NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of March 31, 2008, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in 2007’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB/A on April 29, 2008.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2007 as reported in the Form 10-KSB/A on April 29, 2008 have been omitted.

On March 17, 2008, America West changed its name from “Reddi Brake Supply Corp” to “America West Resources, Inc.”.

On August 10, 2007, America West acquired Hidden Splendor Resources, Inc., a coal mining company located in Helper, Utah. Hidden Splendor operates a coal mine that covers approximately 1,288 acres.  Daily coal production is delivered to a coal brokerage company at the mine site.   Per the acquisition agreement, America West acquired 100% of Hidden Splendor in exchange for 52,945,200 common shares, which shares represented 90% of America West’s common stock outstanding after the transaction.  The transaction was recognized as the reorganization of Hidden Splendor into America West and was recognized as a reverse stock split of the Hidden Splendor common stock outstanding.  Upon completion of the transaction, Hidden Splendor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of America West.

On October 15, 2007, Hidden Splendor filed a Chapter 11 Petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada as a debtor in possession.  Hidden Splendor’s operations have continued since the petition was filed and it intends to continue to operate its business.   Due to the bankruptcy of Hidden Splendor, America West’s control over Hidden Splendor is considered compromised for financial reporting purposes.  As a result, America West deconsolidated its investment in Hidden Splendor as of October 15, 2007.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, America West incurred net losses of $527,915 for the three month ended March 31, 2008 ,and had a working capital deficit of $53,329 as of March 31, 2008.  Furthermore, its wholly owned subsidiary Hidden Splendor filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in October 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to America West’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is attempting to raise additional capital through sales of stock and enhance the operations of Hidden Splendor to achieve cash-positive operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if America West is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, America West sold 6,770,001 common shares for $1,015,500 and incurred $78,550 in share issuance costs.

On March 2, 2008, America West granted warrants to a consultant to purchase up to 400,000 shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.26 to $0.42.  The stock warrants vest over a nine-month period and terminate two years after America West files a registration statement encompassing the consultant's purchased stock.  The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $74,659. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, $28,686 of this fair value was expensed and the remaining $45,973 will be expensed over the remaining vesting period of the warrants. The Black-Scholes stock option valuation model was used to determine the fair value of the warrants. The significant assumptions used in the valuation were: the exercise prices noted above; the market value of America West’s common stock on March 2, 2008, $0.21; expected volatilities between 304% and 323%; risk free interest rate of 2.53%; and expected terms between 1 and 1.38 years. The warrants qualify as `plain vanilla' warrants under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and, due to limited warrant exercise data available to the Company, the term was estimated pursuant to the provisions of SAB 107.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March 2008, a shareholder loaned America West $50,000.  The note bears interest at 8% per annum and matures on June 30, 2008.

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN EQUITY INVESTEE

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, America West paid to Hidden Splendor or paid expenses on behalf of Hidden Splendor a total of $1,182,085.  These funds were a contribution to capital to Hidden Splendor by America West.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Hidden Splendor, as required in its bankruptcy proceeding, filed a disclosure statement with the U.S. bankruptcy court disclosing all known liabilities as of the October 15, 2007 bankruptcy petition date.  Per the company's disclosure statement, Hidden Splendor had approximately $2.7 million in non-priority unsecured claims as of October 15, 2007.  Hidden Splendor's non-priority unsecured creditors and one customer filed their proof of claims in February 2008.  As of the date of this Report, the claims filed by Hidden Splendor's non-priority unsecured vendors and creditors total approximately $1,000,000 more than the company's disclosure statement.  Hidden Splendor management is in the process of reconciling the discrepancy and has identified numerous claims that are contestable.  For any contestable claims, Hidden Splendor will file objections with the bankruptcy court.   As of the date of this report, management believes the likelihood of the $2.7 million non-priority unsecured claims increasing by a material amount is remote.

Occasionally, Hidden Splendor is issued citations by the Mine Safety and Health Administration in connection with regular inspections of the Horizon mine.  As of April 28, 2008, Hidden Splendor is involved in six administrative actions involving challenges to citations with a total of $182,542 in proposed penalties.  At times, Hidden Splendor challenges citations, resulting in reductions to proposed penalties or administrative adjudications with no penalties.  Hidden Splendor has challenged the citations in the six pending actions.  As of the date of this Report, management believes the penalties that will be paid are possible and not estimable.

On March 2, 2008, America West entered into a one-year service agreement engaging a consultant for $120,000 cash consideration over the term of the agreement.  In addition, America West will issue the consultant warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of America West common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.26 to$0.42.  The stock warrants vest over a nine-month period and terminate two years after America West files a registration statement encompassing the consultant's purchased stock.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Since March 31, 2008, through the date of this report, America West sold 5,483,333 shares of its common stock for cash proceeds of $822,500 and incurred share issuance costs of $23,250.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of March 31, 2008, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in 2007’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB/A on April 29, 2008.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2007 as reported in the Form 10-KSB/A on April 29, 2008 have been omitted.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a principal shareholder contributed a gold mining right to Hidden Splendor. The transaction is treated as a transaction between entities under common control. As a result, the asset was recorded as historical cost, which is immaterial.

NOTE 2 – PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY

On October 15, 2007, Hidden Splendor (the “Debtor”) filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.   Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as Debtor-in-possession.  These claims are reflected in the March 31, 2008 balance sheet as “liabilities subject to compromise”.   Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.  Claims secured against the Debtor’s assets (“secured claims”) also are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for relief from the stay.   Secured claims are secured primarily by liens on the Debtor’s property, plant, and equipment.

The Debtor received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise honor certain of its prepetition obligations, including employee wages.    Hidden Splendor’s operations have continued since the petition was filed and it intends to continue to operate its business.   Due to the bankruptcy of Hidden Splendor, America West’s control over Hidden Splendor is considered compromised for financial reporting purposes.  As a result, the accompanying financial statements are not consolidated with America West.   

NOTE 3 – REVERSE MERGER

On August 10, 2007, America West Resources, Inc. purchased Hidden Splendor.  Per the acquisition agreement, America West acquired all of Hidden Splendor in exchange for 52,945,200 common shares, which represented 90% of the America West common stock outstanding after the transaction.  The transaction was recognized as a reverse stock split of the Hidden Splendor common stock outstanding.   Upon completion of the transaction, Hidden Splendor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of America West.

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN

As of March 31, 2008 Hidden Splendor had an accumulated deficit of $6,932,262. In addition, during the period from January 31, 2008  through March 31, 2008, Hidden Splendor suffered a net loss of  $275,645. In addition, on October 15, 2007, Hidden Splendor filed a Chapter 11 Petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.   Hidden Splendor’s petition is a Chapter 11 petition and Hidden Splendor is a debtor in possession.  Hidden Splendor’s operations have continued since the petition was filed and it intends to continue to operate its business.   These factors raise substantial doubt about Hidden Splendor’s ability to continue as a going concern. Hidden Splendor intends to fund its operations with the proceeds from the public issuance of equity securities with other shareholder contributions making up any remaining deficits. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN EQUITY INVESTEE

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, America West paid to Hidden Splendor or paid expenses on behalf of Hidden Splendor a total of $1,182,085.  These funds were a contribution to capital to Hidden Splendor by America West.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Hidden Splendor, as required in its bankruptcy proceeding, filed a disclosure statement with the U.S. bankruptcy court disclosing all known liabilities as of the October 15, 2007 bankruptcy petition date.  Per the company's disclosure statement, Hidden Splendor had approximately $2.7 million in non-priority unsecured claims as of October 15, 2007.  Hidden Splendor's non-priority unsecured creditors and one customer filed their proof of claims in February 2008.  As of the date of this Report, the claims filed by Hidden Splendor's non-priority unsecured vendors and creditors total approximately $1,000,000 more than the company's disclosure statement.  Hidden Splendor management is in the process of reconciling the discrepancy and has identified numerous claims that are contestable.  For any contestable claims, Hidden Splendor will file objections with the bankruptcy court.   As of the date of this report, management believes the likelihood of the $2.7 million non-priority unsecured claims increasing by a material amount is remote.

11

Occasionally, Hidden Splendor is issued citations by the Mine Safety and Health Administration in connection with regular inspections of the Horizon mine.  As of April 28, 2008, Hidden Splendor is involved in six administrative actions involving challenges to citations with a total of $182,542 in proposed penalties.  At times, Hidden Splendor challenges citations, resulting in reductions to proposed penalties or administrative adjudications with no penalties.  Hidden Splendor has challenged the citations in the six pending actions.  As of the date of this Report, management believes the penalties that will be paid are possible and not estimable.

Revenue

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
Coal Sales	$	1,674,600	$	1,146,315	46.1%

We had revenue from continuing operations for the three-month period ending March 31, 2008 of $1,674,600, a 46.1% increase from revenues of $1,146,315 for the same three month period in 2007.  All revenue was from coal sales from our Horizon coal mine operations by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hidden Splendor Resources, Inc.  The increase was attributable to 1) increased production for the first three months of 2008 compared to 2007, and 2) an average higher sales price per ton of coal.  Increased production was due to enhanced equipment and better mining conditions during 2008.

Coal Production Costs

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
Coal production costs	$	1,039,748	$	1,456,270	(28.6%)

Our production costs during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $1,039,748, compared to $1,456,270 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This is a decline of 28.6%.  This improvement is largely due to greater production efficiencies, resulting from operational enhancements implemented by our new Chief Operating Officer during the first quarter of this year.

Historically, we have operated the mine as a “one-section” mine, meaning we have mined coal in only one area of the mine.  Beginning in late May 2008, we began operating the mine as a “two-section” mine.  That is, we are now mining coal in two areas of the mine at the same time.  Optimally, Section I will be pillaring a developed panel, while in Section II, a panel is being developed.  Because development mining involves significant roof support efforts and often discovers problem areas in the mine, such as faults in the coal seam or inflows of water, development mining is more capital intensive than pillaring.  By operating two sections, the Company can blend the two types of mining and will have the flexibility to deal with adverse conditions which may affect mining in any one section.  By operating two sections, the Company plans to increase production, though there can be no guarantee that increased production will in fact offset the costs of operating a two-section mine.

Gross Profit

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
Gross Profit	$	634,852	$	(309,955)	304.8%

Gross profit increased 304.8% from 2007 to 2008, primarily due to increased revenue and a decline in related production costs for the reasons noted above.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
General and administrative expenses	$	988,515	$	343,500	187.8%

General and administrative expenses in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 totaled $988,515, increasing 187.8% over expenses general and administrative expenses of $343,500 in the prior year’s comparable three month period.   Much of the increase in our expenses in the current quarter occurred because of the addition of executive salaries and increased accounting, legal and compliance expenses associated with becoming a public company.

Loss from Operations

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
Loss from operations	$	(353,663)	$	(653,455)	(45.9%)

Loss from operations declined 45.9% due to increased coal sales and reduced production expenses offset by increased general and administrative expenses.

Total other income (expense), net

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
Total other income (expense), net	$	(122,671)	$	(86,808)	41.3%

Total other expense increased 41.3% in the first three months of 2008 to $122,671 from $86,808 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The increase is largely due to the increase in interest recorded in the 2008 reporting period.

Net Loss

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Pro forma)		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Percentage Change (Decrease)
Net Loss	$	(527,915)	$	(740,263)	(28.7%)

For all of the reasons noted above, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased 28.7% to $527,915, compared to $740,263 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The operations of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hidden Splendor Resources, Inc. are being run by Hidden Splendor as a debtor in possession in a bankruptcy action filed by Hidden Splendor on October 15, 2007.  We believe the operations of the Horizon mine can generate sufficient revenue for Hidden Splendor to pay its ongoing post-petition expenses pursuant to a budget Hidden Splendor has created as part of its efforts to obtain a cash collateral order in the pending bankruptcy action.  Assuming monthly cash collateral orders continue to be approved by the bankruptcy court, we believe Hidden Splendor will be able to pay its budgeted post-petition debts as they come due.

Thereafter, we plan to reorganize the operations of Hidden Splendor and have a plan confirmed in the bankruptcy court which will allow Hidden Splendor to pay not only all the post-petition debts of its operations as they become due, but pay its pre-petition secured debt as well.  Our ability to pay all or part of our pre-petition unsecured debt will be contingent on the extent to which we operate profitably or obtain additional financing going forward.

We also plan on funding post-petition operations with equity sales of the company’s common stock.  However, there are no existing understandings, commitments or agreements for such an infusion; nor can there be assurances to that effect.  Moreover, the Company's need for capital may change dramatically if additional governmental regulation imposes additional costs on operations. Unless the Company can operate the Horizon mine profitably or can obtain additional financing, its ability to continue as a going concern is doubtful.

There are significant risks related to operations.  Such risks generally are outlined in Item 2 under Item 2.01(f) of the Form 8-K filed by the company on or about August 13, 2007 and are incorporated herein by this reference.  In addition to those risks, we face other risks which may adversely impact our operations.  Most significantly, we may not be able to reorganize or have a plan of reorganization confirmed in the bankruptcy of Hidden Splendor Resources.  If we are unable to reorganize or have a plan confirmed in the bankruptcy matter, we face the liquidation of the company’s major asset, the operations of the Horizon coal mine.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We have historically invested our cash and cash equivalents in short-term, fixed rate, highly rated and highly liquid instruments which are reinvested when they mature throughout the year.  Although our existing investments are not considered at risk with respect to changes in interest rates or markets for those instruments, our rate of return on short-term investments could be affected at the time of reinvestment as a result of intervening events.

We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States, and, are not subject to material foreign currency exchange risk.  Although we have outstanding debt and related interest expense, market risk of interest rate exposure in the United States is currently not material.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)      Evaluation of Disclosure Controls Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's “disclosure, controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(3) and 15-d-15(3) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure, controls and procedures are not effective at providing them with material information relating to the Company as required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act on a timely basis.  The deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures related to the number of adjusting entries required in our year-end audit process.   This deficiency has been disclosed to our Board of Directors and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures. The Company has hired a corporate controller to oversee day-to-day accounting operations.  Our management and directors will continue to work with our auditors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.

(b)      Changes in Internal Controls.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer/chief financial officer, that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as noted below, the Company is not involved in any litigation involving a claim for damages which would total, exclusive of interest and costs, in excess of 10% of the Company’s current assets.

On October 15, 2007, Hidden Splendor Resources, Inc. (“Hidden Splendor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of America West Resources, Inc. filed a Chapter 11 Petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. The name of the proceeding is In Re: Hidden Splendor Resources, Inc., Debtor in Possession, Case Number BK-N 07-07-51378-gwz, Chapter 11, and the Nevada Bankruptcy Court assumed jurisdiction in the matter on October 15, 2007.  Hidden Splendor’s petition in this regard is a Chapter 11 petition and Hidden Splendor is a debtor in possession and intends to continue to operate its business.

America West Resources, Inc. did not file a bankruptcy petition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, there were no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

Since December 31, 2007, as of the date of this report, the Company has issued 12,253,334 common shares for $1,838,000 cash.  All such shares were restricted and were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration found in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hidden Splendor Resources, Inc. is in default on its obligations to Zions First National Bank.  This includes the line of credit and two loans which comprise the vast majority of the company’s debt.  On October 9, 2007, Hidden Splendor received a letter dated October 5, 2007 from lawyer Michael W. Spence of Ray, Quinney and Nebeker in Salt Lake City, Utah stating that he and his firm represent Zions First National Bank (“Zions”) in connection with the various loans Zions has made to Hidden Splendor.  Such loans are detailed in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements filed in America West Resources’ Form 10-KSB/A filed on April 29, 2008.

Mr. Spence’s letter claims that Hidden Splendor’s obligations to Zions in connection with the loans are in default and demanded payment of the obligations in full on or before October 15, 2007.  This represented an acceleration of the amounts due from Hidden Splendor to Zions under the terms of the parties’ loan agreements.  The total amount of the obligations as stated in Mr. Spence’s letter is $5,242,015.12 as of October 3, 2007.  We believe additional interest and costs in connection with these amounts have accrued since then.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

As reported in a Definitive Schedule 14(c) filed on February 6, 2008, the shareholders took the following actions by consent:

(i) an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation from Reddi Brake Supply Corporation to America West Resources, Inc.;

(ii) an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares; and

(iii) an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of not less than 2-for-1 and not greater than 20-for-1, with the exact ratio to be set within such range in the discretion of the Board of Directors, without further approval or authorization of shareholders, provided that the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split and such amendment is filed with the Nevada Secretary of State no later than December 31, 2008.
