1. Incorporation and nature of operations
Balaton Power, Inc. ("Balaton" or the "Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporation Act under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 25, 1986. On October 31, 2002, Continental Resources (USA) LTD. ("CRL") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Balaton. CRL was originally incorporated in July of 1997 under the laws of the State of Delaware, USA and was reincorporated in July of 2004 under the laws of the state Nevada, USA.
The Company's principal business is focused on the exploration of a bauxite deposit in the State of Orissa in India and is in the early stages of exploring the potential of having nickel and copper in the Voisey's Bay property in northern Labrador, Canada. The Company is currently seeking approval from the State of Orrisa Government for a joint venture agreement relating to the bauxite deposit.
2. Basis of presentation and going concern uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Balaton and CRL (collectively the"Company"). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America.
The Company's principal business is focused on the exploration of a bauxite deposit in the State of Orissa in India and the exploration of a property in the Voisey's Bay area in northern Labrador, Canada for copper and nickel. The Company is currently seeking approval from the State of Orissa Government for a joint venture agreement relating to the bauxite deposit.
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. These financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
3. Significant accounting policies
Accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

3. Significant accounting policies(cont'd)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits at Canadian and United States financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Mineral property
The Company expenses all exploration costs incurred on properties other than acquisition costs prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. The Company performs evaluations of its assets to assess the recoverability of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable utilizing established guidelines based upon discounted future net cash flows from asset or upon the determination that certain exploration properties do not have sufficient potential for economic mineralization.
Costs related to the acquisition, exploration, development and inherent costs to the management of the mineral properties are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production. If commercially profitable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized on the unit of production method. If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are not recoverable over the estimated economic life of the property, or the project is abandoned, the project is written down to its net realizable value. Recovery of the amounts recorded under mineral properties is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the financing needed to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal thereof. The amount shown for mineral property does not necessarily reflect future or present values.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock 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 of determining fair value. The 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 term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. 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.

3. Significant accounting policies(cont'd)
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including contingently issuable shares which are included when the conditions necessary for issuance have been met. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include potentially issuable common shares from the assumed exercise of common share purchase options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares included in the calculation is based on the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Diluted loss per share has not been provided as it would be anti-dilutive.
Foreign currency translation
The Company uses the United States Dollar as its functional currency. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 52,"Foreign Currency Translation" (ASC 830). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the period-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rates in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Transactions occurring during the period are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transaction. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 820"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" requires 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- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricings.
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157 (ASC 820), the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents is determined based on"Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest risk.

3. Significant accounting policies(cont'd)
Currency risk
The Company's property interests in India make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is affected by changes in exchange rates between the US Dollar, the Canadian Dollar and foreign functional currencies. The Company does not invest in foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risks.
Credit risk
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held in Canadian and U.S. financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset-backed commercial paper in its cash and cash equivalents. The Company's accounts receivable consists primarily of goods and services tax due from the federal government of Canada.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances payable are due within the current operating period.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of the cash and cash equivalents is limited because they are generally held to maturity.
Commodity price risk
The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of aluminum. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company places its cash and cash equivalent with high credit quality financial institution.

3. Significant accounting policies(cont'd)
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income 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 carryforwards. 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.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior years have been reclassified to conform with 2011 presentation.
4. Common stock
On July 27, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the"Purchase of Options Right Agreement") with JAL Exploration Inc.

In consideration for entering into the Settlement Agreement and thereby settling the claims, CRL will pay to VISA all legal expenses incurred by VISA, amounting to 4,700,000 INR ($99,640 US) for filing and contesting the proceedings filed against CRL, with 1,250,000 INR ($26,505 US) of the settlement amount (the"Initial Payment") due on September 23, 2009 (paid) and the remaining sum of 3,450,000 INR ($73,135 US) of the Settlement Amount to be adjusted towards payments to be made by VISA to CRL under certain provision of the consortium agreement.
Among other things, under the Consortium Agreement CRL and VISA have agreed to incorporate a SPV in the name of VISA Aluminium Limited, whereby CRL will retain 26% of the issued and paid up equity share capital with the remaining balance of 74% of the equity share capital held by VISA. Based on the terms of the Consortium Agreement VISA has agreed to pay 74% of the pre project expenditures incurred by CRL amounting to $1,000,000 US, therefore $740,000 US of the cost will have to be borne by VISA upon (1) the signing of the Joint Venture agreement with the Orissa Mining Corporation and (2) on receipt of approval from the Government of Orissa and the Government of India to the proposed SPV.
10. Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Income tax benefit differs from the amount that would result from applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates to losses before income taxes.
Pursuant to ASC 740 the potential benefit of net operating loss carry forwards has not been recognized in the financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

10. Income taxes(cont'd)
The Company is subject to United States and Canadian federal and state income taxes at an approximate rate of 34%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at Canadian and United States statutory rates compared to the Company's income tax expense as reported is as follows:
| September 30, 2011 | September 30, 2010 |
Loss before income taxes | $ (236,051) | $ (325,965) |
Income tax rate | 34% | 34% |
Income tax recovery | (80,250) | (111,000) |
Permanent differences | 23,000 | 27,000 |
Valuation allowance change | 57,250 | 84,000 |
Deferred income tax (recovery) | $ - | $ - |
Future income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The significant components of future income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| September 30, 2011 | December 31, 2010 |
Total deferred tax assets | $ 2,496,342 | $ 1,917,706 |
Valuation allowance | (2,496,342) | (1,917,706) |
Net deferred tax assets | $ - | $ - |
Deferred income tax (liability) | $ - | $ - |
The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the realization will not occur. The valuation allowance is reviewed periodically. When circumstance change and this causes a change in management's judgment about the realizeability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.
The net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $5,809,000 and will begin to expire in 2012.
Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, use of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% in a moving three year period. Ownership changes could impact the Company's ability to utilize net operating losses and credit carryforwards remaining at the ownership change date. The limitation will be determined by the fair market value of common stock outstanding prior to the ownership change, multiplied by the applicable federal rate. The Canadian non-capital loss carryforwards may also be limited by a change in Company ownership.
