NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Expressed in US dollars) |
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management) |
August 31, 2008 |
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN |
American Uranium Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 23, 2005 under the name Alpine Resources Corporation. On April 10, 2007, the Company changed its name to “American Uranium Corporation” by merging with its wholly owned subsidiary named “American Uranium Corporation”, a Nevada Corporation formed specifically for that purpose. On April 10, 2007, the Company effected a 50:1 forward stock split of the authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, the authorized share capital increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock with no change in par value. | |
The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No.7 and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests in the United States. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral resources that are economically recoverable. | |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenues and has accumulated losses of $5,120,919 since inception and is unlikely to 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 shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve its operating objectives, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties and the attainment of profitable operations. Management cannot provide assurances that such plans will occur. 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. | |
The interim period financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of annual financial statements, and in the opinion of management these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normally recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial information contained therein. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These interim period statements should be read together with the most recent audited financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended February 29, 2008. . The results of operations for the six month period ended August 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending February 28, 2009. | |
During the quarter ended May 31, 2008, the Company incorporated in Delaware, a wholly owned inactive subsidiary, American Uranium Corporation. | |
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation | |
These consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting principles as those outlined in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2008. These financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued) |
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 deferred income tax asset valuations, asset impairment, stock based compensation and loss contingencies. 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. | |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | |
The Company computes its net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common 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. 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. For the period ended August 31, 2008, potentially dilutive common shares relating to options and warrants outstanding totalling 6,080,914 (February 29, 2008 – 5,630,914) were not included in the computation of loss per share because the effect was anti- dilutive. | |
Equipment | |
Equipment consists of office and computer equipment and is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance at rates ranging from 20% to 30% per annum. | |
Mineral Rights and Mineral Property Interests | |
Mineral rights includes the cost of advance minimum royalty payments, the cost of capitalized property leases, and the cost of property acquired either by cash payment, the issuance of term debt or common shares. Expenditures for exploration on specific properties with no proven reserves are written off as incurred. Mineral rights will be amortized against future revenues or charged to operations at the time the related property is determined to have impairment in value. | |
The Company also considers the provisions of EITF 04-02 “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets” which concluded that mineral rights are tangible assets. | |
Asset retirement obligations | |
The Company records the fair value of the liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". The initial recognition of any liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. To date, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations. |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued) |
Impairment of long-lived assets | |
Long-lived assets are continually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. | |
Foreign Currency Translation | |
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on 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 financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. | |
Stock-based Compensation | |
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Accounting for Stock- based Compensation” (“SFAS 123R”), and applies the recommendations of this standard using the modified prospective method. Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of the awards, for all awards granted after the date of the adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding as at the date of adoption. Prior to the adoption of SAFS 123R, the Company did not issue any compensation awards. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This pronouncement permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning November 15, 2007, and early application is allowed under certain circumstances. We adopted the guidance effective March 1, 2008, without any material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R “Business Combinations” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R, which will replace FAS 141, is applicable to business combinations consummated after the effective date of December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s future reported financial position or results of operations. | |
In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51”. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s future reported financial position or results of operations. | |
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS 133. This Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier |

periods at initial adoption. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s future reported financial position or results of operations. | |
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The current GAAP hierarchy, as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, has been criticized because (1) it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, (2) it is complex, and (3) it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts. The FASB believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position. | |

4. | MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS | |
a) | On March 23, 2005 the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain mineral claims in the Nanaimo Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, in consideration for $1,750. The claims are registered in the name of former President of the Company, who executed a trust agreement whereby the former President agreed to hold the claims in trust on behalf of the Company. The Company had not determined whether the mineral claim contains mineralized material and consequently wrote off all mineral right acquisition costs to operations in 2006 fiscal period. | |
b) | Effective August 20, 2007, the Company entered into an option agreement with Strathmore Resources (US) Ltd (“Strathmore”) to earn up to a 60% interest in the Pinetree-Reno Creek uranium properties located in Campbell County, Wyoming. The property is held by AUC LLC, wholly-owned by Strathmore, and the Company will effectively earn an interest in the properties by earning an interest in the LLC. To earn its interest, the Company will: |
Issue 6,000,000 shares of common stock (issued at a value of $7,860,000);
Reimburse Strathmore 100% of the expenditures incurred by Strathmore for the property, up to a maximum of $300,000 (paid), plus any funds spent by Strathmore to acquire additional uranium leases (which will then form part of the property); none were acquired, so total payment due was $300,000; and

4. | MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS(continued) |
Contribute a total of $33,000,000 in expenditures on the property over a six year period, of which $1,500,000 must be incurred in the first year, $1,500,000 in the second year, $2,000,000 in the third year, and $28,000,000 before the end of the sixth year.
The Company will have earned a 22.5% interest once $12,375,000 of the required expenditures has been incurred. The remaining 37.5% interest will be earned upon incurring the balance of $20,625,000 in required expenditures. Strathmore is the operator of the property until the Company has earned a 60% interest. As at August 31, 2008, the Company has paid Strathmore, as operator, all funds required through August 31, 2008 towards exploration work on the property resulting in $741,293 of exploration advances to Strathmore.
Subsequent to the agreement with Strathmore, a director of Strathmore became a director of the Company. In January 2008, that director resigned as a director of the Company.

In August 2007, the Company completed a private placement consisting of 8,086,829 units at a price of $0.75 per unit for aggregate proceeds of $6,065,120. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. One whole warrant is exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $1.25 per share until August 23, 2009. The Company agreed to issue finders’ fees to various finders regarding all investors at a rate of 7.5%, up to half to be issued in stock and the remainder in cash. | |
In September 2007, the Company issued 258,296 common shares for finders’ fees with a value of $348,700 of which $2 was credited to common stock and $348,698 was credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of $348,700 was also charged to additional paid-in capital as a cost of share issuance. The cash portion of finders’ fees paid amounted to $283,444 and was also charged to additional paid-in capital as a cost of share issuance. | |
In January 2008, the Company completed a private placement consisting of 375,000 units at a price of $0.75 per unit for aggregate proceeds of $281,250. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. One whole warrant is exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $1.25 per share until August 23, 2009. The Company agreed to issue finders’ fees to various finders regarding all investors at a rate of 7.5%, up to half to be issued in stock and the remainder in cash. | |

The Company also agreed, if the shares had not been registered by that date, to pay as a penalty to each purchaser an amount equal to 2% of the amount invested for each month that the shares remained unregistered, to a maximum of 6 months. At August 31, 2008, the shares had not been registered for resale and, as a consequence, the Company has accrued in accounts payable the full penalty as a financing cost in the amount of $761,565. | |

5. | COMMON STOCK(continued) |
Stock Options | |
The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan dated September 15, 2007 under which the Company is authorized to grant stock options to acquire up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock. At August 31, 2008, the Company had 3,150,000 shares of common stock available to be issued under the Plan. | |
Effective with the adoption SFAS No.123R, the Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. Compensation expense for stock options granted to employees and non-employees is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest. Compensation associated with unvested options granted to non-employees is re- measured on each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. | |
The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, SFAS No. 123R requires companies to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. | |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this report.
Our audited statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We are an exploration stage company. We have commenced very limited operations and we currently have no business revenue. Our assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, nominal equipment and mineral property interests. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues in the future or that we will be able to operate profitably in the future, if at all. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since inception of our operations. Our company has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
Current Status of Exploration Projects
American Uranium Corporation has announced an exploration program at its cornerstone Reno Creek deposit in Wyoming. Analysis of historical data (including 1,100 drill hole logs) acquired from Power Resources Inc. convinced us that no more exploration drilling will be needed at the Reno Creek deposit. We anticipate moving this property toward future operation as expeditiously as is feasible given the time required of the permitting process.
On September 18, 2008 we entered into a lease and option agreement with Nu Star Exploration LLC pursuant to which we have the option to purchase all or some of the mineral claims, known as the ‘Rock’, ‘Big’, ‘Candy’, ‘Rush’ and ‘Wit’ properties, from Nu Star located in the state of Arizona. We refer to these properties as the Arizona Properties. The agreement is for one year and may be cancelled or renewed by either party.
As consideration for the lease and option on the Arizona Properties, we made an initial cash payment of $202,050.00 ($25,000 deposit paid on July 11th, $57,500 paid on Aug 18th to renew federal mining claims, and $119,550 paid on September 18th to complete 1st year’s cash paid for lease) and 150,943 shares.
At any time during the period of the agreement, we can exercise our option to purchase. The purchase price will be approximately twice the value of the renewal consideration that would otherwise be payable or transferrable to Nu Star by us if we had leased the Arizona Properties in the year following the year in which we delivered the Option Notice, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement, if commercial production has been achieved and we sell or otherwise dispose of yellowcake uranium that has been produced from uranium ore that was mined and removed from the Arizona Properties, we will pay Nu Star a 4% Net Smelter Return. Alternatively, we can buy back the royalty right for $1,000,000 for each breccia pipe that reaches commercial production.
During the initial term and each renewal term of the agreement, we have agreed to make spend certain amounts on or for the benefit of the Arizona Properties. We must spend at least the minimal amount necessary to maintain and preserve each and all of the Arizona Properties. The table below set out the minimum expenses we have agreed to:
3
Lease Period | Total amount of Expenditures required to be incurred on or for the benefit of the Properties |
September 18, 2008 through September 17, 2009 [Initial Term] | $NIL |
September 18, 2009 through September 17, 2010 [1st Renewal Term] | $250,000 |
September 18, 2010 through September 17, 2011 [2nd Renewal Term] | $400,000 |
September 18, 2011 through September 17, 2012 [3rd Renewal Term] | $400,000 |
All subsequent lease renewal Terms | $400,000 |
Because uranium exploration work is weather dependent, the preponderance of exploration expenditures tends to occur during the 6-8 warmer months of each year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial condition for the three and six months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

As of August 31, 2008, we had cash of $1,878,610 and working capital of $1,055,408 compared to cash of $4,104,596 and working capital of $3,323,736 as of February 29, 2008. We have suffered recurring losses from inception. Our ability to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued financial support of our directors and shareholders, the continued issuance of equity to new or existing shareholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.
4
Working Capital
The decrease in our working capital from $3,323,736 as at February 29, 2008 to $1,055,408 as at August 31, 2008 was primarily due to the exploration advance we made in the amount of $766,406, payment of $61,875 in accrued finder fees from prior year, payment of $58,271 in legal fees, $82,305 in accounting fees, $35,000 in director insurance, $935,585 in mineral exploration expenditures, $121,914 in investor relation, and $115,936 in management fee.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the three months ended August 31, 2008 we used net cash in operating activities in the amount of $935,475. The cash used in quarter ended August 31, 2008 by our operating activities is primarily represented by mineral property expenditures, administrative expenses and investor relations net of interest income comprise the balance. For the prior year the cash used in operating activities is represented solely by administrative expenses.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the three months ended August 31, 2008, we had incurred a net amount of $585,508 due to advances to the exploration activities.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months period ended August 31, 2008, we did not raise any additional capital. For the comparative period ended August 31, 2007, we had raised a total of $5,037,404 in cash by issuing common shares of the Company.

Revenues
We have had no operating revenues since our inception on March 23, 2005 through to the period ended August 31, 2008. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage company.
Consulting fees
For the six month period ended August 31, 2008, consulting fee expense includes fees paid for consulting services as well as an aggregate of $472,960 in stock-based compensation representing the fair value of vesting stock options granted to consultants.
General and Administrative
The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2008 was due to the increase in rent, travel for financing activities, director insurance ($35,000 annual premium).
Legal and Audit
The increase in legal and audit fees for the three months ended August 31, 2008 was due expanded scope of operations. Our accounting and auditing expenses were incurred in connection with the preparation of our audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements. Our legal expenses represent amounts paid to legal counsel in connection with our corporate activities and the preparation or review of our reports and other disclosure filed with the SEC. Legal and audit expenses will be ongoing during fiscal 2008 as we are subject to the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Management Fees
Management fees for the three months ended August 31, 2008 include fees paid to the Company’s president of $45,000 and stock base compensation expenses in an aggregate amount of $189,075. Management fees for the six months ended August 31, 2007 represent services donated by the Company’s former president.
Mineral Property Exploration Costs
During the three months ended August 31, 2008 we expended $623,809 on our Reno Creek project, of which $107,035 on property acquisition, $13,153 was spent on camp and field supplies, $499,381 was spend on environmental and permitting activities, $2,016 was expended on geological and geophysical expenses and $1,349 was spent on travel, drilling and administrative activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to
6
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Controls and procedures are designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In performing the evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control processes regarding information technology systems. These weaknesses include an inability to produce timely and accurate financial statements, inadequate security, inadequate restricted access to systems and insufficient disaster recovery plans. Management has also identified material weaknesses in our internal control processes over procurement and disbursements, primarily related to lack of segregations of duties.
More specifically, management has identified the following weaknesses:
Our company does not have a policy on fraud or a code of conduct or ethics;
Our company’s audit committee has no charter outlining duties and responsibilities;
Our company does not have Human Resources policies and Procedures and Function Activities are not clearly defined;
Our company does not have a specific Mission Statement or Key Performance indicators;
Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses;
Our company's accounting personnel and management does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for options granted to directors, officers and employees;
Tax returns have not been filed for our company;
Our company's accounting personnel and management does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for income taxes;
Our company’s accounting personnel and management does not have sufficient technical knowledge in the preparation of financial statements; and,
Insufficient corporate governance policies. Our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management.
We have not yet been able to remediate the weaknesses identified above. Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies. We plan to implement changes in disclosure controls and procedures during our fiscal year ending February 28, 2009 in order to remediate existing weaknesses.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Accordingly, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the control deficiencies listed above resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
7
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company’s common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
Risks Related To Our Business
1. Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration program that we intend to undertake on the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property, the Arizona Properties and any additional properties that we may acquire. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property and the Arizona Properties may not result in the discovery of uranium. Any expenditures that we may make in the exploration of any other mineral property that we may acquire may not result in the discovery of any commercially exploitable mineral resources. Problems such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions are involved in all mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our interests in the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property and the Arizona Properties. If this happens, our business will likely fail.
2. Because of the speculative nature of the exploration of mineral properties, there is no assurance that our exploration activities will result in the discovery of any quantities of uranium on the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property, the Arizona Properties or any other additional properties we may acquire.
We intend to continue exploration on the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property and the Arizona Properties] and we may or may not acquire additional interests in other mineral properties. The search for minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that exploration on the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property, the Arizona Properties or any other property that we may acquire, will establish that any commercially exploitable quantities of minerals exist.
Additional potential problems may prevent us from discovering any minerals. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. If we are unable to establish the presence of minerals on our property, our ability to fund future exploration activities will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
8
3. Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration and exploitation, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
The search for minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
4. The potential profitability of mineral ventures depends in part upon factors beyond the control of our company and even if we discover and exploit mineral deposits, we may never become commercially viable and we may be forced to cease operations.
The commercial feasibility of an exploration program on a mineral property is dependent upon many factors beyond our control, including the existence and size of mineral resources in the properties we explore, the proximity and capacity of processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental regulation. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and any one or a combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. These factors may have material and negative effects on our financial performance and our ability to continue operations.
5. Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.
Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, provincial or state, and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, provincial or state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.
Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, provincial or state, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or increase our costs of doing so, which would have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages that we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.
6. Uranium prices are highly volatile; even if we do discover a deposit of uranium, if the price of uranium is too low, we would not be able to exploit that resource.
Uranium prices have been highly volatile, and are affected by numerous international economic and political factors over which American Uranium has no control. The price of uranium has varied over the last five years from a high of approximately $138.00 per pound to a low of approximately $10.00 per pound. The price as of October 13, 2008 was $.46.00 per pound U3O8. Uranium is primarily used for power generation in nuclear power plants, and the number of customers is somewhat limited in comparison to other global commodities. The price of uranium is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including the demand for nuclear power, increased supplies from both existing and new uranium mines, sales of uranium from existing government stockpiles, and political and economic conditions.
Our long-term success is highly dependent upon the price of uranium, as the economic feasibility of any ore body discovered on its properties would in large part be determined by the prevailing market price of uranium. If a profitable market does not exist, we may have to cease operations.
9
Risks Associated With Our Company
7. Because both the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property and theArizona Propertiesmay not contain commercially exploitable uranium and we have never made a profit from our operations, our securities are highly speculative and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and our early stage of operations. We currently intend to conduct an exploration program on our Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property and on the Arizona Properties. Both properties are in the exploration stage only. We may or may not acquire additional interests in other mineral properties. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. So, any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and exploiting uranium on the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property, the Arizona Properties or mineral deposits on any additional properties that we may acquire. It is uncertain whether any mineral properties that we may acquire or have an interest in, including the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property and the Arizona Properties will contain commercially exploitable mineral deposits and any funds that we spend on exploration likely will be lost. We may never discover commercially exploitable uranium in the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property, the Arizona Properties or any other area, or we may do so and still not be commercially successful if we are unable to exploit those mineral deposits profitably. We may not be able to operate profitably and may have to cease operations, the price of our securities may decline and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
8. As we face intense competition in the uranium exploration and exploitation industry, we will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, financing or for qualified employees, or if our competitors are able to locate and produce minerals at lower costs, our operations will suffer.
Our competition in this area includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may have to compete for financing and be unable to acquire financing on terms we consider acceptable. We may also have to compete with the other mining companies in the region for the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, financing or for qualified employees, or if our competitors are able to locate and produce minerals at lower costs, our operations will suffer.
9. We have a history of losses and have a deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have not generated any revenues since our inception and we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we are in commercial deployment. Our net loss from March 23, 2005 (Inception) to August 31, 2008 was $5,120,919. We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1,878,610 as of August 31, 2008, which is not expected to meet our planned cash requirements for the ensuing year. We have no income from operations. We have reduced our budget and estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $100,000 each month. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully explore the current property and project and develop our business. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will likely lose all of their investments in our company.
10. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. If we do not obtain such financing, we may have to cease our exploration activities and investors could lose their entire investment.
There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. We will require additional financing in order to proceed beyond the first few months of our exploration program. We will also require additional financing for the fees we must pay to maintain our status in relation to the rights to our properties and to pay the fees and expenses necessary to become and operate as a public company.
10
We will also need more funds if the costs of the exploration of our uranium claims are greater than we have anticipated. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues. We will also need further financing if we decide to obtain additional mineral properties. We currently do not have any arrangements for further financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. If we do not obtain such financing, our business could fail and investors could lose their entire investment.
11. Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail.
Prior to the completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our exploration for minerals, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
12. We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in operating our business, then investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Our company has a limited operating history and is in the exploration stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of uranium on the Pine Tree-Reno Creek Property or the Arizona Properties. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Risks Associated With Our Common Stock
13. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling shareholders may cause a reduction in the price of our stock and purchasers who acquire shares from the selling shareholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the price of our common stock. We filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on August 6, 2008. We intend to file a further amendment to that registration statement. After our registration statement is declared effective, the selling shareholders may resell up to 26% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, which is 28% of our issued and outstanding shares that are not held by our directors, officers or control persons.
At that time, a substantial number of our shares of common stock which have been issued may be available for immediate resale, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. As a result of any such decreases in the price of our common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling shareholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling shareholders sell the shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling shareholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
14. We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to ever pay any cash dividends. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
11
15. Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.
16. Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.
Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On September 18, 2008 we issued 150,943 shares of common stock at a price of $0.53 per share pursuant to an agreement with Nu Star.
We issued the shares to one US person pursuant to an exemption from registration provided for under Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under theUnited States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
