No revenue has been derived during the organization period and the Company’s planned principle operations have not commenced.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 31 January 2009 and for the nine 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 has a loss of $609,250 for the nine month period ended 31 January 2009 (31 January 2008 – $248,425) and has a working capital deficiency of $24,306 at 31 January 2009 (30 April 2008 – working capital of $85,594).
On 30 March 2004, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Rotoblock Inc., a Canadian corporation, wherein the Company agreed to issue to the stockholders of Rotoblock Inc. 15,000,000 common shares in exchange for the 7,200,000 shares that constituted all the issued and outstanding shares of Rotoblock Inc. Effective 30 March 2004, Rotoblock Inc. completed the reverse acquisition under the Agreement with the Company.
Immediately after the acquisition, the management of Rotoblock Inc. took control of the board and office positions of the Company, constituting a change of control. Because the former owners of Rotoblock Inc. gained control of the Company, the transaction would normally have been considered a purchase by Rotoblock Inc. However, since the Company was not a business, the transaction was not considered to be a business combination, and the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Rotoblock Inc. and the issuance of stock by Rotoblock Inc. for the assets and liabilities of the Company. The value of the net assets of the Company acquired by Rotoblock Inc. was the same as their historical book value, being a deficiency of $138.
Rotoblock Inc. was incorporated on 2 September 2003, under the laws of Canada. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the historical consolidated financial statements of Rotoblock Inc.
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. However, based on its prior demonstrated ability to raise 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 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.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At 31 January 2009, the Company has suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its management to perform essential functions without compensation until a business operation can be commenced. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company from the date of reverse acquisition on 30 March 2004, and its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Rotoblock Inc. since its date of incorporation on 2 September 2003. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation (Note 1).
Fiscal period
The Company’s fiscal year ends on 30 April.

Financial instruments
Fair Value
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.
Credit Risk
The Company’s financial asset that is exposed to credit risk consists primarily of cash. To manage the risk, cash is placed with major financial institutions.
Currency Risk
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. 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. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Concentrations and credit risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s existence and survival presently depends on its acquisition of certain patents (Note 3).
Derivative financial instruments
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated 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.
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 excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive loss
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements.
Property, equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment has been recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation (Note 4). Improvements are capitalized and maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is determined using a declining-balance basis over its estimated useful life of :
Property 30 years at 3%
Equipment 5 years at 20%

Long lived assets
SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. It establishes guidelines for determining recoverability based on future net cash flows from the use of the asset and for the measurement of the impairment loss. Impairment loss under SFAS No. 144 is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. Any impairment loss is recorded in the current period in which recognition criteria are first applied and met. Under the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas operations, the Company must periodically assess it proved properties for impairments by comparing the aggregate net book carrying amount of all proved properties with their aggregate future net cash flows. The statement requires that the impairment review be performed on the lowest level of asset groupings for which there are identifiable cash flows.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, supersedes SFAS No. 14, “Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise”. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this SFAS and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. 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 consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

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, consolidated 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. 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 Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Patents
The Company accounts for patent costs in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In accordance with that statement, intangible assets with estimatable lives, such as a patent, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” The patent costs will be amortized over their estimated useful lives upon exercise of the option (Note 3).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS 163”). 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 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 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15 December 2008, with early application not permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS 163 to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SAS 69”). SAS 69 has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS 162 addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity, not its auditor, that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for periods beginning after 15 November 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On 15 September 2003, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Option”) to purchase certain patents related to the Oscillating Piston Engine (the “OPE Patents”). Under the terms of the Option, the Company is required to pay $100,000 in cash by 31 May 2004 (paid) plus interest at the rate of 24% per annum calculated from 31 January 2004 until the $100,000 cash was paid (total interest paid - $8,745), and $1,500,000 in cash by 2 June 2007.
On 25 October 2006, the Company negotiated an extension to exercise the Option by thirty seven months. Pursuant to the amended option agreement the Company must pay a royalty of $50 per engine on the sale of up to 10,000 oscillating piston engines (“OPE”), a royalty of $20 per engine on the sale of up to 100,000 OPE, and a royalty of $2 per engine thereafter. As at 31 January 2009, no engines have been sold.

We are still in the development stages of our business and have generated no revenues since inception. Our net losses since inception are $5,230,956. Our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or be able to raise additional equity capital if and when needed; however, based on our prior demonstrated ability to raise capital, we believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating maintaining our business operations for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2009.
Three month period ended January 31, 2009 as compared to the three month period ended January 31, 2008
For the three month period ended January 31, 2009, we incurred a net operating loss of $116,211, or $0.003 per share, as compared to a net loss of $84,302, or $0.002 per share, for the three month period ended January 31, 2008.
We incurred total expenses of $116,211 for the three months ended January 31, 2009, as compared to total expenses of $84,302 for the three months ended January 31, 2008. Our expenses consisted of $17,580 in professional fees (2008 - $10,958, cumulative - $383,352), which generally consisted of fees for legal, accounting and outside services paid in connection with the preparation and filing of our periodic reports with the SEC; $25,000 was expensed as the fair market value of management fees for services contributed by our officers and directors (2008 - $25,000, cumulative - $275,000); $24,197 in investor relations (2008 - Nil, cumulative - $222,256); $39,320 in consulting fees (2008 - $39,973, cumulative - $827,331); and $5,676 for travel and entertainment expense (2008 - 2,980, cumulative - $124,277). The balance of our general and administrative expenses were attributed to miscellaneous office expense, depreciation, interest expense and filing fees incurred in connection with our day-to-day operations.
Our expenses increased during the three months ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2008, primarily due to increased expenses for investor relations, professional fees and travel expenses incurred in connection with the marketing of our product line.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Flows
We currently have $12,196 in cash in the bank and are continuing to seek sources of funding to continue our business operations. It is expected we will continue to need further funding until we complete a final prototype to bring to market for sale or enter into an agreement with a joint venture partner to complete our plans. We are currently researching both options; however, no definitive agreements have yet been entered into. We currently plan to fund future operations by public offerings or private placement of equity and/or debt securities as we have done in the past. However, there can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms to meet these requirements, as and when needed. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We do not own any real estate and do not intend to purchase any significant property or equipment, nor incur any significant changes in employees during the next 12 months.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 was $24,884, attributed to private sales of our common stock and common stock units, including share purchase warrants.
At January 31, 2009, the amount in due to a related party was $542 payable to a former director and stockholder of the company. This balance is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and has no fixed terms of repayment.
We have the following commitments/liabilities:
On March 30, 2004, we entered into a loan agreement for $500,000, of which $350,000 was received by November 30, 2004. During the 2006 fiscal year, the principal portion of the loan was paid out in full. The loan was secured by all the assets of the company, bore interest at 5% per annum and was payable on demand. Accrued interest on the loan has been calculated at $11,705; however, this amount has not yet been paid to the lender and is still due and payable as of the filing of this report.
On 15 November 2007, we filed our intention to register 5,000,000 shares of our common stock under a Form S-8 registration statement for future issuances to any and all consultants, employees, attorneys, officers and directors at a proposed maximum offering price of $0.09 per share.
We also have an obligation to issue 1,875,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.02 per share, for $37,500 to related parties for consulting services received during the nine month period ended 31 January 2009. These shares will be restricted from trading for a period of one year, as defined by Rule 144 of the United States Securities Act of 1933.
We anticipate no material commitments for capital expenditures in the near term. Management is not aware of any trend in its industry or capital resources, which may have an impact on its income, revenue or income from operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual or commercial commitments.
Plan of Operations
In May 2008, we signed a term sheet to acquire 51% majority interest in Hikom Gottel Corporation for $25,000,000 US in cash and stock options. The final purchase price is subject to an independent audit, which will be carried out during the acquisition proceedings. As of the filing of this report, no significant activities occurred related to this agreement during the nine month period ended January 31, 2009.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a non-accelerated filer and a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.

Preparing consolidated financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are affected by Management's application of accounting policies. These important accounting policies include the successful efforts method of accounting for property and equipment, revenue recognition, accounting for income taxes and foreign currency translation.
Management maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to timely collect the information we are required to disclose in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that the current disclosure controls are effective in timely alerting us to any material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
We also maintain a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with Management's general and specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (ii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with Management's general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. We believe that our internal controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our consolidated financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals. Since our most recent evaluation, there have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls, nor were any corrective actions required with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceeding. We were named as a defendant filed by a former consultant for breach of contract during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008; however, on June 3, 2008, the lawsuit was resolved with no financial damages to us.
Our securities are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including among other items the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10K-SB, filed on August 13, 2008.
