Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
As of November 30, 2010
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Ameriwest Petroleum,
Inc., 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 Ameriwest's Form 10-K filed
with SEC. 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 2010 as reported in the
Form 10-K have been omitted.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
As of November 30, 2010, Ameriwest has not generated revenues and has
accumulated losses since inception. The continuation of Ameriwest as a going
concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders,
its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the
attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt
regarding Ameriwest's ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF FIXED ASSETS
On November 13, 2009, the Company purchased a bioreactor pod for $24,000 to use
in a test process. As of November 30, 2010, the Company has not been able to
take possession and implement the testing of the bioreactor pod due to legal
problems the manufacturer is experiencing. The Company therefore felt it was
appropriate to write off the asset.
NOTE 4. LOAN PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
As of November 30, 2010, there is a loan payable due to William Muran for
$10,274, that is non interest bearing, unsecured, with no specific repayment
terms.
NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 23, 2010, the Company effected a six (6) for one (1) forward stock
split of its authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a
result, its authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock
to 450,000,000 shares of common stock and its issued and outstanding shares of
common stock increased from 6,250,000 shares of common stock to 37,500,000
shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.
Also effective December 23, 2010, it has changed its name from "Ameriwest
Minerals Corp." to "Ameriwest Petroleum Corp." by way of a merger with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Ameriwest Petroleum, which was formed solely for the
change of name.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our
current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect,
estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which,
by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on
these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
report. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical results or out predictions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are still in our exploration stage and have generated no revenues to date.
The Company carried out the first phase of exploration on the Key 1-4 Mineral
Claims, SW Goldfield Hills Area, Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA consists of
approximately 83 acres. The results of Phase I were not promising and management
determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders to abandon the
property and we allowed the Claim to lapse in September 2009.
On November 4, 2009 the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Suntech Energy of
British Columbia to establish the basic terms to be used in a future asset
purchase between the Company and Suntech Energy. The Agreement was to become
effective on or before March 31, 2010. The letter of intent expired without
having concluded the Agreement.
On November 13, 2009, the Company purchased a bioreactor pod for $24,000 to use
in a test process. If the results prove positive then the Company will proceed
with acquiring the license rights for those pods. As of November 30, 2010, the
Company has not been able to take possession and implement the testing of the
bioreactor pod due to legal problems the manufacturer is experiencing. The
Company therefore felt it was appropriate to write off the asset during the
period ended November 30, 2010.
As a result of the above noted events, we are now investigating other properties
on which exploration could be conducted and other business opportunities to
enhance shareholder value.
We incurred operating expenses of $26,640 and $1,953 for the three months ended
November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These expenses consisted of $1,440 and
$653, respectively, in general operating expenses and $1,200 and $1,300,
respectively, in professional fees incurred in connection with the day to day
operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our reports with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the three months ended November
30, 2010 the expenses also included $24,000 in the write-off of the bioreactor
pod.
We incurred operating expenses of $30,541 and $6,675 for the six months ended
November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These expenses consisted of $1,841
and $1,737, respectively, in general operating expenses and $4,700 and $4,938,
respectively, in professional fees incurred in connection with the day to day
7
operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our reports with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the six months ended November
30, 2010 the expenses also included $24,000 in the write-off of the bioreactor
pod.
Our net loss from inception (May 30, 2007) through November 30, 2010 was
$91,198.
We have sold $80,000 in equity securities to fund our operations to date. On May
30, 2007, we issued 3,000,000 common shares at $0.005 per share or $15,000 to
our officer and director. A total of 3,250,000 shares of common stock were
issued to non-US persons on February 18, 2008. The purchase price of the shares
was $65,000 or $0.02 per share. On September 1, 2008 1,050,000 shares were
rescinded by the company and funds in the amount of $21,000 were returned to
seven shareholders. We rescinded the shares with the consent of such
shareholders due to our concerns regarding the available exemptions from the
prospectus and registration requirements of the jurisdiction of residence of
such shareholders. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, the company was of the
view that rescission was the appropriate remedy. On September 4, 2008 a total of
1,050,000 shares of common stock were issued to six non-US persons. The purchase
price of the shares was $21,000 or $0.02 per share. These shares were exempt
from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.
The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the
quarter ended November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010, our year end.
Balance Sheet Data: 11/30/10 5/31/10
------------------- -------- -------
Cash $ 316 $ 343
Total assets $ 376 $ 24,343
Total liabilities $ 11,574 $ 5,000
Shareholders' equity $(11,198) $ 19,343
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash balance at November 30, 2010 was $316. We are an exploration stage
company and have generated no revenue to date. Management believes our current
cash balance will not be sufficient to fund our operating activities over the
next 12 months. If we experience a shortage of funds our director has informally
agreed to loan the company funds for operating expenses. As of November 30,
2010, there is a loan payable to the director for $10,274, that is non-interest
bearing, unsecured, with no specific terms of repayment.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We are now investigating other properties on which exploration could be
conducted and other business opportunities to enhance shareholder value. If we
are unable to find another property or business opportunity, our shareholders
will lose some or all of their investment and our business will likely fail.
8
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We
conducted an evaluation (the "Evaluation"), under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer
("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the period
covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on
this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there
have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their
last evaluation.
LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure
Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override
of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
9
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
CEO AND CFO CERTIFICATIONS
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are
Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in
accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302
Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is
the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302
Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the
Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics
presented.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
The following events were first reported on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2010.
AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS
On December 23, 2010, we effected a six (6) for one (1) forward stock split of
our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result,
our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock to
450,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding shares of
common stock increased from 6,250,000 shares of common stock to 37,500,000
shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.
Also effective December 23, 2010, we have changed our name from "Ameriwest

wholly-owned subsidiary Ameriwest Petroleum, which was formed solely for the
change of name.
