Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

Organization

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007, as Gas Salvage Corp. for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and development of oil and gas. In July 2008, the Company changed its name to Pinnacle Energy Corp. On February 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the aircraft component part design, engineering and manufacturing assets of Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC (“HAC”). The transaction was structured as an asset acquisition. Following completion of the HAC acquisition, our Board of Directors decided to dispose of our oil and gas business interests and focus on the aircraft component market. On February 10, 2010, we completed the sale of all of our oil and gas business interests in exchange for cancellation of all obligations under an outstanding promissory note having a principal amount of $1,000,000. Pursuant to FASB standards, the Company has retro-actively presented its oil and gas business as discontinued operations. See Note 11 – Discontinued Operations for further discussion.

In March 2010, the Company changed its name to Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc.

On July 27, 2008, the Company completed a three-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock. The share and per-share information disclosed within this Form 10-Q reflect the completion of this stock split.

The Company was in the business of acquiring and developing oil and gas properties until February 2010.

In September 2007, the Company acquired a 44.5% leasehold interest (35.6% net revenue interest) in a producing gas well on 40 acres in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, known as Holmes #1. The gas well drilled was put into production in November, 2007. At the time the Company acquired its interest in Holmes #1, the Company also acquired, for $100,000, a 50% interest in a portable nitrogen rejection unit.

The Holmes #1 well has been shut down awaiting repairs to its nitrogen rejection unit. A geologist’s report dated December 18, 2007 indicated that the lease was selling between 85 and 100 MCF per day, however volumetric calculations of the Holmes #1 reservoir have not yet been performed. The unamortized acquisition cost remained on the balance sheet during the production period, since volumetric calculations were not completed. The well dried up in 2009 and the Company determined this well was fully impaired as of July 31, 2009, and accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $190,000 on the Holmes well and an impairment charge on equipment of $82,500 during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 which is reflected in the statement of operations as part of the net loss from discontinued operations.

On September 1, 2008 the Company acquired working interests in six oil and gas wells located in Pawnee County, Oklahoma for $1,000,000, payable September 1, 2013. Interest at an annual rate of 8% is due monthly. The working interests consist of a 25.5% working interest (20.4% net revenue interest) in two wells, a 20% working interest (16% net revenue interest) in three wells and a 17% working interest (13.6% net revenue interest) in the remaining well. Volumetric calculations of the wells have not yet been performed. An examination as to whether the wells warrant impairment based on expected revenue hinges upon performance of volumetric calculations. On February 10, 2010, we completed the sale of all of our oil and gas business interests in exchange for cancellation of all obligations under an outstanding promissory note having a principal amount of $1,000,000. Pursuant to FASB standards, the Company has retro-actively presented its oil and gas business as discontinued operations. See Note 11 – Discontinued Operations for further discussion.

The Company’s aircraft component business commenced on February 1, 2010. To date, its operations have focused on product design and engineering. The Company has not commenced commercial manufacture or sales of our products.

The Company designs, manufactures and sells aerospace quality component parts for commercial and military aircraft, space vehicles, power plants and surface and undersea vessels. These parts have applications in both newly constructed platforms and as spares for existing platforms. The Company’s initial products are self-lubricating spherical bearings that help with several flight-critical tasks, including aircraft flight controls and landing gear. 

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $1,934,204 and a gain from discontinued operations of $115,527 during the nine months ended July 31, 2010, and an accumulated deficit of $2,585,959 since inception. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and or a debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
 
On March 30, 2010, the Company acquired 25% of the outstanding share capital of Godfrey (China) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Godfrey”), in exchange for the Company’s technology used for the design and production of SAE-AS81820, 81934 and 81935 self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The Company legally owns 25% of Godfrey. See Note 4 for further discussion. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and its controlled variable interest entity, Godfrey. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company records net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of its consolidated VIE. Non-controlling interest is recorded in owners' equity on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
 
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2009 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2010. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents
 
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. There were no cash equivalents at July 31, 2010 or October 31, 2009.
 
As of July 31, 2010, the variable interest entity (Godfrey) is consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Godfrey had $883,768 of cash on hand as of July 31, 2010. These cash balances are not available to Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and accordingly have been classified as restricted on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company has an indefinite-lived intangible asset relating to purchased blueprints, formulas, designs and processes for manufacturing and production of self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The indefinite-lived intangible asset is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-term assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred. Major overhaul that extends the useful life of existing assets is capitalized. When equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.

Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts. Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. We adopted the standard as of inception and applied the standard using the modified prospective method. The Company has not issued any stock options.

Beneficial conversion features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

Development-Stage Company

The Company is considered a development-stage company, with limited operating revenues during the periods presented, as defined by the FASB. The FASB requires companies to report their operations, shareholders deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things. Management has defined inception as June 5, 2007. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses of $2,585,959. The Company’s working capital has been primarily generated through the sales of common stock as well as revenue from its wells. Management has provided financial data since June 5, 2007, “Inception”, in the financial statements.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company adopted the standard issued by the FASB, which requires presentation of basic earnings or loss per share and diluted earnings or loss per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is similarly calculated using the treasury stock method except that the denominator is increased to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities at the end of the applicable period were exercised. There were 6,000,000 Series A Warrants and 6,000,000 Series B Warrants outstanding as of July 31, 2010 that are not included in the calculation of Diluted EPS as their impact would be anti-dilutive. There were no potential dilutive securities as of July 31, 2009.

Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB amended its existing standards for a parent's noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and the accounting for future ownership changes with respect to the subsidiary. The new standard defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The new standard requires, among other things, that a noncontrolling interest be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated balance sheet as equity, but separate from the parent's equity; that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and that if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, the parent measure at fair value any noncontrolling equity investment that the parent retains in the former subsidiary and recognize a gain or loss in net income based on the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment. The Company adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2009.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350-10, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” ASC 350-10 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350-10, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” ASC No. 350-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805-10, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised December 2007), Business Combinations”. ASC 805-10 addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805-10 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. ASC 805-10 will have an impact on the Company’s accounting for any future acquisitions and its financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacts the disclosure requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. See Note 9 for disclosures regarding our subsequent events.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout these financials have been updated for the Codification.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On February 1, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of the aircraft component part design, engineering and manufacturing assets of Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC (“HAC”). The transaction was structured as an asset acquisition in exchange for:

 
·
8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
·
A Series A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Series A warrant becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $50,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2015.
 
·
A Series B common stock purchase warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Series B warrant becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $100,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2018.
 
·
The assumption by the Company of $260,000 of obligations under a convertible note. The convertible note assumed by the Company does not bear interest and becomes payable on March 12, 2011. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations; certain dividends and distributions; reclassification, exchange or substitution; reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets. As the convertible note does not bear interest, the Company recorded the present value of the convertible note obligation at $239,667 and accordingly recorded a convertible note payable for $260,000 and a corresponding debt discount of $20,333. Under the effective interest method, the Company accretes the note obligation to the face amount of the convertible note over the remaining term of the note. Debt discount expense totaled $4,327 and $8,441 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, respectively. See Note 8 for further discussion.
 
·
The assumption by the Company of $200,000 of obligations under a note payable plus $11,737 of accrued interest. The holder of the note payable is the mother-in-law of William McKay, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. See Note 6 and 8 for further discussion.
 
·
Cancellation of $26,000 of HAC's secured promissory notes due to the Company.

The Company acquired intangible intellectual property including blueprints, formulas, designs and processes for manufacturing and production of self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The transaction was deemed to be an asset acquisition of research and development pursuant to the FASB standards.

The following table summarizes the entry recorded for the intangible assets acquired:

These intellectual property assets are deemed to be indefinite-lived and accordingly are not amortized. The Company does perform an annual review for impairment. There were no impairment indicators during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF INTEREST IN GODFREY (CHINA) LIMITED
 
On March 30, 2010, the Company acquired 25% of the outstanding share capital of Godfrey (China) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Godfrey”), in exchange for the Company’s technology used for the design and production of SAE-AS81820, 81934 and 81935 self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The Company legally owns 25% of Godfrey.
 
Godfrey was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with the Company being the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE as Mr. McKay’s position and Godfrey’s (VIE) dependence on the Company’s technical expertise enable the Company to influence the daily operations and financial affairs of Godfrey (VIE). Additionally, the Company would participate in any losses or returns of the VIE and the VIE is structured whereby a significant portion of its activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to FASB standards, the Company consolidates the VIE since it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and its controlled variable interest entity, Godfrey. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company records net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of its consolidated VIE. Non-controlling interest is recorded in owners' equity on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
It was determined that 50% or $1,234,702 of the intellectual property assets acquired on February 1, 2010 (as discussed in Note 3) were contributed to Godfrey. The non-controlling interest balance of $1,642,102 at July 31, 2010 is comprised of the following:
 
 
·
75% (or $900,000) of the $1,200,000 restricted cash initially held by Godfrey at the time of the acquisition;
 
·
75% (or $926,026) of the $1,234,702 of the intellectual property contributed to Godfrey
 
·
Less 75% (or $183,924) of the net loss of Godfrey for the three months ended July 31, 2010
 
William McKay, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the Chief Executive Officer of Godfrey.
 
The Company determined that the fair value of the restricted cash and intangible assets involved in the transaction approximated their carrying values due to their nature (restricted cash) and recent acquisition (intangible assets). Further, due to the common management of both entities, a step-up in basis was not deemed appropriate under current accounting guidance.

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company purchased a 50% interest in a skid mounted nitrogen rejection unit in October, 2005 for $100,000. The unit strips out excessive nitrogen and oxygen from gas wells to an acceptable level of contaminants in the gas stream. The unit was used on the Company’s gas wells commencing November, 2007. As of July 31, 2009, the equipment was determined to be inoperable and an impairment charge on equipment of $82,500 was recorded during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.

On April 12, 2010, the Company purchased $82,500 of tooling for its proprietary bearings. The Company and the vendor agreed that 328,000 shares of common stock would be issued as payment in full for the tooling assets. As the value of the common stock obligation totaled $104,960 at April 12, 2010 (the closing stock price was $0.32 per share on April 12, 2010), the Company recorded in equity $104,960 and recorded a corresponding loss on settlement with stock for $22,460 for the difference between the value of the common stock to be issued and the value of the tooling asset acquired. On June 9 2010, the Company issued 328,000 shares of common stock to pay the obligation in full. In May 2010, the Company sold the tooling to Godfrey. Gains from the sale of the tooling assets are eliminated in consolidation. See Note 6, 10 and Note 12 for further discussion.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Support Services Agreement with Cardiff Partners, LLC (formerly Strands Management Company, LLC) (the “Cardiff Agreement”). Matt Szot, our former Chief Financial Officer and former Secretary, is the Chief Financial Officer of Cardiff. Keith Moore and David Walters, former members of our board of directors, each own a 50% interest and is a managing member of Cardiff. Pursuant to the Cardiff Agreement, in consideration for providing certain services to the Company, Cardiff is entitled to a monthly fee in the amount of $10,000.  The Company also issued 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Szot pursuant to the Cardiff Agreement. The initial term of the Cardiff Agreement expired June 28, 2010. The Company incurred $90,500 and $10,000 in consulting fees under the terms of the agreement for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is included in consulting expenses. On January 28, 2010, the Company issued 448,340 shares of common stock as payment in full of $50,000 of outstanding balances due to Cardiff. As of July 31, 2010, $49,500 was outstanding under the agreement.

On January 12, 2010, the Company amended the Cardiff Agreement. Under the amended Cardiff Agreement, Cardiff has the option to accept payment of outstanding cash compensation owed to it under its agreements with the Company in the form of shares of our common stock. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated by dividing the outstanding balance to be paid by 50% of the average of the closing prices for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date that notice accepting shares in payment is sent to us. In addition, under the amended Cardiff Agreement, Cardiff has provided and will provide the Company with transaction execution support services in connection with the HAC transaction, including due diligence, business review of relevant transaction documentation and audit support. As compensation for the additional services, in February 2010 the Company issued to Cardiff 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, a Series A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Series B common stock purchase warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series A warrant has an exercise price of $0.50 and becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $50,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2015. The Series B warrant has an exercise price of $1.00 and becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $100,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2018.

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with David Walters, its former Chief Executive Officer and former member of its Board of Directors. Under the agreement, which had a term of one year, Mr. Walters received a base salary of $180,000, plus 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 12, 2010, the Company amended the Employment Agreement with Mr. Walters. Under the amended agreement, Mr. Walters had the option to accept payment of outstanding cash compensation owed to him under the agreement in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be issued is calculated by dividing the outstanding balance to be paid by 50% of the average of the closing prices for our common stock during the 20 trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date that notice accepting shares in payment is sent to the Company. The Company incurred $45,000 and $15,000 under the terms of the agreement for the nine months ended July, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On January 28, 2010, the Company issued 941,514 shares of common stock as payment in full of outstanding balances due to Mr. Walters totaling $105,000.

NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE

The Company issued a promissory note to Futures Investment Corporation on September 1, 2008 for $1,000,000 as payment for an oil and gas working interest in Pawnee County, Oklahoma.  The note is payable on September 1, 2013.  Interest is payable monthly at the rate of 8% simple interest.  As of January 31, 2010, the Company was in default on the note, as the Company has not made the monthly interest payments.  On February 10, 2010, the Company completed the sale of all of its oil and gas business interest in exchange for cancellation of all obligations under the promissory note.  See Note 11 – Discontinued Operations for further discussion.

As part of the acquisition of intellectual property assets from HAC, the Company assumed $260,000 of obligations under a convertible note.  The convertible note assumed by the Company does not bear interest and becomes payable on March 12, 2011.   The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share.  The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations; certain dividends and distributions; reclassification, exchange or substitution; reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets.  As the convertible note does not bear interest, the Company recorded the present value of the convertible note obligation at $239,667 and accordingly recorded a convertible note payable for $260,000 and a corresponding debt discount of $20,333.    Under the effective interest method, the Company accretes the note obligation to the face amount of the convertible note over the remaining term of the note.  Debt discount expense totaled $4,327 and $8,441 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, respectively.  The Company performed an evaluation and determined that the anti-dilution clause did not require derivative treatment.

Item 2. 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
 
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation provide information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and all our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) through the date of this report.

Forward Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes both historical and forward-looking statements, which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulations.  Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are intended to operate as “forward-looking statements” of the kind permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, incorporated in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  That legislation protects such predictive statements by creating a “safe harbor” from liability in the event that a particular prediction does not turn out as anticipated. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will probably not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved.  Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.  You should review carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of certain of the risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those expressed or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
 
The inclusion of the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us, or any other person, that such forward-looking statements will be achieved.  You should be aware that any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which we make it. We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Overview

We design, manufacture and sell aerospace quality component parts for commercial and military aircraft, space vehicles, power plants and surface and undersea vessels.  These parts have applications in both newly constructed platforms and as spares for existing platforms.  Our initial products are self-lubricating spherical bearings that help with several flight-critical tasks, including aircraft flight controls and landing gear.   

Our aircraft component business commenced on February 1, 2010.   To date, our operations have focused on product design and engineering.  We have not commenced commercial manufacture or sales of our products.

Our strategy is to leverage our product design and engineering expertise and assets to form joint venture or other business relationships with local partners in markets outside the United States who will provide manufacturing, sales and distribution capabilities.  Our initial target markets are China, India and the Middle East.  Additionally, we plan to establish a small manufacturing facility in the United States to provide component parts to military weapon systems and small quantities of products with accelerated delivery schedules to commercial aerospace end users.

 
18

 

As we execute our business strategy in the fiscal years ending October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2011, we expect to incur a substantial amount of operating expenses that have not been incurred or reflected in our historical results of operations, including: expenses for personnel, operations, and professional fees. We also expect that we will continue to incur stock based compensation charges in future periods as we will likely issue equity awards as a form of compensation to management, vendors and other professional service providers.

Interest in Godfrey (China)

On March 30, 2010, we acquired 25% of the outstanding share capital of Godfrey (China) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Godfrey”), in exchange for our technology used for the design and production of SAE-AS81820, 81934 and 81935 self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. To date, Godfrey has raised $1.2 million to fund operating expenses and the establishment of a manufacturing facility in mainland China. Godfrey has formed a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in China through which it intends to do
business in the domestic China market and export its goods globally.

In September 2010, Godfrey opened a production facility, in Guangzhou, Guangdong. That facility is currently preparing to enter the “qualification” process for approval by the United States Navy.  If approved, the Guangzhou facility would be placed on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Qualified Producers List, allowing all Chinese and international airframe manufacturers, sub-tier suppliers, MRO facilities, airlines and distributors to purchase parts produced there.  The Guangzhou facility, located in close proximity to Hong Kong and Guangzhou would be the first facility in China qualified for the production of SAE-AS81820, SAE-AS81934 and SAE-As81935 spherical bearings, bushings and rod end bearings, components used extensively in commercial aircraft.  

We currently anticipate the Guangzhou facility will enter the qualification process in October 2010 and will complete qualification in late November or early December 2010.  The current schedule would enable the Guangzhou facility to commence commercial deliveries in  early 2011.
 
William McKay, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the President of Godfrey.
 
Godfrey was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with the Company being the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE as Mr. McKay’s position and Godfrey’s (VIE) dependence on the Company’s technical expertise enable the Company to influence the daily operations and financial affairs of Godfrey (VIE).  Additionally, the Company would participate in any losses or returns of the VIE and the VIE is structured whereby a significant portion of its activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of the Company.   Pursuant to FASB standards, the Company consolidates the VIE since it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
 
 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and its controlled variable interest entity, Godfrey. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company records net income/loss attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of its consolidated VIE. Non-controlling interest is recorded in owners' equity on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three and Nine Months Ended July 31, 2010, Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended July 31, 2009

Revenues

We recently changed our principal business to the aerospace component business, and expect to continue to incur operating expenses to pursue our business plan.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

Following completion of the HAC asset acquisition, our Board of Directors decided to dispose of our oil and gas business interests and focus on the aircraft component market.   On February 10, 2010, we completed the sale of all of our oil and gas business interest in exchange for cancellation of all obligations under an outstanding promissory note.  We recorded a gain on disposal of assets totaling $0 and $115,527 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010, respectively.  Pursuant to FASB standards, we have retro-actively presented our oil and gas business as discontinued operations.

Our gain from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2010 totaled $0 and $115,527, respectively.   Our loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, totaled $314,963 and $333,848, respectively.  Our loss from discontinued operations since inception through July 31, 2010, totaled $213,194.  Prior year financial statements have been restated to present the discontinued operations.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.

We have not yet established a source of revenues to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern.  We do not expect to generate any revenues until at least the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.  In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations, we will need, among other things, significant additional capital resources.  Accordingly, management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and other securities.

The aircraft component part business is capital intensive.  Execution of our business strategy will require substantial capital investment in the short-term and in future periods.  We require capital for, among other purposes, designing and engineering our products and establishing joint venture or other business relationships for the manufacture and distribution of our products.

Because cash generated internally is not sufficient to fund capital requirements in 2010, we will require additional debt and/or equity financing. However, this type of financing may not be available or, if available, may not be available on attractive terms.

Our current funding is not sufficient to continue our operations for the remainder of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010 and the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011.  We cannot provide any assurances that additional financing will be available to us or, if available, may not be available on acceptable terms.

If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease or delay development of our operations, sell assets or our business may fail.   In each such case, the holders of our common stock would lose all or most of their investment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of July 31, 2010, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates is critical to an understanding of our financials.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable.

The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the standards issued by FASB.  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
 
Godfrey was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with the Company being the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE as Mr. McKay’s position and Godfrey’s (VIE) dependence on the Company’s technical expertise enable the Company to influence the daily operations and financial affairs of Godfrey (VIE).  Additionally, the Company would participate in any losses or returns of the VIE and the VIE is structured whereby a significant portion of its activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of the Company.   Pursuant to FASB standards, the Company consolidates the VIE since it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
 
 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and its controlled variable interest entity, Godfrey. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company records net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of its consolidated VIE. Non-controlling interest is recorded in owners' equity on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB amended its existing standards for a parent's noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and the accounting for future ownership changes with respect to the subsidiary. The new standard defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The new standard requires, among other things, that a noncontrolling interest be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated balance sheet as equity, but separate from the parent's equity; that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and that if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, the parent measure at fair value any noncontrolling equity investment that the parent retains in the former subsidiary and recognize a gain or loss in net income based on the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment. The Company adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2009.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350-10, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets." ASC 350-10 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350-10, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." ASC No. 350-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  The introduction of the Codification does not change GAAP and other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a standard on subsequent events.  This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). It requires an entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has adopted the standard.

In September 2006, the FASB adopted a standard for fair value measurements.  This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Specifically, this standard establishes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.  As such, the value measurement should be determined based on assumptions the market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including, but not limited to assumptions about risk, restrictions on the sale or use of an asset and the risk of nonperformance for a liability.  The expanded disclosures include disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings for the period.  The adoption of this standard related to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.  We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this standard may have on our future financial statements related to non-financial assets and liabilities.

In October 2008, the FASB issued a standard for determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active.  We have concluded that the application of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations as of and for the three months ended July , 2010.

Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure and Procedures

 We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports made pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timelines specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report.
 
Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of period covered by this report due to the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.  Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2010, we have identified the following control deficiencies, which represent material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2010:

 
23

 

 
·
We did not have sufficient access to the books and records of Godfrey (China) Limited to permit us to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including the results of operations and financial condition of Godfrey as a variable interest entity. As a result, we did not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission this  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and we were not compliant with the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.  

·
We did not maintain effective controls with respect to reviewing and authorizing related party transactions. Specifically, our control procedures did not prevent Godfrey from making payments to related parties. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Management's Remediation Initiatives

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we plan to remediate these material weaknesses as follows:

 
·
We have assessed the information that we require from Godfrey to prepare our consolidated financial statements, and will implement policies and procedures designed to provide us sufficient access to such information to meet our periodic reporting requirements on a timely basis.

 
·
We will implement policies and procedures that will require independent director approval of all related party transactions prior to occurring and ensure appropriate preventative controls are in place.
   
Changes in Control Over Financial Reporting 

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.   However, we intend to implement the remedial initiatives described above in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
