CLARIDGE VENTURES, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                                         January 31, 2010

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Claridge Ventures, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 7, 2008. The Company was organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the State of Nevada.

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in United States (US) dollars. The Company has not produced any revenue from its principal business and is a exploration stage company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


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 these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Impaired Asset Policy


The Company tests its assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable, which includes comparing the carrying amount of a long-lived asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. For the Company's mining claims, this test includes examining the discounted and undiscounted cash flows associated with value beyond proven and probable reserves, in determining whether the mining claim is impaired.


Start-up Expenses


The Company expenses costs associated with start-up activities as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company's general and administrative expenses for the period from inception on May7, 2008 to January 31, 2010.


Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar as substantially all of the Company’s operations are in United States.


F-4







CLARIDGE VENTURES,, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                                        January 31, 2010

(Unaudited)


Assets and liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the year end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the Comprehensive Income statement account in Stockholder’s Equity, if applicable.  

Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date.  If applicable, exchange gains and losses are included in other items on the Statement of Operations.


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share


The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. There are no potential common shares; accordingly, diluted and basic loss per share amounts are the same.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s only financial instruments are cash. Due to the short maturities of these financial instruments, their fair value approximates their carrying value.  

                                                                   

Income Taxes


Deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has cumulative net losses of $83,275 as of January 31, 2010, with an approximate deferred tax asset of $28,313 that has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net operating losses expire 20 years from the date incurred.


Recent Authoritative Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting standards to have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 –MINERAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND EXPLORATION COST

On July 17, 2008 the Company acquired a 100% interest in numerous claims known as the Pyramid Properties, located in the State of Nevada. The claims were purchased for $21,500 cash and accompanying the property purchase was a geological report which was included in the purchase price. During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the mineral claims were in excess of its estimated fair value and recognized an impairment loss on mineral claims costs of $21,500.

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


The Company has issued common shares to  a total of 39 individuals between May 7, 2008 and July 31, 2008. 5,000,000 shares were purchased at $0.001 by two individual for total proceeds of $5,000; 3,285,000 shares were purchased at $0.02 by 37 individuals for a total proceeds received by the company of $65,700..

                                                        

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN

These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of January 31, 2010 the Company had  incurred accumulated losses since inception of $83,275 The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.

Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements". These statements, identified by words such as “plan”, "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Overview

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On July 17, 2008 we acquired a 100% undivided interest in two mining claim blocks comprising of 10 claims and 14 claims, covering an area of 480 acres respectively, from David Bending, the two claim blocks are known as the Pyramid Prospect. The mining claims are located in Washoe County Nevada, approximately 30 air miles north of Reno/Sparks near Pyramid Lake.

Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Pyramid Prospect in order to assess whether they possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits of copper, silver and gold. We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is required to determine whether our mineral claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits of silver and gold.

Acquisition of the Pyramid Prospect

We purchased the Pyramid Prospect in an arms-length transaction on July 17, 2008 from David Bending of Reno Nevada for the Sum of $21,500 cash.

Current State of Exploration

We have not commenced Phase 1 of our exploration program of the Pyramid Prospect, we are currently making arrangements with Mr. Bending to proceed with Phase 1 of the Issuer’s exploration program and anticipate having Phase 1 completed on or before September 30, 2010. With respect to the other Phases of the Issuer’s exploration program these are scheduled for later 2010 and 2011 if the results of previous exploration phases warrant further exploration.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Pyramid Prospect in order to assess whether the claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits. Our exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of silver and gold mineralization. We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals on our mineral claims.

We do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund our operations for the next twelve months. However, we will require additional financing in order to proceed with any additional work beyond Phase I of our exploration program. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for exploration work beyond Phase I of our exploration program, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with exploration work beyond Phase I of our exploration program.

A decision on proceeding beyond the planned Phase I explorations will be made by assessing whether the results of Phase I are sufficiently positive to enable us to obtain the financing we will need for us to continue through additional stages of the exploration program. This assessment will include an assessment of the market for financing of mineral exploration projects at the time of our assessment and an evaluation of our cash reserves after the completion of Phase I.  The decision whether or not to proceed will be based on the recommendations of our geological consultant. The decision of the consultant whether or not to recommend proceeding will be based on a number of factors, including his subjective judgment and will depend primarily on the results of the immediately preceding stage.

During this exploration stage, our president will only be devoting approximately six to eight 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 has been and will continue to be performed by outside consultants. Additionally, we will not have a need to hire any employees over the next twelve months; nor do we plan to make any purchases of equipment over the next twelve months due to reliance upon outside consultants to provide all equipment needed for the exploratory work being conducted.

We anticipate that we will incur over the next twelve months the following expenses:

We do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the costs of our proposed exploration program and to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We also require additional financing in order to proceed with any additional work beyond Phase I of our exploration program.

We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for exploration work beyond Phase I of our exploration program, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with exploration work beyond Phase II of our exploration program.

Net Increase (decrease) in Cash During Period

(78)

The decline in our working capital surplus at January 31, 2010 from the period ended July 31, 2009 is reflective of the current state of our business development, primarily due to the decrease in our professional fees paid, due to lack of available funding,  in connection with our planned exploration program.

As of, January 31, 2010, we had cash on hand of $0. Since our inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our operations and for our property acquisitions. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report to our audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2009, that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.




                                                                       5


Future Financings

We have incurred a net loss of $83,275 for the period from May 7, 2008 (inception) to January 31, 2010 and have no revenues to date. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral claims. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock 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 of additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing for to fund our planned business activities.

We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for exploration work beyond Phase II of our exploration program, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with exploration work beyond Phase II of our exploration program.

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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements presented with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at January 31, 2010 and for all periods presented in the attached financial statements, have been included. Interim results for the three month and three-month period ended January 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2009

Exploration Stage Enterprise

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (“SFAS 7”), “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as we devote substantially all of our efforts to acquiring and exploring mineral properties in Nevada,. Until such properties are acquired and developed, we will continue to prepare our financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage.




                                                                     6

Cost of Maintaining Mineral Properties

We do not accrue the estimated future costs of maintaining our mineral properties in good standing.

Mineral Property Acquisition Payments and Exploration Costs

We record our interest in mineral properties at cost. We expense all costs incurred on mineral properties to which we have secured exploration rights, other than acquisition costs, prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. If and when proven and probably reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized.

We regularly perform evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of our investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Exploration Expenditures

We follow a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until a production decision in respect of the project and we are reasonably assured that it will receive regulatory approval to permit mining operations which may include the receipt of a legally binding project approval certificate.

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its investments in mineral leases and claims with internal and external mining related professionals. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand a specific project is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of mineral deposits, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated future costs of exploring, developing and operating a production mine, the expiration term and ongoing expenses of maintaining mineral properties and the general likelihood that we will continue exploration on such project. We do not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven deposits, however, properties which have not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are reevaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted, whether there has been any impairment in value and that their carrying values are appropriate.

If an area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs are charged against operations in the year of abandonment or determination of value. The amounts recorded as mineral leases and claims represent costs to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

Our exploration activities and proposed mine development are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

The accumulated costs of properties that are developed in the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations through unit-of-production depletion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its mineral leases and claims and our ability to obtain final government permission to complete the project.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

We have yet to attain profitable operations and because we will need additional financing to fund our exploration activities, our accountants believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

We have incurred a net loss of $83,275 for the period from (inception) to January 31, 2010, and have no revenues to date. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral claims. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail

Our current operating funds are insufficient to complete the proposed exploration program; however, they will be insufficient to complete the full exploration of the mineral claims and begin mining efforts should the mineral claims prove commercially viable. Therefore, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our full business plan. As of January 31, 2010, we had cash in the amount of $0. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mineral claims. We require additional financing to complete and proceed past Phase II of our exploration program. We may also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of our mineral claims are greater than anticipated. We may also require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for the mineral property and metals. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

Since this is an exploration project, we face a high risk of business failure due to our inability to predict the success of our business

We have just begun the initial stages of exploration of our mineral claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate the business successfully. We were incorporated on May 7, 2008 and, to date, have been involved primarily in the acquisition of the mineral claims, obtaining a summary geological report and engaged in organizational activities.





                                                                          8

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure

Investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be incurred by us in the exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of Phases II and III of our exploration program do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may

decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.

We have no known mineral reserves and if we cannot find any we will have to cease operations

We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find a mineral reserve containing gold or if we cannot explore the mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations and investors may lose their investment. Mineral exploration, particularly for gold, is highly speculative. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. The chances of finding reserves on our mineral properties are remote and funds expended on exploration will likely be lost.

Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.



                                                                                 9

Because access to our mineral claims may be restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration

Access to the Pyramid Prospect may be restricted through some of the year due to weather in the area. As a result, any attempt to test or explore the property is largely limited to the times when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts. Such delays can have a significant negative effect on our exploration efforts.

As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We will be subject to the laws of the State of Nevada as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. Our planned exploration program does not budget for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.

Because our executive officers do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk our business will fail

Our executive officers and directors, do not have any formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral exploration company. Our management lacks technical training and experience with exploring for, starting, and operating a mine. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry.

Because our Directors, own 60.36% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by our Directors are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders

Our directors and executive officers and owns 60.36% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of major corporate transactions or other matters that require shareholder approval such as mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.

We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case current shareholdings will be diluted

We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. The result of this could reduce the value of the stock of our shareholders. If we issue additional stock, shareholders’ percentage interest in us will be lower. This condition is often referred to as "dilution".

ITEM 3.                CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(A)

Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures

 

 

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that our disclosure control objectives are achieved. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective at providing this reasonable level of assurance as of the period covered, due to the fact that we have only one officer and director. In the future the company will endeavor to add another director with sufficient SEC and accounting related expertise, to provide adequate segregation of duties and financial accounting and reporting controls, which currently are significant deficiencies in our internal control. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended July 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

(B)

Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

 In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has determined that there have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
