REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
US NATURAL GAS CORP (Effective March 22, 2010)
St Petersburg, Florida
In accordance with the terms and objectives of our engagement, we have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of US NATURAL GAS CORP (Formally Adventure Energy, Inc.) (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of March 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows from inception (March 28, 2008) through March 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of US NATURAL GAS CORP’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim consolidated financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. A review (as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)) is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statements of America.
We audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009, and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated April 15, 2010. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements assume that US NATURAL GAS CORP will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, US NATURAL GAS CORP has incurred significant operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from inception (March 22, 2008) through March 31, 2010. In addition, US NATURAL GAS CORP has virtually no revenue from natural gas and oil production and sale, has not commenced planned principal business operations, and its current liabilities substantially exceed its current assets.
These factors raise substantial doubt about US NATURAL GAS CORP’s ability to continue as a going concern. US NATURAL GAS CORP management’s plans regarding these matters are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these consolidated financial statements do not, at this time, include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of this significant uncertainty.

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
US Natural Gas Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 28, 2008. The Company is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in exploration, development and production activities in the Appalachian Basin, particularly in Kentucky and West Virginia. Our business strategy focuses primarily on the drilling and acquisitions of proved developed and undeveloped properties and on the enhancement and development of these properties.
On August 25, 2009, the Company incorporated Wilon Resources, Inc. in the state of Tennessee. On February 9, 2010, Wilon Resources, Inc. (Wilon), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into Wilon Resources of Tennessee, Inc. (WRT), a Tennessee Corporation. All of the stock of Wilon's shareholders was acquired by WRT for consideration equal to 1000 shares of WRT for every one share of Wilon held by Wilon shareholders. Subsequent to the merger, Wilon approved the use of the name Wilon Resources, Inc. by WRT.
On March 19, 2010, the Company's shareholders approved with 16,611,138 votes for and zero votes against to a share exchange between the Company and Wilon Resources, Inc. (Wilon), a Tennessee corporation whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Wilon and hold Wilon as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Also, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation deleting Article 8 thereof to eliminate reference to a non-existent "Shareholders' Restrictive Agreement."
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2010, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applied consistently as those used in the preparation of the Company's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
On December 31, 2008, the SEC published the final rules and interpretations updating its oil and gas reporting requirements. Many of the revisions are updates to definitions in the existing oil and gas rules to make them consistent with the petroleum resource management system, which is a widely accepted standard for the management of petroleum resources that was developed by several industry organizations. Key revisions include changes to the pricing used to estimate reserves utilizing a 12-month average price rather than a single day spot price which eliminates the ability to utilize subsequent prices to the end of a reporting period when the full cost ceiling was exceeded and subsequent pricing exceeds pricing at the end of a reporting period, the ability to include nontraditional resources in reserves, the use of new technology for d etermining reserves, and permitting disclosure of probable and possible reserves. The SEC will require companies to comply with the amended disclosure requirements for registration statements filed after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption will have on the Company’s disclosures, operating results, financial position and cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC.
ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events which establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Materials and Supplies
Materials and supplies consist primarily of parts and accessories necessary to maintain the oil and gas properties. They are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.
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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (see Note A - Non Controlling Interest)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consists primarily of trade accounts receivable with a variety of local, national, and international oil and natural gas companies. Such credit risks are considered by management to be limited due to the financial resources of the oil and natural gas companies.
Risk Factors
The Company operates in an environment with many financial risks including, but not limited to, the ability to acquire additional economically recoverable gas reserves, the continued ability to market drilling programs, the inherent risks of the search for, development of and production of gas, the ability to sell natural gas at prices which will provide attractive rates of return, the volatility and seasonality of gas production and prices, and the highly competitive nature of the industry as well as worldwide economic conditions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Financial instruments included in the Company's financial statements include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, other assets, accounts payable, notes payable and due to affiliates. Unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, the carrying value of financial instruments is considered to approximate fair value due to the short maturity and characteristics of those instruments. The carrying value of debt approximates fair value as terms approximate those currently available for similar debt instruments.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated statements of operations were reclassified to conform with March 31, 2010 presentation.

Oil and Gas Properties
The Company adopted the successful efforts method of accounting for gas producing activities. Under successful efforts, costs to acquire mineral interest in gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip developmental wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, costs of developmental wells on properties the Company has no further interest in, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed. Unproved gas properties that are significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are expensed when surrendered or expired.
When a property is determined to contain proved reserves, the capitalized costs of such properties are transferred from unproved properties to proved properties and are amortized by the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proved developed reserves. To the extent that capitalized costs of groups of proved properties having similar characteristics exceed the estimated future net cash flows, the excess capitalized costs are written down to the present value of such amounts. Estimated future net cash flows are determined based primarily upon the estimated future proved reserves related to the Company's current proved properties and, to a lesser extent, certain future net cash flows related to operating and related fees due the Company related to its management of various partnerships. The Company follows U.S. GAAP in Accounting for Impairments.
On sale or abandonment of an entire interest in an unproved property, gain or loss is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the respective taxing authorities. Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive securities (such as stock options, warrants, and convertible securities) outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.
For the period March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding exclude 15,000 shares issuable on exercise of the 15,000 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2009 (see Note I).

NOTE C—GOING CONCERN
The Company is a development stage Company and has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company had no significant revenues and has incurred losses of $2,659,961 for the period March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010 and negative working capital aggregating $1,821,948. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue a s a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE D - MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES
At March 31, 2010, marketable equity securities consisted of equity securities held through Transcend Capital LP with a fair market value of $38,368. The cost of the marketable equity securities was $40,648. The Net gain for Marketable Equity Securities of $169,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes an unrealized loss of $2,280. For the period March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010, the net gain from marketable equity securities was $184,688.

NOTE I - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes”, the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset for the effect of net operating loss carryforwards. In recognition of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of income tax benefits to be derived, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting in our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this quarterly report, and in other reports filed by us with the SEC.
You should read the following description of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.
Overview
We began operations on March 28, 2008 and are engaged in the natural gas and oil industry focusing on exploration, development, and production. We operate oil and gas wells in which we own the majority of the working interest. We maintain leaseholds on mineral rights covering approximately 5,700 acres in addition to rights of way in Kentucky and 11,000 acres in West Virginia through US Natural Gas Corp WV (formerly Wilon Resources, Inc.). Our first revenue from production was generated in July 2009. We have incurred a net loss of $ 271,696 for the 3 month period ending March 31, 2010.
We expect to generate long-term reserve and production growth through drilling activities and further acquisitions. We believe that our management’s experience and expertise will enable it to identify, evaluate, and develop our oil and natural gas projects. Our operations are currently divided into two entities, US Natural Gas Corp KY (“KY”) and US Natural Gas Corp WV (“WV”) (formerly Wilon Resources, Inc.).
US Natural Gas Corp KY, a wholly owned subsidiary, concentrates on oil producing properties mainly in the counties of Green, Hart, Adair, Russell, and Monroe in Kentucky. E 3 Petroleum acts as the bonding entity for all wells in Kentucky which KY maintains a working interest. On average, KY maintains a 95% working interest and 83% net revenue interest in each well. To date, E 3 Petroleum has 25 wells under bond of which 14 are currently producing commercially viable crude with minimal revenue. KY continues to reopen, treat, and maintain the wells acquired in the November 2009 asset acquisition with KYTX Oil & Gas, LLC. During April 2010, the Company initiated drilling activities on a leasehold in Green County, Kentucky. It is the Company’s intentions to continue to drill new wells on the current leasehold base as well as acquir e previously drilled wells for reopening.
The Company maintains a minority stake in US Natural Gas Corp WV, but the day to day decisions of this entity are controlled by our President, Mr. Wayne Anderson. WV’s operations are based in Wayne County, West Virginia and are solely dedicated to the production of commercially viable natural gas. The wells maintained and owned by WV are held under the bond of B.T.U. Pipeline, a wholly owned subsidiary of WV. The Company has 115 natural gas wells under bond which have been shut-in since June 2005 due to a delivery constraint. Management has entered into an agreement with a third party to allow for delivery and purchase of natural gas which the Company believes will remedy the prior transmission constraint.
We continue to seek to identify oil and natural wells for possible acquisition. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into agreements for the acquisition of these wells upon terms that are satisfactory to the Company.
We believe we will be able to generate long-term reserve and production growth through drilling activities and further acquisitions. We believe that our management’s experience and expertise will enable us to identify, evaluate, and develop oil and natural gas projects.
While we anticipate the majority of future capital expenditures will be expended on the acquisition of previously drilled wells, reworking of wells, repair and maintenance to our gathering system, and drilling of wells, we intend to use our experience and regional expertise to add leasehold interests to the inventory of leases for future drilling activities, as well as property acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were none and none respectively. The Company had revenues of $44,191 for period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010. Over the next twelve months, the Company anticipates an increase in revenue from the Company’s newly acquired subsidiary, US Natural Gas Corp WV. This increase in revenue is predicated upon the closing of the acquisition. In addition, the Company expects to generate additional revenue as it reworks, reopens, or drills new wells through its other wholly owned subsidiary, US Natural Gas Corp KY.
Operating Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $ 399,976. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $ 198,834, which is an increase of $201,142. The increase in operating expenses was mainly from the increase in selling general and administrative expenses.
Operating Expenses for the period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010 was $2,779,686. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included selling, general, and administrative expenses of $305,884. The increase in operating expenses was mainly from the issuance of common stock for consulting, legal and other fees of $805,935.
The Company anticipates that its operating expenses will increase substantially over the next twelve months for both operating subsidiaries as it continues to bring additional wells online and into production.
Net Loss for the period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010 was $2,659,961. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $271,696 and 193,491, respectively. The increase in net loss was mainly from the increase in selling general and administrative expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 we had cash and cash equivalents of $55,203 and $26,488, respectively.
For the period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010, cash used by operating activities was $ 537,500. A total of $2,136,232 was expensed from the issuance of common stock for services and leases for the period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash by operating activities was $341,293.
For the period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010, the cash used by investing activities was $1,668,248, which was primarily for the purchase of gas properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, there was $95,423, which was primarily for the purchase of oil and gas properties.
For the period from March 28, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $2,260,951 which was primarily from borrowing from notes payable. For the three months ending March 31, 2010, there was $465,431 provided by financing activities.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS
We intend to acquire producing oil and gas properties where we believe significant additional value can be created. Management is primarily interested in developmental properties where some combination of these factors exist: (1) opportunities for long production life with stable production levels; (2) geological formations with multiple producing horizons; (3) substantial exploitation potential; and (4) relatively low capital investment production costs.
We intend to acquire adjacent mineral rights leaseholds to further expand our block of acreage for development. We also intend to expand further in Wayne County, West Virginia, to explore for leaseholds. Currently, the rate to acquire mineral rights leases in the states of Kentucky and West Virginia ranges from $5.00-$25.00 per acre. In addition, the Lessor is given a 12.5% royalty from gross production.
We intend to maximize the value of properties through a combination of successful drilling, increasing recoverable reserves and reducing operating costs. We employ the latest technology such as directional and horizontal drilling. These methods have historically produced oil and gas at faster rates and with lower operating costs basis than traditional vertical drilling.
We intend to maintain a highly competitive team of experienced and technically proficient employees and motivate them through a positive work environment and stock ownership. We believe that employee ownership, which may be encouraged through a stock option plan, is essential for attracting, retaining and motivating qualified personnel. While we have not yet adopted a stock option plan, we intend to do so in the near future.
In order to fund our current drilling program, as well as future drilling programs, we rely upon partnerships and joint ventures with accredited investors. Once we become profitable, we intend to drill wells in which we will maintain 100% of the net revenue.
Including the net proceeds from the 2008 stock offering, we only have sufficient funds to conduct our operations for three to six months. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from our operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity, other than the net proceeds from the offering. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
We will need additional investments in order to continue operations, but we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. The recent downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have ri ghts, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
Recent Financings
Between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company raised $27,500 in private financing from accredited investors. These funds were utilized for the daily operating activities of the company. The investors purchased shares from the Company at prices between $.03 to $.07 per share.
On November 12, 2009, we entered into a promissory note (interest of 1% per annum) with SLMI Holdings, LLC for a total of $100,000. The original maturity date of February 12, 2010 has been amended to July 12, 2010..
On September 24, 2009 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tangiers. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company may, at its discretion, periodically sell to Tangiers shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of up to $3,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers will pay us 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which the Company's common stock is traded for the five days immediately following the notice date. The price paid by Tangiers for the Company's stock shall be determined as of the date of each individual request for an advance under the Secur ities Purchase Agreement. Tangiers’ obligation to purchase shares of the Company's common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the Company obtaining an effective registration statement for shares of the Company's common stock sold under the Securities Purchase Agreement and is limited to $250,000 per ten consecutive trading days after the advance notice is provided to Tangiers. The Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and Tangiers shall have no further obligation to make advances under the Securities Purchase Agreement at the earlier of the passing of 18 months after the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s registration statement effective or the Company receives advances from Tangiers equal to the $3,000,000. Upon the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Tangiers received a one-time commitment fee equal to $150,000 of the Company's common stock divided by the lowest volume weighted av erage price of the Company's common stock during the 10 business days immediately following the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
On September 25, 2009, the Company issued Atlas, a 7% secured convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. This convertible debenture has a term of nine months and was fully funded on September 25, 2009. Payment of interest on the convertible debenture can be made in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at the then applicable conversion price. Interest on the convertible debenture will accrue as of September 25, 2009 and will not be payable until the maturity date of June 25, 2010. The debenture also has a conversion price equal to 70% of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP.
Between June 2008 and March 24, 2009, the Company raised $ 46,793 in private financing from accredited investors. These funds were utilized for the daily operating activities of the company. The investors purchased shares from the Company at $.35 per share. Since inception, the President and Vice-President have funded the Company’s operations.
Critical Accounting 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 significantly from those estimates.
Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated futu re undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Therefor, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
None
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
