Item 1. Business
Until February 8, 2010, the Company was the owner of the subsurface mineral rights on approximately 44 acres of land located in the Tintic Mining District of Juab County, Utah, near the town of Mammoth, Utah. Since it was formed in March 2004 and acquired the mineral claims, the Company had been unable to attract any interest from investors in its mining claims. Prior management believed that this has been due to a number of factors, including the fact that the land ownership in the Tintic Mining District was very fragmented, meaning that ownership is held in the names of numerous corporations and individuals, many possibly having conflicting ownership rights and interests. For this reason, at the end of 2009, management determined that the Company should abandon its mining business and pursue other opportunities. On December 17, 2009, therefore, a new majority owner took control of the Company. In connection with that change of control, the Company agreed to transfer its mining claims to its previous majority shareholders in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company to them. On February 8, 2010 the mining claims were so transferred. The Company is currently a shell company.
For some period of time the Company has been exploring business opportunities that would involve the use of the Company as a shell in a reverse merger transaction, in which an operating company would be merged into Tintic Gold Mining Company in exchange for a majority of our capital stock. We continue to explore business opportunities, particularly
businesses with which our Chairman, Ding Lieping, has experience. The business that we ultimately pursue will be determined by Mr. Ding, who is the sole member of our board of directors. His decision will be based on the prospects for the business, the availability of capital to fund the business, and the potential benefits of the business to the shareholders of Tintic Gold Mining Company.
Employees
We currently have no employees. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with the decision whether or not to acquire or participate in specific business opportunities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Results of Operations
We currently have no assets and no operations. During the 2011 fiscal year, which ended on December 31, 2011, we realized no revenue and incurred $19,628 in operating expenses. We also incurred an other expense of $1,119, which was the fair value of the warrant extension that we granted on December 18, 2011. During the 2010 fiscal year, we realized no revenue, incurred $21,454 in operating expenses, and incurred no other expenses.
Prior to December 17, 2009, when majority ownership of our company was transferred to Ding Lieping, we had accounts payable, most of which were owed to the prior controlling shareholders of the Company, some of whom served as our management until December 17, 2009. Those individuals waived all of the Company’s obligations to them in connection with the transfer of control to Ding Lieping. Therefore at December 31, 2011 most of our liabilities were loans made to us by Ding Lieping. The remainder was obligations to professionals, which were paid by Ding Lieping after December 31, 2011.
Control of Tintic Gold Mining Company was transferred to Ding Lieping in December 2009. During his tenure, Mr. Ding has financed our operations by making loans to cover our expenses. We expect that Ding Lieping will continue to fund our operations until we have completed an acquisition of an operating company, and that we will, therefore, have sufficient cash to maintain our existence as a shell company for the next twelve months, if necessary. Our management is not required to fund our operations, however, by any contract or other obligation.
Our major expenses consisted of fees to lawyers and accountants necessary to maintain our standing as a fully-reporting public company and other administration expenses attendant to the trading of our common stock. We do not expect the level of our operating expenses to change in the future until we again undertake to implement a business plan or effect an acquisition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2011 we had a working capital deficit of $41,082, as we had no assets and $41,082 in liabilities. Our liabilities included $36,175 in loans payable to Ding Lieping, our majority shareholder, who is funding our operations. The loans are payable on demand and do not bear interest. The remainder of our liabilities, $4,907, was payables due to our lawyer and accountants, which were paid by Ding Lieping after December 31, 2011. We expect our working capital deficit to continue indefinitely, as long as Ding Lieping continues to lend us the sums necessary to pay our expenses.
Our operations consumed $14,721 in cash during 2011, but our management loaned us that amount, resulting in no change in our cash balance. During 2010 our operations consumed $21,454 in cash, all of which was loaned to us by Ding Lieping. In the future, unless we achieve the financial and/or operational wherewithal to sustain our operations, it is likely that we will continue to rely on loans and capital contributions to sustain our operations.
To date we have supplied our cash needs by obtaining loans from management and shareholders. We expect that our President will fund our operations until we have completed an acquisition of an operating company and that we will, therefore, have sufficient cash to maintain our existence as a shell company for the next twelve months, if necessary.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Among our critical policies is the determination, described in Note 5 to our financial statements that the Company should record a valuation allowance for the full value of the deferred tax asset created by the net operating loss carryforward. The primary reason for the determination was the lack of certainty as to whether the Company will carry on profitable operations in the future.
Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause any effects on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a material effect on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Tintic Gold Mining Company
Minhang, Shanghai
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tintic Gold Mining Company [a development stage company] as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period from the inception of the development stage on December 31, 1997 through December 31, 2011. Tintic Gold Mining Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Tintic Gold Mining Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period from inception of development stage on December 31, 1997 through December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Tintic Gold Mining Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, Tintic Gold Mining Company has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet established profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

·

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
History and Nature of Business - Tintic Gold Mining Company (“the Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 8, 2004 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tintic Gold Mining Company (“Parent”), a Utah corporation, (now known as KIWA Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation). The Company was founded for the purpose of continuing the exploration of the mining claims transferred to it by Parent. In 2006 Parent distributed the outstanding shares of the Company to its shareholders pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2006.
As a part of a change in control of the Company in December 2009 and in consideration of the waiver of debt owed by the Company to the previous controlling shareholders, the Company agreed to a put and call agreement wherein the shareholders were given an irrevocable option to acquire the Company’s right, title and interest in all of the mining claims. The shareholders also granted to the Company an irrevocable option to require the shareholders to accept title to the mining claims at any time during the option period. The Company exercised the option on February 8, 2010, and transferred all of its mining assets to the previous controlling shareholders.
The Company currently has no business assets and no business operations.
Financial Statement Presentation. The accompanying financial statements include the prior operations of Parent from its inception of exploration stage activities on December 31, 1997 through the spin-off of the Company, and include the accounts of the Company from its date of incorporation to the date of the financial statements.
Development Stage. On and prior to December 31, 2009, the Company was considered to be an Exploration Stage Company, although, as of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any current mining exploration, development or production activities on its existing properties. After transferring its mining assets to its prior majority shareholders in February 2010, the Company became a development stage company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly-liquid debt investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes - The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic No. 740, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. [See Note 5.]
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2011 and 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2011 and 2010. All tax years starting with 2008 are open for examination.
Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share” [See Note 6].
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - There are no recently enacted accounting standards that the Company expects to have a material effect on its financial statements for future periods.
NOTE 2 - CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001. During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company issued 19,279 common shares in recognition of rounding rights accrued in prior years.
Treasury Stock. - During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company reclassified 270,584 common shares, which had been held as treasury stock since December 2009, as authorized but unissued.
NOTE 2 - CAPITAL STOCK (Continued)
Warrants - In conjunction with the change in control in December 2009, the Company exchanged common stock purchase warrants in exchange for 270,584 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares were being held as treasury shares. The common stock purchase warrants allowed the holders to acquire 0.4% of the outstanding common stock of the Company within two years from the date of issuance of said purchase warrants. The warrants were valued at $.20 per share given up or $54,117.
In December 2011 the termination date of the warrants was extended to June 18, 2012. The fair value of $1,119 for the six month extension was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Expected life
0.5 years
Expected volatility
1%
Risk-free interest rate
1.46%
Expected dividend yield
0.00%
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Loans - During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the expenses of the Company were paid by its majority shareholder. The payments were recorded as “loans from related party.” The loans are payable on demand and do not bear interest.
Management Compensation - During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not pay any compensation to any officer or director of the Company.
Office Space - The Company has not had a need to rent office space. An officer of the Company allows the Company to use his address, as needed, at no expense to the Company.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations and, as of December 31, 2011, the Company had no assets.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of its common stock or through a possible business combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic No. 740 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards.
The Company has available at December 31, 2011 an unused operating loss carryforward of approximately $155,500 that may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in 2031. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Due to a change in control of the Company in December 2009, the annual amount of the NOL that can be applied against future earnings is limited. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the net deferred tax assets, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to their tax effect and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $23,300 and $20,200 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2011 is approximately $3,100.
NOTE 6 - LOSS PER SHARE
The following data shows the amounts used in computing loss per share:
Dilutive loss per share was not presented, as the Company had no common stock equivalent shares for all periods presented that would affect the computation of diluted loss per share.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date and determined there are no events to disclose through the date the financial statements were issued.

Item 9A.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by Tintic Gold Mining Company in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the Commission’s rules. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information Tintic Gold Mining Company is required to disclose in the reports it files with the Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Tintic Gold Mining Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of December 31, 2011 for the purposes described in this paragraph.
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during Tintic Gold Mining Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Tintic Gold Mining Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of December 31, 2011, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control - Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent imitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses consisted of:
a. Inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping operations of our company. There is only one individual who is responsible for bookkeeping functions. This prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
b. Outsourcing the accounting operations of our company. Because there is only one employee in our administration, we outsource most of the accounting functions of our Company to an independent accountant. This accountant is self-directed, and is not answerable to the Company’s management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the accountant.
c. Lack of independent control over related party transactions. Ding Lieping is the sole director and sole officer of Tintic Gold Mining Company. From time to time Mr. Ding will make loans or capital contributions to finance the operations of the Company. The absence of other directors or officers to review these transactions is a weakness because it could lead to improper classification of such related party transactions.
Management does not believe that the current level of the Company’s operations warrants a remediation of the weaknesses identified in this assessment. However, because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2011.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

There are 1,858,338 shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of this report. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below have sole voting power and investment power with respect to their shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percent ownership of that person, we include shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days. We do not, however, include these “issuable” shares in the outstanding shares when we compute the percent ownership of any other person.
