Varca Ventures, Inc. and Subsidiary
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
August 31, 2012
(Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Varca Ventures, Inc. (“Varca”) and its subsidiary (collectively the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In management's opinion, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.  The interim results for the three and six months ended August 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.


The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2012, which contains the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended February 29, 2012.



NOTE 2 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Operations and  Merger


Varca Ventures, Inc. (“Varca”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 19, 2010, and is an exploration stage mining company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Varca’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Wildcat Mining Corporation (“Wildcat”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 5, 2005 as a mining company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Wildcat currently owns and leases several patented lode mining claims located in La Plata County, Colorado, which are known as the Idaho Property and the Mayday Property. The Company (defined as Varca and its wholly owned subsidiary Wildcat) has not generated any revenues to date and has focused its efforts on obtaining capital and regulatory permits necessary to begin mining operations.


On October 7, 2011, Varca completed a share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) with Wildcat  pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated October 7, 2011, by and among Varca, Wildcat and the stockholders of Wildcat (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  

 

Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Varca acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Wildcat in exchange for 63,215,114 shares of common stock of Varca, and Wildcat became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Varca (the “Reverse Merger”). At the closing of the Share Exchange, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Wildcat was converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one share of common stock of Varca, par value $0.0001 per share. There were no shares of preferred stock or stock options issued and outstanding by Wildcat as of the closing of the Share Exchange. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, Varca had 13,600,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


Simultaneously with the closing of the Share Exchange, Varca's sole officer and director surrendered 8,000,000 shares of Varca's common stock to Varca for cancellation. After giving effect to the Share Exchange, there were 68,815,114 issued and outstanding shares of Varca's common stock, of which the former stockholders of Wildcat owned approximately 92%. Each holder of a share of common stock of Varca is entitled to one vote per share.


As discussed above, in connection with the Reverse Merger, the former holders of Wildcat became the majority shareholders of Varca. The Reverse Merger was accounted for as a “Reverse Acquisition” in which Wildcat is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (“Acquirer”) and Varca is deemed to be the accounting acquiree (“Acquiree”). Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prior to the Reverse Merger are those of Wildcat and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Wildcat. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Reverse Merger include the assets and liabilities of Wildcat and the Acquiree and the historical operations of Wildcat and the Acquiree and its subsidiary from the closing date of the Reverse Merger.



6




Basis of Presentation


The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all accounts of Varca and its subsidiary, Wildcat. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Use of Estimates


Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Estimates that are significant to the financial statements include those with respect to the value of stock-based compensation and transactions and management’s assessment of any impairment associated with long-lived assets.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Significant estimates include the realizability of mining assets, amounts of obligations for future asset retirement obligations and the value of share based compensation.


Mineral Properties, Exploration and Development Costs


All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Costs of acquisition of mineral rights and claims are capitalized upon acquisition.   Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is determined to be a commercially mineable property. The Company is in the process of obtaining and securing required regulatory permits, the cost of which is expensed as incurred.  To determine if capitalized costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value As of August 31, 2012, the Company had recorded no impairment charges related to its mining properties and rights.  


Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property’s useful life are capitalized.  Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in net income (loss).


Deposit for Reclamation Bonds


The Company’s mining exploration and operations are subject to reclamation and remediation requirements.  Minimum standards have been established by various governmental agencies.  The Company is required to post bonds with the State of Colorado in an amount determined by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for reclamation of the Company’s mineral properties located within in the state.   The liability for reclamation is classified as noncurrent based on the expected timing of expenditures and the bonds are backed by restricted cash deposits. The reclamation bond earns minimal interest.


Asset Retirement Obligation


The Company records asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations , which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset   The liability is typically accreted to fair value at the end of each period through charges to operating expenses; however, in instances where a  reclamation bond has been posted there is no accretion of the related liability.





7




Earnings Per Share Information

  

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and other instruments convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for any stock options or warrants, and the ‘if converted’ method for any convertible debt or convertible preferred stock.  In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for all periods presented in these financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of August 31, 2012, there were 2,483,333 potentially issuable shares.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and notes payable.  The Company believes the carrying value of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value given their short-term nature.  The Company believes the carrying value of its notes payable approximates fair value due to their secured nature and the relatively short-term to maturity.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented.


Subsequent Events


The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued for disclosure consideration.  


New Accounting Pronouncements


The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.



NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN


In the course of the Company’s permitting approval and mining activities, the Company has sustained losses and expects such losses to continue unless and until the Company can achieve net operating revenues.  Future issuances of the Company’s equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Company currently has no revenue from operations and has incurred cumulative net losses of $ 7,708,601 since its inception.

  

The Company expects to finance its operations primarily through its existing cash and future financings. However, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it will be required to obtain additional capital in the future to continue its operations and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such capital, through equity or debt financings, or any combination thereof, whether on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet the Company’s ultimate capital needs and to support its growth. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, the Company’s operations would be materially negatively impacted. The Company’s ability to complete additional offerings is dependent on the state of the debt and equity markets at the time of any proposed offering and such market’s reception of the Company and the offering terms. In addition, the Company’s ability to complete an offering may be dependent on the status of the Company’s business and permitting activities, which cannot be predicted.

The uncertainty about the Company’s ability to successfully resolve these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and the Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN MINING PROPERTIES AND RIGHTS


On February 8, 2011, James M. Clements, a former director and chairman of the board of directors of the Company, conveyed his rights to all mining claims and property interests in the California Mining District of La Plata County, Colorado (such property commonly known as the “Idaho Property”) for 40,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock valued at its stated value, or $80,000, and the Company’s assumption of an underlying note payable in the amount of $425,000 to an unrelated party.  The Series A Preferred Stock was converted into Wildcat’s common stock before the Share Exchange. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the note holder $20,000 of loan modification fees and interest totaling $8,286 before March 21, 2011 and issued a $25,000 secured convertible note which is convertible into 12,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  The Company capitalized a total of $550,000 related to the acquisition of the rights associated with the Idaho Property.


On June 1, 2006, the Company entered into a ten-year mining lease for patented mining claims and improvements for property interests in the Sneffels Mining District, Ouray County, Colorado (such property commonly known as the “Mayday Mine”).  The mining lease will be extended beyond ten years, for an indefinite period, as long as there is continuous mining, production and/or development on the site, with no lapse in activity for more than 365 consecutive days.  The lease agreement states that no work is required at the site during the first five years, and then a minimum amount must be spent for exploration, development, mining or related operations to benefit the mining properties.  Those amounts are $15,000 during the sixth year, $20,000 during the seventh year and $30,000 for each year thereafter.


The Mayday lease also accrues royalty payments in advance of production based on a formula which is adjusted by the United States Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.  (“CPI-U”), with the base month of June, 2006.  The accrued royalty is $15,959 and $13,340 as of August 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012, respectively.  


The Company also has staked a mining claim on certain property covering 357 hectares (882.6 acres) located in the Similkameen Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada (“Varca Property”). This property consists of one claim held by Iqbal Boga, as trustee, under a Declaration of Trust dated February 2, 2010 in favor of Varca and is located about 140 kilometers east of Vancouver and 23 kilometers east-northeast of Hope, south central British Columbia.  Varca paid $300 to acquire the Varca Property.


The Company is presently in the exploration stage at the Idaho Property, Mayday Mine, and the Varca Property, and has not yet generated revenue from mining operations.

On April 9, 2012, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) determined that the Company was in violation of section 301 of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”). Section 301 of the CWA prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States except as in compliance with section 404 of the CWA. Section 404 authorizes the Unites States Army Corps of Engineers to issue permits allowing discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. The violations were the result of Company’s construction activities that took place in 2008. These activities discharged dredged or fill materials into water of the United States without authorization. The Order describes actions necessary for the Company to achieve compliance with sections 301 and 404 of the CWA.  The Company has responded to the EPA and, through its efforts to satisfy the requirements levied by the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (“CDRMS”). The Company is seeking approval from CDRMS and EPA to execute a remediation plan that will satisfy the requirements of the Order. There is the possibility of additional civil penalties and the Company is hopeful that its remediation efforts will satisfy the actions necessary to achieve compliance with the Order and avoid additional civil penalties. The Company is in the process of preparing a response to the EPA and does not expect the costs of the remediation effort or potential regulatory penalties to be significant.


From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


In September 2012, the Company received the third and final $200,000 installment of a $600,000 note that the Company entered into with Sarasota Varca II, LLC. The note was also amended in September 2012 to modify the conversion feature from being convertible into common stock at $0.25 per share to $0.10 per share (see Note 6). The Company analyzed the transaction based on ASC 470 and concluded that the amendment resulted in a substantial modification of terms of the debt. Accordingly, the Company will recognize the amendment as an extinguishment of debt which provides that the fair value of the new debt agreement will be compared with the carrying value of the existing debt and a gain or loss on extinguishment be recognized.


On October 2, 2012, the Company issued 35,000 shares of common stock to a third party for services.

Overview


On October 7, 2011, the registrant Varca Ventures, Inc. ("Varca") completed a share exchange transaction (the "Share Exchange") with Wildcat Mining Corporation, a privately held company incorporated in the State of Nevada ("Wildcat") pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011, by and among Varca, Wildcat and the stockholders of Wildcat (the "Share Exchange Agreement").  Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, the term "we," "us," "our" or "the Company" refer to Varca and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wildcat, and their respective businesses following completion of the Share Exchange.

The decrease of interest expenses is mainly due to the decrease in average outstanding interest bearing debt for the three month ended August 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2011.


For the six months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, we have incurred total interest expense in the amount of $58,177  and $86,400 respectively. The decrease of interest expenses is mainly due to the decrease in average outstanding interest bearing debt for the six months ended August 31, 2012 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2011.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Cash flows used in operations were $752,032 during the six months ended August 31, 2012, compared to net cash used in operations of $490,913 during the prior year period. The increase in cash used in operations is primarily due to exploration and development activities to prepare the mining site for ore removal.


Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended August 31, 2012 was $0, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $8,288 for the six months ended August 31, 2011. Generally, all costs of exploration and development of our properties are expensed until such time as we determine the properties have commercially mineable reserves.  Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended August 31, 2011 was for the purchase of mining rights and properties.


Cash provided by financing activities was $430,000 and $562,500 for the six months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the six months ended August 31, 2012, we received proceeds from related party convertible notes payable and notes payable of $410,000 and $20,000, respectively. During the six months ended August 31, 2011, we received proceeds from notes and convertible notes of $460,000, related party convertible notes of $92,500 and $20,000 from issuance of common stock.


As of August 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $9,099 and a working capital deficit of $1,488,693.  


We are an exploration stage company with no revenues or operating activities. We will need additional funds to complete our business plan; without it our business will likely fail. We do not anticipate generating any revenue for the foreseeable future. When additional funds become required, the additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock or sale of part of our interest in our mineral claim. Our ability to raise additional capital through either of these methods is unknown. The uncertainty about our ability to successfully obtain additional funding raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Going Concern Consideration


Substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern is raised due to the absence of an established source of revenue, recurring losses from operations, and our need for additional financing in order to fund our operations in fiscal 2013.  


Off-Balance Sheet Agreements


As of August 31, 2012, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or 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. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS


Not required under Regulation S-K for “small reporting companies”.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to our inability to sufficiently segregate duties as a result of a small number of personnel in the Company and the fact that we do not have an audit committee in place.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
