NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation

Colombia Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and operating metallurgical coal assets in the Republic of Colombia, South America. The Company owns coal mining concession contracts, which grant us the right to explore and exploit coal deposits, in the departments of Boyacá and Santander, areas well-known for their metallurgical coal formations, and is currently operating and developing metallurgical coal mines and conducting exploration of our coal deposits.

Although the Company commenced limited production in December 2011, it is still considered an exploration stage company under the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) since it has not yet demonstrated the existence of proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC, at its Rukú Mining Complex in Socota, Colombia or at any of its other properties. As a result, and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for exploration stage companies, all expenditures for exploration and evaluation of the Company’s properties are expensed as incurred and unless mineralized material is classified as proven or probable reserves, substantially all expenditures for mine and exploration activities have been and will continue to be expensed as incurred. Certain expenditures, such as for mining equipment or other general-purpose equipment, may be capitalized, subject to evaluation of the possible impairment of the asset. The Company expects to remain as an exploration stage company for the foreseeable future. The Company will not exit the exploration stage unless and until it demonstrates the existence of proven or probable reserves that meet the SEC guidelines.

The definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7. Proven reserves are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; (b) grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling; and (c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established. Probable reserves are reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. In addition, reserves cannot be considered proven and probable until they are supported by a feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are economically and legally extractable at the time of the reserve determination.

The Company’s current operations are focused on production, exploration and development activities. The Company has retained leading engineering and geological services firms in the U.S. and Colombia to conduct exploration work in selected concessions owned by the Company. The Company’s team of executives, advisors and partners is comprised of experienced entrepreneurs and business professionals in U.S. and Colombia that have a broad breadth of experience in coal mining and substantial industry relationships.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company owns 100% of Colombia Clean Power S.A.S. (formerly known as Energia Andina Santander Resources S.A.S.), a Colombian company established to acquire and develop coal concessions. Colombia Clean Power S.A.S.’ corporate offices are located in Bogota, Colombia.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Company History and Basis of Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012. The accompanying (a) consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to SEC Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. As a result, while the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading, certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.

The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2012, and its consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 6, 1996 under the name “Freedom Resources Enterprises, Inc.” to engage in the business of self-help publications and workshops. Between November 1996 and September 2005 the Company generated minimal revenues, and in October 2005, the Company ceased all business operations. From October 2005 to early May 2010, the Company did not engage in any business activities. Prior to this period, the Company’s management had been evaluating potential business opportunities that might be available to the Company to preserve its shareholders’ investment in its common shares.

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with LIFE Power & Fuels, LLC (“LIFE”), pursuant to which it issued to LIFE 19,080,000 (post-split) shares of its common stock, which shares represented approximately 94.1% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at such time, elected one new director to its board of directors and changed its management team. Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, the Company ceased to be a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and adopted a new plan of operations. Subsequently, LIFE sold approximately 4,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock to certain related parties. Also, in March 2011, LIFE distributed 2,159,996 shares of the Company’s common stock to LIFE’s limited partner investors. As of June 30, 2012, LIFE owned approximately 26.1% (adjusted for dilution of shares) of the outstanding shares of the Company.

On July 28, 2010, the Company affected a reverse stock split of two shares for every five shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, outstanding shares and share price of common stock and stock options were adjusted to account for the effects of the reverse stock split.

Effective July 28, 2010, the Company changed its name from Freedom Resources Enterprises, Inc. to “Colombia Clean Power & Fuels, Inc.”

In June 2011 we completed a non-public offering of units in which each unit consisted of 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at any time and a five-year stock purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 3,500 shares of Common Stock for $0.01 per share. Certain holders of 10% convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $7,305,000 converted their notes into 730,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and were also granted warrants to purchase 255,675 shares of our common stock. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,022,175 shares of Common Stock in consideration of aggregate cash proceeds of $22,000,000. Aggregate cash fees of $1,139,855 were paid to the placement agents. In addition, the placement agents were issued five-year warrants, substantially similar to the warrants sold in the offering, to purchase an aggregate of 480,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The securities sold in this offering have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

On September 6, 2011, shareholders owning a majority of the voting control of the Company authorized, by written consent, an amendment to the articles of incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Colombia Clean Power & Fuels, Inc.” to “Colombia Energy Resources, Inc.” and authorized the change of domicile of the Company from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware through the merger of the Company with and into a Delaware corporation formed solely for the purpose of changing domicile. The effective date of the change of domicile and name change was November 4, 2011.

On November 7, 2011, the quotation of the Company’s common stock on the OTC QX was approved.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses since the date of inception that resulted in an accumulated deficit attributable to common stockholders of $32,926,828 as of June 30, 2012. At that date, the Company had $2,460,879 of available cash, which is not adequate to meet its capital expenditures and operating requirements over the next 12 months (please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources on page 24 for additional information). Accordingly, the Company is dependent upon obtaining funds from investors. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of notes or shares of stock in the second half of 2012 in order to meet its capital expenditures and operating requirements. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the additional funds it needs. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no cash equivalents.

Other Current Assets and Other Assets

Other current assets and other assets include direct expenses incurred, including the fair value of stock warrants issued to brokers, as a result of the Company’s Note financing (see Note 4). Placement agent fees and other direct costs incurred in this transaction have been amortized over the life of the Notes. As of June 30, 2012, these costs have been fully amortized.

Inventory

As of June 30, 2012, inventory principally consists of raw coal extracted from the Ruku mine and is carried at the lower of cost or market. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment, operating overhead and other related costs.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which include ten mining concessions in the states of Santander and Boyaca, Colombia and construction in progress, are stated at cost. Mining concessions will be amortized using the units-of-production method based upon recoverable proven and probable reserves of the mine and when the Company commences operation at a specific concession. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset of 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that trigger a test for recoverability include material adverse changes in projected revenues and expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges during the periods presented.

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs

The Company accounts for mineral exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 930, Extractive Activities- Mining. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures to acquire new mines (e.g. purchase of mining concessions), to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and will be amortized on a units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company follows ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, which applies to obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction and development of assets. ASC 410-20 requires that we record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.

Derivative Instruments

The Company issued convertible notes payable that were considered hybrid financial instruments that blend the characteristics of both equity and debt securities. They embodied settlement alternatives available to the holder providing for either redemption of the principal and interest for cash at maturity (“Forward Component”) or conversion into the Company’s common stock (“Embedded Conversion Feature” or “ECF”). The convertible notes payable also embodied contingent equity-linked share price protections on the ECF in the form of down-round, anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price during the term to maturity. The Company determined that the convertible notes payable contain an embedded derivative feature that is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The embedded conversion feature has been carried at fair value and marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. The Company uses the binomial lattice model to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion feature. See Note 4.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company and its wholly-owned Dutch and Spanish subsidiaries, Energia Andina Santander Resources Coop UA and Energia Andina Resources España, S.L., maintain accounting records using U.S. dollars. Colombia Clean Power S.A.S., the Company’s principal Colombian subsidiary, maintains accounting records in Colombian Pesos.

The financial statements of Colombia Clean Power S.A.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital account is translated at the historical exchange rate prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are presented as currency translation adjustment within the “consolidated statements of stockholders equity”. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from the translation of the financial statements expressed in Colombian Pesos to U.S. dollars is reported as a currency translation adjustment and as a component of “other comprehensive income (loss)” in the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share are presented in accordance with the provisions of the ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC No. 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share.

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method. The basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, because the Company was in a net loss position.

The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2012 do not include the underlying shares exercisable with respect to the 1,651,100 outstanding warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share. However, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic loss per share in accordance with ASC No. 260.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding stock warrants, restricted stock units, and stock options exercisable to purchase, and convertible preferred stock that were convertible into an aggregate of 21,723,139 shares of common stock that were considered anti-dilutive because of the net loss.

Segments

The Company operates in one business segment. The Company and its subsidiaries’ assets are located primarily in the United States of America and in Colombia.

As of June 30, 2012, long-term assets of approximately $12,000,000 and $900,000 are in Colombia and in the United States, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, long-term assets of approximately $10,600,000 and $800,000 were in Colombia and in the United States, respectively.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company generated $823 in revenue from coal sales in Colombia.

Reclassification

Certain balances in the prior period’s financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions to minimize credit risk; however, the Company may periodically exceed federal deposit insurance limits.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain positions based upon the provisions of ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company accounts for interest and penalties generated by income tax contingencies as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to foreign taxation.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee requisite service period, which is generally four years. The Company’s stock compensation is generally accounted for as an equity instrument.

ASC No. 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value due to their relative short maturities. Based on borrowing rates available to the Company, the convertible notes payable approximate their fair value. The fair value of derivative liability was determined using Level 3 inputs described below.

The Company adopted amendments to the accounting standard addressing the measurement of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair values of all reported assets and liabilities that represent financial instruments, the Company uses the carrying market values of such amounts. The standard establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1–instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Level 2–instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

Level 3–instrument valuations are obtained without observable market values and require a high-level of judgment to determine the fair value.

At June 30, 2012, the Company’s only previous financial liability, embedded conversion feature, was carried at fair value of $0 using Level 3 inputs, because the notes matured in the period ended June 30, 2012. The following table shows the changes in Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012:

	Derivative
	Liability -
	Embedded
	Conversion			Total
	Feature			Level 3
Balance, December 31, 2011	$	264,000		$	264,000

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, that are of significance to the Company.

ACQUISITION OF MINING ASSETS

North Block Mining Project

On July 19, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase two coal concessions (Ingeominas Titles GG7-111 and GG7-11522X). The concessions have been fully paid for and are listed under the Company’s name on the official website of the Colombian mining authority, Ingeominas. Under the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the sellers a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by our Company from these concessions.

On October 20, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an additional coal concession (Ingeominas title FLG-092). The Company has paid to the seller $515,000 and owes an additional $1,000,000 payable in five quarterly payments of $200,000. A portion of these amounts will offset against the per ton royalty described below. In addition, the Company has paid to Ingeominas $114,502, which represents past due governmental fees owed by the seller. Also, as per the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the seller a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by our Company from this concession; 50% of this royalty will be applied to amortize the $1,200,000 in concession payments.

Otanche Mining Project

On February 11, 2011, the Company made a deposit of $100,000 to purchase three additional coal concessions in the state of Boyaca, Colombia. The aggregate purchase price of these concessions was $2,500,000, of which $888,862 has been paid as of June 30, 2012. An amount of $222,277 was due upon the Colombian Institute of Mining and Geology’s approval of a third mining license; this was paid on January 15, 2012. An amount of $111,138 is due upon the earlier of the recording and publication of the assignment in the National Mining Register or 90 days following the prior payment and the balance of $1,500,000 is payable in three payments of approximately $500,000 every 6 months thereafter. There will also be an ongoing royalty payment to the sellers of $2.75 per ton of coal mined.

Rukú Mining Complex

On August 22, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a 70% working interest in two coal mining concessions located near Socota, Colombia from Howerd Milton Cubides Botia (the “Assignor”). The agreement also included the right to a concession being permitted and another one in the process of being purchased. These concessions cover approximately 222 acres and included a coal mine that has been operating for eighteen years producing metallurgical coal for the local market. In October 2011, the agreement was amended with both parties agreeing that the Assignor would continue to provide capital and operating expenditures on the mining property through October 18, 2011. Thereafter, the Company gained operating control of the mining properties. Operating funds will be provided by each party in proportion to its interest in the mining concessions, provided that the Company has agreed to fund the project in full and receive 50% of the proceeds allocable to the Assignor until the additional funds provided by us are repaid.

The acquisition was considered to be a purchase of a business and was accounted for as a purchase business combination effective when the Company obtained control of the mining assets on October 18, 2011. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on October 18, 2011, the date when the Company obtained control of the mining assets.

The cost of acquiring the 70% interest is based on a series of contingent payments over the next three years related to the number of proven tons of reserves as determined by an independent engineer’s review of our exploration program multiplied by certain dollar amounts per ton. The Company initially paid $500,000 to the Assignor upon signing of the agreement in August 2011. Upon obtaining control on October 18, 2011, the Company determined the fair value at October 18, 2011 of the mining rights and other assets acquired, net of liabilities to be $4,540,828. This was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation was as follows:

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
Property and equipment	$	827,238
Concession mining rights		3,484,000
Goodwill		230,264
Taxes payable		(674	)
	$	4,540,828

Total Purchase Price
Cash paid	$	500,000
Contingent earnout liabilities		2,678,580
Noncontrolling interest		1,362,248
	$	4,540,828

On February 2, 2012, our Colombian subsidiary entered into a contract with Dairo Ruben Herrera Perez and Ariel Salcedo Leal in connection with the assignment of mining concession contract FI7-081. The concession is adjacent to our Rukú Mining Complex and will allow more efficient access to Rukú’s coal resources and ultimately, lower operating costs and improved safety. The concession has 17 hectares (42 acres) and metallurgical coal resources similar in quality to Rukú’s. Its permit, FI7-081, is currently in the construction or preoperative phase. Compensation for the property includes $167,079 paid at signing of the agreement on February 3, 2012 and additional $111,386 due upon governmental approval of the concession’s transfer to our Colombian subsidiary, which the Company anticipates later this year.

Boavita Mining Project

On October 7, 2011, our Colombian subsidiary entered into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Americana de Minerales de Exploracion S.A.S. (“AMERALEX”) for the option to purchase all of the rights of AMERALEX in mining concession FFB-081 covering approximately 1,550 hectares (approximately 3,830 acres) located in the jurisdiction of the Municipalities of Boavita and La Uvita, Department of Boyacá, Republic of Colombia (the “Boavita Mining Concession”). Once INGEOMINAS approves the mining plan, we have up to 24 months to conduct exploration of the entire concession, evaluate and characterize the coal deposit, and exercise the option. The purchase price will be determined based upon the determination of proven and probable reserves using standard methodology. We are obligated to pay an agreed amount upon reaching a firm purchase arrangement and approval of the mining plan. We are obligated to pay an agreed amount nine months after the first payment. Upon completion of the exploration work, and if we exercise the option to acquire the concession, we are obligated to make an additional payment. Beginning 30 months after the initial payment under the Agreement, we are obligated to make annual payments; however, the total aggregate purchase price will be limited to the final calculation of proven and probable reserves, not to exceed an agreed maximum amount.

On December 27, 2011, we entered into an operations agreement with AMERALEX which allows for the immediate start of mining operations on the Boavita Mining Concession once INGEOMINAS, the Colombian state mining authority, approves the mining plan, which occurred on March 13, 2012. As compensation to AMERALEX for this right, we paid $100,000 on the date the agreement was entered into and have agreed to pay $150,000 upon approval of the agreement by our company’s board of directors. We have also agreed to pay AMERALEX a 5% royalty on monthly sales, 50% of which will be offset by the $250,000 in upfront payments. On March 15, 2012 the agreement was amended to extend its term 90 days and further define the manner in which the royalty is calculated.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,943,456 and $1,697,875 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are broken down as follows:

	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Accounts payable	$	467,403	$	601,128
Mining concessions payable (current portion)		1,319,285		1,018,699
Accrued payroll		156,768		78,048
TOTAL	$	1,943,456	$	1,697,875

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In multiple closings, the most recent taking place on December 21, 2010, the Company issued $8,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). The proceeds of the Notes offering were used to fund exploration-stage activities of the Company, including the identification, analysis and negotiation for coal resources in Colombia that meet the Company’s criteria for mining, processing and export potential.

The Notes are secured by the Company’s interest in the business operation of its subsidiary in Colombia. The Notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 10%. Principal and interest were due on June 30, 2012 and paid on and shortly thereafter that date. An amount of $430,000 was outstanding as of June 30, 2012, and was paid in full in July 2012.

The notes were considered hybrid financial instruments that blend characteristics of both equity and debt securities. They embodied settlement alternatives available to the holder providing for either redemption of the principal and interest for cash at maturity (“Forward Component”) or conversion into the Company’s common stock (“Embedded Conversion Feature” or “ECF”). The Notes also embodied contingent equity-linked share price protections on the ECF in the form of down-round, anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price during the term to maturity. As a result, the Company determined that the Notes contained certain embedded derivative features. The Company’s evaluation resulted in the conclusion that the compound derivative financial instrument required bifurcation and separately accounted for the embedded conversion option as a derivative liability, carried at fair value and marked-to-market each reporting period. The aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $3,072,000 on the date of issuance of the Notes. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $0 and $264,000 respectively. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature liability pertaining to the Notes that was converted to preferred stock was adjusted as an increase in preferred stock. The initial value of the embedded conversion feature was recorded as discount in notes payable and has been accreted to interest expense method through the maturity or conversion date of the Notes. The balance of the unamortized discount related to the ECF was $0 and $75,366 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

At the closings of the Notes issuance, the Company also issued to the Notes investors five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The total number of outstanding warrants issued in the Notes offering was 676,000 and 726,000 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively. The stock warrants were initially recorded as discount on notes payable and were allocated based upon their relative fair values on the date of the issuance, which aggregated to $2,388,790. The fair value of the stock warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The discount in notes payable is being amortized to interest expense through the maturity or conversion date of the Notes. The portion of unamortized discount pertaining to the Notes that were converted to preferred stock was adjusted as a reduction to preferred stock. The balance of the unamortized discount related to the warrants was $0 and $15,282 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Subscription Agreement with LIFE

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with LIFE. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of 19,080,000 (post-split) shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock to LIFE for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, which funds were used to eliminate the Company’s then current liabilities. The Shares represented 94.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the transaction, and the transaction resulted in a change in control of the Company.

Reverse Stock Split

On July 28, 2010, the Company executed a reverse stock split of its common stock in which two new shares of common stock were issued for every five shares of common stock held as of the date of the reverse stock split. This reverse split has been applied retrospectively in the consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Series A Preferred Stock

On June 1, 2011, the first closing of a private placement of a minimum of 200 units and a maximum of 300 units for a purchase price of $100,000 per unit was completed. Each Unit consists of 10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which shares initially are convertible into an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at any time and a five-year stock purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 3,500 shares of Common Stock for $.01 per share. At the first closing of the offering, certain holders of 10% convertible promissory notes converted their notes into shares of Series A Preferred Stock and were also granted warrants to purchase shares of common stock at the rate of 3,500 shares for each $100,000 aggregate principal amount of notes converted. In the first closing, an aggregate of 2,920,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,022,175 shares of Common Stock were issued, in consideration of aggregate cash proceeds of $22,000,000 and the conversion of notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7,305,000. Holders of the Series A preferred stock are entitled to certain rights and preferences over the common stock as described below. Aggregate cash fees of $1,139,855 were paid to the placement agents at the first closing. In addition, the placement agents were issued five-year warrants, substantially similar to the warrants sold in the offering, to purchase an aggregate of 480,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Dividends are payable on the Series A Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Rate, which is originally $10.00) of 9% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. For dividend payment dates occurring prior to June 1, 2013, the dividend is payable one-third in cash and two-thirds in common stock. Thereafter, the dividend is payable, at the option of the Company, either 100% in cash or one-third in cash and two-thirds in stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock votes with the common stock as a single class and each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder's option into a number of shares of our common stock equal to $10.00 divided by the conversion price (initially $2.00), or initially five shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations.

The Series A Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory conversion by the company commencing November 30, 2012, if the closing bid price of the company’s common stock exceeds 2.5 times the then-applicable conversion price for 60 consecutive days. The Series A Preferred Stock is also subject to mandatory conversion beginning on the date that 60% or more of the shares of Series A Preferred issued on June 1, 2011 have been converted to common stock through voluntary conversion.

The Amended Certificate of Designation provides that in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding would be entitled to receive, out of assets available for distribution to stockholders, before any payment is made or any assets distributed to the holders of our common stock or any other class or series of preferred stock that is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per share of the Series A Preferred Stock equal to $15.00 as a liquidation preference. A consolidation or merger with another entity or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets under specified circumstances would be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company. However, these events are solely within Company control.

Stock Options

The Company is seeking to recruit and retain experienced professionals from the global energy, natural resource development and mining industries. The Company will seek to offer compensation that is commensurate with the qualifications of future employees and advisors, including the ability to offer equity participation with vesting provisions typical of early-stage public companies. On May 12, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), which gives the Company the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and stock bonuses (collectively, “Awards”) to employees or consultants of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company and to non-employee members of the Company’s board of directors of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. The Incentive Plan was amended on August 31, 2011.

The Board of Directors has authorized 6,133,334 shares of common stock for issuance under the Incentive Plan. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Company common stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which the Board of Directors may grant awards, appropriate adjustments will be made to the shares subject to the Incentive Plan and to any outstanding Awards. Shares available for Awards under the Incentive Plan may be either newly-issued shares or treasury shares. If an Award or portion thereof shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unexercised shares covered by such Award shall be available for future grants of Awards under the Incentive Plan.

The aggregate grant date fair value of stock option awards granted was determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model (Black-Scholes) to estimate fair value of its stock-based awards. Black-Scholes requires various judgmental assumptions, including estimating stock price volatility, expected option life and forfeiture rates. If the Company had made different assumptions, the amount of its deferred stock-based compensation, stock-based compensation expense, net loss and net loss per share amounts could have been significantly different. The Company believes that it has used reasonable methodologies, approaches and assumptions to determine the fair value of its common stock and that deferred stock-based compensation and related amortization were recorded properly for accounting purposes. If any of the assumptions used change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

The following table sets forth the number of options granted and outstanding and the weighted average exercise price stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012:

						Weighted average
	Number of shares			Weighted average		remaining

Shares vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2012		3,918,034		$	2.82		4.5

The weighted-average exercise price per share for the options granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.10 per share and $3.17 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercisable during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $57,750 and $256,200, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the total intrinsic value of options exercised (i.e. the difference between the market price at exercise and the price paid by the employee to exercise the options) was $0 and $57,500, respectively, and the total amount of cash received from exercise of these options was $0 and $7,250, respectively. The total grant date fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Stock compensation expense was $490,268 and $596,478 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1,708,231for the cumulative period from November 6, 1996 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012.

Stock Warrants

The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of common stock to investors in the Notes offering. Of those warrants, 676,000 shares had not been exercised as of June 30, 2012. All of the warrants issued to investors in the Notes offering expire on June 30, 2015 and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The value of these warrants at issuance had been accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an increase in additional paid in capital.

In connection with the Notes financing, the Company issued stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 340,640 shares of common stock to the security brokers in the Notes offering on December 23, 2010. All of the warrants issued to the security brokers expire on December 20, 2015 and have an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

As part of the first closing of the Series A Preferred Stock Financing, the Company issued stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,025,675 shares of common stock to the investors in the Stock Financing on June 1, 2011. Of those warrants, 975,100 shares had not been exercised as of June 30, 2012. All of the warrants issued to the Series A preferred stock investors expire on June 1, 2016 and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. In addition, 480,000 in stock warrants were issued to security brokers in the stock offering. All of the warrants issued in connection with the Stock Financing expire on June 1, 2016 and have an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Except for the warrants issued to the holders of the converted notes payable, the fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of Series A preferred stock and to the security brokers was reported as an increase and decrease in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of the Notes that were converted to Series A preferred stock was estimated at $682,753 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and was accounted for as an increase in additional paid-in capital and expense.

A summary of the stock warrants activity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 is presented below:

Restricted Stock Units

The Board of Directors has authorized a compensation plan for non-employee directors of the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Under the plan directors would receive cash compensation of $4,000 per month and $6,250 per month for the Chairman. In addition, each non-employee board member would receive restricted stock in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for each year of service based upon the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The RSUs would be granted on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. The vesting period for the restricted stock units would expire at end of the director’s term which would normally be the next annual meeting of shareholders.

On January 3, 2012, RSU’s of 214,200 were awarded to the non-employee directors of the Company. The RSU’s vested on the date of the annual shareholders meeting which was May 8, 2012.

However, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing loss per share in accordance with ASC No. 260.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At June 30, 2012, LIFE owned approximately 26.1% (adjusted for dilution of shares) of the outstanding shares of the Company.

As described in Note 4, the Company had a convertible note payable to LIFE totaling $80,000 as of December 31, 2010. The note was converted to preferred shares as part of the Stock Financing.

On August 3, 2010, the Company entered into a 3-year management and services agreement with LIFE pursuant to which LIFE agreed to provide certain corporate, financial, and merger and acquisition advisory services to the Company and assistance with securing equipment leases and other equipment financing through June 30, 2013. Under the terms of the contract, LIFE is paid a fee equal to the lesser of 1% of gross coal sales or $2 per ton of coal sold with a minimum monthly fee of $25,000 plus expenses. As of July 18, 2012, the fee was reduced to $12,500 per month. Total management fees and expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 were $178,299 compared with $160,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The accrued management fees payable as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $25,000 and $25,000, respectively, included in “Accounts Payable & Accrued Liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Mining Concessions

On July 19, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase two coal concessions (Ingeominas Titles GG7-111 and GG7-11522X). As of June 30, 2012, the concessions have been fully paid for and are listed under the Company’s name on the official website of the Colombian mining authority, Ingeominas. Under the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the sellers a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by the Company from these concessions.

On October 20, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an additional coal concession (Ingeominas title FLG-092) that forms the North Block Mining Project. The Company has paid to the seller $515,000 and owes an additional $1,000,000 payable in five quarterly payments of $200,000. In addition, the Company has paid to Ingeominas $114,502, which represents past due governmental fees owed by the seller. Also, as per the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the sellers a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by the Company from this concession.

On February 11, 2011, the Company deposited $100,000 for three additional coal concessions in the state of Boyaca, Colombia. The aggregate purchase price of these concessions was $2,500,000, of which $888,862 has been paid as of June 30, 2012. An amount of $222,277 was due upon the Colombian Institute of Mining and Geology’s approval of a third mining license; this was paid on January 15, 2012. An amount of $111,138 is due upon the earlier of the recording and publication of the assignment in the National Mining Register or 90 days following the prior payment and the balance of $1,500,000 is payable in three payments of approximately $500,000 every 6 months thereafter. There will also be an ongoing royalty payment to the sellers of $2.75 per ton of coal mined.

All the mining concessions are in the exploration phase. While in the exploration and construction phase, royalties to the government are owed based on the applicable minimum wage rate times the number of hectares. Once the concessions enter the production phase, royalties owed to the government are equal to 5% of revenues. Each concession has a 30 year production phase, less the total time spent in exploration and construction.

Management and Services Agreement with LIFE

On August 3, 2010, we entered into a Management and Services Agreement with LIFE Power & Fuels LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and one of our principal shareholders, pursuant to which LIFE agreed to provide certain corporate, financial, and merger and acquisition advisory services and assistance with securing equipment leases and other equipment financing. In exchange for its services, LIFE is entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to the lesser of 1% of our gross coal sales or $2 per ton of coal sold by us; provided, however, that such monthly fee shall not be less than $25,000. As of July 17, 2012, the fee was reduced to $12,500 per month. The term of the Management Agreement was initially 36 months, but the agreement shall automatically renew for successive 12-month periods unless it is terminated by either party in writing. Upon termination, and for a period of five years thereafter, LIFE will continue to be entitled to receive an amount equal to the lesser of 1% of our gross coal sales or $2 per ton of coal sold by us from all mines and coking facilities on concessions acquired or coke projects initiated during the term of the Management Agreement. During the initial term of this agreement, we have agreed to pay a minimum of $900,000 to LIFE.

Lease Commitments

The Company and its subsidiary in Colombia lease their current office facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire in 2016. The future minimum lease payments under these operating leases are as follows:

	Bogota Quantum		San Anselmo, CA		Minimum

Total	$	707,267	$	5,130	$	712,397

Asset Retirement Obligation

In Colombia, the Company is subject to certain environmental and regulatory obligations which will require the Company to restore the mine properties after the mining has been completed. Three months prior to the expected date of completion, the Company is required to provide a plan for restoration and abandonment and estimate its cost. At June 30, 2012 the Company has estimated its asset retirement obligation to be $42,942.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the unaudited interim financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of our balance sheets and statements of income. This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and our interim financial statements and accompanying notes to these financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statement Notice

The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, need for financing, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, ability to retain and recruit personnel, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “plans,” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.

Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this report. While it is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the cyclicality of the coal industry, global economic and political conditions, global productive capacity, customer inventory levels, changes in commodity pricing, changes in product costing, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, competitive technology positions and operating interruptions (including, but not limited to, labor disputes, leaks, fires, explosions, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, war and criminal or terrorist activities). Mining operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air and water quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls, all of which are subject to change and are becoming more stringent and costly to comply with. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those expected. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Description of Business

We currently engage in the business of acquiring and developing metallurgical coal mines in the Republic of Colombia, South America. We own and control mining concessions in the departments of Boyaca and Santander which were selected because of their large metallurgical coal resources and their location near the Magdalena River, which is expected in the near future to be a major shipping route for our coal to certain export markets.

Colombian coal is recognized worldwide for its high-heat-value, low-ash and low-sulfur contents. Investment and development of sustainable coal mining is an important priority for the Colombian government; coal is the nation’s second largest export item after oil. In Colombia, the sub-soils are owned by the state. Private companies operate coal mines under concession contracts with the state. Colombia is the world’s tenth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of coal, with an estimated 7 billion metric tons (“MT”) of recoverable reserves and 17 billion MT of potential reserves.

Business Developments

During the second quarter of 2012, we had the following major developments:

On July 19, 2012 our Colombian subsidiary Colombia Clean Power SAS (“CCP”) entered into an option contract covering mining concession contract FFB-081 and related assets. This contract replaces the earlier option contract for this concession signed on October 7, 2011. Under the new agreement we have until October 16, 2012, to complete preliminary geological and mining exploration work to determine whether the deposit has the expected mineral resources and to determine its operational and social viability. If this preliminary program does not conclude that the expected mineral resources are available or can be extracted economically, we have an additional 18 months, with an extra period of up to six months, to determine the probable and proven reserves existing within the deposit. We can exercise the option to purchase all of the rights and mining obligations of the concession and related assets through the completion of this exploratory work. This new contract establishes two different scenarios for payment of the concession and related assets transfer. The first is a $45,000,000 fixed price due in installments over four years; the second scenario is one where the purchase price determination is subject to the establishment of proven reserves through drilling and exploration. The purchase price is capped at $85,000,000. CCP has the option to choose either scenario by October 15, 2012. The new agreement does not affect the existing association contract dated March 15, 2012 for mining exploration on this concession.

As reported in the Company’s first quarter 2012 Form 10-Q, the Company resumed production at its Ruku Mining Complex on April 17, 2012, after being halted temporarily in February due to vandalism. Total coal production during the quarter ended, June 30, 2012 amounted to 2,219 tons.

During June and July 2012, the Company delivered approximately 3,000 tons of coal to a third-party customer, located in Boyaca. The Company currently has an Account Receivable of approximately $200,000 with this customer.

Exploration

Exploration of our properties for purposes of mine planning and resource evaluation is and will continue to be a high priority. The initial exploration work in each area has been concentrated along coal seam outcrops and in mine workings at Boavita and Rukú. At Otanche, general exploration drilling has been underway in part of the area for over one year.

Exploration Stage Company

We are considered an exploration stage company under the SEC criteria since we have not demonstrated the existence of proven or probable reserves at any of our properties. Accordingly, as required by the SEC guidelines and U.S. GAAP for companies in the exploratory stage, substantially all of our investment in mining properties to date have been expensed and therefore do not appear as assets on our balance sheet. We therefore also expensed exploration and development expenditures in the first six months of 2012 related to our properties. Certain expenditures, such as expenses for mining or other general purpose equipment, may be capitalized, subject to our evaluation of the possible impairment of the asset.

Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Our revenues since inception total $4,383 and we have a cumulative net loss of $21,862,924 from inception through June 30, 2012. We had revenue from coal sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaling $823 as compared to zero for the first six months of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our net loss was $6,464,004 compared to $6,859,286 for the same period in 2011. The decrease in our net loss was due to lower other expenses, principally lower net interest expense, and the absence of inducement expenses, which the Company incurred in the 2011 period, partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses, largely due to increased employee expense, outside professional services for mine engineering, legal, and accounting services related to our recommencing operations at Ruku, during the first quarter of 2012, as well as interest expense related to our Convertible Note offering completed in December 2010. Expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2012, consisted of $6,740,167 in general and administrative expense and total other income, net of $11,703. Expenses during the same period in 2011 consisted of $4,097,818 in general and administrative expenses and $2,761,468 in total other expenses, net, including $2,089,278 in net interest expense. Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $7,301,533 (or $0.29 per share) compared to a Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $16,094,804 (or $0.68 per share) in the six months ended June 30, 2011, based on weighted averages of 25,368,101 and 23,708,676 in shares outstanding during the respective periods.

At June 30, 2012, we had $2,460,879 in cash and $1,922,329 in working capital. At June 30, 2012, we also had total long term liabilities of $4,121,072. We anticipate funding our operating expenses with additional financings of debt and/or equity securities.

Management expects that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional capital to fund our operating expenses and anticipated growth. Our operating losses have been funded through the issuance of equity securities and borrowings. We will need additional funding in order to continue our business operations. Our cash balance as of July 31, 2012 was $933,000. While we have significantly reduced payroll and other costs, the cash balance is not sufficient to fund more than two months of operations. While we continually look for additional financing sources, in the current economic environment, the procurement of outside funding is extremely difficult and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or, if available, that such financing will be at a price that will be acceptable to us. Failure to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital would have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our longer-term business objectives, and would adversely affect our ability to continue operating as a going concern.

Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements

There are no 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 and Estimates

The following are the Companies critical accounting policies and estimates:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which include ten mining concessions in the departments of Santander and Boyaca Colombia and construction in progress, are stated at cost. Mining concessions will be amortized using the units-of-production method based upon recoverable proven and probable reserves of the mine and when the Company commences operation. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset of 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs

We account for mineral exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 930, Extractive Activities - Mining. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures to acquire new mines (e.g. purchase of mining concessions), to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and will be amortized on a units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

Share-Based Compensation

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the following risks and other information in this Quarterly Report, including the financial statements, as well as in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We have limited cash available for operations and if we are unable to secure additional funding quickly we may be unable to continue our current business operations.

As of July 31, 2012, we had approximately US$933,000 in cash available to fund our operations. We expect that these funds together with revenues from coal sales and anticipated funding from operations and equipment lease financing will be sufficient to meet our cash flow requirements for approximately two months. If we are unable to secure additional funding, we may not be able to continue our current operations or we may be required to change our current business plan. We presently do not have any sources of additional funding. We may be unable to secure additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis could prevent us from achieving our business objectives and could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our securities. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership of existing stockholders may be diluted and the securities that we may issue in the future may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common or preferred stock. Such securities may also be issued at a discount to the fair market value of our common stock, resulting in possible further dilution to the book value per share of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we could be subject to debt covenants that could place limitations on our operations and financial flexibility. Certain of our outstanding securities contain protections from issuances of additional securities below $2.00 per share which could result in additional shares being issued in the event of sales of equity or equity-linked securities below such price.

We have substantial commitments associated with the acquisition of our current mining properties which if not met could result in breach of the agreements and loss of the mining concessions.

During the period ending December 31, 2012, we have future obligations to pay an aggregate of approximately US$2,300,000 to satisfy the payment terms of the acquisition contracts for our current mining concessions. We do not have sufficient funds available to meet all of these obligations and will require additional funding to satisfy these contractual payments. Without the additional funding and if we are unable to negotiate more lenient payment terms, we may not be able to retain all of our mining concessions. We currently have no arrangements to extend any payments under these purchase contracts and there is no assurance that we would be able to negotiate such arrangements or if we are able to negotiate extensions of the required payments, that we would be able to do so under terms which would be acceptable or advantageous to us. Any arrangements to extend payments may require increased future payments or the issuance of additional consideration which could have a material negative effect on our future cash flow requirements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On June 12, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an arrangement whereby senior management and other employees, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, will take a portion of their salary, as determined by the CEO, in shares of common stock of the Company, for six months starting in July 2012. In addition, members of the Board of Directors will also take the entire cash portion of their board compensation in shares of common stock of the Company during this six-month period. The shares to be issued to directors and employees in lieu of cash compensation will be issued monthly in an amount equal to 1.25 times the value of the cash compensation based upon the prior three days average traded price prior to the issuance of the shares. The Board of Directors has granted authority to the CEO to lengthen the period of time during which stock may be issued in lieu of cash compensation by mutual agreement between the CEO and each member of senior management, employee or director. On July 1, 2012, 122,887 shares of common stock were issued to various employees and 60,026 shares of common stock were issued to the outside directors of the Company in lieu of cash compensation. Each of the recipients of Common Stock was an accredited investor at the time of the share issuance. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(5) and/or Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. No selling commissions were paid in connection with the dividend distributions.

On June 15, 2012, stock dividend payments were made to the 26 holders of Series A Preferred Stock totaling 217,542 shares of common stock. Each of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock was an accredited investor at the time of the dividend distribution. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(5) and/or Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. No selling commissions were paid in connection with the dividend distributions.
