PART I
ITEM 1. |
DESCRIPTION OF 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 Companys 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, 2008, we had 0 employees. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
Results Of Operations
Year Ended April 30, 2008 Compared to Year Ended April 30, 2007
Revenues for the year ended April 30, 2008 were $nil ($nil 2007), with no change from the previous year.
For the year ended April 30, 2008, operating expenses totaled $224,475 ($154,680 2007). This was an increase of $69,795 or 45%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in administrative costs incurred by the Company.
The net loss was $3,083,184 ($154,581 2007) for the year ended April 30, 2008. The decrease in profitability for the year ended April 30, 2008 was due to an increase administrative costs and a substantial impairment of mineral rights.
3
On May 9, 2008 Raven Gold failed to meet its lease commitment on the La Currita gold leases in Mexico. As a result of the default the La Currita leases were terminated. The Company has recorded in the financial statements a complete write down of the Companies investment in joint venture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total current assets as of April 30, 2008 were $1,835 ($321,671 2007), all in cash. Additionally, a shareholders deficiency in the amount of $3,295,972 as of April 30, 2008 ($212,788 2007), a direct result of the Company incurring a loss of mineral rights during the aforementioned period. 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 shareholders of the Company.
The Company had a negative cash flow of $198,836 from operating activities for the year ended on April 30, 2008 ($128,472 2007), a decrease in cash outflow of approximately 155%.
Cash inflow from financing activities was $479,000 the year ended April 30, 2007 ($2,075,143 2007) attributable to issuance of promissory notes payable.
Cash outflow from investing activities was $600,000 for the year ended on April 30, 2008 ($1,625,000 2007).
The on-going negative cash flow from operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Companies ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.
The Company not realized any revenues since inception, and for the year ended April 30, 2008, and is presently operating at an ongoing deficit.
The Company has 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. The Company anticipates that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of common stock. However, the Company 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. The Company believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding future corporate programs. The Company does not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financings.
As of April 30, 2008 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,739,352 ($1,781,168 2007). A major portion of debt is attributed to payments made for mineral properties, investment in a joint venture and operating deficiency.
At April 30, 2008 there was no bank debt.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no 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 investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Specifically, the pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain tax position. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, the Company is still analyzing the effects of FIN 48.
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 Statement is to be effective for the Companys financial statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Companys 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.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB statement No 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This (Expressed in U.S. Dollars) Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the usual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expressed SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 108 will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout Management's Plan of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
5
Going Concern
The Company has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue its business objectives. For these reasons, the Companys auditors stated in their report on the Companys audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt the Company will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
The Company may continue to rely on equity sales of the common shares in order to continue to fund the Companys business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned business activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of its Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2008, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of April 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Our controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our assets are protected from unauthorized use and that transactions are executed in accordance with established authorizations and properly recorded.

Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the design and operations of our internal controls over financial reporting at April 30, 2008 were effective and provided reasonable assurance that the books and records accurately reflected our transactions.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Audit fees consist of billings for professional services rendered for the audit of our company's consolidated financial statements and review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports that are normally provided by independent accounting firms in connection with regulatory filings, including audit services performed related to mergers and acquisitions.
Prior to our engagement of our independent auditor, such engagement was approved by our board of directors. The services provided under this engagement may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Pursuant our requirements, the independent auditors and management are required to report to our board of directors at least quarterly regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. Our board of directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. All audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees incurred by us for the year ended April 30, 2008, were approved by our board of directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Raven Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Raven Gold Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 and from inception on February 9, 2005 through April 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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, 2008 and April 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 and from inception on February 9, 2005 through April 30, 2008, 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 1a to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses of $2,796,972 and a working capital deficiency of $2,739,352 since its inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1a. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2008
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1 |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
|
a) |
Basis of Presentation |
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, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $2,795,972 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $2,739,352 (April 30, 2007 - $1,781,168) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys 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.
|
b) |
Organization |
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.
|
c) |
Use of estimates |
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.
|
d) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
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.
|
e) |
Mineral Interest |
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, as amended by EITF 04-02, mineral interest associated with other than owned are classified as tangible assets. The Company had capitalized $3,000 related to the mineral rights acquired in 2005 and which were impaired as of April 30, 2008.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1 |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (continued) |
|
f) |
Long-lived Assets |
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.
|
g) |
Exploration Costs |
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
|
h) |
Foreign Currency Translation |
The Companys functional currency is the United States dollar as substantially all of the Companys 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.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
|
i) |
Income Taxes |
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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Specifically, the pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain tax position. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, the Company is still analyzing the effects of FIN 48.
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 Statement is to be effective for the Companys financial statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Companys 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.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB statement No 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This (Expressed in U.S. Dollars) Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the usual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expressed SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 108 will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
