NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2008
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 1Interim Financial Statements |
While the information presented in the accompanying January 31, 2008 interim financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s October 31, 2007 audited financial statements.
Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending October 31, 2008.
Note 2Continuance of Operations
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At January 31, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $150,012 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $75,750 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
Note 3Mineral Property
By an agreement dated June 22, 2004, the Company acquired a 100% interest in five mineral claims located in the Similkameen Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, for $3,298 (CAD$4,500). During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Company spent $4,500 (2006: $9,100) in exploration costs with respect to the property. Subsequent to this exploration work, the Company abandoned these claims.
F-5
Note 4Loan payable
The loan is payable to the President of the Company and is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment.
Note 5Related Party Transactions
The President provides management services and office premises to the Company at $500 per month and $250 per month, respectively. During the three months ended January 31, 2008 management services of $1,500 (2007: $1,500) and office expense of $750 (2007: $750) were charged to operations.
The amount due to related party is due to a director of the Company for unpaid rent and management fees. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment.
Note 6Capital Stock
In March 2004, the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares to a director of the Company for total cash proceeds of $5,000.
In September 2005, the Company approved a private placement offering of up to 7,000,000 shares at $0.01 per share for total potential proceeds of $70,000 (the “Offering”).
On November 30, 2005, the Company issued 7,000,000 common shares at $0.01 per share for total proceeds of $70,000.
At January 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants.
Note 7Subsequent Events
Subsequent to October 31, 2007, the Company received loan proceeds of $22,500 from a director of the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including any projections of earnings, revenues, or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operation; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; statements of belief; and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
We were incorporated on March 11, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We currently own a 100% undivided interest in a mineral property located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, that we call the “Sum Mineral Claim.” We have completed Phase II of our exploration program, which included VLF and magnetometer surveys on certain areas of the Sum Mineral Claim. In his report on the results of Phase II, our consulting geologist recommended that we not proceed with any additional exploration on the Sum Mineral Claim as the survey results did not indicate any anomalous mineral or structural trends.
Based on the recommendations of our consulting geologist, we have decided to abandon our exploration program on the Sum Mineral Claim and are currently evaluating alternative business opportunities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2008, we had cash of $1,366 and a working capital deficit of $73,250. Our accumulated deficit was $147,512 at January 31, 2008. Our net loss of $5,455 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was mostly funded by a loan from our President. During the three months ended January 31, 2008, we did not raise any cash through equity financing. During the three months ended January 31, 2008 our cash position increased by $1,366 compared to at October 31, 2007, mainly due to the increase in funds loaned to us by our President.
We used net cash of $19,492 in operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2008 compared to net cash of $10,619 in operating activities for the same period in 2007. We did not use any cash in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2008 or in the same period in 2007. We received net cash of $20,858 from financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2008 compared to $1,495 for the same period in 2007, primarily due to an increase in the funds provided to us by our President.
4
The change in exchange rates did not have any effect on our cash position for the three months ended January 31, 2008 or for the same period in 2007.
During the three months ended January 31, 2008 our monthly cash requirement was approximately $6,500, compared to approximately $3,540 for the same period in 2007. At the end of the period as at January 31, 2008, we had cash of $1,366, which will not cover our costs for three months according to our current monthly burn rate. We anticipate that we will continue to fund our current operations through money provided by our President. Subsequent to October 31, 2007, we received loan proceeds of $22,500 from our President. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment.
Since our mineral property did not contain an economically viable ore body, we have decided to evaluate other business opportunities. If we are successful in identifying and negotiating for the acquisition of another property or business opportunity, it is likely that we will attempt to complete the acquisition either through the issuance of equity securities or raising additional capital. There is no guarantee that we will identify, or successfully negotiate for the acquisition of, a new business and even if we do, there is no guarantee that we will be able to complete the acquisition through the issuance of equity securities or raising additional financing.
Results of Operations
Revenues
We have not generated any revenues since our inception on March 11, 2004.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $2,955 for the three months ended January 31, 2008, compared to net loss of $7,706 for the same period in 2007. The decrease of $4,751 in net loss was a result of decreased professional fees. Since March 11, 2004 (date of inception) to January 31, 2008, we incurred net loss of $147,512.
Our net loss per share was $nil for the three months ended January 31, 2008 compared to $nil for the same period in 2007.
Expenses
Our total operating expenses decreased $4,751 to $2,955 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $7,706 for the same period in 2007. The decrease in total operating expenses was mainly due to decreased professional fees.
We did not issue any stock based compensation for the three months ended January 31, 2008 or since March 11, 2004 (date of inception).
Our accounting and audit fees decreased $3,347 to $459 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $3806 for the same period in 2007. The decrease in accounting and audit fees was mainly due to a decrease in our audit fees. Our management fees remained consistent at $1,500 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as our President continues to provide us with management services at a cost of $500 a month. Our office and sundry expenses decreased $390 to $996 from 1,386 for the same period in 2007.
5
We have completed Phase II of our exploration program, which included VLF and magnetometer surveys on certain areas of our mineral claim in the Province of British Columbia, Canada (“Sum Mineral Claim”). In his report on the results of Phase II, our consulting geologist recommended that we not proceed with any additional exploration on the Sum Mineral Claim as the survey results did not indicate any anomalous mineral or structural trends. Based on the recommendations of our consulting geologist, we have decided to abandon our exploration program on the Sum Mineral Claim and are currently evaluating alternative business opportunities.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of January 31, 2008, we had no off balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of a date within 90 days before the filing date of this report and has concluded that as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal controls
Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls so no corrective actions were taken.
