SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The
following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”) and in other
reports and documents published by us from time to time. Any statements about
our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions, future events or
performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These
statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases
such as “believes,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,”
“is anticipated,” “estimated,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” and the
like, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). However, as we issue
“penny stock,” as such term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the
Exchange Act, we are ineligible to rely on these safe harbor provisions. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
our Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given
these uncertainties, readers are cautioned to carefully read all “Risk Factors”
set forth under Item 1A and not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to announce
publicly the results of any revisions of the forward-looking statements
contained or incorporated by reference herein to reflect future events or
developments, except as required by the Exchange Act. New factors emerge from
time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise or to
assess with any precision the impact of each factor on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements.
Unless
otherwise provided in this Report, references to the “Company,” the
“Registrant,” the “Issuer,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ardent Mines
Limited.

ITEM
1. BUSINESS
General
We were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 27, 2000. We are presently engaged
in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. The
Company’s address is 100 Wall Street, 21st Floor,
New York, NY 10005. The Company’s telephone number is (561)
989-3200.
Background
In August
2000, we acquired the right to prospect one mineral property containing eight
mining claims located on Copperkettle Creek in British Columbia,
Canada. We have allowed these claims to lapse. From August
26, 2006 to December 11, 2006, we did not conduct any
operations. During that period, we intended to identify an
acquisition or merger candidate with ongoing operations in any
field. However in December 2006 we decided to acquire the right to
explore a new property in British Columbia and returned to the business of
mineral exploration. On April 30, 2009, the Company decided not to renew certain
claims due to a lack of capital. As of the end of the period covered by this
Report, the Company had one claim, the GRN claim.
The
Company’s Current Business Operations
To date
we have not performed any work on developing the GRN Claim, and we no longer
plan to pursue such development. As of the end of the period covered by this
Report, we were in the exploration stage and had not determined whether any
commercially viable mineral deposit exists in the
property. Further exploration would be required to determine the
economic and legal feasibility of pursuing such project. Subsequent to the end
of the period covered by this Report, the Company has determined to pursue other
mining development opportunities. Subsequent to the end of the period
covered by this Report, the Company has retained a new Chief Executive Officer,
Leonardo Riera, and a new Chief Financial Officer, Luis Feliu.
Employees
As of the
end of the period covered by this Report, we had no full-time
employees. We had one officer and director who was a part-time
employee and devoted about 10% of his time or four hours per week to our
operation. On August 25, 2010 Mr. Urmas Turu resigned as the
President of the Company. He shall remain a member of the Company’s
Board of Directors and as the Company’s Secretary and Treasurer until qualified
replacements are appointed. Effective as of August 25, 2010, Mr. Leonardo
Alberto Riera has been appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors
and as the President of the Company. Effective as of September 2,
2010, Mr. Luis Feliu has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the
Company. Mr. Riera and Mr. Feliu will both devote the majority of
their time to the Company’s operations.
Where
You Can Find More Information
The
Company is a “voluntary reporting company.” We expect to continue to file
annual, quarterly and other requisite filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Members of the public may read and
copy any materials which we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room
at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Members of the public
may obtain additional information on the operation of the Public Reference Room
by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an internet site
that contains reports, proxy and information statements, as well as other
information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. This site
is located at http://www.sec.gov.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
An
investment in our Company involves a risk of loss. You should carefully consider
the risks described below, before you make any investment decision regarding our
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business. If any
such risks actually materialize, our business, financial condition and operating
results could be adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline.
We
have not yet commenced revenue generating operations under our business model
and we have no past performance which can serve as an indicator of our future
potential.
We are
presently developing a new business model to pursue mining operations. We have
been developing our business plan and growing our team, but as of the date of
this Report we have not yet implemented our plans. Our most recent
financial statements will therefore not provide sufficient information to assess
our future prospects. Our likelihood of success must be considered in
light of all of the risks, expenses and delays inherent in establishing a new
business, including, but not limited to unforeseen expenses, complications and
delays, established competitors and other factors.
Our
Auditors have issued an opinion expressing uncertainty regarding our ability to
continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue
operations, investors could lose their entire investment in our
company.
We have a
history of operating losses, and may continue to incur operating losses for the
foreseeable future. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Our auditors issued an opinion in their audit
report dated September 27, 2010 expressing uncertainty about our ability to
continue as a going concern. This means that there is substantial doubt whether
we can continue as an ongoing business without additional financing and/or
generating profits from our operations. If we are unable to continue
as a going concern and our Company fails, investors in our Company could lose
their entire investment.
We
need to raise additional capital which may not be available to us or might not
be available on favorable terms.
We will
need additional funds to implement our business plan as our business model
requires significant capital expenditures. We will need substantially more
capital to execute our business plan. Our future capital requirements will
depend on a number of factors, including our ability to grow our revenues and
manage our business. Our growth will depend upon our ability to raise additional
capital, possibly through the issuance of long-term or short-term indebtedness
or the issuance of our equity securities in private or public transactions. If
we are successful in raising equity capital, because of the number and
variability of factors that will determine our use of the capital, our ultimate
use of the proceeds may vary substantially from our current plans.
We
were incorporated in July 2000 and have yet to generate any
revenues. We have losses which we expect to continue into the
future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We were
incorporated on July 27, 2000, and have not realized any revenues. We were
unsuccessful in located mineralized material on our first property and used all
of our money on the exploration of the first property. Our operating
history is one of failure. Our net loss since inception is
approximately $506,981. To achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash
flow we are dependent upon our ability to locate a profitable mineral
property, our ability to generate revenues and our ability to reduce exploration
costs.
Based
upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This
will happen because there are expenses associated with the exploration of our
mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the
future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease
operations.
5
Our management does not have
technical training or experience in exploring for, starting, and operating an
exploration program, we will have to hire qualified personnel. If we cannot
locate qualified personnel, we may have to suspend or cease
operations.
Because
our management is inexperienced with exploring for, starting, and operating an
exploration program, we will have to hire qualified persons to perform
surveying, exploration, and excavation of the property. Our management has no
direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully
aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the
industry. Management decisions and choices may not take into account standard
engineering or managerial approaches, mineral exploration companies commonly
use. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could
suffer irreparable harm due to management lack of experience in this industry.
As a result we may have to suspend or cease operations.
Indebtedness
may burden us with high interest payments and highly restrictive terms which
could adversely affect our business.
As a
matter of Company policy, our financial plans will limit our debt exposure to a
reasonable level. However, a significant amount of indebtedness could increase
the possibility that we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to service
the payments on indebtedness, when due, including principal, interest and other
amounts.
We
may be exposed to tax audits.
Our U.S.
federal and state tax returns may be audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service (the “IRS”). An audit may result in the challenge and disallowance of
deductions claimed by us. Further, an audit could lead to an audit of one or
more of our investors and ultimately result in attempts to adjust investors’ tax
returns with respect to items unrelated to us. We are unable to
guarantee the deductibility of any item that we acquire. We will
claim all deductions for federal and state income tax purposes which we
reasonably believe that we are entitled to claim. In particular, we will elect
to treat as an expense for tax purposes all interest, management fees, taxes and
insurance. The IRS may disallow any of the various elements used in calculating
our expenses, thereby reducing federal income tax benefits of an investment. To
the extent that any challenge or disallowance is raised in connection with a tax
return filed by an individual shareholder, the cost of any audit and/or
litigation resulting there from would be born solely by the affected
shareholder. In the event the IRS should disallow any of our deductions, the
directors, in their sole discretion, will decide whether to contest such
disallowance. No assurance can be given that in the event of such a contest the
deductions would be sustained by the courts. If the disallowance of any
deductions results in an underpayment of tax, investors could also be
responsible for interest on the underpayments.
Because
we intend to conduct our mineral exploration and development activities outside
of the United States, we will be required to get approvals from foreign national
and local governments.
The
Company intends to pursue projects outside of the United States, which may
require us to seek the approval of various foreign
governments. Seeking such approvals may be expensive, complex, time
consuming and uncertain.
We
do not anticipate paying cash dividends.
We do not
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain
any cash flow we generate for investment in our business. Accordingly, our
common stock may not be suitable for investors who are seeking current income
from dividends. Any determination to pay dividends on our common
stock in the future will be at the discretion of our board of
directors.
6
Our
common shares trade on the Over-the-Counter-Bulletin-Board quotation system.
Trading in our shares has historically been subject to very low volumes and wide
disparity in pricing. Investors may not be able to sell or trade their common
shares because of thin volume and volatile pricing with the consequence that
they may have to hold your shares for an indefinite period of time.
There
are legal restrictions on the resale of the common shares offered, including
penny stock regulations under the U.S. Federal Securities
Laws.
We
anticipate that our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock
rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules
regulate broker/dealer practices for transactions in "penny stocks." Penny
stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The
penny stock rules require broker/dealers to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock,
the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson and monthly account
statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
account. The bid and offer quotations and the broker/dealer and salesperson
compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing
prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing
before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that prior to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number
of broker-dealers who may be willing to engage in the trading of our shares.
These additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome and may
reduce all of the trading activity in the market for our common stock. As long
as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, our shareholders may
find it more difficult to sell their shares.
If
we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt
securities, your ownership will be diluted.
If we
raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt
securities, the percentage ownership held by existing shareholders will be
reduced. New securities may contain certain rights, preferences or
privileges that are senior to those of our common
shares. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive
to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive
covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility with respect to certain
business matters.
Grants
of stock options and other rights to our employees may dilute your stock
ownership.
We plan
to attract and retain employees in part by offering stock options and other
purchase rights for a significant number of common shares. The issuance of
common shares pursuant to these options, and options issued in the future, will
have the effect of reducing the percentage of ownership in us of our then
existing shareholders.
Our
stock price may be volatile and market movements may adversely affect your
investment.
The
market price of our stock may fluctuate substantially due to a variety of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. The stock markets in general have
experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations
may adversely affect the market price of our stock. Future sales of our common
shares by our shareholders could depress the price of our
stock.

Dividends
We have
not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject
to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they
may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our
cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be
needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.
Section Rule 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
Our
company's shares are issued under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on
broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess
of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For
transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's
written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule
may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may
affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary
market.
9
Section
15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who
sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain
essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both
public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of
the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a
dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation,
the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required
by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in
causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free
telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators
Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and
their associated persons.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL AND
RESULT OF OPERATIONS.
|
The
following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the
Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. This Report contains
certain forward-looking statements and the Company's future operating results
could differ materially from those discussed herein. Certain statements
contained in this Report, including, without limitation, statements containing
the words “believes”, “anticipates,” “expects” and the like, constitute
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). However, as the Company intends to issue “penny
stock,” as such term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Exchange
Act, the Company is ineligible to rely on these safe harbor provisions. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given
these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any

Limited
Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is
no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of
our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated
any revenues from operations.
To become
profitable and competitive, we have to conduct exploration on the property and
find mineralized material. We will be seeking equity financing to
provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration
phases. On July 27, 2007 we completed our private
placement. We raised $82,432 by selling 8,243,200 shares of common
stock at a price of $0.01 per share to twelve shareholders. The
proceeds of the offering have been used to sustain operations until the date of
this Report.
On May
11, 2010, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with CRG Finance AG whereby
CRG Finance AG purchased 700,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share for a
total of $7,000.
On August
31, 2010, we signed a promissory note agreeing to borrow $100,000 from CRG
Finance AG at a rate of 7.5% per annum, calculated based on a year of 365 days
and actual days elapsed. The loan, plus any interest accumulated, is due upon
demand after the first anniversary of the agreement date within thirty calendar
days upon delivery to the Borrower a written demand by the Lender.
On September 1, 2010, we executed a
consulting agreement whereby agreeing to pay Executive Consulting Services Group
(ECS) $1,000 per month on a month-by-month basis, renewable by mutual agreement.
ECS provides administrative support for the day-to-day operations of the
Company. Such administrative duties include maintaining compliance with
regulatory agencies, maintaining the Corporate Minute Book and acting as the
Company’s bookkeeper.
We have
no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms.
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to
continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in
additional dilution to existing shareholders.

On August

Recent
accounting pronouncements
Certain
accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard
setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted
by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of
operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be
material.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors
Ardent
Mines Limited
(An
exploration stage company)
New York,
NY
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ardent Mines Limited ("Ardent Mines")
as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of expenses, changes in
stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
and for the period from July 27, 2000 (inception) through June 30, 2010. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Ardent Mines' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. Ardent Mines is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits 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 Ardent Mines's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Ardent Mines as of June 30, 2010
and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended and for the period from July 27, 2000 (inception) through June 30,
2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Ardent Mines
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, Ardent Mines has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
negative working capital, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ARDENT
MINES LIMITED

EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of
Business. Ardent Mines Limited (Ardent Mines) was
incorporated in Nevada on July 27, 2000. Ardent Mines' principal business plan
is to acquire, explore and develop mineral properties and to ultimately seek
earnings by exploiting the mineral claims.
Ardent
Mines has been in the exploration stage since its formation on July 27, 2000 and
has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily
engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties.
Upon location of a commercial mineable reserve, Ardent Mines will actively
prepare the site for extraction and enter a development stage. At present,
management devotes most of its activities to raise sufficient funds to further
explore and develop its mineral properties. Planned principal activities have
not yet begun.
Use of
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents. Investments with an original maturity date
of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents and
are stated at cost.
Income
Taxes. Ardent Mines recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected
to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Ardent Mines
provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not
consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Exploration and
Development Costs. Ardent Mines has been in the
exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from
its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration
and development of mining properties. Mineral exploration costs 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,
the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be
amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the
probable reserve.
Basic and Diluted
Net Loss Per Share. Basic and diluted net loss per share
calculations are presented in accordance with ASC 260, and are calculated on the
basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. They include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with
net income. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same due to the absence of
common stock equivalents.
F-7
ARDENT
MINES LIMITED
(AN
EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Ardent
Mines does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting
pronouncements to have a significant impact on their results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
From July
27, 2000 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010, Ardent Mines has incurred a loss
and has a negative working capital at June 30, 2010. The ability of Ardent Mines
to emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal
business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional
equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. Management has
plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering
of its common stock. There is no guarantee that Ardent Mines will be able to
complete any of the above objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt
regarding the Ardent Mines' ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of
June 30, 2010, Ardent Mines has a payable to Urmas Turu, president for $38,490
that was used for payment of expenses on behalf of the Company. The
amount has no terms of repayment, is unsecured, and bears no
interest. Ardent Mines also leases its business office from Mr. Turu
for free.
NOTE
4 - COMMON STOCK
A
chronological history of Ardent Mines' stock transactions is as
follows:
July 27,
2000 - Ardent Mines incorporated in Nevada. Ardent Mines is authorized to issue
100,000,000 shares of its $0.00001 par value common stock.
August 1,
2000 - Ardent Mines issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to each of Ardent
Mines' President and Secretary and Treasurer for services rendered. This is
accounted for as compensation expense of $273,048 and advances and reimbursement
expense of $1,952.
February
8, 2002 - The former President of Ardent Mines sold his 2,500,000 shares to the
new President and Chief Executive Officer of Ardent Mines.
For the
year ended June 30, 2004, Ardent Mines issued 1,014,450 shares of common stock
at $0.10 per share pursuant to an SB-2 Registration Statement.
During
the year ended June 30, 2007 a Registration S agreement was filed and $82,432
was raised under the terms of this agreement at June 30, 2007. The
shares were issued in August 2007.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
February 12, 2009, Urmas Turu, our sole officer and director, purchased 625,000
shares from four shareholders for $1,250, totaling $5,000. After the transaction
was completed, Mr. Turu owns 2,500,000 shares of our common stock which is equal
to 17.5% of our issued and outstanding common stock. The shares of
common stock were purchased using personal funds.
On May
11, 2010, CRG Finance AG bought 700,000 common shares at $0.01 per share or
$7,000.
NOTE
5 - DEBT FORGIVENESS
As of
June 30, 2010, Christopher Wilson, the Company’s former president, loaned Ardent
Mines $19,025 to cover operating expenses. As of June 30, 2009, this
amount is reported as part of accounts payable since Christopher Wilson is no
longer considered a related party. On June 30, 2010, Mr. Wilson
agreed to forgive the full amount owed to him. This has been
accounted for on the financial statements as debt forgiveness
income.
During
the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company became indebted to its former
president, Taras Chebountchak, for $16,129 for payment of expenses on the
Company’s behalf. The amount had no terms of repayment, was
unsecured, and bore no interest. As of June 30, 2009, this amount is reported as
part of accounts payable since Taras Chebountchak is no longer considered a
related party. On June 30, 2010, Mr. Chebountchak agreed to forgive
the full amount owed to him. This has been accounted for on the
financial statements as debt forgiveness income.
During
the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company owed Executive Consulting Services,
Group (ECS) a total of $13,560. On February 16, 2010, the Company repaid $11,000
and Executive Consulting Services, Group (ECS) forgave the remaining $2,560.
This has been accounted for on the financial statements as debt forgiveness
income.
NOTE
6 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an
approximate rate of 35%.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
The
cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $545,000 at June
30, 2010, and will expire in the years 2021 to 2029.
NOTE
7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August
31, 2010, we borrowed $100,000 from CRG Finance AG at a rate of 7.5% per annum.
The loan, plus any interest accumulated, is due upon demand after the first

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an
evaluation, with the participation of the Company's management, including the
Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO")
(the Company's principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the
Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules
and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the
Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
The management of the Company is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was
designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company's
management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of
published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2010. The framework used by management in making that
assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled " Internal
Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our
management has determined that as of June 30, 2010, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting was effective for the purposes for which it is
intended.
This annual report does not include an
attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding
internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject
to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to
temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the
Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was
no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our
knowledge, during the past five years, our officers and directors: have not
filed a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law,
nor had a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a court for the
business or present of such a person, or any partnership in which he was a
general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any
corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer within
two years before the time of such filing; were not convicted in a criminal
proceeding or named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic

competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission to have violated any federal commodities law, and the judgment in
such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not

Compliance
with Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive
officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports
of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Directors, executive officers and persons who own more
than 10% of our common stock are required by Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.
Based
solely upon review of the copies of such reports received or written
representations from the reporting persons, we believe that during our 2009
fiscal year our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10%
of our common stock filed all reports required by section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Audit
Committee and Charter
Although
we have adopted an audit committee charter, we have not created an effective
audit committee. Our audit committee is comprised of all of our officers and
directors. Further, none of directors are deemed independent. During the period
covered by this Report, the individual who was our sole director also held all
of our executive officer positions. Our audit committee, when established, will
be responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant;
(2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3)
establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our
employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging
outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside
advisors engagement by the audit committee.
15
Audit
Committee Financial Expert
We have
no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert
at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations, we
believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Code
of Ethics
We have
adopted a corporate code of ethics. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably
designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports;
comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code
violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.
Disclosure
Committee and Charter
We have a
disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee
is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee
is to provide assistance to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and
disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and
timeliness of our financial reports.

Compensation
of Directors
We do not

Indemnification
Under our
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an
officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit,
because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in
defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful
on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must
indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With
respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually
and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or
director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is
intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Nevada.
Regarding
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which
may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification
is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

PRINCIPAL
ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Audit fees
The
aggregate fees billed for the two most recently completed fiscal periods ended
June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 for professional services rendered by
MaloneBailey, LLP, registered public accountants, for the audit of our annual
financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim financial statements and
services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with
statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as
follows:

In the
above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for
services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the
subject year along with reviews of interim quarterly financial statements and
involvement with various in arrears filing earlier in 2009. “Audit-related fees”
are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance
and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit
review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the
auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and
tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and
services not included in the foregoing categories.
Pursuant
to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
Effective
May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require
that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted
non-audit related service, the engagement be:
-approved
by our audit committee; or
-entered
into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit
committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the
particular service, the audit committee is
informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include
delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.
We do not
have an independent audit committee. Our entire board of directors
pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
The
pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules.
Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what
percentage of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the
above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of
directors either before or after the respective services were
rendered.
