In addition, the Company is endeavouring to facilitate the establishment of an internationally recognized industry association (IGHSPA – the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association) in both of these countries to enhance certain product reputation and credibility. | |
| Development Stage | |
| The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception of the development stage have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities. | |
| The Company re- entered the development stage effective November 1, 2009. | |
| Interim Period Financial Statements | |
| The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations reflect interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim period. The results reported in these interim financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2014. | |
| Going Concern | |
| The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue since commencement of the development stage, has an accumulated deficit, and has had no positive cash flows from operations. It is the Company’s intention to raise additional equity to finance development of a market for its products until positive cash flows can be generated from its operations. However, there can be no assurance that such additional funds will be available to the Company when required or on terms acceptable to the Company. Such limitations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operations, and these financial statements do not include any adjustment that could result. Failure to obtain sufficient additional funding would necessitate the Company to reduce or limit its operating activities or even discontinue operations. | |
| Basis of presentation | |

| Comprehensive Income (Loss) | |
| The Company has no components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, no statement of comprehensive income (loss) is included in the accompanying financial statements. | |
| Use of Estimates | |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. | |
| Financial Instruments | |
| The Company has the following financial instruments: cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and compensation and amounts due to stockholders. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their liquidity or their short-term nature. | |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
| The Company reviews recently adopted and proposed accounting standards on a continual basis. The Company does not expect any new accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, of cash flows |
