Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

31 March 2009

1.   Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations

Amazon Goldsands Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. under the name “Gondwana Energy, Ltd.” on 5 September 1997.  On 23 January 2007, the Company changed its name to “FinMetal Mining Ltd.”.  On 27 November 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Finmetal Mining OY (“Finmetal OY”), a company incorporated under the laws of Finland.  During the fiscal year ended 31 December 2006, the Company changed its operational focus from development of oil and gas properties, to acquisition of, exploration for and development of mineral properties in Finland.  On 22 May 2008, the Company changed its name to “Amazon Goldsands Ltd.” and on 18 September 2008, the Company entered into a Mineral Rights Option Agreement and concurrently re-focused on the acquisition of, exploration for and development of mineral properties located in Peru. The Company is currently in the exploration stage.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finmetal OY, a company incorporated under the laws of Finland, since its date of acquisition on 27 November 2006.

The Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 December.

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2009 and for the three month period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company had a loss of $412,599 for the three month period ended 31 March 2009 (2008 - $1,157,588) and has working capital deficit of $353,419 at 31 March 2009 (31 December 2008 – working capital of $186,455).

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ending 31 December 2009.  However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.        Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements.

Principles of consolidation

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in these interim consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at 31 March 2009, the Company has cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $45,478 (31 December 2008 – $492,903), which are over the federally insured limit.

Website and software development costs

The Company recognizes the costs incurred in the development of the Company’s website in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-2, “Accounting for Website Development Costs” and, with the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”.  Accordingly, direct costs incurred during the application stage of development are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of three years on a straight line basis.  Fees incurred for website hosting are expensed over the period of the benefit.  Costs of operating a website are expensed as incurred.

Property and equipment

Furniture and office and computer equipment is carried at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life at rates of 20 to 30% per year.  The property and equipment is written down to its net realizable value if it is determined that its carrying value exceeds estimated future benefits to the Company.

Mineral property costs

Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-2, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Environmental costs

Environmental expenditures that related to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate.  Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations.  Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated.  Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

Comprehensive loss

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As at 31 March 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation

Effective 1 January 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No.123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Before 1 January 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to 1 January 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.

The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by SFAS No. 123 (as originally issued) and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.”  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  The Company has not, to the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No.128, “Earnings per Share”.  SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.  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 excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

Long-lived assets impairment

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

31 March 2009

Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Assets Retirement Obligations”, which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. As at 31 March 2009, the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations.

Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

The Company has not, to the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.

International Financial Reporting Standards

In November 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued for comment a proposed roadmap regarding potential use of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  Under the proposed roadmap, the Company would be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS in fiscal year 2014, including comparative information also prepared under IFRS for fiscal 2013 and 2012.  The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS on its consolidated financial statements and will continue to follow the proposed roadmap for future developments.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”.  FSP No. 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in periods subsequent to adoption.  Upon adoption of FSP No. 14-1, the Company will allocate a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes between a liability and equity component by determining the fair value of the liability component using the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate.  The difference between the proceeds of the notes and the fair value of the liability component will be recorded as a discount on the debt with a corresponding offset to paid-in-capital.  The resulting discount will be accreted by recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method.  The provisions of FSP No. 14-1 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon adoption and are effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 provides enhanced guidance on the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities and related disclosures and is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, issued by enterprises included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.”  SFAS No. 163 also requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation.  SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15 December 2008, with early application not permitted.  The adoption of SFAS No. 163 did not have a material impact on its interim consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  This statement shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company does not expect this adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.  In determining the useful life of intangible assets, FSP No. FAS 142-3 removes the requirement to consider whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost of material modifications to the existing terms and conditions and, instead, requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements.  FSP No. FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives.  FSP No. FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on its interim consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”.  SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivate instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  It also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying as hedges under SFAS No. 133.  SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2008, with early application encouraged.  The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”.  SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree  and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

The Temasek Properties

Effective 18 September 2008 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Mineral Right Option Agreement with Temasek Investments Inc. (“Temasek”), a company incorporated under the laws of Panama  (the “Temasek Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Temasek Agreement, the Company acquired four separate options from Temasek, each providing for the acquisition of a 25% interest in certain mineral rights in Peru potentially resulting in the acquisition of 100% of the mineral rights (the “Mineral Rights”).  The Mineral Rights are owned by Rio Santiago Minerales S.A.C. (“Rio Santiago”).  Beardmore Holdings, Inc. (“Beardmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, owns 999 shares of the 1,000 shares of Rio Santiago that are issued and outstanding.  Temasek owns the single remaining share of Rio Santiago.  The acquisition of each 25% interest in the Mineral Rights will occur through the transfer to the Company of 25% of the outstanding shares of Beardmore.

The Company may exercise the initial 25% option to acquire a 25% interest in the Mineral Rights after fulfilling the following conditions:

·   Pay $250,000 (paid) to Temasek on the date the Agreement is executed;

·   Issue 2,500,000 common shares (issued) of the Company to Temasek within five business days from the Effective Date (Note 7); and

·   Pay an additional $250,000 (paid) to Temasek within ninety days of the Effective Date.

The Company may exercise the second 25% option resulting in the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Mineral Rights after fulfilling the following conditions by 18 March 2009:

·   Exercise and complete the initial 25% option;

·   Pay an additional $750,000 (unpaid) to Temasek; and

·   Issue 3,500,000 additional common shares (not issued) of the Company to Temasek (Note 12).

The Company may exercise the third 25% option resulting in the acquisition of a 75% interest in the Mineral Rights after fulfilling the following conditions within 18 September 2009:

·   Exercise and complete the initial and second 25% options;

·   Pay an additional $1,250,000 to Temasek; and

·   Issue 4,500,000 additional common shares of the Company to Temasek.

The Company may exercise the fourth and final 25% option resulting in the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights after fulfilling the following conditions within 18 March 2010:

·   Exercise and complete the initial, second and third 25% options;

·   Pay an additional $2,500,000 to Temasek; and

·   Issue 5,500,000 additional common shares of the Company to Temasek.

Upon the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek will hold its single share of Rio Santiago in trust for the Company’s sole benefit and hold the share strictly in accordance with the Company’s instructions.  Upon the Company’s acquisition of a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek is entitled to an annual 2.5% net returns royalty.  However, if the Company pays Temasek $2,000,000 within ninety days of the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek will only be entitled to an annual 1.5% net returns royalty.

If the Company exercises the second 25% option, resulting in the Company’s acquisition of a 50% interest in the Mineral Rights, and fails to acquire a 100% interest in the Mineral Rights, the Company and Temasek will form a joint venture in which the Company will be wholly responsible for developing a feasible mining project and all necessary facilities and Temasek shall retain a carried free interest in the mining rights.  If the Company does not develop a feasible mining project within three years, the Company will be responsible to pay Temasek an advance minimum mining royalty of $500,000 per year, which will be deducted from Temasek's net return royalty.

Temasek became a significant shareholder through the issuance of the 2,500,000 common shares on exercise of the option to acquire the initial 25% interest in the Mineral Rights.

The Company breached a certain term of its Temasek Agreement. Subsequent to 31 March 2009, the Company re-negotiated the terms of the Temasek Agreement with Temasek to extend the option payment due date related to the acquisition of the second 25% option (Note 12).

The Apofas Properties

Pursuant to an agreement dated 22 January 2007, the Company had the option to acquire a 100% interest in five mineral concessions, known as the Poronmannikko and Sarkiahonkangas projects, located in Finland (the “Apofas Agreement”). Under the terms of the Apofas Agreement, the Company had the right to acquire a 100% interest in two projects by making cash payments totalling €1,000,000:

·   Initial payment of €150,000 due on or before 1 April 2007 (paid);

·   Second payment of €150,000 due on or before 1 April 2008 (extended by agreement to 30 April 2008);

·   Third payment of €300,000 due on or before 1 April 2009; and

·   Final payment of €400,000 due on or before 1 April 2010.

Concurrent with ratification of the Apofas Agreement on 4 May 2007, the Company issued 20,000 common shares as a finder’s fee. The mineral concessions were subject to a 2% gross proceeds royalty.  The Apofas Agreement was signed with a company controlled by a former president of the Company. During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company determined not to proceed with the option to acquire these projects.

The Magnus Properties

Pursuant to an agreement dated 6 October 2006 with Magnus Minerals Oy (“Magnus”), the Company had the option to acquire a 100% interest in four different mineral properties (Petrovaara, Poskijarvi-Kokka, Rautavaara and Tainiovaara) by paying option payments for a total of €1,000,000 in cash for each property over a period of four years (the “Magnus Agreement”).  The option payments were to be paid annually at the beginning of each year as follows: first year of €100,000 (paid); second year of €100,000; third year of €300,000; and fourth year of €500,000 per property for a total of €4,000,000 if all 4 properties are acquired fully; and by making a work commitment of €1,000,000 on each property, of which 25% must be conducted annually.  All properties were subject to a 2% net smelter return.

The first year payments for all 4 properties totaling $523,400 (€400,000) were paid during the year ended 31 December 2006.  The due date of the second option payment of €100,000 with respect to the Rautavaara Property was extended pursuant to an amendment agreement to 30 April 2008 in consideration of a €10,000 extension payment (paid) and payment of applicable government and landowner payments according to Finnish law (paid).  The due date for the first year work commitment of €250,000 with respect to the Rautavaara Property was extended to 31 August 2008 and the first year work commitment of €250,000 with respect to the Tainiovarra Property was extended to 31 May 2008.  During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company determined not to proceed with the option to acquire this Property.

On 11 June 2007, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Magnus (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company entered into a joint venture to explore the “Enonkoski area” in Finland primarily for nickel-copper-platinum group elements.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company had the right to acquire ownership from Magnus of up to a 51% interest in certain claim reservations, and pending claims comprising the Property as more particularly set forth in the Option Agreement.

It was intended that the Company be the operator of the joint venture and can earn a 51% interest in the Property by fulfilling $10,000,000 in work commitments and €3,000,000 in option payments.

In order to exercise the option, the Company was required to spend $10,000,000 in work commitments with minimum expenditures as follows: $1,800,000 by 30 November 2008; $2,200,000 by 30 November 2009; $2,800,000 by 30 November 2010; and $3,200,000 by 30 November 2011.

In addition, the Company was required to make a total of €3,000,000 in option payments to Magnus over four years as follows: €30,000 by 22 May 2007 (paid); €270,000 upon execution of the Option Agreement (paid); €600,000 by 30 November 2008; €900,000 by 30 November 2009; and €1,200,000 by 30 November 2010.

During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company decided not to exercise the option with respect to this Property.

Magnus is a company in which the Company’s former president has an ownership interest.

There are certain inherent risks relating to the title to the mineral properties and mining and exploration rights that the Company has an interest in through its above noted option agreement, as registration of some of the mineral claims with the Peruvian government has not yet been completed.  The Company, therefore, cannot give any assurance that it will have valid title on its mineral property interests.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate.

Factors that could cause or contribute to our actual results differing materially from those discussed herein or for our stock price to be adversely affected include, but are not limited to: (i) our short operating history; (ii) our ability to manage business expansion; (iii) risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; (iv) results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; (v) mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production; (vi) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies; (vii) risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; (viii) risks related to commodity price fluctuations; (ix) the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses; (x) risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms for our planned exploration and development projects; (xi) risks related to environmental regulation and liability; (xii) risks that the amounts reserved or allocated for environmental compliance, reclamation, post-closure control measures, monitoring and on-going maintenance may not be sufficient to cover such costs; (xiii) risks related to tax assessments; (xiv) political and regulatory risks associated with mining development and exploration; (xv) other risks and uncertainties related to our prospects, properties and business strategy; (xvi) potential that shareholders may lose all or part of their investment if we are unable to compete in our industry; (xvii) our dependence on key personnel; (xvii) sale of substantial amounts of our common stock that may have a depressive effect on the market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock; (xviii) possible issuance of common stock subject to options and warrants that may dilute the interest of shareholders; (xix) our ability to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Section 404; (xx) our nonpayment of dividends and lack of plans to pay dividends in the future; (xxi) future sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock that could depress the trading price of our common stock, lower our value and make it more difficult for us to raise capital; (xxii) our additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock; (xxiii) our stock price which is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a relatively limited public float; and (xxiv) indemnification of our officers and directors.

As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Amazon” mean Amazon Goldsands Ltd. and our subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

We were incorporated in the state of Nevada under the name Gondwana Energy, Ltd. on September 5, 1997, and previously operated under the name Finmetal Mining Ltd.  We were previously focused on the acquisition and development of our interests in the mineral rights on properties located in Finland.

- 4 - -

In September 2008, we reorganized our operations and our current focus is on the acquisition and development of our interests in the mineral rights on properties located in northeastern Peru.  Effective June 6, 2008, we merged with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Amazon Goldsands Ltd., pursuant to Articles of Merger that we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.  We decided to change our name to "Amazon Goldsands Ltd." to better reflect our current focus on the acquisition and development of the mineral and mining rights underlying properties located in South America.  

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of the properties underlying our mineral property interests, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future 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 any of the properties underlying our mineral property interests, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.  If we cannot acquire or locate mineral deposits, or if it is not economical to recover any mineral deposits that we do find, our business and operations will be materially and adversely affected.

We no longer have any interest in any properties located in Finland and have allowed our options on these properties to lapse and revert back to the optionors so that we can pursue the development of our interests in the mineral rights on properties located in northeastern Peru.  The disclosure that follows is a summary of those mineral property interests in Finland that we have decided not to pursue during 2008 by allowing our options to lapse and revert back to the optionors.

The FinMetal Oy Properties

On November 27, 2006, we acquired our wholly-owned subsidiary, FinMetal OY, a corporation organized under the laws of Finland, on November 27, 2006.  At the time we acquired FinMetal OY, FinMetal OY owned the option, pursuant to an October 6, 2006 option agreement by and between FinMetal OY and Magnus Minerals OY, a Finnish corporation ("Magnus"), to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral rights to four mineral properties located in Finland, and better known as the Petrovaara, Poskijärvi-Kokka, Rautavaara and Tainiovaara properties, along with all existing property data.  As indicated above, our options with respect to the Rautavaara and Tainiovarra properties have lapsed and reverted back to Magnus.  We are seeking to dissolve our wholly-owned subsidiary, FinMetal OY.

The Apofas Properties

On January 22, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Ab Apofas OY ("Apofas"), pursuant to which Apofas granted to us the sole and exclusive option to acquire, subject to a 2% gross proceeds royalty, a 100% undivided interest in five mineral property concession registration interest assets known as the Poronmannikko and Sarkiahonkangas gold prospects, which are located in northern Finland (collectively, the "Apofas Properties" and also known as the Oijarvi Gold Project).  We decided to allow this option to lapse and did not make the scheduled option payment or any subsequent option payments. As a result, our option with respect to the Apofas Properties has lapsed and reverted back to Apofas.

The Enonkoski Property

On June 11, 2007, we entered into a definitive Mineral Property Option and Joint Venture Agreement with Magnus, pursuant to which we and Magnus agreed to an option and a joint venture to explore the "Enonkoski area" in Finland (collectively, the "Enonkoski Property") primarily for nickel-copper-platinum group elements.  It was intended that we would be the operator of the joint venture and we could earn a 51% interest in certain valid claim reservations and pending claims comprising the Enonkoski Property by fulfilling certain specified conditions.  As indicated above, our options with respect to the Enonkoski area have lapsed and reverted back to Magnus.

- 5 - -

A description of each of our options to acquire the mineral and mining rights underlying properties located in Peru and the conditions that we must meet in order to exercise these options is set forth in Item 2 of this annual report.

We are also focusing on seeking additional mining opportunities, some of which may be mineral deposits that are fully defined and have already completed the feasibility stage of development and are ready to produce.  In other cases, the mineral deposits we seek to acquire may have a significant amount of proven and probable resources with what we believe to be excellent potential for expansion. We may also seek to acquire other drill-ready exploration projects that contain little or no proven resources, as with the options we currently hold to acquire existing mining projects in Peru, but that are strategically positioned to offer what we perceive as exceptional potential at a comparatively minimal expense.  In order to acquire any additional mining properties or exploration projects, we will need to secure additional financing.

Due to the extensive and expensive development programs required to prove mineral resources and reserves, as is typical in the mining business, companies such as ours sometimes are able to acquire deposits at significant discounts of the known in-the-ground value of the gold, silver, or other minerals.   In the event that we do locate a commercially exploitable mineral deposits, we may determine that it is commercially advantageous to sell our property interests rather than enter into production of any commercially mineral deposits on the property ourselves.

The Peru Property

Our properties are located in Peru are in the exploration stage.  These properties are without known reserves and the proposed plan of exploration detailed below is exploratory in nature.  These properties are described below.

On September 18, 2008 (the "Effective Date"), we entered into a Mineral Right Option Agreement (the "Temasek Option Agreement") with Temasek Investments Inc. ("Temasek"), a company incorporated under the laws of Panama.  Pursuant to the Temasek Option Agreement, we acquired four separate options from Temasek, each providing for the acquisition of a twenty-five percent interest in certain mineral rights (the "Mineral Rights") in certain properties in Peru (the “Peru Property”) potentially resulting in our acquisition of one hundred percent of the Mineral Rights.  The Mineral Rights are owned by Rio Santiago Minerales S.A.C. ("Rio Santiago").  Beardmore Holdings, Inc. ("Beardmore"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, owns 999 shares of the 1,000 shares of Rio Santiago that are issued and outstanding.  Temasek owns the single remaining share of Rio Santiago.  The acquisition of each 25% interest in the Mineral Rights will occur through the transfer to us of twenty-five percent of the outstanding shares of Beardmore.

We exercised the initial option to acquire a twenty-five percent interest in the Mineral Rights by fulfilling the following conditions:

·   Payment of $250,000 to Temasek on the date the Temasek Option Agreement is executed;

·   Issuance of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Temasek within five business days from the Effective Date; and

·   Payment of an additional amount of $250,000 to Temasek within ninety days of the Effective Date.

The Temasek Option Agreement provided that we may exercise the second twenty-five percent option, resulting in our acquisition of a fifty percent interest in the Mineral Rights, after fulfilling the following conditions within six months of the Effective Date:

·   Payment of an additional amount of $750,000 to Temasek, and

·   Issuance of 3,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock to Temasek.

Subsequent to the reporting period, we entered into an agreement with Temasek to amend the Temasek Option Agreement (the “Amended Option Agreement”) in order to revise the conditions required for us to exercise the second twenty-five percent option.  Under the terms of the Amended Option Agreement, we may exercise the second twenty-five percent option, resulting in our acquisition of a fifty percent interest in the Mineral Rights, after fulfilling the following conditions

·   Issuance of 3,500,000 additional shares of our common stock to Temasek within 6 months from the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, and

·   Payment within 12 months from the Effective Date of an additional $750,000 to Temasek plus interest at a rate of 5% per annum accruing from the date of the Amended Option Agreement to the date that payment is made.

- 7 - -

We may exercise the third twenty-five percent option, resulting in our acquisition of a seventy-five percent interest in the Mineral Rights, after fulfilling the following conditions within twelve months of the Effective Date:

·   Payment of an additional amount $1,250,000 to Temasek, and

·   Issuance of 4,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock to Temasek.

We may exercise the fourth twenty-five percent option, resulting in our acquisition of a one hundred percent interest in the Mineral Rights, after fulfilling the following conditions within eighteen months of the Effective Date:

·   Payment of an additional amount $2,500,000 to Temasek, and

·   Issuance of 5,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock to Temasek.

Upon our acquisition of a one hundred percent interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek will hold its single share of Rio Santiago in trust for our sole benefit and hold the share strictly in accordance with our instructions.

Upon our acquisition of a one hundred percent interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek is entitled to an annual 2.5% net returns royalty.  However, if we pay Temasek $2,000,000 within ninety days of our acquisition of a one hundred percent interest in the Mineral Rights, Temasek will only be entitled to an annual 1.5% net returns royalty.

If we exercise the second twenty-five percent option, resulting in our acquisition of a fifty percent interest in the Mineral Rights, and fail to acquire a one hundred percent interest in the Mineral Rights, we and Temasek will form a joint venture in which we will be wholly responsible for developing a feasible mining project and all necessary facilities and Temasek shall retain a carried free interest in the mining rights.  If we do not develop a feasible mining project within three years of the Effective Date (or by September 18, 2011), we will be required to pay Temasek an advance minimum mining royalty of $500,000 per year, which will be deducted from Temasek's net return royalty.

Planned Exploration Program

An exploration base is being set up in the town of Saramiriza, which is located in the center of the Manseriche alluvial camp on the western bank of the Marañón.

We intend to conduct a seismic survey along selected lines across the Marañón gravels in order to define the gravel-bedrock contact.  This information is needed to plan a drilling program and to assist with locating drill collar positions.  The selection of seismic lines will made on the basis of interpretation of aerial photos and satellite images, as well as from reconnaissance-scale mapping of sedimentary features.  Scout drilling utilizing churn drills will be undertaken on favorable areas, and anomalous zones will be followed up with reverse circulation drilling (Becker) in order to fully develop resources and reserves.

Before implementing the drilling plan, we intend to identify the landowners of the plots on which the mines are located so as to determine who the legal owners or current occupants are and/or the kind of tenancy or tenancy claim over the surface of the land, as well as the location of Native or Creole communities within the project’s area of influence.

An Environmental Impact Report will also be required to be drafted so as to obtain the Environmental Impact Declaration from the Peruvian Mining Authorities, which is an essential requirement for any kind of exploration in Peru.

- 8 - -

We intend to collect bulk samples collected by backhoe and an excavator will be required for metallurgical testing to confirm drill results.  At the same time, mine development planning, process design, and other engineering studies will be conducted with a view to completing a feasibility study within an 18 month period.  Permitting work will be initiated as early in the exploration and development cycle as possible, so that trial or pilot dredging can be started as soon as feasibility has been established.

We planned to complete the landowner studies and environmental report prior to June 30, 2009.  We anticipate that we will commence the mapping and geophysics in June 2009 with the initial drilling to begin shortly thereafter.  Our current cash on hand is insufficient in order to complete the landowner studies and environmental report and commence the mapping and geophysics and initial drilling program.

Provided we are able to secure additional financing, we anticipate that we will incur the following costs for the next twelve months:

We reported expenses in the amount of $412,599 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to operating expenses of $1,164,314 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in reported expenses was attributable to a reduction in consulting and management fees and mineral property acquisition and exploration expeditures incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.  We incurred consulting and management fees of $157,704 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $679,187 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  We incurred property acquisition and exploration expenditures of $136,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $341,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in mineral property acquisition and exploration expenditures is attributable to management’s decision not to proceed with the exercise of options to acquire certain mineral property interests located in Finland.

We reported no other expenses or income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to other income of $6,726 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted solely of interest income.  

We had net loss of $412,599 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $1,157,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  This decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to a significant decrease in consulting and management fees and mineral property acquisition and exploration expeditures incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $45,478 at March 31, 2009 and a working capital deficit of $353,419.  Our proposed plan of exploration anticipates that we will incur exploration related expenditures of $2,100,000 over the next twelve months.  Over the next twelve months, we will be required to make a payment of $750,000 if we elect to increase our ownership interest in the Mineral Rights from a twenty-five percent interest to a fifty percent interest and a payment of $1,250,000 if we elect to further increase our interest in the Mineral Rights from a fifty percent interest to a seventy-five percent interest.  We anticipate spending approximately $50,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $600,000 over the next twelve months.  The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.  Our current cash on hand is insufficient to be able to make our planned exploration expenditures and to pay for our general administrative expenses over the next twelve months.  Accordingly, we must obtain additional financing in order to complete the landowner studies and environmental report and commence the mapping and geophysics and initial drilling program described above.  We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have limited tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock.  We are currently seeking additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock, but cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our complete exploration program. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to pursue our exploration program and maintain our mineral property interests in good standing.  If we do not fulfill the terms of any of these option agreements according to our business plan, then our ability to commence or continue operations could be materially limited.  We also may be forced to abandon our mineral property interests.   If we are unable to raise additional capital in the near future, we will experience liquidity problems and management expects that we will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures and potentially cease operations.

If we are able to locate an appropriate partner, we may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to explore the properties underlying our mineral property interests. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determine to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the properties underlying our mineral property interests. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral property interests to the joint venture participant.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 used cash of $314,607 and $1,068,543, respectively, which reflect our recurring operating losses.  Our net loss of $412,599 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was the primary reason for our negative operating cash flow.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we used $250,000 in investing activities, as compared to $19,666 used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we paid Temasek $250,000 for the acquisition of mineral rights pursuant to the Temasek Option Agreement.

Cash from Financing Activities

As we have had no revenues since inception, we have financed our operations primarily by using existing capital reserves and through private placements of our stock.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $117,182.  There was no cash flows provided by financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2008.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.

Going Concern

We have incurred net losses for the period from inception on September 5, 1997 to March 31, 2009 of $11,609,046 and have no source of revenue.  The continuity of our future operations is dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and development of profitable operations from our mineral properties.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis.  The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Expenditures

Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-2, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, we assess the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

- 11 - -

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, we had not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.

Although we have taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which we have an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee our title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that related to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate.  Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations.  Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated.  Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or our commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective 1 January 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No.123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Before 1 January 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.  We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires us to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.  Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to 1 January 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.  

The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) does not change the way we account for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by SFAS No. 123 (as originally issued) and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.”  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  We have not, to the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Item 4T.        Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2009.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hector Ponte, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Carlos Stocker.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the

SEC's rules and forms

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.

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

Subsequent to the reporting period, we issued 140,000 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share, par value $0.00001 (the “Shares”), to a total of six (6) investors.  The gross proceeds we received from this private equity offering was $21,000. 

These securities were offered and sold in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In connection with the offer and sale of these securities, we relied on each of the investors’ written representations.  Sales were made only to persons who represented that they were “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.   Each investor represented that they were acquiring the securities for investment only and not with a view toward resale or distribution. We our stock transfer agent affixed appropriate restricted legends to the stock certificate issued to each investor.  Each investor was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision.  Neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf offered or sold these Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

The Shares were not sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.  No registration rights were granted to any of the investors.
