ITEM 1.     BUSINESS
 
General
 
We are in the business of mineral exploration.  On June 15, 2009 we entered in a Mineral Lease Agreement whereby we leased from Timberwolf Minerals, LTD a total of two (2) unpatented lode mining claims in the State of Nevada which we refer to as the Dunfee Property. These mineral claims are located in Section 14 & 23, Township 7 South, Range 41 1/2 East, Mt. Diablo Baseline & Meridian, Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA, owned by Timberwolf Minerals LTD. In January of 2011, we staked an additional twenty (20) unpatented lode mining claims under the mineral lease agreement to expand the Dunfee Property.
 
According to the lease Diversified has agreed to pay Timberwolf Minerals, LTD minimum royalty payments which shall be paid in advance.  Diversified paid the sum of $5,275 upon execution of this lease. Diversified also paid $5,000 on the first anniversary of the lease, and paid $5,000 on the second anniversary of the lease and agreed to pay $10,000 on or before the third anniversary of the lease, $25,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the lease and each annual payment after that shall be $75,000 plus an annual increase or decrease equivalent to the rate of inflation designated by the Consumer’s Price Index for that year with execution year as base year. Diversified will pay Timberwolf Minerals, LTD a royalty of 3.5% of the Net Returns from all ores, minerals, concentrates, or other products mined and removed from the property and sold or processed by Diversified, quarterly. The term of this lease is for twenty (20) years, renewable for an additional twenty (20) years so long as conditions of the lease are met.

Our plan of operations is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Dunfee Property in order to assess whether these claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits.  (Commercially exploitable mineral deposits are deposits which are suitably adequate or prepared for productive use of a natural accumulation of minerals or ores). Our exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of gold, silver, copper or any other valuable minerals.  (Commercially viable deposits are deposits which are suitably adequate or prepared for productive use of an economically workable natural accumulation of minerals or ores). We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals on our mineral claims.  (A reserve is an estimate within specified accuracy limits of the valuable metal or mineral content of known deposits that may be produced under current economic conditions and with present technology). We are an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims.
 
After acquiring a lease on the Dunfee Property, we retained the services of Robert Thomas, a Professional Geologist.  Mr. Thomas prepared geologic reports for us on the mineral exploration potential of the claims.  Mr. Thomas has no direct or indirect interest and does not expect to receive an interest in any of the Dunfee Property claims. Included in the reports are recommended exploration programs which consists of mapping, sampling, staking additional claims and drilling.
 
At this time we are uncertain of the extent of mineral exploration we will conduct before concluding that there are, or are not, commercially viable minerals on our claims.  Further phases beyond the current exploration program will be dependent upon numerous factors such as Mr. Thomas’ recommendations based upon ongoing exploration program results and our available funds.
 
Competition
 
We are a junior mineral resource exploration company engaged in the business of mineral exploration. We compete with other junior mineral resource exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral resource exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral resource exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors. We also compete for mineral properties of merit with other junior exploration companies. Competition could reduce the availability of properties of merit or increase the cost of acquiring the mineral properties.
 
Employees
 
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our president and secretary. We currently do not conduct business as we are only in the development stage of our company. We plan to conduct our business largely through the outsourcing of experts in each particular area of our business.
 
Subsidiaries
 
We do not have any subsidiaries.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

1.
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
     
 
2.
Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
 
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.
 
Our audited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Plan of Operation
 
Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Dunfee Property to determine whether there are commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other metals.

We completed Phase I in August 2009. Six days were spent mapping and sampling the Dunfee Property. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the mineral potential of the leased claims, and the surrounding area precious metal mineralization. Detailed geologic mapping and geochemical sampling indicate the presence of high-grade gold-silver silica veins and vein intersections. Phase one was carried out by David A. Wolfe and the end cost of the work was $5,000.

We completed Phase II of our exploration program in January 2011 Which consisted of staking 20  additional claims in the area. The cost of staking these additional 20 claims was $6,700, and the staking of the additional claims was carried out by David A. Wolfe.

We initiated Phase III of our exploration program in November 2011, which is follow-up detailed mapping and sampling of the additional claims and indicated drill targets. Mr. Ken Brook was retained by the company to carry out this phase of our exploration program. Mr. Brook spent 5 days on the property in November 2011. Mr. Brook has received the assay results from the sampling and is compiling a report to the Company which we expect to receive in the next 10 days.

If the results of Phase three are favorable, the company plans to move to Phase four of its exploration program which includes the drilling of 4,000 feet of Reverse Circulation holes, and includes the cost of assays as well as the cost of the supervising geologist, bonding, permitting and other associated expenses. The timing of this phase has not been determined. The timing will be based on availability of a geologist and work crew, as well as the company’s ability to fund this phase. This phase is expected to cost approximately $155,000. We do not have sufficient cash reserves to proceed with this phase of the exploration program.

If results are favorable leading up to the drilling of the property, the company will need to raise additional funds required to meet this and other capital needs.  Should the results leading up to the drilling of the property prove not to be sufficiently positive to proceed with a further exploration on the property, we intend to seek out and acquire other North American mineral exploration properties which, in the opinion of a Geologist, offer attractive mineral exploration opportunities.  However, we may not have sufficient financing to seek out and acquire other properties, and if we did have sufficient financing, it is possible that we would be unsuccessful in seeking out an acquiring alternative exploration properties.
 
 
 
5

 

 
During the exploration stage of the Dunfee Property, our President will be devoting approximately 10 hours per week of his time to our business.  We do not foresee this limited involvement as negatively impacting our company over the next twelve months as all exploratory work is being performed by outside consultants. If, however, the demands of our business require more time of our president such as raising additional capital or addressing unforeseen issues with regard to our exploration efforts, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to our business.  However, he may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business, as and when needed.

Upon the event that we require additional funding, we anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our Class A common stock.  However we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our Class A common stock to fund additional phases of the exploration program, should we decide to proceed.  We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding any phases in our exploration program.  The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness by most banks or typical investors or corporate debt until such time as an economically viable mine can be demonstrated.  We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.

In the event that Diversified completes this exploration program and is successful in identifying a potential mineral deposit, we would have to spend substantial funds on additional drilling of the property and engineering studies before we would be able to determine if it’s a commercially viable mineral deposit.

Anticipated Cash Requirements
 
We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:
 
1.
$155,000 in connection with the next stage of our exploration program;
   
2.
$10,000 for operating expenses, including professional legal and accounting expenses associated with our company being a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and
 
We require a minimum of approximately $165,000 to proceed with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. As we had cash in the amount of $6,843 and a working capital in the amount of $6,843 as of October 31, 2011, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months. We plan to complete private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operation and to fund our working capital deficit in order to enable us to pay our accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $165,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan.
 
Cash Used In Operating Activities
 
We used cash in operating activities in the amount of $37,337 during the year ended October 31, 2011 and $5,864 during the period ended October 31, 2010. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from financing activities.

No cash was used or provided in investing activities during the year ended October 31, 2011 and the period ended October 31, 2010.
 
Cash from Financing Activities
 
We generated no cash from financing activities during the year ended October 31, 2011 compared to $45,000 generated from financing activities during the period ended October 31, 2010.
 
Going Concern
 
The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at October 31, 2011, our company has accumulated losses of $53,157 since inception. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
 
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
 
Future Financings
 
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned activities. Gordon Smith has agreed to provide loans to a minimal amount to carry on our legal, accounting and reporting needs.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The financial statements of our company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To:  The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Diversified Resources, Inc.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Diversified Resources Inc. as of October 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period and year then ended, and for the period since inception, March 19, 2009, to October 31, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diversified Resources Inc. as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period and year then ended, and the period from inception, March 19, 2010 to October 31, 2011, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue and incurred losses in its initial and second year.  This raises substantive doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of the effectiveness of its documented internal controls over financial reporting.

DIVERSIFIED RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2011
(Expressed in US Dollars)
NOTE 1     ORGANIZATION

Diversified Resources Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 19, 2009 to pursue mineral extraction in the United States.  The fiscal year end is October 31.
   
Current Operations
On May 22, 2009 the Company leased two mining claims in Esmerelda County, Nevada, in the Dunfee Mine Area.  The lease includes all additional claims within one mile of these claims.  The area was the subject of a geological report on September 11, 2009.  The lease required an initial payment of $5,000, plus $275 Federal and State maintenance fees.  Minimum annual payments begin with $5,000 at the 2nd anniversary year, escalating to $75,000 at the 5th and subsequent years. The Company is responsible for taxes and maintenance fees imposed on the claims.  Lessor is entitled to a royalty of one percent of net smelter returns. The lease grants the Company the right to purchase 2 ½ percent of the royalty for $5,000,000, reduced by minimum payments made. The Company is current with required payments.
 
NOTE 2     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.

Property & Equipment
Capital assets are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company did not have any property & equipment at October 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) ASC (Accounting Standard Codification) 340-10 Other Assets and Deferred Costs, (SFAS 142 and 144: “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). In accordance with ASC 340-10, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset will not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. The Company did not have any long lived assets at October 31, 2011 and 2010.

Use of estimates
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in
 
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry-forward.  However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established.  Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued   ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
 
 
-
Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 
-
Level 2:  Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

 
-
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of October 31, 2010 were valued according to the following inputs:
 
   
2011
   
 2010
 
Level 1:
           
             
Cash
  $ 0     $ 44,180  
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented.  ASC 260 requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.  Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is similarly calculated. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. As at October 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no potentially dilutive securities.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:

  $ (0.01 )   $ (0.00 )

Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605-13 (Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.  There were no sales in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 1, 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-15 on the consolidation of variable entities.  The new guidance requires revised valuations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities and additional disclosures for variable interests.  Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Company has reviewed issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it.  The Company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncements to have a n impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
 
NOTE 3     UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, the Company has not generated any revenue and has incurred cumulative losses of $53,157.

Management has taken the following step to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company pursued funding through sale of stock.  Management believes that the above action will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in its retail operation.

Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations.  If the Company is unable to make it profitable, the Company could be forced to discontinue operations.
 
 
 
 
17

 

 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 4     EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY
 
The Company is considered an exploration stage company, with limited operating revenues during the periods presented.  The Company is required to report its operations, shareholders deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things.  Management has defined inception as March 19, 2009. Since inception, the Company has incurred an operating loss of $53,157. The Company’s working capital has been generated through the sales of common stock.  Management has provided financial data since March 19, 2009, “Inception” in the financial statements, as a means to provide readers of the Company’s financial information to make informed investment decisions. The date of Inception is assigned as the date of incorporation, used for convenience as it is near the date of entering into a mineral lease.

On September 30, 2010 the Company Secretary, R. Gordon Cormie, purchased 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.02 per share for $500.

On September 30, 2010 Richard O’Hara, who was elected a director in November of 2010, purchased 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.02 per share for $500.

NOTE 5     INCOME TAXES

No provision was made for federal income tax for the fiscal year and period ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, since the Company had net operating loss.

Net operating loss carry-forwards may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2030. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock. The net operating loss carry-forward for federal and state income tax purposes is approximately $53,000.

 NOTE 6     CAPITAL

During the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the company issued the following common shares:

September 30, 2010:  2,250,000 shares issued for cash at $0.02 (2 cents) per share, realizing $45,000.

As of October 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company had authorized 75,000,000 common shares of par value $0.001, of which 5,250,000 were issued and outstanding.

ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2011.This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Business Experience
 
The following is a brief account of the education and business experience of each director and executive officer during at least the past five years, indicating each person’s principal occupation during the period, and the name and principal business of the organization by which he was employed.
 
Gordon R. Smith is presently the CEO, CFO, President and Director of Diversified Resources Inc. Mr. Smith has been a self-employed businessman since doing post-graduate studies in Business Administration and Urban Planning. He was Development Manager for a large publicly traded Western Canada based real estate development firm from 1976 to 1979 and a principal and promoter of commercial and industrial real estate syndications in the early 1980’s. He successfully completed several resource-based public offerings on the Vancouver and Alberta Stock Exchanges and has been active in domestic and international venture capital markets since the mid-1980s. In 1993 he founded Inter West Energy Corporation, a junior energy marketing and investment company, securing a supply contract with Western Gas Marketing (Trans Canada Pipeline Limited) for 500 million cubic feet of natural gas daily.  Inter West Energy was subsequently acquired by New Cache Petroleum by way of a friendly takeover. In 1996 he was General Manager and then interim CEO for an international oil and gas exploration and production company with interests in the Arabian Gulf, Egypt and South East Africa.  In 2003 he formed a group of Tax Driven Oil and Gas Syndicates to provide tax relief to investor clients until 2008.  Since that time he has provided administrative and financial consulting services in corporate reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions.

Gord Cormie is presently the Secretary of Diversified Resources Inc. After being admitted to the Alberta Bar in 1973, R. Gordon Cormie practiced in Calgary with several prestigious law firms before becoming a partner at Scott Venturo LLP in January 2005. Prior thereto, he practiced with McLeod and Co. for 3 years specializing in oil and gas contract law. Mr. Cormie’s experience in the area of securities, corporate/commercial and oil and gas (resource and energy) law has allowed him the opportunity to work on many types of transactions. These types of transactions typically necessitate knowledge of appropriate regulatory bodies in Alberta and throughout Canada. Amalgamations, acquisitions and divestitures constitute a major
 
 
 
20

 
 
 
part of Mr. Cormie's practice. He also has a significant focus on real estate development both from the developers’ perspective but also from a banking or financing perspective. This involves each level of government whether municipal, provincial or federal and includes applications for approvals and negotiations required to further plans of his corporate clients. Although his main focus is in the Province of Alberta, Mr. Cormie has advised on transactions on behalf of clients involved in the United States, Europe and the Far East. Mr. Cormie has acted as a director and officer of a number of public companies, as well as private companies, most of which are active in the resource-energy sector, to assist in developing corporate plans.

Term of Office
 
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
 
Significant Employees
 
We have no significant employees other than the director and officer described above.

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
 
 
1.
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
     
 
2.
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

21

 
 
 
 
4.
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
 
Audit Committee
 
The Company’s audit committee is composed of its two directors.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the audit committee members are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.
 
ITEM 11.    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
 
The particulars of compensation paid to the following persons:
 
 
our principal executive officer;
 
our most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the year ended October 31, 2011; and
 
up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the most recently completed financial year, who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers, for our years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, are set out in the following summary compensation table:

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.
   
(2)
The percentage of class is based on 5,250,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2012.
 
Changes in Control
 
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company.
 
ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

ITEM 14.    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 
Audit fees
 
The aggregate fees billed for the two most recently completed fiscal periods ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 for professional services rendered by John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA, for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
 
   
Year Ended
October 31,
2011
   
Year Ended
October 31,
2010
 
Audit Fees and Audit Related Fees
  $ 3,200     $ 3,000  
Tax Fees
  $ 0     $ 0  
All Other Fees
  $ 0     $ 0  
Total
  $ 3,200     $ 3,000  

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.
 
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors
 
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
 
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA. and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA.
