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.
Business
Overview
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.

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. As of July 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the agreement.

terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.
As part
of the acquisition of intellectual property assets from HAC, the Company assumed
$200,000 of obligations under a note payable plus $11,737 of accrued interest.
The holder of the note payable (Theodora Kobal) is the mother-in-law of William
McKay, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer. On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated
convertible promissory note with Theodora Kobal which amended and restated in
its entirety the Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $200,000
issued by HAC to Theodora Kobal on March 16, 2009, and assumed by the Company on
February 1, 2010 in connection with its acquisition of the assets of HAC. The
amended and restated note has a principal amount of $216,455 which included all
outstanding interest due on the note. The amended and restated note includes a
fixed conversion price of $0.058 per share, 7% interest rate per annum and is
due and payable on June 3, 2011. In June 2010, the Company issued 2,200,000

On
February 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Placement Agency and Advisory
Services Agreement with Monarch Bay Associates, LLC (“MBA”). MBA is a
FINRA registered firm. Keith Moore and David
Walters, former members of the Company’s board of directors, are
members of (and each owns 50% of the ownership interests in) MBA. Under the
agreement, MBA acts as the Company’s placement agent on an exclusive basis with
respect to private placements of its capital stock and as its exclusive advisor
with respect to acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures and similar
transactions. MBA will receive fees equal to (a) 8% of the
gross proceeds raised by the Company in any private placement (plus warrants to
purchase 8% of the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable by the
Company in connection with the private placement) and (b) up to 5% of the total
consideration paid or received by the Company or its stockholders in an
acquisition, merger, joint venture or similar transaction. The
initial term of the Placement Agency and Advisory Services Agreement will expire
on February 15, 2011. On October 19, 2010 the Placement Agency and
Advisory Services Agreement was terminated by mutual agreement of the
parties.
In May,
2010, Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC received a payment of $132,880 from Godfrey
(China) Limited in respect of the purchase price for equipment tooling that the
Company provided to Godfrey. Harbin Aerospace is 100% owned by our Chief
Executive Officer and his wife. Under the terms of our Asset Purchase
Agreement with Harbin Aerospace, the payment from Godfrey was properly payable
to us and not Harbin Aerospace. Harbin Aerospace has since applied the
full amount received from Godfrey in payment of expenses on our behalf. As
of July 31, 2010, our balance sheet reflects an amount due from Harbin Aerospace
of $66,400 in respect of these funds.
On
October 19, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement
with Cardiff Partners, LLC, Monarch Bay Associates, LLC, David Walters, Keith
Moore and Matt Szot (collectively, the "Cardiff Parties") . Under the
settlement and release agreement, the Company terminated the Cardiff Agreement,
the MBA Placement Agency and Advisory Services Agreement and all of the other
agreements and arrangements with the Cardiff Parties in exchange for issuing
1,838,649 shares of the Company’s common stock to Cardiff Partners. The
Company also agreed to a mutual release of claims with the Cardiff
Parties.
NOTE
7 - NOTES RECEIVABLE
In
December 2009 and January 2010, the Company advanced a total of $26,000 to
Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC ("HAC") in exchange for HAC's secured promissory
notes. Upon completion of the Company's acquisition of HAC, the notes were
cancelled. See Note 3- Acquisition of Intangible Assets.
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.
14
As part
of the acquisition of intellectual property assets from HAC, the Company assumed
$200,000 of obligations under a note payable plus $11,737 of accrued interest.
The holder of the note payable (Theodora Kobal) is the mother-in-law of William
McKay, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer. The note bears interest at 7% per annum and principal and
interest are due and payable on March 31, 2011. On June 4, 2010, the
Company entered into an amended and restated convertible promissory note with
Theodora Kobal which amended and restated in its entirety the Promissory Note in
the original principal amount of $200,000 issued by HAC to Theodora Kobal on
March 16, 2009, and assumed by the Company on February 1, 2010 in connection
with its acquisition of the assets of HAC. The amended and restated
note has a principal amount of $216,455 which included all outstanding interest
due on the note. The amended and restated note includes a fixed
conversion price of $0.058 per share, 7% interest rate per annum and is due and
payable on June 3, 2011. The Company has evaluated the conversion
feature of the notes and determined that there was a $216,455 beneficial
conversion feature on certain notes as the fixed conversion price of $0.058 was
less than the fair value of the common stock at the time of
issuance. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a
debt discount on the accompanying balance sheet. During the three and
nine months ended July 31, 2010, debt discount expense totaled
$142,409.
In June
2010, the Company issued 2,200,000 shares of common stock to the note holder
reducing its principal obligation by $127,600 pursuant to conversion
requests.

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 have
only recently entered the aerospace component business. Accordingly, we have not
generated any revenues from continuing operations. We do not expect
to generate any revenues until at least the second quarter of fiscal year
2011. Revenues from our oil and gas business have been retroactively
reclassified to the loss from discontinued operations on the statement of
operations.

Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses from continuing operations totaled $684,192 for the fiscal quarter
ended July 31, 2010 compared to $379,500 for the comparable period in the prior
year. The current period operating expenses primarily consist of a
non-cash stock based compensation charge recorded of $343,650 for the (i)
300,000 shares of our common stock issued and 600,000 shares payable for public
and investor relation services pursuant to our Agreement with Equiti-trend (ii)

Operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 also include $36,000 of
consulting fees, $29,125 of other professional fees, and $275,417 of other
general and administrative expenses including $245,232 specific to our VIE
Godfrey. Operating expenses in the comparable period in the prior
year consist of $379,500 of stock based compensation charges for the issuance of
common stock to our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial
Officer.
Operating
expenses from continuing operations totaled $1,755,461 for the nine months ended
July 31, 2010 compared to $390,448 for the comparable period in the prior
year. The current period operating expenses primarily consist of a
non-cash stock based compensation charge recorded of $1,198,385. The
stock based compensation charges are for the following: (i) 2,500,000 shares of
our common stock issued for services pursuant to our Amended Support Services
Agreement with Cardiff Partners, LLC, (ii) 300,000 shares of our common stock
issued and an additional 300,000 shares payable pursuant to an employment

our common stock payable for chief financial officer services. Operating
expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 also include $96,000 of
consulting fees, $62,611 of other professional fees, and $398,465 of other
general and administrative expenses including $245,232 specific to our VIE
Godfrey. Operating expenses in the comparable period in the prior
year consist of $379,500 of stock based compensation charges for the issuance of
common stock to our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial
Officer.
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. As shown in the accompanying financial statements,
we incurred losses from continuing operations of $1,755,461 and $390,448 for the
nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and have an accumulated
deficit of $2,585,959 at July 31, 2010. At July 31, 2010, we had cash
balances of $61. At July 31, 2010, our variable interest entity
(Godfrey) is consolidated into our 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
our consolidated balance sheets.
20
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.
21
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.
22
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.

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.
