1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History
and Organization
Standard
was incorporated on September 24, 1998 and has no subsidiaries and no affiliated
companies. It has not been in bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings
since its inception. Nor has it been involved in any material reclassification,
merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of any significant assets not in
the
ordinary course of business. Standard’s executive offices are located at 2429 -
128th Street, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, V4A 3W2 (Tel:
604-538-4898).
Standard
is engaged in the exploration of a mineral claim known as the “Standard”. (see
Part
1, “Exploration and Development of the Standard Claim”).
Standard
is referred to as being in the “pre-exploration” stage by its auditors. This
term is generally used in Financial Accounting Standards to describe a company
seeking to develop its ideas and products. Standard is not in the development
stage with regards to any mineral claim. No ore reserve has been discovered
and
no substantial exploration has been done on its mineral claim. Standard is
purely an exploration company. There is no assurance that any ore reserve will
ever be found and that Standard will have sufficient funds to undertake the
exploration work required to identify an ore reserve.
Standard
owns the exclusive rights to all minerals on the Standard claim except for
coal
which is under a separate license. There are virtually limited possibilities
that there is any coal on the Standard claim. The claim is in good standing
until February 23, 2008. The actual land is owned by the Crown (the Province
of
British Columbia). If Standard does not perform exploration work or pay
cash-in-lieu in the amount of $3,100 on or before February 23, 2008 the rights
to the mineral claim will expire and the ground can be staked by someone
else.
Standard
has no revenue to date from the exploration of the Standard claim, and its
ability to effect its plans for the future will depend on the availability
of
financing. Such financing will be required to explore the Standard claim to
a
stage where a decision can be made by management as to whether an ore reserve
exists and can be successfully brought into production. Standard anticipates
obtaining such funds from its directors and officers, financial institutions
or
by way of the sale of its capital stock in the future (see Part
1, Item 2 - “Plan of Operations”),
but
there can be no assurance that Standard will be successful in obtaining
additional capital for exploration activities from the sale of its capital
stock
or in otherwise raising substantial capital.
Standard
is responsible for filing various forms with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) such as Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB.
The
shareholders may read and copy any material filed by Standard with the SEC
at
the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC,
20549. The shareholders may obtain information on the operations of the Public
Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an
Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and
other
information which Standard has filed electronically with the SEC by assessing
the website using the following address: http://www.sec.gov.
Standard has no website at this time.
-4-
Planned
Business
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information
contained in the financial statements of Standard and the notes, which form
an
integral part of the financial statements, which are attached
hereto.
The
financial statements mentioned above have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
are
stated in United States dollars.
Standard
presently has minimal day-to-day operations; consisting mainly of maintaining
the Standard claim in good standing and preparing the reports filed with the
SEC
as required.
Risk
Factors
Our
shareholders and any future investors must be aware of the following risk
factors prior to investing in Standard’s common stock. It must be emphasized
that Standard, if any of these risks become fact, may have to cease operations
and our shareholders and any future investors could lose part or all of their
investment.
RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH OUR
COMMON STOCK
1. Penny
stock rules may make buying or selling of our shares difficult.
The
trading in our shares will is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules. The SEC has
adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends
our shares to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors,
must
prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the
transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the
delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in
the
penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current
quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon
broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting
transactions in our shares, which could severely limit their market price and
liquidity of our shares. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types
of investors are required to comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning
the transfer of penny stock. These regulations require broker-dealers
to:
- |
Make
a suitability determination prior to selling a penny stock to the
purchaser;
|
- |
Receive
the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction;
and
|
- |
Provide
certain written disclosures to the
purchaser.
|
From
our
standpoint, it might be difficult for us to induce new investors to purchase
shares since they might not want to be involved in a penny stock company. Future
investors must be aware that our shares are in the classification of a penny
stock and therefore be subject to the rules mentioned above and the various
limitations associated with these rules.
2.
|
We
may, in the future, conduct offerings of our common stock in which
case
all shareholdings will be diluted.
|
In
the
future, we may conduct offerings of shares to finance our exploration activities
on the Standard claim or to finance subsequent exploration projects that we
decide to undertake. If we decide to raise money through offerings in the future
all shareholdings will be diluted.
-5-
3.
|
There
are certain internal and external forces will affect the value of
our
trading shares.
|
The
stock
market has experienced extreme volatility in recent years and may continue
to do
so in the future. We cannot be sure an active public market for our shares
will
develop or if an active market should develop that it would continue. The price
for our shares is determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many
factors, including both internal and external forces as follows:
-
variations in our financial results compared to companies similar to ours;
especially in the exploration of the Standard claim compared to other
exploration properties in North America;
-
changes
in earnings estimates, if any, by industry research analysts for our Company
or
for similar companies in the same industry;
-
future
investors' or other market participants' perceptions of our Company as a current
or future investment; and
-
general
or regional economic conditions normally have a wide impact on the price of
shares trading on the stock market and our Company’s shares are affected by
changes in such conditions.
The
problem we encounter with a volatile stock market, which we have no control
over, is that we might not require funds when the market price of our shares
are
high but when the price is lower we might require funds to maintain the Company
and explore the Standard claim. This would result in having to issue additional
shares during lower prices; resulting in a greater dilution effect on our
shareholders.
4.
|
We
may not be able to maintain a quotation of our common stock on the
OTCBB
due to not filing the required information as it is due, which would
make
it more difficult for an investor to sell our shares.
|
We
cannot
guarantee that it will always be available for quotation. The OTCBB is not
an
issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have
any
listing requirements per se, to be eligible in maintaining a quotation on the
OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Securities
already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings
will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their
required filing during that time.
5. We
are
not planning to declare a dividend in either cash or shares in the near
future.
We
are
not planning to declare a dividend in either cash or shares in the near future
since our policy will be to retain any earnings received for the future
exploration of the Standard or any other mineral claims obtained by us.
Dividends are only declared by your Director when he feels that surplus funds
can be distributed to the shareholders without encroaching upon working capital
of our Company.
7.
|
We
want to advise our shareholders and future investors that the purchase
of
shares in our Company involves a high degree of
risk.
|
An
investment in the shares of our Company is highly speculative and involves
a
high degree of risk. For example, the Company is a start-up situation and the
failure rate for most start-up companies is high. Any person considering an
investment in our shares should be fully aware that they could lose their entire
investment.
-6-
RISK
FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH STANDARD
1.
|
Our
auditors have indicated, in their opinion report, a concern regarding
the
going concern status of our
Company.
|
The
auditors have expressed a concern regarding whether our Company will continue
as
a going concern if it does not receive adequate financing to meet its
obligations. The auditors are indicating there might be substantial doubt
regarding our Company’s continuation as an operating concern over the next
twelve months. If our director is unwilling to advance us some funds to maintain
our Company in good standing, there is the possibility that we might cease
to be
an operating company. As a shareholder of our Company you should read the
auditors’ report and Note 7 to the audited financial statements included in this
Form 10-KSB.
2.
|
We
lack an operating history and have accumulated losses, which are
expected
to continue into the future.
|
Since
inception, we have not realized any revenue to date and have no operating
history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made.
The accumulated losses since February 24, 1998 are $ 168,671. Our ability to
achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent
upon:
- |
Our
ability to successfully explore the Standard
claim;
|
- |
Our
ability to generate future revenues from a viable ore reserve on
the
Standard claim; and
|
- |
Our
ability to reduce our exploration costs in order to increase our
profit
margins.
|
As
in
most mineral claims, the chances of success of identifying and developing an
ore
reserve are extremely remote. The majority of mining companies never find an
ore
reserve and therefore are never profitable.
3.
|
Presently
we have only four employees and will require additional employees
during
the exploration of the Standard
claim.
|
We
currently only have three employees, the President, E. Del Thachuk, Chief
Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, Gordon Brooke and Secretary
Treasurer, Maryanne Thachuk. There is a substantial risk we may not have the
funds necessary to hire additional employees that would be needed in our future
exploration program. We may not be able to maintain the Standard claim in good
standing with the Ministry of Energy and Mines for the Province of British
Columbia if we do not have individuals prepared to work during the exploration
stage.
4.
|
Our
mineral claim is considered “grass roots” because it has not had adequate
exploration work performed on it to identify an ore
reserve.
|
Our
mineral claim is considered a “grass roots” claim having no known ore reserves
associated with it. In addition, there has, over the years, not been enough
exploration work on the claim to determine the extent, if any, of any
mineralization. Therefore, there is a good chance our claim might prove to
be
barren; having no commercial viable mineralization associated with it.
5. We
can
spend funds on exploration with no assurance we will prove the Standard claim
has an ore body associated with it.
No
matter
how many dollars are spent in the future on the Standard claim, there is no
guarantee that such expenditures will result in it being a property of merit;
having a proven commercially viable ore reserve on it. We might spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars and prove nothing. As more money is required for
exploration, the present and future investors will have their share positions
diluted without realizing any future benefits from the Standard claim.
-7-
6.
|
We
may not be able to raise money for exploration when needed due to
the
prevailing price of gold which is beyond our
control.
|
Even
with
gold prices having increased over the past year, there is reluctance in the
investment community to consider speculative ventures such as exploration
companies. With this reluctance, we might find it difficult to raise any money
and therefore inhibit any future exploration on the Standard claim. When gold
prices are lower, we will have a difficult time to attract money even if we
have
started to identify gold showings on the Standard claim. The market price of
gold is beyond our control and will greatly affect our raising of money.
7.
|
Our
Company is a one-property company, which does not allow for exploration
of
another mineral claim in the event no ore reserve is discovered on
the
Standard claim.
|
Our
only
mineral claim is the Standard claim, which has no known ore reserves on it.
Being a one claim company means that if the Standard claim does not prove to
have any viable mineral reserves associated with it, there is no other claim
which we can immediately explore. Most investors would want to have an
investment in a company that has some diversification in its mineral properties
to allow for continual operations.
8.
|
Our
mineral property, when explored, may not be of economic quality to
warrant
a decision to go into production.
|
We
might
discover an ore reserve which is either too small or the ounces per ton makes
it
uneconomical to develop. Such a mineral deposit would not enhance the value
of
the Standard claim and have resulted in money having been spent, which would
have proven nothing. No production decision can be made if this is the case.
Minerals are only economic to us if they can be sold above the cost of mining
them; otherwise, the Standard claim has little or no value.
9.
|
We
will have to compete with both large and small mining companies for
such
things as money, properties of merit, workers and
supplies.
|
In
both
the United States and Canada, there are many large and small mining companies
each trying to explore and, hopefully, eventually developing their mineral
properties into a producing mine. We are not in direct conflict with the larger
mining companies in North America such as Newmont Mining Corp., Inco Limited,
Barrick Gold Corp. and Teck Cominco Limited, to name a few. These larger
companies have the available money to explore their properties and the
professional personnel to assist in the exploration process. Unless a major
mineral reserve is discovered on the Standard claim, the larger mining companies
would have no interest in either developing the claim themselves or joint
venturing with us. The competition to us would be from the smaller exploration
companies who are competing for money to explore their mineral claims and in
hiring professional staff to assist them. There is only a limited amount of
money available for exploration as well as professional personnel during the
exploration season. We might not be able to attract either the money or
professional personnel due to the other smaller exploration companies having
more money and better known mineral properties.
10.
|
Weather
interruptions in the Province of British Columbia may affect and
delay the
proposed exploration operations.
|
The
weather in the Province of British Columbia is always uncertain since the annual
rainfall, especially in the Bralorne area, can be many inches in the fall and
spring months. The winters are marked with below zero temperatures and
accumulated snow covers of several feet. The constant rain, during the spring
and fall months, will lessen the chances of our exploration crew performing
any
meaningful work on the Standard claim due to the possibilities of injuries
from
slippery rock surfaces and the inconvenience of setting up equipment
-8-
that
becomes immediately wet. During the drier summer months, the Ministry of
Forestry for the Province of British Columbia might impose bans on exploration
to avoid the possibilities of forest fires. With these factors in mind, our
exploration season could be reduced substantially and we might not be able
to
obtain the results we want during our exploration program.
11.
|
The
terrain surrounding the Standard claim is rugged and is not conducive
to
exploration activities.
|
The
terrain surrounding the Standard claim is mountainous and extremely rugged
with
steep ridges and deep valleys. The exploration crew will find it difficult
to
explore the entire Standard claim without the use occasionally of a helicopter.
Access to the claim during the winter months is virtually impossible due to
the
heavy snow conditions. Even with snowmobiles, the exploration crew would find
it
difficult to reach our claim and return to Gold Bridge within one day. It is
not
an option during the winter to use tent facilities on our claim due to the
possibility of snow slides. The terrain has a definite effect on the exploration
activities on the Standard claim.
12.
|
We
will have to address the environmental concerns in the Bralorne area
and
adhere to the various Acts legislated to protect the
environment.
|
During
the exploration stage, there are few problems with environmental issues in
the
Province of British Columbia if the exploration work involves mapping,
establishment of a grid, soil and rock sampling and some minor drilling. If
the
exploration program involves work near an existing stream or removal of a
substantial amount of overburden and foliage, then permission for the work
must
be obtained from one of the various Ministries involved in that area of
environmental concern. If a production decision is ever made, we will have
to
adhere to various Acts established by the Provincial Government. Under these
Acts the main concerns are wildlife, including fish in streams, and vegetation.
The Government does not want exploration activities to cause excessive hardship
on the environment and
to
disfigure our claim for decades to come. It is important to protect wildfire
since the area in which our claim is situated has been their natural habitat
for
centuries. The cost of adhering to these Acts might be too expensive for us
and
exploration activities might have to be cancelled or delayed until adequate
money is available to us to adhere to the requirements of the Acts. At the
present time, we have no indication as to what the dollar amount of adherence
would be.
13.
|
We
are a small Company without much money to devote to a full exploration
program
|
on
our mineral claim.
|
The
small
size of our Company and the present lack of money means a limited exploration
program on our claim. Unless adequate money is raised, we will be unable to
devote the time necessary to fully explore our claim. With only a limited budget
for exploration activities, we will not have many employees to perform the
exploration activities on our claim. By limiting our operations, it will take
longer to explore the Standard claim. Our shareholders should be aware that
it
might take a number of years to realize any exploration results from our claim
due to the present lack of exploration money.
14.
|
We
cannot guarantee the title of our claim since there may be unregistered
claims that we are unaware of at this
time.
|
We
cannot
guarantee absolute title to the Standard claim due to such factors as prior
unregistered transactions, native land claims or undetected defects in title.
We
have taken all the necessary precautions to eliminate any of these elements
as
far as are reasonably possible. Nevertheless, the future, and especially if
and
when a production decision is made on the Standard claim, there may be claims
which presently we are completely unaware of. We have no way of insuring against
such claims and cannot estimate at the present time if there are any elements
out there which will effect the title to the minerals on our claim. If there
are, this could result in lengthy and costly legal actions, which at the present
time we do not have the funds to carry on.
-9-
15.
|
At
the present time, we will have difficulty in attracting mining personnel
who would like to work for a well-funded company having an assortment
of
mineral properties.
|
Being
a
small exploration company with only the Standard claim, we might not be able
to
attract mining personnel to carry on our exploration activities when needed.
Many geologists and workers are drawn to companies which are better funded
than
us and have several properties which can be worked on at any given time. Once
an
exploration program is completed on one property the personnel are transferred
to another property to commence work on it. This basically guarantees a
continual stream of work for exploration personnel. We, at this time, cannot
offer workers this form of continual work. To offset this, we might have to
hire
lesser knowledgeable workers who are prepared to work for several weeks and
then
become unemployed. Without quality mining personnel, there is no assurance
we
will be able to obtain the exploration information we require to make future
decisions. The quality of our workers should be of concern to our shareholders
since they would want to know that there is a possibility of obtaining the
best
results possible from qualified personnel.
16.
|
We
do not carry any insurance policy to protect workers during the
exploration stage other than as required by
legislation.
|
Injury
to
personnel is enhanced due to the effects of weather and the terrain. We have
no
insurance to cover such hazards to workers on our claim other than Workers’
Compensation which is required to be contributed by us for any workers working
on our claim. Basically this insurance covers only wages while off work and
does
not provide for any long-term benefits. We are not prepared to pay the premiums
required to obtain accident insurance for the short duration of our exploration
program. By not having accident and liability insurance we realize we are
subject to lawsuits which, if successful, would impair the working capital
of
our Company and might render us insolvent.
17.
|
Our
Directors do not have experience in hard rock mining and none of
the
officers are professional
geologists.
|
Our
President, Del Thachuk, has mining experience over the past 30 years; mainly
in
the placer mining through the private ownership of a property in Atlin, British
Columbia. In addition, he was the President of Red Fox Minerals Ltd., a company
previously listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange, Canada, ten years ago. His
experience in hard rock mining is limited. He does not have any professional
training as a mining person and has gained any knowledge he has from a hands
on
approach to exploration. Gordon Brooke and Maryanne Thachuk have no mining
experience and have never been involved in the exploration of a mineral
property. To explore our claim, we will have to rely upon mining consultants;
an
expensive way to explore with no guarantees of favorable results.
18.
|
We
do not carry a policy for key man insurance, which in the event we
wish to
replace our management team funds will not be available to do
so.
|
We
have
not subscribed to a key man insurance policy in the event that our current
director and President either departs from our Company or meets an untimely
end.
There will be no proceeds from insurance to allow us to attract an individual
to
replace our President and it is unlikely we will have extra money on hand to
be
allocated for this purpose.

ITEM
2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
History
of the Standard claim
The
Standard claim was staked February 24, 1999 after the rights of the previous
owners had expired. The claim covers 15.8 square miles located within the Bridge
River Gold Camp near the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Mine. The Bralorne-Pioneer
Property represents the largest single gold producer in B.C., having produced
over 4 million ounces of gold from ore averaging 0.53 oz/ton during the period
1932-1971.
Standard
engaged the services of Calvin Church, Professional Geologist, to prepare a
geological report on the Standard claim. His report was dated May 27, 1999
and
parts of it are noted in this Form 10-KSB. Church’s report covers the geology
and mineralization in the Bridge River mining camp and potential for discoveries
on the Standard claim.
Location,
Access and Physiography of the Standard claim
The
Standard claim is located approximately 113 miles north of Vancouver and 2.5
miles southeast of the town of Gold Bridge in southwestern British Columbia.
The
geographical centre of the claim is given by the U.T.M. coordinates 516600E,
5626700N (Lat. 50°47’35”N, Long. 122°45’53”W) on N.T.S. mapsheet 92J/15. The
town of Gold Bridge can be accessed by all weather gravel road (highway #40B)
from Lillooet or via the Hurley River forestry road from Pemberton. Access
to
the north end of the claim is by four-wheel drive vehicle up Fergusson Creek
to
the headwaters above 5,800 feet elevation. Helicopters are available from bases
in the towns of Pemberton or Lillooet.
The
property is situated near the northwest end of the Bendor Range within the
Coast
Mountains where steep west facing slopes of Mt. Fergusson range from 5,000
to
8,500 feet. Sub-alpine scrub alder and hemlock trees grow at lower elevations
in
the southwest corner of the claim and rock exposure is good along peaks and
ridges in the east half of the claim. The winters are cold with generally high
snowfall accumulations and summers are hot and dry.
Claim
Status
The
Standard claim was staked by a professional staker and is registered in the
Lillooet Mining Division of British Columbia. The claim was then sold to
Standard Capital Corporation, of Surrey, B.C., who own the claim outright.
Mineral tenure is secure for one year from the date of staking as described
below.

Regional
patterns of metal zonation across the eastern flank of the Coast Plutonic
Complex divide the camp into gold rich and silver rich deposits related to
the
proximity with the central plutons (bodies of medium to course-grained igneous
rock that formed beneath the surface due to the solidification of magma).
‘Congress type’ mineralization, represented by low gold-silver ratios and
antimony rich ores, developed distal to coast granitic intrusives in shear
zones
and Tertiary porphyry dykes. Mineralization at the Bralorne and Pioneer mines
consists of gold and arsenopyrite bearing quartz veins filling in echelon
tension fractures in the Bralorne diorite (a group of course-grained igneous
rocks intermediate in composition between acidic and basic) and Pioneer
greenstones. The Standard property is located in a transition zone between
gold-arsenic rich and silver-antimony rich zones. Although economic
mineralization has not yet been identified on the property, rock samples from
the Waterloo show multielement anomalies and significant gold values to warrant
further investigation.
-11-
An
exploration program including reconnaissance mapping, prospecting and
geochemical sampling is recommended to determine the extent of the mineralizing
system on the Standard claim. Further programs of trenching and drilling are
recommended contingent on favorable results of each preceding exploration
phase.
Exploration
activities undertaken between January 18 to 21, 2002
The
Legal
Corner Post is located approximately 2 miles southeast of the Village of
Bralorne and on the north side of Fergusson Creek. Access to the Standard claim
is by snowmobile part way up the Fergusson Creek access trail to the 5,800
feet
elevation and approximately 1 mile up Fergusson Creek.
The
claim
boundary is characterized by extreme topographical conditions. Sub-alpine scrub
alder and hemlock trees grow at the creek elevations and rock outcropping
exposure is good along peaks and ridges in the east half of the canyon. The
winters are cold with generally high snowfall accumulations and summers are
hot
and dry.
Assessment
work for 2002 filed with B.C. Minfile documents the immediate claim area being
prospected. Trenching and underground exploration work was completed on adjacent
ground. Two zones of mineralization were identified. Assays from these sheared
vein structures ranged from 8.7 g/t to 28.2 g/t gold over variable widths of
10
cm to 80 cm.
Exploration
activities undertaken between February 2 to 3 and 13 to 14, 2003
The
objective of this physical work program was to lay out a sampling grid system
in
preparation for a geochemical soils sampling program. A budget of approximately
$3,600 Cdn was expended to lay out 2,350 metres of sampling grid. The next
step
to be taken is to initiate a geochemistry soils program over the entire grid
and
prospect the ridge for geological structures.
The
Standard claim had sufficient work and cash expended on it to maintain it in
good standing with the Ministry of Energy and Mines until February 24,
2004.
In
2004
the Company maintained the Standard claim in good standing through the purchase
of certain PAC (portable assessment credits) expenses. The Company was able
to
purchase these credits at 30 cents on the dollar and maintain the claim in
good
standing for a further year. PAC credits occur when an exploration company
does
sufficient work on its claim to maintain it in good standing for a maximum
of 10
years. Any excess exploration credits are applied to a PAC account and can
be
used on other properties owned by the company or sold to companies needing
assessment work.
In
June
2004, William Timmins, P. Eng., wrote a geology report on the Standard claim
and
proposed a budget for recommended work on the claim. The total proposed
expenditures for Phase I are $25,000 and for Phase II $50,000 for a total
proposed budget of $75,000. Between September 30, 2004 and November 30, 2004,
work was done on the Standard claim in the amount of $3,600 Canadian plus a
$180
filing fee.
In
June
and October 2005, a physical work program was conducted by Edward Skoda on
the
Standard claim. Reconnaissance prospecting determined the Saddle Area, located
at the headwaters of the northern tributary of Blackbird Creek, required
geophysics to explore below the Morraine Deposits. The services of SJV
Geophysics were contracted to conduct magnetic field and very low frequency
surveys over the Saddle area. The results of the survey would determine a Phase
II diamond drill program. The objective of the physical work program was to
determine if any anomalous ground lay below the glacial Morraine
Deposits.
-12-
Work
undertaken during the current year was performed by Kokanee Placer, an
independent geological company, which maintained the Standard claim in good
standing until February 23, 2008.
The
Company's Main Product
The
Company's primary product will be the sale of minerals, both precious and
commercial. No minerals have been found to exist on the Standard claim and
therefore the possibilities of obtaining a cash flow from the sale of minerals
in the future might be remote.
The
Company's Exploration Facilities
The
Company will be exploring and developing, if warranted, the Standard claim
and
does not plan to build any mill or smelter. There exists a fully equipped
smelter within 5 miles of the Standard claim but it is privately owned and
may
or may not accept ore from the Company to process. If the Company is unable
to
obtain a commitment when the claim is proven to have reserves thereon, it might
have to transport the ore to other smelters, which are located at great
distances from the Standard claim.
During
the exploration period, the Company can use tent facilities, during the summer
months, to house its geological workers or it can obtain hotel accommodation
in
either the towns of Gold Bridge or Bralorne.
Investment
Policies
The
Company does not have an investment policy at this time. Any excess funds it
has
on hand will be deposited in interest bearing notes such as term deposits or
short term money instruments. There are no restrictions on what the director
is
able to invest or additional funds held by the Company. Presently the Company
does not have any excess funds to invest.

The
Company accrues $495 for November’s fee and $500 each for February’s and
May’s fees to its auditors, Madsen & Associates, CPA's Inc., for the
review of its 10-QSBs and $2,500 for the examination of the Form
10-KSB.
In addition, the Company has accrued $750 each for its November 10-QSB,
February and May 10-QSBs; also, $1,500 has been accrued for this
Form
10-KSB in order that the accountant can prepare the applicable working
papers and other information to be submitted to the auditors for
their
review of the Form 10-QSBs and
10-KSBs.
|
ii. Consulting
fees of $5,000 have been paid for certain consulting work undertaken by an
independent consultant on behalf of the company.
iii The
Company has incurred certain expenses during the year for filing its various
Forms 10-QSB and 10-KSB with the SEC. The expense for filing these Forms 10-QSB
was $250 per quarter and the Form 10-KSB is $400.
iv. In
February 2006, the Company paid $4,000 to Kokanee Placer for assessment work
on
the Standard claim. This expenditure maintained the claim in good standing
until
February 23, 2008.
v. The
Company has paid annual filing fees to The Company Corporation of $215.
Franchise taxes were paid by the Company to the State of Delaware in the amount
of $182 including interest.
vi. The
Company does not compensate its directors for the service they perform for
the
Company since, at the present time it does not have adequate funds to do so.
Nevertheless, management realizes that it should give recognition to the
services performed by the directors and officers and therefore has accrued
$200
per month. This amount has been expensed in the current period with the
offsetting credit being allocated to "Capital in Excess of Par Value" on the
balance sheet. The Company will not, in the future, be responsible for paying
either cash or shares in settling this accrual.
vii. Office
expenses of $205 were paid to the Company’s directors for expenditures on behalf
of the Company. Printing costs were $1,192. General expenses of $956 for
photocopying, fax and courier were paid.
viii. The
Company does not incur any rental expense since it used the personal residence
of its President. Similar to management fees, rent expense should be reflected
as an operating expense. Therefore, the Company has accrued $100 per month
as an
expense with an offsetting credit to "Capital in Excess of Par
Value".
ix. The
Company does not have its own telephone number but uses the telephone number
of
its President. Similar to management fees and rent, the Company accrues an
amount of $50 per month to represent the charges for telephone with an
offsetting entry to "Capital in Excess of Par Value".

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Standard Capital Corporation (pre-
exploration stage company) at August 31, 2007, and the statement of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2007 and
2006 and for the period September 24, 1998 (date of inception) to August 31,
2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as
well
as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Standard Capital Corporation at
August 31, 2007, and the results of operations, and cash flows for the years
ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period September 24, 1998 (date of
inception) to August 31, 2007, 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. The Company will need additional working
capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the financial
statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August
31, 2007
1. ORGANIZATION
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September
24, 1998 with the authorized common stock of 25,000,000 shares at $0.001 par
value.
The
Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral
properties. At the report date mineral claims, with unknown reserves, had been
acquired. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially
minable ore deposit and therefore has not reached the development stage and
is
considered to be in the pre-exploration stage (see note 3).
The
shareholders, at the Annual General Meeting held on February 20,
2004,
approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation whereby
the
authorized share capital of the Company would be increased from 25,000,000
common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share to 200,000,000
common
shares with a par value of $0.001 per
share.
|
2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting
Methods
The
Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
Dividend
Policy
The
Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of
dividends.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between financial reporting and the
tax
bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted
tax
rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected
to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded,
when
it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be
realized.
|
On
August
31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $168,671. The
tax benefit of approximately $50,600 from the loss carry forward has been fully
offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is
doubtful since the Company has no operations. The loss carry forward will expire
starting in 2015 through 2027.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Statement
of Cash Flows
|
For
the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less
to be
cash equivalents.
|
Basic
and Diluted Net Income (loss) Per
Share
|
Basic
net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income
(loss)
per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number
of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued
on
the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes
antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown
in the
report.
|
Unproven
Mineral Claim Costs
Costs
of
acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven properties are
expensed as incurred.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized on the sale and transfer of goods or completion of
service.
Advertising
and Market Development
The
company expenses advertising and market development costs as
incurred.
Financial
and Concentrations Risk
The
Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit
risk.
|
Environmental
Requirements
At
the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral
claim
acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost
cannot
be made.
|
Estimates
and Assumptions
Management
uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates
that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Financial
Instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable,
are considered
by management to be their estimated fair value due to their short term
maturities.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting
pronouncements
will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. ACQUISITION
OF MINING CLAIMS
The
Company acquired one 18 unit metric claim known as the Standard claim
located within the Bridge River gold camp near the town of Gold Bridge,
160 kilometres north of Vancouver, British Columbia with an expiration
date of February 23, 2008. The claims may be extended for one year
by the
payment of $3,780 Cdn or the completion of work on the property of
$3,600
Cdn plus a filing fee of $180 Cdn.
|
The
claims have not been proven to have commercially recoverable reserves
and
therefore the acquisition and exploration costs have been
expensed.
|
4. SIGNIFICANT
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
On
August
31, 2007, officers-directors and their families had acquired 12% of the common
capital stock issued, and have made no interest, demand loans of $50,448 and
have made contributions to capital of $37,800 to the Company in the form of
expenses paid for the Company.
5. STOCK
OPTION PLAN
At
the Annual General Meeting held on February 20, 2004, the shareholders
approved a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) whereby a maximum of 5,000,000
common shares were authorized but unissued to be granted to directors,
officers, consultants and non-employees who assisted in the development
of
the Company. The value of the stock options to be granted under the
Plan
will be determined on the fair market value of the Company’s shares when
they are listed on any established stock exchange or a national market
system at the closing price as at the date of granting the option.
No
stock options have been granted under this
Plan.

CAPITAL
STOCK
|
During
October and November 2005 the Company completed a private placement
offering of 990,000 common shares for cash of
$49,500.
|
The
Company has completed one Regulation D offering of 1,295,000 shares of its
capital stock for $3,050. In addition, the Company has completed an Offering
Memorandum whereby 990,000 common shares were subscribed for at a price of
$0.05
per share for $49,500.
7.
|
GOING
CONCERN
|
The
Company will need additional working capital to service its debt
and to
develop the mineral claims acquired, which raises substantial doubt
about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company
as
a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital
and
the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it
believes
will accomplish this objective through additional equity funding,
and long
term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for the
coming
year.
