Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2011
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
| 1. | Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 9, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Enterprises. The Company’s past and planned future principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has not identified and acquired any properties that contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its secretary and convertible note holder, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at February 28, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $284,444 and has accumulated losses of $479,929 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| a) | Basis of Presentation |
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31.
| b) | Interim Financial Statements |
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 1, 2010 with the SEC.
| c) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of financial assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
| d) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
| e) | Long-Lived Assets |
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
| f) | Asset Retirement Obligations |
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410 – 20, Asset Retirement Obligations which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. As at February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations.
g) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, amounts due to a related party and convertible notes payable.

g) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts payable, convertible notes payable and amounts due to a related party approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of February 28, 2011 as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | ||||

Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
| h) | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
| i) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in Canadian dollars and management has adopted ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
| j) | Comprehensive Income |
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. During the six months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive income.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
| k) | Basic and Diluted Net Income (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. As at February 28, 2011, the Company had 261,667 potentially dilutive shares outstanding.
| l) | Stock-based Compensation |
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.
| m) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends the ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measures and Disclosures. ASU No. 2010-06 amends the ASC to require disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also require more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance requires expanded disclosures only (see Note 2(g)), and did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
| 3. | Related Party Transactions |
| a) | As at February 28, 2011, the Company is indebted to the President of the Company for $91,848 (August 31, 2010 - $80,417), representing expenditures paid on behalf of the Company. This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and is due on demand. |
| b) | The Company recognizes donated services provided by the President of the Company at $250 per month During the six month period ended February 28, 2011, the Company recognized $1,500 (2010 – $3,000) in donated services. |
| 4. | Note Receivable |
On November 30, 2009, the Company sold its investment of 125,000 common shares of Macallan Oil and Gas Inc. in exchange for a CDN$100,000 non-interest bearing promissory note due May 31, 2010. The note receivable was discounted using a rate of 20% and accreted to its face value of CDN$100,000 as of May 31, 2010. As at February 28, 2011, the Company has not yet received payment. The Company believes ultimate collection of the amount receivable is not reasonably assured and, therefore, has recorded a full allowance against the balance at February 28, 2011.

Overview
Pioneer was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 9, 2005.
Pioneer is an exploration stage company. Pioneer’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. Pioneer does not currently have any interest in any mineral exploration properties and is presently seeking to acquire a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.
Management has decided to expand Pioneer’s focus and identify and assess new projects for acquisition purposes that are more global in nature.
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months management plans on acquiring an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property. Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in any new property. Management anticipates that Pioneer will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any interest in a new property. To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, even if Pioneer is able to acquire an interest in a new property, there is no assurance that it will be able to raise the financing necessary to complete exploration of the new property. Based on Pioneer’s financial position, there is no assurance that Pioneer will be able to continue its business operations.
Page - 11
In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:
| & | Management anticipates spending approximately $3,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $36,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Pioneer’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses. |
| & | Management anticipates spending approximately $12,000 in complying with Pioneer’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of Pioneer’s financial statements and completing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC. |
As at February 28, 2011, Pioneer had cash of $118 and a working capital deficit of $284,444. Accordingly, Pioneer will require additional financing in the amount of $332,444 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
During the 12 month period following the date of this annual report, management anticipates that Pioneer will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, Pioneer will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Pioneer’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock. However, Pioneer does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, Pioneer will not be able to acquire any interest in a new property and its business plan will fail. Even if Pioneer is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquire an interest in a new property, additional exploration property will be required before a determination as to whether commercially exploitable mineralization or quantities of oil or gas present. If Pioneer does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.
Risk Factors
An investment in Pioneer’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks. Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Pioneer’s Form SB-2/A filed on February 20, 2007 and Pioneer’s Form 10-KSB filed on December 11, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Working Capital
As at February 28, 2011, Pioneer had cash of $118 and a working capital deficit of $284,444, compared to cash of $1,005 and working capital deficit of $253,646 as at August 31, 2010.
There are no assurances that Pioneer will be able to achieve further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing. If Pioneer is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then Pioneer will not be able to continue its exploration programs and its business will fail.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Pioneer used cash of $3,823 in operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2011 compared to cash used of $5,107 in operating activities during the same period in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in the operating activities was principally a result of a decrease of $1,500 in donated services and rent, a decrease of $10,087 in gain on sale of investment, and a decrease of $4,205 due from a related party, which was offset by an increase of $8,719 in foreign exchange gain, an increase of $1,820 in accounts payable, and a decrease of $3,329 in accrued liabilities.

Donated Rent

Donated Services
Donated services are attributable to an expense of $250 per month in respect of services without compensation provided by Mr. Thomas Brady, Pioneer’s sole officer and director.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses are the general office and operational expenses of Pioneer. They include bank charges, filing and transfer agent fees, website costs, and rent.
Impairment Loss on Mineral Properties
Impairment losses on mineral properties are mineral property acquisition costs that do not meet the accounting standard’s criteria for capitalization. As a result of not meeting the criteria for capitalization the acquisition costs cannot be included on the balance sheet as an asset and a loss equal to the amount of the acquisition costs is recorded.
Accretion of beneficial conversion feature
Accretion of beneficial conversion feature is non-cash interest expense relating to Pioneer’s convertible notes. Pioneer records the value of the conversion feature included in the notes as an additional interest cost of the financing.
Mineral Property Costs
Pioneer incurred $nil in mineral property costs during the first six months of fiscal 2011. Pioneer has abandoned the exploration program on the Pipe Property.
Professional Fees
Professional expenses included legal, accounting and auditing expenses associated with Pioneer’s corporate organization, the preparation of its financial statements, and its ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Going Concern
Pioneer has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities. For these reasons Pioneer’s auditors stated in their report for the year-end August 31, 2010 that they have substantial doubt Pioneer will be able to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
Management anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of Pioneer’s common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to Pioneer’s existing stockholders. There is no assurance that Pioneer will achieve any additional sales of its common stock or arrange for debt or other financing to fund its planned activities.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Pioneer has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
Pioneer is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Critical Accounting Policies
Pioneer’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of Pioneer’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of Pioneer’s financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. Pioneer regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of financial assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Pioneer bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by Pioneer may differ materially and adversely from Pioneer’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Investment
Pioneer accounts for the investment described in Note 4 pursuant to ASC 320 – Debt and Equity Securities. On November 30, 2009, Pioneer sold all of its investment in exchange for a promissory note.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances that could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value that is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
