Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009
 
Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
 
Organization

On April 1, 2008, Far Vista Interactive Corp., (“the Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) among Far Vista Holdings Inc., a private Saskatchewan corporation (“Far Vista”), a wholly owned subsidiary of 1010423651 Saskatchewan Ltd., formed for the purpose of completing the acquisition of Far Vista on February 21, 2008, and the stockholders of Far Vista (the “Far Vista Stockholders”).  Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Far Vista resulting in Far Vista being a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Upon the subsidiary acquisition of Far Vista by the Company, the Company agreed to issue to the shareholders of Far Vista an aggregate of 10,416,600 shares of the common stock of the Company.  Closing of the Exchange Agreement occurred on May 14, 2008 (the “Closing Date”). Refer to Note 5 – Business Combination for additional details.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Far Vista, the Company completed a private placement of 3,000,000 Units at a price of $0.10 per unit pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.  Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant to acquire a further share of common stock at $0.20 per share for a period of one year from the date of issue. The warrants expired unexercised subsequent to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Funds from the placement were used to retire existing Company debt.

Following the completion of the acquisition of Far Vista, the Company is now engaged in the business of the development, distribution, marketing and sale of video game software products and online video games.

On September 16, 2008, the Company changed its name to Far Vista Interactive Corp. from China Titanium & Chemical Corp.

Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.  Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $1,013,555 since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $906,154 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

The interim consolidated financial statements present the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of cash flows of Far Vista Interactive Corp and wholly owned subsidiary Far Vista Holdings Inc.   The interim financial information is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2009, and the results of operations, and cash flows presented herein have been included in the financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.

FAR VISTA INTERACTIVE CORP.
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Far Vista Holdings Inc.  All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

Development Stage Company
 
The Company is a development stage company as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915.  The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced.  All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the US Dollar. The functional currency of Far Vista is the Canadian Dollar.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities of Far Vista are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates.  Statement of operations accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) account in stockholders’ deficit.  Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date.  Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.

Basic Loss Per Share

The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”.  Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.  At the end of the period presented, the Company had no other common stock equivalents.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

In June 2009 the FASB established the
Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), "Subsequent Events", SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)", and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions

On February 22, 2008, Far Vista and 10142361 Saskatchewan Ltd.

Far Vista Studios is 100% owned by Richard Buckley, an officer and director of the Company and the sole officer and director of Far Vista. Under the terms of the Agreement, Far Vista agreed to reimburse Far Vista Studios for certain research and development costs associated with the development of “Run the Gauntlet” TM .

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company has received invoices for reimbursement from Far Vista Studios totaling $98,414 (CAD$106,887). Included in this related party payable, a total of $82,866 (CAD$90,000) was invoiced by officers and directors of Far Vista for services provided to Far Vista Studios.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

On May 27, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement (“Nassau Agreement”) with Nassau International Consultants, Inc (“Nassau”) to provide the Company with public and financial communications services and serve as required as the Company liaison and spokesperson. In consideration for the services rendered by Nassau, the Company agreed to compensate Nassau through the issuance of seven hundred and fifty thousand (750,000) shares of common stock and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) cash. The duration of the Nassau Agreement is six (6) weeks, and the Company has an option to extend the agreement for a negotiable fee.

An amount of $175,000 was expensed during the nine months ending September 30, 2009 as consulting fees to $75,000 with respect to the issuance of 750,000 shares at $0.10 per share and $100,000 in cash.  750,000 shares were issued and an amount of $40,000 was paid towards the $100,000 amount payable.

Note 7 — Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2009, the amount of $60,000 was paid against the $100,000 owing to Nassau and thus the accounts payable to Nassau was paid in full.

Subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2009, the Company received a total of $60,050 by way of  shareholder  loans.  The loans are non-interest bearing and have no fixed term of repayment.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through November 17 2009 and determined that there are no other items that require disclosure.

(dba Far Vista Studios) entered into a Licensing Agreement for Far Vista Holdings to obtain the worldwide right and license to use of the Trademarks and the System in connection with the operation of “Run The Gauntlet” in accordance with the terms of the Licensing Agreement.  Since the inception of Far Vista Holdings, its business objective has been the development, distribution, marketing and sale of video game software and the in-house development of online active video games.  Far Vista Holdings develops online active video games for the PC, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation consoles, and online game community making video games more appealing to First Person Shooter (“FPS”) types of gamers and non-gamers alike.

Description of Video Game Software Product - “Run The Gauntlet” (the “Gauntlet”)

The Gauntlet is believed to be a leading-edge, multi-player FPS combat game.  The game can be set in multiple universes, from the age of the Knights to well into the future on distant planets, and contested by people located throughout the world using their PC computers and internet connections.  The players must run the gauntlet, facing dangers from, and causing danger to, each of the other players in the game as well as built in game hazards.  Players purchase game play tokens via an online billing system working with Far Vista Studios.  Players then exchange tokens for entrance into one of the numerous online “Run the Gauntlet” games areas.  Within the game, players attempt to gather tokens through exploration, combat, and longevity while playing against other real people.  In some game versions, the players must choose when to attempt to exit the game with their tokens or risk the chance of losing them all if they are killed.  Players who successfully exit the game with their tokens can convert their tokens back into real money.  Another version of the game will be based on a predetermined time duration, where a player need only survive until the game’s time has expired to keep the money they have collected during the game.

A typical game might contain 100 player creation locations (where players enter the game), five (5) exit portals, and numerous non-real player characters.  There are many possible game scenarios.  Once game scenario is at the start of the game, a known percentage (75%) of all entrance fees is distributed as treasure throughout the game area.  A player can choose to gather enough treasure to return their entrance fee, plus a modest return on investment and then make a run for one of the exits.  Alternatively, the player could choose to go for the gold and stay in the game for as long as possible, hoping to be the last player standing and exiting.  Another player may decide to try and camp near one of the exits, letting other players gather the treasure, in the expectation they can defeat them in combat as they attempt to leave the game.  However, in this scenario, only those players who successfully exit with their tokens can reap real-world rewards, as players left standing within the arena at the end of the game get nothing.  Depending on the entrance or buy-in fee, a player could win as much as US$100 to US$100,000, or more, during the course of a single game.  Far Vista Holdings also has a “non-money” version of the game which allows gamers to practice and eliminate the risk of the “learning curve” as they become more familiar with the game.
 
At this time, the English version will be the original version produced in the first fifteen (15) months followed in the next five (5) to fifteen (15) months by several other languages including Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, French and German.

Distribution Methods and Marketing Strategy

Far Vista’s overall strategy is to finalize development of and market its FPS game known as the “Run The Gauntlet”.  Far Vista intends to continue with development of multi-player internet, online games which are competitive and where the opportunity to win money is a primary motivator.  Far Vista intends to leverage its intellectual properties, using core technologies that can be used to develop specific applications for almost all current video games that do not require source code interfaces, to design products that have defensible technologies and short time-to-market development cycles.  In addition, Far Vista intends to create a dedicated online game community that is avatar-based and that offers social networking features to target monthly internet gamers worldwide.

Online gaming is the most popular net application after e-mail for China’s citizens.  Throughout the world, gaming leagues and companies are organizing competitions where cash prizes are now worth more than US$100,000.  Competitions are now televised live and covered by major publications and newspapers such at MTV, CNN, ESPN, USA Network, ABC World News Today, FOX, WB and other media companies looking for a unique advantage.  All Far Vista games are intended to be competitively priced for the consumer market.  Currently there are at least 20 different FPS video games on the market, crossing all of the various video game platforms, including Xbox360, PS2, PS3, Nintendo and PC’s.  The number of consoles for PS2, according to Sony, is more than 110,000,000, while Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is nearing 10,000,000 units.

Far Vista will rely upon multiple sales channels including:

 
1.
Selling directly to consumers via online sales and television infomercials.
 
2.
Developing strategic alliances with other businesses with mutual business interest (OEM)
 
3.
Launching products into retail by selling directly to retailers and distributors with relationships with Far Vista target retailers.

The following demographics will reflect the demographics of the people tracked by Computer Gaming World Magazine’s 2005 Survey.

Player:
 
85% are male
 
       
Age:
 
Broad appeal – 21 to 60 years
 
   
Specific appeal – 30 to 50 years
 
   
Mean age – 33 years
 
       
Income:
 
US$70,500 per year
 
       
Buying Habits:
 
Spend US$73 to US$85 per game on video game purchases
 
   
Buy approximately 2.5 games every two months
 
   
Own up to 57 games of all types
 
       
Playing:
 
Spend 14 to 20 hours a week playing games
 
   
Play PC online games at least 8 times per week for 15 plus hours
 
   
More than 75% of these people will own multiple consoles
 

Far Vista's initial target marketing efforts will be focused on three areas.  The target markets can be broken into defining categories including the primary and secondary markets for the Gauntlet.  The gamers are referred to as “Core Gamers”, “Players”, and “Casual Gamers” with the “Core” group representing approximately 53% of US$4.7 billion of all online and console game sales.  Primary 1 target market represents the “Core” while the Primary 3 target market represents those people in the “Players” and ‘Casual” definitions.

Primary 1 – FPS Gamers

Far Vista’s primary market will be to those gamers who are already hooked on and enjoying the FPS types of games.  This is the most popular style of game for the hard-core gamers.  There are approximately 35 to 40 million gamers playing FPS on legal and original copies of these games across all the various game platforms.  This group is expected to contribute the largest percentage of players who, when given the chance to be rewarded for their ability, will drive sales.

Based on the numbers of players in this category alone, it is not unreasonable to expect the sale of at least 500,000 units for the PC as well as 500,000 units for the Xbox 360.

Primary 2 – Traditional Gamblers

The second primary target is the Traditional Gambler.  Far Vista intends to market and appeal to their sense of adventure in beating the odds and the desire to win big.  With gambling popular in all countries, this market segment is at least as large as the FPS segment, if not larger by 100 times.  However, the appeal of a FPS to “win” money may require more time to take a foothold.

 
7

 

Primary 3 – Adrenaline Junkies

The third primary target market in the segment composed of “Adrenalin Junkies”.  These gamers are playing other extreme action sports and action games.  Adrenalin junkie gamers are always pushing the limits of the game and looking for more and more excitement and “leading edge” involvement.  These types of gamers live vicariously through their online heroics and accomplishments.

Test Markets

The Gauntlet has been tested in Canada, the United States, Germany, Singapore and China.  As the game nears completion, it is crucial it be tested in its “beta” form, that includes its’ user account and payment systems, in several other countries and locations.  The Beta centers include the following locations, available through Bruce Hoggard, our Executive Vice-President of International Development, Corporate Relations and Business Systems.

With the importance of Asia, and, particularly China, the first test center outside of Canada will be located in Shanghai, China.  The process will be handled and overseen by Cansino, a local marketing company with contacts throughout China, Europe and North America.  Shanda, the third largest game company in China, will continue to be the test center for the beta form of the game.  In this form we will test the integration of the Gauntlet payment system with Shanda’s user account system.

In Japan, the Japan Marketing Association will head up and operate the testing process.

In China, there will be two organizations involved in the testing process.  The first is Alcom Asia.  Alcom Asia will assist in the testing and collecting of feedback.  The second organization is the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong.  With the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong, Far Vista will have access to many male students who fit the gamer profile and can provide valuable comments and suggestions as the game is developed and tested.

Far Vista recognizes Indonesia as being the fourth largest population in the world and a potential market for the Gauntlet. Located in Jakarta and Singapore, MarkPlus Institute of Marketing will have the responsibility of testing the game during the development period.

The European beta test center will be located in Germany and be operated by m&p Public Relations GmbH.  The company will assist Far Vista in obtaining European reaction to the game, provide comments and recommendations on how to improve and hype-up the initial prototypes.

The Korean beta test center is yet to be confirmed.  Far Vista intends to have the test center established prior to month three (3) in the final development process.

Far Vista plans on establishing beta test centers in Canada, the United States, England, India, Thailand and several other countries included in our Executive Vice-President of International Development’s network of business contacts.

With the global ability to test and play the game in its final development, there is also the benefit of being able to test the web connections and portals by having various geographic testing centers play against each other.

Final Launch Development

On September 17, 2009 the Company announced that Sony Online Entertainment (San Diego, CA) has agreed to test Far Vista Tournament: Run The Gauntlet at their San Diego facility. Bringing the first skills based tournament experience to the online world Far Vista Interactive is looking forward to joining forces with Sony Entertainment.  The PS3 is a cutting edge console system that offers gamers an unparalleled immersive experience.  Sony Online Entertainment brings unparalleled excitement to the online world.

The Company is expected to continue to pursue the North America market during the remainder of 2009, and continue its efforts into 2010.  The Company is continuing to pursue its efforts in China.

Far Vista is presently in negotiations with Shanda to distribute the Gauntlet in China after being reviewed and recommended by several lower level management of Shanda.  Shanda currently has approximately 54 million online user accounts.  Should the execution of a distribution agreement occur between the parties, Far Vista and Shanda would require approximately four (4) months of database integration to allow Gauntlet to properly communicate with Shanda’s user account system.  The integration will be undertaken by five (5) computer data base programmers.  Modification to the game art assets requested by Shanda will also be completed over this time period.

Far Vista Studios is currently in the development and testing stage of its North American web based distribution, sales and user account system.

Far Vista’s initial marketing efforts will be focused on four areas:

 
(a)
Clearly defining the company/video game software product message to create reseller and end user awareness and demand for the Gauntlet.
     
 
(b)
Developing a video game software product strategy that appeals to both major retailers and consumers, including: (i) delivery of the Gauntlet that commands prominent retail shelf space; (ii) create attractive, eye catching retail packaging; and (iii) achieve consumer price points (comparably priced to other video games).
     
 
(c)
Establishing the "Far Vista" brand as a pioneer and leader in the category.
     
 
(d)
Creating an active experience for casual and avid gamers alike with a dedicated online game community.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary of Working Capital and Stockholders' Equity

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of $906,154 compared with negative working capital of $715,930 as of June 30, 2009 and $514,489 as of December 31, 2008.  The Company’s negative working capital has increased as a result of continuing on research and development expenditures, as well as a result of costs associated with a public relations and marketing agreement undertaken in the reporting period.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2009, we have very little cash.  Loans from shareholders and related parties and sales of equity are currently our only source of liquidity.  The ability of our Company to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon continuing loans and the continued issuance of equity to new shareholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.  Management believes that our Company's cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period.  We project that we will require an estimated additional $2,500,000 over the next twelve month period to fund our operating cash shortfall.  Our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities.  There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operation.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.  If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our video game software products and achieving a profitable level of operations.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Sources of Working Capital

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company's primary sources of working capital has come from related party loans.   The Company does not currently have any funds with which to progress its business plan and has been operating with funds provided by a company of which the beneficial owner is a shareholder of the Company.

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Company did not generate any revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and does not expect to generate any revenue until the Company can raise additional capital to launch Run the Gauntlet.

Research and Development Expense:

For the nine months ending September 30, 2009, research and development expenses were $87,009 as compared to $539,895 for the nine months period ending September 30, 2008.  The reduction in research and development expense relates to the fact that in 2008 we reflected an extraordinary expense for research and development as we completed the acquisition of Far Vista Holdings Inc. and research and development expenses were reflected from prior periods as well as the period ended September 2008.  For the three month period ending September 30, 2009, the research and development expenses were $36,294 as compared to $29,609 for the same period ending September 30, 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 were $42,297 as compared to $12,677 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.  For the three month period ending September 30, 2009, the general and administrative expenses were $35,749 as compared to $6,016 for the same period ending September 30, 2008.  The increase is related to increased expenses for travel related to our fund raising and development efforts.

Professional expenses:

Professional expenses for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009 were $97,716 compared to $29,405 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008, and for the three month period ending September 30, 2009, the professional expenses were $82,642 compared with $10,778 for the three month period ending September 30, 2008.

The increase in professional fees in the nine month comparison period between September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was due to increase in consulting fees related to our fund raising and development efforts.

Public relations and marketing expenses:

Public relations and marketing expenses for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009 were $175,000 as compared to nil for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.  This increase was due to the obligation in the 2nd quarter of this fiscal year to issue 750,000 shares of common stock and $100,000 cash under an agreement to provide public relations and marketing services, entered into during the 2nd quarter reporting period.  For the three month period ending September 30, 2009 and for the comparative period ending September 30, 2008, the public relations and marketing expenses were nil.
 
Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company presently does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

On May 27, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement (“Nassau Agreement”) with Nassau International Consultants, Inc (“Nassau”) to provide the Company with public and financial communications services and serve as required as the Company liaison and spokesperson. In consideration for the services rendered by Nassau, the Company agreed to compensate Nassau through the issuance of seven hundred and fifty thousand (750,000) shares of common stock and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) cash. The duration of the Nassau Agreement was for six (6) weeks. Under the Nassau Agreement, the provision of services commenced upon the issuance of shares, which occurred on July 14, 2009.

Subsequent to the expiry of the above said agreement, an extension of six months was verbally agreed to between the Company and Nassau.  No financial terms were required, as Nassau agreed to continue services pursuant to the terms of the May 27, 2009 agreement.   Subsequent to the period covered by this quarterly report all payments required under the Nassau Agreement were paid.

ITEM 3.                     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable

ITEM 4T.                  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).  Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f).  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation.  In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009.  In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.   Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of September 30, 2009:

1.           Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors.  We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee.  These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;

 
11

 


2.           Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations.  We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions, who provides two staff members.  The relatively small number of people who are responsible for bookkeeping functions and the fact that they are from the same firm of consultants 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 which may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC;

3.           Outsourcing of the accounting operations of our Company.   Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm.  The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are 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 firm;

4.           Insufficient installation of information technology to assist in our accounting functions.  Because of a lack of working capital and personnel, we do not have any information technology software and hardware to assist in providing effective controls;

5.           Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;

6.           Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of September 30, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based on that evaluation, they concluded that during the year ended December 31, 2008 and to date, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting.  However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.  During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.

Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses.  We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so.   We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit.  Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size.   Management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.

We are committed to improving our financial organization.   As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring or required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources.  We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements as necessary and as funds allow.

This quarterly 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 the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended fiscal September 30, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
