Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited) (Presented in US dollars)
Scout Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 1, 1999. The Company was initially engaged in the business of designing, developing and marketing educational products for children, adults, business people, as well as new language learners. On April 10, 2006 the Company changed its name from Virtual Curricula Corp. to Scout Exploration, Inc.
On June 2, 2009 pursuant to a letter of intent (the “LOI”), the Company offered to purchase the rights to certain commercial products from Water Wise Environmental Solutions in consideration for issuance of 4,000,000 shares of the Company. The LOI contemplates the parties entering into a formal agreement by September 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash on hand of $4,960 and negative working capital of $156,174. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations.
We believe that debt financing will not be a feasible alternative, as we do not have sufficient unencumbered tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional financing will be equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and nor can we provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from such potential equity financings.
The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances, asset sales or a combination thereof, which is not assured. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. 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 financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies in its audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008, except as noted below, and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations for the period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited, except for the balance sheet at September 30, 2008, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 has not had any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 159 has not had any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
3. | Share purchase agreement |
On June 18, 2008, and subsequently amended, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Brian Mahood, defined therein as the “Vendor”, whereby the Vendor agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding Class A Voting Shares of Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. (“KRL”), an Alberta corporation, to the Company (the “Agreement”) with an effective date of January 1, 2008.
The purchase price for the shares was $760,849 ($775,000 CDN) (the “Purchase Price”) comprised of $24,543 ($25,000 CDN) paid in cash to the Vendor at the time of signing the January 28, 2008 Letter of Intent, $392,696 ($400,000 CDN) paid to the Vendor on Closing Date of June 18, 2008, and the issuance of a $343,610 ($350,000 CDN) debenture (the “Debenture”) to the Vendor with a maturity date of December 31, 2010, bearing interest at 6.75%. The Debenture was secured by a first charge on all of KRL’s assets. The agreement was subsequently amended such that the Debenture was increased to $360,000 CDN, of which $28,109 ($35,000 CDN) has been paid.
During the current period, the Vendor notified the Company that in the Vendor’s opinion, the Company was in default of the Agreement, and demanded payment of $325,000.00 CDN plus interest and legal fees and expenses. Due to declines in the market price of petroleum and natural gas that have occurred since the acquisition of KRL, the cash flow from operations of KRL has not been sufficient to meet the payments required under the Agreement.
As a result of these factors, pursuant to a Settlement, Share Sale and Release Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 100% of its interest in KRL back to the Vendor for consideration of $1 and release both parties from all obligations under the original and amended share purchase agreements, with an effective date of April 1, 2009 and a closing date of June 30, 2009.
Details of the amount reported as discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 are as follows:
Petroleum and natural gas revenues | | $ | 103,534 | |
Loss before income taxes | | $ | (45,257 | ) |

Resource properties
On March 4, 2006 the Company signed a letter of agreement with a non-arms length private Canadian Corporation for a 100% interest in and to the Wheaton River AAV 1-9 Claims situated in the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon Territory, Canada. Terms of the purchase require a cash payment of $5,000 by March 31, 2006 (paid) and $20,000 on or before September 30, 2006 (subsequently deferred to September 30, 2009), and the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company (issued at fair value of $0.05 per common share). The Vendor will retain 3% net smelter royalty, up to 2% of which can be re-purchased for $2,000,000. All costs associated with Exploration Mineral projects are expensed when incurred.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding the market price of precious and base metals, oil and gas, availability of funds, government regulations, operating costs, exploration costs, outcomes of exploration programs and other factors. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Our actual results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors. These factors may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. While these forward-looking statements are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding our business plans, actual results from our operations will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any future performance suggested herein.
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “Scout” mean Scout Exploration, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
Current Business
Effective on April 1, 2009, pursuant to a settlement, share sale and release agreement, we agreed to sell our 100% interest in Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. (“Kerrisdale”) back to the original vendor for consideration of $1 and release of both parties from all obligations under the original and amended share purchase agreements.
On June 2, 2009 we entered into a letter of intent to purchase the rights to certain commercial products from Water Wise Environmental Solutions in consideration for issuance of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock, to be issued in four tranches of 1,000,000 each, shares based on meeting certain performance objectives, including raising a minimum of $250,000 by September 30, 2009. Water Wise Environmental Solutions is a research and development and marketing company, focused on creating products that deal with the water shortage issues the world is currently facing.
Results of operations
Administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $76,557 as compared to $218,795 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is a result of decreased consulting fees associated with our acquisition of Kerrisdale that took place in 2008.
Discontinued operations represent the oil and gas production operations of our formerly 100% owned subsidiary Kerrisdale which was disposed of with an effective date of April 1, 2009 as discussed above under current business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash on hand of $4,960 and negative working capital of $156,174. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations.
We believe that debt financing will not be a feasible alternative, as we do not have sufficient unencumbered tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional financing will be financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged, and nor can we provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from such potential financings. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue our operations and our business plan will then fail.
Future Financing
We anticipate we will continue to rely on sales of our common stock to finance our business operations. Issuances of such additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our common stock or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned activities.

Item 4T Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of June 30, 2009, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules, as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses were (i) lack of a functioning audit committee, due to a lack of a majority of independent members; (ii) a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors; and (iii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to address the lack of segregation of duties, when funds are available to us. We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors, who shall be appointed to an audit committee, resulting in a fully functioning audit committee, which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by our management, when funds are available to us.
The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon us receiving additional financing to pay the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such financing, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
