CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains “forward-looking statements” which reflect management’s expectations regarding the Company’s future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, the future price of graphite or other metal prices, the estimation of Mineral Resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital, operating and exploration expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations of insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in labor costs or other costs of production; future prices of graphite or other industrial mineral prices; possible variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry, including but not limited to environmental hazards, cave-ins, pit-wall failures, flooding, rock bursts and other acts of God or unfavorable operating conditions and losses; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; actual results of reclamation activities, and other unspecified factors. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING MINERAL RESOURCES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other information released by the Company uses the terms “resources”, “measured resources”, “indicated resources” and “inferred resources”. United States investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Inferred resources are in addition to measured and indicated resources. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in this Form 10-Q and in press releases by the Company in the past and in the future, have been or will be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. The requirements of NI 43-101 are not the same as those of the SEC.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial statements of Mindesta Inc. (the “Company” and formerly “Industrial Minerals, Inc.”), for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and the notes thereto (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

For Three Months Ended and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

The Company consolidated the results of Northern Graphite Corporation (“Northern”) in its financial statements up until December 31, 2010. As of January 7, 2011, the Company determined that it would no longer consolidate Northern in its financial statements. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated Northern from the financial statements effective January 7, 2011 and the financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2011 are presented on a non-consolidated basis whereas the comparative financial statements for the periods ending December 31 and September 30, 2010 are presented on a consolidated basis.

Exchange Rates & U.S. Dollar

All assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates. Statements of operations items are translated using average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term inter-company obligations using period-end exchange rates. Unrealized gains and losses on long-term inter-company obligations are recognized within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Exchange gains and losses are primarily the result of fluctuations in currency rates between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the Canadian dollar (currency of the foreign non-consolidated affiliate in which the Company has an investment), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated inter-company obligations between the Company and the foreign non-consolidated affiliate in which the Company has an investment. All inter-company balances are revolving in nature and are not deemed to be long-term balances. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, foreign currency losses of $520 and $52,220, respectively, were recognized.

NOTE 2 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Organization

The Company was incorporated on November 6, 1996, as Winchester Mining Corporation in the State of Delaware. On May 13, 2000, in connection with its merger with Hi-Plains Energy Corp., the Company changed its name from Winchester Mining Corporation to PNW Capital, Inc. On January 31, 2002, the Company acquired 91% of the outstanding shares of Industrial Minerals, Inc. On May 2, 2002, the Company merged the remaining 9% of Industrial Minerals, Inc. into PNW Capital, Inc. and changed its name to Industrial Minerals, Inc. Operations have been carried out through the Company’s subsidiary and principal asset, Northern Graphite Corporation (“Northern”), formerly Industrial Minerals Canada Inc. Northern owns a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek graphite property located in Renfrew County in the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Bissett Creek Property”). As a result of a number of financings and other transactions completed in 2010, the Company’s interest is Northern was reduced from 100% to 51.2% as at December 31, 2010. On January 7^th, 2011, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of Northern and on April 18, 2011, Northern completed an initial public offering which, along with warrants of Northern being exercised since the offering, has reduced the Company’s ownership to 30.6% as at September 30, 2011. Effective July 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to “Mindesta Inc.” and consolidated its stock on a 20:1 basis. The Company trades on the OTCBB under the symbol MDST.

(b) Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of Mindesta Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Financial Statements are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the Financial Statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the fair value measurement of liabilities and provided clarification that, in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The guidance is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2010 which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued guidance changing how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design; and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. The guidance also requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. The guidance is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010, for a calendar year-end entity. Early application is not permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2010 which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in the ASC. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, the guidance now requires: A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, the guidance clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures: For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard on January 1, 2010 which did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SECs literature. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements position or results of operations.

(c) Principals of Consolidation

As a result of the Company having reduced its ownership of Northern to an amount less than majority ownership as at January 7^th, 2011, the Company deconsolidated its interest in Northern and has presented its ownership in Northern according to the equity method of accounting for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Financial Statements have therefore been prepared on a non-consolidated basis whereas the financial statements and interim financial statements of the Company, for the periods ending December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 and the notes thereto have been prepared on a consolidated basis.

F8

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance (which was codified into ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation" with the issuance of ASU No. 2009-17) that requires a primarily qualitative analysis to determine if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This analysis is based on whether the enterprise has (a) the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. In addition, enterprises are required to more frequently reassess whether an entity is a variable interest entity and whether the enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has determined that it has no obligation to absorb losses of Northern or the right to receive benefits from Northern that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity and accordingly, Northern was deconsolidated in January of 2011 and is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The deconsolidation of Northern resulted in a decrease in assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest as of January 1, 2011 of $1,205,663, $1,084,783 and $319,235, respectively. These changes included the deconsolidation of: (a) mine reclamation deposit totaling $316,218; (b) property, plant and equipment, net totaling $426,396; and (c) asset retirement obligation liabilities totaling $316,218. The Company recognized a gain on its deconsolidation of $6,035,839. The portion of this gain related to the remeasurement of retained investment in Northern related to its fair value was $4,811,588. Fair value was determined using the share price of $0.50 received in proceeds in the Company’s sale of shares in the deconsolidation transaction with a non-related party. Additionally, as a result of Mindesta’s investment in Northern being accounted for under the equity method, an investment of $11,069,565 was recorded on January 1, 2011.

The Company accounts for non-marketable investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control of, an investee. Significant influence generally exists if there is an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for additional investments and their proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company records its share of the investee’s earnings or losses in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated entities, net of income taxes, in its consolidated statements of operations. Equity investments of less than 20% are stated at cost. The cost is not adjusted for its proportionate share of earnings or losses. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. When evidence of loss in value has occurred, the Company compares fair value of the investment to its carrying value to determine whether impairment has occurred. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and management considers the decline to be other than temporary, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as impairment in the consolidated financial statements.

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates consist of the Company’s ownership interest in Northern Graphite Corporation.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE

On January 7, 2011, the Company sold 2,000,000 common shares of Northern for CDN $0.50 per share and realized total proceeds of CDN$1,000,000. After the deconsolidation of Northern resulting from this transaction, the Company used these funds to support Northern and keep work going on the Bissett Creek Property pending the completion of Northern’s initial public offering. As the initial public offering was completed, this funding is no longer required and all related debt has been settled (see note 9).

As at September 30, 2011, the Company owned 9,750,000 common shares of Northern which represents a 30.6% interest. If all of Northern’s warrants were exercised the Company’s interest in Northern would be 22.9% .

NOTE 4 - PRESENTATION OF INTERIM INFORMATION

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, in the opinion of management, include all normal adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

F9

The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do not include information included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

A. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

The Company adopted ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123) “Stock-Based Compensation”, effective April 1, 2007. Compensation cost for the Company’s stock options have been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed as ASC 718. The fair value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

On July 26, 2011, the Company consolidated its common stock on a 20:1 basis. All common stock numbers and stock option numbers have been restated to reflect the consolidation.

On September 20, 2010, the Company granted stock options to purchase 450,000 common shares at a price of $0.30 per share until September 20, 2015. All options vested immediately. The fair value of the option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 220%; risk-free interest rate of 2.24%; and an expected term of 5 years.

On April 19, 2011, the Company granted stock options to purchase 112,500 common shares at a price of $1.40 per share until April 19, 2016. All options vested immediately. The fair value of the option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 220%; risk-free interest rate of 2.09%; and an expected term of 5 years.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Exercisable at September 30, 2011 – 562,500.

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company had stock compensation expense for the year ending December 31, 2010 of $154,408. Stock-based compensation expense of $155,396 was incurred in the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

B. COMMON STOCK

The number of common shares outstanding for September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, before and after giving effect to the 20:1 stock consolidation on July 29, 2011 was as follows:

The basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding before and after giving effect to the 20:1 stock consolidation on July 29, 2011 was as follows:

F10

The fully-diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding before and after giving effect to the 20:1 stock consolidation on July 29, 2011 was as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, and for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2010 the inclusion of common stock equivalents in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mine Development and Closure

A Mine Development and Closure Plan for Northern has been filed with, and accepted by, the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (“MNDM”), in accordance with the MINING ACT, R.S.O. 1990, Ontario Regulation 240/00, including the standards, procedures and requirements of the Mining Code of Ontario. As the Company no longer consolidates the operations of Northern, no amount has been accounted for as a long term deposit as at September 30, 2011. A financial assurance in the amount of $316,218 was accounted for as a long term deposit as at December 31, 2010. Northern had paid this amount to the Minister of Finance for the Province of Ontario. This financial assurance represents the estimated amount that would be required to restore the Bissett Creek Property to its original environmental state. The money pledged for this financial assurance will be returned to Northern once the MNDM is satisfied that the obligations contained in the Mine Development and Closure Plan have been performed. Should Northern not perform its obligations contained in the Mine Development and Closure Plan the MNDM will restore the Bissett Creek Property to its original environmental state using the assurance and Northern will be responsible for any costs in excess of this amount.

NOTE 7 – NOTES AND LOANS PAYABLE

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no transactions involving notes and loans payable. As the Company no longer consolidates the operations of Northern, no amount has been accounted for as a note or loan payable as at September 30, 2011.

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

a) The Company and Northern entered into an intercompany revolving loan agreement whereby all amounts due from Northern to the Company would be provided under a $600,000 credit facility which was repayable in two years, unless an initial public offering of at least $3,000,000 was completed by Northern before such date. In this case, Mindesta could demand repayment immediately. The credit facility bore interest from March 1st, 2011 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent and was payable annually, or earlier at any time that the credit facility was repaid in full. The debt of $506,734 and the related interest of $2,822 were settled as at April 26th, 2011.

b) The Company expensed management fees to directors and to companies controlled by directors of $18,867 (2010 – $110,659).

As at September 30, 2011, accounts payable and accrued liabilities included $nil (December 31, 2010 - $141,961) due to directors and to companies controlled by directors for professional management fees related to the services of the directors and officers.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 6, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a revolving loan agreement between Mindesta Inc., as the lender, and Nubian Gold Corporation (“Nubian”), as the borrower, to fund the ongoing exploration activities of Nubian in anticipation of the companies negotiating and entering into a property option agreement with respect to Nubian’s two exploration licenses, Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar, located in the Republic of Somaliland. Nubian is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes, CEO, is its major shareholder. Mr. Bowes declared his conflict of interest to the Board of Directors and abstained from voting on the consent resolution approving the revolving loan agreement. Under the revolving loan agreement, all amounts due from Nubian to the Company will be provided under a $100,000 credit facility which is repayable upon the earlier of one year from the date of the agreement or the signing of a property option agreement. If the revolving loan agreement becomes repayable upon the signing of a property option agreement, all obligations of Nubian shall be applied against the expenditure requirements of the Company under the property option agreement, the obligations shall be considered paid in full, and the revolving loan agreement will terminate and will have no further force or effect. Advances under the facility bear interest from October 6, 2011 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent, payable annually, or earlier at anytime that the advances are repaid in full. As of November 10, 2011, Nubian has received advances of $44,692 under this revolving loan agreement.

F11

On November 9, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to distribute the common shares of Northern that the Company owns to the Company's shareholders. The Company owns 9,750,000 common shares of Northern of which 7,312,500 remain subject to an escrow agreement imposed by Canadian securities laws and the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) as part of Northern’s initial public offering. The escrowed shares are being released in equal tranches of 1,462,500 shares every six months from the date that Northern became listed on the TSXV, being April 20, 2011. The terms of the escrow provide for the early release of the shares to permit their distribution to Mindesta’s shareholders, subject to TSXV approval. The Company has applied to the TSXV for the early release of the shares from escrow to facilitate this distribution but has not yet received approval. The Company will set a record date for shareholders entitled to receive the special dividend shortly after TSXV approval is received. Subject to the satisfactory review of all legal and tax issues, it is contemplated Mindesta shareholders will receive one share of Northern share for every share of Mindesta held.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Unaudited

Overview

Mindesta Inc. (“Mindesta” or "the Company"), a Delaware Corporation, was incorporated on November 6, 1996 under the name Winchester Mining Corp. The name of the Company was changed to PNW Capital, Inc. on May 16, 2000. In 2002, PNW Capital, Inc. acquired Industrial Minerals Incorporated, a private Nevada Corporation, and changed its name to Industrial Minerals, Inc. Effective July 26, 2011, the Company adopted the new name of “Mindesta Inc.”. In conjunction with this action, the Company consolidated its stock on a 20:1 basis.

The Company is an exploration stage company. The Company’s sole asset and entire focus has been its 26.2% interest in Northern Graphite Corporation (“Northern”). Northern holds a 100% interest in a number of mineral claims and a mining lease covering a deposit of natural graphite located in Maria Township, approximately 180 miles northeast of Toronto, Ontario and near the town of Bissett Creek (the “Bissett Creek Property”). The Bissett Creek Property is subject to a C$20 per ton royalty on graphite concentrate produced which includes an annual advance royalty C$27,000. A 2.5% net smelter return royalty is payable with respect to any other minerals produced from the Bissett Creek Property.

The Bissett Creek Property was on care and maintenance from 2005 to 2010. In the latter part of 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010 Northern raised its own financing which had the effect of reducing the Company’s interest in Northern from 100% to approximately 51%. The Company’s interest has since been reduced to 26.2% as the result of it selling 2,000,000 Northern shares and of Northern completing an initial public offering of shares, becoming listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, and subsequent warrant exercises. These transactions have enabled the Company and Northern to deal with the serious debt and creditor issues that existed in 2009 and to move the Bissett Creek Property forward. Northern initiated the environmental and mine permitting process, metallurgical testing, infill and exploration drilling and a bankable Feasibility Study, and completed exploration and infill drilling, with the objective of being in a position to make a construction decision, subject to financing and the receipt of all regulatory approvals, in the first part of 2012.

From 2004 until late 2009 the Company experienced serious financial difficulties and went through many changes to the Board and management. Chris Crupi, CA and Gregory Bowes, MBA, were appointed directors of the Company and Mr. Robert Dinning, CA was appointed President and CEO on June 23, 2008. Mr. Robert Dinning CA continued as a director and was also reappointed CFO effective June 23, 2008. In May 2009, Gregory Bowes was appointed as CEO of Northern. Robert Dinning resigned as a director and CFO of Northern effective April 1, 2010 and resigned as a director, CEO and CFO of the Company effective May 10, 2010. Miles Nagamatsu CA was appointed CFO of Northern on April 1, 2010 and Gregory Bowes was appointed CEO and CFO of the Company effective May 10, 2010. Cam Birge was appointed a director to replace Mr. Dinning, on June 3, 2010. Chris Crupi resigned as a director effective August 18, 2010. On April 19, 2011, Douglas Perkins joined the Board of Directors and was appointed Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Under the mandate of the restructured Board of Directors, the Company significantly reduced its monthly operating expenses and focused its efforts on settling payables, reducing debt, raising financing and developing a plan to move the Bissett Creek Property forward.

In late 2009 and the first part of 2010, Northern completed a number of non-brokered private placement financings and issued 10,755,571 common shares and 10,755,571 common share purchase warrants and realized gross proceeds of C$2,431,750. In addition, Northern issued 431,354 common shares and 400,000 common share purchase warrants as part of debt settlement agreements with a number of creditors.

On May 11, 2010, Northern entered into an agency agreement with respect to a proposed initial public offering (“IPO”) of a minimum of 2,000,000 common shares and a maximum offering of 6,000,000 common shares at an issue price of CDN$0.50 per common share for gross proceeds of CDN$1,000,000 and CDN$3,000,000 respectively. On September 10, 2010 Northern filed a Preliminary Prospectus with securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia with respect to the proposed IPO.

In January of 2011, the Company sold 2,000,000 common shares of Northern for CDN $0.50 per share and realized gross proceeds of CDN $1,000,000 in order to finance both companies during the period that Northern’s IPO was delayed due to the CTO.

On April 18, 2011 Northern announced that it had closed its IPO and issued the maximum of 8,000,000 common shares that were qualified for distribution under its final prospectus dated April 7, 2011 at a price of CDN$0.50 per share for gross proceeds of CDN $4,000,000. Northern began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer on April 20, 2011 under the trading symbol “NGC”.

F13

The Company recognizes that Northern will require substantial additional capital in the future to continue the development of the Bissett Creek Project. While the Company is optimistic such capital can be obtained, there is no assurance that it will be available or available on terms that are attractive to the Company.

On November 9, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to distribute the common shares of Northern that the Company owns to the Company's shareholders. The Company owns 9,750,000 common shares of Northern of which 7,312,500 remain subject to an escrow agreement imposed by Canadian securities laws and the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) as part of Northern’s initial public offering. The escrowed shares are being released in equal tranches of 1,462,500 shares every six months from the date that Northern became listed on the TSXV, being April 20, 2011. The terms of the escrow provide for the early release of the shares to permit their distribution to Mindesta’s shareholders, subject to TSXV approval. The Company has applied to the TSXV for the early release of the shares from escrow to facilitate this distribution but has not yet received approval. The Company will set a record date for shareholders entitled to receive the special dividend shortly after TSXV approval is received. Subject to the satisfactory review of all legal and tax issues, it is contemplated Mindesta shareholders will receive one share of Northern share for every share of Mindesta held.

Nature of Operations

Effective February 22, 2011 the Company and Northern filed an amended and restated technical report with respect to the Bissett Creek Project, prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).

Northern’s sole focus is the potential development of the Bissett Creek Project. Northern has no other properties or rights to acquire other properties. Northern expects to complete a full bankable feasibility study (“FS”) for the Bissett Creek Project by the end of 2011. The environmental and mine permitting process is expected to be completed early in 2012 at which time Northern will be in a position to begin construction of a mine on the Bissett Creek Project, subject to positive results from the FS and the availability of capital to build a mine.

Don Baxter P.Eng is Northern’s qualified person as that term is defined within National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for and supervises all technical aspects of the Bissett Creek Project and the disclosure related thereto.

The Bissett Creek Project

Northern holds a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek Project, which contains a large crystal, flake graphite deposit that is approximately 15 km from the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 17) and 53 kilometres east of Mattawa, Ontario, Canada. The Bissett Creek Project is located in the United Townships of Head, Clara and Maria, in the County of Renfrew, Province of Ontario, approximately 300 km north-northeast of Toronto, Canada.

The Bissett Creek Project consists of a Mining Lease, being Ontario mining lease number 106693 issued in 1993 for 21 years covering 564.6 hectares, and Mining Claims, covering 2,424 hectares for a total land coverage of 2,989 hectares with the well explored area being less than 100 hectares.

Royalties on the Bissett Creek Project include an annual advance payment of $27,000 to the three original prospectors that discovered the deposit which will be credited against a royalty of $20 per ton of concentrate on net sales once the mine is operational, and a 2.5% NSR on any other minerals derived from the Bissett Creek Property.

The Bissett Creek Project was extensively explored in the 1980’s and over 8,400 metres of drilling was carried out. A full feasibility study was completed, including the calculation of a proven and probable reserve, but the Bissett Creek Project was not developed due to a subsequent decline in graphite prices. The feasibility study and reserve estimate pre-date NI 43-101 and are non-compliant. While historical information is presented for information purposes only and cannot be relied upon from a regulatory perspective, it represents a substantial body of work that has a great deal value in the FS process. The price of graphite has almost tripled since 2005 due to the ongoing industrialization of emerging economies which has led to demand growth in traditional steel and automotive markets. In addition, lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and new nuclear technologies are all large users of graphite and have the potential to create substantial additional demand growth in the future. As a result, there is renewed interest in graphite projects.

In May 2007, the Company retained SGS Canada Inc., formerly and then named Systèmes Geostat International Inc. (“SGS”), to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Bissett Creek Project. In 2010 SGS updated their 2007 work and produced a technical report (the “Technical Report”) entitled “Technical Report Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Bissett Creek Graphite Property of Industrial Minerals, Inc. & Northern Graphite Corporation” dated July 16, 2010 and revised February 2, 2011. It was prepared by Gilbert Rousseau P.Eng and Claude Duplessis P.Eng of SGS, each of whom is an independent Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The Technical Report is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

F14

Prospective investors should be aware that certain historical technical disclosure regarding the Bissett Creek Project by Mindesta did not comply with NI 43-101 and should not be relied upon. Prospective investors should rely only on the information contained in the Company’s Annual Information Form and the Technical Report.

The preliminary assessment in the Technical Report covers the technical and financial aspects of the Bissett Creek Project, including the construction and operation of milling facilities capable of processing 870,000 tonnes per year of graphite bearing rock. Annual production should be in the range of 18,500 tonnes of graphitic flakes, spread more or less in the three following size ranges: 30% +35mesh, 40% -35 to +48 mesh and 30% -48 mesh.

SGS’s conclusion is that development of the Bissett Creek deposit appears to be economically attractive. A discount rate of 10% yields a NPV of approximately $77.6 million, and a corresponding projected IRR of approximately 24% before taxes based on a $62.9 million capital expenditure requirement. The payback period in the base case is six years.

This preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. As well, there is no certainty that the results of this preliminary assessment will be realized by Northern.

Exploration and Development

Northern began to implement the recommended work program in the Technical Report in July, 2010 and has completed a 2,900m drilling program at a cost of approximately $536,000 and has spent approximately $163,290 on metallurgical testing, $557,811on the bankable Feasibility Study and $592,122 on environmental and permitting. In addition, Northern has spent in excess of $240,928 on hydrogeological drilling, an airborne topographical survey and a geophysical survey. Over the next 6 months, Northern expects to spend approximately $1.8 million to complete the FS, environmental and mine permitting work, and a pilot plant test to refine the flowsheet and provide test product for potential customers.

Northern has retained G Mining to complete the FS. Consultants that were working on a PFS will continue to fulfill their mandate as part of the FS. SGS Canada Inc. - Geostat has prepared a new resource calculation that will form the basis for a new mine plan, SGS Mineral Services (Lakefield) is confirming previous metallurgical work and finalizing the mill flow sheet, Knight Piesold Ltd. is completing environmental and mine permitting and designing the tailings facility, and Met-Chem Canada Inc. is responsible for mill layout and design.

Mineral Resources

In September, 2011 Northern announced a significant increase in estimated resources based on the results from the 51 hole, 2,927 meter drilling program. The updated base case mineral resource for the Bissett Creek Project, using a cut off of 0.986% graphitic carbon (“Cg”), now totals 25,983,000 tonnes grading 1.81% Cg in the indicated category (470,300 tonnes of contained graphite) while inferred resources total 55,038,000 tonnes grading 1.57% Cg (864,100 tonnes of contained graphite). Grades are minable and diluted. In order to establish a reasonable prospect of economic extraction in an open-pit context, mineral resources were limited to an optimized whittle pit shell using an average graphite price of US$2,000 per tonne and operating and capital costs were updated from the Technical Report. (Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability)

The new resource represents a 44% increase in contained graphite within the indicated category and a 117% increase in contained graphite within the inferred category over undiluted resources previously reported which used an average price of US$1,700/tonne and a base case cut off of 1.5% . The 1% cut off used in the new base case is now more appropriate given higher graphite prices. The deposit remains open along strike to the north and south, and down dip to the east. The drilling program and resource estimate confirm that near surface graphite mineralization exists in an area that is now over one square kilometer in size. The deposit is also flat and tabular with good continuity between holes and there is a high probability that inferred resources can be upgraded with additional drilling. The waste to ore ratio for the new resource is 0.27.

Bissett Creek Flake Graphite Deposit 2011
Updated Mineral Resources (Diluted)

Relative density 2.63t/m3, 10% dilution, 90% mine recovery, *rounded to nearest 1k, **rounded to nearest .1k

The new mineral resource estimate was prepared by François Thibert, M.Sc. P. Geo. from SGS Canada Inc. (Geostat), independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101, using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines.

The mineral resources were estimated using analytical data from 50 recent surface drill holes and 162 historical surface drill holes for which 2,745 samples were assayed for Cg using the LECO analytical method. The deposit was historically drilled on an approximately 64m x 46m drill pattern with one area drilled on a 25m x 25m grid. Recent drilling was carried out on a wider 100m x 100m grid. Interpretation on 25m spaced N68º sections and modeling of a 3D wireframe envelope was completed to outline the mineralized graphitic horizon. A block model of 10 m (E-W) by 10 m (N-S) by 6 m (vertical) was interpolated using geostatistical methods (ordinary kriging) within the mineralized envelope. It covers a strike length of approximately 1,300m and it reaches a maximal depth of 100m below surface. Spatial continuity of the Cg composites was assessed by variography and it showed good continuity of grade in almost all directions within the horizontal plane but very limited continuity within the vertical plane. An anisotropic search ellipsoid was selected for the grade interpolation process based on the analysis of the spatial continuity of Cg composites. 6m bench composites were used to reflect an assumed bench height of 6m. No capping was applied to composites Cg grades.

Recent Developments and Future Plans

In September, 2011 Northern announced that metallurgical testing on its Bissett Creek Project has indicated that almost 50% of the graphite concentrate produced will be jumbo size, +48 mesh flake with a very high carbon content averaging 98%. This is an exceptional product that will attract a premium price based on both flake size and carbon content. Testing also confirmed results from the extensive historical testing, bulk sampling and pilot plant work that was carried out in the past and has validated the performance of the new flow sheet that will form the basis for the bankable Feasibility Study (“FS”) currently underway.

SGS Metallurgical Services (Lakefield) performed Locked Cycle Testing on composite material taken from drill core samples across the deposit. The test produced six final concentrates which showed consistent flake size distribution and carbon grade. The overall concentrate grade averaged 95%C. A concentrate which grades 94%C and has a flake size distribution of 80% greater than +80 mesh is the industry standard premium product. Current prices are $2,500 to 3,000 per tonne and almost all Bissett Creek production meets this specification as the final concentrates averaged over 70%, +80 mesh. Approximately 6% of the concentrate was +100 mesh and 12% was +200 mesh, both with high carbon content. Less than 10% was very small, -200 mesh flake and powder with a carbon content in the low 80s.

Most significantly, almost 50% of the graphite concentrate produced was jumbo size, +48 mesh flake which averaged 98%C with one value as high as 99.2%C. Test work at SGS has been ongoing for the past year and will culminate in a pilot plant program that is just starting. Results should be available within five to six weeks. The pilot plant is designed to further confirm the flow sheet being incorporated into the FS and will optimize its operating parameters. The overall carbon recovery in the locked cycle tests was 92.2% and the Company’s objective is to increase it to 94 to 95% without degradation of flake size.

On October 6, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a revolving loan agreement between Mindesta Inc., as the lender, and Nubian Gold Corporation (“Nubian”), as the borrower, to fund the ongoing exploration activities of Nubian in anticipation of the companies negotiating and entering into a property option agreement with respect to Nubian’s two exploration licenses, Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar, located in the Republic of Somaliland. Nubian is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes, CEO, is its major shareholder. Mr. Bowes declared his conflict of interest to the Board of Directors and abstained from voting on the consent resolution approving the revolving loan agreement. Under the revolving loan agreement, all amounts due from Nubian to the Company will be provided under a $100,000 credit facility which is repayable upon the earlier of one year from the date of the agreement or the signing of a property option agreement. If the revolving loan agreement becomes repayable upon the signing of a property option agreement, all obligations of Nubian shall be applied against the expenditure requirements of the Company under the property option agreement, the obligations shall be considered paid in full, and the revolving loan agreement will terminate and will have no further force or effect. Advances under the facility bear interest from October 6, 2011 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent, payable annually, or earlier at anytime that the advances are repaid in full. As of November 10, 2011, Nubian has received advances of $44,692 under this revolving loan agreement.

F16

On November 9, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to distribute the common shares of Northern that the Company owns to the Company's shareholders. The Company owns 9,750,000 common shares of Northern of which 7,312,500 remain subject to an escrow agreement imposed by Canadian securities laws and the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) as part of Northern’s initial public offering. The escrowed shares are being released in equal tranches of 1,462,500 shares every six months from the date that Northern became listed on the TSXV, being April 20, 2011. The terms of the escrow provide for the early release of the shares to permit their distribution to Mindesta’s shareholders, subject to TSXV approval. The Company has applied to the TSXV for the early release of the shares from escrow to facilitate this distribution but has not yet received approval. The Company will set a record date for shareholders entitled to receive the special dividend shortly after TSXV approval is received. Subject to the satisfactory review of all legal and tax issues, it is contemplated Mindesta shareholders will receive one share of Northern share for every share of Mindesta held.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a net gain attributable to the Company of $4,168,372, or $0.47 per share, compared to a net loss of $583,366 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or $0.07 per share. This net gain during the nine months ending September 30, 2011 resulted from the Company recognizing a gain of $6,035,839 on the deconsolidation of its investment holdings. This gain was due to the sale of 2,000,000 shares of Northern and the resultant decline in the Company’s interest below 50% which made it necessary for the Company to change its accounting treatment for the investment. The Company had no revenues for the period ended September 30 in both 2011 and 2010 as the Company is an exploration stage company with no source of revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, expenses amounted to $571,048 compared to $1,510,281 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. There were higher expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as the Company consolidated the results of Northern during this period. The Company accrued $175,373 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 for potential penalties related to the late filing of prior years’ tax returns. Management fees and salaries declined to $174,492 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $270,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of Northern in 2011. Management fees and salaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included stock-based compensation of $155,396, compared to $154,408 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Professional fees increased to $131,590 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $113,394 in 2010 as a result of additional fees related to the Company’s Annual General Meeting and the filing of tax returns.

The Company currently has no full time employees and contracts with consultants for other services.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash as at September 30, 2011 of $701,617 versus $46,191 as at December 31, 2010 due to the sale of Northern shares and the repayment by Northern of the intercompany revolving loan during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011. On January 2, 2011, the Company sold 2,000,000 common shares of Northern for CDN $0.50 per share and realized total proceeds of CDN$1,000,000. The Company used these funds to support Northern and keep work going on the Bissett Creek Property pending the completion of Northern’s IPO.

In 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 Northern raised C$600,000 in a non-brokered financing with various lenders, including a director of the Company, of senior secured convertible non-interest bearing notes (the “Notes”). In the first quarter of 2010 the Notes were converted to units of Northern pursuant to their terms and the completion of the private placements described herein, and all security interests were released.

On February 15, 2010 a lender agreed to a settlement of C$95,000 in cash plus 160,000 units of Northern as per the private placement terms described below, in settlement of loans payable plus accrued interest. On February 15, 2010, the Company settled a loan payable of $161,000 through the issuance of a $150,000 non-interest bearing note with a term of one year. In addition, the lender received a cash payment of C$35,000 on other loans due plus 140,000 units of Northern as per the private placement terms. In February of 2011, the $150,000 loan was extended for one year at an interest rate of 10% and was repayable in the event that Northern completed an IPO of at least CDN $2,000,000. Following Northern’s IPO, Northern repaid this loan with related interest in April of 2011. Another loan payable of US$105,072 (C$110,000) plus accrued interest was settled through the payment of C$125,000 (US$119,400) plus the issuance of 100,000 units of Northern as per the private placement terms.

F17

An outstanding loan of $385,665 was settled through the issuance of 54,580 shares of the Company in the second quarter of 2010. In the second quarter the Company also agreed to settle $83,195 in payables through the issuance of 75,000 common shares. These shares were issued subsequent to the end of the quarter.

In March, 2010, Northern completed a number of non-brokered private placement financings consisting of the issuance of 7,327,000 units at a price of C$0.25 per unit, each unit being comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of C$0.35 per share for a period of 18 months from the date upon which Northern or its successor becomes a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada. Gross proceeds were C$1,831,750. At that time, the Notes, pursuant to their terms, automatically converted into 3,428,571 units upon the closing of the private placement at a conversion price of $0.175 per unit, each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of C$0.245 per share for a period of 18 months from the date upon which Northern or its successor becomes a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada. In addition, Northern issued 400,000 units, with the same terms, as part of debt settlement agreements with three creditors. In the second quarter of 2010 Northern issued an additional 31,354 common shares to settle claims against the Company.

As a result of the private placements, the conversion of the Notes and the debt settlements, Northern issued a total of 11,186,925 common shares, and 11,155,571 common share purchase warrants, and has 37,148,340 common shares outstanding as at November 10, 2011. The Company owns 9,750,000 common shares of Northern which represents a 26.2% interest as at November 10, 2011. If all warrants were exercised Northern would receive an additional C$ $1,818,599 and the Company’s interest in Northern would be 22.9% as at November 10, 2011.

As at December 31^st, 2010, the Financial Statements included a long-term deposit that Northern has with the Ministry of Finance for the Province of Ontario to ensure that enough funds are available to affect the proper reclamation and closure of the Bissett Creek Property. Northern’s initial deposit in 2004 amounted to C$288,363 and since that time accrued interest had increased the deposit to $316,219 as at December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the Company no longer consolidates the operations of Northern and therefore, no longer includes the long-term deposit in the Financial Statements.

Effective March 1st, 2011, the Company and Northern entered an intercompany revolving loan agreement whereby all amounts due from Northern to the Company would be provided under a $600,000 credit facility. It was repayable in two years, unless an IPO of at least $3,000,000 was completed by Northern before such date. In this case, the Company could demand repayment immediately. The credit facility bore interest from March 1st, 2011 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent which was payable annually, or earlier at anytime that the credit facility was repaid in full. As at March 31, 2011, Northern had borrowed $506,734 from the Company under the terms of their intercompany revolving loan agreement. Upon Northern having completed its IPO, this debt and the related interest were settled as at April 26th, 2011.

Although the Company currently has no revenue sources, the funding raised by the Company through the sale of shares of Northern, is sufficient to pay operating and administrative costs for the time being. In the future, the Company will require additional funding to continue operations and there is no assurance that such financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Going Concern Consideration

The Company’s auditors in their report for the year ended December 31, 2010 have expressed a concern that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company had a net gain attributable to the Company of $4,168,372 and a loss from operations of $571,048 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company’s net gain for this nine month period included a gain on deconsolidation of $6,035,839. The Company has had recurring losses and an accumulated deficit of $8,289,544 since inception. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital for operating and administrative costs. However, there is a high degree of risk and many inherent uncertainties in the natural resource development industry and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful.

As of January 7^th, 2011, the Company no longer had majority ownership of Northern. On April 18, 2011, Northern completed its IPO and closed the sale of 8,000,000 common shares at an issue price of CDN$0.50 per common share for gross proceeds of CDN$4,000,000. As at April 26th, 2011, the intercompany revolving loan agreement between Northern and the Company was settled. The Company is no longer raising capital for the support of Northern. The Company believes that it will continue to be able to raise additional funds from public or private debt or equity sources to continue to operate. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern the value of the Company’s assets may approach a level close to zero. Investors should be cautioned that should the Company cease to operate the Company may only recover a small fraction of the original costs of its assets should a liquidation of the Company’s assets occur. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result if the going concern assumption is not valid.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

IMI is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) – 15(e) and Rule 15(d) – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation and in light of the discussion of the material weakness discussed below in the Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, the CEO/CFO has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO/CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and implemented by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting includes an analysis under the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of the control environment by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the evaluation described above, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Management has determined that (i) the ability of management to override internal control systems, and (ii) the significant amount of manual intervention required in the accounting and financial reporting process are material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
