Texada Ventures Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
(Unaudited)
 

1.      Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
 
Texada Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 17, 2001. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by ASC 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas and mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.  As at February 28, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit of $836,318 and has accumulated losses of $1,394,249 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
As at February 28, 2011, the Company had no cash, and for the next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund its proposed exploration program and continued operations will be $320,000. Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months, and will need to seek additional debt or equity financing to meet its planned expenditures. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient cash to fund its future exploration programs and operational expenditures.

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a)    
Basis of Presentation
 
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is November 30.
 
b)    
Interim Financial Statements
 
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2011 with the SEC.
 
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at February 28, 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the fiscal periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
 
c)    
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As at February 28, 2011, the Company has 701,366 split-adjusted dilutive securities outstanding. At February 28, 2011 and 2010, the effect of the Company’s outstanding common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
d)    
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to its investment in mining and mineral claims, valuation of note receivable, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
 
e)    
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As at February 28, 2011, the Company has 701,366 split-adjusted dilutive securities outstanding. At February 28, 2011 and 2010, the effect of the Company’s outstanding common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented.
 
f)    
Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.
 
g)    
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
h)    
Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
 
i)    
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
 
j)    
Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
Our financial instruments consist principally of bank indebtedness, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, promissory notes payable, and convertible debentures. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  The fair value of the convertible debentures is determined using “Level 2” inputs and approximate carrying value.
 
The Company has operations in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Management believes that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
 
k)    
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
 
l)

Convertible Debentures
 
a)    
On April 10, 2007, the Company issued a 6% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $200,000 which was due and payable on December 31, 2008.  Interest is payable semi-annually beginning on September 30, 2007, and thereafter on March 31st and September 30th of each year, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares. As at November 30, 2009, the Company had not made any interest payments and pursuant to the debenture has accrued default interest of 8% since September 30, 2007. The principal and accrued interest on the debenture may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.625 per share, at the option of the holder.
 
In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $80,000 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount which will be charged to operations over the term of the convertible debenture. The Company records accretion expense over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of $200,000. The Company entered into a first amendment to the convertible debenture to extend the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010, which has been further extended to June 30, 2011 by a second amendment.  As at December 31, 2010, $136,185 had been accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debenture to $256,185. As at December 31, 2010, the Company had accrued interest of $57,721.
 
Pursuant to ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, the total future cash flows of the restructured debt was compared with the carrying value of the original debt.  As the total future cash flows of the restructured debt were greater than the carrying value at the date of amendment, the carrying value of the original debt at the date of modification was not adjusted.  Pursuant to ASC 470-60, a new effective interest rate was computed and used to determine interest expense for the modified debenture. At February 28, 2011, $80,000 had been accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debenture to $200,000. As at February 28, 2011, the Company has accrued interest of $60,307.

As at November 30, 2009, the Company had not made any interest payments and pursuant to the debenture has accrued default interest of 8% since May 31, 2008. The principal and accrued interest on the debenture may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.625 per share, at the option of the holder.
 
In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $44,000 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount which will be charged to operations over the term of the convertible debenture.

As at December 18, 2008, the Company had accrued interest of $8,333.
 
Pursuant to ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, the total future cash flows of the restructured debt was compared with the carrying value of the original debt.  As the total future cash flows of the restructured debt were greater than the carrying value at the date of amendment, the carrying value of the original debt was not adjusted.  Pursuant to ASC 470-60, a new effective interest rate was computed and used to determine interest expense for the modified debenture.
 
On October 29, 2010, the Company negotiated a debt settlement agreement with the holder of the convertible note. It was negotiated for interest to cease accruing on October 1, 2010. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to settle the $110,000 convertible note and $24,052 accrued interest by issuing 670,262 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $33,513 on January 4, 2011 (see Note 9(b)).

Loan receivable
 
The Company provided a note receivable of $93,160 to Royalty Exploration, LLC (“Royalty Exploration”) pursuant to a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) signed on September 16, 2008 that set forth the principal terms upon which the Company would enter into a definitive agreement to acquire Royalty Exploration (the “REX Acquisition”) and commence a concurrent financing of $40,000,000. The note receivable is due upon the close of the REX Acquisition or, if the REX Acquisition is not consummated, in 12 equal monthly installments after the termination of the Term Sheet. The REX Acquisition was not consummated and the Term Sheet expired on May 31, 2009. Due to uncertainty as to the collectability of the loan at November 30, 2009, a provision was recorded to write off the entire amount.
 
During fiscal 2010, payments of $41,647 were recovered and recorded as a recovery in other income and amounts owing to Royalty Exploration totaling $9,876 were written off pursuant to the Term Sheet as the REX Acquisition was not consummated.
 
During the three month period ended February 28, 2011, payments of $13,881 were recovered and recorded as a recovery in other income.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Texada Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral and resource properties. We were incorporated on October 17, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  Our principal office is located at 491 – 9th Street, Manhattan Beach, CA, 90266.  Our phone number is 310-720-9029 and our facsimile number is 310-374-9385.
 
OUR BUSINESS

We have acquired a 100% undivided interest in a group of mineral claims located in the Wheaton River District in the Yukon Territory, Canada that we refer to as the Peek Claims.

We have not earned any revenues to date. Our plan of operation is to continue to carry out exploration work on the Peek Claims in order to ascertain whether they possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our current or targeted claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs. We will not be able to determine whether or not our current or targeted mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.

We generally conduct our business through verbal agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties. Our verbal agreement with our geologist includes his reviewing all of the results from the exploratory work performed upon the site and making recommendations based on those results in exchange for payments equal to the usual and customary rates received by geologists performing similar consulting services.

As a result of our failure to generate substantial revenues since our inception, we reviewed our initial business plan in order to evaluate the progress of our mining business. We have not attained profitable operations to date and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining financing on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all.

Following Dr. John Veltheer’s acquisition of 49% of our issued and outstanding shares and his appointment to the board of directors of Texada in October 2006, we decided to continue to develop our current mining business and to seek other business opportunities in related industries. In accordance with that decision, in September 2008, we appointed Ted R. Sharp as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and a member of our Board of Directors.

On November 30, 2010, Ted R. Sharp submitted his resignation as a director of the Company and from the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  The Company’s Board of Directors accepted Mr. Sharp’s resignation and appointed David Brow as a director of the Company and to the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.

RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

We experienced no significant corporate developments during the quarter ended February 28, 2011.

PLAN OF OPERATION

As a result of our failure to generate any revenues since our inception, we have not been satisfied with our initial business plan to this point.
 
Our current plan of operation is to continue exploration work on our mineral properties, as described below, while also seeking acquisition opportunities to acquire a company or operation which would return sufficient shareholder value.  We are currently evaluating acquisition targets in complementary industries. We cannot assure investors that we will be successful in locating a suitable acquisition target, or that our capital raising efforts will be successful given the current state of the financial markets or that we can successfully complete an acquisition.
 
During the exploration stage, David Brow, our President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Veltheer will only be devoting approximately twenty hours per week of their time to our business. We do not foresee this limited involvement as negatively impacting the Company over the next twelve months. All exploratory work on our mining properties, if any, is being performed by our geological consultant, Mr. Timmins, who contracts with appropriately experienced parties to complete work programs. However, if as a result of our acquisition efforts, the demands of our business require more business time of Mr. Brow or Dr. Veltheer, such as raising additional capital or addressing unforeseen issues with regard to our exploration efforts, they are prepared to adjust their timetable to devote more time to our business.
 
Mineral Properties
 
As described in previous filings, we have taken a phased approach to our exploration efforts on the Peek Claims, and have received a geological report on the results of Phase III of our program with further recommendations from our geological consultant of additional activities prior to engaging in Phase IV of our plan. In his report, our geologist recommended that, prior to proceeding with Phase IV, further geological engineering should be undertaken to define the exact source areas for the known and new vein float material. Our geologist recommended reserving a total of $10,000 for a two-stage delineation program prior to commencing Phase IV of our exploration program. We proceeded with our geologist’s recommendation and completed the first phase of the delineation program during the summer exploration season of 2006. A detailed, close-spaced, soil geochemical survey over the conductors using a plugger style overburden sampling drill was recommended to locate the bed rock source of the mineralization following completion of the first phase of the delineation program.
 
Our decision to proceed to Phase IV of our initial exploration program will be made based on factors such as other business opportunities, the final assay results and the recommendations of our geologist, the grades of any mineralization found, the size and extent of the mineralized zones, and the strength of metal prices in international markets.  Phase IV is currently estimated to cost $120,000.  Given our current working capital situation and the costs of implementing Phase IV of our exploration program, we currently do not anticipate implementing Phase IV in the foreseeable future.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
 
Our expenditures toward the exploration of our mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing sufficient capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. This assessment will include an assessment of our cash reserves, the price of minerals and the market for financing of mineral exploration projects at the time of our assessment.

Planned Expenditures
 
We anticipate that we will require capital for the following expenses over the next twelve months relating to our continued operations:

As at the Company’s fiscal year end of November 30, 2010, the Company had three 6% convertible debentures outstanding with principal amounts totaling $460,000 due and payable on December 31, 2010. Interest is payable on the convertible debentures at the option of the Company in cash or shares.
 
During the quarter ended February 28, 2011, the Company settled one of these convertible debentures in the principal amount $110,000, together with interest accrued thereon, through the issuance of 670,262 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, effective December 31, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment with the holder of each remaining outstanding convertible debenture to extend the maturity date of such debentures from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.  Consequently, as of the date hereof, two convertible debentures in the principal amount of $350,000 remain outstanding which are due and payable on June 30, 2011.
 
The principal on these debentures may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders.  As we have as yet been unsuccessful in our efforts to raise equity, we do not have cash sufficient to satisfy the debentures in cash.  Absent financing, we may negotiate with the holders of the convertible debentures to convert them to common stock or modify terms sufficient to remove or delay the requirement to satisfy the obligations with cash.  Should we be unable to reach conversion or modification of the convertible debentures on terms acceptable to us and should we be unable to raise financing sufficient to satisfy the debentures in cash, we may be required to default on our obligations under the convertible debentures.
 
We also maintain our position in mining claims in our mineral property referred to as the Peek Claim.  In the event we decide to proceed with Phase IV of our exploration program, which is estimated to cost $120,000, we will need to obtain additional financing of nearly $320,000 to fund exploration, operating expenses and our working capital deficit.
 
As of February 28, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $836,318. We do not expect our business to achieve profitability in the near future as we expect to continue to incur substantial acquisition, development and operating expenses. We will require additional funding to fund our working capital requirements. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or debt to fund our estimated general administration, exploration and other working capital requirements.
 
Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to fund our capital requirements. If we do not obtain the necessary financing, then our plan of operation will be scaled back according to the amount of funds available. The inability to raise the necessary financing will severely restrict our ability to continue exploration programs or acquisition activities as planned.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as
 
 
14
 

 
 
a result of many factors. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but the Company does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below, are also disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2011, and have not changed significantly.
 
Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Summary of Revenue

We have not earned any revenues to date. Our plan of operation, in regards to mineral properties, is to continue to carry out exploration work on our claims in order to ascertain whether they possess commercially exploitable quantities of mineral deposits and to explore acquisition opportunities. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we are able to locate and process commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties or acquire commercially viable or producing properties.

We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs. We will not be able to determine whether or not our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability. Also, we cannot assure you that we will be able to acquire any commercially viable properties or, if acquired, that we will be able to develop or operate any acquired property in a profitable manner.

For the three months ended February 28, 2011, our operating expenses increased from the same period in 2010 by $11,746.  The increase in operating expenses for the most recent quarter is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $18,696 and a loss on foreign exchange of $3,630 compared to a gain during the

same period in 2010 of $698.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting expenses of $11,278.  Other income for the three months ended February 28, 2011 increased by $351,108 from a loss of $17,934 for the period ended February 28, 2010 to a gain of $333,174 for the same period in 2011.  This increase in other income was primarily due to a gain on settlement of debt of $328,887 for the period ended February 28, 2011 compared to $70 for the same period in 2010, recovery on a loan receivable of $13,881 for which a provision for potential uncollectability had been created in fiscal 2010, and decreased interest on promissory notes and convertible debentures for the period ended February 28, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, due the settlement of certain promissory notes and convertible debentures since our fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2010.

As at February 28, 2011, we had no cash and a working capital deficit of $836,318. The decrease in our working capital deficit at February 28, 2011 from our year ended November 30, 2010 is primarily a result of a decrease in promissory notes and convertible debentures payable.
 
During the quarter ended February 28, 2011, we settled a convertible debenture in the principal amount $110,000, together with interest accrued thereon, through the issuance of 670,262 shares of the Company’s common stock.   Additionally, during the quarter ended February 28, 2011, we settled promissory notes in the principal amount $265,000, together with interest accrued thereon, through the issuance of 1,496,853 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
As of February 28, 2011, we had two convertible debentures in the principal amount of $350,000 outstanding which are due and payable on June 30, 2011.  Additionally as of February 28, 2011, we had promissory notes in the principal amount of $187,500 outstanding which are due and payable on demand.  We do not have sufficient capital to satisfy these convertible debentures and promissory notes in cash if payment is demanded by their holders.
 
Because we have as yet been unsuccessful in our efforts to raise equity to fund an acquisition, we do not have cash sufficient to satisfy the convertible debentures and promissory notes in cash. Absent financing, we may negotiate with the holders of the convertible debentures and promissory notes to convert them to common stock or modify terms sufficient to remove or delay the requirement to satisfy the obligations with cash. Should we be unable to reach conversion or modification of the convertible debentures and promissory notes on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to default on the obligations.
 
We also maintain our position in mining claims in our mineral property referred to as the Peek Claim. In the event we decide to proceed with Phase IV of our exploration program, which is estimated to cost $120,000, we will need to obtain additional financing of nearly $320,000 to fund exploration, operating expenses and working capital deficit.
 
We do not expect our business to achieve profitability in the near future as we expect to continue to incur substantial acquisition, development and operating expenses. We will require additional funding to fund our working capital requirements. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or debt to fund our estimated general administration, exploration and other working capital requirements.
 
 
17
 

 
 
Currently, we do not have sufficient capital to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve months and we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to fund our capital requirements. If we do not obtain the necessary financing, then our plan of operation will be scaled back according to the amount of funds available. The inability to raise the necessary financing will severely restrict our ability to continue exploration programs or acquisition activities as planned.
 
Our auditors expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern related to our financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2010, and these circumstances have not improved. The factors related to the determination of our ability to continue as a going concern include our working capital deficit, lack of foreseeable revenues from operations, need for additional capital to maintain our interest in the Peek Claims, and need for additional capital to fund our general and administrative requirements. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, complete an acquisition and conduct successful exploration activities on our properties and drive appreciation in the value of our exploration properties and assets. If we are unable to raise additional capital in a timely manner, sufficient to close an as yet unidentified acquisition, we may be required to sell our Peek Claims or permit such claims to lapse. As a result, we may be forced to discontinue operations.
 
We have not declared or paid dividends on our shares since incorporation and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting as described in our Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not adequately designed and were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms.

Management is taking steps to address the material weaknesses previously identified.  We engaged legal counsel who is experienced and qualified to practice before the SEC, who actively reviewed Company events and major transactions to advise management on appropriate disclosure of those events and transactions. In addition, we engaged Lancaster & David to provide accounting consulting services and to assist in the preparation of our financial statements.  Company filings with the SEC are reviewed by the Board of Directors, our management, and our SEC legal firm for proper and complete disclosure. Although the lack of sufficient working capital has had an adverse effect on significant improvement in disclosure controls and procedures, management believes that internal control over financial reporting in the future will improve the results of its evaluation of disclosure controls.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
