Note 1 – Organization and summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation and Organization

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 210 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2012.  For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2011.

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 name change.

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

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 January 31, 2012, and 2011.

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 January 31, 2012, 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.

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 January 31, 2012, and July 31, 2011, and expenses for the quarters ended January 31, 2012, and 2011, and cumulative from inception.  Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Reclassification

For the three-month and six month periods ended January 31, 2012, certain items in 2010/2011 and cumulative from inception were reclassified to conform to the current 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 $1,573,931 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.

  a.
A total of $20,974 was expended on exploration and claim maintenance activities prior to the assignment of the Van-Ur Agreement to New America Energy Corp. as described below.  No further payments are required.

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;

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 day 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 would 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.   The Company has no further obligations in respect of the original Van-Ur Agreement of the assignment thereof.

Note 4 – 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 with the then accrued interest. The new consolidated loan was in the face amount of $250,000 plus $51,973 in accrued interest, unsecured, bore interest at 10 percent per annum, and was due on or before December 23, 2011.  On December 23, 2011, the combined principal and interest amounted to $301,973.

On January 9, 2012, effective December 23, 2011, the Company and the Lender agreed to convert the entire $301,973 principal and interest, based on the average closing price of the Borrower’s shares for the 10 trading days prior and up to the effective date of the conversion agreement, into restricted common stock of the Company.  The resultant quantity of shares amounted to 3,753,544 shares, which were issued in January 2012.

Note 5 – 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. Mr. Rud is also a principal with GeoXplor, with whom the Company has its property purchase agreement. 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 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 $16,048 being recorded.

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 in each period, which amount was $18,904 recorded as consulting expense during the three-month period ended January 31, 2012, leaving a pre-paid expense balance of $10,685.

Further to the Company’s Lithium Agreement with GeoXplor, detailed in Note 3 – Mineral Properties above, a cash payment of $100,000 was required on December 15, 2011.  On January 6, 2012, effective December 15, 2011, GeoXplor agreed to defer the payment until March 15, 2012, in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 compensation shares (issued January 2012 valued at $37,450), and the further issuance of 500,000 shares (issued January 2012 valued at $28,500) to be held by GeoXplor as security against the Payment. Upon fulfilling the Payment obligations within the extension, these security shares are to be returned to the Company for cancellation.  If the Company does not complete in full the Payment obligation before March 15, 2012, such shares may be sold by GeoXplor with the proceeds applied towards any remaining amounts owing.   If there are proceeds in excess of the amounts owing, the excess shall be applied as a pre-payment towards exploration work obligations under the Lithium Agreement.

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 January 31, 2012, our cash balance was $1,436, 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 November 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012.

As of January 31, 2012, our total current assets are $535,324 ($690,518 - July 31, 2011).  Our current liabilities are $183,829 ($439,009 – July 31, 2011).  This results in a working capital position of $351,495 ($251,509 – July 31, 2011).  This increase in working capital is primarily as a result of a) the addition of a security deposit in the amount of $28,500 ($nil – July 31, 2011) related to 500,000 shares issued to GeoXplor as security against a pending property payment, and; b) a decrease in combined accrued liabilities and loan to $nil from $290,992 on July 31, 2011, with the settlement of the Company’s note payable and accrued interest via the issuance of 3,753,544 shares.  These improvements in the working capital position were offset by a) a decrease in prepaid expenses from $440,942 at July 31, 2011 to $335,388 in January 31,2012 with the rendering of prepaid consulting services; b) a decrease in the Company’s cash position from $74,576 to $1,436 at January 31, 2012 by virtue of meeting its current overhead obligations, property claim fees, and costs of financing vehicles, and; c) an increase in accounts payable (trade and related party) from $138,526 at July 31, 2011 to $174,068 at the end of the current period, primarily due to costs associated with consulting and IR contracts.

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 and property payment / work program obligations.  At present, we anticipate our funding requirements to be approximately $950,000.   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 March 2012), and a further $350,000 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.

Subsequent to the end of the period, on February 23, 2011, the Company closed a convertible note financing in the amount of $205,000, of which $102,500 ($90,000 net of finance and legal costs) gross was received prior to the filing of this report, and a further $102,500 gross ($90,000 net of finance and legal costs) is expected prior to March 22, 2012.   This financing is part of a total $700,000 contemplated over the next five months, subject to the Company progressing with its planned exploration program and the parties further agreeing to final terms on the remaining amounts.

There is no assurance we will be able to identify or acquire these additional funds, or additional 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 January 31, 2012 were reduced to $156,938 ($204,896 – January 31, 2011), largely due to our exploration costs being $nil ($44,000 – January 31, 2011).

Our operating expenses for the six-month period ending January 31, 2012 were $352,413 ($400,401 – January 31, 2011), mostly due to our exploration costs being reduced to $10,125 ($91,272 – January 31, 2011), this was offset by our professional fees increasing to $63,314 ($30,620 – January 31, 2011) associated with the additional costs in the amending of the 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.

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.

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 January 31, 2012.  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 January 31, 2012, 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 January 31, 2012:

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;

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 January 31, 2012, 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 January 31, 2012, 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 temporary 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 January 31, 2012, 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.

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

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

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.
 
 
For this total 136,364 shares, the Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

On January 11, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for the provision of non-exclusive financial advisor, investment bank and placement agent services to the Company.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company was required to issue 350,000 shares, which were issued in January 2012, and valued at $24,675.

For this total 350,000 shares, the Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

According to the Company’s Lithium Agreement with GeoXplor, detailed in Note 3 – Mineral Properties above, 250,000 shares valued at $16,250 were issuable on the second anniversary of the Agreement, December 24 2011, which shares were issued in January 2012.

Further to the Company’s Lithium Agreement with GeoXplor, detailed in Note 3 – Mineral Properties above, a cash payment of $100,000 was required on December 15, 2011.  On January 6, 2012, effective December 15, 2011, GeoXplor agreed to defer the payment until March 15, 2012, in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 compensation shares (issued January 2012 valued at $37,450), and the further issuance of 500,000 shares (issued January 2012 valued at $28,500) to be held by GeoXplor as security against the Payment. Upon fulfilling the Payment obligations within the extension, these security shares are to be returned to the Company for cancellation.  If the Company does not complete in full the Payment obligation before March 15, 2012, such shares may be sold by GeoXplor with the proceeds applied towards any remaining amounts owing.   If there are proceeds in excess of the amounts owing, the excess shall be applied as a pre-payment towards exploration work obligations under the Lithium Agreement.

For this total 1,250,000 shares issued to GeoXplor, the Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

On December 23, 2011, the maturity date of a note held by the Company with an unrelated third party, the combined principal and interest of the note amounted to $301,973.  On January 9, 2012, effective December 23, 2011, the Company and the Lender agreed to convert the entire $301,973 principal and interest, based on the average closing price of the Borrower’s shares for the 10 trading days prior and up to the effective date of the conversion agreement, into restricted common stock of the Company.  The resultant quantity of shares amounted to 3,753,544 shares, which were issued in January 2012.

On December 16, 2011, the Company received a total of $15,000 from the proceeds of the sale of 187,500 shares of its common stock under a private placement agreement, priced at $0.08 / share, which shares were issued in January 2012.  The purchaser has received 187,500 warrants, each with the right to purchase a share at the price of $0.08/share, valid through to December 15, 2013.

The 3,753,544 and 187,500 shares were in compliance with the exemption from the registration requirements found in Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933. The offer and sale to the purchaser was made in an offshore transaction as defined by Rule 902(h). No directed selling efforts were made in the U.S. as defined in Rule 902(c). The offer and sale to the purchaser was not made to a U.S. person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. The following conditions were present in the offer and sale: a) The purchaser of the securities certified that it is not a U.S. person and did not acquire the shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person; b) The purchaser has agreed to resell the securities only in compliance with Regulation S pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration; and has agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to the securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act; c) The purchaser has acknowledged and agreed with the Company that the Company shall refuse registration of any transfer of the securities unless made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration and; d) The purchaser has represented that it is acquiring the shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the shares in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. No commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Company in connection with the issuance of these shares.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

Board of Directors: Subsequent to the period ending January 31, 2012, on March 9, 2012, the Company received notice of the resignation of John Hoak, director, effective as of the date of the notice provided.  The Company will not be exercising any clawback provisions under its agreement with Mr. Hoak. The Company is very grateful for Mr. Hoak’s important contributions during the preceding two years, and wishes him the greatest success in his other ventures.

The Company will be seeking to add additional members to its board of directors in the near future as it seeks to accelerate its exploration and development objectives.

Financing:  Subsequent to the end of the period, on February 23, 2012, the Company closed a convertible debenture financing in the amount of $205,000, of which $102,500 ($90,000 net of finance and legal costs) gross was received prior to the filing of this report (“Note 1”), and a further $102,500 gross ($90,000 net of finance and legal costs) is expected prior to March 22, 2012 (“Note 2”), together the “Notes”.   These Notes are part of a total $700,000 finance contemplated over the next five months, subject to the Company progressing with its planned exploration program and the parties further agreeing to final terms on the remaining $500,000.

Note 1 and Note 2 bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and are due within one year of issuance, February 23, 2013, and March 7, 2013, respectively.  The terms on both Notes are identical otherwise.  The Notes may be converted, in whole or in part, into common shares of the Company. The Conversion Price will be sixty-five percent (65%) of the average of the two (2) lowest trading prices during the ten (10) trading days prior to conversion.  For defaults this note is immediately due and payable and subject to a penalty interest rate of twenty percent (20%).  The Notes may be prepaid according to the following schedule: Within ninety (90) days of the date of execution, they may be prepaid for one hundred twenty percent (120%) of face value plus accrued interest. Between ninety (90) and one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of execution, they may be prepaid for one hundred forty percent (140%) of face value plus accrued interest. After one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of execution until the Due Date, the Notes may not be prepaid without written consent from the lender.  The Company has placed into escrow five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of New America Energy Corp common stock as collateral for the Notes. In the event that the note is paid down or the principal amount is decreased through conversions, the collateral will be released by Purchaser on a pro rata basis in one hundred thousand (100,000) share increments.

The Company has paid $10,000 as a cost of finance from Note 1, and is required to do the same for Note 2.  Furthermore, the Company is required to grant to the Agent warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to six (6%) percent of the value of such transactions for successful common stock equity raised at 100% of the price at the closing of such transaction for a period of two (2) years, and/or to grant Agent warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to six (6%) percent of the value of such transactions for successful preferred stock, debt, hybrid debt of any kind (convertibles, warrants, etc.) or debt and equity combination raised at 100% of the price at the closing of such transaction for a period of two (2) years. These stocks shall be delivered in cashless exercise and issuable from the investment closing date up to no more than five (5) years from the date and upon exercise thereof shall be fully paid and non-assessable. As of the date of this report, the warrants have not been granted, but are anticipated to be granted upon the completion of Note 2, and estimated to, in total, the right to purchase 240,000 shares of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.05 / share.
