PART I


ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


Corporate History


Liberty Silver Corp. (“We”, “Us”, the “Company”, or the “Registrant”) was incorporated on February 20, 2007 under the laws of the state of Nevada under the name Lincoln Mining Corp. We were incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities, and on May 24, 2007, purchased the Zone Lode mining claim located in Elko County, Nevada, for a purchase price of $10,000.  Our objective was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Zone Lode claim to assess whether it contained economic reserves of copper, gold, silver, molybdenum or zinc.  We were not able to determine whether this property contained reserves that were economically recoverable and have ceased our attempts at developing this property.


As disclosed on a Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 5, 2010, on March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Silver property located in Pershing County, Nevada (the “Property”); a copy of the Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 5, 2010 and is hereby incorporated by reference.  


The Property consists of a total of approximately 5,800 acres, including 5,040 acres of fee land and 59 unpatented mining claims.  Under the Agreement, the Registrant may earn-in a 70% undivided interest in the Property during a 6-year period in consideration of (1) a signing payment of $25,000, which has been





3





made, (2) an expenditure of a cumulative total of $5,000,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Property by March 29, 2016, including a minimum of $500,000 which must be expended within one year from the effective date of the Agreement, and (3) completion of a bankable feasibility study on the Property on or before the 7th anniversary date of the Agreement.   Our business operations are currently focused on efforts to develop the Property.


Current Operations


Overview


The Registrant presently has one property, the Trinity silver mine described below. Operations at the Trinity silver mine will consist of (i) an effort to expand the known resource through drilling, (ii) permitting for operation, if deemed economically viable, (iii) metallurgical studies aimed at enhancing the recovery of the silver and by-product lead and zinc, (iv) engineering design related to potential construction of a new mine, and (v) complete feasibility studies relating to possible re-opening the historic mine. Exploration of the property will be conducted simultaneously with the mine development in order to locate additional resources.


Products


The Registrant’s anticipated product will be precious and base metal-bearing concentrates and/or precious metal bullion produced from ores from mineral deposits which it hopes to discover and exploit through exploration and acquisition.


Property location


The Trinity silver mine is situated approximately 25 road miles north-northwest of Lovelock, Nevada, in Pershing County, Nevada, on the northwest flank of the Trinity Range, in the Trinity mining district.  It is located about 25 mi northwest of the Rochester silver mine, one of the largest silver mines in the United States.  The latitude-longitude coordinates of the mine site are 40o 23’ 47” N, 118o 36’ 38” W; it is situated in sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, and 17, Township 29 North, Range 30 East, MDB&M and sections 27, 33, and 35, Township 30 North, Range 30 East, MDB&M.


Land; Land Status; Property Rights; Licensing


The Trinity silver mine property includes located public and leased/subleased fee land consisting of the following:


(1)

59 unpatented lode mining claims, the Seka 1-6, 8-16, 61-64, 73-76, 95-112, and TS 1-18 claims, totaling approximately 1200 acres, located in sections 4, 10, and 16,  Township 29 North, Range 30 East.  The claims are located on public land open to mineral entry, currently valid, and subject to Bureau of Land Management regulations.

         

(2)

4,396.44 acres of fee land leased by Newmont Mining Corp. from Southern Pacific Land Co., and its successors, and from Santa Fe Pacific Minerals Corporation, and its successors located in sections 3, 5, 11, and 17, Township 29 North, Range 30 East, and sections 27, 33, and 35, Township 30 North, Range 30 East.

 

(3) 1280 acres of fee land owned by Newmont Mining Corp located in sections 9 and 15, Township 29 North, Range 30 East.  


The Registrant’s joint venture area of interest is currently sections 2-5, 8-11, 14-17, Township 29 North,





4





Range 30 East, MDB&M, and sections, 27, 32-35, Township 30 North, Range 30 East, MDB&M.  The Registrant’s rights, which apply to all of the above properties include exploration, development, and production of valuable minerals except geothermal, hydrocarbons, and sand/gravel, and also include the authority to apply for all necessary permits, licenses and other approvals from the United States of America, the State of Nevada or any other governmental or other entity having regulatory authority over any part of the Property.


Mining history

     

The Trinity mining district had limited, intermittent production of silver, gold, lead and zinc from 1865 to 1942.  In the early 1980s Santa Fe Pacific Gold identified and developed significant silver  and base metal mineralization on the western side of the Trinity mining district.  In 1987, an oxidized resource, with a grade of approximately 7 ounces per ton of silver, was put into production by U.S. Borax and joint venture partner Santa Fe Pacific Mining Inc., as an open-pit, cyanide-heap-leach operation.  This mine operated for approximately 2 years and, based on production records, reportedly produced 5 million ounces of silver from 1.1 million short tons of oxide ore.  

    

Since the mine shut down in 1989 a number of explorers have examined the property by drilling and further increased the resource of sulfide silver and base metal mineralization.


Economic geology


The oldest rocks exposed in the Trinity mine area are Triassic to Jurassic marine sedimentary rocks which have been intruded by Cretaceous granodiorite stocks and dikes. These rocks are overlain by Miocene to Pliocene fine-grained rhyolite volcanic and volcaniclastic units which are principle hosts for silver and base metal mineralization.  Unconformably overlying these rocks are Quaternary pediment gravels.  The general mine area is dominated by high-angle, northeast-aligned Basin and Range faulting accompanied by secondary north- to northwest-aligned fault sets.


The Miocene to Pliocene rocks were invaded by hydrothermal solution which deposited metal sulfides as fine disseminations, veinlets and breccia fillings and altered the rock by silicification, sericitization, and argillization.  The sulfides include silver-bearing freibergite and pyrargyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and stannite. Over time the nearest-surface mineralization oxidized and was that mined by U.S. Borax.  


The unmined, underlying sulfide mineralization, as defined by extensive drilling, covers an area of over 3000 ft by 4000 ft.  The mineralization is still open along strike and at depth.


Infrastructure


The Trinity silver deposit is situated in western Nevada, a locale which is host to many metal mines, mining equipment companies, drilling companies, mining and metallurgical consulting expertise, and experienced mining personnel.  Its location is accessible by all-weather road through an area of very sparse population.


Government Regulation and Approval


The following permits will be necessary to put the mine into production.

Environmental Issues


The historic mining and reclamation by U.S. Borax was done in compliance with all permits. The mine has been officially closed and reclaimed and there are no legacy issues. The permitting process on the historic mine did not identify any threatened or endangered species.  Pershing County is a mining friendly county with several ongoing mining operations. The following environmental permits are necessary:


§

Permit for Reclamation

§

Water Pollution Control Permit  

§

Air Quality Operating Permit

§

Industrial Artificial pond permit

§

Water Rights


The Registrant is currently soliciting bids for the programs necessary to obtain these permits. The cost, timing, and work schedules are not yet available.


Competition


We compete with other mining and exploration companies in connection with the acquisition of mining claims and leases on silver and other precious metals prospects and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.  Many of these companies are much larger than we are, have greater financial resources and have been in the mining business much longer than we have.  As such, these competitors may be in a better position through size, finances and experience to acquire suitable exploration properties.  We may not be able to compete against these companies in acquiring new properties and/or qualified people to work on our current Property, or any other properties we may acquire in the future.


Given the size of the world market for precious metals such as silver and gold relative to the number of individual producers and consumers, we believe that no single company has sufficient market influence to significantly affect the price or supply of previous metals such as silver and gold in the world market.


Employees


The Registrant currently has two full-time employees, William Tafuri, the President and Chief Operating Officer, H. Richard Klatt, the vice president of exploration, and one part-time employee.  


Reports to Security Holders


We are required to file reports with the SEC under section 13(a) of the Securities Act.  The reports will be filed electronically. You may read copies of any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The SEC also

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS


AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS IN EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. NO PURCHASE OF OUR COMMON STOCK SHOULD BE MADE BY ANY PERSON WHO IS NOT IN A POSITION TO LOSE THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF HIS INVESTMENT. THE ORDER OF THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS IS PRESENTED ARBITRARILY. YOU SHOULD NOT CONCLUDE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A RISK FACTOR BECAUSE OF THE ORDER OF PRESENTATION.  OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED AS A RESULT OF THESE RISKS.


Risks Related to Our Business


Our property is in the exploration and development stage. There is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and that funds we expend on exploration and development will be lost.  If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.


Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk.  New mineral exploration companies encounter difficulties, and there is a high rate of failure of such enterprises.  The expenditures we may make in the exploration of the mineral concessions may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates, unusual or unexpected mineral formations, and other geological conditions.  If we find mineral reserves which we decide to extract, of which there is no guarantee, we may face additional problems, expenses, difficulties and complications which make mining the ore unprofitable. If we encounter any or all of these unanticipated problems, we may be unable to successfully put our Property into production.


Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail and cause  investors to lose their entire investment in our company.


We have no history of revenues from operations. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and is in the exploration and development stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of mineral reserves on our properties or selling the rights to exploit those mineral reserves. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our company. Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims in the future, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.


Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a





7





mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.


Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.  We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

Our success is dependent on retaining key personnel and on hiring and retaining additional personnel.  If we fail to retain our key personnel, we may have to cease operations.


Our ability to continue to explore and develop our mineral concessions, if warranted, is, in large part, dependent upon our ability to attract and maintain qualified key personnel. There is competition for such personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain them. We may not be able to find qualified geologists and mining engineers on a timely basis or at all to pursue our business plan.  Furthermore, if we are able to find qualified employees, the cost to hire them may be too great because there may be other companies that pay at a higher rate than we are able to pay.  Our progress now and in the future will depend on the efforts of key management figures, such as William Tafuri, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and on our ability to hire additional key personnel as needed in the future to continue to explore and develop our mineral concessions and pursue our business plan.  The loss of current key personnel or our inability to hire additional key personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business and could require us to cease operations or to cause our business to fail.


As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program.


There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We will be subject to the federal regulations (environmental, Bureau of Land Management) and the laws of the State of Nevada as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain additional work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.


We will need additional financing to execute our business plan, which additional financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.


Our current working capital is not sufficient to fund our planned operations and exploration activities for the next year.  Our operating budget for the next twelve months is currently approximately $1.65 million, and our currently available working capital is only approximately $1,000,000.  Accordingly, we will require additional working capital to sustain our planned business operations and to carry out our planned





8





exploration activities. We do not currently have any commitments to provide such funds, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the required financing when needed to sustain our operations.  In addition, if we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on our current property, or on any other property we may acquire in the future, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, if we cannot raise the necessary capital to exploit such a deposit, our business may fail.


Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.


Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. As we do not have any current exploration, development or production activities, we do not currently maintain insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.


Silver prices are highly volatile. If a profitable market does not exist, we may have to cease operations.

 

Silver prices have been highly volatile, and are affected by numerous international economic and political factors over which we have no control.  Our company’s long-term success is highly dependent upon the price of silver, as the economic feasibility of any ore body discovered on our current property, or on other properties we may acquire in the future, would, in large part, be determined by the prevailing market price of silver. If a profitable market does not exist, we may have to cease operations.


The silver exploration and mining industry is highly competitive.


The silver industry is highly competitive, and we are required to compete with other corporations that may have greater resources than ours. Such corporations could outbid us for potential projects or produce minerals at lower costs which would have a negative effect on our operations.


Risks Relating to the Common Stock

The Company’s common stock is currently approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, but the Company cannot ensure that a liquid trading market for its shares will be sustained.

The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol LBSV.OB.   The Company cannot ensure that any level of trading activity will be sustained or that, if sustained, that it constitutes a liquid trading market which allows persons who purchase the Company’s common stock to promptly liquidate their investment at any time. Persons who purchase the Company’s common stock may have difficulty liquidating their investment because of the lack of a market or the difficulty in maintaining a market for such shares.   


Potential future sales under Rule 144 may depress the market price for the common stock.






9





In general, under Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a minimum holding period of between 6 months and one-year and any other applicable requirements of Rule 144, may thereafter sell such shares publicly. The possible future sale of our shares by the Company’s existing shareholders, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144, may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in the over-the-counter market.

 

The Company’s common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act.  The penny stock rules apply generally to companies whose common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share.  These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances.  Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.  As long as the Company’s shares continue to remain subject to the penny stock rules, it could have an adverse effect on the market for the Company’s shares, and investors could find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s shares.

Background and Overview


We were incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities, and on May 24, 2007, purchased the Zone Lode mining claim located in Elko County, Nevada, for a purchase price of $10,000.  Our objective was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Zone Lode claim to assess whether it contained economic reserves of copper, gold, silver, molybdenum or zinc.  We were not able to determine whether this property contained reserves that were economically recoverable and have ceased our attempts at developing this property.  As disclosed previously, on March 29, 2010, we entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Silver property located in Pershing County, Nevada and now intend to engage in efforts to develop the Property.


Our plan of operation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 is to conduct mineral exploration activities at the Trinity silver mine. Operations at the Trinity silver mine will consist of (i) an effort to expand the known resource through drilling, (ii) permitting for operation, if deemed economically viable, (iii) metallurgical studies aimed at enhancing the recovery of the silver and by-product lead and zinc, (iv) engineering design related to potential construction of a new mine, and (v) complete feasibility studies relating to possible re-opening the historic mine. Exploration of the property will be conducted simultaneously with the mine development in order to locate additional resources.

Results of Operations


The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operation and financial condition for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.  


Comparison of the fiscal years  ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

          

There were no revenues generated during the fiscal years ended, June 30, 2010 or 2009.


Total expenses increased 2,497% during the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009.  The 2,497% increase is primarily due to exploration expense, valuation of warrants associated with financing, legal and accounting, consulting and operation and administration expense. We expect total expenses to be approximately 300% higher during the 2010 fiscal year, primarily as a result of exploration and development and operation and administration expense.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Total Current Assets and Liabilities


As of June 30, 2010, our audited balance sheet reflects that the Company had current assets of $744,279, total assets of $769,279, current liabilities of $85,568 and a deficit accumulated in the exploration stage of $873,480.


Management has established an estimated operating budget for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2010, which includes total estimated expenses of $1,650,050 for the period.  The estimated budget is as follows:

On May 6, 2010, the Company completed a private placement offering of a total of 1,333,334 Units (consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock), from which it received gross offering proceeds of $1,000,000.  Such funds are intended to be used to pay ongoing expenses of the Company as reflected in the operating budget, but are not sufficient to pay all estimated operating expenses.  Accordingly, the Company will be required either to raise additional working capital or to cut its operating budget.  


Management currently believes that the Company will be able to raise additional working capital needed to meet its current budget, and that the best option for doing so will be through the private placement offering and sale of equity securities.  However, the Company does not currently have any commitments to provide working capital and there is no assurance that the required working capital will be available, or will be

available on terms acceptable to the Company.

  

Cash Flow


During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 cash was primarily used to fund operations. We had a net increase in cash during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2009.  See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

Net Change in Cash

During the year ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $236,959, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $14,097 during the year ended June 30, 2009.  This increase in net cash used in operations is due to exploration expense, legal and accounting, consulting and operation and administration expense.

  

As discussed herein we realized a net loss from operations of $ 818,582 during the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to $31,522 during the year ended June 30, 2009. This was due to exploration expense, valuation of warrants associated with financing, legal and accounting, consulting and operation and administration expense.


During the year ended June 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities used $985,900 from proceeds from issuance of stock, compared to $14,000 from an advance from related party for the year ended June 30, 2009. The increase in net cash provided was due to private offering in May 2010.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 20, 2007. The Company is considered an exploration stage company since its formation, and the Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  The Company is primarily focused on the exploration, acquisition and development of mining and mineral properties.  Upon the location of commercially minable reserves, the Company plans to prepare for mineral extraction and enter the development stage.


On May 24, 2007, the Company had acquired a mineral property located in Elko County, within the state of Nevada. The Company was not able to determine whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company has ceased their attempts at developing this property.


On February 11, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation. The articles of incorporation were amended for the purposes of (1) changing the name of the registrant to Liberty Silver Corp, and (2) increasing the authorized shares of the Company from 75,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.


On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AuEx Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation.


The Agreement relates to the Trinity Silver property (the “Property”) located in Pershing County, Nevada which consists of a total of approximately 5,800 acres, including 5,040 acres of fee land and 59 unpatented mining claims.


The Company is reviewing other potential acquisitions in the resource and non-resource sectors. While the Company is in the process of completing due diligence reviews of several opportunities, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach any agreement to acquire such assets.



Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies


The following is a summary of significant account policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.


a. Basis of presentation


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.         

 

b. Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


c. Mineral rights, property and acquisition costs

Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009



The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on February 20, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.


The Company capitalizes acquisition and option costs of mineral rights as tangible assets. Upon commencement of commercial production, the mineral rights will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the life of the mineral rights. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that time.


The costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition.  Mine development costs incurred to develop and expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas in advance of production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current exploration or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.  Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.  The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.


d. Property and equipment


Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 39 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).


The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of property and equipment or whether the remaining balance of property and equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment. If events and circumstances warrant evaluation, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the property and equipment in measuring their recoverability. The Company does not currently own any depreciable assets.



e. Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.  As of June 30, 2010, exploration progress is on target with the Company’s exploration and evaluation plan and no events or circumstances have happened to indicate that the related carrying values of the properties may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will




26



Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009



be performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

 

Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.


Material changes to any of these factors or assumptions discussed above could result in future impairment charges to operations.


f. Fair Value of Financial instruments


The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:


  

·

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


  

·

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.


 

·

Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.


The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for the cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.


g. Environmental expenditures


The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by

relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.


Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business




27

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009



operation, net of expected recoveries. No costs have been, or may never be recognized by the Company for environmental expeditions.


h. Income taxes


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than- not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.  


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

i. Basic and diluted net loss per share


The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible promissory notes. Warrants in the amount of 1,333,339 were considered in the calculation but not included due to anti-dilution. The dilutive effect of these instruments is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. 


The Company’s calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

j. Stock-Based compensation


In December 2004, FASB issued FASB ASC 718 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”).  FASB ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  FASB ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  FASB ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.


k. Use of estimates and assumptions


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and market that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.  


l. Concentrations of credit risk


The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.


m. Risks and uncertainties


The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.  


Note 3 – New Technical Pronouncements




29



Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009




Recent accounting standards - From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.


Effective July 1, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) (Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”), became the single source for authoritative

nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  The ASC does not change US GAAP but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. Effective September 15, 2009, all public filings of the Company will reference the ASC as the sole source of authoritative literature.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855), Amendment to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, to remove the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. This change removes potential conflicts with current SEC guidance and clarifies the intended scope of the reissuance disclosure provisions. The update was effective upon its date of issuance, February 24, 2010, and the Company has adopted the amendments accordingly. As the update only pertained to disclosures, it had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-6 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities classified as Level 3. The Company has adopted the Level 1 and Level 2 amendments accordingly. As the update only pertained to disclosures, it had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.


In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167. (See FAS 167 effective date below.)


In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166. (See FAS 166 effective date below.)


In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1. (See EITF 09-1 effective date below.)




30



Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009




In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-14 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP.  This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15,2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. 

 

In June 2009, FASB issued ASC 105-10 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162").FASB ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. FASB ASC 105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim

Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009



periods ending after September 15, 2009. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.  Adoption of FASB ASC 105-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-65 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”) which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This standard also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is therefore required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. Previously, the standard required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited.  Adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB ASC 860-10 (Prior authoritative literature: issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”), which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), clarifies and amends the de-recognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, amends and clarifies the unit of account eligible for sale accounting and requires that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2009, FASB issued FASB ASC 855-10 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events"). FASB ASC 855-10 establishes principles and requirements for the reporting of events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASB ASC 855-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. As such, the Company adopted these provisions.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-65 (Prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 164, “Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions”) which governs the information that a not-for-profit entity should provide in its financial reports about a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses or nonprofit activities and sets out the principles and requirements for how a not-for-profit entity should determine whether a combination is in fact a merger or an acquisition. This standard is effective for mergers occurring on or after Dec. 15, 2009 and for acquisitions where the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period, beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2009. This standard does not apply to the Company since the Company is considered a for-profit entity



Note 4 - Mineral Property


Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated May 24, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a mineral claim, located in Section 8 of T35N, R36E Mount Diablo Base Meridian in Elko County, within the state of Nevada for a cash payment of $10,000. The Company must annually renew the lease on the land with the state for $1,800 and has not done so for this fiscal year end, June 30, 2010.





32



Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009



Since the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of the mineral claim, only the acquisition costs have been capitalized to date. The Company has not depleted the mineral claims as no proven reserves have been found. The Company will not be able to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding. The Company allowed the mineral claim to lapse at the end of June 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company determined that there was little, or no, possibility of the company generating revenues related to the mining interests. This, coupled with the lapse of the mineral claims lease was determined to be an impairment of the asset. As such, the Company’s management determined to fully impair the mining interests, which was a charge to the Company’s statements of operations in the amount of $11,800.


On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AuEx Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Agreement relates to the Trinity Silver property (the “Property”) located in Pershing County, Nevada which consists of a total of approximately 5,800 acres, including 5,040 acres of fee land and 59 unpatented mining claims.


Under the Agreement, the Company may earn-in a 70% undivided interest in the Property during a 6-year period in consideration of (1) a signing payment of $25,000, which has been made and has been capitalized, (2) an expenditure of a cumulative total of $5,000,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Property by March 29, 2016, and (3) completion of a bankable feasibility study on the Property on or before the 7th anniversary date of the Agreement.


The Company has begun financing to be in compliance with terms of the agreement. No actual mining has begun at this point.



Note 5 – Related Party Payable


The president, John Pulos, advanced the Company $100 dollars to open the Company’s bank account. By April 2010, the president advanced the Company a total of $102,600 for operating costs. In May 2010, the Company repaid the $102,600. As of fiscal year-end June 30, 2010 the related party payable is $0.

At the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had 69,733,334 shares of the common stock issued and outstanding.



Stock warrants


In May 2010, the Company commenced a private stock offering, whereby it authorized the issuance of 1,333,334 units consisting of one share of its common stock and one common stock purchase warrant for a total raise of $1,000,000. The common stock purchase warrants are exercisable at $1.25 per share and carrying a two year exercise period. The offering was closed as of May 26, 2010. All 1,333,334 units were issued and $1,000,000 in cash was received.


The amount of warrant expense related to this offering for the year ending June 30, 2010 was $522,191. The expense was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Note 7 - Income Taxes


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than- not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.  


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


As of June 30, 2010, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal

Note 8 – Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $873,480 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.


Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.


The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.


These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



Note 9 – Contingencies


Lease obligations - The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 675 Sierra Rose Drive, Suite 112, in Reno, Nevada.  This lease is for six months starting April 1, 2010 and ending on September 30, 2010. The monthly rent for this space is $850 per month.   The Company anticipates the facilities we currently lease will be suitable and adequate for our needs.

On October 20, 2010, the Board of Directors of Liberty Silver Corp., (the “Registrant”) approved the adoption of amended bylaws to become effective immediately as of the date of adoption.  The board of directors approved the adoption of amended bylaws pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of

Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2010 and 2009



In conjunction with the Registrant’s appointment of foregoing directors, the Registrant granted each director stock options to acquire up to 300,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Registrant at a price of $.75 per share pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements entered into between the Registrant and the newly appointed directors.  The foregoing description of the stock option agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the stock option agreements which were attached to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 27, 2010 as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5., 10.6, and 10.7 and are herein incorporated by reference.  


On February 1, 2011, the Company dismissed Chisholm, Bierwolf, Nilson & Morrill, LLC as the principal independent accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. The dismissal was approved by the Board of Directors.


On February 1, 2011, the Company engaged the firm Morrill & Associates, LLC as the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.


Effective April 1, 2011, the Company borrowed a total of $150,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of promissory notes (individually referred to as a “Note” and collectively referred to as the “Notes”) entered into with six of the Company’s directors.  Each Note is for $25,000 and is required to be repaid by the Company on the earlier of one year, or when the Company raises a minimum of $2,000,000 through equity investments.   The Notes are interest free for the first six months following the date of the Note and then bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum thereafter.   In conjunction with the entry into the Notes, in lieu of the holders charging the Company interest on the outstanding principal of the Notes for the initial six months, the Company issued each holder a warrant entitling the holder to purchase up to a total of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at price of $0.55 per share for a period of three (3) years following the date of the Note.

ITEM 9.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


We have not had any changes or disagreements with our accountants required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K. 


ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean the controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.


As of the end of the period covered by this report, we initially carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer initially concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Subsequently, we determined that we had a material weakness, as described below, in our disclosure controls and procedures.  Therefore, in connection with the filing of our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 15, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.


In connection with the preparation and filing of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we inadvertently failed to disclose the information required by Item 307 of Regulation S-K regarding the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon the Company’s failure to include the disclosures required by Item 307, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.  To the extent reasonably possible given our resources, to remediate the foregoing problem with our disclosure controls and procedures, we will seek the advice of outside consultants and utilize internal resources to implement additional disclosure controls and procedures to address the foregoing problem.


Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as of June 30, 2010 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control – Integrated




41





Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO.  Based on our assessment and those criteria, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting had the following deficiencies and material weaknesses as of June 30, 2010:


      1)       Certain control procedures were unable to be verified due to performance of the procedure not being sufficiently documented.  As an example, some procedures requiring review of certain reports could not be verified due to there being no written notation on the report by the reviewer.  Because we were unable to verify these procedures, we conclude that as of June 30, 2010 there were control deficiencies related to the preparation and review of our interim and annual consolidated financial statements, in particular with respect to certain account reconciliations, journal entries and spreadsheets, and the authorization of sales transactions and customer billing rates.  While none of these control deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to our 2010 interim or annual financial statements, they could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.


     2)       Certain of our personnel had access to various financial application programs and data that was beyond the requirements of their individual job responsibilities.  While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2010 interim or annual consolidated financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


     3)       

We did not maintain a level of personnel sufficient to execute certain computing controls over our information technology structure. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2010 interim or annual financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


     4)    

We did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within certain areas impacting our financial reporting.  While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2010 interim or annual financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


    5)

There was a material weakness in the valuation and calculation of warrants attached to certain shares issued which resulted in a material audit adjustment to the financial statements. This deficiency resulted in a material weakness control over the financial reporting.


To the extent reasonably possible given our resources, we will seek the advice of outside consultants and utilize internal resources to implement additional internal controls to address the above identified material weaknesses.  We are taking steps to implement additional review and approval procedures applicable to our financial reporting process, and are in the planning phase of creating and implementing new information technology policies and procedures related to controls over information technology operations, security and change management.


Through these steps, we believe that we are addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010.  Because the remedial actions require upgrading certain of our information technology systems, relying extensively on manual review and approval processes, and possibly hiring of additional personnel, we may not be able to conclude that these material weaknesses have been remedied until these controls have been successfully implemented into operation for some period of




42





time.

    

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.  It is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.  It also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.

 

Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process certain safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.  Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.


This report does not include an attestation of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


There were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which our Company was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the small business issuer’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.


Director Independence


The NASDAQ Stock Market has instituted director independence guidelines that have been adopted by the Securities & Exchange Commission.  These guidelines provide that a director is deemed “independent” only if the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship with the company which, in the board’s opinion, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities.  Significant stock ownership will not, by itself, preclude a board finding of independence.


For NASDAQ Stock Market listed companies, the director independence rules list six types of disqualifying relationships that preclude an independence filing.  The Company’s board of directors may not find independent a director who:


1.

is an employee of the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;


2.

accepts, or who has a family member who accepts, more than $60,000 per year in payments from the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company other than (a) payments from board or committee services; (b) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities; (c) compensation paid to a family member who is a non-executive employee of the company’ (d) benefits under a tax qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation; or (e) loans to directors and executive officers permitted under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act;


3.

is a family member of an individual who is employed as an executive officer by the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;


4.

is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than (a) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities or (b) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;


5.

is employed, or who has a family member who is employed, as an executive officer of another company whose compensation committee includes any executive officer of the listed company; or


6.

is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit.

Based upon the foregoing criteria, our Board of Directors has determined that Bill Tafuri and John Pulos are not independent directors under these rules as they is also employed as officers of the Company.
