| Nature and Continuance of Operations |
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 focused on the development and manufacturing of a new type of patented oscillating piston engine and other energy-efficient and environmental equipment in China for distribution worldwide. No revenue has been derived during the organization period and the Company’s planned principle operations have not commenced.
The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 January 2011 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 $663,462 for the nine month period ended 31 January 2011 (31 January 2010 - $790,634) and has a working capital of $262,905 at 31 January 2011 (30 April 2010 – working capital deficiency of $1,157,134).
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 interim 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 interim consolidated financial statements are the historical interim consolidated financial statements of Rotoblock Inc.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
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 2011. 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 interim 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 2011, 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 interim 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 interim consolidated financial statements.
The Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 setters 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Principles of consolidation
These interim 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 and accounts 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 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.

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 interim consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Derivative financial instruments
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.
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 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 stockholders (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.
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 January 2011, the Company has items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has included a schedule of comprehensive income (loss) in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Property, equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment have been recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation (Note 5). 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:
Equipment 5 years at 20%
Vehicles 12 years at 8%
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.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance 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. ASC 280 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 Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
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 interim 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, 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 ASC 718 did 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
The Company accounts for patent costs in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. In accordance with that statement, intangible assets with estimable 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 ASC 350-35-14, “Recognition and Impairment of an Impairment Loss”.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement”. SFAS No. 166 is intended to establish standards of financial reporting for the transfer of assets and transferred assets to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability. SFAS No. 166 was established to clarify derecognition of assets under FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Changes in accounting policies
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. ASU No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s interim 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 2011, no engines have been sold.
During the year ended 30 April 2010, the Company recorded a provision for a write-down in the amount of $108,745 related to the OPE Patents.

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 “Property 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.

14. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company measures its available-for-sale investment at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace; or
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activities.
The Company classifies its available-for-sale investment within Level 1 as the securities are valued using quoted market prices.

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 net losses since inception are $7,987,701. 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 remainder of the calendar year 2011.
Nine month period ended January 31, 2011 as compared to the nine month period ended January 31, 2010
For the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, we incurred net operating losses of $663,462, or $0.10 per share, as compared to net operating losses of $790,634, or $0.69 per share, for the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.
We incurred total operating expenses of $698,900 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, as compared to total operating expenses of $864,018 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.
Total operating expenses for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 consisted of $132,219 in salaries and wages (2010 - $178,082, cumulative - $706,226); $33,982 in professional fees (2010 - $43,089, cumulative - $520,132), 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; $264,296 in consulting fees (2010 - $98,845, cumulative - $1,392,741); $100,000 in public relations and shareholder information expense (2010 - $9,409, cumulative - $290,846); $110,421in travel and entertainment expense (2010 - $38,188, cumulative - $383,951); $33,000 in stock-based compensation (2010 - $408,728, cumulative - $3,190,726; and interest expense in the amount of $4,359 (2010 - $912, cumulative - $47,706. The balance of our general and administrative expenses were attributed to miscellaneous office expense, depreciation and filing fees incurred in connection with our day-to-day operations.
Our expenses decreased by $165,118 during the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, as compared to the nine month period ended January 31, 2010, primarily due to the large decrease in stock-based compensation (2011 - $33,000 as compared to 2010 - $110,421).
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Flows
We currently have $496,388 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.
There was no cash provided by investing activities for the three or nine month periods ended January 31, 2011.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 was $7,834, resulting from warrants exercised during the period.
At January 31, 2011, the amount due to a related party was $667, payable to a former director and stockholder of the company. This balance is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and has no fixed terms of repayment.
Commitments/Contingencies
On November 15, 2007, we registered 100,000 shares of our common stock by filing 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 $4.50 per share.
We entered into an employment agreement with our Corporate Secretary for a salary of $50,000 per year, beginning July 1, 2009. As of January 31, 2011, $13,000 in salaries has been paid and $67,109 has been recorded in the accrued liabilities section of our balance sheets.
We entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer for a salary of $125,000 per year, beginning July 1, 2009, and a signing bonus of $75,000. As of January 31, 2011, $124,587 in salaries has been paid and $148,276 has been recorded in the accrued liabilities section of our balance sheets.
We are committed to issuing 25,000 shares valued at $3,750 under a one-year consulting agreement for consulting services.
During the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, we issued 3,334 shares of common stock in error. We are in the process of obtaining the 3,334 shares to be returned to treasury for cancellation. This transaction has been recorded as a reduction in share capital of $3, a decrease in contributed surplus of $830 and an increase in accrued liabilities of $833 and will be recorded as a reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding upon the cancellation of the shares.
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.
Shares Available for Sale Investment
On February 11, 2010, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Samyang Optics Co., Ltd., (“Samyang”), a South Korean Corporation listed on the Korea Exchange, whereby Samyang loaned us $2,000,000 in the form of a Convertible Promissory Note. In turn, we acquired 977,966 shares of Samyang for the amount of $1,000,000. On May 13, 2010, Samyang exercised its option to convert the Promissory Note into 1,818,181 shares of our common stock.
Plan of Operations
On September 15, 2003, we 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, we were required to pay $100,000 in cash by May 31, 2004 (paid) plus interest at the rate of 24% per annum calculated from January 31, 2004 until the $100,000 cash was paid (total interest paid - $8,745) and $1,500,000 in cash by June 2, 2007. On October 25, 2006, we negotiated an extension to exercise the Option by thirty seven months. Pursuant to the amended option agreement, we 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 of Janaury 31, 2011, no engines have yet been sold.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer (collectively, the "Certifying Officers”) are responsible for maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Prior to the filing of this report, our Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (a) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and (b) that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have conducted a review of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed herein.
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 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement and/or instance of fraud. Controls are susceptible to manipulation, especially in instances of fraud caused by the collusion of two or more people, including our senior management. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Certifying Officers, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2011. Since our most recent evaluation, there have been no changes in our internal control of financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
