Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended July 31, 2011. The interim results for the period ended April 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which would substantially duplicate disclosures contained in the audited financials for the fiscal year 2011 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on April 28, 2008.
The Company is involved in the alternative energy sector. The Company has acquired and is seeking to acquire additional emerging growth companies to meet growing demands worldwide in the alternative energy sector. The Company currently has four subsidiaries, Sunarias Corporation (“Sunarias”) acquired during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010; SkyNet Energy Systems, Inc., and Shovon, LLC, acquired during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011; and Élan Energy Corp. (“Élan”), incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary on September 13, 2010.
Sunarias
Sunarias is a California corporation engaged in thermal and solar energy management. Sunarias marries absorption chilling and solar thermal technologies to provide commercial buildings with energy efficiency at a lower cost.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Elán
Elán Energy, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was formed in September 2010 to manage the Company’s commercial HVAC and related operations. It is actively engaged in the acquisition of commercial mechanical contractors and expects to complete several acquisitions in the next fiscal quarter of the Company.
Development Stage
The Company's financial statements are presented as those of a development stage enterprise. Activities during the development stage primarily include equity based financing and further implementation of the business plan. The Company has not generated any significant revenues since inception.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries described above. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid technological change. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with a development stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. A significant estimate in 2012 and 2011 included a 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses incurred since inception.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ materially from estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively, there were no balances that exceeded the federally insured limit.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings per Share
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (‘ASC”) Topic 260,“Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the period from April 28, 2008 (inception) to April 30, 2012, is equivalent since the Company has had continuing losses.
Share Based Payments
Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights, are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, and based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The expense resulting from share-based payments are recorded as a component of general and administrative expense.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and, if impaired, at fair value. They are amortized in accordance with the relevant income stream or by using the straight line method over their useful lives from the time they are first available for use. The estimated useful lives vary according to the specific asset but are typically: 1 to 12 years for customer contracts and relationships; 3 to 8 years for capitalized software; 3 to 10 years for patents, trademarks and licenses; and 3 to 8 years for capitalized development currently being amortized.
Intangible assets which are not yet being amortized are subject to annual impairment reviews.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business when the fair value of the consideration given exceeds the fair value attributed to the net assets acquired (including contingent liabilities). It is subject to annual impairment reviews.
Segment Information
During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects the Company's estimate of amounts that it would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from sources independent from the Company) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (the Company's assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| | |
Level 1: | | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
Level 2: | | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
Level 3: | | Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
At April 30, 2012, and July 31, 2011, respectively the Company has no instruments that require additional disclosure.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.

Note 3 Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $386,034 net cash used in operations of $77,837 for the nine months ended April 30, 2012; and deficit accumulated during the development stage of $6,717,052 at April 30, 2012.
These factors, among others, raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
| |
· | The Company is seeking third party debt and/or equity financing; |
· | The Company is cutting operating costs, and |
· | As described in Note 8, the Company has been involved in numerous acquisitions with the intent of achieving a level of profitability |
Note 4 Loans Payable to Affiliates
During the fiscal year end July 31, 2010, the Company recorded two separate loans payable to an affiliate, McDowell, LLC, totaling $12,500, and both remained payable as of April 30, 2012. The managing member of McDowell, L.L.C. is Jack Stapleton, who was also sole officer and director of the Company at the time the two promissory notes were executed. The loans are represented by two promissory notes signed by Mr. Stapleton, bear interest at 8% per annum with principal and interest and are due on demand by the holder of the notes. As of April 30, 2012, accrued interest payable was $1,925. On December 3, 2010, Mr. Stapleton, as Managing Member of McDowell, LLC, issued a written demand for payment of the notes and subsequently filed suit to collect on the two notes. A judgment has been entered in favor of McDowell, LLC.
Note 5 Lease Agreement
The Company currently occupies office space in Merritt Island, Florida sub-leased from a consultant which also provides financial, accounting, compliance and other support services to the Company on a three year consulting agreement. The rent payable under the consulting agreement is not separately stated and is included in the monthly consulting fee payable for the services agreed. The services include use of office equipment, software, servers, and office personnel of the consultant, as well as use of the consultant’s offices as the mailing address for the Company.
Note 6 Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
On January 15, 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase authorized common stock to 250,000,000 shares and authorize 5,000,000 in preferred shares.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2012, the Company converted $194,878 in notes into 93,190,993 shares of common stock.

Note 8 Subsequent Events (continued)
Clarrix Energy was founded in 2011 by a management team composed of a diverse group of highly skilled executives with broad base of skills medicine, finance, web development, and retail. The company’s initial source of revenue is from commissions generated by saving businesses from 1 to 25% on their utility bills. Management will be diligently searching for products and services for clients, including solar, surge protection, lighting and more.
The deregulation of energy by the federal government has created multiple opportunities in the energy sector. Multiple states allow businesses and consumers to select the supplier of their commodity (gas or electricity). This, of course, is intended to give business the opportunity to save on their utility costs.
The company will be focusing on a creative online strategy to attract and manage clients. Management is developing a sales force in all areas their supply agreements allow. Management plans to technology and state-of-the-art web and social networking strategies to maximize lead generation and minimize advertising costs.
Share issues:
During May of 2012, the Company converted $10,678 of notes payable into 22,135,354 common shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “should,” “intend,” “may,” “anticipate,” “likely,” “contingent,” “could,” “may,” or other future-oriented statements, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our business plans, strategies and objectives, and, in particular, statements referring to our expectations regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, generate increased market awareness of, and demand for, our current products, realize profitability and positive cash flow, and timely obtain required financing. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results. The forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and what we believe are reasonable assumptions given our knowledge of the markets; however, our actual performance, results and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors within and beyond our control that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among others, our critical capital raising efforts in an uncertain and volatile economical environment, our ability to maintain relationship with strategic companies, our cash preservation and cost containment efforts, our ability to retain key management personnel, our relative inexperience with advertising, our competition and the potential impact of technological advancements thereon, the impact of changing economic, political, and geo-political environments on our business, as well as those factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in “Item 1 - Our Business,” “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” and elsewhere in our most recent Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and those detailed from time to time in our reports and filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that are likely to affect our business.
Our Business
Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (the “Company” or “AEGY”) was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 28, 2008. We formed our Company for the purpose of establishing renewable fuel sources initially within the State of Florida. Ethanol was our initial intended product and we intend to establish other alternative energy products and services including, but not limited to, solar-thermal energy production, energy management controls, and more. Our intended original products, while not technically difficult to produce, must meet all regulatory requirements prior to being marketed. Moreover, there are a multitude of competitive products already in the market place. Due to the competitive nature of the market and our continuing capital requirements, we expanded our initial plan to include solar and thermal projects, with the acquisition of Sunarias Corporation on May 18, 2010 and Shovon, LLC on July 9, 2010.
Current Business of the Company
We are a holding company engaged through our subsidiaries in the business of energy production and management. Our business model of vertical integration recognizes that customers have unique energy needs, and by offering an array of energy services we believe we can best provide customized, efficient energy solutions that will appeal to our markets. We believe our intended products and services could represent an important alternative for customers looking to lower their overhead costs or improve public image through efficient energy usage.
Initially, our largest target market will be the commercial energy market. In order to reach that market, we will market to industries with an interest in lowering their energy costs or increasing energy efficiency; these industries include healthcare and hospitality. In order to attract commercial markets, we must begin by establishing and proving that our energy systems are efficient and offer lower cost to use than traditional utilities or systems. For any alternative energy product, we intend to prove market viability prior to engaging in distribution.
17
1. ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Complementing AEGY’s focus on energy production is its second sector, energy management. Through controllers, our energy management systems will allow consumers to customize their energy use, as well as reduce their costs significantly. The AEGY family of companies will be involved in traditional and innovative concepts in energy management and will assist each customer with energy efficiency advances. This will support our customers in realizing many energy efficiency rebates and incentives available through local utilities.
2. SECURITY AND MONITORING
In order to optimize performance, AEGY, where applicable, will provide security for its energy systems. AEGY may acquire or otherwise contract with security companies to provide security and monitoring services where appropriate. The incorporation of security cameras on installations would protect the systems from damage and theft while providing a monitoring hub for the system’s performance. Providing security and monitoring services would also allow for the dispatch of HVAC technicians should a system’s performance decline for any reason.
3. GASIFICATION
We have identified two gasification technologies to date and continue to explore opportunities in this area. Gasification includes multiple technologies that convert solids to gas that can be either burned or consumed to generate energy. The gasification technologies AEGY is exploring create byproducts which are useful in the Sunarias energy production systems. Specifically, gasification converts trash to an energy that is consumed to produce electricity generation with a heat byproduct. That heat byproduct is then captured and consumed in absorption chilling, the process used by Sunarias.
4. FUEL CELL ENERGY PRODUCTION
Alternative Energy Partners’ fourth sector is fuel cell energy production. Currently, fuel cell energy production is considered a future technology that will be feasible within a five year window. The fuel cell energy market is currently experiencing high market demand that it is unable, through its two major manufacturers, to satisfy. This indicates a limit of manufacturing capacity that Alternative Energy Partners will exploit. Fuel Cells can be placed wherever electricity is consumed, within some limitations. This point of use feature reduces demand on the grid. A major consumer market for fuel cells is hospitals, larger schools and colleges, manufacturing facilities and even small communities.
5. POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
AEGY also plans to engage in the purchase of solar photo voltaic power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) through its completed acquisition of SkyNet Energy Systems, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary. We completed the acquisition agreement to acquire SkyNet from Healthcare of Today, Inc. for 600,000 (30,000,000 shares pre-split) shares of our common stock on August 19, 2010. Healthcare of Today, Inc. acquired SkyNet for 250,000 shares of its common stock, valued in the acquisition agreement at $3,000,000, which we valued at $2,100,000, however $2,099,000 was written off in subsequent impairment tests. Power purchase agreements have a variety of applications. In the current instance, PPAs are agreements whereby an individual organization arranges with a government-sponsored utility to guarantee the purchase of all of the power that will be provided by that organization’s energy production. In the current instance, we will be supplying photo voltaic produced electricity. By purchasing PPAs, SkyNet will receive the income stream from that agreement.
Through Skynet Energy Systems, Inc, AEGY will be able to offer modified Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) and Line Reservations, which we call Energy Service Agreements (“ESAs”), to corporations, hospitals and other entities. In July 2010, Skynet signed an agreement that will give it access to obtain Line Reservations in Europe, with a guaranteed minimum sale of 19.65MW energy at local prices ranging from approximately $0.42/kw to $0.72/kw. Pursuant to the agreement, Skynet will provide energy in Europe, including Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.
18
Our model of energy provision is different; for example, with regard to solar thermal energy, we have the ability to front the costs of system installation and maintenance. In addition to promoting lower operating costs than those of traditional utilities, Sunarias(TM) systems may allow businesses to conveniently meet individual corporate missions or governmental energy reduction mandates such as CA AB32. Regardless of whether they are formally required to do so, many local governments, companies, and individuals are now taking actions to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions or to lock in lower energy costs in a long term agreement with a company like ours while improving their public image through thoughtful use of energy.
While reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a newer interest for the United States, there is strong market as well as government and societal support for alternative energy production in Europe. The European Union has mandated that 20% of energy come from renewable resources by 2020. Accordingly, AEGY has planned to focus a sales partnership/initiative in Europe, to further engage in this thriving market and grow its presence there.
Plan of Operation
We are in the business of providing commercial buildings with advanced solar thermal energy production, allowing businesses to use alternative energy sources. Initially we market advanced solar thermal energy production, support, monitoring and related services to commercial businesses in the southern United States.
SHOVON, LLC
Whether one is an individual consumer or operating a large facility, using Shovon hardware will allow optimized, controlled energy consumption, resulting in reduced ongoing costs. Shovon products offer the ultimate convenience of being able to access facilities and view relevant events or statuses (down to the appliance level) online. This remote monitoring can be enabled from anywhere in the world by using a PC or cell phone.
Our Product
Shovon’s advanced control systems are appropriate for use with the Sunarias product. At present, Shovon’s design engineers are working on improvements to the Sunarias controller to allow better access through web based monitoring, maintenance by remote systems management, predictive maintenance items without site visit costs and, a key component of the Sunarias model, measurement of energy consumed for billing purposes.
Shovon has a very large potential market in energy management and automation. This is in addition to its use in the Sunarias’ product line and would be useful in commercial buildings for additional services like managing lighting, occupancy responses for air conditioning, security, process controls and event scheduling. In keeping with AEGY’s vertical integration model, Sunarias will use the modified Shovon controller to measure the actual performance and consumed offset energy. The monthly billing to the customers will include the energy used, the offset costs which the utility would have charged, and the comparison from the previous period and year.

The Company has entered into an acquisition agreement dated March 12, 2012 to acquire Clarrix Energy, LLC from its sole member, Élan Energy & Water, Inc., for a total of forty million (40,000,000) common shares and 5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company. The acquisition closed on May 30, 2012. When issued, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be a voting stock which votes on a par with the common shares except that the Series A Preferred always has a vote equal to 51 percent of the total votes eligible to vote on any matter, and is convertible at the election of the holder into 5i percent of the resulting common shares outstanding at the time of the election to convert.
Clarrix Energy, LLC provides consultative and brokerage services to business of all sizes. The objective of these services is to decrease utility costs in as many ways as possible for every client. The company currently has agreements with energy suppliers in 10 states, and is in pursuit of additional supply partners.
Clarrix Energy was founded in 2011 by a management team composed of a diverse group of highly skilled executives with broad base of skills medicine, finance, web development, and retail. The company’s initial source of revenue is from commissions generated by saving businesses from 1 to 25% on their utility bills. Management will be diligently searching for products and services for clients, including solar, surge protection, lighting and more.
The deregulation of energy by the federal government has created multiple opportunities in the energy sector. Multiple states allow businesses and consumers to select the supplier of their commodity (gas or electricity). This, of course, is intended to give business the opportunity to save on their utility costs.
The company will be focusing on a creative online strategy to attract and manage clients. Management is developing a sales force in all areas their supply agreements allow. Management plans to technology and state-of-the-art web and social networking strategies to maximize lead generation and minimize advertising costs.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.
For the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no revenues. Since inception, the Company has yet to earn revenues and has incurred cumulative net losses of $6,717,052. For the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had net losses of $84,343 and $105,404, respectively. Our activities have been attributed primarily to start up and business development.
For the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred operating expenses of $52,938 and $78,913, respectively. The decreases relate primarily to efforts to decrease operating costs resulting in decreases in consulting expenses, salaries and wages, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses.
For the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2010, the Company had no revenues. Since inception, the Company has yet to earn revenues and has incurred cumulative net losses of $6,717,052. For the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2010, the Company had net losses of $386,034 and $2,860,617, respectively. Our activities have been attributed primarily to start up and business development.
For the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred operating expenses of $206,787 and $2,759,778, respectively. The decreases relate primarily to efforts to decrease operating costs resulting in decreases in consulting expenses, salaries and wages, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses. These decreases were offset somewhat by increases in marketing expenses. Consulting expenses were reduced due to a decreased need for various consulting services and stock compensation issued in prior years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 and since April 28, 2008 (date of inception) through April 30, 2012, the Company has had net losses of $386,034, $2,860,617 and $6,717,052, respectively. As of April 30, 2012, the Company had not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources.
On November 1, 2011, we signed an equity line of credit terms sheet with Apollo Capital Investments, LLC under which Apollo has agreed to provide $10 million in funding over a 36 month period in monthly installments of not less than $20,000 or more than $350,000 in exchange for common stock of the Company at a discount of 15 percent from the 5 day average market price for the common stock. The first installment draw is dependent on the Company filing and causing to be made effective a registration statement for the underlying common shares. In addition, Apollo has agreed to provide a bridge loan of $1,000,000 to the Company on a one year convertible note, converting at $0.02 per share, within 45 days after the term sheet has been incorporated in a definitive final agreement. The definitive agreement has not yet been executed due to the continued low price of our common stock on the market. We do not expect to proceed with the equity line of credit or the bridge loan until we have completed several planned acquisitions and generated cash flow from operations, to minimize the potential dilution in our common stock.
We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of April 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,717,052 and a working capital deficit of $296,350.
We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future.
If we are unable to secure additional financing to cover our operating losses until breakeven operations can be achieved, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
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. We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
The Company has incurred deferred offering costs in connection with raising additional capital through the sale of its common stock. These costs are capitalized and charged against additional paid-in capital when common stock is issued. If there is no issuance of common stock, the costs incurred are charged to operations.
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Contractual Obligations
The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Lin-Han Equity Corp. to provide services and assistance in locating, identifying and assisting with due diligence in strategic acquisitions, as well as for the introduction of potential investor sources. The consulting agreement was executed on May 1, 2011 and called for a fixed monthly fee of $15,000 commencing May 1, 2011 for a period of one year. A total of $45,000 was charged as expenses related to this agreement in the year ended July 31, 2011, and a total of $45,000 in fees owed is included in accounts payable. Lin-Han Equity Corp. is not a shareholder or affiliate of the Company. On December 1, 2011, a total of $30,000 in accrued payable amounts under this agreement was converted into a convertible promissory note due in two years. The consulting agreement was terminated by mutual agreement in December 2011.
The Company also has entered into a consulting agreement with CFOs to Go, Inc., a financial and legal consulting firm, to provide financial, accounting, legal, administrative, HR, supply chain management, corporate governance, SEC compliance and similar services to the Company for a monthly fee of $10,000. CFOs to Go also provides contract principal accounting officer and corporate counsel services to the Company under its agreement and also provides telephone, office address, access to software and servers owned by CFOs to Go, and related office support. We maintain our corporate offices at the Florida offices of CFOs to Go under this arrangement. As of April 30, 2012, a total of $97,046 has been accrued as consulting fees under this agreement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. Previous guidance under Topic 350 required an entity to test goodwill for impairment using a two-step process on at least an annual basis. First, the fair value of a reporting unit was calculated and compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Second, if the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, the amount of impairment loss, if any, was required to be measured. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the entity to determine that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to test goodwill for impairment under the two-step process as described under paragraphs 350-20-35-4 and 350-20-35-9 under Topic 350. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether early adoption is necessary.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls also are designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.
The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our chief executive officer, who is also our acting chief financial officer, included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Quarterly Report. Our management, including our chief executive officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on his review and evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, and subject to the inherent limitations all as described above, our chief executive officer, who is also our acting chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) contain material weaknesses and are not effective.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
The material weaknesses we have identified are the direct result of a lack of adequate staffing in our accounting department. Currently, our chief executive officer and an outsourced controller have sole responsibility for receipts and disbursements. We do not employ any other parties to prepare the periodic financial statements and public filings. Reliance on these limited resources impairs our ability to provide for a proper segregation of duties and the ability to ensure consistently complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures. As we grow, and as resources permit, we project that we will hire such additional competent financial personnel to assist in the segregation of duties with respect to financial reporting, and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance.
