Zoro Mining Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2011
Amounts Expressed in U.S. Dollars
(Unaudited - Prepared by Management)

1.	Nature of Operations and Basis of Consolidation

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 20, 2004 as Rochdale Mining Corporation. Effective on March 19, 2007, solely for the purposes of effecting a name change, the Company (as Rochdale Mining Corporation), merged with a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Zoro Mining Corp., pursuant to Articles of Merger that the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger was in the form of a parent/ subsidiary merger, with the Company as the surviving corporation. Upon completion of the merger, the Company's name was changed to "Zoro Mining Corp." and the Company's Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.

The Company's common shares trade on the United States OTC Bulletin Board and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property payments are initially capitalized in accordance with the ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced as EITF 04-2 when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities - Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment at each fiscal quarter end. The Company has determined that all property payments are impaired and accordingly has written off the acquisition costs to project expense.

Share Splits

On February 9, 2007 the Company increased the number of shares of the Company's authorized share capital and correspondingly increased the number of its issued and outstanding common shares on a thirty-six (36) new shares for one (1) old share basis. As a result, the Company's authorized share capital was increased from 100,000,000 common shares to 3,600,000,000 common shares, and the Company's issued and outstanding common stock was increased from 6,012,500 common shares to 216,450,000 common shares.

On April 22, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the state of Nevada to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company's authorized share capital on the basis of one new common share for twenty old common shares. As a result, as of April 22, 2009, the Company's authorized share capital decreased from 3,600,000,000 shares of common stock to 180,000,000 shares of common stock and its issued and outstanding share capital decreased from 86,900,400 shares of common stock to 4,345,020 shares of common stock.

All references to the number of common shares issued and outstanding have been restated to give retroactive effect to the stock splits, unless otherwise noted.

1.	Nature of Operations and Basis of Consolidation, continued

Principles of Consolidation

The Company has incorporated three wholly-owned subsidiaries in each of Peru (Zoro Mining SAC, dba "Zoro Peru"), Chile (Sociedad Zoro Chile Limitada, dba "Zoro Chile"), and Mexico (Aravena Mexicana, SA, dba "Zoro Mexico") to beneficially hold property titles in each country. These financial statements include the accounts of Zoro Mining Corp., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Zoro Peru, Zoro Chile, and Zoro Mexico (collectively the "Company"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

2.	Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, the continued support of related party creditors, to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company's interests in the underlying properties, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations. As at January 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated losses of $20,275,691 since inception and has a working capital deficiency of $3,392,356. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In conjunction with the April 22, 2009 reverse share consolidation, the Company plans to finance its activities utilizing debt and equity instruments that should be more favorably received by the investment community due to the corporate restructuring. On August 17, 2009 the Company settled some of its existing debts with equity in order to reduce current liabilities and improve the overall financial condition of the Company.

6.	Convertible and Promissory Notes

Convertible Notes

On October 31, 2008, the Company issued a $200,000 6% convertible note with a term to January 31, 2011 convertible into units at $3.20 per unit for a period of two years. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $5 per share for a two year term from the date of conversion. The convertible debt was allocated between its debt and equity components on a relative fair value basis with the fair value of the debt portion ($115,974) being determined based on an estimated fair value discount rate of 15% and the fair value of the equity portion ($84,026) being determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model for the embedded share and warrant issuable upon conversion, and utilizing an expected life of 2 years, a risk free interest rate average of 1.56%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected volatility of 140%. On January 31, 2010, the parties to the convertible note changed the conversion rights of accrued interest and principal to enable conversion by the holder at the rate of US$0.40 per post consolidation share without the requirement for issuance of warrants on conversion. The Company will record further interest expense above the stated 6% per annum rate over the term of the convertible note of $84,026 resulting from the difference between the stated value and carrying value at the date of issuance using the effective interest rate method. At January 31, 2011, $154,792 in accretion interest has been recorded corresponding to an aggregate convertible note carrying value at that date of $228,091.

As at April 30, 2010, the gross value of the guarantee was $212,774. The lessee has defaulted on the lease and subsequently moved offices. The potential liability, if any, as a result of the lessee's default due to joint and severable provisions relating to the lease guarantee is presently not determinable, and the Company has not been advised of the results, if any of negotiations by the lessee to settle this potential liability with the landlord.

On January 20, 2010 a vendor entered into a contract with the Company to provide financing and capital markets advisory services with the goal of raising equity funding for the Company.

In addition, the Company has agreed to issue the vendor share purchase warrants equal to 10% of the securities sold in such equity financing at a price of $0.70 and expiry date which is 3 years from the issue date. In the event the vendor secures debt financing, the fees paid to the vendor are as follows; 8% of the first $2,000,000, plus 6% of proceeds between, $2,000,001 and $7,000,000 if any, plus 4% of proceeds in excess of $7,000,000 if any. Subsequent to January 31, 2011 the Company formally terminated this agreement.

The Company has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2010, with two vending parties to acquire a 100% interest in three property mineral exploration concessions covering approximately 1,500 hectares as an extension to the Company's existing Yura gold prospect located 30 kilometers west of Arequipa, Peru (the "Fortuna Properties").

9. Subsequent Events

The following is a list of events subsequent to January 31, 2011 and not previously discussed in the notes.

On February 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an unrelated party providing for the issuance of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $42,500 and bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% and maturing nine months after the date of issuance (the "Note"). The holder has the right to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the Note at any time between the date that is six months from the date of issuance and the date of maturity. The conversion price will be determined by multiplying the "Market Price" by 58% representing a 42% discount. The Market Price will be determined by taking the average of the lowest 3 trading prices in the ten days preceding the conversion date. The issuer has the right to prepay the aggregate of the principal and interest (the "Total") of and retire the Note by paying 130% of the Total within 60 days of issuance, 135% of the Total between the 61^st and 90^th day following the date of issue, 140% of the Total between the 91^st and 120^th day following the date of issue, 150% of the Total between the 121^st and 180^th day following the date of issue, and 175% of the Total between the 181^st day and the date of maturity,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview of our Business

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 20, 2004 under the name "Rochdale Mining Corp". Effective March 19, 2007, we merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Zoro Mining Corp., pursuant to Articles of Merger filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger was in the form of a parent/subsidiary merger with Rochdale Mining Corp. as the surviving corporation. Upon completion of the merger, our corporate name was changed to "Zoro Mining Corp." and our Articles of Incorporation were amended to reflect this name change. Our shares of common stock are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "ZORM.OB".

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties located in South America and Mexico. We have not established any proven or probable reserves on our mineral property interests. To date, we have been engaged primarily in organizational activities and have engaged in minimal initial exploration at several of our projects, including exploratory drilling at one of our properties located in Chile. We plan to conduct exploration programs on our properties with the objective of ascertaining whether any of our properties contain economic concentrations of minerals that are prospective for mining. As such, we are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility of our properties is determined. We have no known reserves of gold, copper, platinum or any other type of mineral on our properties.

Subsidiaries

During May 2007 through July 2007 and in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations in Chile, Peru and Mexico, we incorporated three wholly-owned subsidiaries in Chile, Peru and Mexico as follows: Sociedad Zoro Chile Limitada, in Chile; Zoro Mining SAC, in Peru; and Aravena Mexicana, SA in Mexico. We have completed property transfers in Chile, and have prepared for the transfer of title to our property interests in Peru to Zoro Mining SAC pending payment of required fees. Property transfers in Mexico are pending from Aravena Internacional SA to Aravena Mexicana SA pending the payment of required fees.

Current Business Operations

We are a natural resource exploration company currently engaged in the exploration and acquisition of property located in South America and Mexico. We plan to conduct exploration programs on our properties with the objective of ascertaining whether any of our properties contain economic concentrations of minerals that are prospective for mining. We currently have interests in an aggregate of approximately 34,215 acres located in Chile, approximately 5,224 acres in Peru, and a further 6,822 acres located in Mexico, targeting gold, copper and platinum.

- 15 -

Our current acreage and location of our property is summarized as follows:

Location	Project	Exploration Target	Concession Hectares/Acres
Sonora, Mexico	The Las Animas Project	Gold, Copper	2,761/6,822
Chile, South America	The Escondida Project	Gold, Platinum	2,050/5,063
Chile, South America	Don Beno Project	Gold, Copper	5,900/14,574
Chile, South America	Sierra Fritis Project	Gold, Copper	2,300/5,683
Chile, South America	Piedra Parada Project	Gold, platinum group metals	3,600/8,895(1)(2)
Peru, South America	The Yura Project	Gold	2,114/5,224⁽³⁾
		Total Net Hectares/Acres:	18,725/46,261

^{(1)         Gareste Limitada, the vendor at Piedra Parada, owned and conveyed to Zoro senior concession rights on over 2,100 hectares (5,189 acres), and also conveyed overstaked concessions on 1,500 additional hectares (3,706 acres) which are subject to the senior rights of a third party.

^{(2)         All concessions at Piedra Parada owned by Zoro are subject to pre-existing contractual rights granted from Gareste to a third-party to extract and exploit lithium, light metals and commercial salts.

^{(3)        Yura Project interests have been executed for transfer by the vendors and have been submitted to Zoro's Peruvian subsidiary's (Zoro Mining SAC) property transfer notary to complete the transfer, pending the payment of required fees. Zoro will also obtain a 100% interest in the Fortuna claims at Yura (an additional 1,497 hectares) when it closes the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 23, 2010.

The Company's properties are discussed in greater detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's fiscal year ended April 30, 2010.  The Company has been concentrating its exploration initiatives primarily in Peru on its Yura gold prospect and in Chile on its Don Beno gold and copper project and its Escondida gold and platinum project.

By resolutions dated July 16, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the release and dropping of the Costa Rica and Rio Sur concessions in Chile. These properties, which were and are not material to the Company, in the aggregate covered 3,100 hectares (7,637 acres).

Results of Operations

We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenue to date. We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

The summarized financial data set forth in the table below is derived from and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 and January 31, 2010, including the notes to those financial statements which are included 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.

Nine month period ended January 31, 2011 Compared to Nine month period ended January 31, 2010.

During the nine month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not generate any revenue.

During the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, we incurred expenses of $1,385,459 compared to $10,835,373 incurred during the nine month period ended January 31, 2010 (a decrease of $9,449,914). These expenses incurred during the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 and January 31, 2010 consisted of: (i) depreciation of $43,996 (2010: $78,347); (ii) filing and transfer agent fees of $13,257 (2010: $8,047); (iii) management and administration fees of $443,479 (2010: $386,134); (iv) mineral exploration costs of $316,693 (2010: $445,427); (v) office and general of $110,868 (2010: $64,974); (vi) professional fees of $70,085 (2010: $43,478); (vii) interest expense of $148,451 (2010: $97,518); (viii) investor relations of $238,630 (2010: $11,450); and (ix) impairment of mineral properties of $nil (2010: $9,699,998).  Total expenses incurred during the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 decreased compared to the nine month period ended January 31, 2010 primarily due a charge to impairment of mineral properties in 2010 and lower mineral explorations costs in 2011, offset by higher investor relations expense, interest expense, office and general expense, and management and administration fees in 2011.

Our net loss for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 was $1,385,459 compared to a net loss of $10,835,373 during the nine month period ended January 31, 2010 (a decrease of $9,449,914).  Our net loss during the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 was $0.05 per share compared to a net loss $1.00 per share during the nine month period ended January 31, 2010. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 28,499,362 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 compared to 10,844,314 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.

Three month period ended January 31, 2011 Compared to Three month period ended January 31, 2010.

During the three month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not generate any revenue.

During the three month period ended January 31, 2011, we incurred expenses of $440,393 compared to $10,067,967 incurred during the three month period ended January 31, 2010 (a decrease of $9,627,574). These expenses incurred during the three month period ended January 31, 2011 and January 31, 2010 consisted of: (i) depreciation of $14,537 (2010: $25,819); (ii) filing and transfer agent fees of $3,151 (2010: $2,224); (iii) management and administration fees of $140,472 (2010: $135,868); (iv) mineral exploration costs of $98,540 (2010: $121,190); (v) office and general of $23,632 (2010: $21,966); (vi) professional fees of $5,576 (2010: $17,197); (vii) interest expense of $31,986 (2010: $33,705); (viii) investor relations of $122,499 (2010: $10,000); and (ix) impairment of mineral properties of $nil (2010: $9,699,998).  Total expenses incurred during the three month period ended January 31, 2011 decreased compared to the three month period ended January 31, 2010 primarily due a charge to impairment of mineral properties in 2010 and lower mineral explorations costs in 2011, offset by higher investor relations expense in 2011.

Our net loss for the three month period ended January 31, 2011 was $440,393 compared to a net loss of $10,067,967 during the three month period ended January 31, 2010 (a decrease of $9,627,574).  Our net loss during the three month period ended January 31, 2011 was $0.02 per share compared to a net loss $0.50 per share during the three month period ended January 31, 2010. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 28,651,536 for the three month period ended January 31, 2011 compared to 20,286,101 for the three month period ended January 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, our current assets were $73,915 and our current liabilities were $3,466,271, which resulted in a working capital deficiency of $3,392,356. As at the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, current assets were comprised of $8,169 in cash, $56,668 in prepaid expenses, and $9,078 in other receivables.

The decrease in total assets during the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in cash and equipment, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses.

As at the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, our total liabilities were $3,466,271 comprised of $3,466,271 in current liabilities, compared to total liabilities of $2,288,011 as of our fiscal year ended April 30, 2010.  The increase in liabilities during the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 resulted from increased liabilities related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, convertible note, and amounts due to related parties.

Net cash flows used in operating activities was further changed by a decrease of $6,072 in other receivables, an increase in amounts due to related parties of $551,743 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $247,486.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We did not have any cash flows from investing activities for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 or for the nine month period ended January 31, 2010.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We have financed our operations primarily from either advances or the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $84,874 compared to $222,600 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2010. Cash flows from financing activities for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011 consisted of $84,874 from the issuance promissory notes. Cash flows from financing activities for the nine month period ended January 31, 2010 consisted of $86,000 from the issuance of  promissory notes and $136,600 from the issuance of common stock.

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities, debt instruments, and related party loans or advances. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to focus on the exploration of our Don Beno, Escondida and Yura properties.  In particular, in terms of priority, we intend to pursue the recommended Phase I exploration program at the Yura property, and, pending sufficient funding, the programs at the other two projects. We anticipate that we will require a total of approximately $1,720,000 for our plan of operations over the next twelve months, as follows:

(a)      approximately $720,000 in the aggregate for the Phase I exploration programs at each of the Don Beno, Escondida and Yura properties; and

(b)      approximately $1,000,000 for management and administration fees, professional fees, and other general expenses over the next twelve months.

At January 31, 2011, we had cash of $8,169 and a working capital deficit of $3,392,356.  During the twelve month period following the date of this report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations for and beyond the next twelve months.  Management anticipates that further advances and debt instruments, and equity private placements will be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity to third parties, and debt instruments from related and non-related parties.

We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock, issuance of debt, advances or otherwise to fund our exploration programs going forward. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining financing to fund our exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

Material Commitments

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the agreements discussed below summarize our material commitments.

Mineral Property Acquisition Agreements

In accordance with the terms and conditions of a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement dated April 12, 2007 and effective on May 7, 2007 (the "Option Agreement"), as entered into among us and each of Eduardo Esteffan M., Fresia Sepulveda H., Eduardo Esteffan S., Gretchen Esteffan S., Claudio Esteffan S. and Integrity Capital Group, LLC (collectively, the "Vendors"), the Vendors granted to us the sole and exclusive option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% undivided legal, beneficial and registerable interest in and to six separate unencumbered mineral property interests totaling approximately 39,787 gross acres located in Chile, Peru and Mexico and targeting potential gold, copper and platinum group prospects (collectively, the "Property").

In order to complete the acquisition of the Property, three wholly-owned subsidiaries in each of Peru, Chile and Mexico were incorporated by us to beneficially hold property titles in each country in order to comply with all applicable laws relating thereto. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, all properties have been transferred to our wholly-owned subsidiary in Chile, while Peru Property related interests have been executed for transfer by the Vendors and have been submitted to Zoro's Peruvian subsidiary's (Zoro Mining SAC) property transfer notary to complete the transfer, pending the payment of required fees. Property transfers in Mexico are pending from Aravena Internacional SA to Aravena Mexicana SA in Mexico pending the payment of required fees.  In order to complete the acquisition of the Property, we further caused one of our existing founding shareholders to sell an aggregate of 35,500,000 restricted shares of Common Stock held of record by such shareholder to the Vendors at an aggregate purchase price of U.S. $0.00001 per common share.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have paid and will continue to pay to, or on the Vendors' behalf, all underlying regulatory, maintenance, and governmental payments and assessment work required to keep the mineral property interests comprising the Property and any underlying option agreements respecting any of the mineral property interests comprising the Property in good standing through the calendar year of 2010.

The Company has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2010, with two vending parties to acquire a 100% interest in three property mineral exploration concessions covering approximately 1,500 hectares as an extension to the Company's existing Yura gold prospect located 30 kilometers west of Arequipa, Peru (the "Fortuna Properties"). The Fortuna Properties target precious metals and are comprised of three concessions that are accessible year round via paved highway and improved roads. The Company's VP Business Development and Chairman is an indirect minority shareholder of one of the vending parties. The closing of the agreement to purchase the Fortuna Properties has not occurred as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

Subject to final due diligence and other customary closing conditions for the Fortuna Properties, the Company plans to (i) issue 6,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the Vending Parties; (ii) pay to the Vending Parties $100,000 prior to the closing of the acquisition, $125,000 at the closing date, and $100,000 nine months from the closing date; and (iii) grant to the Vending Parties, a 2.5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the proceeds of any production from the Fortuna Properties capped at $20,000,000, 1.5% of which can be repurchased by the Company at any time before commencement of any production for the sum of $8,000,000. The NSR also calls for an advance minimum yearly payment of $100,000 to the Vending Parties, which amounts are credited against any royalties ultimately payable.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2011 the Company has received payments totaling $18,000 from Pan American.

Convertible and Promissory Notes

On October 31, 2008, the Company issued a $200,000 6% convertible note with a term to January 31, 2011 convertible into units at $3.20 per unit for a period of two years.  Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable for at $5 per share for a two year term from the date of conversion. The convertible debt was allocated between its debt and equity components on a relative fair value basis with the fair value of the debt portion ($115,974) being determined based on an estimated fair value discount rate of 15% and the fair value of the equity portion ($84,026) being determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model for the embedded share and warrant issuable upon conversion, and utilizing an expected life of 2 years, a risk free interest rate average of 1.56%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected volatility of 140%.  On January 31, 2010, the parties to the convertible note changed the conversion rights of accrued interest and principal to enable conversion by the holder at the rate of US$0.40 per post consolidation share without the requirement for issuance of warrants on conversion. The Company will record further interest expense above the stated 6% per annum rate over the term of the convertible note of $84,026 resulting from the difference between the stated value and carrying value at the date of issuance using the effective interest rate method.  At January 31, 2011, $154,792 in accretion interest has been recorded corresponding to an aggregate convertible note carrying value at that date of $228,091.

On February 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an unrelated party providing for the issuance of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $42,500 and bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% and maturing nine months after the date of issuance (the "Note"). The holder has the right to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the Note at any time between the date that is six months from the date of issuance and the date of maturity. The conversion price will be determined by multiplying the "Market Price" by 58% representing a 42% discount.

Lease Agreement Guarantor

We have guaranteed the remaining lease term at previous premises previously occupied in Tucson.  The Company is a guarantor of a lease agreement effective September, 1, 2007 that obligates the Company under conditions of default by a previously related party lessee (a company which at the time had one director in common with the Company), to pay for the entire lease relating to the Company's Tucson office until the end of the lease term through January 31, 2011 or as amended or renewed. As at April 30, 2010, the gross value of the guarantee was $212,774. The lessee has defaulted on the lease and the lessee subsequently moved offices. The potential liability, if any, as a result of the lessee's default due to joint and severable provisions relating to the lease guarantee is presently not determinable and the Company has not been advised of the results, if any, of negotiations by the lessee to settle this potential liability with the landlord.

Corporate Support Agreement

Effective January 1, 2007 as dated May 1, 2007, our Board of Directors, pursuant to unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, authorized and approved the execution of an eighteen month corporate support agreement (the "Corporate Support Agreement") with Sweetwater Capital Corp., a private company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada ("SCC"). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Corporate Support Agreement: (i) SCC shall provide us with corporate services including, but not limited to, furnished offices, communication services, support services, personnel, and other incidental services in order for us to be able to perform our corporate business operations and activities in Vancouver, British Columbia; (ii) SCC shall further provide at our request financial services, bookkeeping and accounting services, formulation of budget plans, establishment of financial relationships, and preparation and maintenance of proper accounting records; and (iii) we shall pay SCC the aggregate monthly sum of CDN$15,000 plus goods and services tax. Effective December 31, 2008, the monthly amount of the contract was modified to US$12,000 per month.  Effective August 1, 2010, the monthly amount was changed to $8,400 per month. The corporate support agreement's contract term has lapsed and services continue to be provided on a month to month basis.

Advisory Services Agreements

On January 20, 2010 a vendor entered into a contract with the Company to provide financing and capital markets advisory services with the goal of raising equity funding for the Company. The term of the contract is from signing until January 31, 2011 and automatically renews in 90 day increments unless and until cancelled by either party. In consideration the Company agreed to pay the vendor a retainer fee of $10,000 plus 8% of any equity financing secured by the vendor. In the event the equity financing occurs with an entity introduced by certain excluded entities, the fee is reduced to 3%. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue the vendor share purchase warrants equal to 10% of the securities sold in such equity financing at a price of $0.70 and expiry date which is 3 years from the issue date. In the event the vendor secures debt financing, the fees paid to the vendor are as follows; 8% of the first $2,000,000, plus 6% of proceeds between, $2,000,001 and $7,000,000 if any, plus 4% of proceeds in excess of $7,000,000 if any. As of January 31, 2011 the Company has formally terminated this agreement.

On February 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant who will act as a non-exclusive placement agent to arrange the sale of shares of the Company's common stock and other securities to institutional and/or accredited investors on behalf of the Company. The term of the contract is for a period of twelve months. The Company shall pay the consultant a cash placement fee of ten percent for the first closing and then eight percent for later closings on the gross proceeds received by the Company in connection with financings arranged by the consultant. In addition, a $15,000 due diligence fee was paid by the Company to the consultant and the fee is creditable against future cash placement fees. In connections with the financings the Company agreed to issue to the consultant warrants to purchase such number of the shares of the Company's commons stock equal to ten percent of the aggregate number of shares issued in connection with the financings. The warrants issued to the consultant shall bear identical terms as the warrants issued pursuant to the financings.

Item 4.                      Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of 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 SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of January 31, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer), and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our corporate reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report due to certain deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting as at our year ended April 30, 2010, as disclosed is our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2010, which may be considered to be material weaknesses and which had not been resolved as of January 31, 2011.
