PART 1
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
History
Apolo Gold, Inc, (the Company) was incorporated in March 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of financing and operating precious metals concessions.
The Company initially explored opportunities in Latin and South America. This resulted in the formation of a subsidiary, Compania Minera Apologold, C.A. a Venezuela corporation and on May 18, 1999 the Venezuela subsidiary entered into an agreement with Empresa Proyectos Mineros Goldma, C.A. in Caracas Venezuela, to acquire the diamond and gold mining concession known as Codsa 13, located in the Gran Sabana Autonomous Municipality, State of Bolivar, Venezuela.
On April 19, 2001, the Company executed an amendment to the 1999 agreement re CODSA 13 and then conducted exploration on the property from May 1, 2001 to July 2001. A combination of poor test results and disagreements with the concession holder resulted in the Company closing the camp on August 6, 2001. A cancellation letter was delivered to Empresa Proyectos Goldma C.A. advising them that the Company was abandoning the Codsa 13 site. The Venezuelan subsidiary has been inactive since 2001.
Coincident with exploration in Venezuela, Company management had spent several years exploring opportunities in Indonesia, and in particular, on the island of Sumatra. In February 2001, the Company - signed a letter of Intent re property in South Lampung, Sumatra, but certain local legal issues prevented further pursuit of this site and the agreement was subsequently cancelled.
On April 16, 2002, the Company executed an agreement with Pt. Metro Astatama, of Jakarta, Indonesia, for the mining rights to property west of Bandar Lampung, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The property is known as Nepal Umbar Picung ("NUP") and it has a KP, Number KW. 098PP325. A KP is a mineral tenement license for both Exploration and Exploitation and must be held by an Indonesian entity. The "NUP" is 733.9 hectares in size and the agreement gives Apolo an 80% interest while its partner, Metro Astatama has 20%. These are not crown granted claims, but are claims owned privately by citizens of Indonesia. While PT Metro Astatama has a 20% interest, the Company is entitled to recover all of its costs re development of the "NUP" including property payments before Pt Metro participates in the profits.
The NUP property, has characteristics of Indonesian volcanic-hosted, low-sulphidation, ephitermal gold-silver deposit Mio-Pliocene age, hosted within the Sunda magmatic arc and spatially associated with the Sumatra Fault System. The property displays high silver to gold ratios such as most of the Sunda arc deposits. Five hundred kilometers northward, along the same Sumatra Fault is located the richest gold mine in Indonesia, the Lebong Donok. This mine was first put into production in 1896.
The total purchase price for "NUP" is $375,000. To date the Company has made payments amounting to $150,000 on the property, with a balance remaining of $225,000. The Company is obligated to make semi-annual payments in March and September each year of $25,000 payment until the balance owing is retired.
Apolo Gold Inc. commenced geology mapping and sampling in the summer of 2002. Previous exploration had been undertaken on the NUP property including trenching, mapping and sampling. Previous workings had identified seven structures that required further evaluation. In July 2002, Apolo Gold Inc. engaged the services of Alex Boronowski, P.Geo, F.G.A. to provide a Preliminary Independent Geological Report. This report was received in September 2002 and it recommended a drilling program be carried out to further define the structures. The Company followed up with an Independent Report from Peter Bojtos, P.Eng. to review all existing data, and comment on proposals for moving forward. Mr. Bojtos issued a report in December 2002 that confirmed existing recommendations for drilling.
Upon review of the recommendations, the Company proceeded with an initial drilling program in April 2003 which completed in June 2003. Approximately 500 meters of drilling was completed and an ore zone was identified. While 80,000 tonnes of mineralized rock was identified, it was recommended that a new exploration adit be driven to cross cut both shaft #5 and shaft #4 where good results had previously been identified. The 80,000 tonnes of mineralized rock averaged 8 grams of gold per tonne and 250 grams of silver per tonne. Based on current values of gold and silver, and using 90% recovery for gold and 70% recovery for silver, recovery values are estimated to be in excess of $10,000,000.
The Company continues to work on the adit and will advise shareholders when the adit is completed.
On December 10, 2003, the Company, and its 20% partner, PT Metro Astatama, executed an Agreement with PT Karya Bukit Utama of Bandar Lampung, Sumatra for the acquisition of mining rights to a property adjoining the "NUP" called "KBU". PT Karya Bukit Utama holds a permit from the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Republic of Indonesia, in the form of Mining Exploitation Authorization KP Number KW 96 0082 for 28 hectares and KP Number KW 96 PP 0083 for 905.3 hectares. These KP's are free and clear of any liens or encumbrances. The agreement includes the payment of 3,000,000 common shares to PT Metro Astatama on three separate dates, January 15, 2004, for 1,000,000 common shares and June 15, 2004 and January 15, 2005 for 1,000,000 common shares each. The stock due January 15, 2004 has been issued while the stock due June 15, 2004 will not be issued until September 15, 2004 because of a revision in the payment schedule as outlined below. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will hold an 80% interest and PT Metro Astatama will hold a 20% interest. The Company will also be allowed to recover all of its operating costs, including property payments, before PT Metro will participate in any profits.
The Company will pay to PT Karya Bukit Utama a total of $2,500,000 between 2003 and December 15, 2007 to acquire the mining rights to the property.
This Agreement was amended on July 14, 2004 wherein the June 30, 2004 payment of $150,000 and the December 31, 2004 payment of $250,000 were revised as follows:
Amount paid to June 30-04 $15,000
July 15, 2004 $ 60,000 August 15, 2004 $ 50,000 September 15, 2004 $ 50,000 October 15, 2004 $ 25,000 November 15, 2004 $ 25,000 December 15, 2004 $ 75,000 January 15, 2005 $ 50,000 February 15, 2005 $ 50,000 -------- TOTAL $400,000 ======== |
The Company has made the payment due July 15, 2004. Payments in 2005 through 2007 will be semi annual at June 15 and December 15 each year in the amount of $250,000 each.
As part of the acquisition of the mineral rights to the "KBU", the Company also acquired the use of a Mining Mill located on the Karya Bukit Utama property. This mill has been inactive since 1997-8 and required extensive overhaul to restore to proper operating condition. This overhaul has now been completed and the Company expects to operate on a daily basis going forward. It is anticipated that the Company will be in production 6 days per week and initially for 8 hours per day. In the next 30 days, it is expected that operations will expand to 16 hours per day.
Operations
The "NUP" and the adjoining "KBU" property in Sumatra, Indonesia is the only project currently being developed by the Company. All previous exploration activities in other parts of the World have been terminated.
The Company employs approximately 15 people locally at the mine site near Bandar Lampung, Sumatra. All of these employees are paid the local rate for their services. As well, the Company has two consultants working full time at the mine site who offer special mechanical, welding, and general operating skills not found locally. The President and CEO of Apolo Gold Inc. is located in Sumatra and directs all activities regarding the mining and exploration program.
Corporate headquarters are located in Vancouver B.C. where the Company leases space at #1458-409 Granville St. V6C 1T2. The Company also maintains an office in Bandar Lampung, Sumatra.
Principal Markets
The products produced by the Company are sold on world markets at prices established by market forces. These prices are not within the control of the Company.
Government Regulation
The Company is aware of environmental requirements in the operation of a concession. The Company is subject to regular inspections by Government authorities and is also subject to a royalty of 3.5% on production. The Company is comfortable with the requirements and regulations and will abide by them.
Risk Factors
1. The Company has no record of earnings. It is also subject to all the risks inherent in a developing business enterprise including lack of cash flow, and no assurance of recovery of precious metals.
2. The Company's success and possible growth will depend on its ability to recover precious metals, process them, and successfully sell them on world markets. It is dependent upon the market's acceptance of the quality of the product presented for sale.
3. Liquidity and need for additional financing is a concern for the Company. At the present time, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its operations if its production schedule is delayed further. The Company is dependent on the ability of its management team to obtain the necessary working capital to operate successfully. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital as required, or if the capital is available, to obtain it on terms favorable to the Company. The Company may suffer form a lack of liquidity in the future that could impair its production efforts and adversely affect its results of operations.
4. Foreign Operations Risks are significant as its principal business operations will be located in Sumatra, Indonesia. Although management intends to and has abided by all laws of the country, including procurement of all necessary permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals, the Company has no control over the regulatory climate and the possible changes in laws and regulations. There are no known political issues in South Sumatra where the property is located and the Company is pleased with the level of cooperation needed to develop the project as contemplated.
5. Competition is more in the area of ability to sell at world prices, that the Company cannot control, and the Company competes for access to the world markets with its products.
6. The Company is wholly dependent at the present upon the personal efforts and abilities of its Officers and Directors, who exercise control over the day-to-day affairs of the Company.
7. There are currently 52,119,589 common shares outstanding at August 19, 2004 out of a total authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares. There are 147,880,411 shares of the Company unissued. The Board of Directors has the power to issue such shares, subject to shareholder approval, in some instances. Although the Company presently has no commitments or contracts to issue any additional shares to other persons, it may in the future attempt to issue shares to acquire properties, equipment, or other products, or for corporate purposes. Any additional issuance of shares by the Company from its authorized but unissued shares, would have the effect of diluting the interest of existing shareholders.
8. There are no dividends anticipated by the Company. At the present time, the Company intends to focus on raising additional capital and development of its NUP property in Sumatra.
Company's Office
The Company's administrative headquarters are located at #1458-409 Granville St, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 1T2 and its telephone number is 604-687-4150. The Company also maintains an office in Bandar Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia.

ITEM 6 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General Overview
Apolo Gold, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated in March 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Its objective was to pursue mineral properties in South America, Central America, North America and Asia. The Company incorporated a subsidiary - Compania Minera Apologold, C.A in Venezuela to develop a gold/diamond mining concession in Southeastern Venezuela. Development work was terminated in August 2001, due to poor testing results and the property abandoned. This subsidiary company has been inactive since 2001.
On April 16, 2002, the Company announced the acquisition of the mining rights to a property known as the Napal Gold Property, ("NUP"). This property is located 48 km south-west of Bandar Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia. The property consists of 733.9 hectares and possesses a Production Permit (a KP) # KW. 098PP325. There has been previous exploration work carried out, consisting of approximately 50 trenches, from 100 feet to 1,000 feet, across the mineralization, and 7 parallel veins have been exposed by trenching across mineralized zones. The Napal Gold Property is in an area in Indonesia with a history of mining activity. Several major mining companies are active in Indonesia where the highlights include; the ability to control mineral rights and their development, low cost operations, and in a country with a history of mining success that encourages foreign investment and redemption of capital.
The terms of the Napal Gold Property call for a total payment of $375,000 US over a six-year period of which a total of $150,000 have been made to date. Payments of $25,000 are due in March and September each year until the total obligation is retired. The next payment is due September 15, 2004.
In addition to the cash payments, the Company issued 3,000,000 restricted common shares at $0.11 cents per share for a consideration of $330,000 to PT Metro Astatama, who are 20% partners in the project. The PT Metro Astatama participation is after the Company recovers all of its operating costs, including all property payments as due.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, the Company engaged two independent consultants to assist in evaluation of the property and to assist in development of a necessary program to determine values potential operating alternatives.
The Company in the summer of 2002 commenced with mapping and sampling with trenching and sampling of 12 trenches for a total of 1,189 meters (3,900 ft). This was followed up with a drilling project of 500 meters (1,640 ft). Sampling results indicated a large area of good anomalous gold-silver and many lenses of high-grade gold and silver. Over the past 15 years, other companies have carried out drilling of 36 holes totaling 10,000 feet on this property. With the additional work done in the spring and summer of 2003, there are now 43 trenches completed averaging 3 feet wide, 12 feet deep for a total of 12,000 feet of trenching. There were also in excess of 2,000 rock samples sent out for analysis. All trenches, drill holes, and rock samples are from a 5 hectare area on the "NUP" property.
As a result of the work program into the fall of 2003, the Company identified a high-grade zone of about 80,000 tons of gold-silver mineralization which showed in excess of 7 grams gold per ton and in excess of 160 grams of silver per ton.
This area is located approximately 1 mile from the mill site, which is located on the adjoining property known as the "KBU".
On December 10, 2003, the Company, and its partner, PT Metro Astatama, acquired the mining rights to a property directly adjoining the "NUP" property known as the "KBU" property. The property mining rights were acquired from PT Karya Bukit Utama for a total cash consideration of $2,500,000. This included an initial down payment of $50,000 plus a payment schedule of $500,000 per year until the balance is retired. To date, the Company has paid a total of $175,000 of the $2,500,000 owing. On July 14, 2004, an amendment was executed whereby the June 30 and December 15, 2004 payments totaling $400,000 were amended to monthly payments up to February 15, 2005 totaling $400,000. The next payment is due August 15, 2004 for $50,000. In addition to the cash payment of $2,500,000, the Company is obligated to pay to PT Metro Astatama a total of 3,000,000 common shares based on 1,000,000 due early in 2004(already paid) and 1,000,000 due in the summer of 2004 (not yet paid) and 1,000,000 in January 2005.
The acquisition of mining rights to the "KBU" also included the exclusive use of a mill capable of 250-300 tons per day in production. This mill is located on the "KBU" property and has been inactive for approximately 7 years. Initially, the Company thought only minor repairs were necessary but discovered in the spring of 2004, that more extensive overhaul work was necessary in order to have a functional mill. This mill is capable of 15 tons per hour and it is the intention of the Company to operate this mill initially at 8 hours per day, increasing to 16 hours within 30 days. The Company is in the process of confirming the necessary permits to operate beyond 8 hours per day. The mill is currently operating at 15 tons per hour.
There has been significant major work previously carried out on the "KBU" property. This includes 38 trenches across the mineralization zones, 12 shafts, and 1,200 feet of underground work completed. Over the past 12 years, a total of 42 diamond drill holes have been completed. Previous public calculations by professional engineers/geologists, have indicated that the "KBU" resource contains an initial inferred resource in excess of 1,000,000 ounces of gold equivalent, valued at current prices.
The Company has spent several months this year identifying potential mining areas on the "KBU" property.
Initially the Company intends to mine from an area known as Trench 25, located not far from the mill. Various assays have been completed and delivered to Intertek Testing Services in Jakarta for analysis. The Company is awaiting the results.
Preliminary assays show gold of 4 grams per ton and silver of 225 grams per ton. These are initial assays only and more testing will be undertaken in order to assess the entire area known as Trench 25.
The Company encountered significant delays regarding completion of the overhaul of the mill and in preparation of the mill site for production. Included in this is ensuring a continuous water supply which varies during the season. At certain times of the year, water will have to be pumped from a nearby valley to ensure water supply is sufficient for production. To this end, approximately 600 feet of piping has been installed with an incline of 85 feet. A pump has been installed to move this water to the pond for milling purposes.
The Company intends to raise additional capital in order to ensure it has sufficient resources to execute its plan for production. The Company is exploring loans, equity and joint ventures as possible alternatives. There is no assurance that said funds can be obtained for the program.
The Company currently may not have sufficient funds to carry out its proposed programs and there is no assurance that the necessary funds required will be raised.
Results of Operations - Period From July 01, 2003 to June 30, 2004
REVENUES: The Company had no revenues in the past fiscal year as it focused on preparation for production by completing necessary testing, including trenching, sampling, and an initial drilling program.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, the Company had exploration costs of 397,395 as compared to 353,506 the previous year. This included the cost of all consultants engaged regarding the development of the property, drilling costs, and the cost of trenching, mapping etc.
EXPENSES: During the year ending June 30 2004, the Company incurred total expenses of $788,700 compared to $685,997 the previous year.
These expenses were all related to exploration costs re the Napal Gold Property in Sumatra, Indonesia.
Consulting and professional fees were down this year to $216,796 from $258,000 the previous year.
The Company continues to carefully control its expenses, and intends to seek Additional financing to ensure it has sufficient resources to undertake its production program and continue its exploration and development program on the two properties. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its attempts to raise additional capital. The Company is currently negotiating with various parties regarding additional financing. The outcome of this is uncertain at this time.
The Company has no employees in its head office at the present time other than its Officers and Directors, and engages personnel through consulting agreements where necessary as well as outside attorneys, accountants and technical consultants. The mine site employs 15 people who are paid weekly in cash as is the custom in Sumatra.
Cash on hand at June 30, 2004 was $375,000 and the Company recognizes it may not have sufficient funds to conduct its affairs. It fully intends to seek financing by way of loans, private placements or a combination of both in the coming months.

Levasseur and Robert Dinning at $0.30 each. Each director acquired 500,000 restricted common shares at the stated $0.30 per share. In comparison, a total of $270,000 was raised the previous year. The funds allowed the Company to complete the overhaul of the mill, and commence production at the mine site in Sumatra.
The Company is aware that it will require additional capital during the current fiscal year to assist in the development of its property. It intends to seek additional capital by private placement, loans or a combination of both.
INFLATION
Inflation has not been a factor during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. While inflationary forces are showing some signs of increasing in the next year, it is not considered a factor in capital expenditures or production activities.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apolo Gold, Inc., an expoloration stage company and Nevada corporation, as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years then ended and for the period from April 16, 2002 (inception of exploration stage) through June 30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Apolo Gold, Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from April 16, 2002 (inception of exploration stage) through June 30, 2004, 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 10 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues and limited cash. In addition, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 10. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

APOLO GOLD, INC.
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Apolo Gold, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated in March of 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada primarily for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Company conducts operations primarily from its offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In 1997, the Company formed a subsidiary corporation (Apologold C.A.) in Venezuela, which was originally used to acquire a Venezuelan mining property. The subsidiary had no financial transactions during the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004.
Apologold C.A. began production in the State of Bolivar, Venezuela in November 1999 using an open pit mining process. In June 2001, the Company abandoned its Venezuelan property. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company determined that further activity in Venezuela was not economically feasible and thereafter discontinued all operations within this country.
On April 16, 2002, the Company signed an agreement to enter into a joint venture with PT Metro Astatama, a limited liability corporation, incorporated under the laws of Republic of Indonesia. Upon signing this agreement, the Company entered a new exploration stage and commenced exploration of the Napal Gold Property, not yet under production. See Note 3.
The Company's year-end is June 30.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- Transition and Disclosure" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 amends
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement
amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method
used on reported results. The provisions of the statement are effective for
financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As the
Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method
prescribed in APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", the
adoption of SFAS No. 148 has had no material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. At June 30, 2004, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines are capitalized and amortized on a units-of-production basis over proven and probable reserves. Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 33% of approximately $1,310,000 principally arising from approximate net operating loss carryforward of $3,960,000 for income tax purposes, which expire in the years 2014 through 2024. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at June 30, 2004. The significant components of the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 were as follows:
Year ended Year ended June June 30, 2004 30, 2003 ----------------- ---------------- Net operating loss carryforward $ 3,957,919 $ 3,169,219 ================= ================ Deferred tax asset $ 1,306,113 $ 1,045,842 Deferred tax asset valuation allowance $ (1,306,113) $ (1,045,842) |
The change in the allowance account from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004 was $260,271. The change in the allowance account from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2000 was $494,000.
NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES
At June 30, 2004, in accordance with the aforementioned agreement, the Company had paid $150,000 in cash and issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, with a fair market value of $330,000.
On December 12, 2003, the Company fully executed an agreement with PT Metro Astatama, to acquire certain property rights in Southern Sumatra, Indonesia. In exchange for a commitment for future incremental cash payments of $2,500,000 and 3,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock, the Company will receive 933 hectares with production permit numbers KP-96PP0082 and KP-96PP0083 in place. The Company will assume all rights previously granted to PT Metro and will acquire an 80% net profits interest, while PT Metro retains the remaining 20%.
At June 30, 2004, in accordance with the aforementioned agreement, the Company had paid $115,000 in cash and issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, with a fair market value of $200,000.
The Company has recorded its mineral property costs as exploration expenses because there are no professional engineering studies evidencing proven and probable reserves for its mineral properties.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2004.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 143"). SFAS No. 143 establishes guidelines related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets of the Company and the associated retirement costs. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2004.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company acquired field equipment at a cost of $62,491 and recorded depreciation of $4,464 thereon. The Company owned no other equipment or furnishings in the two years ending June 30, 2004.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are five to forty years.
Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2004, was $4,464. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.
NOTE 5 - NOTE RECEIVABLE
During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company sold all of its mining equipment at the time for a $45,000 short-term note receivable and thereby realized a loss of $132,193 on this transaction. This note, with a maturation date of September 30, 2002, has not been collected. During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company wrote off the note with the related charge against loss on sale of equipment.
NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK
During the year ended June 30, 2004, options to purchase 525,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share were exercised in exchange for services valued at $27,400 and 11,125,000 options were exercised to purchase common stock for cash of $707,500. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock as payment for property acquisition worth $160,000 (see Note 3) and an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued for $300,000 cash. The Company paid services of $5,000 with the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock.
During the year ended June 30, 2003, options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share were exercised in exchange for services valued at $45,000; 2,200,000 options were exercised to purchase common stock at $0.05 per share in exchange for services valued at $114,000; 39,000 options were exercised for payment of $1,560 in legal services at $0.04 per common share; and 1,111,112 options were exercised for cash of $50,000 at $0.045 per share. Options amounting to 3,400,000 shares of common stock were exercised for $150,000 cash and services valued at $55,000. The Company issued 2,348,615 shares of common stock as payment for debt worth $140,916 and 600,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $48,000. The Company received $70,000 as payment of the subscription receivable that was outstanding at June 30, 2002.
NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has four stock option plans entitled the Apolo Gold, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan, Apolo Gold, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan, Apolo Gold, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan and Apolo Gold, Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan (hereinafter "the Plans") adopted in July 2000, May 2002, November 2002 and March 2004, respectively. Their purpose is to advance the business and development of the Company and its shareholders by enabling employees, officers, directors and independent contractors or consultants of the Company the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company from the grant of options to such persons under the Plans' terms. The Plans provide that the Company's board of directors may exercise its discretion in awarding options under the Plans, not to exceed 5,000,000 for the 2000 Plan, 5,000,000 for the 2002 Plan, 7,500,000 for the 2003 Plan and 15,000,000 for the 2004 and the 2004A Plans. The Board determines the per share option price for the stock subject to each option. All options authorized by each plan must be granted within ten years from the effective date of the Plan.
There is no express termination date for the options, although the Board may vote to terminate the Plan. The exercise price of the options will be determined at the date of grant. The following is a summary of the Company's stock option plans:
Number of securities Number of remaining securities to be Weighted-average available for issued exercise price future issuance Equity compensation plans not upon exercise of of outstanding under equity approved by security holders outstanding options options compensation plans -------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------ ------------------- 2000 stock option plan 2,210,000 $ 0.14 - 2002 stock option plan 2,100,000 $ 0.10 - 2003 stock option plan 350,000 $ 0.05 - 2004 and 2004A stock option plans 3,800,000 $0.16 788,000 --------------------- ------------------- Total 8,460,000 788,000 ===================== =================== |
The following is a summary of stock option activity:

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation or consulting costs have been recognized for the plan in fiscal 2004 or 2003. The Company granted 14,600,000 during the year ended June 30, 2004. Of the options issued, 525,000 were exercised for payment of services valued at $27,400; 11,125,000 were exercised for $707,500 in cash.
The Company granted 10,650,112 options during the year ended June 30, 2003. In the same period, 3,339,000 options were exercised for payment of services valued at $208,560: 3,400,000 were exercised for $150,000 cash and services valued at $55,000: and 1,111,112 were exercised for cash at $0.045 per share of common stock.
If compensation or consulting costs had been determined on the basis of fair value pursuant to SFAS No. 123, net loss and earnings per share would have been changed as follows:
Year Ended Year Ended June 30, June 30, 2004 2003 ------------- ------------- Net Loss: As reported $ (788,700) $ (730,997) Pro forma $ (2,572,117) (974,997) |
Basic and diluted net loss per share:
As reported $ (0.02) (0.02)
Pro forma $ (0.05) (0.03)
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair value for 2004 and 2003: risk-free interest rate is 4%, volatility is 112% and 100%, respectively, and expected life is 5 years.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTIES
During the year ended June 30, 2004, a related party paid expenses of $33,333 on behalf of the Company. This amount, which is unsecured and non-interest bearing, is listed as a related party loan in the accompanying balance sheet.
During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company issued 2,348,615 shares for retirement of related party debt of $140,916.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The acquisition and loan agreement, which provided for monthly payments of $5,000 and a royalty interest to the seller, were amended in April 2001 and later terminated in June 2001.
NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $788,700 for the year ended June 30, 2004 and has an accumulated deficit of $3,957,919 since inception of the Company. The Company currently has no operating mining properties, has no revenues, and has limited cash resources.
These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue existence. The Company is actively seeking additional capital and management believes that new properties can ultimately be developed to enable the Company to continue its operations. However, there are inherent uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in its endeavors. See Note 1.
The Company's management believes that it will be able to generate sufficient cash from public or private debt or equity financing for the Company to continue to operate based on current expense projections.
Item 8a. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.

(b) Significant Employees: None
Committees: Meetings of the Board
The Company does not have a separate Compensation Committee, Audit Committee or Nominating Committee. These functions are done by the Board of Directors meeting as a whole. The Company's Board of Directors held no in person meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. All corporate actions by the Board of Directors were unanimously consented to in writing after telephone discussion.
Audit Committee
The board of directors has not established an audit committee. The functions of the audit committee are currently performed by the entire board of directors. The Company is under no legal obligation to establish an audit committee and has elected not to do so at this time so as to avoid the time and expense of identifying independent directors willing to serve on the audit committee. The Company may establish an audit committee in the future if the board determines it to be advisable or we are otherwise required to do so by applicable law, rule or regulation.
As the board of directors does not have an audit committee, it therefore has no "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee who:
* understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
* is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
* has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
* understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
* understands audit committee functions.
Board of Directors Independence
None of the Company's directors are "independent" within the meaning of definitions established by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. The Company is not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of its board of directors include "independent" directors.
Director Nominees
The Company does not have a nominating committee. The board of directors, sitting as a board, selects those individuals to stand for election as members of our board. Since the board of directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decision of the board as to director nominees is made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Until otherwise determined, not less than 90 days prior to the next annual board of directors' meeting at which the slate of board nominees is adopted, the board accepts written submissions that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee, along with a brief statement of the candidate's qualifications to serve as a director and a statement of why the shareholder submitting the name of the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of shareholders. If the proposed nominee is not the security holder submitting the name of the candidate, a letter from the candidate agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a resume supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the board of directors, as well as a list of references.
The board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals, including by management, existing board members and security holders, where warranted. Once a candidate has been identified the board reviews the individual's experience and background, and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the board believes it to be appropriate, board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of management's slate of director nominees submitted for shareholders for election to the board.
Among the factors that the board considers when evaluating proposed nominees are their experience in the information technology industry, knowledge of and experience with and knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The board may request additional information from the candidate prior to reaching a determination. The board is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.
The board received no security holder recommendations for nomination to the board of directors in connection with the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders. There are eight director nominees for the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders, all of whom are incumbent directors standing for reelection.
Security Holder Communications with our Board of Directors
The Company provides an informal process for security holders to send communications to our board of directors. Security holders who wish to contact the board of directors or any of its members may do so by writing to Apolo Gold Inc., Suite 1458-409 Granville Street, Vancouver BC, Canada V6C 1T2. Correspondence directed to an individual board member is referred, unopened, to that member. Correspondence not directed to a particular board member is referred, unopened, to the Chairman of the Board.
Code of Ethics
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission's related rules, the Company is required to disclose whether it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
