PROSPECTUS
Cedar
Creek Mines Ltd.
969,000
Common Shares
Dated:
October 13, 2009
Before
this offering there has been no public market for our common stock.
We are
registering 969,000 shares of common stock held by 47 selling security holders,
including 12,000 shares held by Matthew Brusciano, our Secretary. The selling
security holders will sell at an initial price of $0.25 per share until our
common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC Bulletin
Board”) and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated
prices. We will file a post-effective amendment to this Prospectus to reflect
the change to a market price if our shares of common stock begin trading on a
market or exchange. No cash will be received by us from the sale of shares of
our common stock by the selling shareholders. We will incur all costs associated
with this Prospectus.
Our
common stock is presently not listed on any national securities exchange or the
NASDAQ Stock Market. We intend to seek a market maker to file an application
with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to have our common stock quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board. We do not currently have a market maker who is
willing to list quotations for our common stock, and there can be no assurance
that an active trading market for our shares will develop, or, if developed,
that it will be sustained.
An
investment in our securities is speculative. Investors should be able to afford
the loss of their entire investment. See the section entitled "Risk Factors"
beginning on page 5 of this Prospectus.
Neither
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission
has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or
accuracy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.
This
Prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy, nor shall the selling security holders sell any of these securities in
any state where such an offer to sell or solicitation would be unlawful before
registration or qualification under such state's securities laws.
No
underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of
common stock in this offering. You should rely only on the information contained
in this prospectus and the information we have referred you to. We have not
authorized any person to provide you with any information about this offering,
Cedar Creek Mines Ltd. or the shares of our common stock offered hereby that is

Prospectus
Summary
This
Prospectus, any supplement to this Prospectus, and the documents incorporated by
reference include “forward-looking statements”. To the extent that the
information presented in this Prospectus discusses financial projections,
information or expectations about our business plans, results of operations,
products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such
statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of words such as “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”,
“estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “expects”, “plans” and “proposes”.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking statements. These include, among others, the cautionary
statements in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 5 of this Prospectus,
and the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results
of Operations” section elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Our
Business
Cedar
Creek Mines Ltd. (“Cedar Creek”, “we”, “us”) is an exploration stage company in
the business of mineral resource exploration. We were incorporated as a Delaware
company on April 3, 2008. We have one wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar Creek Mines
Inc. (“CCMI”), incorporated pursuant to the laws of Province of British
Columbia, Canada, on April 27, 2007, which we acquired on May 16, 2008. Our
executive office is located at 4170 Still Creek Drive, Suite 200, Burnaby, B.C.,
Canada, V5C 6C6. Our telephone number is (604) 320-7877. Our fiscal year end is
May 31.
We intend
to build our business by acquiring, exploring and developing mineral resource
properties in the United States and Canada. We currently own, through our wholly
owned subsidiary CCMI, an undivided 100% interest in the following four mineral
claims located near the Similkameen Valley, 25 kilometers south of Keremeos,
British Columbia:

CCMI
acquired our interest in these four claims pursuant to a purchase agreement with
Mr. Ron Schneider dated June 25, 2008. In consideration for this interest, we
paid Mr. Schneider approximately $2,914. These claims require annual payments of
approximately $2,200 to keep them in good standing. Our specific exploration
plan for the four claims, along with information regarding their location,
accessibility, geology and history, is available elsewhere in this Prospectus
under the heading “Description of Property”.
Our
project is at the exploration stage and there is no guarantee that any of our
mineral claims contain a commercially viable ore body. We have not presently
determined if our property contains mineral reserves that are economically
recoverable, and we must complete an exploration program on the claims before we
can make such a determination. We will require additional financing to carry out
any exploration program, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to
secure the necessary funds to do so.
2
Over the
next 12 months we intend to hire a geologist, land specialist and engineer,
either on a part-time basis or as independent contractors, in order to meet the
technical requirements associated with exploring and developing an exploration
stage mineral property. We are searching for qualified and experienced personnel
but we have not yet identified any particular individuals to fill these roles.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and retain qualified
personnel, and our failure to do so may cause us to go out of
business.
We have
only recently begun operations. We have not generated any revenues from our
business activities and we do not expect to generate revenues for the
foreseeable future. For the next 12 months (from the date of this prospectus),
we plan to spend approximately $347,200 to maintain our operations, carry out
the first phase of an exploration program on our mineral claims and acquire
interests in other exploration stage properties in Canada and the United States.
Since our inception, we have incurred operational losses, and we have been
issued a going concern opinion by our auditors. To finance our operations, we
have completed several rounds of financing and raised $139,650 through private
placements of our common stock.
We do not
currently have sufficient funds to fully carry out our business plan and there
is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary funds to do so.
Accordingly, there is uncertainty about our ability to continue to operate. If
we cease our operations, you may lose your entire investment in our common
stock. There are also many factors, described in detail in the "Risk Factors”
section beginning on page 5 of this Prospectus, which may adversely affect our
ability to begin and sustain profitable operations.
The
Offering
The
969,000 shares of our common stock being registered by this Prospectus represent
approximately 2% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Both before and
after the offering Guy Brusciano, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer, and a director of
the Company, will control us. Guy Brusciano has sole or shared control over
50,086,000 shares, which is approximately 98% of our issued and outstanding
common stock.
Securities
Offered:
|
969,000
shares of common stock offered by the 47 selling security holders,
including 12,000 shares held by Matthew Brusciano, our
Secretary.
|
|
Initial
Offering Price:
|
The
$0.25 per share initial offering price of our common stock was determined
by our Board of Directors based on several factors, including our capital
structure and the most recent selling price of our common stock in a
private placement for 42,000 shares at $0.25 per share on July 3, 2009.
The selling security holders will sell at an initial price of $0.25 per
share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated
prices.
|
3
Minimum
Number of Securities to be Sold in this Offering:
|
None.
|
|
Securities
Issued and
to
be Issued:
|
As
of the date of this prospectus, we had 51,055,000 issued and outstanding
shares of our common stock and no outstanding options, warrants or other
convertible securities.
All
of the common stock to be sold under this Prospectus will be sold by
existing stockholders. There is no established market for the common stock
being registered. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board. This process usually takes at least 60 days and
the application must be made on our behalf by a market maker. We have not
engaged any market maker as a sponsor to make an application on our
behalf. If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we
will be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock. If our
common stock becomes listed and a market for the stock develops, the
actual price of the stock will be determined by prevailing market prices
at the time of sale. Trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is
often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling or
obtaining market quotations, which may have a depressive effect on the
market price for our common stock.
|
|
Proceeds:
|
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the
selling security
holders.

Risk
Factors
Please
consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common
stock.
This
offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the
information contained in this Prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our
common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price
of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
Business
Risks
1. We
lack an operating history and there is no assurance that our future operations
will result in revenues or profits. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to
operate profitably, we may suspend or cease our operations.
We
were incorporated on April 3, 2008, our subsidiary was incorporated on April 27,
2007, and we have yet to generate any revenues. We also have very little
operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can
be made. As of May 31, 2009, we had incurred a net loss of
$215,028.
The
success of our future operations is dependent upon our ability to:
·
|
carry
out our planned exploration activities on our current mineral
claims;
|
·
|
acquire
additional interests in exploration stage properties;
and
|
·
|
compete
effectively with other mining
companies.
|
5
Based on
our current business plan, we expect to incur operating losses for the
foreseeable future. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in
generating significant revenues, and our failure to achieve profitability may
cause us to suspend or cease our operations.
2. We
will need a significant amount of capital to carry out our proposed business
plan, and unless we are able to raise sufficient funds, we may be forced to
discontinue our operations.
In
order to carry out an exploration program on our current mineral claims and
acquire additional interests in exploration stage properties, we will require a
significant amount of capital. We estimate that we will need approximately
$347,200 to finance our planned operations for the next 12 months, including
$175,000 to undertake the first phase of our exploration
program.
We
will not receive the proceeds of this offering.
We
intend to raise our cash requirements for the next 12 months through the sale of
our equity securities in private placements, through shareholder loans, or
possibly through a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or
through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through
such capital-raising efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such
as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer
to provide us with financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be
available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. We
intend to negotiate with our management and consultants to pay parts of their
salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash.
Our
ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our business plan is
subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor
acceptance of our business plan. These factors may make the timing, amount,
terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we
are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will have to significantly reduce our
spending, delay or cancel our planned activities or substantially change our
current corporate structure. There is no guarantee that we will be able to
obtain any funding or that we will have sufficient resources to conduct our
business as projected, any of which could mean that we will be forced to
discontinue our operations.
3. Because
we are in the preliminary exploration stage on our mineral claims, we face a
high risk of business failure and this could result in a total loss of your
investment.
We are in
the preliminary stage of exploring our mineral claims, and thus have no way to
evaluate the likelihood of whether we will be able to operate our business
successfully. To date, we have been involved primarily in organizational
activities, acquiring interests in mineral properties, preparing a plan of
exploration and preliminary drilling. We have not earned any revenues and have
not achieved profitability.
New
mineral exploration companies often encounter difficulties, and the rate of
failure of such enterprises is high. The likelihood that we will succeed must be
considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and
delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties
that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited
to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and
expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have no history upon which to
base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove
successful, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate
any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are
unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will likely fail and you
may lose your entire investment.
6
4. We
must comply with government regulations that may increase the anticipated time
and cost of our exploration program, which could prevent us from becoming
profitable.
We will
be subject to the mining laws and regulations in Canada as we carry out an
exploration program. Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to the
federal, provincial and local laws, regulations and policies of Canada,
including laws regulating the removal of minerals from the ground and the
discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation
activities are also subject to federal, provincial and local laws and
regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the
design and use of drilling methods and equipment.
Various
permits from government bodies are required to conduct drilling operations, and
we cannot assure you that we will receive such permits. Environmental standards
imposed by federal, provincial or local authorities may change, and any such
changes may prevent us from conducting our planned activities or increase the
costs of doing so, which could have material adverse effects on our business.
Moreover, compliance with such laws could produce adverse effects by causing
substantial delays or requiring capital outlays in excess of those anticipated.
Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other
environmental damages which we may not be able to, or elect not to, insure
against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.
While our
planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk
that our mineral exploration and mining activities may be adversely affected to
varying degrees by changing governmental regulations relating to the mining
industry. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory
agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will alter and
negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.
5. Mineral
exploration is inherently dangerous, and there is a risk that we may incur
liability or damages that could force us to cease operations.
The
search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. In the course of
carrying out an exploration program on our mineral claims, we may become subject
to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins, stuck drill steel,
physical risks to exploration personnel, adverse weather precluding drill site
access and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may
elect not to insure. We do not currently have any insurance nor do we expect to
procure any insurance for the foreseeable future. If any hazards are to occur,
the costs of rectifying such hazards may exceed the value of our assets and
cause us to liquidate them, resulting in the loss of your entire investment in
our common stock.
6. We
may not locate any commercially viable mineral deposits on any of our current or
future properties, which could cause the value of your investment to
decline.
Our
exploration for commercially viable mineral deposits is highly speculative in
nature and involves the substantial risk that no viable mineral deposits will be
located on any of our present or future mineral properties. There is a
considerable risk that any exploration program we conduct on our properties may
not result in the discovery of any significant mineralization or commercial
viable mineral deposits. We may encounter numerous geological features that
limit our ability to locate mineralization or that interfere with our planned
exploration programs, each of which could result in our exploration efforts
proving unsuccessful. In such a case, we may incur the costs associated with an
exploration program without realizing any benefit. This would likely result in a
decrease in the value of our common stock.
7
7. We
may not be able to extract commercially viable mineral deposits from our current
or future properties, which could prevent us from achieving
profitability.
Although
we may succeed in discovering mineral deposits on our current or future
properties, we cannot be certain that these deposits will be capable of
supporting projected production levels or exist in sufficient quantities to be
commercially viable.
On a
long-term basis, our viability depends on our ability to find, acquire and
develop commercially viable mineral properties. The quantity of any future
deposits not only depends on our ability to develop existing properties, but
also on our ability to identify and acquire additional productive property
interests, find markets for the minerals we extract and effectively distribute
such minerals into those markets.
Our
exploration expenditures may not result in new discoveries of minerals in
commercially viable quantities. It is difficult to project the costs of
implementing an exploration program due to the inherent uncertainties of mining
in unknown formations, the costs associated with encountering various drilling
conditions such as over-pressured zones, tools lost in the hole, changes in
drilling plans and locations as a result of prior exploratory wells or
additional seismic data and interpretations thereof that may be required. Mining
hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations,
and various field conditions could adversely affect the production from
successful reserves. If exploration costs exceed our estimates, or if our
exploration activities do not produce results which meet our expectations, our
efforts may not be commercially successful, which could prevent us from becoming
profitable.
Our
mineral claims do not contain reserves or any proven commercially viable bodies
of ore. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing ore of
commercial tonnage and grade on any of our mineral claims, we will require
additional funds in order to advance the mineral claims into commercial
production. In such an event, we may be unable to obtain any such funds, or to
obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible. If we do not
raise enough money for production, we will have to delay production or go out of
business. We may not be able to achieve any revenues, which will result in the
loss of your investment in our common stock.
8. Mineral
exploration is a highly competitive business, and we must compete with other
companies for financing and to acquire additional property interests. Our
inability to do either could cause us to cease our operations.
Mineral
exploration is a highly competitive business, and we have limited resources with
which to compete. Our competition includes large established mining companies
with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources
than we have. Numerous companies headquartered in the United States, Canada and
elsewhere in the world compete for financing and properties on a global basis,
and we may be unable to acquire either on terms we consider acceptable, or at
all. If we are unable to successfully attract the necessary investment capital
to fully explore and develop our mineral claims or acquire other desirable
properties, we may be forced to cease our operations.
8
9. Our
success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain key skilled
professionals, which we may or may not be able to do. Our failure to do so could
prevent us from achieving our goals or becoming profitable.
We plan
to hire a geologist, a land specialist and an engineer on a part-time basis or
as independent contractors to provide us with technical services regarding our
operations and proposed exploration program. However, competition for qualified
skilled professionals is intense, and we may be unable to attract and retain
such key personnel. This could prevent us from achieving our goals or becoming
profitable.
10. Since
our directors, executive officer and our business assets are not located in the
United States, you may be limited in your ability to enforce U.S. civil actions
against them. You may not be able to receive compensation for damages to the
value of your investment caused by wrongful actions by our directors and
executive officer.
Our
business assets are located in Canada, Guy Brusciano, our sole executive officer
and a director of the Company, is a resident of Canada and Anthony William
Howland-Rose, a director of our company is a resident of Australia.
Consequently, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to affect service of
process on them within the United States or to enforce a civil judgment of a
U.S. court in Canada or Australia if a Canadian or Australian court determines
that the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained did not have jurisdiction
in the matter. There is also substantial doubt whether an original action
predicated solely upon civil liability may successfully be brought in Canada or
Australia against our directors and executive officer or any of our assets. As a
result, you may not be able to recover damages as compensation for a decline in
the value of your investment.
11. We
may denominate some of our sales, operating costs and assets in Canadian
dollars, which could affect the accuracy of our reported earnings or
losses.
Although
we intend to report our financial results in U.S. dollars, a portion of our
sales and operating costs, as well as some of our assets, may be denominated in
Canadian dollars. Consequently, any change in the value of the Canadian dollar
relative to the U.S. dollar during a given financial reporting period will
result in a foreign exchange gain or loss on the translation of the numbers from
one currency to the other. This could affect the accuracy of our reported
earnings or losses.
12. Our
operations are subject to various litigation risks that could increase our
expenses, impact our profitability and lower the value of your investment in
us.
Although
we are not currently involved in any litigation, the nature of our operations
exposes us to possible future litigation claims. There is a risk that any claim
could be adversely decided against us, which could harm our financial condition
and results of operations. Similarly, the costs associated with defending
against any claim could dramatically increase our expenses, as litigation is
often very expensive. Possible litigation matters may include, but are not
limited to, environmental damage and remediation, workers’ compensation,
insurance coverage, property rights and easements and the maintenance of mining
claims. Should we become involved in any litigation we will be forced to direct
our limited resources to defending against or prosecuting the claim(s), which
could impact our profitability and lower the value of your investment in
us.
9
13. Since
our sole executive officer does not have significant training or experience in
the mining industry, our ability to carry on business could be harmed by his
decisions and choices.
Guy
Brusciano, our sole executive officer, has limited experience in the field of
mineral resource exploration. With no direct training or experience in the
mining industry he may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements
related to working within it, and his decisions and choices may fail to take
into account standard technical or managerial approaches which mineral resource
exploration companies commonly use. This could harm our ability to carry on
business.
14. We
may indemnify our directors and executive officer against liability to us and
our stockholders, and such indemnification could increase our operating
costs.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and
officers against claims associated with carrying out the duties of their
offices. Our Bylaws also allow us to reimburse them for the costs of certain
legal defenses. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to our directors,
officers or control persons, we have been advised by the SEC that such
indemnification is against public policy and is therefore
unenforceable.
Since our
directors and executive officer are aware that they may be indemnified for
carrying out the duties of his offices, they may be less motivated to meet the
standards required by law to properly carry out such duties, which could
increase our operating costs. Further, if our directors or executive officer
file a claim against us for indemnification, the associated expenses could also
increase our operating costs.
15. The
enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to retain
or attract officers and directors, which could increase our operating costs or
prevent us from becoming profitable.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concern regarding
corporate accountability in the wake of a number of accounting scandals. The
stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility,
provide enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly
traded companies and protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability
of corporate disclosure pursuant to applicable securities laws. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to all companies that file or are required to file
periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”).
Upon
becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the
imposition of a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase the
responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers, the
perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter
qualified individuals from accepting such roles. Consequently, it may be more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as our
directors or executive officers, and we may need to incur additional operating
costs. This could prevent us from becoming profitable.
10
Risks
Related to Our Securities
16. Because
there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to
resell your shares.
There is
currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is no
central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell
your shares. If you do wish to resell your shares, you will have to locate a
buyer and negotiate your own sale. As a result, you may be unable to sell your
shares, or you may be forced to sell them at a loss.
We cannot
assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock. We
intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board after
this Prospectus is declared effective by the SEC, but if for any reason our
common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or a public trading market
does not otherwise develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty
selling their shares. Even if our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, the trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often sporadic and
investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market
quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price for
our common stock. You may not be able to sell your shares at their purchase
price or at any price at all. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any
shares you purchase from the selling security holders.
17. The
continued sale of our equity securities will dilute the ownership percentage of
our existing stockholders and may decrease the market price for our common
stock.
Given our
lack of revenues and the doubtful prospect that we will earn significant
revenues in the next several years, we will likely have to issue additional
equity securities to obtain the $347,200 in financing we require for the next 12
months. Our efforts to fund our planned exploration and acquisition activities
will therefore result in dilution to our existing stockholders. In short, our
continued need to sell equity will result in reduced percentage ownership
interests for all of our investors, which may decrease the market price for our
common stock.
18. We
do not intend to pay dividends and there will thus be fewer ways in which you
are able to make a gain on your investment.
We have
never paid any cash or stock dividends and we do not intend to pay any dividends
for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding
currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may
prohibit the payment of any dividends. Because we do not intend to declare
dividends, any gain on your investment will need to result from an appreciation
in the price of our common stock. There will therefore be fewer ways in which
you are able to make a gain on your investment.
19. Because
the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in
shares of penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade our securities.
This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares, which may cause
the value of your investment to decline.
Our
shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by section 15(g) of the
Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket.
For sales of our securities, broker-dealers must make a special suitability
determination and receive a written agreement from you prior to making a sale on
your behalf. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales
practices, it is possible that broker-dealers will not want to make a market in
our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the
value of your investment to decline.
11
20. Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit
your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of
our shares.
FINRA
rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an
investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the
customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to
obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and
investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules,
FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced
securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA
requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their
customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our
shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress
our share price.
21. You
may face significant restrictions on the resale of your shares due to state
“blue sky” laws.
Each
state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which: (1)
limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are
registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration; and (2)
govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or
indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a
registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from
registration. The applicable broker must also be registered in that
state.
We do not
know whether our securities will be registered or exempt from registration under
the laws of any state. A determination regarding registration will be made by
the broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as market makers for our common
stock. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability
of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our securities. You should
therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you
may be unable to resell your shares without the significant expense of state
registration or qualification.
22. Resale
restrictions for British Columbia residents and other Canadian residents may
limit your ability to sell your shares.
If you
are a resident of British Columbia, you must rely on an exemption from the
prospectus and registration requirements of B.C. securities laws to resell your
shares. Since our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board,
B.C. residents must comply with the B.C. Securities Commission's B.C. Instrument
72-502 - Trades In Securities
of U.S. Registered Issuers (“BCI 72-502”), which requires, among other
conditions, that B.C. residents hold their shares for four months and limit the
volume of shares they sell in any 12-month period (See "Canadian Securities Law"
under the Plan of Distribution). These restrictions limit the ability of
B.C. residents to resell shares of our common stock in the United States and
therefore, may materially affect the market value of your
investment.
12
If our
application to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is
accepted, security holders who are residents of British Columbia will instead
need to comply with the restrictions and exemptions of the B.C. Securities
Commission's B.C. Instrument 51-509 - Issuers Quoted in the U.S.
Over-the-Counter Markets (“BCI 51-509”) to resell their
shares. We believe that BCI 51-509 will apply because our sole
executive officer and one of our directors is a resident of British
Columbia.
If you
are a resident of another Canadian province, you must rely on other available
prospectus and registration exemptions to resell your shares. If you cannot rely
on another such exemption, then you may have to hold your shares for an
indefinite period of time.
23. Because
one of our directors and executive officer will control more than 50% of our
issued and outstanding common stock after this offering, he will retain control
of us and be able to elect our directors. You therefore may not be able to
remove him as a director, which could prevent us from becoming
profitable.
Guy
Brusciano, a director of the Company and our sole executive officer, has control
over 50,086,000 of our shares, which is approximately 98% of our issued and
outstanding common stock. Because Guy Brusciano will continue to control more
than 50% of our issued and outstanding common stock, he will be able to elect
all of our directors and control our operations. He may have an interest in
pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that involve risks.
For example, he could cause us to sell revenue-generating assets or to make
acquisitions or enter into strategic transactions that increase our
indebtedness. He may also acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete
directly or indirectly with us. If Guy Brusciano fails to act in our best
interests or fails to manage us adequately, you may have difficulty removing him
as a director, which could prevent us from becoming profitable.
Use of
Proceeds
We will
not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock offered under this
Prospectus by the selling security holders.
Determination of Offering
Price
The
selling security holders will sell their shares at an initial offering price of
$0.25 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We will
file a post-effective amendment to this Prospectus to reflect the change to a
market price if our shares of common stock begin trading on a market or
exchange. The initial offering price was determined by our Board of Directors,
who considered several factors in arriving at the $0.25 per share figure,
including the following:
·
|
our
most recent private placements of 42,000 shares of our common stock at
$0.25 per share on July 3, 2009;
|
·
|
our
lack of operating history;
|
·
|
our
capital structure; and
|
·
|
the
background of our management.
|
13
As a
result, the $0.25 per share initial price of our common stock does not
necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and may not
be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time. The price is not based on
past earnings, nor is it indicative of the current market value of our assets.
No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. There is no
guarantee that a public market for any of our securities will
develop.
If our
common stock becomes quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and a market for the stock
develops, the actual price of the shares sold by the selling security holders
will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private
transactions negotiated by the selling security holders. The number of shares
that may actually be sold by a selling security holder will be determined by
each selling security holder. The selling security holders are neither obligated
to sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this Prospectus, nor are
they obligated to sell such shares immediately hereunder. Security holders may
sell their shares at a price different than the $0.25 per share offering price
depending on privately negotiated factors such as the security holder's own cash
requirements or objective criteria of value such as the market value of our
assets.
Dilution
All of
the 969,000 shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling security
holders are currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, they will not cause
dilution to any of our existing shareholders.

|
Other
than as described above, these shares were issued without a prospectus pursuant
to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.
Our
reliance upon Rule 903 of Regulation S was based on the fact that the sales of
the securities were completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule
902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as
defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the
securities. Each offshore investor was not a U.S. person, as defined in
Regulation S, and was not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of
a U.S. person.
The 47
selling security holders will sell their shares at an initial offering price of
$0.25 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and
thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. This
Prospectus includes registration of the following 969,000 shares of our common
stock:
15
·
|
12,000
shares owned by Matthew Brusciano, our Secretary;
and
|
·
|
957,000
shares owned by other security
holders.
|
We
determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to register the
foregoing 969,000 shares of common stock which comprise all of our common stock
not beneficially owned by our directors.
The
following table provides information as of the date of this prospectus,
regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the
selling security holders, including:
·

Notes:
(1)
|
The
number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in
accordance with the Rules of the SEC and to the best of our knowledge, the
information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any
other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares
as to which the selling security holder has sole or shared voting or
investment power and also any shares which the selling security holder has
the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this
Prospectus.

To
the best of our knowledge, Giuseppe Anania and Maria Anania are husband
and wife.

|
Less
than 1%.
|
(4)
|
To
the best of our knowledge, Viriato Batista and Carlos Batista are father
and son.
|
The
percentages in the above table are based on the 51,055,000 shares of our common
stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and assume that none of the
selling security holders will sell shares not being offered in this Prospectus
or will purchase additional shares, and that all the shares being registered
will be sold.
Except as
otherwise noted in the above list, the named party beneficially owns and has
sole voting and investment control over the shares or the rights to the shares.
Furthermore, other than as described above, none of the selling security holders
or their beneficial owners has had a material relationship with us other than as
a shareholder at any time within the past three years, or has ever been one of
our officers or directors or an officer or director of our predecessors or
affiliates.
None of
the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of a
broker-dealer.
Plan of
Distribution
We are
registering 969,000 shares of our common stock on behalf of the selling security
holders. The 969,000 shares of our common stock can be sold by the selling
security holders at an initial offering price of $0.25 per share until our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing
market prices or privately negotiated prices.
No public
market currently exists for our common stock. We intend to apply to have our
common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, but in order for this to occur a
market maker must file an application on our behalf to make a market for our
common stock. This process takes at least 60 days and can take longer than a
year. We have not engaged any market maker as a sponsor to make an application
on our behalf. If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we
may be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock.
18
Trading
in securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is
characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that
may have little to do with a company's operations or business prospects. The OTC
Bulletin Board should not be confused with the NASDAQ market, as OTC Bulletin
Board companies are subject to fewer restrictions and regulations than NASDAQ
market companies. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and
the trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than
the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like the NASDAQ Capital
Market or a stock exchange. In the absence of an active trading market investors
may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations for our
common stock and its market visibility may be limited, which may have a negative
effect on the market price of our common stock.
There is
no assurance that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We
do not currently meet the existing requirements to have our stock quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board, and we cannot assure you that we will ever meet these
requirements.
The
selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares of our common
stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
· on
such public markets as the securities may be trading;
· in
privately negotiated transactions; or
· in
any combination of these methods of distribution.
The
selling security holders may offer our common stock to the public:
· at
an initial price of $0.25 per share until a market develops;
· at
the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
· at
a price related to such prevailing market price; or
· at
such other price as the selling security holders determine.
We are
bearing all costs relating to the registration of our common stock. The selling
security holders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to
brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of our common
stock.
The
selling security holders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of our common stock. In particular,
during such times as the selling security holders may be deemed to be engaged in
a distribution of any securities, and therefore be considered to be an
underwriter, they must comply with applicable laws and may, among other
things:
·
|
furnish
each broker or dealer through which our common stock may be offered such
copies of this Prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be
required by such broker or dealer;
|
·
|
not
engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our securities;
and
|
19
·
|
not
bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person
to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the
Exchange Act.
|
The
selling security holders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any commissions or concessions received by any such
underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act. Our common stock may be sold from time to
time by the selling security holders in one or more transactions at a fixed
offering price, which may be changed, at varying prices determined at the time
of sale or at negotiated prices. We may indemnify any underwriter against
specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
The
selling security holders and any broker-dealers acting in connection with the
sale of the common stock offered under this Prospectus may be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any
commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of
shares as principals may be deemed underwriting compensation under the
Securities Act. Neither we nor the selling security holders can presently
estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements
between the selling security holders and any other security holder, broker,
dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of our common
stock.
Because
the selling security holders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning
of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Each selling security holder has
advised us that they have not yet entered into any agreements, understandings,
or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of
our common stock. We may indemnify any underwriter against specific civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Regulation
M
During
such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of any of the securities
being registered by this Prospectus, the selling security holders are required
to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. In general,
Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchaser and
any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from
bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or
purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until the entire
distribution is complete.
Regulation
M defines a “distribution” as an offering of
securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the
magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and
selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution participant” as an underwriter,
prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to
participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation
M prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from
bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a
beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the
distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to
stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the
security. We have informed the selling security holders that the
anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their
shares offered by this Prospectus, and we have also advised the selling security
holders of the requirements for delivery of this Prospectus in connection with
any sales of the shares offered by this Prospectus.
20
With
regard to short sales, the selling security holders cannot cover their short
sales with securities from this offering. In addition, if a short sale is deemed
to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling security holders will not be
permitted to engage such an activity. All of these limitations may affect the
marketability of our common stock.
Penny
Stock Rules
The SEC
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board system,
provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions
in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document prepared by the SEC which:
·
|
contains
a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
|
·
|
contains
a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of
the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a
violation of such duties or other requirements of federal securities
laws;
|
·
|
contains
a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid
and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between
the bid and ask prices;
|
·
|
contains
a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions;
|
·
|
defines
significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading
penny stocks; and
|
·
|
contains
such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size
and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or
regulation.
|
Prior to
effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer must also provide a
customer with:
·
|
the
bid and ask prices for the penny
stock;
|
·
|
the
number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market
for such stock;
|
·
|
the
amount and a description of any compensation that the broker-dealer and
its associated salesperson will receive in connection with the
transaction; and
|
21
·
|
a
monthly account statement indicating the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer's account.
|
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction
in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive: (1) the purchaser's written
acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (2) a written
agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (3) a signed and dated
copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have
the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our
securities, and therefore security holders may have difficulty selling their
shares.
Canadian
Securities Law
Selling
security holders who are residents of a province of Canada must comply with
applicable provincial securities laws to resell their shares. To the
extent required by such provincial securities laws, selling security holders
will have to rely on available prospectus and registration exemptions
to do so. To the extent such an exemption is not available such residents
may be subject to an indefinite hold period with respect to their
shares. All Canadian security holders should consult independent legal
counsel with respect to ascertaining any available prospectus and registration
exemptions for reselling their shares.
Stockholders
who are residents of British Columbia may rely on an exemption from the
prospectus and registration requirements of B.C. securities laws to sell the
shares being registered for resale by this Prospectus under the B.C. Securities
Commission's BCI 72-502. Note that under the B.C. Securities Commission’s BCI
51-509, this exemption will cease to be available to issuers quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board or other over-the-counter quotation services, and accordingly
selling security holders resident in British Columbia should verify whether any
exemption is available at the time of future resale. Once we are
granted a stock symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board, shareholders resident in
British Columbia will need to comply with provisions of BCI 51-509 to sell our
common shares.
To the
extent BCI 72-502 is available, a B.C. resident who acquired securities under a
prospectus exemption in a company that is not a reporting issuer under the Securities Act (British
Columbia) may sell those securities without filing a prospectus under the Act,
if the following conditions are met:
(1)
|
The
securities of the company are registered under section 12 of the Exchange
Act, as amended, or the company is required to file reports under section
15(d) of that Act.
|
(2)
|
The
seller's residential address or registered office is in British
Columbia.
|
(3)
|
A
four-month period has passed since the date the company issued the
securities to the seller, or a control person sold the securities to the
seller.
|
(4)
|
If
the seller is a control person of the company, then the seller has held
the securities for at least 6
months.
|
22
(5)
|
The
number of securities the seller proposes to sell under BCI 72-502, plus
the number of securities of the company of the same class that the seller
has sold in the preceding 12-month period, does not exceed 5% of the
company's outstanding securities of the same
class.
|
(6)
|
The
seller sells the securities through a registered investment
dealer.
|
(7)
|
The
registered investment dealer executes the trade through an exchange, or
market, outside Canada.
|
(8)
|
There
has been no unusual effort made to prepare the market or create a demand
for the securities.
|
(9)
|
The
seller has not paid any extraordinary commission or other consideration
for the trade.
|
(10)
|
If
the seller is an insider of the company, the seller reasonably believes
that the company is not in default of the securities legislation
(including U.S. federal and state securities legislation) that governs the
company.
|
Blue
Sky Restrictions on Resale
When a
selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this
Prospectus in the United States, the selling security holder will need to comply
with applicable state securities laws, also known as “blue sky laws,” with
regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from the
registration of secondary sales. Many states, for example, grant an exemption
for the secondary trading of securities registered under section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of
financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such
as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a selling security holder should be
able to advise the security holder which states grant exemptions for secondary
sales of our common stock.
Any
person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder
pursuant to this Prospectus, and who subsequently wishes to resell the shares
will also have to comply with blue sky laws regarding secondary
sales.
Description of Securities to
be Registered
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 common shares, $0.00001 par
value and 50,000,000 preferred shares, $0.00001 par value.
Common
Stock
As of the
date of this prospectus, we have 51,055,000 issued and outstanding shares of our
common stock and we do not have any options, warrants or other convertible
securities outstanding.
23
Holders
of our common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of
common stock or other subscription rights. Our common stock carries no
conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund
provisions. All shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in
dividends from sources legally available, when, as and if declared by our Board
of Directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or
involuntary, to share equally in our assets available for distribution to our
stockholders.
Our Board
of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock not to
exceed the amount authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation, on such terms
and conditions and for such consideration as our Board may deem appropriate
without further stockholder action.
Voting
Rights
Each
holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on
which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of our common
stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they
choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not
be able to elect any person to our Board of Directors.
Dividend
Policy
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. From our
inception to the date of this prospectus no dividends have been
declared.
We do not
intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain earnings,
if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. However, it is
possible that our management may decide to declare a stock dividend in the
future. Our future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our
Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our
financial condition, our capital requirements, general business conditions and
other factors.
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.00001. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any preferred shares
outstanding. Under our Bylaws, our Board of Directors has the power, without
further action by the stockholders, to determine the relative rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of our preferred stock, and to issue
the preferred stock in one or more series. The designation of rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions could include matters such as
liquidation, redemption, conversion, voting and dividends, any of which may
dilute the interests of holders of our common stock or preferred stock of any
other series.
Interests of Named Experts
and Counsel
No expert
or counsel named in this Prospectus as having prepared or certified any part
thereof or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being
registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or
offering of our common stock was employed for such purpose on a contingency
basis or had or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial
interest, direct or indirect, in us or in any of our subsidiaries. Additionally,
no such expert or counsel was connected with us or any of our subsidiaries as a
promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer
or employee.
24
Accountants
Our
audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2009, and
May 31, 2008, have been included in this Prospectus in reliance upon Kempisty
& Company, Certified Public Accountants, P.C., as experts in accounting and
auditing.
Description of
Business
Overview
We are an
exploration stage company in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral
resource properties. We have only recently commenced our operations, which to
date have been limited to raising capital and researching and acquiring mineral
claims in British Columbia, Canada.
Our plan
of operation for the next 12 months (from the date of this prospectus) is to
conduct an exploration program on our mineral claims and acquire interests in
other mineral resource properties in the United States or Canada. We intend to
explore primarily for precious metals, but we may explore for other minerals if
our claims or any properties in which we acquire an interest displays signs that
such minerals may be discoverable.
We
anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to complete an
exploration program on our existing mineral claims and acquire interests in
other mineral resource properties. We do not currently have sufficient funds to
undertake such a program and there is no assurance that we will be able to
obtain the funds necessary to do so. Exploration activities beyond the scope of
our business plan may be required before a final evaluation can be made
regarding the economic and legal feasibility of developing our
claims.
Development
of Business
From our
inception on April 3, 2008, to the present, we have been primarily involved in
organizational activities. We have developed our business plan, reviewed and
identified interests, raised capital and retained experts in law, accounting and
auditing. We have also purchased four mineral claims and acquired our wholly
owned subsidiary, as follows:
·
|
On
April 3, 2008, we appointed Guy Brusciano as our President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer,
Treasurer and a director of our
Company.
|
·
|
On
May 16, 2008, we issued 498,400 shares of our common stock to ten
investors in exchange for 498,400 shares of the common stock of Cedar
Creek Mines Inc., a British Columbia company. The 498,400 shares of Cedar
Creek Mines Inc. represented 100% of its issued and outstanding stock, and
as a result Cedar Creek Mines Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary. In
this share exchange we also acquired all of the assets of Cedar Creek
Mines Inc., which included the $80,830 balance of its cash
holdings.
|
·
|
Effective
June 25, 2008, through our wholly owned subsidiary CCMI, we entered into a
purchase agreement with Ron Schneider to acquire four mineral claims near
Similkameen Valley, 25 kilometers south of Keremeos, British Columbia (the
“Leamington Property”). On July 29, 2008, Mr. Schneider completed the
electronic transfer of the Leamington Property to
us.
|
25
·
|
On
June 26, 2008, CCMI acquired a Free Miner’s License in order to be able to
legally hold mining permits in British Columbia,
Canada.
|
·
|
In
August, 2008, we engaged Kempisty & Company, Certified Public
Accountants, P.C. as our auditors to audit our consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended May 31,
2008.
|
·
|
On
July 7, 2009, we appointed Anthony William Howland-Rose as a director of
the Company.
|
From
our inception on April 3, 2008, to the date of this prospectus, we raised
approximately $139,650 through private placements. We also received
$80,830 in cash by acquiring Cedar Creek Mines Inc. and all of its assets on May
16, 2008. During the same period we also attended various conferences and trade
shows in Hong Kong and throughout China in order to develop our business
connections and identify further mineral resource properties to
acquire.
Leamington
Property
On June
25, 2008, we completed the purchase of the Leamington Property from Ron
Schneider through our wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar Creek Mines Inc. The
Leamington Property consists of an undivided 100% interest in four mineral
claims located near the Similkameen Valley, 25 kilometers south of Keremeos,
British Columbia. In exchange for the Leamington Property, we paid Ron Schneider
approximately $2,914 (CDN $3,000), which consisted of the purchase price of
$2,428 (CDN $2,500) and a service fee of approximately $486 (CDN $500). On July
29, 2008, Mr. Schneider completed the electronic transfer of the Leamington
Property to us.
We will
be required to pay annual fees of approximately $2,200 for the next two years
and approximately $3,700 for subsequent years to maintain our interest in the
Leamington Property.
We plan
to carry out an exploration program on the Leamington Property to determine if
it possesses commercially exploitable quantities of precious metals. We do
not know if the claims contain commercially viable deposits or reserves and we
will not be able to ascertain if this is the case until the exploration program
and an economic evaluation of the results is completed.
We
anticipate that the first phase of our exploration program on the Leamington
Property will commence in the Spring of 2010 and cost approximately $175,000 to
complete. This phase will consist of the following:
·
|
a
thorough review of the available geologic literature, maps and cross
sections relevant to our claims;
|
·
|
on-site
surface reconnaissance, mapping and
sampling;
|
·
|
geochemical
analysis of the gathered samples;
|
·
|
data
compilation; and
|
·
|
the
preparation of a formal geological
report.
|
26
The
second phase of our program will consist of further mapping and sampling, a
comprehensive drill program and the staking of new mineral claims. We
expect this phase to cost approximately $200,000 and begin in the Winter of
2010/2011.
We
intend to raise our cash requirements for the next 12 months through the sale of
our equity securities in private placements, through shareholder loans, or
possibly through a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or
through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through
such capital-raising efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such
as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer
to provide us with financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be
available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. We
intend to negotiate with our management and consultants to pay parts of their
salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash.
Our
ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our business plan is
subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor
acceptance of our business plan. These factors may make the timing, amount,
terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we
are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will have to significantly reduce our
spending, delay or cancel our planned activities or substantially change our
current corporate structure. There is no guarantee that we will be able to
obtain any funding or that we will have sufficient resources to conduct our
business as projected, any of which could mean that we will be forced to
discontinue our operations.
Additional
information on the Leamington Property is contained in the “Description of the
Property” section elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Market
for Minerals
If we are
able to extract minerals from the Leamington property, we will need to develop a
marketing strategy to sell them. Available wholesale purchasers of minerals and
precious metals exist in North America and throughout the world. Historically,
the markets for minerals and precious metals are liquid and volatile. Wholesale
purchase prices can be affected by a number of factors, all of which are beyond
our control, including but not limited to:
·
|
fluctuation
in the supply of, demand and market price for
minerals;
|
·
|
the
mining activities of others;
|
·
|
the
sale or purchase of certain precious metals by central banks and for
investment purposes by individuals and financial
institutions;
|
·
|
interest
rates;
|
·
|
currency
exchange rates;
|
·
|
inflation
or deflation; and
|
·
|
the
political and economic conditions in major mineral-producing
countries.
|
27
If we are
able to locate minerals that are of economic grade in sufficient quantities to
justify their removal, we may seek additional capital through equity or debt
financing to build a mine and processing facility, find another entity to mine
our claims on our behalf or as a joint venture, or sell our rights to mine the
minerals. Any ore we mine would need to be processed through a series of steps
to produce a rough concentrate. This rough concentrate must then be sold to
refiners and smelters for the value of the minerals that it contains, less the
cost of further concentrating, refining and smelting. Refiners and smelters then
sell the refined minerals on the open market through brokers who work for
wholesalers. Based upon the current demand for minerals, we believe that we will
not have any difficulty selling any minerals that we may recover. However, we
have not presently located any mineral reserves, and there is no assurance that
we will find any economically viable reserves of minerals in the
future.
Competition
We are a
new and unestablished company and have a weak competitive position in the
mineral exploration industry. We compete with other mineral exploration
companies who are actively seeking to acquire mineral properties throughout the
world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on
those properties.
Many of
the mineral exploration companies with which we compete for financing and for
the acquisition of new mineral properties have greater financial and technical
resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able
to spend greater amounts on acquiring properties of merit or exploring and
developing their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford
increased geological expertise to more accurately target and explore potential
mineral properties. These advantages could enable our competitors to acquire
properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may
choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition
could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to
acquire further mineral properties or explore or develop our current or future
mineral properties.
We
compete with other mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited
number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence
of competing mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise
additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration activities if
investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based
on the merit of their mineral properties or the price of the investment
opportunity. We must also compete with other mineral companies for available
resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff,
helicopters, float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill
rigs.
In the
face of such competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or
developing profitable mineral properties, and we cannot give any assurance that
suitable mineral properties will be available for our acquisition, exploration
or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the mineral
exploration industry by:
·
|
keeping
our costs low; and
|
·
|

Legislation
and Government Regulations
Different
Canadian provinces use different procedures to regulate mining activities. For
example, in British Columbia each potential mineral explorer must submit a
permit application for all mechanized surface exploration that includes
information about the mineral title, the operator, the program of work and the
proposed reclamation plan. For minimal surface disturbance in a non-sensitive
area, a letter permit may be issued by a district inspector of the Ministry of
Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (the “Ministry”). If a mechanized work
program is contemplated, the district inspector must participate in a
consultation procedure with other government agencies, following which a permit
may be issued. For exploration in highly sensitive areas, further referrals are
made by the Ministry to, for example, an inter-agency management committee,
other government agencies and public stakeholder groups.
Government
Approvals and Recommendations
We must
comply with the provisions of the Mineral Tenure Act
(British Columbia) (the “Mineral Act”), which establishes rules for locating,
posting and working claims, and for reporting work performed on claims. We must
also comply with the Mineral
Exploration Code (British Columbia) (the “MX Code”) which forms Part 9 of the larger
Mine Health, Safety and
Reclamation Code (British Columbia) (the “HSR Code”), which dictates how
and where we can explore for minerals. As part of the HSR Code, the MX Code is
enabled under Section 34 of the Mines Act
(British Columbia) (the
“Mines Act”). Compliance
with these rules and regulations will not adversely affect our
operations.
In order
to explore for minerals on the Leamington Property we must submit our proposed
exploration program for review. We believe that our exploration program
will be successfully reviewed and that an exploration permit will be issued that
allows us to undertake our planned activities. This exploration permit is the
only permit or license we will require to explore for precious and base minerals
on our mineral claims.
We will
be required to obtain work permits from the Ministry for any exploration work
which results in a physical disturbance to the land. Accordingly, we may be
required to obtain work permits for any exploration work beyond that
contemplated by our exploration program, depending on its complexity and effect
on the environment. The time required to obtain a work permit is
approximately four weeks. We will incur all necessary consultant expenses
required to prepare the permit submissions to the Ministry. We will be
required by the Mines Act to undertake remediation on any work that results in a
physical disturbance to the land. The costs of such remediation will vary
according to the degree of the physical disturbance. No remediation work is
anticipated as a result of the completion of Phase I and Phase II of our
exploration program.
We have
budgeted for regulatory compliance costs associated with our proposed
exploration program. As mentioned above, we must sustain the costs of
reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration and other work we
decide to undertake. We cannot estimate the amount of these costs at this
time since we do not know if, or to what extent, any additional exploration will
be required beyond our planned exploration program. Because we have not
discovered any mineral deposits on our claims, it is impossible to assess the
impact of any capital expenditures on our future earnings or competitive
position.
29
If we
commence any additional exploration, the costs of obtaining permits and
complying with environmental laws will likely be greater than in Phases I and II
of our exploration program because the impact on the Leamington Property will
likely be greater. We may be required to conduct an environmental review
process under the Environmental Assessment Act
(British Columbia) if we decide to proceed with any substantial
exploration. An environmental review is not currently required under the
Environmental Assessment
Act to proceed with Phases I and II of our exploration programs on the
Leamington Property.
We are
also required to pay an annual fee of approximately $2,200 in order to keep the
Leamington Property in good standing with the government of British
Columbia.
Environmental
Law
We are
also subject to the larger HSR Code. This code deals with environmental matters
relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. Its goals are
to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting health and
safety, archaeological sites and exploration access. We are responsible for
providing a safe working environment, not disrupting archaeological sites, and
conducting our activities in a way that prevents unnecessary damage to the
land.
We will
secure all necessary exploration permits and, if we conclude that development is
warranted on any claims, will file final plans of operation before we begin any
mining operations. We do not anticipate discharging water into any active
stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water subject to any
environmental laws or regulations, or disturbing the habitat of any endangered
species’. Restoration of any disturbed land will be completed according to law.
All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandoning the property. It is
difficult to estimate the costs of compliance with environmental laws since the
full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we
begin our exploration program and assess it from an environmental
standpoint.
We are
currently in compliance with the HSR Code and plan to continue complying with
this code. However, compliance with the HSR Code may adversely affect our
business operations in the future.
Exploration
stage companies are not required to comply with environmental matters, except as
they relate to their exploration activities. The only “cost and effect” of
compliance with environmental regulations in British Columbia is returning the
surface of the land to its previous condition upon abandoning the property. We
cannot speculate on those costs in light of our ongoing plans to explore our
claims. When we are ready to begin drilling, we will notify the British Columbia
Chief Inspector of Mines who will require us to put a bond in place to provide
some assurance that the property will eventually be restored to its original
condition.
Costs
and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
We
currently have no costs to comply with environmental laws concerning our
exploration program.
However,
we would have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation
for all work undertaken which causes sufficient surface disturbance to
necessitate reclamation work. Both reclamation and environmental
remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original
state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up
and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits.
Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to a natural state after
completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to
the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental
damage caused, i.e. refilling trenches after sampling or cleaning up fuel
spills.
30
Our
initial programs do not require any reclamation or remediation other than minor
clean up and removal of supplies because of minimal disturbance to the
ground. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not
know the extent of the exploration program we will undertake, beyond completion
of the proposed two phases described above.
Research
and Development
We have
not spent any money on research and development activities since our inception.
However, we anticipate that we will incur approximately $175,000 in exploration
expenses over the next 12 months to carry out the first phase of our exploration
program on the Leamington Property. Other than that, we have no current plans to
spend any money on research and development, but that may change if we are
successful in acquiring new property interests. Our planned expenditures on our
operations and the exploration program are summarized under the “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operation” and
“Description of Property” sections elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Employees
As of the
date of this prospectus, we do not have any full-time or part-time employees.
Guy Brusciano, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer and a director of the Company, works as
a part-time consultant in the areas of management and business development. Guy

History
of Operations
The
previous owner of the Leamington Property completed some preliminary trenching
and rock chip sampling on the claims. We are aware of significant activity in
the geological region known as the “Similkameen granodiorite batholith” in which
the Leamington Property is located. However, we do not have a record
of any other previous operations on the Leamington Property. More details on the
“Similkameen granodiorite batholith” are provided in the “Mineralization”
section below.
Proposed
Exploration Program
We have
not yet commenced any work on the Leamington Property and we have not yet hired
a geologist to prepare a formal report on it. We plan to undertake a two-stage
program on the Leamington Property that is exploratory in nature, and we
anticipate completing both phases in the next two years. However, we may alter
our exploration program after conducting detailed rock chip sampling and
mapping.
Our plan
of exploration for the Leamington Property is as follows:

Mineralization
The
“Similkameen granodiorite batholith” rock formation, in which the Leamington
Property is located, is situated in the Similkameen region located in the south
central Okanagan area of British Columbia. The Similkameen region rock
formations, largely made up of granite-like rock, stand along the U.S.-Canada
border and were likely created about 300 million years ago during the Mesozoic
Era. These formations have a radius of approximately 40 kilometers and have
historically produced metal oxides and carbonates which have been shown to
contain fairly substantial amounts of platinum group metals such as ruthenium,
rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum.
Legal
Proceedings
We are
not aware of any existing, pending or threatened legal proceedings which involve
us or our wholly-owned subsidiary nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any
proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which
any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any
beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse
to our interest or our subsidiary.
Market For Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters
Market
Information
Our
common stock is not traded on any exchange. We intend to apply to have our
common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board once this Prospectus has been
declared effective by the SEC; however, there is no guarantee that we will
obtain a listing.
There is
currently no trading market for our common stock and there is no assurance that
a regular trading market will ever develop. OTC Bulletin Board securities are
not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock
exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted
through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers. OTC Bulletin Board
securities are traditionally those of smaller companies that do not meet the
financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock
exchange.
To have
our common stock listed on any public trading market, including the OTC Bulletin
Board, we will require a market maker to sponsor our securities. If we are
unable to obtain a market maker, we may be unable to develop a trading market
for our common stock. We may be unable to locate a market maker that will agree
to sponsor our securities. Further, even if we secure a market maker, there is
no guarantee that our securities will meet the requirements for quotation or
that our securities will be accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Any of these outcomes could prevent us from developing a trading market for our
common stock.
As of the
date of this prospectus the Company does not have any outstanding option or
warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, common equity of the
Company. Pursuant to the registration statement, the Company is
registering 969,000 shares of common stock.
Holders
As of the
date of this prospectus, there were 49 holders of record of our common
stock.
35
Dividends
To date,
we have not paid dividends on shares of our common stock and we do not expect to
declare or pay dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable
future. The payment of any dividends will depend upon our future earnings, if
any, our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of
Directors.
Equity
Compensation Plans
As of the
date of this prospectus, we did not have any equity compensation
plans.

From
our inception on April 3, 2008, to May 31, 2009, we raised $101,400 through the
issuance of shares of our common stock and received $26,750 for subscriptions
for which shares of our common stock were not issued until after the period
ended. We received additional cash of $80,830 by acquiring the assets of our
wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar Creek Mines Inc., on May 16, 2008, in exchange
for 498,400 shares of our common stock.
For the
year ended May 31, 2008, we spent $51,523 on operating activities and raised
$57,900 from the issuance of shares of our common stock. The increase in cash
for the year ended May 31, 2008, was $87,207, which was generated from the sale
of our common stock and the acquisition of our wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar
Creek Mines Inc.
For
the year ended May 31, 2009, we spent $145,190 on operating activities and
raised $43,500 from the issuance of shares of our common stock, received $26,750
for subscriptions for which shares of our common stock were not issued until
after the period ended and received an advance of $14,139 from a related party.
The decrease in cash for the period ended May 31, 2009, was $60,801, which was
due to our cash requirements for operations outstripping our ability to raise
funds through equity financing.
For the
next 12 months (from the date of this prospectus), we intend to:
·
|
carry
out Phase I of our exploration program on the Leamington
Property;
|
·
|
develop
a website;
|
·
|
complete
private and/or public financing to cover the cost of acquiring interests
in additional mineral properties;
and
|
·
|
retain
a geologist, land specialist and engineer to assist us in developing our
business.

Our
general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of
transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses.
The professional fees are related to our regulatory filings throughout the
year.
Based on
our planned expenditures, we will require funds of approximately $347,200 to
proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. If we secure less than
the full amount of financing that we require, we will not be able to carry out
our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back
business plan tailored to our available financial resources.
We
anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.
Even if we carry out our planned exploration program on the Leamington Property,
there is no guarantee that the property will contain commercially exploitable
mineral resources. Our exploration activities will be directed by Guy Brusciano,
our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal
Accounting Officer, Treasurer and a director of the Company, who will also
supervise our planned acquisition activities and manage our
operations.
We intend
to raise our cash requirements for the next 12 months through the sale of our
equity securities in private placements, through shareholder loans, or possibly
through a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a
broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such
capital-raising efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as
bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to
provide us with financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be
available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. We
intend to negotiate with our management and consultants to pay parts of their
salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash.
39
Even
though we plan to raise capital through equity or debt financing, we believe
that the latter may not be a viable alternative for funding our operations as we
do not have tangible assets to secure any such financing. We anticipate that
additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our
common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot
provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds from the
sale of our common stock to fund our operations or planned exploration
activities. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to acquire
additional mineral properties or carry out a preliminary exploration program on
an acquired property. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to
fund our operations and exploration activities, there is no assurance that we
will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of future
properties following the completion of preliminary exploration. If we do not
continue to obtain additional financing, we may be forced to abandon our
business plan or any property interests in our possession.
Modifications
to our plans will be based on many factors, including the results of our
exploration activities, the assessment of data, weather conditions, exploration
costs, the price of any minerals we discover and available capital. Further, the
extent to which we carry out our exploration activities is dependent upon the
amount of financing available to us.
We may
consider entering into joint ventures or other strategic arrangements to provide
the funding required to pursue the advanced exploration of our current and
future properties. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely
have to assign a percentage of our interest in any project to our joint venture
partner(s). The assignment of this interest would be conditional upon the
contribution of capital by the joint venture partner(s) to enable the advanced
exploration activities on the properties to proceed. There is no guarantee that
any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to
fund the exploration component of any potential project.
Going
Concern
We have
not generated any revenues and are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to
carry out our operations and pursue any acquisition and exploration activities.
If we are unable to raise equity or obtain alternative financing, we may not be
able to continue our operations and our business plan may fail. You may lose
your entire investment.
If our
operations and cash flow improve, we believe that we can continue to operate.
However, no assurance can be given that the actions of our sole executive
officer and a director of the Company will result in profitable operations or an
improvement in our liquidity situation. The threat of our ability to continue as
a going concern will cease to exist only when revenues have reached a level able
to sustain our business operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to our stockholders.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the
estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A
complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our
financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are
of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant
judgment by management.
40
Mineral
Property Costs
Mineral
property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible
or Intangible Assets”, when our management has determined that probable
future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been
identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be
available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted
exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are
expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the
event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of shares of our
common stock, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the
property or the fair value of the shares, whichever is more readily
determinable.
Mineral
property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
When
mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition
payments to be made at our sole discretion, those future payments, whether in
cash or shares, are recorded only when we have made or are obliged to make the
payment or issue the shares. Because option payments do not meet the definition
of tangible property under EITF 04-2, all option payments are expensed as
incurred.
When it
has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a
result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre-feasibility, the
costs incurred to develop such a property are capitalized.
Estimated
future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable, are provided over
the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include
production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each
period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and
technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration
expenses or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and
the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision
amounts as incurred.
As of the
date of these consolidated financial statements, we have incurred only
acquisition and exploration costs which have been expensed.
Foreign
Currency Translation
Our
functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance
with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign
Currency Translation” using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date. Gains and losses arising upon the settlement of foreign currency
denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of
income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian
dollars. We have not, as of the date of this Prospectus, entered into derivative
instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.

Significant
Employees
Other
than as described above, we do not expect any other individuals to make a
significant contribution to our business.
Family
Relationships
There
are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive
officers. However, Matthew Brusciano, our Secretary, is the son of
Guy Brusciano. We do not classify our corporate secretary as an executive
officer position.
Legal
Proceedings
Guy
Brusciano, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Treasurer, Principal Accounting Officer and a director was charged with two
counts of assault with a weapon contrary to section 267(a) of the Canadian
Criminal Code. On December 11, 2008, Guy Brusciano plead guilty at trial to a
single charge of assault with a weapon for which the Provincial Court of British
Columbia adjudged that Guy Brusciano pay CDN $50.00 and receive a suspended
sentence and probation order of eighteen (18) months. This event with Guy
Brusciano does not prevent or impair his ability to serve us in his current
capacity. Except for the foregoing, none of our directors, executive
officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following
events during the past five years:
43
(1)
|

petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was
filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was
appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any

before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association
of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the
time of such filing;
|
(2)
|
was
convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor

affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank,
savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or
continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such
activity;

|
Audit
Committee
The
functions of the audit committee are currently carried out by our Board of
Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit
committee financial expert on our Board of Directors to carry out the duties of
the audit committee. The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of
hiring a financial expert to act as a director and to be a member of the audit
committee or otherwise perform audit committee functions outweighs the benefits
of having a financial expert on our Board of Directors.
44
Code
of Ethics
We have
not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officer, directors and
employees because we have not yet finalized the content of such a code.
Companies whose equity securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board are not
currently required to have adopted a code of ethics. If and when this Prospectus
is declared effective, we will disclose our adoption of a code of ethics in a
current report on Form 8-K.

Company’s two most highly compensated executive officers other than the
PEO who were serving as executive officers at the end of the last
completed fiscal year and whose total compensation exceeds $100,000;

Option
Grants in the Last Fiscal Year
We did

officers or directors from our inception on April 3, 2008, to May 31,
2009.
Management
Agreements
On
April 3, 2008, we entered into a management agreement with Guy Brusciano whereby
we engaged Guy Brusciano as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer and Secretary (Guy
Brusciano subsequently resigned as our Secretary). In exchange for his services,
we agreed to pay Guy Brusciano a monthly salary of $2,500, and to compensate him
with options at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The agreement may be
terminated on two months notice by either us or Guy Brusciano.
Compensation
of Directors
Guy
Brusciano, our sole director from our inception on April 3, 2008, to May 31,
2009, did not receive any compensation for his services as a director. See above
for the compensation Guy Brusciano received in his capacity as an executive
officer of the Company. We have no formal plan for compensating our directors
for their services in the future in their capacity as directors, although we
anticipate that our directors will receive options to purchase shares of our
common stock in the future as awarded by our Board of Directors or a committee
thereof.
Pension,
Retirement or Similar Benefit Plans
There are
no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar
benefits to our directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus or
profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may
be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be
granted at the discretion of our Board of Directors or a committee
thereof.
Compensation
Committee
We do not
currently have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors or a committee
performing similar functions. The Board of Directors as a whole participates in
the consideration of executive officer and director compensation.
Security Ownership of
Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The
following table sets forth the ownership, as of the date of this prospectus, of
our common stock by each of our directors and named executive officers, by all

Changes
in Control
As of the

Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions
On April
4, 2008, we issued 50,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.00001 per share
to West Point Capital Inc. in exchange for cash proceeds of $500. West Point
Capital Inc. is a company over which Guy Brusciano, our President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer,
Treasurer and a director of the Company, has sole voting and investment
control.
On May
28, 2008, we issued 40,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share to Guy
Brusciano, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer and a director of the Company, for cash
proceeds of $10,000.
On
September 4, 2008, we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per
share to Guy Brusciano, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer and a director of the Company,
for cash proceeds of $5,000.
As of
May 31, 2009, we were indebted $14,639 to Guy Brusciano, our President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer,
Treasurer and a director of the Company, for expenditures paid on our behalf.
This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on
demand.
During
the year ended May 31, 2009, we paid Guy Brusciano, our President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer,
Treasurer and a director of the Company, $30,000 for management services
pursuant to a management agreement dated April 3, 2008. Pursuant to
this agreement, Guy Brusciano is to provide management services to the Company
in consideration of $2,500 per month.

Matthew Brusciano, our Secretary, for cash proceeds of $3,000.
On July
3, 2009 we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share to Guy

proceeds of $5,000 and we issued 6,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per
share to Karen Brusciano, Guy Brusciano’s spouse.
Other
than as described above, we have not entered into any transactions with our
officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of

amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded
the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two
fiscal years.
Director
Independence
We intend
to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which does
not have any director independence requirements. However, under the
definition of “independent director” as set forth in the NYSE AMEX Company Guide
Section 8.03.A., we currently have one of our two directors that would qualify
as an independent director under such definition being Anthony William
Howland-Rose. Guy Brusciano is not an independent director under such
definition as he is an executive officer of the Company.
Disclosure of Commission
Position on Indemnification of Securities Act Liabilities
Under our
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws we may indemnify any officer, director,
employee or other person serving us at our request who, because of such person’s
position, is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed civil or
criminal proceeding or investigation, provided that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in our best
interests or if such person had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful. To the extent that the officer, director, employee or other person is
successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which such person is to be
indemnified, we must indemnify such person against all expenses incurred,
including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Indemnification
may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhausting all appeals
there from, to be liable to us or for any amount paid in settlement, unless and
only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view
of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.
48
The
indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of
the State of Delaware. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Company, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors
Cedar
Creek Mines Ltd.
(An
exploration stage company)
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cedar Creek Mines
Ltd. (an exploration stage company) as of May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2009, for the period April 3, 2008
(date of inception) through May 31, 2008 and for the period April 3, 2008 (date
of inception) through May 31, 2009. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Cedar Creek Mines Ltd. (an
exploration stage company) as of May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2009, for the period
April 3, 2008 (date of inception) through May 31, 2008 and for the period April
3, 2008 (date of inception) through May 31, 2009, are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company has no established source of revenue and has incurred an
accumulated loss of $215,028 since inception. This raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards
to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from outcome of this
uncertainty.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
CEDAR
CREEK MINES LTD. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
April 3, 2008. Effective May 16, 2008, the Company acquired all the outstanding
common stock CEDAR CREEK MINES INC. (a British Columbia, Canada corporation).
The acquisition was accounted for pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business
Combinations”.
The
Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting for
Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the
acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently
determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically
recoverable.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated
revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay
dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The
continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued
financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain
necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of
profitable operations. As at May 31, 2009, the Company has accumulated losses of
$215,028 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
a)
|
Basis of
Presentation
|
These
consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are
expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31. In the opinion
of the management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company
.
|
b)
|
Principal of
Consolidation
|
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cedar Creek Mines Ltd.
and Cedar Creek Mines Inc., its 100% owned subsidiary. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
|
c)
|
Use of
Estimates
|
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company
regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated services and
deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and
assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors
that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ
materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are
material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future
results of operations will be affected.
|
d)
|
Comprehensive
Income
|
SFAS No.
130, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the consolidated financial
statements. As at February 28, 2009, the Company has no items that represent a
comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive
loss in the consolidated financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
|
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No.
128,”Earnings per
Share“. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted
earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator)
during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and
convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted
EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of
shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.
Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti
dilutive. At February 28, 2009, the Company has no dilutive potential shares
outstanding.
|
f)
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
|
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or
less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
|
g)
|
Mineral Property
Costs
|
The
Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of
mineral properties.
Mineral
property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible
or Intangible Assets”, when management has determined that probable
future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been
identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be
available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted
exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are
expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the
event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s
shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the
respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more
readily determinable.
Mineral
property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
When
mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition
payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future
payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made
or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. Because option payments
do not meet the definition of tangible property under EITF 04-2, all option
payments are expensed as incurred.
When it
has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a
result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre-feasibility, the
costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.
Estimated
future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over
the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include
production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each
period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and
technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense
or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual
restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as
incurred.
As of the
date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred only
acquisition and exploration costs which have been expensed.

Income
Taxes
|
Potential
benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until
realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109,
“Accounting for Income
Taxes”, as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is
required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward.
Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these
consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is
more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in
future years.

i)
|
Financial
Instruments
|
SFAS No.
157 “Fair Value Measurements” requires an entity to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level
of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair
value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy
is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be
used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1
applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2
applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which
significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or
corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3
applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the
valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value
of the assets or liabilities.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable,
and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, the fair value of
our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that
the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their
current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or
durations.
The
Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks
from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the
Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and
the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use
derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency
risk.

Long-Lived
Assets
|
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests
long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to:
significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse
changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs
significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or
construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined
with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the
use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than
not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful
life.
Recoverability
is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which
is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected
to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as
specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when
the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
|
k)
|
Foreign Currency
Translation
|
The
Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency
Translation”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet
date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated
transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign
currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company
has not, to the date of these consolidated financials statements, entered into
derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.

Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements
|
In April
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP FAS 157-4,
“Determining Fair Value When
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4).
FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and
liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset and liability
has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying
circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, FSP 157-4
requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation
techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation
techniques. FSP 157-4 is effective for financial statements issued in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment” (FSP 115-2/124-2). FSP 115-2/124-2
amends the requirements for the recognition and measurement of
other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the
pre-existing “intent and ability” indicator. Under FSP 115-2/124-2,
other-than-temporary impairment is triggered when there is an intent to sell the
security, it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be
sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover the entire
amortized cost basis of the security. Additionally, FSP 115-2/124-2 changes the
presentation of other-than-temporary impairment in the income statement for
those impairments. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP 107-1/APB 28-1
requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments
that are within the scope of FAS 107, “Disclosures about the Fair Value of
Financial Instruments.” Additionally, FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires
disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes of the
methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 is
effective for financial statements issued beginning in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE

m) Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements (continued)
In the
first quarter of 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) as amended by FASB staff position FSP
141(R)-1, “Accounting for
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise
from Contingencies.” was adopted. SFAS No. 141(R) generally requires an
entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingencies, and
contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. In
circumstances where the acquisition-date fair value for a contingency cannot be
determined during the measurement period and it is concluded that it is probable
that an asset or liability exists as of the acquisition date and the amount can
be reasonably estimated, a contingency is recognized as of the acquisition date
based on the estimated amount. It further requires that acquisition-related
costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred,
restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the
acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation
allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period
impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and
development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its
estimated useful life. SFAS No 141(R) is applicable to business combinations on
a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting,
and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under
the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, “Earnings
per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts – An interpretation of FASB Statement No.
60”. SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise
recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence
that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It
also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance
contracts, including the recognition and measurement under EITF 03-06 to be used
to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded
disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for
consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s
risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the
risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the
first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier
application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of consolidated financial statements of nongovernmental entities
that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected
to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No.
133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for
consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
m) Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements (continued)
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157” (FSP 157-2), which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(SFAS No. 157) for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities,
except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the
first quarter of 2009. SFAS No 157 was adopted for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities – an Amendment of ARB No.
51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events." This standard
incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that
already existed within generally accepted auditing standards, with the
requirements concerning recognition and disclosure of subsequent events
remaining essentially unchanged. This guidance addresses events which occur
after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements.
Under SFAS No.165, as under previous practice, an entity must record the effects
of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the
balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent
events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance
sheet date. This standard added an additional required disclosure relative to
the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is
the date on which the financial statements were issued. For the Company, this standard was effective
beginning April 1, 2009.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140," amending the guidance on
transfers of financial assets to, among other things, eliminate the qualifying
special purpose entity concept, include a new unit of account definition that
must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for
sale accounting, clarify and change the derecognition criteria for a transfer to
be accounted for as a sale, and require significant additional disclosure. For
the Company, this standard is effective for new transfers of financial assets
beginning January 1, 2010. Because the Company historically does not have
significant transfers of financial assets, the adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R)," which revised the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities.
The modifications include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying
special purpose entities, a new approach for determining who should consolidate
a variable-interest entity, and changes to when it is necessary to reassess who
should consolidate a variable-interest entity. For the Company, this standard is
effective January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 162," and approved—the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM
(Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental US GAAP.
The Codification does not change current US GAAP, but is intended to simplify
user access to all authoritative US GAAP by providing all the authoritative
literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting
standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not
included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. For the
Company, the Codification is effective July 1, 2009 and will require future
references to authoritative US GAAP to coincide with the appropriate section of
the Codification. Accordingly, this standard will not have an impact on the
Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.

11 – INCOME TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Income tax expense differs from the amount that would
result from applying the US federal and state income tax rates to earnings
before income taxes. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $238,991 available to offset taxable income in future years which
expires beginning in fiscal 2028. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the potential
benefit of the net operating loss carryforward has not been recognized in the
consolidated financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is
more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future
years.
The
Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an
approximate rate of 35%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at
the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Company's income tax
expense as reported is as follows:

Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from
temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial
reporting and tax purposes. The significant components of deferred income tax
assets and liabilities at May 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

The
Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset
since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such
benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed
annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management's
judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of
the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current
income.

Indemnification of Officers
and Directors
Our
directors and officers are indemnified as provided in the Delaware General
Corporation Law (“DGCL”), our Certificate of Incorporation, filed as Exhibit 3.1
to this Prospectus and pursuant to our Bylaws, filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this
Prospectus.
Delaware
General Corporation Law
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides, among other
things, that:
(a)
|
The
Company has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that the person’s conduct was
unlawful.
|
50
(b)
|
The
Company has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
proper.
|
(c)
|
To
the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Company has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection
therewith.
|
(d)
|
Any
indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) above (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above. Such determination shall be made, with
respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such
determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties
to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2)
by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such
directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such
directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, or (4) by the
stockholders.
|
(e)
|
Expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in
defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this section.
Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and
officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and
conditions, if any, as the Company deems
appropriate.
|
(f)
|
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, section 145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such
person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office.
|
51
(g)
|
The
Company has power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising
out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have
the power to indemnify such person against such liability under section
145 of the DGCL.
|
(h)
|
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, section 145 of the DGCL shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.
|
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our
Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of our directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except:
·
|
for
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders;
|
·
|
for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law;
|
·
|
pursuant
to section 174 of the DGCL regarding unlawful dividends and stock
purchases; or
|
·
|
for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
|
These
provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation are permitted under section 102
of the DGCL.
Our
Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
extent not prohibited by the DGCL.
The
general effect of the foregoing is that we may indemnify our directors, officers
or control persons from liability, thereby making us responsible for any
expenses or damages incurred by such directors, officers or control persons in
any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity,
provided they did not engage in fraudulent or criminal activity.
We have
no directors and officers’ liability insurance at this time. At present, there
is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee
or agent where indemnification would be required or permitted.

July 3, 2009, we issued 42,000 shares of our common stock to three
non-U.S. investors at $0.25 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of
$10,500. Included in this issuance were 20,000 shares issued to Guy
Brusciano, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer and director, for cash
proceeds of $5,000 and 6,000 shares of common stock issued to Karen
Brusciano, the spouse of Guy Brusciano, for proceeds of
$1,500.
|
Other
than as described above, these shares were issued without a prospectus pursuant
to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.
Our
reliance upon Rule 903 of Regulation S was based on the fact that the sales of
the securities were completed in an offshore transaction, as defined in Rule
902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as
defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the
securities. Each offshore investor was not a U.S. person, as defined in
Regulation S, and was not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of
a U.S. person.

Undertakings
We hereby
undertake:
1.
|
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this
Prospectus:
|
|
(i)
|
To
include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
|
|
(ii)
|
To
reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Prospectus (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
Prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Prospectus;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Prospectus or any material change to such
information in the Prospectus.
|
2.
|
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Prospectus
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
|
3.
|
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
|
4.
|
That,
for the purpose of determining our liability under the Securities Act to
any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, we undertake
that in a primary offering of our securities pursuant to this Prospectus,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by
means of any of the following communications, we will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of ours relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
|
|
(ii)
|
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by us or on our
behalf or used or referred to by
us;
|
|
(iii)
|
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about us or our securities provided by us
or on our behalf; and
|
56
|
(iv)
|
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by us to the
purchaser.
|
5.
|
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
|
6.
|
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Act to any purchaser,
each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule
430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
use.
