BLACK HAWK EXPLORATION, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

May 31, 2010

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Black Hawk Exploration, Inc. (“Black Hawk” or the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at May 31, 2010, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s August 31, 2009 audited financial statements as included in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

On December 8, 2009 the Company formed Golden Black Hawk, Inc., a second wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Nevada to acquire, explore and develop gold properties in the United States and Canada.

Certain 2009 balances have been reclassified to conform to 2010 presentation.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – MINERAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

BMP Property

Corporate History

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 14, 2005. We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. We maintain our statutory registered agent’s office at 9360 W. Flamingo #110-158 Las Vegas, NV 89147 and our business office is located at 1174 Manitou Dr., PO Box 363, Fox Island, WA 98333. Our fiscal year end is August 31st. On March 15, 2007, we approved a ten (10) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock. We amended our Articles of Incorporation by the filing of a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State wherein it stated that we would issue ten shares for every one share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the forward stock split. The change in the Articles of Incorporation was effected with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 6, 2007. As a result, the authorized capital increased from 30,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.

Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.

Our Current Business

We are an exploration stage resource company, and are primarily engaged in the exploration for and development in the properties in which we have acquired interests. Black Hawk Exploration is a diversified energy and metals exploration company focused on identifying and exploring strategic high value properties and developing new prospective projects globally. Black Hawk Exploration will establish wholly owned corporate identities in multiple strategic minerals, high value commodities, and rare earth projects. In August 2009 the Company formed a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, Blue Lithium Energy Inc. Blue Lithium Energy will initially acquire, explore and develop a portfolio of strategic Lithium properties in the United States and Canada.

T he area the Company is currently evaluating has a geologic and topographic setting that is similar to Clayton Valley. During the mid-to late 1970’s the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) evaluated Lithium deposits and resources around the world. During the course of the program they drilled 22 holes in Nevada and Arizona. Initial drilling was in Clayton Valley (one of these drill sites was on Black Hawk claims adjacent to Chemetall Foote) to evaluate the known continental-brines. USGS holes drilled in the new target area had 1.3 and 1.7 ppm Lithium in the brines that were intersected plus 287 and 364 ppm lithium in the sediments. These are within the range of values that could be indicative for lithium brines in the target area.

We hold title to 56 placer mineral claims over a 1,120 acre site allowing Lithium exploration. The mineral claims give us the right to all of the minerals which can be claimed by placer claims underlying the land on which the claims have been staked. We began preliminary exploration on our property in September 2009 and we have completed Phase 1 Lithium exploration at our Clayton Valley properties.

On September 30, 2009 Black Hawk announced its Clayton Valley, Nevada acquisition. Black Hawk’s 1,120 acre site is located in the lithium rich Clayton Valley which is the home of the largest lithium brine production facility in the U.S. The Chemetall Foote facility has produced in excess of 50 million Kg of lithium to date and is scaled to produce 1.2 million Kg a year. The American Institute of Mining estimates the mineral resource of the Clayton Valley to be 750 million Kg of lithium. The lithium brine deposits are located at depths of a few hundred meters and can be extracted in an environmentally friendly manner.

On December 8, 2009 the Company formed a second wholly owned subsidiary in Nevada named Golden Black Hawk, Inc. This subsidiary then entered into an agreement (“the Option Agreement”) on December 10, 2009 (“the Effective Date”) with HuntMountain Resources Inc (HNTM) to purchase 75% of their option on a precious metal property in Nevada called Dun Glen. The Option Agreement entitles the Company to acquire undivided legal and beneficial interests of up to 75% in the Property free and clear of all liens, charges and claims of others. Considerations for the Option Agreement are as follows:

-	An initial payment of $50,000 (paid) and issuance of 250,000 restricted shares of common stock (not issued) on the Effective Date;

-	A further payment of $25,000 and issuance of 100,000 restricted shares of common stock on the first anniversary of the effective Date;

-	A further payment of $25,000 on the second anniversary of the Effective Date;

-	Incur or fund expenditures on the Property of not less than $700,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date.

The Company must also pay third parties $72,500 in 2011 and each year thereafter as part of their previous option agreements with HuntMountain Resources, Inc., for which Black Hawk assumed responsibility as part of the Option Agreement.

Product Research and Development

Our business plan is focused on the long-term exploration and development of our mineral properties.

In March of 2010 Black Hawks wholly owned subsidiary Blue Lithium Energy completed its primary drill program on its Clayton Valley claims, results are still pending.

In April of 2010 Black Hawks wholly owned subsidiary Golden Black Hawk authorized an initial budget of $50,000 for further development of the Dun Glen Mining claims. Permitting for an exploratory drill program was requested in April of 2010 and Black Hawk received authorization from the US Bureau of Land Management to commence effective early July. Black Hawk Exploration filed the required Reclamation Bond and currently is scheduling Phase 2 exploration targeted for late July.

Subject to funds available Black Hawk Exploration plans on increasing research and development over the next twelve months ending August 31, 2011.

Employees

Currently there are no full time or part-time employees of our company (other than our directors and officer who, at present, have not signed employment or consulting agreements with us). We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officer or directors). We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. However, if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs we may retain additional employees.

Purchase or Sale of Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve months ending May 31, 2011 unless sufficient funding is realized.

Competition

The mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for uranium and gold. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from our property.

The Lithium industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for Lithium. We are one of the smallest exploration companies. We are an infinitely small participant in the Lithium exploration market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of Lithium from our property. Readily available Lithium markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of Lithium. As the international demand for battery-powered devices steadily increases, the Global demand for our potential lithium production will focus the investment communities spotlight on Black Hawk and its Clayton Valley holdings. The Chemetall Foote Minerals facility at their Clayton Valley Silver Peak Mine, located in close proximity to our Blue Lithium Clayton Valley holdings, has been continually producing lithium utilizing brines from shallow 300 ft to 800 ft wells for almost 45 years (1965). The results from the Clayton Valley drill program discovered less then commercial values and the future exploration of Clayton Valley will be determined by Sept 1st ,2010 while Black Hawk focuses on its Nevada Dun Glen gold exploration program.

The mineral exploration industry is also fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for precious metals. We are one of the smallest exploration companies with very limited gold and silver property holdings. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold and silver exploration market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of gold and silver from our Dun Glen property. Readily available precious metals markets exist in around the world for the sale of gold and silver. As the international demand for these minerals steadily increases as reflected by the record highs being paid for these minerals the Global demand for our potential gold and silver production will focus the investment communities spotlight on Black Hawk and its wholly owned subsidiary Golden Black Hawk.

Government Regulations and Supervision

Our mineral exploration programs will be subject to the rules of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Site permitting will be done utilizing the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Notice Level process and amending existing permits in place. This provides for permitting in Clayton Valley of less then 5 acres of disturbance for exploration on mineral properties which is more than sufficient for Black Hawks current Lithium program. Most typically the entire Notice Level Permitting (NLP) is approved / accepted in 3 to 4 weeks. Once the NLP is submitted the BLM has 15 days to review and issue their comments and/or approval. Permits for Clayton Valley were applied for, approved and Phase 1 exploration was completed. Black Hawk received an existing exploratory permit as part of the Dun Glen acquisition and it was transferred to Black Hawk’s wholly owned subsidiary Golden Black Hawk from HuntMountain and this permit has passed the amendment process, Reclamation Bonds have been filed and accepted, and a Phase 2 exploratory program will commence late July 2010 .

The submission of Black Hawk’s NLP describes our ownership, intended exploration program, planned disturbance, and reclamation plans. The reclamation program for the NLP required bonding based on a prescribed BLM formula. The bonding process will utilize the Nevada Division of Mining Statewide Bonding Pool. This is applicable to our Lithium and gold and silver claims in Nevada. Bonding for all completed and pending projects have been approved.

Black Hawk’s Board of Directors have approved funding for the program submitted by Black Hawk Exploration’s Geologists and the Clayton Valley permitting process began in December 2009 with completion of the program in March of 2010. Black Hawk’s Board of Directors will approve funding for the Dun Glen program submitted by Black Hawk Exploration’s Geologists upon positive review by an independent Geophysicist retained by the Company. Results are still pending.

In April of 2010 Black Hawks wholly owned subsidiary Golden Black Hawk authorized an initial budget of $50,000 for further development of the Dun Glen Mining claims. Permitting and Bonding has been completed for the Nevada Dun Glen Phase 2 exploration and the US Bureau of Land Management has approved Black Hawk to proceed subject to the plans submitted.

Environmental Law

The Code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. The goal of this Act is to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:

1. Health and Safety

2. Archaeological Sites

3. Exploration Access

We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, to not disrupt archaeological sites, and to conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.

We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and we know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.

Nine Months ended May 31, 2010

During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, operating expenses totaled $485,182, and we experienced a net loss of $485,182 against no revenues. During the nine months ended May 31, 2009, operating expenses totaled $16,350, and we experienced a net loss of $16,350 against no revenues. The increased operating expenses and net loss resulted from the lack of activities in the nine month period in 2009. There were no mineral costs or stock-based compensation in 2009, while the Company incurred $163,811 related to mineral exploration activities and $140,633 stock based compensation by issuing 256,627 shares of the Company’s common stock for consulting and geological services in the nine month period in 2010. General and administrative expenses increased from $16,350 to $321,371 when the Company’s overall operation level increased from 2009.

Three Months ended May 31, 2010

During the three months ended May 31, 2010, operating expenses totaled $163,830, and we experienced a net loss of $163,830 against no revenues. During the three months ended May 31, 2009, operating expenses totaled $2,500, and we experienced a net loss of $2,500 against no revenues. The increased operating expenses and net loss resulted from the lack of activities in the nine month period in 2009. There were no mineral costs in 2009, while the Company incurred $94,917 related to mineral exploration activities and $68,913 in general and administrative in 2010 when the Company’s overall operation level increased from 2009.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At May 31, 2010, there was a working capital of $260,480 compared to $46,500 in 2009.

At May 31, 2010, our total current assets were $260,480, which consisted of cash of $230,006, restricted cash of $22,474 and prepaid expenses of $8,000.

At May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, our total current liabilities were $-0-, respectively.

Historically, we have financed our cash flow and operations from the sale of stock and advances from shareholders. Net cash provided by financing activities was $655,000 during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and $1,189,300 from inception to May 31, 2010.

We have no external sources of liquidity in the form of credit lines from banks.

On October 19, 2009 the Company entered into an equity financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”), whereby the Company may draw up to $1,000,000 by issuing units (the “Units”) at $0.85 per unit with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one common stock purchase warrant exercisable into one common share for two years, at $1.05 for the first 12 months and $1.25 for the second 12 months. Under the term of the agreement the Company has the right to call upon funds as needed. The securities will be issued upon receiving registration approval. In accordance with the Financing Agreement, as of May 31, 2010 the Company has received gross proceeds of $600,000 for subscription of 705,882 units at $0.85 per unit. The units were issued from February to May, 2010.

Plan of Operation

Cash Requirements

Over the twelve months ending May 31, 2011 we plan to expend a total of approximately $130,000 on future mineral property acquisitions and $1,000,000 on property development.

Based on our current plan of operations, we require immediate funds to commence our exploration operations. We currently have cash on hand of $230,006. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional cash of approximately $1,000,000 to allow us to complete our proposed exploration program. If we fail to raise sufficient funds, we may modify our operations plan accordingly. Even if we do raise funds for operations, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

We do not have enough funds to commence and complete our proposed exploration program.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional funds required for our continued operations. In such event that we do not raise sufficient additional funds by secondary offering or private placement, we will consider alternative financing options, if any, or be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Over the twelve months ending May 31, 2011 we intend to use all available funds to commence exploration of our mineral properties, as follows:

Estimated Funding Required During the Next Twelve Months

General and Administrative	$	10,000
Operations:
Future property acquisitions		130,000
Working capital		10,000
Development of properties		1,000,000
Total	$	1,150,000

Going Concern

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. 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.

We have historically incurred losses, and through May 31, 2010 have incurred losses of $1,181,282 from our inception.

However, there are no assurances that we will be able to either (1) ever achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through future private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from our recently completed offering, operations and any future private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our independent auditor’s report on our audited financial statements, in our Form 10-K annual report filed November 30, 2009 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, expressed substantial doubt concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The explanatory paragraph contained in their audit report should be read in connection with our management’s discussion of our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.

We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed, if we do not we will go out of business.

Our independent accountant’s report to our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2009, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.

Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration our properties, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As of May 31, 2010, we had cash in the amount of $230,006. We currently do not have any significant operations and we have no income.

Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the property. We do not currently have sufficient funds to conduct initial exploration on the property and require additional financing in order to determine whether the property contains economic mineralization. We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of the property are greater than anticipated.

We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for resources, investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the property to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.

Because we have not commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.

Although we have recently commenced operations and are preparing to commence exploration, we have commenced limited exploration on the property. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on April 14, 2005 and have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of our mineral property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the mineral claims and the production of minerals from the claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.

There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

We lack an operating history and we expect to have losses in the future.

We have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the following:

o	Our ability to locate a profitable mineral property;
o	Our ability to generate revenues; and

o	Our ability to reduce exploration costs.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and consequently may not find mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find mineralized material, although our mineral claims may contain mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.

If we become subject to onerous government regulation or other legal uncertainties, our business will be negatively affected.

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral property exploration and development. The regulatory regime under which we operate in the future will likely require work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws do not affect our current exploration plans, if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the mineral claims, we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.

In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws May be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and consequently may not find mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find mineralized material, although our property may contain mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.

As we face intense competition in the mining industry, we will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.

The mining industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. Competition includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive mining claims or financing on terms we consider acceptable. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration and development programs may be slowed down or suspended.

We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officer and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officer and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officer.

Volatility of Stock Price.

Our common shares are currently publicly traded on the OTC BB exchange under the symbol BHWX. In the future, the trading price of our common shares may be subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of the common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for software technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of the common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being May 31, 2010, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company’s management, including our company’s President along with our company’s Secretary. Based upon that evaluation, our company’s President along with our company’s Secretary concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. The deficiency is a result of inadequate segregation of duties and the lack of an audit committee. The Company plans to address these deficiencies as funds become available.

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period 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 management, including our President and Secretary as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
