1.             Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations
 
Goldsands Development Company (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name “Crafty Admiral Enterprises, Ltd.” on 6 March 2000. On 9 March 2007, the Company changed their name to “Nordic Nickel Ltd.”. The Company changed their name pursuant to a parent/subsidiary merger between the Company (as Crafty Admiral Enterprises, Ltd.) and its wholly-owned non-operating subsidiary, Nordic Nickel Ltd., which was established for the purpose of giving effect to this name change. On 15 November 2007, the Company changed its name to “Constitution Mining Corp.”. The Company changed their name pursuant to a parent/subsidiary merger between the Company (as Nordic Nickel Ltd.) and its wholly-owned non-operating subsidiary, Constitution Mining Corp., which was established for the purpose of giving effect to this name change. On 21 October 2009, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware. On 31 March 2011, the Company changed their name pursuant to parent/subsidiary merger between the Company (as Constitution Mining Corp.) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Goldsands Development Company, which was established for the purpose of giving effect to this name change. The Company is in the exploration stage as its operations principally involve the examination and investigation of land that may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent.
 
The Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 December.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Constitution Mining Argentina SA, a company incorporated under the laws of Argentina, and Bacon Hill Invest Inc. (“Bacon Hill”), a company incorporated under the law of Panama.
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2011 and for the nine month period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company had a loss of $6,829,910 for the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 (30 September 2010 – $8,850,561) and has working capital deficit of $1,848,166 at 30 September 2011 (31 December 2010 – $3,165,504).
 
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ending 31 December 2011.  However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Although management is currently implementing its business plan, and seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing and or a partner, there is no assurance these activities will be successful.  This raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
2.            Changes in Accounting Policies
 
On 1 January 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, “Business Combination (Topic 805)”, which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  The amendments of ASU No. 2010-29 also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU No. 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on of after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 15 December 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-29 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
 
On 1 January 2011, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
 
On 1 January 2011, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
 
3.             Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial instruments
 
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and amounts due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s operations are in the U.S. and Peru and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
Derivative financial instruments
 
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
 
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.  In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Comprehensive loss
 
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As at 30 September 2011, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.

Mineral property costs
 
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
 
As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
 
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
 
Website development costs
 
The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred.  The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.
 
Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.
 
Segments of an enterprise and related information
 
ASC 280, “Segment Reportingestablishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.

Start-up expenses
 
The Company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.  Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s expenses for the period from the date of inception on 6 March 2000 to 30 September 2011.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Equipment
 
Equipment is recorded at cost and amortization is provided over its estimated economic life at 30% or on a straight line basis over its economic life.
 
Comparative figures
 
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
Effective 1 January 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to 1 January 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.  Adoption of ASC 718 does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.

Convertible debt
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash.  The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” requires the liability and equity components to be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  The Company will allocate a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes between a liability and equity component by determining the fair value of the liability component using the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  The difference between the proceeds of the notes and the fair value of the liability component will be recorded as a discount on the debt with a corresponding offset to paid-in capital.  The resulting discount will be accreted by recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method.  The new guidance was to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon those fiscal years.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Consolidation
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.  SFAS No. 167, which amends ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and eliminates the quantitative model.  The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE.  SFAS No. 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE.  A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE.  SFAS No. 167, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative.  SFAS No. 167 was effective 1 January 2010.  The adoption of SFAS No. 167 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”.  This update presents an entity with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. As ASU 2011-05 relates only to the presentation of Comprehensive Income, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement” to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.  This ASU limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts.  Additionally, this update expands the disclosure on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs.  ASU No. 2011-04 is to be applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after 15 December 2011.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

7.            Mineral Property Costs
 
Peruvian Gold Sands – Minera Maranon
 
On 29 September 2008, the Company entered into a Mineral Right option agreement with Temasek Investments Inc. (“Temasek”) to acquire mining properties totalling 382 km2 in Northeastern Peru (the “Peruvian Agreement”).  Pursuant to this Peruvian Agreement, the Company acquired four separate options from Temasek, each providing for the acquisition of a 25% interest in certain mining properties (the “Peruvian Gold Sands”).  The Peruvian Gold Sands are owned by Minera Maranon S.A.C (“Maranon”).  Bacon Hill, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, owns 999 shares of 1,000 shares of Maranon that are issued and outstanding.  Temasek owns the single remaining share of Maranon.  The acquisition of each 25% interest in the Peruvian Gold Sands will occur through the transfer to the Company of 25% of the outstanding shares of Bacon Hill.
 
The Company may exercise the initial 25% option by fulfilling the following conditions:
 
a.  Pay a non-refundable $375,000 on the date the Peruvian Agreement is executed (paid);
b.  Issue 2,000,000 common shares within 5 business days (issued and valued at $1.01 per common share) ; and
c.  Pay an additional $375,000 prior to 28 December 2008 (paid).
 
The Company entered into an amending agreement dated 12 May 2009 (the “Peruvian Amendment”) and a second amending agreement dated 29 October 2009 (the “Second Peruvian Amendment”) with Temasek.  Under the Second Peruvian Amendment, the Company may now exercise the second 25% option resulting in the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Mineral Rights by fulfilling the following conditions as set out in the Second Peruvian Amendment:
 
a.  Exercise and complete the initial 25% option by 29 March 2009 (completed);
b.  Issue an additional 2,000,000 common shares by 29 March 2009 (issued and valued at $0.65 per common  
     share) (Notes 11 and 16);
c.  Pay an additional $750,000 by 29 October 2009 or as soon as practicable thereafter (paid); and
d.  Issue an additional 500,000 common shares by 29 October 2009 or as soon as practicable thereafter (issued   
     and valued at $1.18 per common share) (Notes 11 and 16).

c.     Issue a convertible note in the principal amount of $7,000,000 maturing on 8 April 2013 and bearing   interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable annually, with principal payable upon maturity (the “Convertible Note”).  Any interest and principal due under the Convertible Note is convertible (at Temasek's option) into units which consist of one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share.  The conversion price per unit is fixed at $0.80 per unit (issued 8 April 2010) (Notes 11, 13 and 16).
 
The property is subject to a 2.5% net returns royalty that the Company can reduce to 1.0% upon payment of a further $2,000,000 within 90 days of the exercise and completion of the final 25% option.
 
During the year ended 31 December 2010, the Company recorded a provision for write-down of mineral property costs of $17,340,369 related to the Peruvian Gold Sands (Note 16).
 
On 18 January 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Swiss Agreement”) with Swiss Mining S.A., a limited liability company organized and incorporated under the laws of Peru (“Swiss Mining”).  Pursuant to the Swiss Agreement, Swiss Mining will carry out a test mining operation on the Company’s Peruvian properties.  The test mining operation commenced on 28 March 2011 and was performed at Swiss Mining’s own cost which was expected to be $425,000. All net returns, based on the gold price ranging from $1,300 to $1,500 per ounce, shall first be allocated 30% to the Company and 70% to Swiss Mining until the above mentioned costs of $425,000 is fully covered. Thereafter all revenues from the sale or disposition of ores shall be allocated between the Company and Swiss Mining on a 50/50 basis. The term of the Swiss Agreement shall be 6 months or for so long thereafter as minerals are produced from the Peruvian properties on a continuous basis.
 
During the nine month period ended 30 September 2011, Swiss Mining S.A. terminated the test mining operations and the Company recorded incidental extracted gold receivable of $43,444 related to the Swiss Mining Agreement (Note 4).
 
Expenditures related to the Peruvian Gold Sands for the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 consist of business development and project generation of $142,433 (30 September 2010 – $216,845, cumulative – $359,497), camp costs and field supplies of $37,371 (30 September 2010 – $78,927, cumulative – $131,131), drilling of $Nil (30 September 2010 – $123,522, cumulative – $268,816), mapping of  $Nil (30 September 2010 – $Nil, cumulative – $349), rental of $15,898 (30 September 2010 – $11,557, cumulative – $77,505), recovery of expenditures of $43,444 (30 September 2010 - $Nil, cumulative - $43,444), sampling of $Nil (30 September 2010 – $Nil, cumulative – $14,411), taxes and permitting of $Nil (30 September 2010 – $121,009, cumulative – $162,981), transportation and fuel of $93,079 (30 September 2010 – $488,034, cumulative – $990,609), and wages, consulting and management fees of $457,188 (30 September 2010 – $1,312,052, cumulative – $3,371,488).

Seabridge Gold Claims
 
Effective 2 December 2009, the Company entered into a written Letter of Intent with Seabridge Gold Inc. (“Seabridge”) for the exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in certain mining claims and leasehold interests in Nevada (the “Seabridge Claims”). The Company had until 15 March 2010 to conduct its due diligence (completed) and then, to proceed to enter into a more formal option agreement with Seabridge. Until then, the Letter of Intent remains binding between the parties.
 
Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, in order to exercise the Seabridge Claims, the Company, upon signing of the Letter of Intent, must pay Seabridge $200,000 (paid), which will be credited against the $1,000,000 payable as defined below.
 
Upon completion of the transfer of title to the Seabridge Claims scheduled for 31 March 2010 (the “Closing Date”) or as soon as possible thereafter, the Company must:
 
a.     Pay $1,000,000 ($200,000 paid upon signing the Letter of Intent and $25,000 paid on 26 August 2010);
b.     Issue 1,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company;
c.     Issue a secured promissory note  in the principal amount of $1,000,000 bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable in full on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date and secured by the Seabridge Claims; and
d.     Issue a transferable convertible secured debenture in the principal amount of $1,000,000 maturing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date and bearing interest at a rate of 8% per year, payable quarterly, with principal and accrued interest convertible by Seabridge within 30 days of maturity into one share of common stock at $1.00 per share, redeemable in full, not in part, by the Company at any time upon payment of 125% of the principal and accrued interest outstanding at the time of security redemption.
 
Further, under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the Company must pay $1,000,000 and issue 2,000,000 restricted common shares, which will be held in escrow and released 36 months following issuance on or before 30 April 2010.
 
If the payment of $1,000,000 and the issuance of 2,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company, required on or before 30 April 2010, is not completed by 1 May 2010, the Company will then have to transfer all the Seabridge Claims back to Seabridge.
 
On 1 April 2010, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Seabridge (the “Seabridge Agreement”). This Seabridge Agreement replaces the Letter of Intent.

17.      Fair Value of  Financial Instruments

A fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The fair values of the financial instruments were determined using the following input levels and valuation techniques:

Level 1:
classification is applied to any asset or liability that has a readily available quoted market price from an active market where there is significant transparency in the executed/quoted price.
Level 2:
classification is applied to assets and liabilities that have evaluated prices where the data inputs to these valuations are observable either directly or indirectly, but do not represent quoted market prices from an active market.
Level 3:
classification is applied to assets and liabilities when prices are not derived from existing market data and requires us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.
 
As at 30 September 2011, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivables, accounts payable and amounts due to related parties approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

During the year ended 31 December 2010, the Company estimated the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Note at inception using both the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.46%, expected life of 1 year, expected volatility of 114% and expected dividends of 0%.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was estimated at $5,862,500, and was recorded as a component of equity, of which $2,100,000 would be a Level 1 fair value and $3,762,500 would be a Level 2 fair value.

During the nine month period ended 30 September 2011, the Company estimated the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Second Convertible Promissory Note at inception using both the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.10%, expected life of 1.11 years, expected volatility of 152% and expected dividends of 0%.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was estimated at $30,000, and was recorded as a component of equity, of which $17,500 would be a Level 1 fair value and $12,500 would be a Level 2 fair value.

During the nine month period ended 30 September 2011, the Company estimated the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Third Convertible Promissory Note at inception using both the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.13%, expected life of 1.08 years, expected volatility of 155% and expected dividends of 0%.  The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was estimated at $20,000, and was recorded as a component of equity, of which $12,308 would be a Level 1 fair value and $7,692 would be a Level 2 fair value.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. The Company manages its credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by dealing only with highly-rated US financial institutions.  As at 30 September 2011, amounts receivable was comprised of Value Added Tax receivable in Peru of $127,612 (31 December 2010 – $103,054) and other receivables of $43,444 (31 December 2010 – $7,656).  As a result, credit risk is considered insignificant.

Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on its acquisition and exploration expenditures on its Peru properties since it has to convert US dollars raised through equity financing in US dollars to Peruvian Soles.  The Company’s expenditures will be negatively impacted if the Peruvian Soles increases versus the US dollar.

The majority of the Company’s cash flows and financial assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.  Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the US dollar.

The Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash flow and balance sheet exposures and from time to time could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities.

Other Risks

Unless otherwise noted, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

18.          Commitments

The Company is subject to certain outstanding and future commitments related to its mineral property interests (Note 7).

19.          Contingencies

a.     On 30 March 2011, the Company received a formal order of investigation issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding possible violations of the securities laws by the Company, its officers, its directors and/or its employees, including securities registration requirements, financial reporting and/or market manipulation.  The Company has utilized the services of a third-party vendor who was named in the subpoena received by the Company from the SEC.  The Company is in the process of conducting an internal investigation in this matter and has been cooperating fully, and intends to cooperate fully, with the SEC. 

In the event the SEC investigation leads to action against any of the current or former directors, officers, or the Company itself, the trading price of the Company’s common shares may be adversely impacted.  In addition, the SEC investigation may result in the incurrence of significant legal expense, both directly and as the result of any indemnification obligations.  This investigation may also divert management’s attention from the operations which may cause the business to suffer.  If the Company is subject to any adverse findings, it could be required to pay damages or penalties or have other remedies imposed on the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the business.  The Company has no insurance coverage to cover any portion of the defense cost or any amounts that the Company may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of this investigation.

The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the SEC investigation at this time.  An estimate of the possible loss related to this matter cannot be made and, as a result, no liability has been accrued as at 30 September 2011.

b.     Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at 30 September 2011 is $75,000 (31 December 2010 – $75,000) related to a legal claim for the Amira Property (Notes 7 and 8).

c.     In April 2011, the Company received a formal claim from a vendor of the Company for $27,070 plus interest and court costs related to a lease agreement and services rendered to the Company.  As at 30 September 2011, a total of $27,070 (31 December 2010 – $27,070) was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the Company (Note 8).

20.           Business Acquisition
In October 2009, the Company acquired 50% interest in Bacon Hill, the registered owner of 999 shares of the 1,000 shares of Maranon that are issued and outstanding.  Maranon is the beneficial owner of 100% interest in the Peruvian Gold Sands (Note 7).  The aggregate purchase price was $5,410,000 paid by $1,500,000 in cash and 4,500,000 common shares of the Company valued at $3,910,000 (Notes 7, 11 and 16). The acquisition of Bacon Hill expands the Company’s business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties.

During the year 31 December 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Bacon Hill from the non-controlling interest.  The aggregate purchase price was $14,560,000 paid by $1,000,000 in cash, 6,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $6,560,000 and convertible promissory note in the amount of $7,000,000 (Notes 7, 11, 13 and 16).

21.          Subsequent Event

Subsequent to the nine month period ended 30 September 2011 to the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued on 14 November 2011, the following event occurred:
 
a.     In October 2011, the Company issued convertible promissory notes valued at $135,000. The principal balances bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum payable annually, with principal payable upon maturity on 31 October 2012.  The promissory notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into units which consist of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.  The conversion price per unit is fixed at $0.05 per unit for a term of one year.
 
b.    On 7 November 2011, the Company issued 13,200,000 stock options.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control.  Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  A wide variety of factor could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs.  There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate.
 
Important factors that may cause the actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements, projections or other expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
    
potential or pending investigations, proceedings or litigation that involves or affects us;
 
    
risk that we will not be able to remediate identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting;
 
    
risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms for our planned exploration and development projects;
 
    
risk that we fail to fulfill the payment obligations set forth in the agreement we entered into with Temasek Investments Inc. ("Temasek"), a company incorporated under the laws of Panama, under which we acquired three separate options, each providing for the acquisition of an approximately one-third interest in certain mineral rights to certain properties in Peru that abut the other property interests we acquire, which could result in the loss of our right to exercise the options to acquire the mineral and mining rights underlying these properties;
 
    
risk that we cannot attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly employees, consultants and contractors for our operations in Peru;
 
    
risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits;
 
    
results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations;
 
    
mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production;
 
    
the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies;
 
    
risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses;
 
    
risks related to commodity price fluctuations;
 
    
the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses;
 
    
risks related to environmental regulation and liability;
 
   
risks that the amounts reserved or allocated for environmental compliance, reclamation, post-closure control measures, monitoring and on-going maintenance may not be sufficient to cover such costs;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    
risks related to tax assessments;
 
    
political and regulatory risks associated with mining development and exploration; and
 
    
other risks and uncertainties related to our prospects, properties and business strategy.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  Except as required by law, we do not undertake to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “Goldsands Development,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Goldsands Development Company and our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
 
Overview
 
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada under the name Crafty Admiral Enterprises, Ltd. on March 6, 2000.  Our original business plan was to sell classic auto parts to classic auto owners worldwide through an Internet site and online store; however, we were unsuccessful in implementing the online store and were unable to afford the cost of purchasing, warehousing and shipping the initial inventory required to get the business started.  As a result, we ceased operations in approximately July 2002.
 
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we reorganized our operations to pursue the exploration, development, acquisition and operation of oil and gas properties.  On June 27, 2006, we acquired a leasehold interest in a mineral, oil and gas property located in St. Francis County, Arkansas for a cash payment of $642,006, pursuant to an oil and gas agreement we entered into on April 29, 2006 (the “Tombaugh Lease”).  Shortly after acquiring the Tombaugh Lease, we suspended our exploration efforts on the property covered by the Tombaugh Lease in order to pursue business opportunities developing nickel deposits in Finland, Norway and Western Russia.  On January 18, 2008, we assigned all of our right, title and interest in and to the Tombaugh Lease to Fayetteville Oil and Gas, Inc., which agreed to assume all of our outstanding payment obligations on the Tombaugh Lease as consideration for the assignment.  On March 9, 2007, we changed our name to better reflect our business to “Nordic Nickel Ltd.” pursuant to a parent/subsidiary merger with our wholly-owned non-operating subsidiary, Nordic Nickel Ltd., which was established for the purpose of giving effect to this name change.  We were not successful pursuing business opportunities developing nickel deposits in Finland, Norway and Western Russia and again sought to reorganize our operations in November 2007.
 
In November 2007, we reorganized our operations and changed our name to “Constitution Mining Corp.” to better reflect our current focus, which is the acquisition, exploration, and potential development of mining properties.  We entered into agreements to secure options to acquire the mineral and mining rights underlying properties located in the Salta and Mendoza provinces of Argentina (the “Argentinean Properties”) and in northeastern Peru.  In 2009, we determined that it was in our best interest to dispose of our interests in the Argentinean Properties and we are now pursuing exploration and development exclusively on our properties in Peru.
 
On October 21, 2009, we completed a reincorporation merger from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.
 
 
 
 
 
 
On February 24, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effectuate a merger whereby we merged with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Goldsands Development Company, through a parent/subsidiary merger, with us as the surviving corporation. This merger, which became effective at 11:59 p.m. on March 31, 2011 (the “Effective Time”) is pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Shareholder approval for this merger was not required under Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Upon the Effective Time of this merger, our name changed to “Goldsands Development Company”. We decided to change our corporate name in order to reflect management’s decision during the first quarter of 2011 to expand our business plan in order to pursue opportunities to consult on development projects in the same approximate geographical area as our property interest in Peru. As a result of our operations in Peru, we have gained significant experience and knowledge as to the local processes and procedures involved in the planning of development projects in Peru and we intend to leverage and market this expertise to other companies seeking to engage in development projects in Peru.  It is our belief that changing our corporate name will minimize public perception in marketing this expertise that we are strictly a company engaged in mineral exploration.
 
We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent.  There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of the properties underlying our mineral property interests, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined.  We have no known reserves of any type of mineral.  To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on any of the properties underlying our mineral property interests, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.  If we cannot acquire or locate mineral deposits, or if it is not economical to recover any mineral deposits that we do find, our business and operations will be materially and adversely affected.
 
The Peru Property
 
Our property interests located in Peru are in the exploration stage and we refer to these properties as the "Peru Property."  These properties are without known reserves and the proposed plan of exploration detailed below is exploratory in nature.  These properties are described below.
 
We entered into a Mineral Right Option Agreement with Temasek Investments Inc. (“Temasek”), a company incorporated under the laws of Panama, on September 29, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, dated May 12, 2009 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2, dated October 29, 2009 (“Amendment No. 2”), and Amendment No. 3, dated April 8, 2010 (“Amendment No. 3” and collectively, the “Option Agreement”), in order to acquire four separate options from Temasek, each providing for the acquisition of a twenty-five percent interest in certain mineral rights (the “Mineral Rights”) in certain properties in Peru,  that after each of the options were exercised would result in our acquisition of an aggregate one hundred percent of the Mineral Rights.

We exercised the initial twenty-five percent option, which provided for the acquisition of a twenty-five percent interest in the Mineral Rights, by paying Temasek a total of $750,000 and issuing 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek, on or about October 23, 2008 in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement.
 
We exercised the second twenty-five percent option, resulting in our acquisition of an aggregate of a fifty percent interest in the Mineral Rights, by paying Temasek an additional $750,000 and issuing an additional 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek, on or about November 2, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement.
 
 
 
 
 
 
On April 23, 2010, we announced that we completed the exercise of the third and fourth twenty-five percent options, resulting in our acquisition of an aggregate 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, by fulfilling the following conditions:
 
·    
Payment to Temasek of US$1,000,000;
 
·    
Issuance to Temasek of a total of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock (of which Temasek acknowledged that 2,000,000 shares were previously issued to Temasek in November 2009); and
 
·    
Issuance of a convertible note for US$7,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”) payable to the order and the direction of Temasek.
 
On January 24, 2011, $6,300,000 of the principal of the Convertible Note was extinguished and converted into units (the “Units”) using the conversion price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock (“Warrant”). Each Warrant was exercisable for a period of eight (8) months from the date of issuance at a price of $0.10 per share.  The $700,000 remaining principal of the Convertible Note outstanding has a term of three years and accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest under the Convertible Note is payable annually and the principal is payable upon maturity. Any interest and principal due under the Convertible Note is convertible (at Temasek's option) into units which consist of one (1) share of our common stock and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share.  The conversion price per unit is fixed at $0.80 per unit.
 
In connection with our acquisition of an aggregate 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek is entitled to an annual 2.5% net returns royalty related to the Mineral Rights.
 
The Mineral Rights are owned by Compañía Minera Marañón S.A.C. (“Minera Marañón”).  Bacon Hill Invest Inc. (“Bacon Hill”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Panama, owns 999 shares of the 1,000 shares of Minera Marañón that are issued and outstanding.  The single remaining share of Minera Marañón by Temasek as nominee and on trust for our exclusive and sole benefit and interest.  Temasek is obligated at all times to exercise all rights in respect of the share of Minera Marañón it holds strictly in accordance with our instructions.  The acquisition of 100% interest in the Mineral Rights occurred through the transfer by Temasek to us of beneficial ownership of all of the outstanding shares of Bacon Hill.
 
Expansion of Peru Property
 
On January 25, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Mineral Rights Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Temasek.  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, we acquired three separate options from Temasek, each providing for the acquisition of an approximately one-third interest in certain mineral rights (the “Mineral Rights”), in certain properties in Peru that abut the other property interests we own in Peru described above.  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the exercise of all three options would result in our acquisition of one hundred percent of the Mineral Rights.  The Mineral Rights are currently owned by Minera Saramiriza S.A.C. (“Minera Saramiriza”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Peru.  Woodburn Investments, Inc. (“Woodburn”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, owns 999 shares of the 1,000 shares of Minera Saramiriza that are issued and outstanding.  Temasek owns the single remaining share of Woodburn.  Our acquisition of each thirty-three percent interest in the Mineral Rights is structured to occur through the transfer to us of thirty-three percent of the outstanding shares of Woodburn upon the exercise of each of the three options.

We may exercise the initial option to acquire a thirty-three percent interest in the Mineral Rights by fulfilling the following conditions:
 
·    
Issuance of 500,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek within thirty (30) days from the Effective Date (issued March 19, 2010);

·    
Issuance of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek or its designee within twelve months of the Effective Date (issued January 27, 2011).
 
In the first quarter of 2011 we exercised the initial thirty-three percent option and acquired a thirty-three percent interest in the Mineral Rights by paying to Temasek the balance of the consideration required to exercise the initial thirty-three percent option.  Since the execution of the Option Agreement, we have satisfied the requirement to pay $250,000 by the issuance of 2,500,000 shares and warrants and have issued 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement.
 
We may exercise the second option to acquire the second, thirty-three percent interest in the Mineral Rights, resulting in the acquisition of a sixty-six percent interest in the Mineral Rights, by fulfilling the following conditions:
 
·    
Exercise of the initial option to acquire a thirty-three percent interest in the Mineral Rights;
 
·    
Payment of an additional $1,000,000 to Temasek within twenty-four months of the Effective Date (January 25, 2012); and
 
·    
Issuance of an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek or its designee within twenty-four months from the Effective Date (January 25, 2012).
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
We may exercise the third option to acquire the final, thirty-four percent interest in the Mineral Rights, resulting in the acquisition of a one-hundred percent interest in the Mineral Rights, by fulfilling the following conditions:
 
·    
Exercise of the first and second options to acquire an aggregate sixty-six percent interest in the Mineral Rights;
 
·    
Payment of an additional $2,000,000 to Temasek within thirty-six months of the Effective Date (January 25, 2013); and
 
·    
Issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to Temasek or its designee within thirty-six months from the Effective Date (January 25, 2013).
 
Upon our acquisition of a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek is entitled to an annual 2.5% net returns royalty.  However, if we pay Temasek an additional $2,000,000 within ninety (90) days of its acquisition of a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek will only be entitled to an annual 1.0% net returns royalty from us.
 
If we exercise the second, thirty-three percent option, resulting in the acquisition of a sixty-six percent interest in the Mineral Rights, but fail to exercise the final option and fail to acquire a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, we and Temasek will form a joint venture in which we will be wholly responsible for developing a feasible mining project and all necessary facilities and Temasek shall retain a carried free interest in the mining rights.  If we do not develop a feasible mining project within three years of the Effective Date, we will be required to pay Temasek an advance minimum mining royalty of $500,000 per year, which will be deducted from Temasek's net return royalty.
 
Exploration Program
 
Shortly after our initial acquisition of the property interests in Peru in September 2008, we commenced the initial stages of our exploration and development program and carried out the following activities:
 
·    
Completed an initial social base line study to document all surface rights owners and people resident in the project area;
 
·    
Implemented a community relations program to inform local communities of the project and what potential opportunities that may exist for community involvement in the implementation phases of the development program;
 
·    
Submitted a Declaración de Impacto Ambiental to the Ministry of Mines and Energy in Peru and received approval to start the exploration;
 
·    
Completed the field work for the Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental semidetallado which, if approved by the Peruvian Ministry of Mines & Energy, will allow us to undertake extensive drilling and bulk sampling programs;
 
·    
Acquired churn drilling equipment for further evaluation and development of resources;
 
·    
Set-up an operational base in the project area in the town of Saramiriza to continuously review the exploration program and prior experiences gained operating in this difficult terrain;
 
·    
Contracted various consulting firms and experienced and knowledgeable individuals with specific skills in the exploration of alluvial deposits to assist us with the exploration and development of the Peru property; and
 
·    
Commissioned and subsequently received a preliminary master plan which indicated the size and scope of our projected operations and areas where more information is required.

The principle objective of our planned exploration and development program is to bring a dredge and appropriately matched floating plant onto the property to assist us in conducting trial mining tests which requires that we undertake the following actions:
 
·    
Drill an area on the property where known mineralization exists at closely-spaced centers in accordance with mining industry standards;
 
·    
Extend the resource though a wider-spaced program of reconnaissance drilling so as to indicate the potential size of the deposit;
 
·    
Perform additional geotechnical and metallurgical studies to complement existing information in order to prepare the optimum processing route to be adopted in the exploitation phase; and
 
·    
Prepare scoping, prefeasibility, and full feasibility studies.
 
In the first quarter of 2009, a churn drill and ancillary equipment were purchased in the United States and shipped to Peru.  The equipment cost approximately $85,000 and we acquired such funds through the issuance of securities in private equity offerings.  After the process of importation and transport to site, the initial phase of the drilling program on the project commenced in late July 2009.  Drilling capabilities were increased by the purchase of a second-hand bangka drilling rig at a cost of $15,000.
 
Gold bearing gravels were intersected in virtually all of the twenty-six (26) holes drilled as part of this initial drilling program with the better mineralized horizons returning values in the 60 to 200 mg/m3 range (generally, grades in excess of 60 mg/m3 are considered economically viable) with reconnaissance holes up to 15 km apart indicating the widespread distribution of gold throughout the Marañón basin.
 
Concurrent with the drilling, pitting was carried out at locations where significant gold mineralization was encountered in drilling.  Pitting on the same site as one of the bangka holes gave comparable gold values for the bulk sample from the pit and the bangka drill sample, 213 mg/m3 and 208 mg/m3 respectively, indicating that bangka drilling appears to be an effective evaluation method.  In addition, river bank gravel outcrops and artisanal mine workings have been channel sampled and sedimentological studies have been carried out.  Again, virtually all samples taken in these programs have contained some level of gold.  Channel sampling of exposures in artisanal workings in paleo channels indicate average grades in the range of 120 to 350 mg/m3 with local accumulations of gold up to 550 mg/m3.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2009, we retained the services of an internationally recognized alluvial expert to direct and monitor the on-going exploration program, review results and ensure procedures conform to industry standards.
 
Detailed processing of the heavy mineral concentrates from the samples indicated a relationship between gold values and magnetite content, the two minerals being deposited together in “alluvial traps” (paleo channels) within the Marañón’s immense braided river system.  The association of the gold with magnetic minerals provides a potential means of locating concentrations of mineralization.  During the first quarter of 2010, we completed ground magnetic surveys over areas where mineralized gravels have been identified in order to obtain a “magnetic fingerprint”.
 
Based on the results from the initial phase of the drilling program and the ground magnetic surveys, we planned a Phase II drilling campaign that commenced in April 2010 and was completed in October 2010.  In preparation for commencing this second phase of drilling activity, we further increased our drilling capabilities by purchasing two additional bangka drills that were manufactured and delivered to the property site in April 2010.  The objective of this drilling was to determine if we can define reserves of sufficient size to sustain a fleet of high capacity dredges and floating plants in the future.  The Phase II drilling campaign cost approximately US$500,000 to complete.  The Phase II 100-hole program
 
 
 
 
- 11 -

 
 
 
consisted of definition drilling within a 2.5 square kilometer grid “GSDG1” situated over a large paleo channel that was successfully drilled during the 26-hole initial phase of the drilling program referenced above.  The grid was comprised of 4 lines, equally spaced at 250 meters apart.  Along each line, holes were drilled every 100 meters to depths of up to 15 meters.  Bulk samples collected by excavating small pits and shafts were used for metallurgical testing as well as to confirm drill results.
 
As a result of the Phase II drilling campaign, we were able to identify three large, variable-grade systems of mineralization.  These systems lie near the surface and are at least 100 meters wide, an average of 2.5 meters deep and no less than 600 meters in length.  The first system of gold mineralization, which we refer to as “HBD-33”, was discovered near the mid-point of GSDG1. Five holes were drilled using hand Banka drills at 20-meter spacing. The drilling yielded average gold grades of 159.3mg/cubic meter (within a range of 101.1 to 216.0 mg/cubic meter).  The width of the potential pay horizons averages 3.07 meters (10.07 feet) with a range of 2.2 meters to 4.70 meters. The gold is contained in volcanic-quartz type fluvial gravels beneath an average of only 2.73 meters (8.95 feet) of sandy overburden.  The second system of gold mineralization, which we refer to as “HBD-XX” trends northeast-southwest through GSDG1. Drilling, at 30-meter spacing, during the Phase II program outlined an average grade of 86 mg/cubic meter along a linear 110 meter (361 feet) channel with an average width of 40 meters (131 feet).  The third system of gold mineralization returned values as high as 286.5 mg/m3 over a width of 60m and a thickness of 2.0 meters.
 
In the absence of significant additional drilling, we will be unable to quantify the boundaries of the alluvial gold mineralization and identify concentrations associated with paleo channels.  We caution that results we received from the Phase II drilling campaign do not in any way indicate the presence of a commercially viable mineral deposit.  Our exploration program is building data in order to compile an estimate of probable reserves and make a later determination as to whether a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the properties underlying our mineral property interests in Perú.  A great deal of further exploration is required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of future exploration is determined.
 
Based on these results, we sought to implement a small-scale test mining operation on the 2.5 square kilometer grid that was the subject of our Phase II drilling campaign as a preliminary step towards determining the feasibility of full-scale production.  On January 18, 2011, we entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Swiss Mining S.A., a limited liability company organized and incorporated under the laws of Perú (“Swiss Mining”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Swiss Mining carried out a test mining operation on the MIKA 2 concession located in the Peruvian Province of Datem del Marañon, District of Manseriche (the “MIKA 2 Concession”). The area encompassing the MIKA 2 concession is the 2.5 square kilometer grid that was the subject of the our Phase II drilling campaign.  The test mining operation commenced on March 28, 2011 and was completed on July 10, 2011.
 
Swiss Mining was responsible and liable for all work, services, labor, materials, equipment, supplies and other related costs necessary to implement the test mining operation.  The parties agreed to an allocation of revenues, if any, from the sale or other disposition of ores, concentrates or minerals produced from the MIKA 2 concession (“Net Returns”) equal to thirty percent (30%) to us and seventy percent (70%) to Swiss Mining until the agreed upon costs of US $425,000 are fully covered by Swiss Mining. Thereafter, any Net Returns beyond this cost recovery shall be divided equally between Swiss Mining and us on a 50/50 basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we agree to negotiate a different allocation of Net Returns so long as Swiss Mining has not recovered its costs of US $425,000 should the price of gold drop below US $1,300 per ounce or increase above $1,500 per ounce for at least 5 consecutive business days.

Under the terms of the Agreement, we had the right to monitor, at our own expense, all activities performed by Swiss Mining or its subcontractors under this Agreement including, but not be limited to, the right to make site inspections at any time, to bring experts and consultants onsite to examine or evaluate work in progress or completed work, to examine the books, ledgers, documents, papers, and records pertinent to this Agreement and to observe personnel in every phase of their performance of the related work.
 
We believed that a pilot operation would deliver important data that reflects on the potential dredging and gold separation possibilities of this project.  A small-scale test mining operation will also be helpful to determine if the proposed gold separation equipment is viable in the project's environment and if the recoverable grades of gold are sufficient to sustain such an operation.  Based on the test mining operation, our geological team determined that dredging in the project area was possible and the gold separation equipment used was viable in the project’s environment.
 
The recently completed test mining production program on our MIKA 2 concession produced the following results: 7920 m3 (10,296 cu. Yards) of gravel were extracted, producing 2445.86g. of raw gold at an average gold grade of 309 mg/m3.  The test mining operation did not result in the production of enough raw gold to provide for Swiss Mining’s ability to recover all of its costs.  Under this circumstance, the Agreement provides that any Net Returns shall be allocated  thirty percent (30%) to us and seventy percent (70%) to Swiss Mining.  As a result, we are entitled to 733.75g of raw gold or its equivalent value in cash.  During the reporting period, Swiss Mining delivered to our indirect subsidiary, Minera Marañón, 263.86g of raw gold and is obligated under the Agreement to make delivery of either the remaining 469.89g of raw gold we are entitled to or the equivalent value in cash.
 
While management considers these results from the test mining operation to be favorable, we caution that these results are limited to the MIKA 2 concession and do not in any way indicate the presence of a commercially viable mineral deposit.  We will require significantly more data in order to determine whether a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral property interests in Peru.
 
Given that the foregoing test mining operation on the MIKA 2 concession has provided data that reflects positively on the potential dredging and gold separation possibilities of this project, we are considering how best to proceed in our attempt to further define the resource and potential of the project.  Specifically, we are considering whether the best exploration plan going forward is to expand the test mining operation to other concessions, design a Phase III drilling campaign to expand the Phase II drill program beyond the initial 2.5 square kilometer exploration area to other areas of suspected high mineralization within the Peru Property or a combination of both approaches.   Our geological team has identified other areas of suspected high mineralization to target for exploration.  However, the implementation of any further drilling activity is dependent on our ability to a secure additional financing.  If we are unable to secure additional financing for these activities, we will be unable to expand the test mining operation or commence a Phase III drilling campaign until such time that we are able to secure sufficient financing.
 
In May 2010, we initiated the process for expanding our exploration program a, which will allow us to explore the entire area that comprises the Peru Property and allow for drilling and bulk sampling over the entire project area.  However, we did not conclude the Environmental Impact permit due to insufficient financing, but will seek to recommence the permiting process and secure such permit if we are successful in securing additional financing.
 
While we have commenced our planned exploration program, we must secure additional financing in order to be able to sustain drilling activity, expand the scope of the foregoing test mining operation and/or commence a Phase III drilling campaign or we will be forced to cease our exploration and development program.  We have undertaken efforts to locate a joint venture participant, but there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the properties underlying our mineral property interests.  To the extent that we are able to located a joint venture participant, we would anticipate that our budget and exploration program would be significantly influenced by the joint venture partner. It is our expectation that a potential joint venture partner would bring in its own know-how and resources to the project. Therefore, the exact nature of any future exploration program (drilling and/or additional test production) remains subject to us finding such a joint venture partner for the project.

To the extent we are unable to locate a joint venture participant, but are able to secure additional financing, our plan would be to incur the following exploration costs for the next twelve months:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
 
Revenues
 
We have not generated any revenues from operations since our inception.
 
Operating Expenses
 
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $656,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to operating expenses of $2,669,664 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The substantial decrease in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, is primarily attributable to a significant decrease in interest expense, stock-based compensation and exploration costs incurred during the reporting period and not having incurred any write down of mineral property costs.
 
We accrued interest expense of $71,241 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to interest expense of $231,991 during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This significant decrease in interest during the reporting period was primarily attributable to the conversion of promissory notes into shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2011 which subsequent to the conversion in the second quarter of 2011 no longer accrued interest, but did accrue interest in the third quarter of 2010.  In April 2010 as part of the consideration required for our acquisition of 100% of the mining and mineral rights underlying the Peru Property, we issued to Temasek Investment Inc. (“Temasek”) a $7,000,000 convertible promissory note (“Convertible Promissory Note”) with interest accruing at a rate of 12% per annum.  In January 2011, an aggregate of $7,578,950 in debt, including $6,300,000 of the initial principal balance evidenced by the Convertible Promissory Note, was extinguished in exchange for the issuance of units (the “Units”) consisting of one (1) share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of our Common Stock using the conversion price of $0.10 per Unit.  As a result of this exchange of debt for equity, interest expenditures decreased during the reporting period.

We incurred exploration costs of $128,988 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and exploration costs of $569,556 during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Exploration costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 included social work, costs related to field visits of potential joint venture partners and maintaining the local operation in Saramiriza.  Exploration costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were attributable to 100-hole drill program being conducted on the MIKA 2 Concession. 
 
We reported expenses for stock-based compensation of $4,850 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $814,172 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease in stock-based compensation is attributable no stock-based compensation being paid during the three months ended September 30, 2011, to the cancellation of 2,955,000 stock options during the third and fourth quarter of 2010 and the cancellation of 4,050,000 stock options during the first quarter of 2011.
 
We incurred investor relations expenses of $42,786 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $176,218 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease in investor relations costs during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the prior year, is attributable to the elimination of high cost investor relations programs in 2011.
 
Decreases in operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, was partially offset by increases in miscellaneous office expenditures and management fees.  We reported miscellaneous office expenditures of $60,246 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $40,930 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase is attributable to rent, facilities support, office supplies and materials purchased in support of our operating subsidiary.
 
We reported management fees of $123,742 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $82,628 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase is attributable to an increase in the amount of services provided by management.
 
Other Items
 
We reported foreign exchange gain of $53,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to foreign exchange gain of $5,705 for the prior year.   The foreign exchange gain or loss results from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.  A decrease in foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities in 2011 resulted in the net increase exchange gain in 2011.
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the above, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, we reported a net loss operating loss before and after income taxes of $602,415.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 we reported a net loss operating loss before and after incomes taxes of $2,663,959.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
 
         The basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.003 and $0.032 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the effect of the results described above as well as the offset of additional shares outstanding in 2011 due to the conversion of promissory notes into shares of common stock.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
 
Revenues
 
We have not generated any revenues from operations since our inception.

Operating Expenses
 
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $7,050,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to operating expenses of $9,635,962 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease in our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, is primarily attributable to an decrease in stock-based compensation, exploration costs and investor relations expenditures incurred during the reporting period and not having incurred any write down of mineral property costs.
 
We incurred exploration costs of $702,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and exploration costs of $2,351,946 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Exploration costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to preparation for the test mining production as well as for the first steps of new social base line software and permits in anticipation of future full production should the results of the test mining operation be successful. Additionally, we evaluated new areas of the concessions for consideration as the next possible location to expand the test mining production area.  Exploration costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were attributable to 100-hole drill program being conducted on the MIKA 2 Concession. 
 
We reported expenses for stock-based compensation of $181,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2,686,353 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease in stock-based compensation is attributable to ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ the cancellation of 2,955,000 stock options during the third and fourth quarters of 2010 and the cancellation of 4,050,000 stock options during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
 
We incurred investor relations expenses of $144,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $381,175 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease in investor relations costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, is attributable to the elimination of high cost investor relations programs in 2011.
 
We recorded the write down of mineral property acquisition costs in the amount of $430,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to write down of mineral property acquisition costs of $527,260 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded a provision for write-down of mineral property costs of $430,000 related to the Saramiriza Properties.  We are actively exploring these properties located in Peru, both directly and indirectly through test mining programs with third parties, and intend to continue to explore these properties to our fullest capabilities.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future due to the change in business climate and other legal factors.  Consequently, we recorded a provision for write-down of mineral property costs resulting in a carrying value of $0.
 
Decreases in operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was offset by increases in interest expense and miscellaneous office expenditures.

We accrued interest expense of $4,247,640 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to interest expense of $2,547,005 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This significant increase in interest during the reporting period was primarily attributable to interest accrued on the convertible promissory notes incurred in the first quarter of 2011.  In the first quarter of 2011, we incurred accrued interest expense of $4,106,796.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we accrued interest of $4,246,675 on the notes of which $4,136,353 is related to amortization of the debt discount.  We anticipate that we will incur reduced interest expense in subsequent reporting periods due to the conversion of promissory notes into shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2011 which is described above.
 
We reported miscellaneous office expenditures of $201,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $83,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase is attributable to rent, facilities support, office supplies and materials purchased in support of our operating subsidiary.
 
Other Items
 
We reported foreign exchange gain of $62,870 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to foreign exchange gain of $33,181 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.   The foreign exchange gain or loss results from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. An increase in foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities in 2011 resulted in the net increase in exchange gain in 2011.
 
We reported a gain on settlement debt of $157,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The gain on settlement of debt was attributable to the conversion of $7,578,950 in debt owed by us into units at $0.10 per unit in the first quarter of 2011.  
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the above, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reported a net operating loss before and after income taxes of $6,829,908.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we reported a net loss operating loss before incomes taxes of $9,602,781 and a net loss of $8,850,561 for the reporting period after offsetting a future income tax recovery of $752,220.
 
We had a future income tax recovery of $752,220 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the reserves established due to our operating loss history and the tax benefits related to our mineral property costs activities.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
 
         The basic and diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.039 and $0.109, respectively, due to the effect of the results described above as well as the offset of additional shares outstanding in 2011 due to the conversion of promissory notes into shares of common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $38,094 (December 31, 2010 - $4,181) and working capital deficit of $1,845,166 (December 31, 2010 - $3,165,504).
 
From inception to September 30, 2011, we have not generated any revenue.  Our proposed plan of exploration anticipates that we will incur exploration related expenditures of $950,900 over the next twelve months.  We anticipate spending approximately $200,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $2,400,000 over the next twelve months in order to maintain our operations at their current level.  The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.  We also anticipate that we may incur significant costs and expenses in connection with an SEC investigation.  We are unable, at this time, to estimate the costs and expenses we may incur or our potential liability resulting from this investigation.   If we are subject to any adverse findings, we could be required to pay damages or penalties or have other remedies imposed on us which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.  We have no insurance coverage to cover any portion of our defense cost or any amounts that we may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of this investigation.
 
During the reporting period, we received gross proceeds of $267,000 from sales of equity securities in a private placement.  Our current cash on hand is insufficient to be able to make our planned exploration expenditures and to pay for our general administrative expenses over the next twelve months even without taking into account to extent to which we may incur significant costs and expenses in connection with an SEC investigation.  Accordingly, we must obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We are considering a debt financing, but ultimately believe that it will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have limited tangible assets to secure any debt financing. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to pursue our exploration program and may not be able to maintain our mineral property interests in good standing.  If we do not fulfill the terms of any of these option agreements according to our business plan, then our ability to commence or continue operations could be materially limited.  We also may be forced to abandon our mineral property interests.   If we are unable to raise additional capital within the next twelve months, we will experience liquidity problems and management expects that we will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to explore the properties underlying our mineral property interests.  We have undertaken efforts to locate a joint venture participant, but there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the properties underlying our mineral property interests.  If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral property interests to the joint venture participant.

Operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 used cash of $2,280,937 and $2,522,277 respectively, which reflect our recurring operating losses.  Our net losses of $6,829,908 and $8,850,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were the primary reasons for our negative operating cash flow in both years.  Our reporting negative operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was offset by a write down of mineral property costs of $430,000, stock-based compensation of $181,896 and accrued interest of $4,246,675 for the reporting period.

Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $19,150 in investing activities, as compared to $1,390,353 used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased $19,150 in equipment, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, in which we purchased $63,093 in equipment, expended $327,260 in connection with the acquisition of mineral property interests and paid $1,000,000 in connection with our acquisition of 100% of the interest in certain properties n Peru.
 
Cash from Financing Activities
 
As we have had no revenues since inception, we have financed our operations primarily by using existing capital reserves and through private placements of our debt and equity securities.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2,334,000, as compared to $3,746,391 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.
 
Going Concern
 
We have incurred net losses for the period from inception on March 6, 2000 to September 30, 2011 of $50,707,599 and have no source of revenue.  The continuity of our future operations is dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and development of profitable operations from our mineral properties.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis.  The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
Mineral property costs
 
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased.  At the end of each fiscal quarter end, we assess the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
 
 
 
 
 
- 19 -

 
 
 
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
 
As of the date of the consolidated financial statements, we have not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
 
Although we have taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which we have an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
 
Equipment
 
Equipment is recorded at cost and amortization is provided over its estimated economic life at 30% or on a straight line basis over its economic life.
 
Website development costs

The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred.  The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.
 
Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.
 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
 
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
 
Start-up Expenses
 
We have adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.  Accordingly, start-up costs associated with our formation have been included in our expenses for the period from the date of inception on March 6, 2000 to September 30, 2011.
 
 
 
 
 
- 20 -

 
 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective 1 January 2006, we adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).  We adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which requires us to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.  Adoption of ASC 718 does not change the way we account for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Our functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  Our consolidated financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  We have not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Comparative Figures
 
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
Item 3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not Applicable.
 
Item 4.       Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2011.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Stocker, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Peter Wiget.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
 
 
 
 
- 21 -

 
 
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are 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 in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
 
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2.        Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
During the reporting period, we issued a total of 2,670,000 shares of our common stock to fourteen persons who exercised warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that were issued in a prior private placement or in satisfaction of outstanding debt.  These warrants had an exercise price of $0.10 and the aggregate purchase price we received from the exercise of these warrants and the sale of the underlying shares of common stock was $267,000. These shares were offered and sold in a private transaction and issued in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.  The investors represented that they were acquiring the shares for investment only and not with a view toward resale or distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate restricted legends to the stock certificate issued to the investors.  The investors were given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision.  Neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf offered or sold these shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
