Prospectus Summary

Our Business
 
We are focusing our efforts in the mineral exploration. Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Wyoming Iron Complex consisting of mineral leases on 320 acres and 23 unpatented mining claims aggregating approximately 463 acres located in the county of Albany, Wyoming, USA.
 
We have no operating income yet and, as a result, depend upon funding from various sources to continue operations and to implement our growth strategy. Because of our lack of operating revenues, operating losses since inception and need to raise additional funds, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Our principal executive office address is 3040 North Campbell Ave, Suite 110 Tucson, Arizona 85719.

Risk Factors - continued
 
Risks Associated with Mining
 
All of our mineral properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource or reserve on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.
 
We have not established that our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.
 
A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a “reserve” that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral properties  do not contain any ‘reserve’ and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.
 
Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
  
The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter or processing facilities, power, and water, roads and a point for shipping, available workforce, government regulation, proximity to markets and consumers, and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.
 
Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.
 
Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits or bonds required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.
 
There can be no assurance that we can comply with all material laws and regulations that apply to our activities. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits or bonds necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.
 
Exploration, development and exploitation activities are subject to comprehensive regulation and permitting which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing a material adverse effect on us.
 
 
 
 
5

 
 
Risk Factors - continued
 
Exploration, development and exploitation activities are subject to federal, provincial, state and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating permitting, bonding, and the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration, development and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment and other operational activities.
 
Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, provincial, state or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or may increase our costs of doing so, which could have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages that we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which could materially alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.
 
If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on any of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.
 
If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to explore and fully establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.
 
Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.
 
Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the geological, technical and operating hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.
 
Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.
 
We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of iron ore and associated byproducts. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.
 
The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional mineral claims or selling all of the products that we produce. If we cannot acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, or successfully sell our mineral products, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.
 
 
 
6

 
 
Risk Factors - continued
 
The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we may also compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets for the sale of mineral products do not always exist for all mineral commodities Therefore, we may not be able to sell all of the  mineral products that we identify and produce.
 
In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical capabilities . This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.
 
Our competition includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than us. As a result of this competition, we may have to compete for financing and may be unable to acquire financing on terms we consider acceptable. We may also have to compete with the other mining companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended, which may cause us to cease operations as a company.
 
If our costs of exploration are greater than anticipated, then we may not be able to complete the exploration program for our Wyoming Iron Complex without additional financing, of which there is no assurance that we would be able to obtain.
 
We are proceeding with the initial stages of exploration on our Wyoming Iron Complex. Our exploration program outlines a budget for completion of the program. However, there is no assurance that our actual costs will not exceed the budgeted costs. Factors that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices due to competition for personnel and supplies during the exploration season, unanticipated problems in completing the exploration program and delays due to weather or other factors experienced in completing the exploration program. Increases in exploration costs could result in our not being able to carry out our exploration program without additional financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing in this event.
 
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.
 
We have only commenced the initial stage of exploration of our mineral property, and have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of iron ore or other valuable minerals on our Wyoming Iron Complex. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of iron ore or other valuable minerals in our mineral property. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us on our exploration program may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. Problems such as unusual or unexpected geologic formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
 
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
 
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. In the course of carrying out exploration of our Wyoming Iron Complex, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets, resulting in the loss of your entire investment in this offering.

Risk Factors - continued
 
Because access to our mineral property is often restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration and any future mining efforts.
 
Access to the mineral property may be restricted during the period between October and April of each year because the period between these months can typically feature heavy snow cover, extreme cold and high winds which makes it difficult if not impossible to carry out exploration and other activities at the Wyoming Iron Complex.  We can attempt to visit, test or explore our mineral property only when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as in mining and production in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found. Such delays can cause our business to fail.
 
Because our Chief Executive Officer has other business interests, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operation, causing our business to fail.
 
Our President and Chief Executive Officer will devote approximately 50% of his working time on providing management services to us. If the demands on our executive officer from his other obligations increase, he may no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. This could negatively impact our business development.
  
Risks Related to Our Company
 
Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are not effective, which may cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011 and as of September 30, 2012 and concluded that as of those dates, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to (i) inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

As of the date of this prospectus, we believe that these material weaknesses continue to exist and our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are not effective. If such material weakness and ineffective controls are not promptly corrected in the future, our ability to report quarterly and annual financial results or other information required to be disclosed on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected. Also such material weakness and ineffective controls could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.
 
We have been in the business of exploring mineral resource properties only since June 2011 and we have not yet located or identified any mineral reserves. As a result, we have never had any revenues from our mining operations. In addition, our operating history has been restricted to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties and this does not provide a meaningful basis for an evaluation of our prospects if we ever determine that we have a mineral reserve and commence the construction and operation of a mine. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve or, if they do that we will be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the period when we are exploring our properties. We therefore expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and any dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

Risk Factors - continued
 
The fact that we have not earned any significant operating revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to explore our mineral properties as a going concern.
 
We have not generated any significant revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on one or more of our mineral properties and we build and operate a mine. At September 30, 2012, we had working capital of $29,824. We incurred a net loss of $882,912 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and $3,901,143 since inception. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. If our exploration programs are successful in discovering reserves of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require significant additional funds in order to place the Wyoming Iron Complex into commercial production. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral properties, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity and debt securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral properties, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.
 
These circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated April 12, 2012, to comment about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern. When an auditor issues a going concern opinion, the auditor has substantial doubt that our company will continue to operate indefinitely and not go out of business and liquidate its assets. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence. We continue to experience net operating losses.
 
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
 
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
 
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 3,700,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more companies or properties and to fund our overhead and general operating requirements. The issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value per share and may contribute to a reduction in the market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
  
Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.
 
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
 
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.
 
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Because we do not intend to declare cash dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Risk Factors - continued
 
Trading of our stock is restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
 
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
Risks Relating to the Early Stage of our Company and Ability to Raise Capital
 
We are at a very early stage and our success is subject to the substantial risks inherent in the establishment of a new business venture.
 
The implementation of our business strategy is in a very early stage and subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business venture. Accordingly, our intended business and prospective operations may not prove to be successful in the near future, if at all. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, many of which are beyond our control, or which cannot be predicted at this time, and which could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, business prospects and operations and the value of an investment in our company.
 
We have no operating history and our business plan is unproven and may not be successful.
 
We have no commercial operations. None of our projects have proven or provable reserves, are built, or are in production. We have not licensed or sold any mineral products commercially and do not have any definitive agreements to do so. We have not proven that our business model will allow us to generate a profit.

Risk Factors - continued
 
We expect to suffer continued operating losses and we may not be able to achieve profitability.
 
We expect to continue to incur significant discovery and development expenses in the foreseeable future related to exploration and the completion of feasibility, development and commercialization of our projects. As a result, we will be sustaining substantial operating and net losses, and it is possible that we will never be able to sustain or develop the revenue levels necessary to attain profitability.
 
We may have difficulty raising additional capital, which could deprive us of necessary resources.
 
We expect to continue to devote significant capital resources to fund exploration and development of our properties. In order to support the initiatives envisioned in our business plan, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. Our ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of capital markets, the market price of our common stock, the market price for commodities, and the development or prospects for development of competitive technology or competitive projects by others. Because our common stock is not listed on a major stock market, many investors may not be willing or allowed to purchase our common shares or may demand steep discounts. Sufficient additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
 
As of January 11, 2012, closed a private placement financing in the gross amount of $1,000,500, and on October 18, 2012, we closed a private placement financing in the gross amount of $200,000, and received a commitment for up to $10 million through a securities purchase agreement/equity line financing. However,  we do not have any firm commitments for funding beyond this recent placement as the ability to receive funding through the securities purchase agreement/equity line is dependent upon a number of conditions, which may or may not be satisfied. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital, or the terms of raising such capital are unacceptable, we may have to modify our business plan and/or significantly curtail our planned activities. If we are successful raising additional capital through the issuance of additional equity, our investor’s interests will be diluted.
 
There are substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to continue our business, our shares may have little or no value.
 
Our ability to become a profitable operating company is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and/or obtain financing adequate to explore and develop our properties. Achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure has raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to attempt to raise additional equity capital by issuing shares covered and, if necessary through one or more private placement or public offerings, and via the securities purchase agreement/equity line financing. However, the doubts raised relating to our ability to continue as a going concern may make our shares an unattractive investment for potential investors. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital.
 
Failure to effectively manage our growth could place additional strains on our managerial, operational and financial resources and could adversely affect our business and prospective operating results.
 
Our anticipated growth is expected to continue to place a strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Further, as we acquire interests in more properties or subsidiaries and other entities, we will be required to manage multiple relationships. Any further growth by us, or an increase in the number of our strategic relationships will increase this strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. This strain may inhibit our ability to achieve the rapid execution necessary to implement our business plan, and could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, business prospects and prospective operations and the value of an investment in our company.

Risks Related to the Offering

The selling stockholders are offering for resale of a maximum of 12,906,300 shares of our common stock, 11,400,208 shares of our common stock of which have been issued or may be issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC under the equity line or as commitment shares or upon exercise of warrants. The resale of such shares by Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC could depress the market price of our common stock.

The selling stockholders are offering for the resale of a maximum of 12,906,300 shares of our common stock under this prospectus. The sale of these shares into the public market by Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC could depress the market price of our common shares. As of November 21, 2012, there were 52,501,110 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In total, we may issue up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to the equity line, meaning that we are obligated to file one or more registration statements covering the remaining common shares not covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The sale of those additional common shares into the public market by Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC could further depress the market price of our common stock.

Existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution upon the issuance of common stock pursuant to the equity line.

Our equity line with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC contemplates our issuance of up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, subject to certain restrictions and obligations. If the terms and conditions of the equity line are satisfied, and we choose to exercise our put rights to the fullest extent permitted and sell $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, our existing stockholders' ownership will be diluted by such sales.

Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock under the equity line.

The common stock to be issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated October 18, 2012 will be purchased at a 10% discount to the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock on the day we issue the common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, subject to certain exceptions. Therefore, Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC has a financial incentive to sell our common stock upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.

We may not be able to access sufficient funds under the equity line when needed.

Our ability to put shares to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC and obtain funds under the equity line is limited by the terms and conditions in the securities purchase agreement dated October 18, 2012, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to the extent that it would exceed $250,000 or cause Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we do not expect the equity line to satisfy all of our funding needs, even if we are able and choose to take full advantage of the equity line.

Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC (Equity Line of Credit)
 
On October 18, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Equity Line of Credit Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which we may sell and issue to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, and Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is obligated to purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock from time to time over a 36-month period, provided that certain conditions are met. The financing arrangement entered into by us and Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is commonly referred to as an “equity line of credit” or an “equity drawdown facility.”
 
In connection with the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, on October 18, 2012, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to November 16, 2012 and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by February 14, 2013. The registration statement is to register shares of common stock to be purchased under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement and the shares of common stock to be issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC as the Commitment Shares (as defined below).
 
Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, issue and exercise drawdowns against $10,000,000 over a 36-month period (the “Commitment Period”) commencing on the seventh trading date following the date that the initial registration statement to be filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement is first declared effective. Before we can exercise a drawdown, we must have caused a sufficient number of shares of our common stock to be registered to cover the resale of the shares to be issued pursuant to a drawdown and the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock (the “VWAP”) must be greater than $0.01 per share on the trading day immediately prior to each drawdown.
 
We may request a drawdown once every eight trading days and there must be a minimum of three trading days between each drawn down request.
 
The maximum amount we can draw down at any one time is an amount equal to (i) 20% of the average daily trading volume of our common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the date of the drawdown request, multiplied by (ii) the average of the VWAPs of our common stock during such 10 trading day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no drawdown can exceed $250,000 or such amount that would otherwise cause Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to exceed a beneficial ownership of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

The Offering - continued
 
On the day following the delivery of the drawdown notice, a valuation period of five trading days will start. On each of the five trading days during the valuation period, the number of shares to be sold to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC will be determined by dividing 1/5th of the drawdown amount by the purchase price on each trading day. The purchase price will be the lesser of (i) 90% of the VWAP of our common stock on that day and (ii) the price that is $0.01 below the VWAP on that date.
 
If the purchase price on any trading day during the five trading day calculation period is below the minimum price specified by us, then Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC will not purchase any shares on that day, and the drawdown amount will be reduced by 1/5th for each such trading day withdrawn.
 
The term of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement will end 36 months from the date the initial registration statement filed by us pursuant to the registration rights agreement is first declared effective by the SEC, unless otherwise terminated earlier. The Equity Line of Credit Agreement will terminate if (i) our common stock is no longer quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board unless the cessation of quotation is in connection with a subsequent listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, NYSE Amex, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the BX Venture Market, the OTCQB or the OTCQX, (ii) we file for protection from creditors under any applicable law or (iii) the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or before July 12, 2013. In addition, we may terminate the Equity Line of Credit Agreement upon five trading days’ notice.
 
In consideration for agreeing to the terms of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we agreed to issue the following shares of our common stock (the “Commitment Shares”):   
 
 
·
150,015 shares of our common stock no later than 30 days following the initial closing date (issued on October 22, 2012);
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Second Payment Date”) which is 30 calendar days following the initial closing date, 173,913 shares of our common stock, being equal to 0.5% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Second Payment Date (issued on November 19, 2012);
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Third Payment Date”) which is immediately following the date that the initial registration statement filed by us pursuant to the registration rights agreement is first declared effective by the SEC, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 1% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Third Payment Date provided that, if the number of Commitment Shares to be delivered to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC on the Third Payment Date causes Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to receive an aggregate number of Commitment Shares (as of the Third Payment Date) of less than 2% of $10,000,000, then additional Commitment Shares are to be issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC on the Third Payment Date so that it has received an aggregate number of Commitment Shares (as of the Third Payment Date) of at least 2% of $10,000,000;
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Fourth Payment Date”) in which we have received at least $1,000,000 in aggregate upon drawdowns, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 0.5% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Fourth Payment Date;  and
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Fifth Payment Date”) in which we have received at least $2,000,000 in aggregate upon drawdowns, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 0.5% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Fifth Payment Date.
 
We issued and intend to issue the Commitment Shares and shares of our common stock upon drawdowns in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
In addition, we reimbursed Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC $5,000 and have agreed to reimburse them for up to $7,500 for its actual legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction

Securities Purchase Agreements (Debentures)
 
On October 18, 2012, we entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Debenture Purchase Agreements”) with two investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of $235,300 face value in principal amount of 5% convertible debentures due October 18, 2013 (the “Debentures”). In addition to the Debentures, we issued an aggregate of 705,901 common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for three years. The Investors paid us the aggregate subscription amount of $200,000 for the Debentures and the Warrants, which subscription amount was at a 15% discount from the principal amount of the Debentures.
 
Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at a rate per annum equal to 5% on the basis of a 365-day year. On the maturity date of October 18, 2013, we must pay the holder of the Debenture any accrued but unpaid interest on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, and on each date the conversion of the principal amount and, if applicable, interests under the Debenture, we must pay to a holder of the Debenture any accrued but unpaid interest on that portion of the principal amount then being converted, which amount may be added to and included in the principal amount being so converted on such date by the holder.
 
If we fail to pay any accrued and unpaid interest payable within three trading days following notice of late payment from a holder of the Debenture, then such overdue amount will entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law which will accrue daily from the date such interest was originally due through and including the date of actual payment in full.
 
The principal amount owing under the Debentures together with any interest accrued under the Debenture, are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holders of the Debentures. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.27 during the six months following October 18, 2012, and $0.35 thereafter and (ii) 70% of the average daily VWAPs for our common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding applicable conversion date. The holder must not convert more than 30% of the initial principal sum into shares of our common stock at a price below $0.15 during any calendar month and must not convert more than 20% of the original principal sum into shares of our common stock at a price below $0.11 during any calendar month.
 
If at any time prior to the maturity date of October 18, 2013, our common stock has for any 20 consecutive trading day period (i) an average daily VWAP price of $1.00 per share or greater, and (ii) an average daily trading volume of 100,000 shares or greater, we have the right (but not obligation) to convert the Debentures at the then applicable conversion price.
 
We must not affect any conversion of the Debentures and the holders of the Debentures do not have the right to convert the Debentures, to the extent that the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation (currently 9.99% of our outstanding common stock).
 
In connection with the Debenture Purchase Agreement, on October 18, 2012, we entered into a piggyback registration rights agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which we agreed to register shares of our common stock issued on exercise of the Warrants or issuable to the Investor pursuant to the Debenture, together with any interest thereon accrued but unpaid, if we determine to proceed with the preparation and filing with the SEC of a registration statement relating to an offering for our own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
In the event that there is no effective registration statement which registers the resale by the warrant holder of the shares underlying the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise.
 
We must not affect any exercise of the Warrants and the holder of the Warrants does not have the right to exercise the Warrants, to the extent that the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation (currently 4.99% of our outstanding common stock).
 
We issued the Debenture and Warrants in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Offering - continued
 
We paid Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC $5,000, and have agreed to pay up to $7,500 for its actual legal fees and expenses. We also paid $11,250 and issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 52,943 shares of our common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC as placement agent fees and granted piggyback registration rights for the warrants.
 
On October 25 and 26, 2012, Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC and the Investors collectively exercised their full allotment of warrants on a cashless basis and received a total of 556, 182 restricted shares of our common stock. We issued these shares of our common stock in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
Use of Proceeds
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. All proceeds from the sale of such shares will be for the account of the selling stockholders. We will pay for expenses of this offering, except that the selling stockholders will pay any broker discounts or commissions or equivalent expenses applicable to the sale of their shares.

None of the selling stockholders had or have any position or office, or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates over the past three years. Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is an affiliate of a broker-dealer. Other than Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, none of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
 
We may require the selling stockholders to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

Notes
(1)
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible debentures currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are counted as outstanding. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of our common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table.
   
(2)
Because the selling stockholders may offer and sell all or only some portion of the 12,906,300 shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus and may acquire additional shares of our common stock in the future, we cannot provide an estimate of the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that any of the selling stockholders will hold upon termination of the offering.

Plan of Distribution

Each of the selling stockholders named above and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 
·
privately negotiated transactions;

 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

Plan of Distribution - continued
 
Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and other selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. Except for an arrangement between Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC and Mike Cole, the selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock of our company. We have been informed that approximately 45,000 shares of our common stock issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC are due to Mike Cole under his arrangement while he was still with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC. Pursuant to a requirement by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker/dealer may not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act of 1933.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus.  We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.  We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $50,000.  We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.  We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the security purchase agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC or exercise of warrants by the selling stockholders. Neither the securities purchase agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC nor any rights of the parties under the securities purchase agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC may be assigned or delegated to any other person.

Because Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is, and other selling stockholders may be, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 including Rule 172 thereunder. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

We agreed with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to keep this prospectus effective until all shares of our common stock covered by a registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) (A) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and (B) (I) may be sold without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 or (II) we are in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, or (iii) the commitment period under the securities purchase agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC has expired and no registrable securities are then held of record by Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC that are subject to any resale restriction under Rule 144, as determined by our counsel in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the transfer agent and the affected Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC.

The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

Description of Securities
 
General
 
 
Effective June 15, 2011, we effected a 37 to one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common and preferred stock.  As a result, our authorized capital increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 to 3,700,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. The authorized shares of our common stock are available for issuance without further action or approval by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded.
 
As of November 21, 2012, there were 52,501,110 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by 20 holders of record of our common stock.
 
Voting Rights
 
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law the holders of our common stock possess all voting power. According to our bylaws, in general, each director is to be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the directors at any meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. According to our bylaws, in general, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum), except for the election of directors, is to be the act of our stockholders. Our bylaws provide that stockholders holding at least 10% of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum at the meeting of our stockholders. Our bylaws also provide that any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
 
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Because the holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights and directors are generally to be elected by a majority of the votes casts with respect to the directors at any meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors, holders of more than fifty percent, and in some cases less than 50%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of our directors.
 
Dividend Rights
 
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of our company, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and we do not anticipate that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
 
Miscellaneous Rights and Provisions
 
In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, each share of our common stock is entitled to share ratably in any assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock after satisfaction of all liabilities.
 
 
 
 
21

 
 
Description of Securities - continued
 
Our common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversions, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding our common stock.
 
Our common stock, after the fixed consideration thereof has been paid or performed, are not subject to assessment, and the holders of our commons tock are not individually liable for the debts and liabilities of our company.
 
Our bylaws provide that our board of directors may amend our bylaws by a majority vote of our board of directors including any bylaws adopted by our stockholders, but our stockholders may from time to time specify particular provisions of these bylaws, which must not be amended by our board of directors. Our current bylaws were adopted by our board of directors. Therefore, our board of directors can amend our bylaws to make changes to the provisions relating to the quorum requirement and votes requirements to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of our company or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium over market price for their shares of common stock as a result of a takeover bid.
 
Acquisition of Controlling Interest
 
The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing acquisition of controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation, excluding shares as to which any of such acquiring person or entity, an officer or a director of the corporation, and an employee of the corporation exercises voting rights, elect to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. These provisions apply whenever a person or entity acquires shares that, but for the operation of these provisions, would bring voting power of such person or entity in the election of directors within any of the following three ranges:
 
 
·
20% or more but less than 33 1/3%;
 
 
·
33 1/3% or more but less than or equal to 50%; or
 
 
·
more than 50%.
 
The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from these provisions through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from these provisions.
 
These provisions are applicable only to a Nevada corporation, which:
 
 
·
has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation; and
 
 
·
does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
 
At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record who have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of our company nor do we believe that we do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Therefore, we believe that these provisions do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, these provisions may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of our company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

Description of Securities - continued
 
Combination with Interested Stockholder
 
The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing combination of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an interested stockholder. As of November 21, 2012, we had 20 stockholders of record. Therefore we believe that these provisions do not apply to us. If we obtain over 200 stockholders of record, these provisions may also have effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our company.
 
A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within three years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:
 
 
·
the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;
 
 
·
the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or
 
 
·
if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any.
 
Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation. Generally, these provisions define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder of assets of the corporation having:
 
 
·
an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation;
 
 
·
an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or
 
 
·
representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.
 
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
 
There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation or our bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company and that would operate only with respect to an extraordinary corporate transaction involving our company or any of our subsidiaries, such as merger, reorganization, tender offer, sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets, or liquidation.

The financial statements of our company included in this prospectus have been audited by Manning Elliott LLP, to the extent and for the period set forth in their report (which contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern) appearing elsewhere in the prospectus, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

Interest of Named Experts and Counsel

Information with respect to Our Company
 
Description of Business
 
Corporate Overview
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007. Our plan after our inception on June 5, 2007 was to produce user-friendly software that creates interactive digital yearbook software for schools and allows them to create and burn their own interactive digital yearbooks on CD/DVD.
 
Effective June 15, 2011, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Titan Iron Ore Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name from “Digital Yearbook Inc.” to “Titan Iron Ore Corp.”
 
Also effective June 15, 2011, we effected a 37 to one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common and preferred stock.  As a result, our authorized capital increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 to 3,700,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 of which 5,151,000 shares of common stock outstanding increased to 190,587,000 shares of common stock. Subsequently, on June 20, 2011, we issued 2,100,000 common shares pursuant to a private placement unit offering, increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding to 192,687,000.
 
Effective June 30, 2011 and in connection with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, as defined below under the heading “Acquisition Agreement”, Ohad David, Ruth Navon and Service Merchant Corp. (the “Vendors”), entered into an affiliate stock purchase agreement, whereby, among other things, the Vendors surrendered 142,950,000 common shares for cancellation.
 
On October 18, 2012 we entered into agreements to secure up to $10 million in equity line financing. Separately, we also received $200,000 in funding from convertible debentures.
 
Acquisition Agreement for Wyoming Iron Complex
 
Effective June 30, 2011 and in connection with the entry into an agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with J2 Mining Ventures Ltd. (“J2 Mining”) dated June 13, 2011 and attached as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of a 100% right, title and interest in and to a properties option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) from J2 Mining with respect to iron ore mineral properties located in Albany County, Wyoming, by way of entering an assignment of mineral property option agreement with J2 Mining and Wyomex LLC (the “Assignment Agreement”), whereby our company was assigned 100% of the right, title and interest in and to the Option Agreement from J2 Mining.

Description of Business - continued
 
The Option Agreement assigned to us from J2 Mining on September 30, 2011 was entered into on May 26, 2011 between J2 Mining and Wyomex LLC, pursuant to which Wyomex LLC, as optionor, granted to J2 Mining, as optionee, an exclusive right and option to acquire 100% undivided legal and beneficial interests in and to certain unpatented lode mining claims, fee lands, leased lands, and other interests in real property situated in Albany County, Wyoming (the “Wyoming Iron Complex”). Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, J2 Mining agreed to assign all its rights and interests in the property and the Option Agreement, and transfer all of its obligations under the Option Agreement, to our company, and our company accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms of the Option Agreement.
 
The term of the option commenced on May 26, 2011 and was extended for a total of six successive one-month periods, up through and including December 26, 2011, by providing notice to Wyomex LLC and payment of $5,000 for each of the first three additional months and $15,000 for the last three additional months (for a total payment of $60,000). Our company elected to exercise the option on December 21, 2011 by giving Wyomex LLC written notice of such election.
 
On April 10, 2012, we entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Wyomex LLC whereby we purchased the Wyoming Iron Complex mineral project located in Albany County, Wyoming.
 
The purchase price for the Wyoming Iron Complex is $7,000,000 payable as follows:

 
·
Acknowledgement by Wyomex and credit to us of the sum of US$60,000, previously received by Wyomex for expenses and option payments related to the Wyoming Iron Complex.

The Note is secured by a purchase money mortgage (the “Mortgage”).

Commencing six months from the date of closing and every six months thereafter, we will pay Wyomex, as an advance production payment, the initial amount of $62,500 (the “Advance Production Payment”), as adjusted for inflation, until Commencement of Commercial Production from the Property, which is defined as the first quarter of production in which 4.5 percent of the metal values or gross proceeds from the sales of mineral materials derived from the Wyoming Iron Complex exceeds the amount of the Advance Production Payment.

 
·
We assumed all liabilities of Wyomex to make all lease or other payments required following the closing under the mineral lease agreement between Wyomex and Chugwater Iron Company (the “Mineral Lease Agreement”) relating to certain leased real property (the “Leased Real Property”), including payment of real property taxes and payment of the sum of $1,000 per month to be paid as an advance production payment under the Mineral Lease Agreement. We also assumed the responsibility of Wyomex to make the payments to maintain the federal unpatented lode mining claims described below, in the approximate yearly amount of $3,200.

 
·
At the Commencement of Commercial Production, the Advance Production Payment is converted to a 4.5% gross metal value payment (“GMP”) on iron ore, concentrates, and/or other mineral materials produced and sold from the Wyoming Iron Complex by us to unrelated third parties (the “Production Payment”), provided, that for the Leased Real Property, the GMP payable to Wyomex is reduced by 50% such that Wyomex receives a 2.25% GMP on production from such lands, and the owner of the Leased Real Property shall receive the balance or a 2.25% GMP. Except for events of force majeure (including non-operation of the facilities after startup) in no event shall the total Production Payment paid by us to Wyomex and the owner of the Leased Real Property be less than US$150,000 in any given calendar year. All Advance Production Payments and Production Payments, as they relate to Leased Real Property, shall be reduced to Wyomex by the amounts of such payments that must be transmitted to the lessor of the Leased Real Property in accordance with the terms and obligations of the Mineral Lease for the Leased Real Property.

Description of Business - continued
 
Subsequent to the payment by us of the full amount of $7 million, the Purchase Price is deemed to be satisfied, and the Production Payment is reduced such that we pay to Wyomex, and the owner of the Leased Real Property, a total GMP royalty of 1.5% for all iron product and/or other mineral materials produced and sold from the Wyoming Iron Complex during the previous month.  The Production Payments due to Wyomex and the owner of Leased Real Property shall be similarly reduced, as provided above, such that Wyomex receives a 0.75% GMP on such assets, and the owner of Leased Real Property shall receive a 0.75% GMP.
 
The Wyoming Iron Complex consist of certain unpatented lode mining claims situated in an unorganized mining district, Albany County, Wyoming, in Sections 14 and 24, Township 19 North, Range 72 West, 6th Principal Meridian, the names of which and the place of record of the location notices thereof in the official records of the county recorder and the authorized office of the Bureau of Land Management.
 
Our Current Business
 
With the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to the Wyoming Iron Complex, we abandoned our efforts as an interactive software developer, and we are focusing our efforts in the mineral exploration. Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Wyoming Iron Complex consisting of mineral leases on 320 acres and 23 unpatented mining claims aggregating approximately 463 acres located in the county of Albany, Wyoming, USA.
 
Proposed Initial Work Program
 
The initial two phases lasted six to seven months and entailed expenditures of approximately $258,000.
 
The initial phase lasted three months and included:

 
·
Compilation of all existing geological data into one comprehensive data base for each of  the Strong Creek and Iron Mountain Deposits; and

 
·
Development of an additional work program for the properties.

The second phase took a further three to four months. The specific work undertaken included confirmation drilling of existing drill targets to validate historic data (2000 feet).
 
The third phase will involve expansion and infill drilling to expand the resource on the Strong Creek deposit to upgrade and enhance the quality of the resource data base, bulk testing of Iron Mountain Ores to confirm the validity of the Krupp Renn or other pyrometallurgical process as applied to Strong Creek and Iron Mountain ores, bench scale tests on the Strong Creek ores to validate the Hazen /USBM separation  results, and the initiation of a prefeasibility study based on historic and current data. This work program, subject to the receipt of adequate funding, is expected to take at least one year and entail an aggregate expenditure of up to $8 million.
 
Once we complete each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not and how we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program.
 
Progress
 
On October 13, 2011, we announced a targeted first phase drilling program of 1700 feet at the Strong Creek deposit in the Wyoming Iron Complex. A total of three holes drilled by Union Pacific Resources (c. 1955) and the State of Wyoming (1995) were twinned for a total of 2000 feet in an effort to duplicate the results of those earlier programs. One hole was extended to a depth of 700 feet to expand upon the vertical potential of the ore body. All work during this phase was done on the Strong Creek property, the larger of the two prospects within the Wyoming Iron Complex. The drilling was diamond core of HQ size (2½ inches in diameter). Results of this initial drilling campaign were announced via press releases dated February 8, 2012, February 22, 2012 and March 14, 2012. We announced that each of the holes demonstrated potential ore-grade material over virtually the entire length of each hole with grades as high as 22.8% Fe and 8.6% Ti.

Description of Business - continued
 
On September 20, 2012, we announced that we were changing our immediate corporate development focus to the Iron Mountain deposit at the Wyoming Iron Complex,as we believe this will provide an opportunity for nearer-term production and cash flow opportunities. The Iron Mountain deposit has an existing open pit with past production, information from approximately 100 historical drillholes, and we believe it may results in a considerably shorter timeframe to complete feasibility-level work and a much quicker path to production than Strong Creek. An ore stockpile at Iron Mountain contains run of mine ("ROM") grade material. An independent sample analysis substantiated iron and titanium grades at 52% and 15% respectively. We are investigating arrangements to sell this material, which if successful, could potentially provide for short-term cash flow opportunities to help support future exploration and development on the site. We are also currently evaluating the potential customer and marketing base for which Iron Mountain ROM material may be suitable. This includes the area cement industry and domestic primary steel producers.
 
Our technical plan for the winter of 2012 is to conduct metallurgical studies on Iron Mountain ore, including the engagement of a laboratory for compression and crush testing. During 2013, we intend to evaluate and design a laboratory-scale test program for the production of high value-added semi-steel and titanium products, replicating the historical studies from the 1960's completed by the Natural Resources Division of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. We further anticipate that during 2013, we plan to implement an additional drill and exploration program at Iron Mountain, designed to upgrade the technical nature of the deposit. Also during 2013, we hope to initiate work towards completing a feasibility-level report for the development of Iron Mountain.
 
Option Agreement with Globex Mining
 
On July 19, 2011, we entered into an option agreement with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. ("Globex") effective July 12, 2011 (the "Globex Agreement"), pursuant to which Globex granted us the right (the "Option") for a period of 90 days from July 12, 2011 to acquire an undivided 100% interest in and to 202 mining claims (the "Property") located in the Labrador trough area in the Province of Quebec, Canada.
 
In September 2011, we initiated a geological reconnaissance survey of a magnetic geophysical anomaly located on the Labrador Trough iron property.  This survey determined that the anomaly was not of sufficient mineral type, grade or size to merit further exploration costs.  Accordingly, we have determined to drop the option on the Labrador Trough iron property and on October 12, 2011 notified the owner of the property that we will not be exercising its option to acquire the property.
 
Competition
 
We are a mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our mineral properties.
 
We also compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in mineral resource exploration companies. The presence of competing mineral resource exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors. We also compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, helicopter or float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.

Technical Reports
 
All reports completed prior to January 2002 are considered to be “historic in nature” and are not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 or SEC Guide 7, and therefore cannot be relied upon.  In August 2005, a due diligence program was undertaken by Radar Acquisitions Corp. in which 10 rotary air blast drill holes were completed on a selected area of the Strong Creek portion of the property that exhibited higher grade titanium grades.  A technical report compliant with National Instrument 43-101 was produced for this area but its content is not considered to be applicable to our  planned work program.
 
Description of Property, Location, Means and Access
 
The Wyoming Iron Complex is located approximately 30 miles north-northeast of the city Laramie in southeastern Wyoming, (See Figure 1 below). The Strong Creek Claims are located in the central portion of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex (LAC), approximately a one hour drive north from Laramie, along Hwy 287 to 34 and then secondary roads from the Greaser Ranch.  The Iron Mountain Leases are located approximately 6 miles to the east of Strong Creek and are accessible by secondary roads.  The Strong Creek portion of the Wyoming Iron Complex also lies 9 miles to the east of the main rail line of the Union Pacific. Power and water are available at the property.
 
The closest major town to the Wyoming Iron Complex is Laramie, Wyoming, a city of approximately 25,000 people. It has an elevation of 7,200 feet, resulting in a varied, but semi-arid climate. Laramie is located along the I-80 corridor and is on the main rail line of the Union Pacific. Laramie is a full-service city which hosts all amenities, and is the home of the University of Wyoming.

Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
 
Albany County, population 27,204 (US Census Bureau, 2003), is located in the high plains region of south-eastern Wyoming. Most of the county is located in a cool and arid basin (<12 inches of precipitation annually) containing the Laramie River watershed, a major tributary to the North Platte River system. The county is flanked on the west by the Medicine Bow Mountains and on the east by the Laramie Range.
 
Due to its elevation, Wyoming has a relatively cool climate. Above the 6,000 foot level, the temperature rarely exceeds 100 F. Summer nights are usually cool, though daytime readings may be quite high. Away from the mountains, low July temperatures range from 50 to 60 F. A typical winter would see freezing temperatures from December through March with most accumulation of snow occurring in March.
 
History of Exploration
 
Since the earliest geological investigations of the area by Stansbury in 1851, and Hayden in 1871, Fe-Ti oxide deposits have been known in Albany County. There have been numerous economic evaluations of these deposits by Ball, 1907; Singewald, 1913; Frey, 1946 and Hild, 1953.
 
From the completion of the railway until 1975 the property was owned by Union Pacific Resources (“UPR”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific. From the mid 1950’s through 1972 the properties were drilled and evaluated which produced a resource estimate (non-compliant with SEC Guide 7 or Canadian NI 43-101) for contained iron, titanium dioxide and vanadium.

Description of Property - continued
 
UPR conducted a comprehensive drilling program on both of the properties and which included bulk sampling and a 30,000 ton pilot plant test based on the Krupp Renn pyrometallurgical recovery process.  This was part of a study produced in 1968 later revisited in 1972 for the processing of Fe and Ti ore  which concluded that Iron  can be recovered  using the Iron Mountain ores and that the Strong Creek concentrates may also be  amenable to the Krupp Renn process.  The iron material produced from this process  is referred to as Luppen – a semi-steel product containing 98.5%) iron, considered to be a superior feed stock for electric arc furnaces as it contains none of the contaminants found in scrap or Pig Iron.  This test also confirmed that a portion of the Vanadium could be recovered as Vanadium Pentoxide.
 
In 1995, the State of Wyoming drilled 27 large bore rotary drill holes on the Strong Creek Property to obtain a bulk sample for testing by the laboratories US Bureau of Mines of Salt Lake City,  Utah and by Hazen Research Inc. of Golden, Colorado.  These tests demonstrated that the ore can be concentrated using a coarsely ground product (-20 + 40 mesh), followed by spiral concentration, magnetic separation, and electrostatic concentration to produce two distinct concentrates of Titanium Dioxide  and Magnetite – Vanadium .
 
To date, our activities have been limited to organizational matters, obtaining a geology report on the Strong Creek claims and planning and carrying out our initial, 2000 foot, 3-hole exploration program on the Strong Creek claims.
 
Geological Setting and Mineralization
 
The Laramie Anorthosite Complex (LAC), hosting the Strong Creek Fe-Ti deposits, is a 1.4 Billion year old intrusion that was emplaced into the Cheyenne suture between the Archean Wyoming Province and Early Proterozoic island-arc assemblages of the south-western United States. The LAC is comprised of older, layered anorthositic and gabbroic rocks and younger syenitic to monzonitic rocks.
 
The oxide-bearing gabbro-noritic and anothorositic rocks at Strong Creek host layered, late stage cumulate horizons of disseminated oxide mineralization. These rocks are unaltered and only show weak alteration along late fractures. A north-south, doubly plunging antiform produces local geology that has a core complex of anorthosite grading into progressively more differentiated leuco-gabbro-norite and syenite outer rims.
 
The economic model proposed for the Wyoming Iron Complex is an example of a Magmatic Ti­Fe-V Oxide Deposit, which is described in “Magmatic Ti-Fe±V Oxide Deposits, in Geological Fieldwork 1997, British Columbia Ministry of Employment and Investment” by Gross, G.A., Gower, C.F., and Lefebure, D. V., as follows:
 
 
·
Geologic Setting: Deposits occur in intrusive complexes which typically are emplaced at deeper levels in the crust. Progressive differentiation of liquids residual from anorthosite-nodte magmas leads to late stage intrusions enriched in Fe and Ti oxides and apatite. Some of the iron-titanium deposits occur at continental margins related to island arc magmatism, followed by an episode of orogenic compression.
 
 
·
Age of Mineralization: Mainly Mid proterozoic (1.65 to 0.90 Bn Years old) for the ilmenite deposits, but this may be a consequence of a particular combination of tectonic circumstances, rather than any a prior temporal control. The Fe-Ti deposits with titaniferous magnetite do not appear to be restricted in time.
 
 
·
Host/Associated Rocks: Hosted by massive, layered or zoned intrusive complexes - anorthosite, norite, gabbro, diorite, diabase, quartz monzonite and hornblende pyroxenite. The anorthosites are commonly emplaced in granitoid gneiss, granulite, schist, amphibolite and quartzite. Some deposits associated with lower grade rocks.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Titan Iron Ore Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Titan Iron Ore Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) (formerly Digital Yearbook Inc.) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended and for the period from June 5, 2007 (date of inception) through to December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Titan Iron Ore Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) (formerly Digital Yearbook Inc.) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended and for the period from June 5, 2007 (date of inception) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011
(Expressed in US dollars)
 


1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS

Titan Iron Ore Corp. (the Company) (formerly Digital Yearbook, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007. At its inception, the Company was engaged in developing and offering software products for the creation of interactive digital yearbook software for high schools.

Effective June 15, 2011, the Company completed a merger with its subsidiary, Titan Iron Ore Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name from “Digital Yearbook Inc.” to “Titan Iron Ore Corp.” effective becoming an exploration stage company. The Company’s principal business includes the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties.
 
Also effective June 15, 2011, the Company effected a 37 to one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result, 5,151,000 shares of common stock outstanding increased to 190,587,000 shares of common stock. Subsequently, on June 20, 2011, the Company issued 2,100,000 common shares pursuant to a private placement unit offering, increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding to 192,687,000. Effective June 30, 2011 and in connection with the acquisition of an option to purchase a mineral property, certain shareholders surrendered 142,950,000 common shares of the Company. As a result of the Company’s cancellation of these shares, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock decreased to 49,737,000.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which implies that the Company would continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at December 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated losses of $1,030,196 since inception and its operations continue to be funded primarily from sales of its stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, including completion of the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary financing from sales of its stock financings. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations, asset retirement obligations, financial instrument valuations, and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. 

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
 
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows.

If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Mineral Property Costs
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized.  The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying cost may not be recoverable under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each reporting date. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at December 31, 2011, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligation related to the exploration of its mineral property option.

Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has no items that represent other comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of other comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by ASC 820, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 5,000,000 as of December 31, 2011.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to comprehensive income. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continued statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the update requires certain disclosure requirements when reporting other comprehensive income. The update does not change the items reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to income. The update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting
In May 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting. The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a significant impact on the balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Effective June 30, 2011 and in connection with the entry into an agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with J2 Mining Ventures Ltd. (“J2 Mining”) dated June 13, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% right, title and interest in and to a properties (Strong Creek and Iron Mountain) option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) from J2 Mining with respect to an iron ore mineral property located in Albany County, Wyoming by entering into an assignment of mineral property option agreement with J2 Mining and Wyomex LLC (the “Assignment Agreement”), whereby the Company was assigned the 100% right, title and interest in and the Option Agreement from J2 Mining.

Repayment of the promissory note may be demanded by the Optionor upon an event of default as defined in the agreement.

Upon full settlement of the promissory note, the production royalty shall be reduced, and the Company shall pay the optionor a gross metal value royalty of 1.5% for all iron product and/or other mineral materials mined and sold from the property.

9.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

Pursuant to ASC 825, cash is based on "Level 1" inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature or respective relatively short durations.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, as follows.

11.  INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in the financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The Company has approximately $846,905 of net operating losses to carry forward which are available to offset taxable income in future years which expire through fiscal 2031. For the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, the valuation allowance established against the deferred tax assets increased by $296,417, and $3,320 respectively.

TITAN IRON ORE CORP.
 (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
(Expressed in US dollars)


1.  NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS

Titan Iron Ore Corp. (the Company) (formerly Digital Yearbook, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007.
 
Effective June 15, 2011, the Company completed a merger with its subsidiary, Titan Iron Ore Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name from “Digital Yearbook Inc.” to “Titan Iron Ore Corp.” effective becoming an exploration stage company. The Company’s principal business includes the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties.
 
Also effective June 15, 2011, the Company effected a 37 to one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result, 5,151,000 shares of common stock outstanding increased to 190,587,000 shares of common stock. Subsequently, on June 20, 2011, the Company issued 2,100,000 common shares pursuant to a private placement unit offering, increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding to 192,687,000. Effective June 30, 2011 and in connection with the acquisition of an option to purchase a mineral property, certain shareholders surrendered 142,950,000 common shares of the Company. As a result of the Company’s cancellation of these shares, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock decreased to 49,737,000. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2012 the Company issued 1,334,000 shares in a private placement and issued 550,000 shares for services received, brining the total outstanding shares to 51,621,000.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which implies that the Company would continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2012 the Company has accumulated losses of $3,901,143 since inception and its operations continue to be funded primarily from sales of its stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, including completion of the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary financing from sales of its stock financings. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Interim Financial Statements
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2012, with the SEC.

The interim financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at September 30, 2012 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year ending December 31, 2012.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
(Expressed in US dollars)

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations, asset retirement obligations, financial instrument valuations, and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. 

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows.

If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Mineral Property Costs
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized.  The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying cost may not be recoverable under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each reporting date. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US dollars)

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at September 30, 2012, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligation related to the exploration of its mineral property option.

Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by ASC 820, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties approximates fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s promissory note approximate carrying value as the underlying imputed interest rate approximates the market rate. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 6,667,000 as of September 30, 2012.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

7.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On November 22, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan (“2011 Stock Option Plan”), the purpose of which is to enhance the Company’s stockholder value and financial performance by attracting, retaining and motivating the Company’s officers, directors, key employees, consultants and its affiliates and to encourage stock ownership by such individuals by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company’s success through stock ownership. Under the 2011 Stock Option Plan, officers, directors, employees and consultants who provide services to the Company may be granted options to acquire common shares of the Company.   The aggregate number of options authorized by the plan shall not exceed 9,947,400 common shares of the Company.

10.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

10.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

Pursuant to ASC 825, cash is based on "Level 1" inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature or respective relatively short durations. The fair value of the Company’s promissory note approximates carrying value as the underlying imputed interest rate approximates the market rate.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, as follows.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2012, the Company made the first advance royalty payment of $63,563 under the Strong Creek and Iron Mountain asset purchase agreement.

On October 19, 2012 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) to secure equity line financing. Separately, the Company also received funding from convertible debentures.
 
Under a Securities Purchase Agreement, upon Titan registering its common shares under a registration statement, the Investor will make equity financing available to the Company over a 36-month commitment, allowing the Company to sell up to $10,000,000 in value of its common shares. The Company will determine, at its own discretion, the timing and amount of its sales of stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Shares will be priced at the lesser of a 10% discount from the Volume Weighted Average Prices ("VWAP") for the Company's common stock during the five consecutive trading days following a sales notice and the price that is $0.01 below the VWAP on the date in question, but are limited to $250,000 per pricing period or result in the investor beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then outstanding common stock. The Investor will also receive Commitment shares up to a total of 3% of the $10 million commitment amount for the equity line. On October 22, 2012 the Investor received 150,015 shares as the first tranche of commitment shares. The Company can terminate the line at any time.
 
In addition to equity line financing, the Company received bridge loans in the form of convertible debentures with gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000. These debentures carry an interest rate of 5%, with an original issue discount of 15%, and are convertible at the lesser of: (a) $0.27 during the six months following the closing date, and $.35 thereafter, and (b) 70% of the average daily VWAP for the common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. The investors also collectively received 3-year warrants to purchase a total of 705,901 shares at an exercise price of $0.25, exercisable on a cashless basis. A finder's fee of 9% of the purchase price in cash and 9% in warrants was paid  to an affiliate of the Investor with respect to a portion of the convertible debenture financing.
 
On October 25 and 26, 2012, the investors and the finder collectively exercised their full allotment of warrants on a cashless basis and received a total of 556, 183 restricted shares of the Company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
 
Our management’s discussion and analysis provides a narrative about our financial performance and condition that should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward looking statements reflecting our current expectations and estimates and assumptions about events and trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the sections of this prospectus titled “Risk Factors” beginning at page 4 above and “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning at page 12 above.
 
Overview
 
We are a mineral exploration company. Our plan of operation is to carry out exploration work on our Wyoming Iron Complex in order to ascertain whether it possesses commercially exploitable quantities of iron ore and other metals. We intend to primarily explore for iron ore but if we discover that our mineral property hold potential for other minerals that our management determines are worth exploring further, then we intend to explore for those other minerals. We will not be able to determine whether or not the property contains a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work indicates economic viability.

According to our plan of operation for a full exploration program, we estimate our cash needs for the next 12 months to be as follows:

We have no ongoing revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.  Accordingly, we will be dependent on future additional financing in order to fund our anticipated cash needs, and to seek other business opportunities in the mining industry or new business opportunities. There are no assurances that we will be able to complete such future additional financings or seek other business opportunities.
 
We are considered an exploration stage company as we are involved in the examination and investigation of the mineral property that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our property, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the mineral property, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

Results of Operations
 
Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007. Our plan after our inception on June 5, 2007 was to produce user-friendly software that creates interactive digital yearbook software for schools and allows them to create and burn their own interactive digital yearbooks on CD/DVD.
 
On June 13, 2011, we entered into a mineral property option acquisition agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) with J2 Mining Ventures Ltd. pursuant to which J2 Mining agreed to transfer, sell and assign all (100%) of its right, title and interest in and to a iron ore mineral property option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) regarding property located in Albany County, Wyoming.
 
On June 30, 2011, we closed the Acquisition Agreement and entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with J2 Mining and the owner of the property, Wyomex LLC, transferring J2 Mining’s interest in the Option Agreement to our company.

Our cash in the bank at December 31, 2011 was $118,066. For the period from inception (June 5, 2007) to December 31, 2011 we had no operating revenues and incurred net operating losses of $1,046,660 consisting of general and administrative expenses and professional fees incurred in connection with the day-to-day operation of our business and filing of our periodic reports.
 
As a result of our minimal amount of revenues and ongoing expenditures in pursuit of our business, we incurred net losses since our inception. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our net loss was $954,677.
 
Our net loss and comprehensive loss for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC (Equity Line of Credit)
 
On October 18, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which we may sell and issue to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, and Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is obligated to purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock from time to time over a 36-month period, provided that certain conditions are met. The financing arrangement entered into by us and Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is commonly referred to as an “equity line of credit” or an “equity drawdown facility.” For further information regarding the securities purchase agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, see “The Offering”.
 
Securities Purchase Agreements (Debentures)
 
On October 18, 2012, we entered into securities purchase agreements with two investors, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of $235,300 face value in principal amount of 5% convertible debentures due October 18, 2013. In addition to the debentures, we issued an aggregate of 705,901 common stock purchase warrants with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for three years. The investors paid us the aggregate subscription amount of $200,000 for the debentures and the warrants, which subscription amount was at a 15% discount from the principal amount of the debentures. For further information regarding the debentures, see “The Offering”.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Going Concern
 
At September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,901,143 since our inception and incurred a net loss of $882,912 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.  We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
We have generated minimal revenues and have incurred losses since inception. Accordingly, we will be dependent on future additional financing in order to seek other business opportunities in the mining industry or new business opportunities. We are considered an exploration stage company as we are involved in the examination and investigation of the mineral property that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our property, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the mineral property, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 Basis of Presentation
 
Our financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. Our fiscal year-end is December 31, 2011.
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations, asset retirement obligations, financial instrument valuations, and loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. 

Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
 
Advertising Costs
 
Our policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows.
 
If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Stock-based compensation
 
We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

 
 
40

 
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - continued
 
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Mineral Property Costs
 
We are in the exploration stage and have not yet realized any revenues from  operations.  We are primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized.  We assess the carrying costs for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying cost may not be recoverable under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each reporting date. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
We record asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, we will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at December 31, 2011, we have not incurred any asset retirement obligation related to the exploration and development of its resource properties.

Comprehensive Loss
 
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we have no items that represent other comprehensive loss and, therefore, have not included a schedule of other comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Financial Instruments
 
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by ASC 820, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
We compute net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 5,000,000 as of  December 31, 2011.

Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Comprehensive Income
 
In June 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to comprehensive income. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continued statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the update requires certain disclosure requirements when reporting other comprehensive income. The update does not change the items reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to income. The update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting
 
In May 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting. The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. We do not expect the updated guidance to have a significant impact on the balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

We have implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Term of Office
 
Directors of our company hold office until the annual meeting of the stockholders next succeeding his or her election, or until his or her prior death, resignation or removal. Executive officers of our company hold office until the annual meeting of our board of directors next succeeding his or her election, and until his or her succession has been duly elected and qualified, subject to earlier termination by his or her death, resignation or removal.
 
Committees of the Board
 
Our board of directors has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administration functions. Currently, we do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee and do not have an audit committee financial expert. Our board of directors currently intends to appoint various committees in the near future.
 
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
 
We do not have a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors performed the functions associated with a nominating committee. Generally, nominees for directors are identified and suggested by the members of our board of directors or management using their business networks. Our board of directors has not retained any executive search firms or other third parties to identify or evaluate director candidates in the past and does not intend to in the near future. We have elected not to have a nominating committee because we are an exploration stage company with limited operations and resources.
  
Our board of directors does not have a written policy or charter regarding how director candidates are evaluated or nominated for our board of directors. Additionally, our board of directors has not created particular qualifications or minimum standards that candidates for our board of directors must meet. Instead, our board of directors considers how a candidate could contribute to our business and meet our needs and those of our board of directors. As we are an exploration stage company, our board of directors will not consider candidates for director recommended by our stockholders, and we have received no such candidate recommendations from our stockholders.

Compensation Committee
 
We currently do not have a compensation committee. However, our board of directors may establish a compensation committee once we are no longer in the exploration stage, which would consist of inside directors and independent members. Until a formal committee is established, our board of directors will continue to review all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees including stock compensation.
 
Audit Committee
 
We currently do not have an audit committee. However, our board of directors may establish an audit committee once we are no longer in the exploration stage, which would consist of inside directors and independent members. Until a formal committee is established, our board of directors will continue to perform the functions of an audit committee.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
We believe that our entire board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues reasonably expected to be raised by our company. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
During the past ten years, our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events:

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management - continued

Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible securities currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, would be counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or convertible securities but not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.
 
(2) Based on 52,501,110 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of November 21, 2012.
 
Changes in Control
 
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.
 
Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons and Corporate Governance

Other than as disclosed below, there has been no transaction, or currently proposed transaction, in which our company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of the following persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:

 
(i)
Any director or executive officer of our company;
     
 
(ii)
Any beneficial owner of shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;
     
 
(iii)
Any person who acquired control of our company when it was a shell company or any person that is part of a group, consisting of two or more persons that agreed to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of our common stock, that acquired control of Titan Iron Ore Corp. when it was a shell company; and
     
 
(iv)
Any immediate family member (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, a former officer provided $10,078 in advances to us and this amount was owing as at December 31, 2010.

Corporate Governance
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and on the over-the-counter market operated by Pink OTC Markets Inc., which do not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Under that definition of independent director, we only have one independent director, Ronald Richman

·
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
 
 
·
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

·
to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

by our stockholders;
 
 
·
by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
 
 
·
if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
 
 
·
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
 
 
·
by court order.

NuWa Group LLC is a U.S. person and we expect to rely on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the shares of our common stock.
 
On October 18, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Equity Line of Credit Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which we may sell and issue to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, and Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is obligated to purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock from time to time over a 36-month period, provided that certain conditions are met. The financing arrangement entered into by us and Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC is commonly referred to as an “equity line of credit” or an “equity drawdown facility.”
 
In connection with the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, on October 18, 2012, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to November 16, 2012 and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by February 14, 2013. The registration statement is to register shares of common stock to be purchased under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement and the shares of common stock to be issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC as the Commitment Shares (as defined below).
 
Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, issue and exercise drawdowns against $10,000,000 over a 36-month period (the “Commitment Period”) commencing on the seventh trading date following the date that the initial registration statement to be filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement is first declared effective. Before we can exercise a drawdown, we must have caused a sufficient number of shares of our common stock to be registered to cover the resale of the shares to be issued pursuant to a drawdown and the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock (the “VWAP”) must be greater than $0.01 per share on the trading day immediately prior to each drawdown.
 
We may request a drawdown once every eight trading days and there must be a minimum of three trading days between each drawn down request.

The maximum amount we can draw down at any one time is an amount equal to (i) 20% of the average daily trading volume of our common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the date of the drawdown request, multiplied by (ii) the average of the VWAPs of our common stock during such 10 trading day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no drawdown can exceed $250,000 or such amount that would otherwise cause Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to exceed a beneficial ownership of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.
 
On the day following the delivery of the drawdown notice, a valuation period of five trading days will start. On each of the five trading days during the valuation period, the number of shares to be sold to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC will be determined by dividing 1/5th of the drawdown amount by the purchase price on each trading day. The purchase price will be the lesser of (i) 90% of the VWAP of our common stock on that day and (ii) the price that is $0.01 below the VWAP on that date.
 
If the purchase price on any trading day during the five trading day calculation period is below the minimum price specified by us, then Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC will not purchase any shares on that day, and the drawdown amount will be reduced by 1/5th for each such trading day withdrawn.
 
The term of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement will end 36 months from the date the initial registration statement filed by us pursuant to the registration rights agreement is first declared effective by the SEC, unless otherwise terminated earlier. The Equity Line of Credit Agreement will terminate if (i) our common stock is no longer quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board unless the cessation of quotation is in connection with a subsequent listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, NYSE Amex, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the BX Venture Market, the OTCQB or the OTCQX, (ii) we file for protection from creditors under any applicable law or (iii) the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or before July 12, 2013. In addition, we may terminate the Equity Line of Credit Agreement upon five trading days’ notice.
 
In consideration for agreeing to the terms of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we agreed to issue the following shares of our common stock (the “Commitment Shares”):   ·
 
 
·
150,015 shares of our common stock no later than 30 days following the initial closing date (issued on October 22, 2012);
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Second Payment Date”) which is 30 calendar days following the initial closing date, 173,913 shares of our common stock, being equal to 0.5% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Second Payment Date (issued on November 19, 2012);
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Third Payment Date”) which is immediately following the date that the initial registration statement filed by us pursuant to the registration rights agreement is first declared effective by the SEC, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 1% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Third Payment Date provided that, if the number of Commitment Shares to be delivered to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC on the Third Payment Date causes Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC to receive an aggregate number of Commitment Shares (as of the Third Payment Date) of less than 2% of $10,000,000, then additional Commitment Shares are to be issued to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC on the Third Payment Date so that it has received an aggregate number of Commitment Shares (as of the Third Payment Date) of at least 2% of $10,000,000;
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Fourth Payment Date”) in which we have received at least $1,000,000 in aggregate upon drawdowns, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 0.5% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Fourth Payment Date;  and
 
 
·
on the trading day (the “Fifth Payment Date”) in which we have received at least $2,000,000 in aggregate upon drawdowns, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 0.5% of $10,000,000 divided by 95% of the average VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the Fifth Payment Date.
 
We issued and intend to issue the Commitment Shares and shares of our common stock upon drawdowns in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
In addition, we reimbursed Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC $5,000 and have agreed to reimburse them for up to $7,500 for its actual legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction

On October 18, 2012, we entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Debenture Purchase Agreements”) with two investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of $235,300 face value in principal amount of 5% convertible debentures due October 18, 2013 (the “Debentures”). In addition to the Debentures, we issued an aggregate of 705,901 common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one share of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for three years. The Investors paid us the aggregate subscription amount of $200,000 for the Debentures and the Warrants, which subscription amount was at a 15% discount from the principal amount of the Debentures.
 
Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at a rate per annual equal to 5% on the basis of a 365-day year. On the maturity date of October 18, 2013, we must pay the holder of the Debenture any accrued but unpaid interest on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, and on each date the conversion of the principal amount and, if applicable, interests under the Debenture, we must pay to a holder of the Debenture any accrued but unpaid interest on that portion of the principal amount then being converted, which amount may be added to and included in the principal amount being so converted on such date by the holder.
 
If we fail to pay any accrued and unpaid interest payable within three trading days following notice of late payment from a holder of the Debenture, then such overdue amount will entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law which will accrue daily from the date such interest was originally due through and including the date of actual payment in full.
 
The principal amount owing under the Debentures together with any interest accrued under the Debenture, are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holders of the Debentures. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.27 during the six months following October 16, 2012, and $0.35 thereafter and (ii) 70% of the average daily VWAPs for our common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding applicable conversion date. The holder must not convert more than 30% of the initial principal sum into shares of our common stock at a price below $0.15 during any calendar month and must not convert more than 20% of the original principal sum into shares of our common stock at a price below $0.11 during any calendar month.
 
If at any time prior to the maturity date of October 18, 2013, our common stock has for any 20 consecutive trading day period (i) an average daily VWAP price of $1.00 per share or greater, and (ii) an average daily trading volume of 100,000 shares or greater, we have the right (but not obligation) to convert the Debentures at the then applicable conversion price.
 
We must not affect any conversion of the Debentures and the holders of the Debentures do not have the right to convert the Debentures, to the extent that the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation (currently 9.99% of our outstanding common stock).
 
In connection with the Debenture Purchase Agreement, on October 18, 2012, we entered into a piggyback registration rights agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which we agreed to register shares of our common stock issued on exercise of the Warrants or issuable to the Investor pursuant to the Debenture, together with any interest thereon accrued but unpaid, if we determine to proceed with the preparation and filing with the SEC of a registration statement relating to an offering for our own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
In the event that there is no effective registration statement which registers the resale by the warrant holder of the shares underlying the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise.
 
We must not affect any exercise of the Warrants and the holder of the Warrants does not have the right to exercise the Warrants, to the extent that the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation (currently 4.99% of our outstanding common stock).
 
We issued the Debenture and Warrants in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933

We paid Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC $5,000, and have agreed to pay up to $7,500 for its actual legal fees and expenses. We also paid $11,250 and issued common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 52,943 shares of our common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC as placement agent fees and granted piggyback registration rights for the warrants.
 
On October 25 and 26, 2012, Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC and the Investors collectively exercised their full allotment of warrants on a cashless basis and received a total of 556,182 restricted shares of our common stock. We issued these shares of our common stock in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
 
1.      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
i.      To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
ii.      To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
 
60

 
 
Undertakings - continued
 
iii.      To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
 
2.      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
 
3.      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and
 
4.      That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
