Forward Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including "could", "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this report.

Business Overview
We were incorporated as a Nevada company on October 30, 2006 under the name Double Halo Corp., and later changed our name to Shengrui Resources Co. Ltd., and changed our name to Richland Resources Corp. in April 2011. Prior to the year ended October 31, 2010 we had been involved in the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties, and were subsequently engaged in the development of business interests in China with the goal of completing the acquisition of one or more operating companies in the mineral resource industry. Those activities were discontinued before the beginning of the year ended October 31, 2011, and the Company has been inactive. Control of the Company was acquired by Kenneth A. Goggans in March 2011.
Our business activities are directed by Kenneth A. Goggans, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, and Max Elghandour, our Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Treasurer. Messrs. Goggans and Elghandour also manage our operations.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “RRCH”:

Market Information
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “RRCH”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company's operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.
OTCQB securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTCQB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTCQB issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
Our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on October 31, 2008; it was deleted from the OTC Bulletin Board and moved to the OTCQB on September 7, 2010. The following quotations reflect the high and low bids for our common stock based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. The high and low bid quotations of our common stock for the periods indicated below are as follows:

Based on our current level of operating activities, our critical accounting policies are limited to estimating liabilities and costs incurred.

We record liabilities to the company under common ownership based on those charges incurred on our behalf.

Richland Resources Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Richland Resources Corporation (the “Company”), a company in the development stage, as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of operationsand comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficit for the year then ended and for the period from October 30, 2006 (inception) through October 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company for the period from October 30, 2006 (inception) through October 31, 2010, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated March 23, 2011, on those financial statements included an explanatory paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.The cumulative statements of operationsand comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficit for the period from October 30, 2006 (inception) to October 31, 2011 include amounts for the period from October 30, 2006 (inception) to October 31, 2010, which were audited by other auditors, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the period from October 30, 2006 (inception) through October 31, 2010, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Richland Resources Corporation as of October 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from October 30, 2006 (inception) through October 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its total liabilities exceeds its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing theaccounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positionof the Company as of October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flowsfor the year then ended in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has generated negative cash flows from operating activities during the year ended October 31, 2010, and the Company has an accumulated deficit of $794,179 for the year ended October 31, 2010.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Richland Resources Corp. (formerly Shengrui Resources Co. Ltd. and Double Halo Resources Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 30, 2006. The Company was considered an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises”, until the change of control occurring on March 9, 2011. Since then the company is considered a development and production oil and natural gas company. The Company’s principal business was formerly the acquisition and exploration of natural resources. It is currently foucused on the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate substantial 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 financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at October 31, 2011 the Company has accumulated losses of $843,942 since inception. 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.

Incometaxes
We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes along with state income taxes in Texas. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with theapplicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.
Based on our analysis, we did not have any uncertain tax positions as of October 31, 2011 or 2010. We have never filed U.S. or Texas income tax returns.

Deferredincometaxassetsandliabilitiesaredeterminedbasedupondifferencesbetweenfinancialreportingandtaxbasesofassetsandliabilitiesandaremeasuredusingtheenactedtaxratesandlawsthatwillbeineffectwhenthedifferencesareexpectedtoreverse. IncometaxexpensediffersfromtheamountthatwouldresultfromapplyingtheUSfederalandstateincometaxratestoearningsbeforeincometaxes. The Company has never filed a U.S. federal or state income tax returns. As a result, net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the year ended October 31, 2011 may never be realized. Additionally, the use of net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to March 9, 2011 are limited by change in control provisions of the US Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, management has disregarded all net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to November 1, 2010 for puposes of estimating its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2011.Deferred tax assets resulting from the Company’s netoperatinglosscarryforwardare reduced to zero by a full valuation allowance because theCompanycannotbeassuredthatitismorelikelythannotthatsuchbenefitwillbeutilizedinfutureyears.

6.Restatement of Quarterly Filings (UNAUDITED)
During the preparation of our annual financial statements, we noted that we had erroneously recorded accounts payable assumed by our former parent company as a gain on settlement of liabilities, and that we had erroneously neglected to record operating expenses incurred on our behalf by related parties throughout our interim periods included in the year ended October 31, 2011. The following is a summary of interim periods included in the year ended October 31, 2011, as restated:

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
During the year ended October 31, 2011, we were indebted to Richland Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation controlled by Kenneth A. Goggans, our Chief Executive Officer, for $49,763, representing expenditures paid on our behalf. This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand and has no specific terms of repayment.
Other than as described above, we have not entered into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of these persons wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last three fiscal years.
Director Independence
The OTC Quotation Bureau, on which our common stock is quoted, does not have any director independence requirements. Our board has not taken action to define “independence” for purposes of service on our board. Mr. Goggans, who is our sole director, is also an executive officer and owns a controlling interest in our voting sock, and would not be deemed “independent” under current stock exchange definitions. As additional directors join our board, we intend to develop a definition of independence and evaluate our governance policy with respect to director independence.
