Business Organization
Lightlake Therapeutics, Inc., (formerly known as Madrona Ventures, Inc.) (the Company) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2005. On September 16, 2009, the Company changed its’ name to Lightlake Therapeutics, Inc. The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31. The company is currently in the development stage and to date its’ activities have been limited to capital formation. The Company is currently in the development stage and has limited assets and no revenue. In accordance with the FASB ASC 915, it is considered a Development Stage Company.
Accounting Basis
These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. At January 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011 respectively, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily share based compensation and loss on settlement of debt.
As of January 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011, the deferred tax asset related to the Company's net operating loss (NOL) carryforward is fully reserved. Due to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 338, the Company may have no net operating loss carryforwards available to offset financial statement or tax return taxable income in future periods as a result of a change in control involving 50 percentage points or more of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company.
Dividends
The Company is a Development Stage Company and has not yet adopted a policy regarding the payment of dividends.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net loss position at the calculation date.

Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use. These costs also include the expensing of employee compensation and employee stock based compensation.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 718, Accounting for Stock Options and Other Stock Based Compensation. Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollars. In accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Translation”, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the years ended, January 31, 2012 and 2011
and from inception (June 21, 2005 ) to January 31, 2012
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred significant losses and is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary funding it could cease operations as a new enterprise. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty
3. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has advanced funds to the Company for working capital needs in the amount of $126,412. The amounts were non-interest bearing, unsecured, with no stated terms or repayment.

The amounts were non-interest bearing, unsecured, with no stated terms or repayment. Concurrent with the Belmont Agreement, the former officer forgave the advances aggregating $28,816.
4. Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. This method requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

The Company has a net operating loss carryover of $20,818,525 as of January 31, 2012 which begins to expire in 2026.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards that were derived solely from operating losses from prior years. These amounts can be carried forward to offset future taxable income for a period of 20 years for each tax year’s loss. No provision was made for federal income taxes as the Company has significant net operating losses.
At January 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax assets as there is no assurance that the Company will generate future taxable income to utilize these assets.

6. Convertible Notes Payable
The Company issued $100,000 in Convertible Notes Payable during October, 2011. These notes accrue interest at 12.0% and are due April 6, and April 12, 2012, respectively. On February 3, 2012, both parties agreed to a change in the conversion feature. It was agreed that the notes can only be converted into the Company’s Common Stock on or after the note maturity date. Further, it was agreed that the Company, at its’ discretion, may prepay these notes by paying the outstanding principal plus accrued interest, multiplied by 130%. As a result of this change there was no dilutive effect on the Company’s Common Stock at January 31, 2012.
The Company evaluated the terms of this note in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the notes and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note. Therefore, the Company will recognize a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $12,778. The beneficial conversion feature has been recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital and charge to interest expense.
