NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| (a) The Company First Quantum Ventures, Inc.. is a Nevada chartered development stage corporation which conducts business from its headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida. |
The following summarize the more significant accounting and reporting policies and practices of the Company:
| (b) Use of estimates The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. |
| (c) Start-up costs Costs of start-up activities, including organization costs, are expensed as incurred, in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5. |
(d) Stock compensation for services rendered The Company may issue shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered. The costs of the services are valued according to generally accepted accounting principles and have been charged to operations.
| (e) Net income (loss) per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. |
(f) Property and equipment All property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.
(g) Cash and equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents
(h) Interim financial information The financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and include all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation, and such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the three months are not indicative of a full year results.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial position and operating results raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as reflected by the net loss of $114,952 accumulated through September 30, 2009. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon commencing operations, developing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional capital to allow it to begin its planned operations

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has entered into a convertible line of credit payable, which bears a 10% interest rate, a maturity date of December 31, 2011 and is unsecured. The line allows for draws up to $100,000, of which the Company has drawn $77,156. It is convertible at the option of the holder at the lesser of 60% of the 3 day prior closing price, $0.01 or the price shares are sold to a third party.
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
At September 30, 2009, the Company has 500,000,000 shares of par value $0.001 common stock authorized and 340,632 issued and outstanding.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q as well as our other SEC filings.
Overview
First Quantum Ventures, Inc., (“FQVI”) was originally formed as Cine-Source Entertainment, Inc., (“Old Corporation”) a Colorado Corporation, on July 29, 1988. Pursuant to a Plan of Merger dated February 24, 2004, the Old Corporation filed Articles and Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado merging the Old Corporation into Cine-Source Entertainment, Inc., (“The Surviving Corporation”), a Colorado Corporation. A previous controlling shareholder group of the Old Corporation arranged the merger for business reasons that did not materialize. On April 26, 2004, the Company effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock split. Thereafter, the name of the surviving corporation was changed to First Quantum Ventures, Inc., on April 27, 2004. On April 13, 2006 the Surviving Corporation formed a wholly owned subsidiary, a Nevada Corporation named First Quantum Ventures, Inc., and on May 5, 2006 merged Surviving Corporation into First Quantum Ventures, Inc., the Nevada Corporation.
The Company is a start-up, developmental stage company and has not yet generated or realized any revenues from business operations. The Company's auditors have issued a going concern opinion in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. This means that our auditors believe there is doubt that the Company can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless it obtains additional capital to pay its bills. This is because the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources such as investments by others in the Company and through possible transactions with strategic or joint venture partners. In the event we raise cash, we will likely use such funds to develop a new business plan, which is as yet undetermined. We do not plan to use any capital raised for the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes appearing subsequently under the caption "Financial Statements".
Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2009 to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2008
Revenues
The Company did not generate any revenues from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008. Accordingly, comparisons with prior periods are not meaningful. The Company is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and cost increases in services.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $10,998 from $2,697 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $13,695 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in our net operating expenses is due to increased professional fees expenses incurred.
Net Loss
Net loss increased by $10,998 from net loss of $2,697 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to a net loss of $13,695 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net operating loss is due to the increased professional fees expenses incurred.
At September 30, 2009, our accumulated deficit was $114,952.
Assets and Liabilities
Our total assets were $8,019 at September 30, 2009. Our assets consist of cash of $8,019.
Total Current Liabilities are $11,785 at September 30, 2009. Our accrued interest on line of credit payable is $11,785.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,019. Our working capital is presently minimal and there can be no assurance that our financial condition will improve. To date, we have not generated cash flow from operations. Consequently, we have been dependent upon third party loans to fund our cash requirements.
As of September 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $3,766. At September 30, 2009, total liabilities were $88,941. This increase is attributable to borrowing to pay expenses. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding debt other than a long-term line of credit. The Company is seeking to raise capital to implement the Company's business strategy. In the event additional capital is not raised, the Company may seek a merger, acquisition or outright sale.
No trends have been identified which would materially increase or decrease our results of operations or liquidity.
Plan of Operation
The Company's plan of operation through June 30, 2010 is to focus on finding a suitable merger candidate or a viable business plan. The Company is seeking to raise capital to implement the Company's business strategy. In the event additional capital is not raised, the Company may seek a merger, acquisition or outright sale.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 materially from those estimates.
Loss per share: Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless consideration of such dilutive potential common shares would result in anti-dilution. Common stock equivalents were not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Going Concern.
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is in serious need of additional financing. These factors among others indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event that it cannot obtain additional financing or, in the alternative, affect a merger or acquisition. The Company's continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to conduct its operations and its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. ��The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is not subject to any specific market risk other than that encountered by any other public company related to being publicly traded.
Item 4T - Controls and Procedures
Our management, which includes our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our principal financial officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective for timely gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to disclose in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because of adjustments required by our independent auditors, primarily in the area of notes payable. Specifically, our independent auditors identified deficiencies in our internal controls and disclosures related to the valuation and amortization of beneficial conversion features on our notes payable. We have made the necessary adjustments to our financial statements and footnote disclosures in our Interim Report on Form 10-Q. We are in the process of improving our internal controls in an effort to remediate the deficiencies. There have been no significant changes made in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation.
