ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “Raven Gold,” “our,” “us,” “we” and the “Company”) refer to Raven Gold Corp.

 

We were originally incorporated on February 9, 2005, in the State of Nevada under the name of Riverbank Resources, Inc., as a developmental stage company. Subsequently, we changed our name to Raven Gold Corp.  The Company's principal executive offices are located at 7250 NW Expressway, suite 260, Oklahoma City, OK. The Company’s telephone number is (405) 728-3800.

We are in the business of the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility.

We intend to explore for base and precious metals on our property. There can be no assurances that valuable minerals exist on our property until proper geological work and analysis is performed. Our property has no proven or probable mineral reserves. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our property. Further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete an exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit would constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit).

Compliance with Government Regulation

We will be required to conduct all mineral exploration activities in accordance with the state and federal regulations. Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, well safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations. We have had no material costs related to compliance and/or permits in recent years, and anticipate no material costs in the next year. We will not be required to obtain a permit in order to conduct Phases 1 and 2 of our proposed exploration program.

Competition

There is aggressive competition within the mineral industry to discover and acquire mining properties considered to have commercial potential. We compete for the opportunity to participate in promising exploration projects with other entities, many of which have greater resources than us. In addition, we compete with others in efforts to obtain financing to explore and develop mineral properties.

 

Employees

At April 30, 2009, we had 1 employee. We anticipate that we will be conducting most of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties. To the extent that we are successful in developing our business and in our efforts to diversify our business, we would anticipate hiring additional

 

employees/contractors in the next year to handle anticipated growth. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “Raven Gold,” “our,” “us,” “we” and the “Company”) refer to Raven Gold Corp.

 

We were originally incorporated on February 9, 2005, in the State of Nevada under the name of Riverbank Resources, Inc., as a developmental stage company. Subsequently, we changed our name to Raven Gold Corp.  The Company's principal executive offices are located at 7250 NW Expressway, suite 260, Oklahoma City, OK.

Results of Operations

Year Ended April 30, 2009 Compared to Year Ended April 30, 2008

 

Revenues for the year ended April 30, 2009 were $nil ($nil – 2008) with no change from the previous year.

 

For the year ended April 30, 2009, operating expenses totaled $35,836 ($224,475 – 2008). This was a decrease of $188,639 or 84%. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in administrative costs incurred by the Company.

 

 

Interest expense for the year ended April 30, 2009 was $251,991 ($136,826 – 2008) an increase of $115,165 due to an increase in the calculation period of outstanding notes payable by the Company from April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008.

 

The net loss was $282,196 ($3,083,184 – 2008) for the year ended April 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in impaired mineral rights expense and administrative expenses.

 

On May 9, 2008, we failed to meet our lease commitment on the La Currita gold leases in Mexico. As a result of the default the La Currita leases were terminated. Write down our investment in joint venture was recorded in the year ended April 30, 2008 financial statements.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Total current assets as of April 30, 2009 were $287 ($1,835 – 2008), all in cash. Additionally, a shareholders deficiency of $3,578,169 as of April 30, 2009 ($3,295,972 – 2008), a direct result of the decreasing expenses during the year ended April 30, 2009. We have historically incurred losses and have financed our operations through loans and from the proceeds of the corporation selling shares of our common stock privately.

 

The number of common shares outstanding decreased from 75,240,000 to 35,240,000 effective March 8, 2008. This decrease was a result of the surrender of shares by our shareholders.

 

We had a negative cash flow of $1,548 from operating activities for the year ended on April 30, 2009 ($198,836 – 2008), a decrease in cash outflow of approximately 99%.

 

Cash inflow from financing activities was $nil the year ended April 30, 2009 ($479,000 – 2008). This decrease was attributable to our inability to raise financing.

 

Cash outflow from investing activities was $nil for the year ended April 30, 2009 as compared to cash outflow from investing activities of $600,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2008.($600,000 – 2008).

 

The on-going negative cash flow from operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

 

We have not realized any revenues since inception, and for the year ended April 30, 2009 and are presently operating at an ongoing deficit.

 

We have not attained profitable operations and will require additional funding in order to cover the anticipated professional fees and general administrative expenses and to proceed with the anticipated investigation to identify and purchase new mineral properties worthy of exploration or any other business opportunities that may become available to it. We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that sufficient funding from the sale of common stock to fund the purchase and the development of any future projects can be obtained. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding future corporate programs. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financings.

 

 

As of April 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of $3,021,549 ($2,739,352 – 2008). A major portion of debt is attributed to payments made for mineral properties, investment in a joint venture and operating deficiency.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant 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 is material to stockholders.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our business objectives. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

We may rely on equity sales of the common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned business activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Raven Gold Corp. (formerly Riverbank Resources, Inc.)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Raven Gold Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and from inception on February 9, 2005 through April 30, 2009. 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 audits.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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. We believe that our audits provide 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 Raven Gold Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and from inception on February 9, 2005 through April 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1b to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses of $3,578,169 as of April 30, 2009, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1b. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2009

(Stated in US Dollars)

 

 

 

Riverbank Resources Inc. (an exploration stage company) (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 9, 2005. The Company is a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.

 

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At April 30, 2009, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $3,578,169 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $3,021,549 (April 30, 2008 - $2,739,352) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

 

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

 

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchaser to be cash equivalent.

 

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.

 

 

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar as substantially all of the Company’s operations were in the United States. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with the SFAS No. 52.

 

Assets and liabilities dominated in a foreign currency were translated at the exchange rate in effect at the period end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of difference exchange rates from period to period were included in the cumulative effect of foreign currency translation adjustment account in stockholders’ equity.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, 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.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 39% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

On December 12, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue No. 07-01 “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements”. This issue will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

SFAS 155, Accounting for certain Hybrid Financial Instruments and SFAS 156, Accounting for servicing of Financial Assets were recently issued. SFAS 155 and 156 have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on the financial statements.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007) “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R) in 2007. The revision broadens the application of SFAS 141 to cover all transactions and events in which an entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. This standard requires that transaction costs related to business combinations be expensed rather than be included in the acquisition cost. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of this standard will be on the fair value recorded for future business combinations after adoption.

 

On February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. The fair value option established by this statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Companies are required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. It does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible items.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest, and requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161), that requires new and expanded disclosures regarding hedging activities. These disclosures include, but are not limited to, a prescribed tabular presentation of derivative data; financial statement presentation of fair values on a gross basis, including those that currently qualify for netting under FASB Interpretation No. 39’ and specific footnote narrative regarding how and why derivatives are used. The disclosures are required in all interim and annual reports. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

 

On December 31, 2008, the SEC published the final rules and interpretations updating its oil and gas reporting requirements. Many of the revisions are updates to definitions in the existing oil and gas rules to make them consistent with the petroleum resource management system, which is a widely accepted standard for the management of petroleum resources that was developed by several industry organizations. Key revisions include the ability to include nontraditional resources in reserves, the use of new technology for determining reserves, permitting disclosure of probable and possible reserves, and changes to the pricing used to determine reserves in that companies must use a 12-month average price. The average is calculated using the first-day-of-the-month price for each of the 12 months that make up the reporting period. The SEC will require companies to comply with the amended disclosure requirements for registration statements filed after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the financial statements.
