Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements.

The discussion in this Report on Form 10-Q, including the discussion in Item 2 of PART I, contains forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, “seeks”, “estimates”, and similar expressions or variations of these words are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Additionally, statements that refer to the Company’s estimated or anticipated future results, sales or marketing strategies, new product development or performance or other non-historical facts are forward-looking and reflect the Company’s current perspective based on existing information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth below as well as previous public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations included in Item 2 of PART I should also be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of PART I of this quarterly report. These quarterly financial statements do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the Commission on April 14, 2011. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the Commission on April 14, 2011.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note A to the Company’s financial statements in the 2010 Form 10-K, and are supplemented throughout the notes to condensed financial statements in this report. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the 2010 Form 10-K.

NOTE B – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 825, Financial Instruments, fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values as of June 30, 2011.

NOTE C – ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE D – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company.

MIRENCO, Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

In April 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This clarified the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially expand its financial statement footnote disclosures.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE E – LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti dilutive.

NOTE F – INVENTORY

Inventories, consisting of purchased finished goods ready for sale, are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. In addition, we maintain a reserve for the estimated value associated with damaged, excess or obsolete inventory. The reserve value generally includes inventory that has turn days in excess of 365 days, or discontinued items. At June 30, 2011 inventory reserve amounted to $54,323.

NOTE G - REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was ($360,182), and the Company had a working capital deficit of ($593,153) at June 30, 2011. The Company has incurred net losses aggregating ($13,791,875) from inception, and may continue to incur net losses in the future. If revenues do not increase substantially in the near future, additional sources of funds will be needed to maintain operations. These matters give rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management and other personnel have been focused on product and service development in lieu of product marketing. The Company’s management team has diligently explored several market segments relative to the Company’s product and service lines. From that exploration, the Company has decided it is in its best interests to explore the use of existing, well-established distribution channels for marketing and selling the DriverMax product line. Management also believes a large market exists for the Company’s testing services and the information provided by those services through the Company’s business relationship with Whayne Supply, a Caterpillar dealer in Kentucky. This exclusive contract was announced in the Company’s 8-K filing of January 15, 2009. A combination of the products and services has been developed as a long-term program for current and potential customers, particularly in regulated markets. Revenues from the agreement are below the Company’s expectations and Whayne Supply has not met the minimum sales requirements defined in the contract. The Company signed an amended exclusive agreement with Whayne Supply Co., Inc. on April 30, 2010, which is disclosed in the Company’s 8K filing, dated May 5, 2010. We believe that our continued relationship with Whayne will significantly improve the Company’s revenues in the future. Whayne Supply has signed four Caterpillar Dealers as Mirenco dealers to date and continues to develop markets for Mirenco’s products and services. We believe more Caterpillar dealers will become Mirenco dealers during the remaining quarters of 2011 and that sales and revenues will continue to increase. Management will focus on the Company’s efforts on the sales of products, services, and programs with sensible controls over expenses. Management believes these steps, if successful, will improve the Company’s liquidity and operating results, allowing it to continue in existence.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE H – NOTES PAYABLE

Effective January 18, 2008, the Company obtained a line of credit that calls for maximum borrowings of $301,500. The line bears interest at 8% per annum and is due January 18, 2018. As of the date of these financial statements, aggregate draws of $335,000 have been made against the line of credit. Total principal payments of $79,394 have been made on this line of credit as of June 30, 2011, leaving an outstanding balance of $255,606. The building with a net book value of $400,184 as of June 30, 2011 is collateral on the note.

NOTE J – REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In December 2006, Mirenco offered a minimum $3,000 investment for 25,000 shares of its common stock at $0.12 per share, plus 500 shares of convertible, redeemable preferred stock valued by the Company at $1 per share. In connection with this offering, 23,256 shares of the convertible, redeemable preferred stock were issued, of which 5,000 were converted to 25,000 shares of common stock during the period ended September 30, 2007. Each preferred share is convertible at the holder’s option, to five shares of the Company’s common stock, and carries a cumulative 6% dividend rate through December 31, 2011. The preferred shares may be redeemed by the Company any time after December 31, 2009, and must be fully redeemed on December 31, 2011, at $1.00 per share together with all cumulative dividends in arrears. Accordingly, the preferred shares are presented as shares subject to mandatory redemption in the accompanying financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2010, as disclosed in an 8K filing dated June 4, 2010, Mirenco offered Series A convertible, redeemable preferred stock at $.10 per share. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into one share of Common Stock. A total of 5,000,000 Series A convertible, redeemable, preferred shares were approved by the board of directors, for a total potential investment of $500,000. In connection with this offering, 1,300,000 shares of the Series A convertible, redeemable preferred stock were issued, for cash proceeds of $130,000. Each Series A share plus any unpaid dividends is convertible at the holder’s option, to one share of the Company’s common stock, and carries a cumulative 6% dividend rate through December 31, 2015. Any time, or from time to time, after December 31, 2011, the Company may redeem any or all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the holder and payment of the Redemption Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the date of redemption. The Series A convertible, redeemable, preferred shares must be fully redeemed on December 31, 2015, at $.10 per share together with all cumulative dividends in arrears.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General and Background

Mirenco, Inc. was organized and incorporated in the State of Iowa on February 21, 1997. We develop, market and distribute technologically advanced products, improving efficiencies in engine combustion and equipment application. Mirenco also offers consultative services in evaluating diesel engines through its Mirenco Diesel Evaluation Procedure (MDEP), which consists of testing procedures, comparison to other engines on its proprietary data base and making recommendations for maintenance activities and/or application of Mirenco’s proprietary technology.

Our primary products are derived from technology developed in the United States. They are D-Max, C-Max, EconoCruise and Fuel-Tracker.

In addition to products, Mirenco, Inc. offers consultative services with its Combustion Management Program called MDEP.

MDEP consists of the evaluation of a diesel engine based on a comparison with like engines. An evaluation is completed by performing a modified SAE-J1667 as well as a MIR 120 Second Transient evaluation. Mirenco has developed an extensive database of evaluation results, for thousands of diesel engines, using these techniques.

From these results, Mirenco can evaluate the condition of an engine, determine commonalities among engine types, evaluate an entire fleet and recommend appropriate maintenance procedures for each specific vehicle. From these results, we can also make recommendations for appropriate engine service that will improve engine combustion.

Mirenco’s MDEP has been successfully applied in the underground mining industry to reduce diesel particulate matter. This industry is under strict regulation from the Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to reduce particulate emissions for the safety of its workers’ health. Beginning in 2005, Mirenco introduced the combustion management program, MDEP, D-Max and C-Max products throughout the United States.

The Fuel-Tracker system was designed to meet our customers’ demand to accurately monitor fuel consumption for individual pieces of equipment. The Fuel-Tracker system uses a diesel engine’s turbo boost pressure to correlate fuel consumption of the engine. With this system it is possible to provide basic fuel consumption information that many customers are looking for, as well as many other management tools. Data from the Fuel-Tracker system provides equipment productivity in percentage of horse power, equipment idle time, shut down time, location for each unit of fuel consumed and much more. Fuel-Tracker technology has proven to be an effective tool to manage equipment maintenance, productivity and operator efficiency.

) Marketing methods Our strategy is to market and sell our products primarily through third party distributors and to a lesser extent through direct sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, sales through distributors accounted for 33% of our sales. As disclosed in an 8-K dated January 15, 2009, we have entered into a distributor agreement with Whayne Supply Company (Whayne). As disclosed in an 8-K dated May 5, 2010, the Company agreed to amend the distributor agreement minimum sales requirements with Whayne. We continue to expect that Whayne will be the exclusive distributor for our MDEP, Fuel Tracker, data base management and related services for off-road, heavy equipment and on-highway vehicles and equipment markets throughout the United States and Canada. Although the sales results from the Whayne relationship have been slower than expected, we continue to believe that our relationship with Whayne will bring value to Mirenco by providing exposure to 60 Caterpillar dealers and their customers, across the US and Canada. As of June 30, 2011, Whayne signed four Caterpillar dealers as Mirenco dealers. During the second quarter, Whayne has continued to develop relationships with other Caterpillar dealers, as well as market our products and service to their existing customers.

We have incurred annual losses since inception while developing and introducing our original products and focusing management and other resources on capitalizing the Company to support future growth. Relatively high management, personnel, consulting and marketing expenditures were incurred in prior years in preparation for the commercialization of our products. We expect distribution and selling expenses to increase directly with sales increase, however, as a percentage of sales, these expenses should decline as sales increase. It is anticipated that general and administrative expenses may increase as our business expands.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had total current assets of $49,786 and current liabilities of $642,939, resulting in a working capital deficit of ($593,153). The Company’s available sources for generating cash for working capital have been through the issuance of common stock and notes payable and, eventually, we expect that working capital will be available through the development of profitable operations.

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including expansion of our business; increased sales of both services and products, the cost of third-party financing, development of new revenue resources and administrative expense. We do not expect to expand our facilities during 2011.

On October 13, 2009 the Company signed a convertible promissory note with Whayne with a total aggregate principal amount of $100,000, with interest of 12%. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 per share, or (ii) the then current market price per Common Share, as determined by taking the average closing price of the Common Stock quoted on the OTC bulletin Board for the sixty (60) business days immediately prior to the conversion date. It is intended that the conversion will take place on August 31, 2014, the maturity date.

The following patents have been issued, with ownership as described below:

US Patent No. 6,845,314 for Method and Apparatus for Remote Communication of Vehicle Combustion Performance Parameters; Issued 1/18/2005; Valid until 1/2/2023 (assuming maintenance fees are paid); owned by Mirenco.

US Patent No. 6,370,472 for Method and Apparatus for Reducing Unwanted Vehicle Emissions Using Satellite Navigations; Issued 4/9/2002; Valid until 9/15/2020 (assuming maintenance fees are paid); owned by Mirenco.

US Patent No 7,454,284 for Method and Apparatus for Remote Communication and Control of Engine Performance; Issued 11/24/2008; Valid until 2/25/2025; owned by Dwayne Fosseen, subject to a 1993 license to American Technologies, LC which license was assigned by American Technologies to Mirenco in 1999.

We currently own the registered trademark for Mirenco, Reg. No. 3,691,344issued October 6, 2009. We have also made the following Trademark filings:

US Application No. 77/895,107 for “MIRENCO” – Notice of Allowance received, statement of use due July 13, 2011.

US Application No. 77/895,100 for “MIRENCO – YOU CANNOT MANAGE WHAT YOU CANNOT MEASURE (DESIGN)” – Notice of Allowance Received, statement of useor extension request due January 13, 2012 .

According to the terms of our agreement with American Technologies to acquire certain patent- rights, we have incurred a 3% royalty of annual gross sales for a period of 20 years, which began November 1, 1999.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was ($360,182). The Company has incurred net losses aggregating ($13,791,875) from inception, and may continue to incur net losses in the future. If revenues do not increase substantially in the near future, additional sources of funds will be needed to maintain operations. These matters give rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management and other personnel have been focused on product and service development in lieu of product marketing. The Company’s management team believes it has diligently explored several market segments relative to the Company’s product and service lines. From that exploration, the Company has decided it is in its best interests to explore the use of existing, well-established distribution channels for marketing and selling the DriverMax product line. Management also believes a large market exists for the Company’s testing services and the information provided by those services through the Company’s business relationship with Whayne, a Caterpillar dealer in Kentucky. This exclusive contract was announced in the Company’s 8-K filing of January 15, 2009. As disclosed in an 8-K dated May 5, 2010, the Company agreed to amend the distributor agreement minimum sales requirements with Whayne. Although Whayne has been developing a marketing strategy and ramping up sales efforts in the US and Canada, we have yet to experience an increase in sales from the arrangement. As of the second quarter of 2011, Whayne has signed four Caterpillar locations as Mirenco dealers and continues to develop the market for Mirenco services and products.

A combination of the products and services has been developed as a long-term program for current and potential customers, particularly in regulated markets. Management plans to focus on the Company’s efforts on the sales of products, services, and programs with sensible controls over expenses. Management believes these steps, if successful, will improve the Company’s liquidity and operating results, allowing it to continue in existence.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories. Inventories, consisting of purchased finished goods ready for sale, are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. We evaluate our inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that actively moving inventory, when viewed by category, is carried at the lower of cost or market. In addition, we maintain a reserve for the estimated value associated with damaged, excess or obsolete inventory. The reserve generally includes inventory that has turn days in excess of 365 days, or discontinued items. At June 30, 2011 our inventory reserve amounted to $54,323.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. We use the direct write-off method for accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible and believe there is no material difference in this method from the allowance method.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2011:

Gross sales of $99,228, including $20,369 in product sales and $78,859 in sales of services, were realized for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and were $10,322 less than sales of $109,550 for the same period one year ago. The decrease is primarily due to fewer meter sales in the second quarter of 2011 than in 2010 . Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $77,866 resulting in gross profit of $21,362 as compared to gross profit of $12,716 for the prior period, resulting to an increase in gross profit of $8,646. This increase is due primarily to more MDEP sales compared to the sales over the same period in the prior year. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, $45,375 of employment costs were included in Cost of Sales compared to $44,761 in the corresponding period in the prior year. Salary expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $90,840 compared to $84,874 in the corresponding period in the prior year. After accounting for the employment costs included in cost of sales, salaries were consistent with the corresponding period in the prior year.

Six months ended June 30, 2011:

Gross sales of $146,822 including $28,913 in product sales and $117,909 in sales of services, were realized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and were $7,221 more than sales of $139,601 for the same period one year ago. The increase is primarily due to more MDEP service sales. Although revenues during the second quarter of 2011 fell below the Company’s expectations and Whayne has not met the minimum sales requirements defined in the contract, we feel that marketing efforts and new relationships developed by Whayne during the first two quarters of 2011 will significantly improve the Company’s revenues in the future. The Company signed an amended exclusive agreement with Whayne on April 30, 2010, which is disclosed in the Company’s 8K filing, dated May 5, 2010. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $145,429 resulting in gross profit of $1,393 as compared to gross (loss) of ($9,681) for the same period in the prior year, resulting to an increase in gross profit of $11,074. This increase is due primarily to more MDEP sales compared to the sales over the same period in the prior year. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, $90,469 of employment costs were included in Cost of Sales compared to $88,641 in the corresponding period in the prior year. Salary expense for the six months ended June, 2011 was $176,886 compared to $169,200 in the corresponding period in the prior year. After accounting for the employment costs included in cost of sales, salaries were consistent with the corresponding period in the prior year.

A comparative breakdown of “Other general and administrative expenses” per the Statements of Operations included in PART I Item 1 above is as follows:

	Three Months	Three Months
	Ended	Ended
	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010

Royalty	$ 2,977	$ 3,287
Advertising	45	517
Depreciation and amortization	7,600	7,632
Insurance	16,293	6,084
Professional fees	26,816	33,152
Office expenses	10,425	5,197
Travel	1,539	1,144
Utilities	9,058	9,940

Total general and administrative expenses	$ 74,753	$ 66,953

Royalty expense is proportional to sales and is based on sales of products, services and rights pursuant to the contractual agreement with American Technologies. Under this agreement American Technologies assigned to Mirenco, Inc. its rights to use patents owned by Dwayne Fosseen and previously assigned to American Technology. The royalty is based on 3% of sales of products and services related to those patents beginning November 1, 1999 for a 20 year period.

Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $472 over the same period in the prior year due to posting more press releases in the prior period.

Depreciation and amortization expense was consistent with the corresponding period in the prior year.

Insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $10,209 over the same period in the prior year primarily due to the negative impact the Company’s financial situation had on renewal rates.

Professional fees expense decreased by $6,336 with the same period in the prior year primarily due to reduced legal fees.

Office expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $5,228 over the same period last year, primarily due to late payment fees and penalties.

Travel expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $395 compared to travel expense for the corresponding period in the prior year. This is primarily due to travel to trade shows.

Utilities expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 remained relatively consistent compared to utilities expense for the same period in the prior year.

	Six Months	Six Months
	Ended	Ended
	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010

Royalty	$ 4,405	$ 4,188
Advertising	65	527
Depreciation and amortization	15,200	15,300
Insurance	35,650	15,802
Professional fees	39,188	45,385
Office expenses	15,360	9,455
Travel	1,959	2,118
Utilities	24,218	22,141

Total general and administrative expenses	$ 136,045	$ 114,916

Advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $462 over the same period in the prior year, this is primarily due to less press releases in 2011.

Depreciation and amortization expense was consistent with the corresponding period in the prior year.

Insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $19,848 over the same period in the prior year primarily due to the negative impact the Company’s financial situation had on renewal rates.

Professional fees expense decreased $6,197 over the same period in the prior year, this is primarily due to reduced legal fees.

Office expenses for the six months ended June, 2011 increased $5,905 over the same period last year, this is primarily due to late fees and penalties.

Travel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $159 compared to travel expense for the corresponding period in the prior year. This is primarily due to less travel by management.

Utilities expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $2,077 compared to utilities expense for the same period in the prior year. This is due primarily to rate increases.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $48,645 and $41,437, respectively. Interest expense increased due to increased borrowing from a related party.

We use estimates in the preparation of our financial statements. The estimates used, relate to the valuation of receivables and the useful lives of equipment and patents. Since our receivables consist of larger individual accounts, we elect to use the direct write off method for those accounts that are deemed to be uncollectible. We believe there is no material difference in this method from the allowance method. There have been no accounts written off in 2011. If it is determined that potential losses of a material amount in receivables are likely, the allowance for doubtful accounts method will be adopted. No such allowance is considered to be required at

this time. If it were determined that the depreciated cost of our equipment and the amortized cost of our patents exceeded their fair market value, there would be a negative impact on our results of operations to the

extent the depreciated and amortized cost of these assets exceeded their fair market value.

The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts and circumstances that suggest impairment. During the first six months of 2011, no material impairment has been indicated. Should there be an impairment in the future, the Company will measure the amount of the impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the impaired assets exceed the fair value of the impaired assets.

We account for equity instruments issued to employees for services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and account for equity instruments issued to other than employees, based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.

We outsource the production of our DriverMax products to ICE Corporation of Manhattan, Kansas. If, for some reason, the relationship between the Company and ICE Corporation should be interrupted or discontinued, the operations of the Company could be adversely affected until such time as an alternative supply source could be located, contracted and begin producing our technology. Such an event could materially affect our results of operations. We continue to review our relationship with this single source and believe there is no need for an alternative source at this time. As sales of product grow, we will continue to review the need for alternative sources.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our management team will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting throughout 2011.
