DALECO RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOT THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

1. CONTINUED OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates that Daleco Resources Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate its assets. The Company incurred a net loss of $337,555 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The ability of the Company to meet its total liabilities of $8,920,851 and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding, achieving profitability within its mineral segment and ongoing profitability within its oil and gas operations. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, there is uncertainty relative to full recoverability of its assets. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to these uncertainties.

The Company will continue to seek out and entertain project specific funding commitments and other capital funding alternatives if and as they become available.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were in default of certain debt and other obligations, not including the obligations classified as Long-term Debt in the accompanying Balance Sheets. The holders of these instruments are working with the Company to achieve the ultimate extinguishment of the obligations.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Description of Business

Daleco Resources Corporation is a Nevada corporation and its Articles provide for authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company is a natural resources holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in (i) the exploration, development and production of oil and gas; (ii) the exploration for naturally occurring minerals; (iii) the marketing and sales of such minerals; and (iv) the marketing and sales of patented products and processes utilizing the Company’s minerals.  The Company's assets consist of two separate categories: oil and gas and non-metallic minerals. The Company’s wholly-owned active subsidiaries include Westlands Resources Corporation, Deven Resources, Inc., DRI Operating Company, Inc., Clean Age Minerals, Inc. and CA Properties, Inc.

Clean Age Minerals, Inc., through its subsidiary, CA Properties, Inc. (collectively “CAMI”), owns fee interests, leasehold interests and federal mining claims containing non-metallic minerals (kaolin and zeolite) in the states of New Mexico, Texas and Utah. CAMI is presently engaged in the exploration for such minerals and intends to mine the minerals through the use of contract miners and arrangements with its joint venture partners. CAMI also owns the CA Series Patented Process which utilizes many of the minerals owned by or under lease to CAMI for the cleansing, decontamination and remediation of air, water and soils.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, Westland Resources Corporation, DRI Operating Company and Deven Resources, Inc., owns and operates oil and gas properties in Texas and West Virginia. The Company owns (a) working interests in wells in Texas and West Virginia and (b) overriding royalty interests in (i) seventy wells in the Deerlick Coalbed Methane Field in Alabama and (ii) two wells in Pennsylvania and (iii) one well in Texas.

In February 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of wastewaters. Such patents utilize the Company’s zeolite.  The license applies to the US and covers the use of the patented technology in water, wastewater and waste treatment in animal feed operations, agriculture, and aquaculture. In addition, the license applies to the treatment of sanitary wastewater on Federal facilities, military bases and lands administered by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs.

 
-7-

 
 
The Company is primarily engaged in the exploration for minerals and oil and gas activities.  We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standard Board, commonly referred to as “FASB”. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, sometimes referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC”.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. For further information, these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K (“2010 Annual Report”).

Unless otherwise noted, references to “year” pertain to the Company’s fiscal year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30; for example, 2011 refers to fiscal 2011, which is the period from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

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

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s only financial instruments are (a) cash, securities available for future sale, and short-term trade receivables, payables and debt, and (b) a long-term note payable to a bank. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, securities available for future sale, and short-term trade receivables, payables and debt approximate fair values because of the immediate nature of short-term maturities of these financial instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for long-term bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying amount of long-term and short-term bank debt totaling $43,161 approximates fair value at December 31, 2010.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Standards

There were no recently issued accounting pronouncements that impact our consolidated financial statements.

4. MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company is an exploration stage company in respect to its mineral holdings.

During October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications including but not limited to feed supplements and soil additives in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US.

In December 2009, the proposed Sierra Kaolin Open Pit Clay Mine project cleared the regulatory review process and the project’s definitive USDA Forest Service Plan of Operations was approved. This will facilitate the project moving to the next phases, including site preparation for extraction operations and the continued evaluation of potential product specific marketing arrangements with certain third parties.
 
The Company previously amortized its mineral properties at a nominal amortization rate as the Company has not produced commercial quantities of any of its mineral deposits. Once the Company produces commercial quantities of any of its mineral deposits, the Company will use the unit-of-production method in calculating cost depletion.

Zia Trust Obligation

During fiscal 2010, the Company borrowed $50,000 from Zia Trust, Inc., an entity affiliated with a Director of the Company. The note bears interest at 15% per annum and is due on demand on or before July 15, 2012. The Company pledged a certificate of deposit at a bank (“CD”) as collateral for the note. The CD has a balance of $54,868 which is included in cash and equivalents at December 31, 2010. In October 2010, the Company paid $10,000 on the note (principal of $8,125 and interest of $1,875). As of December 31, 2010, the principal balance due on the note was $41,875 (included in Notes Payable – Related Parties in the accompanying Balance Sheet) and accrued but unpaid interest on the note totals $1,384.
 
6. 7.25% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, no Debentures were purchased or converted.

Debentures totaling $30,000 are outstanding at December 31, 2010. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a discount of $12,857 on the Debentures resulting from the beneficial conversion feature. The discount is being amortized through the maturity date of the Debentures. Such discount was determined based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock in excess of the conversion price per share as of the commitment date to purchase the Debentures. During the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized contractual coupon interest of $549 and $47, respectively, and amortization of the discount of $693 and $144, respectively. Such amounts are included in interest expense. The effective interest rate for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 17% and 16%, respectively. The if-converted value of the Debentures at December 31, 2010 approximates the principal amount of the Debentures.

Stock-based Compensation

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, no options to purchase shares of Common Stock were granted. There are options to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2010, which options are held by current officers, Directors and employees of the Company (“Insiders”).  The exercise prices for the options held by Insiders range from $0.21 per share to $0.67 per share.
 
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $16,720 and $9,419, respectively, relating to stock options granted to Insiders. Such expense is included in General and Administrative Expenses. No tax benefit has been recognized. Compensation costs are based on the fair value at the grant date.  The fair value of the options has been estimated by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rates between 2.43% and 4.16%; expected life of three to seven years; and expected volatility between 37% and 106%.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock were outstanding during the periods but have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the 7.25% Convertible Debentures (see Note 6) have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share. No other adjustments were made for purposes of per share calculations.

Payment of Accrued Dividends
 
There were no cash dividend payments in respect to either series of Preferred Stock during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

8. INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2010, the Company has current federal and state taxes payable of $192,427 and no deferred tax asset or liability.  The Company has accrued $105,068 at December 31, 2010, for interest related to the federal and state income taxes.  The income tax liabilities arose primarily from alternative minimum tax for fiscal 2004. Interest expense related to tax liabilities is included in Interest Expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at September 30, 2010, operating loss carryforwards of approximately $25 million, which may be applied against future taxable income and will expire in various years through 2025. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined at this time. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards; therefore, no net deferred tax asset has been recognized. No potential benefit of these losses has been recognized in the financial statements. The company may be subject to IRC code section 382 which could limit the amount of the net operating loss and tax credit carryovers that can be used in future years.

Below is a reconciliation of the reported amount of income tax expense attributable to continuing operations for the period to the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory tax rates to pretax loss for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

9. PENDING LITIGATION

During October 2009, a working interest owner commenced an action against a subsidiary of the Company (“WRC”) in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, for an accounting of expense and revenues for six wells.  WRC, through its Texas counsel, has filed a general denial of the claim.  In November 2009, WRC provided the plaintiff with a complete accounting for all wells in question. The plaintiff has sought additional discovery and WRC has provided additional information. The action is ongoing.

During September 2010, a complaint was filed against WRC in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, seeking judgment in respect to $92,921 owed to a vendor of WRC. Such amount is included in Accounts Payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2010. In November 2010, the vendor agreed to dismiss its complaint against WRC after a settlement agreement was reached whereby WRC made an initial payment of $30,000 in cash and delivered of 357,677 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (consideration to the vendor of $42,921). The Company must retire the remaining obligation by March 1, 2011. The remaining obligation of $20,000 is included in Accounts Payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized $7,154 of interest expense relating to the fair value of the shares of its Common Stock issued to such vendor.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 12, 2011, an unrelated entity loaned the Company $60,000. The note requires monthly payments of principal and interest (5.5%) totaling $2,645. The maturity date of such loan is January 12, 2012, with a scheduled final payment of $33,469. The Company used the proceeds to satisfy certain delinquent payables. In connection with this loan, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 2015.

On February 2, 2011, the Company issued Debentures totaling $15,000 to a Director of the Company.

Management performed an evaluation of Company activity through February 21, 2011, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued, and concluded that there are no other significant subsequent events requiring disclosure.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
OVERVIEW
 
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") describes the matters that we consider to be important in understanding the results of our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and our financial condition as of December 31, 2010. Our fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. Unless otherwise noted, references to "year" pertain to our fiscal year; for example, 2011 refers to fiscal 2011, which is the period from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011. In the discussion that follows, we analyze the results of our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010, including the trends in our overall business, followed by a discussion of our financial condition.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, all included elsewhere in this report. The forward-looking statements in this section and other parts of this report involve risks and uncertainties including statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, and financial performance. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements."

OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

Oil and Gas Sales
 
Oil and Gas Sales increased to $89,025 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from $79,252 for three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in such sales is primarily a result of the increase in oil and gas prices. The level of oil and gas production experienced during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 has been hampered as certain wells are “off-line” for repair and declines in the producing gas-oil ratio from certain producing wells operated by the Company in Texas.

Well Management Revenue

Well Management Revenue increased to $71,440 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from $66,148 for three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes

Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes increased to $52,193 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from $46,223 for three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes per Mcfe is primarily the result of the increase in such expenses and costs.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization - Oil and Gas

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) – Oil and Gas totaled $25,350 and $32,850 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Such decrease is primarily the result of the upward revision of proved developed reserves at the end of fiscal 2010 resulting primarily from the increase in oil and gas prices which the Company receives for its oil and gas production.

MINERALS OPERATIONS

The Company is an Exploration Stage company in respect to its mineral holdings.  In December 2009, the proposed Sierra Kaolin Open Pit Clay Mine project cleared the regulatory review process and the project’s definitive USDA Forest Service Plan of Operations was approved. This will facilitate the project moving to the next phases, including site preparation for extraction operations and the continued evaluation of potential product specific marketing arrangements with certain third parties.

Minerals Sales

Minerals sales totaled $6,605 and $3,506 during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications including but not limited to feed supplements and soil additives in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US. The Company made initial shipments during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Minerals Exploration Expenses

The Company did not incur minerals exploration expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These expenses are primarily for costs associated with the exploration and quantification of mineral resources and mineral reserves. Such expenses related to the kaolin reserves were the responsibility of the Company’s partner.

Minerals Operating Expenses and Other Costs

Minerals operating expenses and other costs totaled $7,291 and $2,249 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in quantities sold and minimum payments required by a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of wastewaters entered into on February 4, 2010. The license applies to the US and covers the use of the technology in water, wastewater and waste treatment in animal feed operations, agriculture, and aquaculture. In addition, the license applies to the treatment of sanitary wastewater on Federal facilities, military bases and lands administered by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization - Minerals

DD&A - Minerals totaled $147,771 and $145,030 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Such amounts include amortization of Patent Rights and Patents License Rights of $147,771 and $144,363 in the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION - OTHER

DD&A - Other totaled $1,307 and $1,642 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled $209,607 and $182,963 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $16,720 and $9,419 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense totaled $68,289 and $53,824 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized $549 of contractual coupon interest and $693 of amortization of the discount relating to the 7.25% Convertible Debentures. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $47 of contractual coupon interest and $144 of amortization of the discount relating to the Debentures as discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized $7,154 of interest expense relating to the issuance of its Common Stock as discussed in Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash flow used in operating activities was $39,114 and $94,019 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Funds have been and are being deployed in efforts to enhance the commercial viability of the Company’s existing resource assets, to identify potential expansion opportunities and to retire obligations associated with the Company’s assets. The Company’s cash and equivalents at December 31, 2010 was $89,701.

Liquidity is a measure of a Company’s ability to access cash.  The Company has historically addressed its long-term liquidity requirements through the issuance of equity securities and borrowings or debt financing for certain activities.

At present, the Company does not have in place a credit facility or other line of credit upon which it may draw. As operating activities increase, the Company will evaluate the need for such a credit facility.   For desired acquisitions or project enhancements, the Company must seek project specific financing.  None of the Company’s properties are encumbered.

The prices the Company receives for its oil and gas and the level of production have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flows. The Company is unable to predict, with any degree of certainty the prices the Company will receive for its future oil and gas production and the success of the Company’s exploration, exploitation and production activities. Increases in the sales of the Company’s minerals, which to date have not been mined in substantial commercial quantities, will also affect cash flow.

In an effort to address the liquidity shortfall, the Company continues its cost containment procedures which have included staff decreases, sold certain of its oil and gas properties, and is evaluating the sale of certain additional oil and gas properties. It may take months and possibly longer to sell these properties at a suitable price. The market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell a property for the price or on terms acceptable to us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of any property.

In June 2010, the Company sold its interests in nineteen undeveloped acres in Harrison County, Texas for $60,686.

During June 2009, the Company offered a Private Placement under the provisions of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “2009 Private Placement”). Private Placement consists of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of 7.25% Convertible Debentures (“Debentures” or “Debenture”).  The Debentures offered by the Company, are five (5) year instruments maturing on July 30, 2014, bearing interest at seven and one quarter percent (7.25 %) per annum on the balance outstanding from time to time.  Interest will commence to accrue immediately upon issuance of the Debentures and will be paid quarterly on each September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, which the Debentures are outstanding.  Payment of principal will commence on September 30 following the second anniversary of the Closing Date of this Offering. The debentures are convertible at a conversion price equal to the greater of either $0.14 per share or an amount equal to 80% of the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  The Company has extended the offering period for the Debentures until March 31, 2011. Through December 31, 2010, this private placement raised $195,000 (net of fees and expenses) for the Company. The Company is utilizing the proceeds of this private placement for general working capital purposes.

Through September 30, 2009, all of the purchasers of the Debentures elected to immediately convert such holdings into shares of Common Stock at an average conversion price of $0.14 per share and, accordingly, the Company issued 1,019,465 shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2009, this private placement had raised $128,500 (net of fees and expenses totaling $14,225) for the Company.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued Debentures totaling $66,500. Purchasers of $36,500 of the Debentures elected to immediately convert such holdings into Common Stock and the Company issued 221,134 shares of Common Stock at an average conversion price of $0.17 per share.

In November 2010, the Company issued 357,677 shares of its Common Stock (consideration to the vendor of $42,921) in partial payment of a delinquent payable due a vendor of a subsidiary of the Company.

The Company did not issue any Debentures during the three months ended December 31, 2010. On February 2, 2011, the Company issued Debentures totaling $15,000 to a Director of the Company.

On January 12, 2011, an unrelated party loaned the Company $60,000. The note requires monthly payments of principal and interest (5.5%) totaling $2,645. The maturity date of such loan is January 12, 2012, with a scheduled final payment of $33,469.The Company used the proceeds to satisfy certain delinquent payables. In connection with this loan, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 2015.

Commercialization of Existing Assets

The Company believes that its proved undeveloped reserves (“PUDs”) will be developed within the next few years as a result of renewed interest in the area of its properties. The increase in oil price and development of properties in resource plays in the immediate area are major factors contributing to such interest. To obtain the capital necessary to develop the PUDs, the Company (i) continues to seek project specific funding commitments and other capital funding alternatives and (2) is evaluating the sale of certain oil and gas producing properties.

The Company continues to pursue plans to commercialize its kaolin and zeolite projects which are critical for the Company to achieve profitability and establishing the Company as a market innovator in industrial minerals. Those plans have progressed from the data acquisition and analysis phase into ongoing mineral processing and facility design phase. The Company and its current partner and potential other partners are actively investigating various commercial applications for its mineral based products. The Company continues to focus on establishing business and or financial relationships that will provide the necessary capital to effectively exploit its kaolin and zeolite mineral resource holdings.

Zeolite

Certain initial small scale tests have progressed to the point where larger scalable pilot tests of commercial applications for zeolite are in progress in respect to soil additives and animal waste treatment.

In October, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications limited to feed supplements in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US. The Company made initial shipments during fiscal 2010.

In February 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of wastewaters. Such patents utilize the Company’s zeolite. The license applies to the US and covers the use of the technology in water, wastewater and waste treatment in animal feed operations, agriculture, and aquaculture. In addition, the license applies to the treatment of sanitary wastewater on Federal facilities, military bases and lands administered by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Company issued 140,000 shares of its Common Stock in consideration for the License Agreement.  The Company recorded $40,907 as Patents License Rights based on an average price of $0.29 per share.
 
Kaolin

The efforts of the Company and Tecumseh Professional Associates LLC to evaluate the Sierra Kaolin deposit are progressing. The venture’s efforts to commercialize the Sierra Kaolin deposit have focused on an initial target area encompassing approximately 32 acres out of the project’s 2,740 acres. The test minerals extracted from the target area have been processed into product formulations determined by independent consultants to be suitable (a) for coatings, fillers and pigments for use within the paint and paper manufacturing industries, and (b) as an additive in cement formulations. The analysis results of the processed minerals with respect to its physical properties including brightness, color, opacity, strength, and oil absorption have indicated that commercially viable products can be produced from the deposit’s extracted minerals.

The venture, with the assistance of its consultants, has begun technical presentations of the product formulations to entities active on both the demand and supply sides of the coatings, fillers and pigments sectors of the paint and paper industries. Preliminary feedback from these initial presentations has been encouraging and has led to follow-up discussions and submission of product samples for prospective application testing. The final results of these inquiries and testing are expected over the next several months. Tecumseh, as the project’s manager, is proceeding with its efforts to prepare the mineral deposit site for production. In December 2009, the proposed Sierra Kaolin Open Pit Clay Mine project cleared the regulatory review process and the project’s definitive USDA Forest Service Plan of Operations was approved. This extraction permit will facilitate the project moving to the next phases, including site preparation for extraction operations and the continued evaluation of potential product specific marketing arrangements with certain third parties.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no “off-balance sheet arrangements” and does not expect to enter into any such arrangements in the foreseeable future.

None.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

On December 31, 2010, the Company had two employees and engaged the Chief Accounting Officer on a consulting basis.  All day-to-day financial matters are overseen by the Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer with oversight by the Board of Directors.  All contracting by the Company, for other than everyday items, is done with the approval of the entire Board of Directors.

In light of the size of the Company, its limited cash flow and the transparency of its actions, the Company has instituted a limited number of formal controls and procedures in addition to those required under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 related to the composition of its Board of Directors and the establishment of various Board Committees. These policies include an Employee Manual outlining procedures relating but not limited to employee dispute resolution and issues related to “controlled substances” and policies in handling the recordation and transfer of funds. Any problem which cannot be resolved internally or which an employee does not desire to discuss with a superior may be discussed with counsel or an independent member of the Board of Directors.

The Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, established, consistent with the provisions of Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) of the '34 Act, a procedure and check list for the filing of all information and reports required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"). Since the Company employs only two people, as of the filing date, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer is responsible for reporting and filing reports. In addition to the mandatory filing requirements established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, OTC:BB (the exchange on which the Registrant's stock is traded) and SOX, the Registrant has taken the position that any transaction that could impact the value of the Company or the Company's stock by five percent or greater requires disclosure. All press releases are published by the Company only after submittal to the Board of Directors and counsel for review, comment and approval.

The Company's internal controls over financial reporting and record maintenance have been developed by the Company as approved by the Board of Directors.  These procedures are for the detailed and accurate recordation of all transactions in which the Company is involved and the disposition of assets. They provide reasonable assurance that the transactions recorded permit the accurate preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals and that receipt and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management.  The controls provide reasonable assurances regarding the prevention and timely detection of unauthorized use of Company assets and acquisition or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics (see Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007) for all of the Company's employees, officers and Directors.  Each officer and Director of the Company annually affirms that he has read the Company’s Code of Ethics and agrees to be bound thereby.

Private Placement consists of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of 7.25% Convertible Debentures (“Debentures” or “Debenture”).  The Debentures offered by the Company, are five (5) year instruments maturing on July 30, 2014, bearing interest at seven and one quarter percent (7.25 %) per annum on the balance outstanding from time to time.  Interest will commence to accrue immediately upon issuance of the Debentures and will be paid quarterly on each September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, which the Debentures are outstanding.  Payment of principal will commence on September 30 following the second anniversary of the Closing Date of this Offering. The debentures are convertible at a conversion price equal to the greater of either $0.14 per share or an amount equal to 80% of the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Common Stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  The Company has extended the offering period for the Debentures until March 31, 2011. Through December 31, 2010, this private placement raised $195,000 (net of fees and expenses) for the Company. The Company is utilizing the proceeds of this private placement for general working capital purposes.

Through September 30, 2009, all of the purchasers of the Debentures elected to immediately convert such holdings into shares of Common Stock at an average conversion price of $0.14 per share and, accordingly, the Company issued 1,019,465 shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2009, this private placement had raised $128,500 (net of fees and expenses totaling $14,225) for the Company.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued Debentures totaling $66,500. Purchasers of $36,500 of the Debentures elected to immediately convert such holdings into Common Stock and the Company issued 221,134 shares of Common Stock at an average conversion price of $0.17 per share.
