards for the Zenith computer ended.
The company licensed its graphics chips to third parties, and concentrated on developing second and
third generation products. Due to cash flow problems brought about by external and unforeseeable
circumstances and bad management decisions the company was forced into a position of attempting to
develop a new generation product with little cash.
In August of 1989 the board changed direction and top management. The new strategy was to
accelerate R&D on a blockbuster new product, targeting a small number of very large customers. With
little cash and little ongoing revenue, the inevitable delays to the R&D process caused the company
to be unable to meet payroll in February 1990. All of management resigned and the board of
directors was changed. The shareholders spearheaded an effort to save the Company, which
eventually resulted in the change to the board of directors and a plan to revive the Companys
operations.
During 1991 the Company concentrated considerable effort on establishing a joint venture in
Czechoslovakia to exploit the European market, as well as effort to establish a considerable
technical presence in the Middle East. In addition, contracts and joint ventures were pursued in
Russia, Singapore and Taiwan. As yet none of these efforts has yielded tangible results.
A great deal of time and energy has been expended in 1993 and 1994 in an effort to target and
conclude an acquisition that would be complimentary to Geminis technical and financial
capabilities. This effort continued through 1996, and at the end of 1996 has been unsuccessful.
In July of 1997, Gemini entered into discussions to acquire the assets and intellectual property of
Abraham Publishing Group Inc. and certain other privately owned assets which in combination operate
as a profitable publishing business. These discussions and negotiations had not been concluded by
the end of 1997, but in the first quarter of 1998 resulted in an acquisition agreement with closing
conditional on raising US$3.25 million in expansion capital.
Closing had not taken place by the end of 1998 due to small cap market conditions frustrating
efforts to raise the required capital. Initiatives were undertaken to identify and review other
potential acquisition or mergers requiring less capital.
The dot.com frenzy in the years 1999 and 2000 distorted valuations and made any prospective
acquisition prohibitively expensive. The return to more normal valuations after mid 2000 has
resulted in fewer but more reasonably priced prospective candidates. However as valuations became
more reasonable the sources of funding became fewer. And the events of September 11 virtually shut
down the availability of funding for most smaller transactions, particularly the size targeted by
the company. Toward the end of the year discussions were entered into on a proprietary medical
device, which had met some amount of success in a niche market in Texas. At yearend discussions
were progressing, particularly as it appeared that this device could be sold in considerable
quantity by the application of effective marketing. This was abandoned as marketing was found not
to be the greatest challenge. The greatest challenge was providing the paperwork for the
multiplicity of insurers ultimately paying for the use of the device.
During 2002 due diligence was done on two businesses, but neither was able to demonstrate the
business case necessary for expansion financing. Accordingly neither was pursued further as a
merger or acquisition candidate, despite one being in the bus shelter advertising business, a
business usually demonstrating generally attractive economics.
During 2003 due diligence was done on several more businesses. All but one were abandoned as not
being able to support the additional financing required to close. One of those abandoned became the
subject of further review toward the end of the year as the owners lowered their price expectation.
At year end, alternatives were being considered including merging with a like business, also
available. A separate business was the subject of low level investigation throughout the year, as
it was fairly early stage. It remained under observation at year end, having made considerable
business progress.
During 2004 alternatives in the resource sector were explored. Oil and gas projects were
investigated, and one in particular was the subject of considerable attention. Increasing energy
prices brought with them increasing expectations on the part of the owners of that project,
ultimately causing interest to wane. Precious metals projects continued to be reviewed as the entry
cost was deemed to be lower, and expenditures in minerals exploration appeared to be more
controllable. Toward the end of 2004, the Directors were contemplating making a proposal on one
particular project.
A proposal was made on a precious metals mining prospect in 2005. The precious metals prospect is
comprised of some 1650 hectares in the Rice Lake Mining area of the Province of Manitoba, Canada.
The property is just over 3 miles from a mine that had produced over 1.3 million ounces of gold
before being closed because it became uneconomic at $35 per ounce gold. (This mine has now been
reopened.) The company carried out an early stage geological and related work during 2005, through
an investment in the company owning the mining claims. It plans to carry out further work in the
2006 summer season.
B. Business overview.
The companys sole activity is its search for a suitable acquisition or acquisitions that can be
made and financed at prices and terms that make business sense. The acquisitions targeted will
provide products and/or services to customers largely in the United States. They should also have
the potential to be grown significantly by excellence in marketing.
World economic conditions, including the trade and budget deficits in the United States, have made
the case for precious metals a compelling one. This, combined with the availability of capital for
precious metals projects has expanded the acquisition search to include precious metals exploration
and development opportunities.
Expected continuing high demand for oil and gas world wide as well as in North America created a
compelling case for oil and gas projects. Offsetting this were rapidly increasing expectations on
the part of project owners.
In April 2005 the Corporation announced that it has entered into a subscription agreement with
Outback Capital Inc. (dba Pinefalls Gold) a privately held Alberta corporation. The agreement
calls for the Corporation to invest $200,000 into Pinefalls Gold via private placement.
Upon receiving proceeds from its private placement Pinefalls Gold commenced recommended phase one
exploration work on its seventeen (17) mining claims in the area of Bissett, Manitoba. The claims
are included in the Rice Lake greenstone belt and cover an area of approximately 1650 hectares.
The claims are the subject of a Qualifying Report dated June 30, 2004 prepared by Edward Sawitzky,
P. Geo. of Arc Metals Ltd. (Arc). Arc prepared the report to standards dictated by National
Instrument 43-101.
In exchange for its investment, the Corporation will receive 4 million units of Pinefalls Gold.
Each unit will consist of one common share and one warrant to purchase an additional common share
at $0.075 for two years. Prior to exercising its warrants the Corporation will own approximately
37% of the then outstanding 10.7 million common shares of Pinefalls Gold. Separately, the
Corporation has entered into an Option Agreement with one of the principal shareholders of
Pinefalls Gold (the PFG Option) which entitles the Corporation to acquire a further 3 million
common shares of Pinefalls Gold in exchange for one million common shares of the Corporation. The
PFG Option is exercisable at the Corporations sole discretion until it expires on March 31, 2006.
Assuming the exercise of both the warrants and the PFG Option, the Corporation will own
approximately 65% of Pinefalls Gold.
The Corporation and Pinefalls Gold have entered into these arrangements on a non-arms length basis.
The two companies have certain directors and principal shareholders in common. The Corporations
directors with conflicts of interest have refrained from voting on the relevant resolutions. The
Corporation is relying on exemptions 5.5(3)[corporation not listed on specified markets] and
5.7(3)[fair market value not more than $2,500,000] from the formal valuation and minority approval
requirements of OSC Rule 61-501 regarding Related Party Transactions.
To enable Gemini to meet its funding obligations Gemini has arranged a non-brokered private
placement to provide working capital to the Company. Gemini will issue up to 2 million units at
$0.15 per unit, where each unit consists of one common share of Gemini (a Share) and one
transferable share purchase warrant (a Warrant). Each warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one common share of Gemini for a term of 24 months, at a price of 18 cents per share. If
the common shares of Gemini, at any time after six months after the closing date of the private
placement, trade on a recognized stock exchange at a price of $0.50 per share or greater for 10
consecutive trading days, then Gemini can provide notice to the holders of the warrants and the
warrants will expire 30 days after the notice is given.
This private placement raised $234,050, which was sufficient to carry out the initial recommended
work program. This was financed by way of an initial investment of $90,000 for approximately 17% of
the outstanding shares of Pinefalls Gold. The results from this program were sufficiently
encouraging that a follow on program is being organized for the 2006 season. At the time of
writing, the company is actively seeking additional property prospects, seeking to strengthen
management, and seeking additional investment.
C. Organizational structure.
The company is part of no other group, nor does it have any subsidiaries. If the Pinefalls Gold
transaction as described herein is consummated it is possible that Pinefalls Gold will become a
partially owned subsidiary of the Company
D. Property, plants and equipment.
The Companys head office and principal facility, which is leased, is located at 828 Harbourside
Drive, North Vancouver. It has no other property, plant, or equipment.
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included herein (see also Selected Financial Data). The financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Refer to Note 9 to the financial statements
for a description of transactions that were subject to material measurement differences between
Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP under Item 17; however, there were no reportable differences which
would require a reconciliation from Canadian GAAP to U.S GAAP during the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003.
Overview
The Companys sole focus is on finding and completing a suitable acquisition, or suitable
acquisitions. This activity is largely carried out by the directors and large shareholders at their
expense. The Companys management team, affiliates and directors have special expertise in the
areas of due diligence, financial analysis and corporate finance strategy with respect to emerging
growth enterprises. Additionally, the Company retains Dockside Capital Group to provide certain
management functions and in so doing can also access its similar expertise. From time-to-time the
Company is approached, through referral, to provide these services on a consulting basis. Thus the
Company generates revenue by providing these services. As these sources of revenue are not core to
the Companys focus, the services are not actively marketed.
Results of Operations
The Company has shown modest losses for the past several years. These losses result largely from
having little or no revenue, rather than having unusual expenses. In the prior year the Company
elected to write down the value of its passive investment, and this resulted in a loss that was
somewhat greater than usual. The expenses of the company are
almost completely related to satisfying regulatory requirements, including the annual meeting,
financial reporting, communications with shareholders; and seeking and evaluating acquisition
prospects for suitability and ability to attract financing.
The results for the year ended December 31, 2005 were impacted by additional legal and accounting
costs related to the private placement to raise funds. The actual exploration costs were funded by
Pinefalls Gold from the proceeds of the investment by the company. This investment in Pinefalls
Gold shows as an asset to the company and does not appear as a cost on the income statement.
Fluctuations in Results
The Companys annual operating results fluctuate, but very little. Revenues at this point are
solely derived from consulting activities which are not core to the Companys focus and will
fluctuate greatly based upon the Companys receipt of infrequent, third-party referrals for these
services. Expenses fluctuate on the basis of postal rate increases, or reductions in courier or
long distance phone rates. Since our daily operations are almost completely related to satisfying
regulatory requirements, including the annual meeting, financial reporting, communications with
shareholders; and seeking and evaluating acquisition prospects for suitability and ability to
attract financing our expenses are dependent on prevailing market rates for communications
services and mailing rates. Similarly, our expenses will continue to increase due to the upward
pressure on professional fees charged to reporting companies for compliance related services such
as legal and audit work as a result of changes to securities legislation throughout North
America.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the Company is organized in Canada, the Companys December 31, 2005 consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
As at December 31, 2005, the Company had accumulated losses totaling $13,376,458. The Company had
a working capital surplus of $86,219 as at December 31, 2005. The continuation of the Company is
dependent upon the continued financial support of shareholders as well as obtaining additional
financing for the current and subsequent resource projects.
As noted, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might arise from
uncertainty. However, had the audit been conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
auditing standards the auditors would have reflected these concerns in their report and would have
included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising concern about the Companys ability to
continue as a going concern.
As at December 31, 2005 the Company had cash and term deposits of $128,126 and a working capital
surplus of $86,219.
Impact of Inflation

Exchange Controls
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted
as, legal advice to any prospective purchaser. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the Companys
shares should consult with their own advisors with respect to their individual circumstances.
There are no laws or governmental decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or
import of capital, or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to
holders of the Companys securities who are not residents of Canada, other than withholding tax
requirements. Reference is made to Item 7. Taxation.
There are no limitations imposed by the laws of Canada, the laws of Alberta or by the charter or
other governing documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common
shares of the Company, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the Investment Act)
and the potential requirement for a Competition Act Review.
The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Act and the Competition Act
Review for a non-resident who proposes to acquire common shares. This summary is of a general
nature only and is not intended to be, nor is it, a substitute for independent advice from an
investors own advisor. This summary does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.
The Canadian Investment Act
The Canadian Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an
individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is
not a Canadian as defined in the Investment Act (a non-
Canadian), unless, after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act (the Minister)
is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of a net benefit to Canada. Under the Investment
Act, a United States citizen qualifies as a World Trade Organization Investor. Subject to the
restrictions noted below, an investment in a Canadian business by a World Trade Organization
Investor would be reviewable under the Investment Act only if it is an investment to acquire
control of such Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on
its financial statements is not less than a specified amount, which for 1999 was $184 million. An
investment in the shares of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian other than a World Trade
Organization Investor when the Company is not controlled by a World Trade Organization Investor,
would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it is an investment to acquire control of the
Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial
statements is $5 million or more, or if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet on the
grounds that the investment relates to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity.
The acquisition by a World Trade Organization Investor of control of a Canadian business in any of
the following sectors is also subject to review if the value of the assets of the Canadian business
exceeds $5 million (as shown on its financial statements): uranium, financial services (except
insurance), transportation services and cultural businesses, which include broadcast media
(publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, music, film and
video products and the exhibition of film and video products), television and radio services. As
the Companys business does not fall under any of the aforementioned categories, the acquisition of
control of the Company, in excess of the $5 million threshold, by a World Trade Organization
Investor would not be subject to such review.
A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for purposes of the Investment Act if the
non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares.
The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the common shares would be
presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on
acquisition, the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of common
shares. Notwithstanding the review provisions, any transaction involving the acquisition of control
of a Canadian business or the establishment of a new business in Canada by a non-Canadian is a
notifiable transaction and must be reported to Industry Canada by the non-Canadian making the
investment either before or within thirty days after the investment.
Certain transactions relating to common shares are exempt from the Investment Act, including:
|
|
an acquisition of common shares by a person in the ordinary course
of that persons business as a trader or dealer in securities; |
|
|
an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the
realization of security granted for a loan or other financial
assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the
Investment Act; and |
|
|
an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an
amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization,
following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of
the Company, through the ownership of common shares, remained
unchanged. |
Canadian Competition Act Review
Investments giving rise to the acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, by one or more
persons of control over, or a significant interest in the whole or part of a business of a
competitor, supplier, customer or other person are subject to substantive review by Canadas
Competition Law Authority, the Director of Investigation and Research (the Director). If or when
the Director concludes that a merger, whether by purchase or lease of shares or assets, by
amalgamation or by combination, or otherwise, prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or
lessen competition substantially, he may apply as may be necessary to eliminate the substantial
lessening or prevention of competition. Such substantive merger review power applies to all
mergers, whether or not they meet limits for pre-notification under the Competition Act.
In addition to substantive merger review, the Competition Act provides for a pre-notification
regime respecting mergers of a certain size. The regime applies in respect of share acquisitions,
asset acquisitions, amalgamations and combinations. For ease of reference, this filing refers
specifically to share acquisition, although the pre-notification regime applies, with the
appropriate modification, to other types of acquisition of control as well.
In order for a share acquisition transaction to be pre-notifiable, the parties to the transaction
(being the person or persons who proposed to acquire shares, and the corporation the shares of
which are to be acquired), together with their affiliates (being all firms with a 50% or more
voting shares linkage up and down the chain) must have:
(i) |
|
aggregate gross assets in Canada that exceed $400,000,000 in value, as shown on their audited
financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year (which must be within the
last fifteen (15) months); or |
(ii) |
|
aggregate gross revenue from sales in, from or into Canada that exceed $400,000,000 for the
most recently completed fiscal year shown on the said financial statements; and |
(iii) |
|
the party being acquired or corporations controlled by that party must have gross assets in
Canada, or gross revenues from sales in or from Canada, exceeding $35,000,000 as shown on the
said financial statements. Acquisition of shares carrying up to 20% of the votes of a
publicly-traded corporation, or 35% of the votes in a private corporation, will not be subject
to pre-notification, regardless of |
|
|
the above thresholds. However, exceeding the 20% or the 35% threshold, and again exceeding
the 50% threshold, gives rise to an obligation of notification if the size threshold is
met. |
If a transaction is pre-notifiable, a filing must be made with the Director containing the
prescribed information with respect to the parties, and a waiting period (either seven or
twenty-one days, depending on whether a long or short form filing is chosen) must expire prior to
closing.
As an alternative to pre-notification, the Director may grant an Advance Ruling Certificate, which
exempts the transaction from pre-notification. Advance Ruling Certificates are granted where the
Director concludes, based on the information provided to him, that he would not have sufficient
grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal to challenge the Merger.
Taxation
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted
as, legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or holder of the Companys shares and no
representation with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any such prospective
purchaser is made. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the Companys shares should consult with
their own tax advisors with respect to their individual circumstances.
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally
applicable to a holder of the Companys shares who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)
(the Canadian Tax Act) and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the
Convention) and at all relevant times is resident in the United States and not resident in
Canada, deals at arms length with the Company, holds the Companys shares as capital property, and
does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Companys shares in or in the course of
carrying on business in Canada (a United States Holder).
This following summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act, the
regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations
announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and the Companys
understanding of the published administrative practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency
(formerly Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation). This summary does not take into account or
anticipate any other changes in the governing law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative
decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax legislation or considerations of any
province, territory or non-Canadian jurisdiction (including the United States), which legislation
or considerations may differ significantly from those described herein.
Dividends On The Companys Shares
Generally, dividends paid by Canadian corporations to non-resident shareholders are subject to a
withholding tax of 25% of the gross amount of such dividends. However,
pursuant to the Convention, the withholding tax rate on the gross amount of dividends paid to
residents of the United States is reduced to 15% or, in the case of a United States corporation
which owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Canadian corporation paying the dividends, to 5%
of the gross amount of such dividends.
Pursuant to the Convention, certain tax-exempt entities resident in the United States may be exempt
from Canadian withholding taxes, including any withholding taxes levied in respect of dividends
received on the Companys shares.
Disposition Of The Companys Shares
In general, a United States shareholder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains
arising on the disposition of the Companys shares, unless such shares are taxable Canadian
property within the meaning of the Canadian Income Tax Act and no relief is afforded under any
applicable tax treaty. The shares of the Company would be taxable Canadian property of a
non-resident if at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding a disposition by the
non-resident of such shares, not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of all
classes of shares of the Company belonged to the non-resident, to persons with whom the
non-resident did not deal at arms length, or to the non-resident and persons with whom the
non-resident did not deal at arms length for purposes of the Canadian Income Tax Act. For this
purpose, issued shares include options to acquire such shares (including conversion rights) held by
such persons. Under the Convention, a capital gain realized by a resident of the United States will
not be subject to Canadian tax unless the value of the shares of the Company is derived principally
from real estate (as defined in the Convention) situated in Canada.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Shareholders of International Gemini Technology, Inc.
We have audited the balance sheets of International Gemini Technology, Inc. as at December 31, 2005
and 2004 and the statements of operations and deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. 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.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles.
The audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other
auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated
February 10, 2004.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA
UNITED STATES REPORTING DIFFERENCES
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory
paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by
conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the
shareholders dated April 12, 2006 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards
which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors report when these
are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. |
|
Nature and Continuance of Operations |
|
|
|
The sole activity of International Gemini Technology Inc. (the Company) is its search for a
suitable acquisition or acquisitions that can be made and financed at prices and terms that
make business sense. The Companys continued operations are dependent upon its ability to
identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition of, a participation in or an investment of an
interest in a transaction. |
|
|
|
The Company has incurred substantial losses to date and additional losses are anticipated in
future business acquisition and development. These financial statements are prepared on a going
concern basis which implies that the Company will continue to realize the carrying value of its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial
statements do not reflect any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or liabilities that
would be necessary should the Company be unable to operate as a going concern. The Companys
ability to continue as a going concern is subject to obtaining financing, acquiring or
establishing business operations and ultimately on achieving profitable operations. (Note 4) |
|
2. |
|
Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted (GAAP) in Canada, which, except as described in Note 9, conform in all
material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Outlined
below are those policies considered particularly significant to the Company. |
|
(a) |
|
Stock-based compensation |
|
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3870 Stock-Based Compensation
and Other Stock-Based Payments. These recommendations establish standards for the
recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based
payments in exchange for goods and services. The standard requires that all new or altered
stock-based awards provided to employees and non-employees are measured and recognized
using a fair value based method. Fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. Any consideration paid by the option holder on the exercise of the options
is credited to share capital. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Use of estimates |
|
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amount of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and
expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
|
|
(c) |
|
Income taxes |
|
|
|
|
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby future
income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date and their corresponding tax
values using the enacted income tax rates at each balance sheet date. Future income tax
assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards and other deductions. The valuation of
future income tax assets is reviewed annually and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a
valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount. |

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. |
|
Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
|
(d) |
|
Loss per share |
|
|
|
|
The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options,
warrants and similar instruments. Under this method the dilutive effect on loss per share
is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options,
warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase
common shares at the average market price during the year. Loss per share is calculated
using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. |
|
|
|
|
Diluted loss per share figures are equal to those of basic loss per share for each year
since the effects of the convertible preferred shares have been excluded as they are
anti-dilutive. |
|
|
(e) |
|
Revenue recognition |
|
|
|
|
Revenue will be recognized when the requirements as to performance for transactions
involving services are met, the amounts involved are determinable and ultimate collection
is reasonably assured at the time of performance. |
|
|
(f) |
|
Impairment of long-lived assets |
|
|
|
|
On January 1, 2004, the Company early adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 3063
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets recommendations. These recommendations provide
accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of impairment of
long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with
infinite useful lives. They require the recognition of an impairment loss for a
long-lived asset when events or changes in circumstances causes its carrying value to
exceed the total undiscounted future cash flows expected from its use and eventual
disposition. The impairment loss is calculated by deducting the fair value of the
asset from its carrying value. This policy has been adopted prospectively and has had
no effect on these financial statements. |
|
|
(g) |
|
Investments |
|
|
|
|
Long-term investments are carried at cost. If it is determined that the value of the
investment is permanently impaired, it is written down to its estimated net realizable
value. |
|
|
|
|
The Company accounts for its investment in PFG using the cost basis as it does not have
significant influence on its investment. |
|
|
(h) |
|
Comparative figures |
|
|
|
|
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted
in the current year. |
3. |
|
Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
and accrued liabilities. It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to
significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments due to
the short term to maturity. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values. |

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
|
a) |
|
PFG Investment |
|
|
|
|
The Company entered into a subscription agreement to invest $200,000 into Outback Capital
Inc. dba Pinefalls Gold (PFG) a private Alberta company with certain directors and
principal shareholders in common with the Company. PFG is an exploration company with
mining claims located in the area of Bissett, Manitoba. The Company will invest $200,000 in
exchange for 4 million units at $0.05 per unit with each unit comprised of one common share
and one share purchase warrant to purchase an additional common share at $0.075 for a period
of two years. Prior to exercising the warrants, the Company will own approximately 37% of
the common shares of PFG. As at December 31, 2005, the Company had invested $90,000 in
exchange for 1.8 million units under this subscription agreement, approximately 17% of the
outstanding common shares of PFG. The Company expects to advance the balance of the funds
prior to the end of the second quarter of 2006. |
|
|
|
|
In addition, the Company entered into an option agreement with one of the principal
shareholders of PFG, a director of the Company, which entitles the Company to acquire a
further 3 million common shares of PFG in exchange for one million common shares of the
Company. The option is exercisable at the Companys discretion and it expired on March 31,
2006. The parties subsequently agreed to extend the agreement until March 31, 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Upon completely funding the subscription agreement and in the event that the Company
exercises both the warrants and the option, the Company would own approximately 65% of the
common shares of PFG. |
|
|
|
|
To fund its commitment to the PFG investment, the Company has arranged a non-brokered
private placement to provide working capital to the Company. The Company will issue up to 2
million units at $0.15 per unit with each unit comprised of one common share and one share
purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share for a
period of 24 months at $0.18 per share. To date, the Company has issued 1,560,333 units and
raised $234,050 in connection with this financing. |

Subsequent Event |
|
|
|
In March 2006, the Company negotiated an extension to the option agreement (see Note 4(a)) which
extends the exercise date to March 31, 2007. The option with one of the principal shareholders
of PFG, a director of the Company, entitles the Company to acquire a further 3 million
common shares of PFG in exchange for one million common shares of the Company. |

Reconciliation between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles |
|
|
|
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). There were no reported differences for the Company for
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 which would require reconciliation from
Canadian GAAP to US GAAP. However, a description of accounting principles generally accepted in
the Unites States (US GAAP) and practices prescribed by the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) that ordinarily result in material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP
are as follows: |
|
|
|
(a) Stock-based compensation |
|
|
|
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the US issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The statement
encourages entities to adopt a fair value methodology of accounting for employee stock-based
compensation. |
|
|
|
As permitted by the statement, the Company has continued measuring compensation costs using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation issued to employees as
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the
excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the date of the granting of options
to employees and directors to purchase stock over the amount an optionee must pay to acquire the
stock at that date. This excess is recognized by a charge to operations over the vesting period.
As the exercise price of options granted by the Company to employees and directors approximates,
or is greater than, the market value at the grant date, the Company has determined no
compensation cost is required to be recorded for US GAAP purposes, relating to employee
stock-based compensation awards. |
|
|
|
However, commencing January 1, 2004 under Canadian GAAP, the Company records employees stock
compensation using the fair value method, accordingly for 2004 an adjustment is required to
reconcile to US GAAP. |
|
|
|
Under SFAS No. 123, stock options granted to non-employees for services rendered to the Company
are required to be accounted for as compensation cost and charged to operations as the services
are performed and the options are earned. The compensation cost is to be measured based on the
fair value of the stock options granted. This method is similar to the Canadian GAAP adopted as
of January 1, 2002. The stock-based compensation expense in respect of stock options granted to
non-employees, under US GAAP, based upon the fair value of the options granted, determined using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model, would be $nil cumulatively from the date of adoption of
SFAS No. 123 to December 31, 2001. |
|
|
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No.
123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and
neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based
payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based
on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123(R) covers a wide
range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans,
performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS
No. 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Public entities will
be required to apply SFAS No. 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005 or December 15, 2005 for small business issuers. |
|
|
|
The Company anticipates that upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) there will be no material
difference between stock compensation as determined under US GAAP versus that determined under
Canadian GAAP. |

|
Reconciliation between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (continued) |
|
|
|
(b) Earnings per share |
|
|
|
With respect to contingently issuable shares held in escrow, US GAAP requires that contingently
issuable shares only be included in the calculation of earnings per share when eligible for
release from escrow. Consequently, contingently issuable escrow shares would not have been
included in weighted average common shares outstanding and therefore would not have been
included in the calculation of loss per share for the year. |
|
|
|
(c) Income taxes |
|
|
|
Under US GAAP, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Under Canadian GAAP, the
effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period of substantive enactment. The
application of this difference under US GAAP does not result in a material difference between
future income taxes as recorded under Canadian GAAP. |
|
|
|
(d) Reporting comprehensive income |
|
|
|
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial
statements. Comprehensive income equals net income (loss) for the year as adjusted for all other
non-owner changes in shareholders equity. SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to
be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, comprehensive loss
equals the net loss. |
|
|
|
(e) Development stage company |
|
|
|
Pursuant to US GAAP, the Company would be considered a development stage company as the Company
is devoting its efforts to establishing commercially viable mineral properties. However, the
identification of the Company as such for accounting purposes does not impact the measurement
principles applied to these financial statements. |
|
|
|
(f) Recent accounting pronouncements |
|
|
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs
liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys
equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No.
123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee
services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost
relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost
will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Public
entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R in the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Management is
currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Companys reported
financial position or results of operations |
|
|
|
In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based
Payment, to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. The Company will consider SAB
No. 107 during the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. |

|
|
|
(f) Recent accounting pronouncements (continued) |
|
|
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections A
Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Under the provisions of SFAS No.
154, a voluntary change in accounting principle requires retrospective application to prior
period financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. A change in depreciation, amortization, or
depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets must be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. The guidance contained in APB
No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a
change in accounting estimate was not changed. The Company will implement this new standard
beginning January 1, 2006. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the
Companys future reported financial position or results of operations. |
|
|
|
In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS115-1/124-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, which addresses the
determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other
than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting
considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires
certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statements No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and No. 124, Accounting for
Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. This FSP is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this FSP
will have a material impact on the Companys future reported financial position or results of
operations |
|
|
|
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to simplify and make more
consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement
for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No.
155 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to
allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that
pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No.
155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys
first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This
standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys future reported financial
position or results of operations. |
