NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
Note 1— Nature and Continuance of Operations
Organization
On April 1, 2008, Far Vista Interactive Corp., (“the Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) among Far Vista Holdings Inc., a private Saskatchewan corporation (“Far Vista”), a wholly owned subsidiary of 1010423651 Saskatchewan Ltd., formed for the purpose of completing the acquisition of Far Vista on February 21, 2008, and the stockholders of Far Vista (the “Far Vista Stockholders”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Far Vista resulting in Far Vista being a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the subsidiary acquisition of Far Vista by the Company, the Company agreed to issue to the shareholders of Far Vista an aggregate of 10,416,600 shares of the common stock of the Company. Closing of the Exchange Agreement occurred on May 14, 2008 (the “Closing Date”).
In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Far Vista, the Company completed a private placement of 3,000,000 Units at a price of $0.10 per unit pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant to acquire a further share of common stock at $0.20 per share for a period of one year from the date of issue. The warrants expired unexercised on April 2, 2009. Funds from the placement were used to retire existing Company debt.
Following the completion of the acquisition of Far Vista, the Company is now engaged in the business of the development, distribution, marketing and sale of video game software products and online video games.
On September 16, 2008, the Company changed its name to Far Vista Interactive Corp. from China Titanium & Chemical Corp.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2010, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $1,326,868 since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $1,217,587 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts su bstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
The interim consolidated financial statements present the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of cash flows of Far Vista Interactive Corp and wholly owned subsidiary Far Vista Holdings Inc. The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2010, and the results of operations, and cash flows presented herein have been included in the financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.
| The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below. |

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Far Vista Holdings Inc. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Development Stage Company
| The Company is a development stage company as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities. |
Foreign Currency Translation
| The functional currency of the Company is the US Dollar. The functional currency of Far Vista is the Canadian Dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of Far Vista are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Statement of operations accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) account in stockholders’ deficit. Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. |
Basic Loss Per Share
| The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive. At the end of the period presented, the Company had no other common stock equivalents. |
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

Note 5 — Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements were issued and determined that there are no items that require disclosure. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "intends", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; f luctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Given these uncertainties, readers of this Form 10-Q and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
All dollar amounts stated herein are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The management’s 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 ("GAAP"). The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, together with notes thereto. As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and the "Company" mean Far Vista Interactive Corp.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, we had $39 in cash and a goods and services tax (“GST”) receivable of $9,660. We have insufficient funds for current operations and for us to undertake our business plan.
The Company will be required to raise additional funds to continue current operations, and expects to do so by way of additional shareholder loans and equity placements, which efforts to secure are ongoing. We have relied on shareholder advances in the past in order to maintain our regulatory filings and to fund minimal operations. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available going forward or that we will be able to raise any funds for operations. Should we be unable to raise any funding we may be forced to cease operations.
In order to undertake our business plan and meet the objectives of the Company, it is anticipated that the Company will require approximately $700,000 in cash for each of the next four quarters, for a total one year cash requirement of $2,800,000. We are continuing to seek out potential sources for these funds, but have not yet been successful in doing so. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify or secure any such additional capital.
The Company entered into a Development Agreement on January 31, 2010 with respect to the development, production and exploitation of a video game. One of the terms of the agreement is for the Company to pay a license fee of CAD$100,000 on or before December 31, 2010. Should the Company not make such payment, it would lose all its rights under the Agreement. The Company does not presently have such funds, and must therefore raise these funds in addition to other funding requirements previously identified.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Company has not generated any revenues since inception, and does not expect to do so until the Company can raise additional capital to launch its core video game product or other projects under development.
The net loss for the current three month period is $90,453 as compared to $216,133 for the same period in 2009. For the current six month period, the net loss is $167,274, compared to $247,337. This decrease in the net loss is primarily attributable to a public relations and marketing expense of $175,000 which occurred in the 2nd quarter of 2009, as compared to nil in 2010. This reduction was offset by an increase in other expenses in both the three and six month periods. Most notably general and administrative expenses increased from $4,611 and $6,548 to $11,606 and $24,363 for respective three and six month periods. This was as a result of increased costs associated with the entering into new development agreements, a nd the furthering of the Company’s overall development plans. Furthermore, consulting fees, which were nil for the three month and six month periods of 2009, were $30,061 and $57,854 in the comparable 2010 periods. This increase was as a result of the Company having engaged a consultant to assist in the continued development and fund-raising efforts of the Company. Professional fees increased somewhat to $18,438 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $24,648 for the six month period, from $10,402 and $15,074 in the comparable 2009 periods, due to an increase in fees from our filing agent.
Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company presently does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of June 30, 2010:
| 1. | Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert. We do not presently have an audit committeeor an audit committee financial expert. The lack of an audit committee or audit committee financial expert may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management; |
| 2. | Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions, who provides one staff member. This prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews which may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC; |
| 3. | Outsourcing of the accounting operations of our Company. Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm. The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are not answerable to the Company’s management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the firm; |
| 4. | Insufficient installation of information technology to assist in our accounting functions. Because of a lack of working capital and personnel, we do not have any information technology software and hardware to assist in providing effective controls; |
| 5. | Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; |
| 6. | Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of June 30, 2010, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based on that evaluation, they concluded that during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and to date, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint additional outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring or required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements as necessary and as funds allow.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended fiscal June 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
