(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

31 October 2009
Rotoblock Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 22 March 2004.
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 31 October 2009 and for the six 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 $770,500 for the six month period ended 31 October 2009 (31 October 2008 – $493,039) and has a working capital deficiency of $191,460 at 31 October 2009 (30 April 2009 – $30,007).
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. 300,000 common shares in exchange for the 144,000 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.
Effective 3 February 2009, the Company effected a one (1) for fifty (50) reverse stock split (Note 10). All share and warrant amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and in the notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The effect of the reverse stock split on 2003 to 2007 disclosures is unaudited.
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.

31 October 2009
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 2010. 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 October 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 ("GAAP") 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.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company operates in an emerging industry that is subject to market acceptance and technological change. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial instruments
Fair Value
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due to related party, 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 consolidated 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 ASC 740, “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 ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 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
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 31 October 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidatd 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
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 ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
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.
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 ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. 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.
Stock-based compensation
Effective 1 January 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, 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). The Company adopted ASC 718 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 ASC 718 does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees".
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Patents
In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for determining the useful life of an intangible assets. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. In determining the useful life of intangible assets, ASC 350 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. ASC 350 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides valuation techniques to measure fair value in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. The guidance provided in this update is effective 1 January 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. SFAS No. 167, which amends ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and eliminates the quantitative model. The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. SFAS 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. SFAS No. 167, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative. SFAS No. 167 is effective 1 January 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

31 October 2009
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement”. SFAS No. 166 removes the concept of qualifying special-purpose entity from ASC 860-10, "Transfers and Servicing", and removes the exception from applying ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”. These statements also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. SFAS No. 166, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative. This statement is effective 1 January 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 166 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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 consolidated 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.
Changes in accounting policies
The Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principle – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The Codification reorganized existing U.S. accounting and reporting standards issued by the FASB and other related private sector standard setter into a single source of authoritative accounting principles arranged by topic. The Codification supersedes all existing U.S. accounting standards; all other accounting literature not included in the Codification (other than Securities and Exchange Commission guidance for publicly-traded companies) is considered non-authoritative. The Codification was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods ending after 15 September 2009. The adoption of the Codification changed the Company’s references to U.S. GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for accounting for subsequent events. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 855, “Subsequent Events” is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. The new guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual reporting periods ending after 15 June 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Debt
In May 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” requires the liability and equity components to be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. 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 nonconvertible 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 new guidance was to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for determining the useful life of an intangible assets, the new guidance, which is now part of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. In determining the useful life of intangible assets, ASC 350 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. ASC 350 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on the disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new guidance was effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance for accounting for business combinations. The revised guidance, which is now part of ASC 805, “Business Combination” requires the fair value measurement of assts acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the acquisition date with limited exceptions. Previously, a cost allocation approach was used to allocate the cost of the acquisition based on the estimated fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The cost allocation approach treated acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs that the acquirer expected to incur as a liability on the acquisition date, as part of the cost of the acquisition. Under the revised guidance, those costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income separately from the business combination. The revised guidance applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 15 December 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact 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 October 2009, no engines have been sold.

On 24 November 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Balance Sheet Enhancement Agreement with a related party (the “Related Party”) to acquire an undivided 25% tenancy-in-common interest in a property located in Merced, California (the “Agreement”). The purchase price of the land and building was $250,000 and was paid for by the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $250,000. On 29 July 2009, the Company disposed of the land and building back to the Related Party for proceeds of $250,000 resulting in a gain of $1,384. As consideration, the Related Party returned the 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $250,000 and these shares were cancelled on 29 July 2009 (Notes 9, 10 and 13).

The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to 31 October 2009.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
We are still in the development stages of our business and have generated no revenues since inception. Our total comprehensive net losses since inception are $6,182,797. 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, 2010.
Three month period ended October 31, 2009 as compared to the three month period ended October 31, 2008
For the three month period ended October 31, 2009, we incurred comprehensive net operating losses of $684,371, or $0.56 per share, as compared to comprehensive net operating losses of $102,254, or $0.13 per share, for the three month period ended October 31, 2008.
We incurred total operating expenses of $684,248 for the three month period ended October 31, 2009, as compared to total operating expenses of $102,320 for the three month period ended October 31, 2008.
Total operating expenses for the three month period ended October 31, 2009 consisted of $405,000 in stock-based compensation (2008- $Nil, cumulative - $2,932,726); $133,973 in salaries and wages (2008- $Nil, cumulative - $133,973); $21,189 in professional fees (2008 - $14,899, cumulative - $439,469), 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 - $350,000); $48,776 in consulting fees (2008 - $2,362, cumulative - $955,179); $8,006 in public relations and shareholder information expense (2008 - $14,622, cumulative - $190,364); and $36,510 for travel and entertainment expense (2008 - $13,335, cumulative - $162,465). 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 significantly during the three month period ended October 31, 2009, as compared to the three month period ended October 31, 2008, primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation, consulting fees and salaries and wages expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Flows
We currently have $20,314 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 the final prototype of our product 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 successfully. 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. 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 three month period ended October 31, 2009 was $100,008, attributed to private sales of our common stock.
At October 31, 2009, the amount due to a related party was $622 payable to a former director and stockholder of the company. This balance is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and has no fixed terms of repayment.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). 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.
