of Presentation

The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, such information
reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments),
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and Notes thereto together with management’s discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly
state the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2009 and June 30,
2009, the results of its operations for the six-month periods ended December 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008, and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended
December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. In addition, some of the Company’s
statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be considered
forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly
impact expected results. The results of operations for the six-month period
ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full year.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries, Infrastructure Materials Corp. US and Silver Reserve
Corp. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Nature
of Operations
|
On
December 1, 2008, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change
its name from “Silver Reserve Corp.” to “Infrastructure Materials
Corp.”
The
Company’s focus is on the exploration and extraction of limestone, silver and
other metals, if feasible, from its claims in the States of Nevada, Idaho and
Arizona.
The
Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any
revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and
exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are
initially capitalized in accordance with ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced
as the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 04-2. The
Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 930 at each fiscal
quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can
be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable
reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be
capitalized. The Company has determined that all property payments
are impaired and accordingly has written off the acquisition costs to project
expenses. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the
units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable
reserve.
To date,
mineral property exploration costs have been expensed as incurred. To
date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its
mineral properties.
In
November of 2008, the Company expanded its business focus to include the
exploration and, if warranted, development of cement grade limestone properties,
located in the States of Nevada, Idaho and Arizona. The Company
acquired, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Infrastructure Materials Corp US (“IMC
US”), a Nevada Corporation, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Nevada
Agreement”) among the Company, IMC US and Todd D. Montgomery dated as of
November 7, 2008. Mr. Montgomery was the sole shareholder of IMC
US. He also serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a
member of its Board of Directors. The
Nevada Agreement was approved by the disinterested members of the Company’s
Board of Directors on November 6, 2008. Under the terms of the Nevada
Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of IMC
US in exchange for 397,024 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares” or a
“Share”) at the agreed price of $0.50 per Share. The transaction was
measured at fair value, being the market value of the equity instruments
delivered on the transaction date. The fair value of the Company’s 397,024
Shares issued at closing was measured at $31,762.

IMC US
controls ten limestone Projects in Nevada, made up of 1,095 mineral claims
covering 22,623 acres. IMC US has leased 100% of the Mineral Rights on an
additional 1,120 acres and 50% of the Mineral Rights on 6,740 acres. In addition
IMC US controls one limestone project in Idaho consisting of 63 mineral claims
covering 1,302 acres.. The Company does not consider the claims or
mineral rights to be material at this time and has expensed this cost to project
expense. The Company’s assessment of the claims and mineral rights
may change after exploration of the claims.
On
December 18, 2008, the Company incorporated a second wholly owned subsidiary in
the State of Delaware under its former name, “Silver Reserve Corp.” (”SRC”). The
Company assigned all fourteen of its silver/base metal projects in Nevada to
this subsidiary. The fourteen claim groups contain 556 claims covering 11,487
acres which include 9 patented claims and 2 leased patented
claims.
SRC also
has a milling facility located in Mina, Nevada on six claims covering
124 acres.

Convertible
Debentures

During
the years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the Company issued convertible
debentures for $1,020,862 and $2,480,205 respectively, for a total of
$3,501,067. During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, all holders
of the Company’s convertible debentures exercised their conversion rights.
Under the terms of the convertible debentures, the holders converted the
principal amount of their convertible debentures into “units” at $0.50 per unit,
where each unit consisted of one Share and one warrant to purchase a Share
at a purchase price of $0.75 per Share. An aggregate of 7,002,134
Shares and an aggregate of 7,002,134 Share purchase warrants were issued upon
conversion of the principal amount.
The
convertible debentures had a maturity of December 31, 2007 and an interest rate
of 2% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debentures,
the Company had the option of paying interest in Shares or in
cash. The Company elected to pay interest in Shares, which were
restricted upon issuance. An aggregate of 184,596 Shares were issued
upon the conversion of the convertible debentures as payment of interest
converted at one Share for each $0.49 of interest. The Shares issued upon
conversion of the convertible debentures and the Shares underlying the warrants
were subject to “lock-up” agreements limiting the re-sale of the Shares
following exercise. All such restrictions have expired. All of these
Shares and Shares underlying the warrants were registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in a registration statement that
became effective on April 24, 2007.

Stock
Based Compensation
|
In April
of 2006, the Board of Directors approved an employee stock option plan ("2006
Stock Option Plan"), the purpose of which is to enhance the Company's
stockholder value and financial performance by attracting, retaining and
motivating the Company's officers, directors, key employees, consultants and its
affiliates and to encourage stock ownership by such individuals by providing
them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company's success
through stock ownership.
Under the
2006 Stock Option Plan, officers, directors, employees and consultants who
provide services to the Company may be granted options to acquire Shares of the
Company at the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant. Options may have a term of up to 10 years. The
total number of Shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Option Plan is
5,000,000.

Six month period ended December 31, 2009
On
September 14, 2009, the Company terminated its consulting services agreement
with a consultant effective as of October 15, 2009 and agreed to extend the
expiry of his options from his termination date to October 15,
2010.
On
October 23, 2009, the Company granted options to a consultant to purchase 25,000
common shares at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. These options were
granted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan and
vest at the rate of 1/3 each month until fully vested. The options granted have
a term of 5 years.
For the
six month period ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized in the
financial statements, stock-based compensation costs as reflected in the
following table. The fair value of each option used for the purpose of
estimating the stock compensation is based on the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions.
The
expected term calculation is based upon the term the option is expected to be
held, which is the full term of the option. The risk-free interest
rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for an
instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the
stock options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that
we have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we have no present
intention to pay cash dividends. The expected forfeiture rate of 0%
is based on the vesting of stock options in a short period of time.

FOR
THE SIX MONTH AND THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009
PLAN OF
OPERATIONS
We will
require additional capital to implement the further exploration and possible
development of our claim groups. We expect to raise this capital
through private placements of our securities or through debt
financing or some combination of the foregoing. We have limited
assets and no “reserves” in accordance with the definitions adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and there is no assurance that any
exploration programs that we undertake will establish reserves.
Discussion
of Operations and Financial Condition
Six
Month and Three Month Periods ended December 31, 2009
The
Company has no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a
loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we
remain in an exploration stage and perhaps thereafter. As at December
31, 2009, we had accumulated losses since the Company’s inception of
$14,719,529. Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage and
conduct mining operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising
additional capital. We are continuing our efforts to raise capital
and are moving forward with development of our projects.

In
November of 2008, the Company substantially changed its business focus to the
exploration and development of cement grade limestone properties and acquired
Infrastructure Materials Corp. US with limestone properties located in the
states of Nevada and Idaho. In December of 2008, the
Company changed its name to Infrastructure Materials Corp. We have
identified and recorded 1,295 claims on Department of Interior Bureau of Land
Management (“BLM”) land covering twelve projects in Nevada
and 63 claims covering one project in Idaho. We have
applied to the State of Arizona for leases on 18 sections or portions of
sections covering two additional projects. On private land we acquired
100% of the Mineral Rights on 1,120 acres, 50% of the Mineral Rights on 7,080
acres, all of which have potential for cement grade
limestone. Exploration on these limestone properties indicates that
the Morgan Hill Project and the Blue Nose Project have potential for development
of substantial cement grade limestone resources. Our efforts going
forward through our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, will be
concentrated on development of the Blue Nose Project and the search for other
limestone deposits in strategic locations that can service areas with a shortage
of cement production.
The
Company’s major endeavor during the six months ended December 31, 2009 has been
its effort to pursue exploration activities on its limestone
claims. We have also completed the evaluation of all our silver/base
metal projects and determined that the Pansy Lee, Medicine, Silver Queen and
Nivloc Projects provide the best opportunity for development of resources that
could go to production. Permitting of the Red Rock mill site at Mina, Nevada is
close to completion. The Company transferred incorporated a wholly
owned subsidiary, Silver reserve Corp in December of 2008 and transferred all of
the silver/base metal projects and the mill the this subsidiary. We are
attempting to secure a sale of its silver properties and milling facility held
by its subsidiary, Silver Reserve Corp.
The
following diagram illustrates the Company’s present structure and ownership of
its mineral properties and Milling Facility:

Revenues
No
revenue was generated by the Company’s operations during the three-month and
six-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008.
Net
Loss
The
Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any
revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the
acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition
costs are initially capitalized when incurred in accordance with ASC
805-20-55-37, previously referenced as the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") Issue 04-2. The Company assesses the carrying costs for
impairment under ASC 930 at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been
determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of
establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such
property will be capitalized. The Company has determined that all
property payments are impaired and accordingly has written off the acquisition
costs to project expenses. Once capitalized, such costs will be
amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the
probable reserve.
- 27
-
To date,
mineral property exploration costs have been expensed as incurred. To
date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its
mineral properties.
The
Company’s expenses are reflected in the Statements of Operation under the
category of Operating Expenses.
The
significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating
expense are discussed as follows:
(a) General and Administrative
Expense
Included
in operating expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 is
general and administrative expense of $429,114, as compared with $1,116,784 for
the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. During the six-month period
ended December 31, 2009 the general and administrative expense was $878,310, as
compared to $1,851,144 for the six month period ended December 31, 2008. General
and administrative expense represents approximately 38% of the total operating
expense for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and approximately 59%
of the total operating expense for the six-month period ended December 31, 2008.
General and administrative expense represents professional, consulting, office
and general and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the six-month and
three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. General and
administrative expense decreased by $972,834 in the current six month period, as
compared to the similar six month period for the prior year. The decrease in
this expense is mainly due to a decrease in consulting fees of $461,000, and a
decrease in stock based compensation costs of $427,290.
(b) Project
Expense
Included
in operating expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 is
project expense of $561,082 as compared with $565,506 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2008. During the six month period ended December 31, 2009,
the project expense was $1,346,853 as compared to $1,197,178 during the six
month period ended December 31, 2008. Project expense is a significant expense
and it represents approximately 58% of the total operating expense for the
six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and approximately 38% of the total
operating expense for the six-month period ended December 31,
2008.

Obligations and Commercial Commitments
On August
1, 2006, the Company acquired the Pansy Lee Claims from Anglo Gold Mining Inc.
in exchange for 1,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The
Company’s interest was acquired pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated

Lee Purchase Agreement, in the event that any one or more claims becomes a
producing claim, the Company’s revenue is subject to a 2% net smelter return
royalty where net smelter returns are based upon gross revenue. Gross
revenue would be calculated after commercial production commences and includes
the aggregate of the following amounts: revenue received by the Company from
arm’s length purchasers of all mineral products produced from the property, the
fair market value of all products sold by the Company to persons not dealing
with the Company at arms length and the Company’s share of the proceeds of
insurance on products. From such revenue, the Company would be permitted
to deduct: sales charges levied by any sales agent on the sale of
products; transportation costs for products; all costs, expenses and charges of
any nature whatsoever which are either paid or incurred by the Company in
connection with the refinement and beneficiation of products after leaving the
property and all insurance costs and taxes.
On
September 14, 2007 the Company accepted a proposal from Lumos & Associates

Nevada. The total consideration to be paid under the contract is
approximately $350,000. The permitting process is being carried out
in twelve stages. The completion date has not been determined. The Company is
required to authorize in writing each stage of the work before the work
proceeds. As at December 31, 2009, the Company had authorized and paid Lumos and
Associates $301,767 (June 30, 2009 - $134,181).
On April
4, 2008, the Company entered into a Consultant Agreement with Lumos and
Associates, to facilitate the completion of exploration drilling “Notices of

priced separately. During the six months ended December 31, 2009 the Company did
not incur any costs for Notices of Intent. A Plan of Operation for the Blue Nose
Project is projected to cost $10,000.

On May
20, 2008, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”)
with Nevada Eagle Resources, LLC and Steve Sutherland (together, the
“Optionees”) effective as of May 1, 2008 (the “Date of Closing”), to acquire 25
mineral claims located in Elko County, Nevada and known as the “Medicine
Claims.” During the term of the Option Agreement, the Company has the exclusive
right to explore and develop, if warranted, the Medicine Claims. The
Company paid $10,000 to the Optionees upon execution of the Option Agreement.
The Option Agreement requires the Company to make additional payments as
follows: $15,000 on the first anniversary of the Date of Closing, $30,000 on the
second anniversary of the Date of Closing, $60,000 on the third anniversary of
the Date of Closing and $80,000 on each anniversary of the Date of Closing
thereafter until the tenth anniversary of the Date of Closing. The Optionees may
elect to receive payment in cash or in Shares. Upon making the final payment on
the tenth anniversary of the Date of Closing, the Company will have earned a
100% undivided interest in the Medicine Claims. On April 7, 2009, the Company
and the Optionees amended the Option Agreement. This amendment reduced the
option payment due on May 1, 2009 from $15,000 to $10,000 and increased the
payment due May 1, 2010 from $30,000 to $35,000.
Pursuant
to the Option Agreement, the Medicine Claims are subject to a 3% net smelter
return (“NSR”) royalty payable to the Optionees. The payments made during
the term of the Option Agreement are to be applied as advance NSR royalty
payments. Beginning on the eleventh anniversary of the Date of Closing, the
Company is required to make annual advance royalty payments of $80,000. At such
time as the Medicine Claims are in production, if ever, the Company shall make
annual royalty payments equal to the greater of the actual 3% NSR or $80,000.
The Company may terminate the Option Agreement at any time before the
option is fully exercised upon 60 days notice to the Optionees. The Company
does not consider the Medicine Claims to be material assets at this time;
however this assessment may change upon further exploration.
Effective
as of June 23, 2008, the Company appointed Mason Douglas as the President of the
Company. Mr. Douglas is also a director of the Company. In connection with the
appointment, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with a

In
November 2009, the Company made a decision to expand its area of exploration to
include cement grade limestone properties located in Manitoba,
Canada. The Company entered into an agreement to acquire, as a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Canadian Infrastructure Corp. (“CIC”), a Canadian
corporation, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) between
the Company, CIC and Todd D. Montgomery dated as of December 15, 2009. Mr.
Montgomery is the sole shareholder of CIC and serves as the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and as a member of its Board of Directors. The
Agreement was approved by the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of
Directors on November 27, 2009. Under the terms of the Agreement, the
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of CIC in exchange for
1,021,777 Shares at the agreed upon price of $0.40 per Share. The
total price of $408,710.90 represented Mr. Montgomery’s cost of
forming CIC, assembling the limestone properties and obtaining exploration work
and reports on the properties. The purchase price was significantly
below an independent valuation. The Agreement was initially expected
to close on January 1, 2010, but was extended by an addendum dated January 14,
2010 and closed on February 9, 2010. The transaction will be measured at
the fair value, being the market value of the Shares on the date of the
Share Exchange Agreement, which was $0.20 per Share. CIC controls 94
quarry leases issued by the Province of Manitoba, Canada, covering 6,090.052
hectares (15,048,846 acres) requiring annual rental payments
of $143,465 (CAD $150,782).

By letter
dated November 27, 2009, the U.S. Attorney’s Office asked for contribution from
the Company for the cost of putting out a fire that occurred on May 8, 2008 on
approximately 451 acres of land owned by the BLM. The cost of putting
out the fire and rehabilitating the burned area was approximately
$550,000. The Company has denied any responsibility for the fire and
has alerted its liability insurance carrier. The Company has not accrued any
costs for this claim in its financial statements.
Cash
Requirements
At
December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $183,394,
short-term investments of $1,534,147 and prepaid expenses of $191,191 for total current assets
of $1,908,732.
Our
ability to incur planned Project expenses is subject to permitting programs with
the BLM and results of the drilling as it progresses. The Company has
no firm commitment for additional financing and may not be able to incur planned
Project expenses unless further capital is raised.
The
Company hopes to be able to sell part or all of its precious and base metal
projects and its Red Rock Mill or its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Reserve
Corp., that controls these assets, and use the proceeds for exploration and
drilling on the Company’s limestone projects.
Subsequent
Events
The
Company has reviewed subsequent events up to February 12, 2010. Subsequent
events are as follows.
On
January 12, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Railroad Industries
Incorporated to prepare a market analysis for calcium carbonate, quicklime and
other materials marketable from high grade limestone deposits for the regions of
Central Canada and Western Unites States. The cost of the study is
estimated to be between $28,875 and $39,900, depending on the number of hours
required. The Company paid a $5,000 refundable deposit upon execution of
the contract to be applied to the final invoice.

On
January 15, 2010, Roger M. Hall resigned as Chief Operating Officer and as a
member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Subsequently, Mr. Hall
resigned as the Vice President – Exploration of IMC US. As of January
15, 2010, the Company terminated its Independent Contractor Agreement dated
April 1, 2007. Both parties waived any applicable notice periods and
the termination was effective immediately. As consideration for his
services, options previously granted to Mr. Hall were extended and will expire
as follows: 200,000 options to acquire Shares at $0.15 per Share will expire on
April 15, 2010; 200,000 options to acquire Shares at $0.15 per Share will expire
on December 10, 2013 and 250,000 to acquire Shares at $0.30 per Share will
expire on April 9, 2012. There were no disagreements between Mr. Hall
and the Company with respect to the Company’s management, policies, procedures,
internal controls or public disclosure documents.
On
January 15, 2010, the Company entered into an “Independent Contractor Agreement”
with a Karl Frost. Mr. Frost was given the title of “Chief Geologist”
and will be responsible for the preparation and oversight of all geological
programs and activities. The Independent Contractor Agreement
has a term of one year and is automatically renewable thereafter. Either party
may terminate the agreement upon 60 days notice or in the case of breach or
default with 5 days of written notice. During the term of the
agreement the Company will pay Mr. Frost a fee of $12,500 per month and
reimburse him related business expenses. In addition, during the first term of
this agreement, the Company granted Mr. Frost an option to purchase 250,000
common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per
share. These options were granted in accordance with the terms of the
Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan and vest at the rate of 1/12 each month until
fully vested. The options granted have a term of 5 years.
On
January 15, 2010 the Company entered into a Property Lease Agreement (the “Lease
Agreement”) with the Eugene M. Hammond to lease the surface rights on 80
acres of vacant land located in Elko County, Nevada. The term of the
Lease Agreement is five years with an option in favor of IMC US to purchase the
property. IMC US will pay rent of $500 on the anniversary date for so long as
this Lease is in effect.
On
January 15, 2010, the company entered into a Mineral Rights Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) with Eugene M. Hammond. to purchase 25% of the
mineral rights, including all easements, rights of way and appurtenant rights of
any type that run with the mineral rights on 80 acres of vacant land in certain
sections of Elko County, Nevada (the “Property”). The purchase price
was $10 per net acre for a total purchase price of $200.
Eugene M.
Hammond will be entitled to receive a royalty of $0.125 per ton for material
mined and removed from the Property. Material mined and stored on the Property
or adjacent property for reclamation purposes will not be subject to any
royalty. Material removed from the Property for the purposes of testing or bulk
sampling, provided it does not exceed 50,000 tons, will also not be subject to
any royalty. The royalty will be calculated and paid within 45 days
after the end of each calendar quarter.
Two
additional projects with 200 mineral claims in Elko County, Nevada were
recorded. IMC US submitted applications to the State of Arizona for leases
on 18 sections or portions of sections.

4T. Controls and Procedures
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Based on
an evaluation, conducted by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), they
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2009, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are:
1.
|
recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by
the SEC's rules and forms, and
|
2.
|
accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
|
Management
of Infrastructure Materials Corp. is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's
principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the
company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and includes those
policies and procedures that:
*
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company;
*
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
*
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.
- 36
-
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent
limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over
financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known
features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is
possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce this risk.
In making
this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework.
Inherent
in small business is the pervasive problem of segregation of
duties. Given that the Company has a small accounting department,
segregation of duties cannot be completely accomplished at this stage in the
corporate lifecycle. Management has added many compensating controls
to effectively reduce and minimize the risk of a material misstatement in the
Company’s financial statements.
Based on
its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting is effective based
on those criteria.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2009, there have been no changes to the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

PART
II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
The
Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding or litigation and none of
the Company’s property is the subject of a pending legal
proceeding.
ITEM
1A: RISK FACTORS:
The
following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows. These risk factors should be
considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements because
they could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement. The risk factors highlighted below are not the
only ones we face. If any of these events actually occur, our business,
financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be negatively
affected.
1.
|
THE
COMPANY HAS NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECTS TO INCUR
SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF IT IS
ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT
ALL.
|
Currently,
the Company has no source of revenue, limited working capital and no commitments
to obtain additional financing. The Company will require additional
working capital to carry out its exploration programs. The Company
has no operating history upon which an evaluation of its future success or
failure can be made. The ability to achieve and maintain
profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
|
-
|
further
exploration of our properties and the results of that
exploration.
|
|
-
|
raising
the capital necessary to conduct this exploration and preserve the
Company’s Properties.
|
|
-
|
raising
capital to develop our properties, establish a mining operation, and
operate this mine in a profitable manner if any of these activities are
warranted by the results of our exploration programs and a feasibility
study.
|
Because
the Company has no operating revenue, it expects to incur operating losses in
future periods as it continues to spend funds to explore its
properties. Failure to raise the necessary capital to continue
exploration could cause the Company to go out of business.
- 38
-
2.
|
WE
WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO COMPLETE FURTHER
EXPLORATION
|
We will
require significant additional financing in order to continue our exploration
activities and our assessment of the commercial viability of our properties.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to
raise these require funds, or on terms satisfactory to us. The continued
exploration of current and future mineral properties and the development of our
business will depend upon our ability to establish the commercial viability of
our properties and to ultimately develop cash flow from operations and reach
profitable operations. We currently are in an exploration stage and we have no
revenue from operations and we are experiencing significant cash outflow from
operating activities. If we are unable to obtain additional
financing, we will not be able to continue our exploration activities and our
assessment of the commercial viability of our precious metal and mineral
properties.
3.
|
WE
HAVE NO RESERVES AND WE MAY FIND THAT OUR PROPERTIES ARE NOT COMMERCIALLY
VIABLE
|
Our
properties do not contain reserves in accordance with the definitions adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and there is no assurance that any
exploration programs that we undertake will establish reserves. All of our
mineral properties are in the exploration stage as opposed to the development
stage and have no known body of economic mineralization. The known
mineralization at these projects has not yet been determined, and may never be
determined to be economic. We plan to conduct further exploration activities on
our properties, which future exploration may include the completion of
feasibility studies necessary to evaluate whether a commercial mineable mineral
exists on any of our properties. There is a substantial risk that these
exploration activities will not result in discoveries of commercially
recoverable quantities of minerals. Any determination that our properties
contain commercially recoverable quantities of minerals may not be reached until
such time that final comprehensive feasibility studies have been concluded that
establish that a potential mine is likely to be economic. There is a substantial
risk that any preliminary or final feasibility studies carried out by us will
not result in a positive determination that our mineral properties can be
commercially developed.
4.
|
OUR
BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING
HISTORY.
|
In
considering whether to invest in our common stock since there is only limited
historical financial and operating information available on which to base your
evaluation of our performance. In addition, we have only recently
acquired our primary minerals exploration properties.
5.
|
WE
HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES WE WILL
BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.
|
We have a
history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, and may never
be profitable. Further, we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities
and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We have incurred losses
totaling approximately $14,719,529 from inception to December 31, 2009. As
of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,719,529 and incurred
losses of approximately $2,289,880 during the six month period ended December
31, 2009. Further, we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in
the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will
not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be
required in the event that: (i) the costs to acquire additional mineral
exploration claims are more than we currently anticipate; or (ii) exploration
and or future potential mining costs for additional claims increase beyond our
expectations.

-
6.
|
THE
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT AND, IF APPLICABLE,
MINING COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, ENVIRONMENT DAMAGE, DELAYS IN
MINING, MONETARY LOSSES AND POSSIBLE LEGAL
LIABILITY.
|
We are
not currently engaged in mining operations because we are in the exploration
phase and have not yet any proved minerals reserves. We do not presently
carry property and liability insurance. Cost effective insurance contains
exclusions and limitations on coverage and may be unavailable in some
circumstances.
7.
|
BECAUSE
OF THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN MINERAL
EXPLORATION VENTURES AND CURRENT DETERIORATION IN EQUITY MARKETS, WE FACE
A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
|
Investors
should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral
exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. Our prospects are further complicated by a pronounced
deterioration in equity markets and constriction in equity capital available to
finance and maintain our exploration activities. Our likelihood of
success 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 and the difficult economy and
market volatility that we are experiencing. Moreover, most
exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercial mineable
deposits.
8. OUR
BUSINESS IS AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN COMMODITY PRICES.
Our
ability to develop our properties and the future profitability of those
operations is directly related to the market price of certain minerals such as
silver and limestone as well as the price and availability of
cement. The Company is negatively affected by the current decline in
commodity prices
9.
|
THE
COMPANY COULD ENCOUNTER REGULATORY AND PERMITTING
DELAYS.
|
The
Company could face delays in obtaining permits to operate on the property
covered by the claims. Such delays could jeopardize financing, if any
is available, which could result in having to delay or abandon work on some or
all of the properties.
- 40
-
10.
|
THERE
ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR
ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
|
Our
common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will
be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take
steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a
result, the market for our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in
the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your
shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your
shares.
11.
|
CURRENT
LEVELS OF MARKET VOLATILITY COULD HAVE ADVERSE
IMPACTS
|
The
capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption. If
the current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there
can be no assurance that the Company will not experience adverse effects, which
may be material. These effects may include, but are not limited to, difficulties
in raising additional capital or debt and a smaller pool of investors and
funding sources. There is thus no assurance the Company will have access to the
equity capital markets to obtain financing when necessary or
desirable.
12.
|
MINING
OPERATIONS IN GENERAL INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, WHICH WE MAY BE
UNABLE, OR MAY NOT CHOOSE TO INSURE AGAINST, MAKING EXPLORATION AND/OR
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES WE MAY PURSUE SUBJECT TO POTENTIAL LEGAL LIABILITY
FOR CERTAIN CLAIMS.
|
Our
operations are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally encountered in
the exploration, development and production of minerals. These include unusual
and unexpected geological formations, rock falls, flooding and other conditions
involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in
damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to
life or property, environmental damage and possible legal
liability. Although we plan to take adequate precautions to minimize
these risks, and risks associated with equipment failure or failure of retaining
dams which may result in environmental pollution, there can be no assurance that
even with our precautions, damage or loss will not occur and that we will not be
subject to liability which will have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operation and financial condition.

EXPLORATION VENTURES, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS
FAILURE.

Stockholders
should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral
exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. The likelihood of success 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. Most exploration projects
do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable
deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other
conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful
exploration efforts.

therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable

UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS:

On
September 21, 2007, the Company issued 1,500,000 Shares to each of two
consultants, for a total of 3,000,000 Shares valued at
$2,250,000. The Shares issued to the consultants are considered
“restricted” securities and cannot be resold unless an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act is available, such as the exemption afford
by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
The
convertible debentures issued in the fiscal years of 2006 and 2007 had a
maturity date of December 31, 2007 and an interest rate of 2% per
annum. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debentures, the
Company had the option of paying interest in Shares or in cash. The
Company elected to pay interest in Shares, which were restricted upon
issuance. An aggregate of 184,596 Shares were issued upon the
conversion of the convertible debentures as payment of interest.
On August
22, 2008, the Company completed private placements of 7,040,000 “Units” at $0.50
per Unit from accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act. Each one Unit consists of one
Share and one half of a Share purchase warrant. Each full warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one Share at $0.75 on or before September 1,
2010. The private placement was exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to an exemption afforded by Regulation S. All
of the investors were non-U.S. Persons as that term is defined under Regulation
S and executed subscription agreements containing the representations and
covenants required for the exemption under Regulation S. The Company
used the proceeds for exploration expenses and general operating
capital. The Company paid a commission of $147,000 and issued 294,000
broker warrants to purchase Units at $0.50 per Unit in connection with the
private placement. These Units have the same terms as those sold to
investors. The broker warrants expire on September 1,
2010. None of the Shares or shares underlying the warrants or broker
warrants were registered. During the year ended June 30, 2009,
2,820,000 warrants were exercised at $0.25. The Company received
$705,000 for 2,820,000 restricted Shares.
On
November 7, 2008 the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement with the
Company’s CEO to acquire all of the outstanding shares of IMC US for
consideration of 397,024 Shares of the Company. The transaction was
