NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation and Organization

First Liberty Power Corp. (“First Liberty Power” or the “Company” and formerly Quuibus Technology, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation in the exploration stage.  The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 28, 2007.  The original business plan of the Company was focused on developing and offering a server-based software product for the creation of wireless communities. The Company commenced a capital formation activity to effect a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and raise capital of up to $60,000 from a self-underwritten offering of 1,200,000 shares of newly issued common stock in the public markets. The Registration Statement on Form SB-2 was filed with the SEC on November 13, 2007, and declared effective on November 21, 2007. On February 18, 2008, the Company completed an offering of its registered common stock.

In December 2009, the Company changed its business direction, and the Company’s primary focus is on exploration of domestic strategic energy and mineral properties to supply the emerging demand for clean energy.  The accompanying financial statements of the Company were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.

On December 22, 2009, the Company declared a 27 for 1 forward stock split of its authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. The Company’s authorized common stock increased from 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 540,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in the stockholders’ equity accounts as of March 28, 2007, the date of our inception, and in all shares and per share data in the financial statements.

Effective December 22, 2009, the Company changed its name from “Quuibus Technology, Inc.” to “First Liberty Power Corp.” by way of a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary First Liberty Power Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
Mineral Properties

The Company is primarily engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration, development, mining, and production of domestic strategic energy and mineral properties, with emphasis on lithium carbonate.  Mineral claim and other property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred.  Such costs are carried as an asset of the Company until it becomes apparent through exploration activities that the cost of such properties will not be realized through mining operations.  Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred, and when it becomes apparent that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven or probable reserve, the exploration costs, along with mine development cost, are capitalized.  The costs of acquiring mineral claims, capitalized exploration costs, and mine development costs are recognized for depletion and amortization purposes under the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable and proven reserves.  If mineral properties, exploration, or mine development activities are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs are charged to operations in the current period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations.  Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

Long-lived assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposal value.
 
 Investments

The Company holdings in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. The carrying value of marketable securities is reviewed each reporting period for declines in value that are considered to be other-than temporary and, if appropriate, the investments are written down to their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available for sale securities are included in the Company’s statements of operations. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed temporary are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Effective February 8, 2011, the Company acquired 500,000 shares of New America Energy common stock pursuant to an Agreement between the Company, New America Energy and GeoXplor (refer to Note 3) for the deemed value of $250,000. The equity investment will be periodically reviewed to determine if impairment is required.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding during the quarters ended October 31, 2011, and 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of October 31, 2011, and July 31, 2011, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.

 (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Common Stock Registration Expenses

The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions.  As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred.

Estimates

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2011, and July 31, 2011, and expenses for the quarters ended October 31, 2011, and 2010, and cumulative from inception.  Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Reclassification

For the three-month period ended October 31, 2011, certain items in 2010 and cumulative from inception were reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.  The Company has consolidated certain line items on the statement of operations including Legal fees and Accounting and Audit fees to one line item, “Professional fees”.  Additionally the Company has consolidated into one line item, “General and Administration” the following: Transfer agent fees, SEC filing fees, Office rent, Bank and office supplies.

Note 2 – Going concern

The Company is currently in the exploration stage and has engaged in limited operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company will be successful in its planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to be successful in the development of its product, sale of its planned product, and services that will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred an operating loss since inception of $1,389,733 and has no revenues to offset its operating costs. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
Note 3 – Mineral properties

On December 24, 2009, the Company entered into two property purchase agreements with GeoXplor Corp. (“GeoXplor”), which granted exclusive exploration licenses to the mineral properties described in the agreements.

On February 3, 2011, we entered into and closed agreements with New America Energy Corp. (“New America”) and GeoXplor Inc. (“NECA Agreement”), whereby the Company optioned its interest in the mining claims associated with the Van-Ur Agreement, granting an option, as well as exploration rights, in these claims to New America. Pursuant to the terms of the NECA Agreement, the consideration to the Company for entering into this agreement with New America was as follows:

1.
$10,000 on the execution of the NECA Agreement; $33,333 within 120 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement; $33,333 within 240 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement; and $33,334 within 360 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement;

2.
500,000 shares of New America common stock

a.
These shares were issued to the Company on February 11, 2011. The fair value of the shares was recorded as an investment in the amount of $250,000 based on the trading price of the shares at the time of issuance, which was $0.50 per share. The value of these shares is to be periodically reviewed and adjusted as required.

3.
A 0.5% net smelter royalty on all net revenue derived from production.

Subject to New America fulfilling the terms of the NECA Agreement, the Company will not be required to meet its obligations under the UraVan Agreement, including the December 24, 2010 payment of $100,000 (deferred until February 7, 2011) and all future payments, work program commitments, and stock issuances including the December 24, 2010 issuance for 250,000 shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the Van-Ur Agreement, New America made cash payments in the amount of $10,000, and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the Company and made cash payments in the amount of $50,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to GeoXplor.

The value of the mining property asset associated with this agreement has been divested from the Company’s financial statements, and as of October 31, 2011, the Company recorded the gain on the transfer of the mineral property option in the amount of $75,000.

Note 3 – Mineral properties (continued)

The payment of $33,333 due to the Company on June 3, 2011 and the payment of $50,000 due to GeoXplor on May 31, 2011 pursuant to the Van-Ur Agreement were not paid as due. The parties to the agreement verbally agreed to extend the payment due dates by 120 days and on August 1, 2011, with an effective date of May 31, 2011, the parties executed an extension agreement.  Under the terms of the extension agreement, during the 120 extension period commencing from May 31, 2011, GeoXplor has the right to solicit and accept offers by other parties on the property, in which case the Van-Ur Agreement will be terminated and neither New America nor the Company will have any further rights or interest in the Uravan property.  At any time prior to the expiration of the 120 day term either NECA or the Company could pay the required payments to GeoXplor.   Should neither NECA nor the Company pay the required payments under the agreement then the property will revert to GeoXplor unless further extended.

The extension agreement was lapsed on September 30, 2011, with neither New America nor the Company making any additional payments; therefore the claims have fully reverted back to GeoXplor Corp.

Note 4 – Prepaid consulting fees

On March 1, 2010 the Company entered into a consulting contract with Mr. John Rud.  Under the terms of the contract, Mr. Rud was to receive 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation for services rendered to February 28, 2011, such shares to be deemed earned based on the number of days of services provided.   As a result during the initial term of Mr. Rud’s contract, the Company recorded compensation expense in respect of the shares based on multiplying the pro-rata portion of 250,000 shares earned, over a 365 day year, by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the same period.  On March 1, 2011, the contract was renewed under the same terms.   On June 3, 2011 the Company issued the shares required under the current contract, and as of July 31, 2011, there were 145,889 unearned shares valued at $16,048 recorded in pre-paid expenses.  On October 31, 2011, the Company received the resignation of Mr. Rud, and as a result the contract was terminated as of that date.  The Company agreed not to exercise the clawback provision in the contract, and therefore all 145,889 shares were expensed as of that date.  These shares were valued at $0.07/share, based on the average closing trade price between August 1 2011 and October 31, 2011, resulting in a compensation expense of $16,048 being recorded and prepaid expense reduced accordingly.

On May 3, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. John Hoak, a Director of the Company, which agreement was effective from March 24, 2010, and under which agreement, on May 3, 2011 a further 250,000 shares became due and payable under the contract with respect to services provided commencing March 24, 2011.  These shares were valued on the date the Company incurred the obligation at fair market value of $0.30 for a total of $75,000, which amount was recorded as a prepaid expense, with such shares to be deemed earned based on the number of days of services provided. During the current quarter ending October 31, 2011 a total of 92 days of service had been provided, the value of which was  has been recorded as $18,904 in compensation expense in respect of the earned shares with a total of 98,630 shares remaining to be earned in prepaid expenses, valued at $29,589.

Note 5 – Loan payable

On December 24, 2009, the Company borrowed $200,000 from an unrelated third party under a promissory note. The loan was unsecured, bore interest at 10 percent per annum, and was due and payable on or before December 23, 2010. On February 1, 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from the same third party lender, which amount was also unsecured, bore interest at 10 percent per annum, and was due on or before February 1, 2011. On December 23, 2010, the Company and the lender agreed to consolidate the principal amounts, as of December 24, 2010, into a single consolidated loan. The new consolidated loan is in the amount of $250,000 and is unsecured, bears interest at 10 percent per annum, and is due on or before December 23, 2011.

As of October 31, 2011, the balance owing on the loan is principal amount of $250,000 and accrued interest of $47,911.

Note 6 – Related parties transactions

On March 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. John Rud, under which Mr. Rud was to hold the position of Vice President Exploration with the Company, and Mr. Rud was issued 250,000 shares of common stock for services rendered. Mr. Rud is also a principal with GeoXplor, with whom the Company has its property purchase agreement. On March 1, 2011, the Company and Mr. Rud agreed to extend the contract for an additional year, under the same terms, though with Mr. Rud undertaking a non-executive role with the Company.  The Company issued a further 250,000 shares of common stock for services rendered in June 2011. On October 31, 2011, Mr. Rud resigned his role at the Company, and the contract was terminated. The Company agreed not to exercise the clawback provision in the contract, and therefore all 145,889 shares were expensed as of that date, resulting in a compensation expense of $16,049 being recorded.

On May 3, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. John Hoak, wherein Mr. Hoak has agreed to provide, among other things, consulting services to the Company. The agreement was effective March 24, 2010 and continues to March 24, 2012. In consideration for agreeing to provide such consulting services, on May 3, 2010, we issued to Mr. Hoak 250,000 shares of our common stock, with a further 250,000 issued in July 2011, valued at $75,000. During each period, a compensation expense is determined based on the number of days for which services were provided relative to 365 days, multiplied by the common stock valuation. This amount is deducted from the pre-paid expense ($75,000 from the 2nd issuance) accordingly each period, which amount was $18,904 recorded as consulting expense during the three-month period ended October 31, 2011, leaving a pre-paid expense balance of $29,589. The agreement with Mr. Hoak also contains a provision for the payment of $2,500 a month during the term of the agreement. For the three-month period ended October 31, 2011, the Company recognized an additional consulting expense in the amount of $7,500. The Company did not make any cash payment to Mr. Hoak to date, leaving $48,498 cumulatively due and payable to this related party.

As of October 31, 2011, a former officer and Director of the Company had an outstanding loan amount to the Company of $9,761 (October 31, 2010- $9,761). The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and has no specific terms for repayment.

On November 29, 2010, Mr. Don Nicholson was appointed as a member of the board of directors of the Company, and on December 28, 2010, effective January 1, 2011; Mr. Nicholson was appointed Chief Executive Officer, President, and Secretary-Treasurer.   The services of Mr. Nicholson (as the designated service provider of LTV International Holdings Ltd.) are delivered to the Company under an agreement entered into on July 2, 2011, effective November 15, 2010, with LTV International Holdings Ltd., for which company Mr. Nicholson provides consulting services, and the terms of which required the issuance of 5,000,000 shares, undertaken on July 15, 2011, and a monthly fee of $2,500.  There are no outstanding amounts owing as of October 31, 2011, under the agreement.

Note 7 – Common stock

On August 9, 2011, the Company signed a confidential term sheet in respect to the creation of a $3,000,000 Equity Line financing structure.  Pursuant to the term sheet, the Company paid a document preparation fee of $7,500, and issued a total of 136,364 shares valued at $15,000.  Final documentation and conditions relative to this term sheet have not been completed as the filing of this report, but are expected to be shortly thereafter.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "intends", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Given these uncertainties, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
 
All dollar amounts stated herein are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2011, together with notes thereto.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and the "Company" mean First Liberty Power Corp.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

Liquidity & Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2011, our cash balance was $15,300, which is a decrease from our cash balance of $74,576 at July 31, 2011.  The Company did not receive any investment capital or loans during the three month period from August 1, 2011 through October 31, 2011.

As of October 31, 2011, our total current assets are $596,289 ($690,518 - July 31, 2011).  Our current liabilities are $467,670 ($439,009 – July 31, 2011).  This results in a working capital position of $128,619 ($251,509 – July 31, 2011).  This increase in working capital is primarily as a result of  an increase in available for sale securities of $170,000 and a decrease in prepaid expense to $410,989 from $440,942 and some small increases in accounts payable trade and related parties, and accrued liabilities.   The decrease in prepaid expense was due to services being rendered by consultants that had been paid for through the issuance of stock.

At present, the Company’s cash position is insufficient to meet its obligations through to the end of the fiscal year, as we are not currently generating any revenues, and, over the next 12 months, we will require additional funds to meet our operating obligations, loan payment requirements, and property payment / work program obligations.  At present, we anticipate our funding requirements to be approximately $1,200,000.   This estimate is comprised of $500,000 for required and additional exploration and maintenance expenditures on our Lithium property, a further $100,000 acquisition payment on same (due December 2011), $300,000 for principal and accrued interest on our loan payable (due December 2011), and a further $300,000 to cover operating and overhead costs.  Additional amounts will be required if we identify additional acquisition targets, or determine that additional exploration on the Lithium property are required to accelerate its development.

This amount may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. We need to raise additional funds in the near future in order to proceed with our exploration program, as our available cash is insufficient.

There is no assurance we will be able to identify or acquire those funds on a commercially reasonable basis.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties.  To date, we have not generated any revenues.

Our operating expenses for the three-month period ending October 31, 2011, were $195,477 ($195,505 – October 31, 2010).  While our operating costs decreased somewhat, and our exploration costs were reduced to $10,125 ($47,272 – October 31, 2010), our professional fees increased to $39,852 ($1,488 – October 31, 2010).  This increase in professional fees was a result of additional costs in the amending of Company’s 10-K from 2010, the filing of the 10-K for 2011, and legal costs associated with the negotiation on a potential financing.

The total net loss for the current three month period was $204,140, compared to $201,806 in the same period in the prior year, resulting in part from a write down on the valuation of the New America stock by $5,000 at the end of the period.

Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company presently does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern

In their audit report relating to our financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2011; our independent accountants indicated that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our lack of revenue resulting in a net loss position and insufficient funds to meet our business objectives. All of these factors continue to exist and raise doubt about our status as a going concern.

We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months.

ITEM 3.                QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4.               CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Mr. Don Nicholson, Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).  Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2011, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f).  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation.  In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2011.  In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.   Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of October 31, 2011:

1)  
Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors.  We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee.  These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;

 
7

 

2)  
Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations.  We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions, who provides two staff members.  The relatively small number of people who are responsible for bookkeeping functions and the fact that they are from the same firm of consultants prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.  The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. This may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC;
3)  
Outsourcing of our accounting operations.  Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm.  The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are not answerable to the Company’s management.  This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the independent firm;
4)  
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
5)  
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As of October 31, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the quarter ended and to date, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting.  However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.  During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.

Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses.  We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so.  We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits.  Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2011, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size.  Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.

We are committed to improving our financial organization.   As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee and who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources.  We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary, and as funds allow.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the  rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
