Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2012
NOTE 1–ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Liquidation – On October 16, 2000, iShopper.com, Inc. changed its name to Ensurge, Inc., which is referred to herein as the Company. On January 1, 2002, the Company began liquidation of its assets. During 2009, the Company started a new phase of operations. Accordingly, financial statements are presented on a GAAP basis of accounting rather than on a liquidation basis.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, especially the information included in Note 1 to those financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2012, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.
Business Condition – The Company has suffered losses from operations, and the Company had a working capital deficit in the amount $5,434,676 at March 31, 2012. During 2010, the Company sold an aggregate of 3,100,000 shares of common stock to investors for an aggregate purchase price of $894,900 in a private placement. The Company received $1,360,000 for exercise of warrants to purchase 5,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In August 2011 the Company entered into a 90 day note payable in the amount of $500,000.
During the month of October 2011 the Company entered into two twelve month convertible Notes Payable for $605,000 each, for a total funding of $1,210,000, with an initial issue discount of 10% and total proceeds of $1,100,000, which are collateralized by all the assets of the Company. Proceeds were used to repay the $500,000 August 2011 note. These notes may be converted at a fixed price of $1.50 per share of the Company’s common stock, which may be converted at the option of the lender. These notes also include 950,000 warrants each for a total of 1,900,000 warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and have a cashless exercise provision. The warrants have a 5 year term. In case of default, the Note may be converted into common stock at $1.50 per share or 80% of the current market bid price, whichever is lower.
Effective March 2, 2012, the Company accepted $380,000 in private placement funds from accredited investors in exchange for units consisting of seven hundred sixty thousand (760,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, plus three hundred eighty thousand (380,000) warrants with an exercise price of $1.00. The proceeds of the financing are being used by the Company to fund the exploration for gold mines or to acquire relating mining assets, either directly or through one or more partnerships or joint ventures, in Brazil or elsewhere in South America.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share – Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated to give effect to potentially issuable common shares, which include stock options and stock warrants except during loss periods when those potentially issuable common shares would decrease loss per share. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a total of 8,330,000 warrants outstanding which all have a 5 year term. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a total of 7,500,000 options of which

5,925,000 have vested and none have been exercised. The options are all 10 year options with an exercise price ranging from $0.14 to $0.50.

NOTE 2 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
None
NOTE 3 – ISSUANCE OF STOCK
In February 2012, the Company entered into a contract with Andrew Barwicki, Inc. for investor relation consulting services. The Company pays Andrew Barwicki a monthly fee of $3,600 along with a one-time payment of 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.50 per share.
Effective March 2, 2012, the Company accepted private placement funds from accredited investors. A total of $380,000 was received in exchange for units consisting of seven hundred sixty thousand (760,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, plus three hundred eighty thousand (380,000) warrants with an exercise price of $1.00. The warrants are exercisable over a term of five years. All investors were “accredited investors.” The Company believes the sale of the units are exempt from registration, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended), as a private transaction not involving a public offering as well as Regulation D, Rule 506.
NOTE 4 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined there are no other events to disclose.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
When used in this discussion, the words “expect(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Recent Development and Business Plan
The Company is pursuing opportunities in the gold mining industry, with emphasis on opportunities in South America. Though several mining opportunities have been reviewed and rejected by the Company, research and investigation of mining opportunities is on-going.
During this current quarter the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a privately owned gold mining company in Brazil to acquire a royalty on gold production in exchange for investment of capital and to provide new technical improvements. The company is in the process of completing its due diligence for this project. Until this is completed and a definitive agreement is in place, neither entity has any obligations to one another.
On May 8 th the Company issued a press release stating that the Company has entered into a Heads of Agreement with Amery Trading, LLC to mine gold in Suriname. Ensurge will provide capital and technology to the project, while Amery will provide access to 7,500 hectares in Sara Creek, Suriname. Ensurge will recover all capital costs advanced on the project from 50% of net cash flow, with the remainder of the net cash flow to be split equally between the two parties. Ensurge will provide test equipment for the project to determine the optimal equipment for the geologic environment at concession. Based on the results of the test program, Ensurge will determine to move forward with the project or not.
Despite the Company’s efforts in seeking opportunities in the gold mining industry, the Company does not yet have definitive agreements in place, and there can be no assurance that its efforts to enter this industry will ultimately prove successful.
Results of Operations
The Company had no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company is currently reviewing several projects and is awaiting completion of engineering results to determine the feasibility of each project, including capital equipment and operating costs. It continues to search out other opportunities or joint ventures to create operations and revenues.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $960,206 and $1,308,395, respectively. These costs are made up of engineering and drilling costs for projects, audit, legal, and consulting fees, along with travel expenses incurred while performing due diligence on current projects and looking for acquisitions or other business opportunities in Brazil. The decrease from 2012 to 2011 is mainly due to engineering costs of $315,000, which were incurred in 2011 for exploration of land pursuant to various LOI’s that the Company entered into in 2011 and which after conducting its due diligence and testing of land to determine whether there was an opportunity to mine for gold, the Company determined not to pursue definitive agreements.
Interest expense was $27,500 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The interest expense is loan interest from the notes payable the Company has incurred over the past year.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were, respectively, $138 and $856. This income is from interest bearing cash bank accounts.
The warrant derivative income or expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were, respectively, a gain of $8,090,003 and a loss of $7,983,331. This income and expense is due to change in value of the warrants derivative liability, which is determined from the stock price, from January to March 2012 and 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the month of October 2011 the Company entered into two twelve month convertible Notes Payable for $605,000 each, for a total funding of $1,210,000, with an initial issue discount of 10% and total proceeds of $1,100,000, which are collateralized by all the assets of the Company. These notes may be converted at a fixed price of $1.50 per share of the Company’s common stock, which may be converted at the option of the lender. These notes also include 950,000 warrants each for a total of 1,900,000 warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and have a cashless exercise provision. The warrants have a 5 year term. In case of default, the Note may be converted into common stock at $1.50 per share or 80% of the current market bid price, whichever is lower.
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through private placements of equity securities and convertible debt instruments. The Company has been unprofitable since inception (1998) and has incurred net losses in each quarter and year. From the beginning of 2010 through March 31, 2012 the Company sold an aggregate of 8,941,000 warrants and 3,860,000 shares of common stock for $2,765,000. As part of this transaction the warrants have been paid for and exercised, but the common stock has not been requested, thus the Company has booked a current liability of $1,360,000 and a warrant derivative liability of $3,247,109, which valuation is determined on a quarterly basis based on the price of the common stock. This has created a working capital deficit in the amount of $5,434,676. Neither of these amounts will be paid out in cash, but are equity transactions. Thus, by taking those amounts out, the adjusted working deficit is $827,567.
We expect that these funds will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for approximately 6 months, due to the majority of the Companies expenses being paid in stock or options. However, in the event the company’s expenses increase it may only be able to operate for approximately 4 months. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds to operate it will decrease its operations until such time that it is able to obtain additional financing for its operations.
The Company has made progress in creating relationships with Corporate and Tax Council, Banks, and Engineering firms within Brazil. The Company is continuing to look for appropriate opportunities in Brazil and South America. We will have to raise additional capital to fund current and future projects and would anticipate dilution to current investors as we close on additional equity capital.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained net losses from operations since it adopted its new business plan in January 2010, and it has limited liquidity. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional capital to fund its operating expenses and business operations. Management anticipates that the Company will need additional funding in order to continue its business operations. While the Company is continuing to look for new financing sources, in the current economic environment, the procurement of outside funding is extremely difficult and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or, if available, that such financing will be at a price that will be acceptable to the Company. Failure to generate significant revenues or to raise additional capital would have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve its longer-term business objectives, and would adversely affect its ability to continue operating as a going concern.
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control:

ENSURGE INC ENTERS INTO LOI WITH BRAZILIAN COMPANY
Miami, April 30, 2012/PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Ensurge, Inc. (Trading Symbol: ESGI) announced it has entered into a Letter of Intent with a privately owned gold mining company in MatoGrosso, Brazil to acquire a royalty base on gold production at a fully operating gold mine.
Ensurge will acquire a royalty of 17% of gold production in exchange for R$4 million (four million Brazilian Reals, approximately US$2.1 million). Ensurge will also invest capital and provide new technology to increase mill throughput-capacity and improve the recovery of gold in the current mill. By doing so, the Ensurge royalty will increase to 41%. Further investment by Ensurge in additional mining equipment to increase mining output will increase the royalty to 43% of gold production.
Jordan Estra, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ensurge stated, “We are excited about the opportunity to become a partner in an operating gold mine. Our goal is to increase capacity to mine and mill ore, as well as increase the recovery percentage of gold mined by implementing state of the art technology and support. We anticipate gold production will increase dramatically and the end result will be greater gold production and profitability, net of the royalty, than is currently generated.”
Ensurge is currently in the process of completing its due diligence and will move to a closing of this royalty acquisition once due diligence is completed.
About Ensurge, Inc.
Ensurge, Inc. is a Florida based mining company focused on development of gold mining opportunities in Brazil and other parts of South America. The company’s primary focus is to bring capital and technology to existing mining operations to recover gold from existing tailings ponds, improve recoveries of existing milling operations and improve mining operations in exchange for an interest in these operations.

Exhibit 99-2
Ensurge, Inc. Enters into Heads of Agreement to Mine Gold in Suriname
Miami, May 8, 2012/PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Ensurge, Inc. (Trading Symbol: ESGI) announced it has entered into a non-binding Heads of Agreement with privately owned Amery Trading, LLC to mine gold in the Sara Creek Region of Suriname. Ensurge will advance all capital requirements and provide technology on an on-going basis while Amery will provide access to the 7,500 hectare concession in Sara Creek, approximately 125 kilometers south of Paramaribo, the Capital of Suriname. Ensurge will recover its capital advances from 50% of net cash flow, with the remainder of net cash flow to be split equally between Amery and Ensurge. Once Ensurge has recovered its invested capital, Amery and Ensurge will split net cash flow equally.
Suriname, located along the northern coast of South America, has a long history of gold mining and is experiencing a resurgence of interest in gold mining owing to an attractive geologic environment, government policies favorable to foreign investment and the high price of gold.
The Sara Creek is situated in the mineral rich Brokopondo district in the northeast of Suriname. The largest gold mining operation in that area is the Rosebel Gold Mine, operated by IAMGOLD Corporation, which produced 385,000 ounces of gold in 2011. IAMGOLD is also the holder of a concession adjacent to the Ensurge/Amery Concession.
Jordan Estra, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ensurge stated, “It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that we initiate our agreement with Amery Trading, whose principals have long standing and very strong relationships in Suriname. We will shortly be moving equipment to the Sara Creek area to begin a test mining and gold recovery program. We will be using state of the art technology and owing to the free gold in the alluvial deposits at Sara Creek, we plan to recover gold without the use of any chemicals. The test mining and recovery program, which is expected to last up to three months, will enable us to determine the optimal technology for the geologic environment at Sara Creek. Based on results of the test program, Ensurge will determine whether to commit to commercial scale production.”
