Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited) (Presented in US dollars)
1. | Nature of operations and going concern |
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. On April 10, 2006 the Company changed its name from Virtual Curricula Corp. to Scout Exploration, Inc.
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. The Company has continued to suffer recurring losses from operations and has no established source of revenue. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These 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 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. | Restatement of financial statements |
The investment in Kerrisdale Resources Limited (“KRL”) (Note 4) was originally accounted for as a controlled subsidiary subject to consolidation. Upon further review of the terms of the acquisition, management has determined that KRL was not actually controlled. The financial statements have therefore been restated to show KRL as a non-controlled investment.
The effect of the restatement on the balance sheet as at March 31, 2009 is as follows:

4. | Share purchase agreement |
On June 18, 2008, and subsequently amended, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Brian Mahood, (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 by KRL 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 subsequent to June 30, 2008.
Subsequent to June 30, 2008, 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.
The investment in KRL is recorded at cost. A loss from impairment of the investment has been recorded to reflect the settlement reached with the vendor as detailed above.
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 a 3% net smelter royalty, up to 2% of which can be re-purchased for $2,000,000.

7. | Share purchase warrants |
As of March 31, 2009, 1,397,000 (September 30, 2008 – 1,397,000) share purchase warrants are outstanding, with an exercise price of $0.75 per share and which expire on May 20, 2009.
8. | Financial instruments and risk management |
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
The Company expects to raise equity predominantly in United States dollars. The Company is conducting business in Canada where financial transactions are based on the Canadian dollar. As such, the Company is subject to risks due to fluctuations in the exchange rates for the U.S. and Canadian dollar. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency risk.
At March 31, 2009 the Company had the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars:
| | CDN Dollars | |
Cash | | $ | 57 | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | $ | 51,584 | |
At March 31, 2009 CDN dollar amounts were converted at a rate of $1.2614 Canadian dollars to $1.00 US dollar.

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.
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, and notes related thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operations
Over the next year our plan of operations is to review our existing mineral property, evaluate potential acquisitions of additional mineral properties, and secure financing for the Company to carry out its operations.
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash on hand of $1,671 and negative working capital of $144,949.
On April 1, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a private placement of up to 2,000,000 “Units”, each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and one warrant entitling the holder thereof the right to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, at any time up to one year from the closing date of the private placement.. During May 2008, we completed the sale of 1,349,500 Units and raised net proceeds of $538,451, of which $25,000 was a subscription receivable as at June 30, 2008, and we received payment of this subscription receivable in July 2008.
We used most of the proceeds from the private placement offering to fund the acquisition of Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. with $ 392,696 ($400,000 CDN ) in cash, with an additional $343,610 ($350,000 CDN) evidenced by and secured by a General Security Agreement by and among Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. (“KRL”) and the vendor of KRL, Mr. Brian Mahood. The balance of the proceeds from the private placement was used to fund ongoing general and administrative expenses and to supplement working capital.
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. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration or development of our mineral claims and our business plan will then fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund exploration of our mineral claims and acquisition of additional mineral properties as well as other operational costs, there is no assurance of success from such exploration activities. In the event we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims.
Purchase of Kerrisdale Resources Ltd.
On June 18, 2008, and subsequently amended, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Brian Mahood, (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 by KRL 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 subsequent to June 30, 2008.
Subsequent to June 30, 2008, 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.
Future Financing
We anticipate we will continue to rely on equity sales of our common stock to finance our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned exploration or development activities.
Results of Operations
General and administrative expenses have decreased from $127,123 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $26,495 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, mainly due to consulting and other expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2008 in connection with our acquisition of KRL.
Our loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $26,495 as compared to $127,123 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, for the reason provided above.
Item 3 | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Not applicable.
Item 4 | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's 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 report. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending September 30, 2012: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 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.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Item 2 | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. |
On or about March 10, 2008, we entered into a Business Consulting Agreement with Donald Jackler (the “Agreement”). As compensation to Mr. Jackler for his anticipated services to be provided pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, we issued to Mr. Jackler 150,000 shares our common stock on April 1, 2008, in a private placement transaction with additional ascribed paid in capital of $0.499 per common share, as part of the total valuation of the 150,000 common shares to be issued pursuant to terms of the Agreement.
Additionally, as compensation to Mr. Jackler for his anticipated services, we agreed to grant and to issue Mr. Jackler options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.40 per share for a period of one year from the date of execution of the Agreement dependent upon Mr. Jackler providing the anticipated services as provided for in the Agreement.
The shares of our common stock issued to Mr. Jackler were and will be “restricted securities”.
In July 2008, our Board of Directors rescinded the Agreement, due to Mr. Jackler’s non performance of the services as provided for in the Agreement. The previously issued 150,000 common shares will be cancelled and returned to our treasury.
