Silverstar Mining Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
31 December 2010


1.  
Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations

Silverstar Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 5 December 2003.  On 4 March 2008, the Company completed a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., which was incorporated by the Company solely to effect the name change of the Company to Silverstar Mining Corp.  The Company was incorporated for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverdale Mining Corp. (“Silverdale”) from 24 July 2008, the date of acquisition.

The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to development stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is 30 September.

These consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2010 and for the three month period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has a loss of $12,604 (2009 - $14,626, cumulative - $1,477,394) and has working capital deficit of $99,873 at 31 December 2010 (30 September 2010 - $93,269).

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ending 30 September 2011.  However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favourable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
At 31 December 2010, the Company had suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its president to perform essential functions without compensation until a business operation can be commenced.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2.  
Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
 
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Mineral property costs
 
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on 5 December 2003 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.
 
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased.  At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs (Note 4).

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Reclamation costs

The Company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine.  The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred.  The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made.  Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.
 
Long-lived assets

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
 
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
 
Derivative financial instruments
 
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

    Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards.  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.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
 
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.  In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Comprehensive loss
 
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As at 31 December 2010, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Segments of an enterprise and related information
 
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
 
Start-up expenses
 
The Company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.  Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 5 December 2003 to 31 December 2010.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Changes in accounting policies
 
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity with its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  ASU No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed.  ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition
 
In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.
 
On 24 July 2008, the Company acquired Silverdale. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company was $791,860 of which $141,760 was paid in cash, and the Company issued 4,334,000 common shares of the Company valued at $650,100 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Silverdale (Notes 10 and 12). Silverdale was acquired pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement with Silverdale and the former shareholders of Silverdale dated 13 June 2008.  The acquisition of Silverdale expanded the Company’s business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties.
 
A valuation of certain assets was completed and the Company internally determined the fair value of other assets and liabilities.  In determining the fair value of acquired assets, standard valuation techniques were used including the market and income approach.

The purchase price allocation has been determined as follows:
 
 
Assets purchased:

Cash and cash equivalents

Income Taxes

The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to 31 December 2010.  There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the period ended 31 December 2010 due to the Company’s loss position. The Company has fully reserved for any benefits of these losses.  The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate.  Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period.  Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments.

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. The Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements.  These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors".
 
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
 
As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "we", "us", "our", “Company”, and “Silverstar” mean Silverstar Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation, unless otherwise indicated and the term “Silverdale” means Silverdale Mining Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary.
 
Corporate History
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2003 under the name “Computer Maid, Inc.”.  On February 13, 2006, we changed our name from “Computer Maid, Inc.” to “Rose Explorations Inc.”.
 
In February 2006, we acquired the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim in Clark County Nevada and in June 2006, we staked the Rose Prospect II Lode Mining Claim adjacent to the west of the Rose Lode Claim to cover other indicated mineralized zones observed in that area. From February 2006, we have been an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties.
 
Effective March 4, 2008, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation. As a result, we changed our name from “Rose Explorations Inc.” to “Silverstar Mining Corp.” We changed the name of our company to better reflect the direction and business of our company.
 
In addition, effective March 4, 2008 we effected a three (3) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 225,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.
 
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a joint venture agreement with New Jersey Mining Co. to acquire a 50% interest in the Silver Strand silver mine located in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District.  We were unable to close the joint venture agreement as expected before September 30, 2008. The Company is in default under the terms of the option agreement, and does not have any short term prospects for raising the funds needed to complete these projects and has written off its deferred mineral property costs related to the project.
 
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, we have agreed to share equally in the production and further development and exploration of the property.
 
On June 13, 2008, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Silverdale Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation, and the shareholders of Silverdale Mining Corp. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock in the capital of Silverdale Mining Corp. occurred on July 24, 2008.  In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued 4,334,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Silverdale Mining Corp. in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of all of the 4,334,000 issued and outstanding shares of Silverdale Mining Corp.  Silverdale Mining Corp. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of our company.
 
On September 8, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with Gold Canyon Partners, LLP pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase a 100% interest in a mining property commonly known as the Cobalt Canyon Gold Project, in the Chief District, located in Lincoln County, Nevada. The acquisition contemplated by the letter of intent is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, due diligence and the negotiation of a definitive agreement.  We have chosen not to complete the agreement and have forfeited the $15,000 initial payment.
 
On September 30, 2008, we entered into a share cancellation/return to treasury agreement with Greg Cowan, a former director and officer of our company. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Cowan agreed to the return and cancellation of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock that were held by him. We did not provide Mr. Cowan with any compensation for such cancellation.
 
Effective June 2, 2009, we entered into a share cancellation/return to treasury agreement with Jim MacKenzie wherein he agreed to the cancellation and return to treasury of 850,000 shares of our common stock. Subsequent to the stock cancellation, Mr. MacKenzie will hold 150,000 shares of our common stock.
 
On June 2, 2009, Mr. Greg Cowan, a former president, chief executive officer, secretary, treasurer and director of our company, transferred 5,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Lawrence Siccia, our current president, chief executive officer and director. Mr. Siccia purchased the shares from personal funds in the amount of $500.
 
In October 2010, Mr. Lawrence Siccia, a former president, chief executive officer, secretary, treasurer and director of our company, transferred 5,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Neil Kleinman, our current president, chief executive officer and director. Mr. Kleinman purchased the shares from personal funds in the amount of $2,500.
 
Plan of Operation

We currently have no operations.

Since we no longer have operations, our focus will be to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination (a "Business Combination") with an operating or development stage business (the "Target Business") which desires to utilize our status as a reporting corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). We intend to seek potential business opportunities and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business with significant growth potential which, in the opinion of our management, could provide a profit to both the Company and our shareholders. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long term growth as opposed to short term earnings. Our efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business are expected to emphasize businesses primarily located in the United States; however, we reserve the right to acquire a Target Business located elsewhere. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, as a result of our limited resources, we will, in all likelihood, have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. We may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. The Company’s expertise is in the mining sector and the focus will most likely remain concentrate in the mining sector. However, we will not restrict our search to the mining industry, any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Our management may become involved in management of the Target Business and/or may hire qualified but as yet unidentified individuals to manage such Target Business. Presently, we have no plans, proposals, agreements, understandings or arrangements to acquire any asset or merge with any specific business or company, and we have not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation.

"Shell" Corporation

We were previously a developmental stage company with limited operations. Currently, we have virtually no business operations and expect to conduct none in the future, other than our efforts to effectuate a Business Combination. As a result we can be characterized as a "shell" corporation. As a shell corporation, we face special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. We face all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties related to such companies. We are dependent upon our management to effectuate a Business Combination. Assuming management is successful in identifying a Business Combination, it is unlikely our shareholders will have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more Business combinations and will have no control over the decision making relating to such.

Due to our limited capital resources, the consummation of a Business Combination will likely involve the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation with, a company that does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for our shares, while avoiding what it might deem to be the adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various federal and state securities laws that regulate initial public offerings. A Target Business might desire, among other reasons, to create a public market for their shares in order to enhance liquidity for current shareholders, facilitate raising capital through the public sale of securities of which a prior existence of a public market for our securities exists, and/or acquire additional assets through the issuance of securities rather than for cash.
 
 
 
We cannot estimate the time that it will take to effectuate a Business Combination. It could be time consuming; possibly in excess of many months. Additionally, no assurance can be made that we will be able to effectuate a Business Combination on favorable terms. We might identify and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business which proves to be unsuccessful for any number of reasons, many of which are due to the fact that the Target Business is not identified at this time. If this occurs, the Company and our shareholders might not realize any type of profit.

Unspecified Industry and Target Business

We will not limit our search to companies engaged in mining. Rather, we will seek to acquire a Target Business without limiting ourselves to a particular industry. Most likely, the Target Business will be primarily located in the United States, although we reserve the right to acquire a Target Business located outside the United States. In seeking a Target Business, we will consider, without limitation, businesses which (i) offer or provide services or develop, manufacture or distribute goods in the United States or abroad, including, without limitation, in the following areas: mining, internet services, real estate, health care and health products, educational services, environmental services, consumer-related products and services (including amusement, entertainment and/or recreational services), personal care services, voice and data information processing and transmission and related technology development (ii) is engaged in wholesale or retail distribution or (iii) is engaged in manufacturing, construction, alternative energy production, mining or exploration operations. To date, we have not selected any particular industry or any Target Business in which to concentrate our Business Combination efforts. Accordingly, we are only able to make general disclosures concerning the risks and hazards of effectuating a Business Combination with a Target Business since there is presently no current basis for us to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the Target Business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate.
 
To the extent that we effect a Business Combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth (including entities without established records of sales or earnings), we will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a Business Combination with a Target Business in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries which experience rapid growth. Although management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or Target Business, there can be no assurances that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.Rose
 
Purchase of Significant Equipment
 
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2010, our company had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial statements, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. Our company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
 
Employees
 
We do not expect any significant changes in the number of employees during the next twelve month period. We presently conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.
 
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
We have not generated any revenue since inception and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our business activities. For these reasons, our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
 
Our operating results for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

As of December 31, 2010, our total assets were $1,817 and our total liabilities were $101,690 and we had a working capital deficit of $99,873. Our financial statements report a net loss of $12,604 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, and a net loss of $1,477,394 for the period from December 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2010.
 
 
 
Going Concern
 
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of debt or equity capital financing from the sale of our common stock.  At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through debt to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future debt or equity financing.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.
 
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
 
Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Mineral property costs
 
Our company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.  
 
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased.  At the end of each fiscal quarter end, our company assesses the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and we have been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
 
As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, our company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
 
Although our company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which we have an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee our company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
 
Reclamation costs
 
Our company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine.  The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred.  The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made.  Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.
 
Long-lived assets
 
Long-term assets of our company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
 
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
 
Derivative financial instruments
 
Our company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards.  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.  Our company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share
 
Our company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.  In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Comprehensive loss
 
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As at 31 December 2010, our company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Segments of an enterprise and related information
 
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  Our company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
 
Start-up expenses
 
Our company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.  Accordingly, start-up costs associated with our company’s formation have been included in our company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 5 December 2003 to 31 December 2010.
 
 
 
Foreign currency translation
 
Our company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  The consolidated financial statements of our company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  Our company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Comparative figures
 
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
Changes in accounting policy
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  ASC No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed.  ASC No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As of December 31, the end of our quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended December 31, 2010 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
Item 1.                      Legal Proceedings
 
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
 
Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.
 
Our securities are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including among other items the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, filed on January 13, 2011. You should carefully consider those risk factors and other information in our annual report on Form 10-K and this quarterly report before deciding to invest in our securities. We are unaware of any material changes in or additional risk factors since the filing of our annual report.
 
Other Risks
 
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
 
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
