Item 1. Description of Business
 
General
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 13, 2007. The Company was in the development stage of its business through fiscal 2010 when it abandoned its previous business of providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development, and implementation of energy generating solutions. Effective fiscal 2011, we changed our planned business activities to the exploration and development of precious metal properties.  As part of our business strategy, we acquired another business, Axiom de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“Axiom Mexico”). Through this acquisition, we acquired two mineral properties, one of which we are currently exploring. Our plan of operation is forward looking, and we may not be successful in our operations.
 
We are in the exploration stage and will continue to be in the exploration stage until we generate significant revenue from our business operations. To date, we have not generated any revenues. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 8275 South Eastern Avenue, Suite 200-47, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89123. Our administrative office is located at 1846 E. Innovation Park Dr., Oro Valley, AZ 85755. Our telephone number is (520) 318-5595.
 
Our Prior Strategy
 
Originally, our business was to concentrate on providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development, and implementation of energy generating solutions. More specifically, we intended for our services to include: (1) assessing the current condition of the energy market with regard to supply and demand and forecasting future energy needs for our client’s customer base; and (2) based on our assessment, working with clients to develop and implement strategic planning. Our services would have assisted clients with meeting current and future energy generation needs in an economical, efficient, and profitable manner.
 
We have abandoned this strategy.

Our Current Strategy:

We changed the focus of our Company to the exploration and development of precious metal properties.  On January 13, 2011, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico whereby through our wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Acquisition Corp, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico, by the issuance of  two million (2,000,000) of its common shares.  The surviving company was Axiom de Mexico S.A. de C.V., which is a wholly owned Mexican corporation that has options on two mineral concessions in Sonora State, Mexico.  We also plan to acquire additional properties in North America and South America focusing in Mexico and Chile.   We may not be able to acquire additional mining properties, or have success in exploring and developing the one we have.   We also may attempt to acquire or merge with an existing mineral exploration or mining company but we have not concluded any negotiations to acquire such a company, and we may never acquire such a company.
 
Employees
 
Dr. John Larson, our current CEO, works full time on behalf of our Company.  Currently, we have four employees, our CEO, CFO, VP Exploration and Director - Business Development.   All of our employees have compensation agreements with us. Other than our VP Exploration, all of our staff in Mexico are hired through a third party service provider.
 
Insurance
 
We do not maintain any general insurance, but we plan to implement standard insurance policies for our company.  We do have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Our ability to acquire a general insurance policy relies upon us having the necessary funds to do so.  We do not have the necessary funds to implement such insurance policies.  Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party to a liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs, a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.
 
Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees
 
We are an exploration stage company and currently have four employees; our CEO, CFO, VP Exploration and Director - Business Development. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.
 
Offices
 
Our administrative offices are currently located at 1846 E. Innovation Park Dr. Oro Valley, AZ 85755.  Our telephone number is (520) 318-5595.  We also maintain an exploration office at Avenida 10  No. 76 entre calles 2 y 3 Colonia Bugambilia Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, C.P. 83140.  Our telephone number there is +52 662 267 0981.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

Our new business plan calls for exploration activities and future mining operations (of which we currently have none planned).  These activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, mine construction, and protection of endangered and protected species. We expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In the event that we make a mineral discovery and decide to proceed to production, the costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws and regulations could stop us from proceeding with a project or the operation or further improvement of a mine or increase the costs of improvement or production.

Government Regulation
 
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally.
 
Presently, we are qualified to do business in Arizona, Nevada and Mexico (through our wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Minerals de Mexico SA de CV.). Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Other than the foregoing, no governmental approval is needed for the sale of our services and products.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Risks associated with our business:
 
We have no operating history. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We will go out of business if we fail to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital.
 
We have a limited operating history. We were founded on February 13, 2007, and from the date of inception of exploration (September 1, 2010) to August 31, 2011, we have accumulated losses of $5,411,267. We expect to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future and will go out of business if we fail to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital. We do not have any commitments at this time to raise additional capital.  Additional losses will result from costs and expenses related to implementing our new business strategy and hiring qualified people to carry out the new business strategy.

If sufficient funds are not available we will not be able to acquire mineral properties to implement our new business plan.
 
Our business will fail if we do not have sufficient funds to enable us to do one or more of the following: acquire precious metal mineral properties; attract qualified personnel to work for our Company; or fund our administrative and corporate expenses. Failure to acquire mineral properties will stop our plan to move ahead with our strategy.
 
Currently, we do not have any commitments for additional financing. If additional financing were required, we cannot be certain additional financing will be available  to the extent needed. As well, even if financing were available, we cannot be certain that it would be available on acceptable terms.  If we are not able to negotiate reasonable terms to raise capital, then we will have to suspend or cease operations.
  
We are significantly dependent upon officers to develop our business. If we lose our officers or if our officers do not adequately develop our business, then we will go out of business.
 
At the outset, our success will depend entirely on the ability of our officers. We do not carry a “key person” life insurance policy on either of our officers. We currently have four employees. We rely almost exclusively upon our officers to meet our needs. Other than our CFO, our officers are engaged full time for our Company.

As we undertake exploration and development of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulations that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program.
 
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration or exploitation. We expect to be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in Mexico and Chile regarding environmental matters, the abstraction of water, and the discharge of mining wastes and materials and other similar laws and regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of exploration and development companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on us and our operating, increase our expenditures and costs and require abandonment or delays in developing new mining properties. Environmental laws and regulations change frequently, and the implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot predict how agencies or courts in Mexico or Chile will interpret existing laws and regulations or the effect that these adoptions and interpretations may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations.
 
Any significant mining operations that we undertake in the future will have some environmental impact, including land and habitat impact, arising from the use of land for mining and related activities, and certain impact on water resources near the project sites, resulting from water use, rock disposal and drainage run-off. No assurances can be given that such environmental issues will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the future. While we believe we do not currently have any material environmental obligations, exploration and development activities may give rise in the future to significant liabilities on our part to the government and third parties and may require us to incur substantial costs of remediation.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration and development of mineral concessions and the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in the mineral exploration and development business, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and developed and our business will fail.
 
Exploration for and development of minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Any figures presented in this report relating to gold deposits adjacent to our properties do not indicate that we will be successful in searching for and extracting gold deposits on our properties. New mineral exploration and development 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 and development 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 and development of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and development and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. In addition, problems such as unusual or unexpected mineral formations and other geological conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration and development efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan. The search for and development of valuable minerals also involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins, the use of explosives, waste disposal, worker safety and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
 
Additionally, we do not maintain insurance against environmental risks. As a result, any claims against us may result in liabilities we will not be able to afford, resulting in the failure of our business. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in exploration and development operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the exploration and development activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

We do not carry title insurance and do not plan to secure any in the future. We are therefore, vulnerable to loss of title.

We do not maintain insurance against title. Title on mineral properties and mining rights involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mining properties. We cannot give any assurance that title to our properties and claims will not be challenged or impugned and cannot be certain that we will have or will acquire valid title to these mining properties and claims. We cannot assume that counterparties to our title transfer agreements will meet their contractual obligations and transfer title on a timely basis. Furthermore, there is a risk that the Mexican government may in the future grant additional titles in excess of our expectations to currently illegal miners or that disputes may arise as to existing title ownership or planned acquisitions. Furthermore, although we believe that mechanisms exist to integrate the titles of mineral properties currently not owned by us, there is a risk that this process could be time consuming and costly. The possibility also exists that title to existing properties or future prospective properties may be lost due to an omission in the claim of title. As a result, any claims against us may result in liabilities we may not be able to afford resulting in the failure of our business.

In the event that we are unable to successfully compete within the mineral exploration and development business, we may not be able to achieve profitable operations.
 
The mineral exploration and development business is highly competitive. This industry has a multitude of competitors and many competitors dominate this industry. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources than us. As a result, we may experience difficulty competing with other businesses when conducting mineral exploration and development activities or in the retention of qualified personnel. No assurances can be given that we will be able to compete effectively.

In the future, the figures for our reserves and resources are estimates based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated.

Unless otherwise indicated, mineralization figures presented in our filings with securities regulatory authorities, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time are based upon estimates made by independent geologists and our internal geologists. When making determinations about whether to advance any of our projects to development, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the mineral reserves and grades of mineralization on our properties. Until ore is actually mined and processed, mineral reserves and grades of mineralization must be considered as estimates only. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.

We cannot assure you that:

  •   these estimates will be accurate;

  •   reserve, resource or other mineralization estimates will be accurate; or

  •   this mineralization can be mined or processed profitably.

Any material changes in mineral reserve estimates and grades of mineralization will affect the economic viability of placing a property into production and a property’s return on capital. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined, if any, may differ from that indicated by our technical reports and drill results. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.

The resource estimates contained in this report have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs that may prove to be inaccurate. Extended declines in market prices for gold and silver may render portions of our mineralization, reserve (if any) and resource estimates uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization or adversely affect the commercial viability of our properties. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of our ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Due to numerous factors beyond our control which could affect the marketability of gold and silver, including their respective market price, we may have difficulty selling any gold or silver if commercially viable deposits are found to exist.

The availability of markets and the volatility of market prices are beyond our control and represent a significant risk. Even if commercially viable deposits of gold or silver are found to exist on our property interests, a ready market may not exist for the sale of the reserves. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. These factors could inhibit our ability to sell the gold or silver in the event that commercially viable deposits are found to exist.

Our due diligence activities with respect to our property interests cannot assure that these properties will ultimately prove to be commercially viable.

Our due diligence activities have been limited, and to a great extent, we have relied upon information provided to us by third-party advisors. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the properties or mining rights we possess will contain adequate amounts of gold, silver and base metals for commercialization. Further, even if we recover gold, silver and base metals from such mining properties, we cannot guarantee that we will make a profit. If we cannot acquire or locate commercially exploitable precious metal deposits, or if it is not economical to recover the precious metal deposits, our business and operations will be materially adversely affected. At present, none of our properties have proven or probable reserves and the proposed programs are an exploratory search for proven or probable reserves. The mining areas presently being assessed by us may not contain economically recoverable volumes of minerals or metals. We have relied and may continue to rely, upon consultants and others for operating expertise.

If we are unable to obtain all of our required governmental permits, our operations could be negatively impacted.

Our future operations, including exploration and development activities, required permits from various governmental authorities. Such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, 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 acquire all required licenses or permits or to maintain continued operations at economically justifiable costs.

Our financial position and results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency values.

Any mining operations we undertake outside of the United States will be subject to currency fluctuations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and any foreign currency may adversely impact our operations. We do not anticipate that we will enter into any type of hedging transactions to offset this risk. In addition, with respect to commercial operations in Mexico, Chile or other countries, it is possible that material transactions incurred in local currency, such as engagement of local contractors for major projects, will be settled at a U.S. dollar value that is different from the U.S. dollar value of the transaction at the time it was incurred. This could have the effect of undermining profits from operations in that country.

Our property interests in Mexico and Chile are subject to risks from instability in those countries.

We have property interests in Mexico and are looking to acquire properties in Chile which may be affected by risks associated with political or economic instability in those countries. The risks with respect to Mexico, Chile or other developing countries include, but are not limited to: military repression, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, criminal activity, lack of personal safety or ability to safeguard property, labor instability or militancy, mineral title irregularities and high rates of inflation.

In addition, changes in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Mexico and Chile may adversely affect our business. We may be affected in varying degrees by government regulation with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted but may adversely impact our proposed operations in any foreign jurisdiction.

We are in competition with companies that are larger, more established and better capitalized than we are.

Many of our potential competitors have:

 •   greater financial and technical resources;

 •   longer operating histories and greater experience in mining;

 •   greater awareness of the political, economic and governmental risks in operating in foreign countries.
 
 
Risks related to an investment in our common stock:
 
Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)’s penny stock regulations which may limit the development of a liquid public market for our common stock and may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, being less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If we develop a public market for our shares, then our shares would be covered by the penny stock rules. These penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. These additional requirements may have the effect of limiting the development of a public trading market thereby reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may negatively affect our ability to develop a public trading market for our common stock and may negatively affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our common stock. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and may limit the marketability of, our common stock.
 
There does not exist a liquid secondary market for our common stock therefore you may not be able to sell your common stock.
 
There is not currently a liquid secondary trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to sell your common stock. If you do want to sell your common stock, then you will be responsible for locating a buyer and finalizing terms of sale.
 
Due to the lack of a market for our shares, our share price will be more volatile. Also, our stock is held by a smaller number of investors thus reducing the liquidity of our stock and the likelihood that any active trading market will develop.
 
There is no market for our common stock and we cannot assure you that any market will ever be developed or maintained. Currently, our stock is listed on the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin-Board (OTCBB) under the trading symbol AXIO and on the Berlin Stock Exchange under the trading symbol 0X0. As of the date of this report, our stock has traded on the OTCBB on a very limited basis. We cannot provide any assurance that our stock will continue trading on the OTCBB. The fact that most of our stock is held by a small number of investors further reduces the liquidity of our stock and the likelihood that any active trading market will develop. The market for our common stock, if any, is likely to be volatile and many factors may affect the market. These include, for example: our success, or lack of success; decreases in commodity prices; competition; government regulations; and fluctuating operating results.

Because our common stock is quoted and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Berlin Stock Exchange, short selling could increase the volatility of our stock price.

Short selling occurs when a person sells shares of stock which the person does not yet own and promises to buy stock in the future to cover the sale. The general objective of the person selling the shares short is to make a profit by buying the shares later, at a lower price, to cover the sale. Significant amounts of short selling, or the perception that a significant amount of short sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. In contrast, purchases to cover a short position may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on over-the-counter bulletin board or any other available markets or exchanges. Such short selling if it were to occur could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of our shareholders.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase shares of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their own common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Because our stock price can be volatile, investors may not be able to recover any of their investment.

Stock prices in general, and stock prices of mineral exploration companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance or any specifics of the company. Factors that may influence the market price of our common stock include:

 
·
actual or anticipated changes or milestones in our operations;
 
·
our ability or inability to acquire mining properties or interests in such properties in Mexico and Chile;
 
·
our ability or inability to generate revenues;
 
·
increased competition within Mexico and elsewhere;
 
·
government regulations, including mineral exploration regulations that affect our operations;
 
·
predictions and trends in the gold mining exploration industry;
 
·
volatility of the gold and silver market prices;
 
·
sales of common stock by “insiders”; and
 
·
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors.

Our stock price may also be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as, but not limited to, armed hostilities or acts of terrorism, recessions, acts of God, interest rates or international currency fluctuations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, or upon expiration of lock-up periods applicable to outstanding shares, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. Recent revisions to Rule 144 may result in shares of our common stock that we may issue in the future becoming eligible for resale into the public market without registration in as little as six months after their issuance.

Because our directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies, they may have a conflict of interest in making decisions for our business.

Our directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors or officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, we expect that the director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. Our directors are required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests. In determining whether or not we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by us, we expect that the directors and officers will be guided by their fiduciary duties and take into account such matters as they deem relevant, including considering the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time.

Because our officers and directors may allocate their time to other business interests or may be employed by other companies, they may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and cause our business to fail.

It is possible that the demands on our officers and directors, from their existing employment and from other obligations could increase with the result that they would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our operations and business. This conflict of interest could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and cause our business to fail.

We are controlled by our directors and officers, and, as such, you may have no effective voice in our management.

Our current directors, officers and key employees beneficially own a significant percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, we expect that our directors and officers will exercise control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the possible election of additional directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. If you purchase shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in our management.

U.S. investors may experience difficulties in attempting to enforce judgments based upon U.S. federal securities laws against us and our non-U.S. resident directors.

Our operations in Mexico are conducted through a subsidiary corporation organized and located outside the United States.  Other than our corporate bank account, all of our assets are located outside of the U.S. and certain of our directors and officers are residents outside of the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to enforce judgments of U.S. courts for civil liabilities against us or against any of our individual directors or officers. In addition, U.S. investors should not assume that courts in the countries in which our subsidiary is incorporated or where the assets of our subsidiary are located (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our subsidiary based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiary based upon these laws.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Not applicable. 
 
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.

Mineral Property Costs - We are in the exploration stage and have not yet realized any significant revenues from our planned operations.  We are primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.  Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are currently expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property are capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 
Equity-Based Compensation - We account for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation: Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant.  The fair value of our equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that we estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award, and we elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.

We account for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize an asset or expense in the same manner as if we were to receive cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.
 
Other accounting policies are described in the notes to the financial statements included in this Annual Report . The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011.

Overview.   We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 13, 2007, under the name TC Power Management Corp. We are in the exploration stage of our business and have not generated any revenues.  We abandoned the Company’s previous business of providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development, and implementation of energy generating solutions. We changed our planned business activities to the exploration and development of precious metals properties.  On January 13, 2011, we entered into a material definitive agreement to acquire all of the shares of Axiom Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V (“Axiom Mexico”).  There were no material relationships between Axiom Gold and Silver, its officers and director or its affiliates and any of the shareholders of Axiom Mexico, other than in respect to the material definitive agreement and the pooling agreement described herein.  The agreement called for Axiom Gold and Silver, through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Acquisition Corp, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico, by the issuance of  two million (2,000,000) common shares of Axiom Gold and Silver.  The shares were issued to the shareholders of Axiom Mexico on a pro rata basis as to their ownership of Axiom Mexico.  Axiom Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Axiom Mexico and the separate corporate existence of Axiom Acquisition Corp. ceased to exist.  Axiom Mexico, as the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Axiom Gold and Silver continues its existence under its current name and continues to be governed by the laws of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.    The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of Axiom Mexico, as in effect immediately prior to the merger, are the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the surviving corporation in the merger until duly amended or repealed.  The members of the Board of Directors of Axiom Mexico, immediately prior to the merger have been confirmed as members of the Board of Directors of Axiom Mexico as the surviving corporation in the merger until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the surviving corporation in the merger, or as otherwise provided by law.  The officers of Axiom Mexico immediately prior to the merger have been confirmed as the initial officers of Axiom Mexico as the surviving corporation in the merger until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
 
No agent, broker, firm or other person acting on behalf of Axiom Mexico, Axiom Gold and Silver or Axiom Acquisition Corp. was entitled to any investment banking fee, commission, broker's or finder's fees in connection with this transaction.

Our plan of operation is forward looking, and we may never begin operations.

Plan of Operations

Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of our Mexican mineral properties to determine whether they contain commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other metals.

Our proposed principal product is precious metals.  Prior to production of precious metals, we must develop, mine, and smelt or further refine mineral resources, if any, located on properties that we have the right to develop.  Prior to developing precious metals, we must explore for, and determine that they are in sufficient quantities to warrant mining and selling them. In order to commence the exploration and development of precious metals properties, we will need to accomplish the following milestones:
 
1.         Acquire and/or Begin Exploration of Mineral Properties. We will need to raise additional funds or issue shares to pay for the cost of exploration on our existing mineral properties and/or to acquire additional mineral properties.
 
2.         Hire Qualified Staff. We will need to hire qualified people to execute our business plan to explore precious metals mineral properties. We will need to raise additional funds to attract qualified people to our Company.   We intend to hire employees at this time both as staff and/or through a third-party service provider in Mexico. We recently hired one full time geologist that is spending 100% of his time on our Aurora Project.  As well, we plan to hire two senior geologists and two junior geologists over the next 12 months through a third party service provider.  Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties.

If we are not able to negotiate suitable terms to raise capital, then we may have to suspend or cease operations. As of the date of this report for the year ended August 31, 2011, we have raised $1,081,000 from the sale of equity but have not secured any additional financing.  If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.
 
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. With our acquisition of Axiom Mexico, we are currently in the exploration stage of our operations and have not generated any revenues. We may never be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns.
 
To become profitable and competitive, we have to raise additional capital to operate. Future financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
 
We will not be conducting any product research or development. We do not expect to purchase any significant equipment.
 
To date, we have experienced significant difficulties in generating revenues and raising additional capital. We believe our inability to raise significant additional capital through debt or equity financings is due to various factors, including, but not limited to, a tightening in the equity and credit markets as well as the general turmoil in the capital markets. If we are not able to raise additional capital or generate revenues that cover our estimated operating costs, our business may ultimately fail.
 
The following sets out a description of those properties which we have a right to explore for precious minerals.

MINING CONCESSION --  A term used to describe an area of land for which the owner of the concession has the right to explore for and develop mineral deposits.  The rights to and ownership of the minerals in the concession are granted, in our case, by the Mexican Government to the former owners who then either transferred or optioned them to us.  In Canada and the United States, the term is commonly referred to as a Mineral Right or Mining Claim.

NET SMELTER RETURN (NSR) -- A share of the net revenues generated from the sale of metal produced by a mine.

ORE -- Mineralized material that can be mined and processed at a positive cash flow.

OREBODY -- A natural concentration of valuable material that can be extracted and sold at a profit.

PHENOCRYST - A term for large crystals or mineral grains floating in the matrix or groundmass of porphyry.

PHYLLIC ALTERATION - Hydrothermal alteration typically resulting from removal of sodium, calcium, and magnesium from calc-alkalic rocks, with pervasive replacement of silicates, muting the original rock texture. It is a common style of alteration in porphyry base-metal systems around a central zone of potassic alteration.

PORPHYRY - An igneous rock of any composition that contains conspicuous phenocrysts in a fine-grained groundmass

RECLAMATION -- The restoration of a site after mining or exploration activity is completed.

ROYALTY -- An amount of money paid at regular intervals by the lessee or operator of an exploration or mining property to the owner of the ground. The royalty, generally, is based on a certain amount per ton or a percentage of the total production or profits. Also, the fee paid for the right to use a patented process.

SERICITE - A white, fine-grained potassium mica occurring in small scales as an alteration product of various aluminosilicate minerals, having a silky luster, and found in various metamorphic rocks (esp. in schists and phyllites) or in the wall rocks, fault gouge, and vein fillings of many ore deposits. It is commonly muscovite or very close to muscovite in composition, but may also include paragonite and illite.

SUPERGENE - Said of a mineral deposit or enrichment formed near the surface, commonly by descending solutions; also, said of those solutions and of that environment.

 
19

 


TERTIARY VOLCANIC -  Volcanic rock from the first period of the Cenozoic Era (after the Cretaceous of the Mesozoic Era and before the Quaternary),

TOURMALINE - Any member of the trigonal mineral group, forms prisms of three, six, or nine sides; commonly vertically striated; varicolored; an accessory in granite pegmatites, felsic igneous rocks, and metamorphic rocks.
Mineral Properties

Axiom Mexico currently controls two properties, Aurora and Gavilan, located in Sonora, Mexico, and exploration activities are concentrated in these two properties.  Axiom Mexico is also in the process of evaluating additional projects in Mexico and Chile for possible acquisition. All of the properties are in the exploration stage and have no proven reserves.


Figure 1. Location of the projects.

AURORA PROJECT

Location

The Aurora project is located in southeastern Sonora in Northwest Mexico, and is approximately 160 km east-southeast from Hermosillo, the capital of the State of Sonora. The project is about 4 km from the main highway and power line. Direct access to the Aurora project is by international paved highway Mexico 16 to km 160, then south 4 km by all-weather gravel roads.

 
20

 


Land Area

The Aurora project comprises two different concessions: 1) Aurora, and 2) Guadalupe Group. The Aurora concession (E-82/33658) covers 120 hectares (290.5 acres) and Guadalupe Group has been divided into two different concessions:  Marco Fraccion I (E-82/33649) with 330 hectares (815.5 acres) and Marco Fraccion II (E-82/33649) with 120 hectares (290.5 acres). The total area covered by all concessions is 570 hectares (1,408.5 acres).

Exploration History

Previous exploration work on the property has been done by prospectors and a junior exploration company. Several adits, at least one shaft, and numerous pits were excavated by gambusino (artisanal) miners in the early 1900s. No records of the results of this activity are available. More recently, in the 1990s, Cyprus drilled 5 holes exploring for a porphyry copper system. They drilled in El Labra zone (westernmost area of the Aurora project) covering an area about 500 x 200 meters. Axiom Mexico does not have any results from this drilling program.

Axiom Mexico is currently exploring this property with a full time geologist.  There are no existing reserves on the Aurora properties.

Geology

Regional Geology

Regionally, the Aurora project largely occurs within the north-south trending El Encinal Mountain Range which comprises Mesozoic sedimentary units that are locally overlain by Cretaceous and younger volcanic rocks. The succession has been intruded locally by igneous bodies. To the west of the project area, the sedimentary section is intruded by mainly granite and granodiorite intrusives. To the west, the geology is dominated by the Tertiary volcanic succession of the Sierra Madre Occidental.

 
22

 


Figure 3. Local Geology.

Local Geology

The geology of the project area is dominantly underlain by volcanic rocks of the Sierra Madre Occidental characterized mainly by andesites and dacites intruded by Laramide granite-granodiorite plutons. Small and localized sedimentary rocks (quartzites) are present mainly in the west part of the property. At least two quartz-feldspar porphyries has been identified intruding the volcanic and plutonic rocks producing the highly intense altered and mineralized area exhibiting the gold and copper mineralization.

Breccia bodies occur throughout the property and in all rock types and provide an important host for mineralization. The breccias are with variable clast size, form and lithology, but most of them are characterized by quartz-tourmaline alteration. Field relationships suggest the temporal and spatial correlation of the breccias formation with the quartz-feldspar porphyries intrusive activity.

Field evidence suggests the possible presence of at least one porphyry-style mineralization and alteration system. Porphyry-style alteration and mineralization at the Aurora project area is associated with a composite stock (quartz-feldspar, dacite porphyries) of presumable Tertiary (perhaps Laramide) age.

 
23

 


Figure 4. Aurora project geology

The dominant fault orientation is N70°-80°E with secondary structural systems showing orientations of N20°E and N30°-40°W. Gold mineralization at the property is mostly associated with the main fault trend (N70°-80°E) which dips 50° to the southeast and cuts the volcanic rocks. The fault zone varies from 3 to 10 meters in width, and is characterized by intense silicification, oxidation and clay alteration which generally has obliterated primary textures and original minerals in the volcanic rocks. Our initial samples from the strongly altered and mineralized area returned gold values varying from 0.3 up to 5.9 g/t.

Initial geological mapping and sampling of road cuts and outcrop exposures in the property outlined the main mineralization and alteration zone which has been traced in outcrops for more than 4 kilometers along strike and approximately 300 to 500 meters wide.

 
24

 


Our current mapping and sampling at the Aurora project has identified several alteration assemblages including mainly:
 
Phyllic (quartz-sericite-sulfide) alteration is mainly present as a veinlet-controlled event represented by quartz-only and quartz-sulfides veinlets with sericite alteration halos. This quartz-sericite alteration is particularly well exposed to the west of the altered area.
 
Quartz-tourmaline and tourmaline alteration is exhibited through all the north part of the property mainly as part of quartz-tourmaline breccias bodies.
 
Supergene event is represented by two alteration assemblages:
 
-
Argillic alteration is characterized by sericite and coarse-grained sericite which is mainly developed in the central and west portions of the property; and
 
-
The advanced argillic alteration represented by secondary alunite and clays.
 
Leached capping at the Aurora project resulted from the oxidation of primary sulfides (primarily chalcopyrite and pyrite) and in general is spatially related to the phyllic, argillic and advanced argillic alteration assemblages. Aurora presents predominantly goethite-hematite and goethite-jarosite leached capping.
 
Results from this recent sampling of this mineralized area returned values ranging most of them from trace to 1.3 g/t Au, while copper mineralization within the quartz-sericite and leached capping area returned values ranging mainly from 40 to 1771 ppm. These results have confirmed the presence of the Aurora altered and mineralized zone, which main highlights are:
 
a mineralized area of about 500 x 4,000 meters within Aurora project limits;
 
an alteration and mineralization zone open to the northwest; and
 
a mineralized area with an estimated peak value of 5.9 g/t gold and 0.17% copper spatially associated with a very intense oxidized and leached area.

 Figure 5. Sample Results.

Infrastructure

The property is located 4 km south of a major paved highway just west of the town of San Javier.  Access to the property is via an all-weather gravel road in good condition.  There is a power line running parallel to the highway.  We have not determined if adequate water is available in the area.  There is no telephone service in the area, and communication is with satellite phone or two-way radio.

Budget

We estimate the budget for an initial exploration program at approximately $396,000.  The initial program includes geochemical sampling, mapping, trenching and sampling, and will have the goal of identifying drill targets for a subsequent drilling program.  We have applied for drilling permits and environmental permits so that we may start a drilling program in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011.  We do not currently have the funds to conduct this drilling program, and even if we obtain such funds, we may not begin this drilling program within the projected time.

GAVILAN PROJECT

Location

The Gavilan project is located 90 km northwest of Hermosillo, the capital city of Sonora State, and 100 km southeast of the deep-water port of Puerto Libertad on the Gulf of California. The project lies in the western part of Sonora near the coast; access and infrastructure are excellent as the property is located near major paved roads and power lines.
 
 

 
26

 


Land Area
 
The Gavilan project comprises two concessions: 1) Gavilan (E-82/34020) covering 678 hectares, and 2) Gavilan (E-34553) with 46.1028 hectares. The total area is 724.1028 hectares.
Figure 6. Concessions comprising the Gavilan project.

Current Agreements regarding mining concessions

Axiom Mexico may acquire a 100% interest in the Gavilan concessions pursuant to an option agreement with an individual dated October 15, 2010 (with an effective date of December 15, 2010) by making US$250,000 in staged payments, as amended, over a period of four years as follows: $10,000 upon signing the option agreement (paid), $15,000 payment due June 15, 2011(extended to December 15, 2011), $20,000 payment due December 15, 2011 (extended to June 15, 2012), $25,000 payment due June 15, 2012 (extended to December 15, 2012), $25,000 payment due December 15, 2012 (extended to June 15, 2013), $40,000 payment due June 15, 2013 (extended to December 15, 2013), $40,000 payment due December 15, 2013 (extended to June 15, 2014) , and $75,000 payment due December 15, 2014. There is no underlying royalty on the Gavilan concessions.

 
27

 


Exploration History

Prior to our acquisition of the property, Gavilan was not tested or explored by modern exploration techniques. Gavilan is an early-stage project.

Geology

Gavilan is dominated by volcanic rocks composed mainly of dacitic tuffs, rhyolite domes and other tuffs.  Initial mapping and sampling indicated discontinuous outcrops of quartz veins trending north and north-northwest. Quartz veining in sheeted zones and local stockwork areas greater than 12 meters wide have returned values ranging from trace to 6.06 g/t Au and trace to 25 g/t Ag. The style of mineralization suggests a low sulfidation system.

Figure 7. Gavilan project geology.

Infrastructure

The property is located 10 km east of a major paved highway.  Access to the property is via an all-weather gravel road in good condition.  There is a power line running parallel to the highway.  Axiom Mexico has not determined if adequate water is available in the area.  There is no telephone service in the area, and communication is by satellite phone or two way radio.

 
28

 


Budget

Axiom Mexico estimates the budget for an initial exploration program at $127,500.  The initial program may include geochemical sampling, mapping, trenching and sampling, and will have the goal of identifying drill targets for a subsequent drilling program.  We have not started our exploration program on these concessions and any subsequent drill program has not been budgeted as of the date of this report.

Competition

We compete with other mining and exploration companies in connection with the acquisition of mining claims and leases on gold and other precious metals prospects and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.  Many of these companies are much larger than us, 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 any of our properties.
There is significant competition for the limited number of gold and silver acquisition opportunities available and, as a result, we may be unable to continue to acquire attractive gold and silver mining properties on terms we consider acceptable.

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

Governmental Regulations

Our business is subject to various levels of government controls and regulations, which are supplemented and revised from time to time. Any mineral exploration activity conducted by us requires permits from governmental authorities.  The various levels of government controls and regulations address, among other things, the environmental impact of mining and mineral processing operations and establish requirements for the decommissioning of mining properties after operations have ceased. With respect to the regulation of mining and processing, legislation and regulations in various jurisdictions establish performance standards, air and water quality emission standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of operations, including health and safety standards. Legislation and regulations also establish requirements for decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mining properties following the cessation of operations, and may require that some former mining properties be managed for long periods of time. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, we may be subject to foreign investment controls and regulations governing our ability to remit earnings abroad.

Axiom Mexico’s operations and properties are subject to a variety of governmental regulations including, among others, regulations promulgated by SEMARNAT, Mexico’s environmental protection agency; the Mexican Mining Law; and the regulations of the Comisión National del Agua with respect to water rights.  Mexican regulators have broad authority to shut down and/or levy fines against facilities that do not comply with regulations or standards.  If Axiom Mexico puts any of its properties into production, operations may also be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.  

The need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits will increase the cost of operation and may delay exploration. All permits required for the conduct of mining operations, including the construction of mining facilities, may not be obtainable, which would have an adverse effect on any mining project we might undertake.  Additionally, failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing exploration to cease or be curtailed.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

 
29

 


Amendments to current governmental laws and regulations affecting mining companies, or the more stringent application thereof, could adversely affect our operations.  The extent of any future changes to governmental laws and regulations cannot be predicted or quantified. Generally, new laws and regulations result in increased compliance costs, including costs for obtaining permits, delays or fines resulting from loss of permits or failure to comply with the new requirements.

To keep our Mexican mineral concessions in good standing with the Government of Mexico, Axiom Mexico must pay yearly property taxes.  These taxes are based on a tariff per hectare and per the number of years (maturity) of each concession.  The taxes are paid twice a year.  Axiom Mexico is in compliance with all of our tax payments to the government.

Axiom Mexico is also subject to the tax laws of Mexico and its tax year is on a calendar basis.
We believe that we are in compliance with all material current government controls and regulations at each of our properties.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

Our current exploration plan and any future mining operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, mine construction, and protection of endangered and protected species. We have made, and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.  In the event that we make a mineral discovery and decide to proceed to production, the costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws and regulations could stop us from proceeding with a project or the operation or further improvement of a mine or increase the costs of improvement or production.

In Mexico, Axiom Mexico is required to submit, for government approval, a reclamation plan for each of its mining sites that establishes its obligation to reclaim property after minerals have been mined from the site. In some jurisdictions, bonds or other forms of financial assurances are required as security for these reclamation activities. Axiom Mexico may incur significant costs in connection with these restoration activities. The unknown nature of possible future additional regulatory requirements and the potential for additional reclamation activities create uncertainties related to future reclamation costs.

Employees

We currently have four employees working for us.  We currently have no direct employees in Axiom Mexico, and all of the geologists we have in the field and administration staff in offices at this time are under contract to a third-party service provider.

All mineral exploration and operations will be contracted out to third parties.  In the event that our exploration projects are successful and warrant putting any of our properties into production, such operations may also be contracted out to third parties.  We rely on members of management to handle all matters related to business development and business operations.
  
For the year ended August 31, 2011 compared to the year ended August 31, 2010.

Results of Operations

Revenues. Since inception, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.  Our ability to generate revenues has been significantly hindered by our lack of capital. We hope to generate revenues as we implement our new business plan.

 
30

 


Operating Expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2011, our total operating expenses were $5,390,000 as compared to total operating expenses of $28,000 for the year ended August 31, 2010. Our total operating expenses consist of, primarily, non-cash compensation and consulting expenses ($3,854,000), exploration expense ($119,000)and professional fees related to being a public company ($252,000) . In addition we recorded a charge for the impairment of goodwill ($525,000) related to our acquisition of Axiom Mexico. We expect that we will continue to incur significant exploration expenses as we grow and significant professional fees related to being a public company.

Net Loss.  For the year ended August 31, 2011, our net loss was $5,411,000, as compared to the year ended August 31, 2010, in which our net loss was $28,000.  A large part of our net loss is from non-cash items attributed to hiring and maintaining quality personnel through the issuance of shares and options.  We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and until we generate significant revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We had cash of $246,000 as of August 31, 2011 which is a significant portion of our total assets.  We had cash of $153 as of August 31, 2010, which equals our total assets as of that date. The increase in the amount of our cash from 2010 to 2011 is due to our raising of capital through the sale of our securities. We are seeking to raise additional funds to meet our working capital needs principally through the sales of our securities.  As of the date of this report, we do not have any commitments to raise any such funds, and we may not be able to raise additional funds.  
 
As of August 31, 2011, our total liabilities were $377,122 comprised of $331,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including, $25,000 and $100,000  owed to our President and our Director - Business Development, respectively, for accrued compensation and expenses), $16,000 in payables to related parties, and $30,000 in notes payable to non-affiliates. In our year ended August 31, 2011, our current liabilities owed to Mr. Johnson, our former president, were waived by him. As of August 31, 2010, our total liabilities of $6,000 consisted of accounts payable of $4,000 and related party liabilities of $2,000 from the officer of the Company, Nigel Johnson, for charges for administrative services provided to us.
 
At inception, we sold 20,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and director for $500 in cash. In 2008, we sold an additional 4,483,400 shares of common stock through our public offering for proceeds of $112,085. We have used the proceeds from the cash raised in that offering to pay the legal and accounting costs of being a public company. For the year ended August 31, 2011, we sold 4,324,000 shares of common stock through our public offering for gross proceeds of $1,081,000.  We recorded $96,850 of costs related to the offering.  We used the proceeds from this offering for general working capital to pay the costs of operations.
 
During fiscal 2012, we expect that our business plan for exploration of mineral properties will be a significant cost to us and to complete that plan we will need to raise substantial funds.  Furthermore, if we find additional properties for acquisitions that may also require significant capital, not only for the actual acquisition but also for any exploration work that may need to be completed.  As well, the legal and accounting costs of being a public company will continue to impact our liquidity and we will need to obtain funds to pay those expenses. Other than the anticipated exploration costs, acquisition costs, increases in legal and accounting costs due to the reporting requirements of being a reporting company, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
 
In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements to operate at our current level of activity for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. In order to implement our business plan in the manner we envision, we will need to raise additional capital.  We cannot guaranty that we will be able to raise additional funds. Moreover, in the event that we can raise additional funds, we cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms. In the event that we experience a shortfall in our capital, we hope that our officers, directors and principal shareholders will contribute funds to pay for our expenses to achieve our objectives over the next twelve months.  At this time, though, we do not have any arrangement with any of our officers, directors or shareholders to provide any funding for the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of
Axiom Gold and Silver Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Axiom Gold and Silver Corp. as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2011, and for the period from inception of exploration stage (September 1, 2010) through August 31, 2011, and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the periods from inception of prior operations (February 13, 2007) through August 31, 2010 and inception of exploration stage (September 1, 2010) through August 31, 2011.  Axiom Gold and Silver Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Axiom Gold and Silver Corp. as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2011, and the period from inception of exploration stage (September 1, 2010) through August 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue, and has accumulated significant losses and an accumulated deficit during its exploration stage.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1
Nature of Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Axiom Gold and Silver Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on February 13, 2007 under the name TC Power Management Corp. and originally formed for the purpose of providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development and implementation of energy generating solutions. Effective September 1, 2010, the Company changed its business strategy and is currently in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. Accordingly, as of September 1, 2010, the Company is considered to be an exploration stage company.  On May 10, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Axiom Gold and Silver Corporation.  In addition, the Amendment increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000 and authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 preferred shares, the terms of which may be determined by the Board of Directors without the vote of shareholders. Effective November 1, 2010, the Company enacted a four-for-one (4:1) forward stock split. All share and per share data in these consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.

On January 13, 2011, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement with Axiom Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V (“Axiom Mexico”) whereby through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Acquisition Corp, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico, by the issuance of  two million (2,000,000) of its common shares.  The shares were issued to the shareholders of Axiom Mexico on a pro rata basis as to their ownership of Axiom Mexico.  Axiom Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Axiom Mexico and the separate corporate existence of Axiom Acquisition Corp. ceased.  Axiom Mexico, as the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company continues its existence under its current name and continues to be governed by the laws of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.    The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of Axiom Mexico, as in effect immediately prior to the merger, will be the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the surviving corporation in the merger until duly amended or repealed.  The members of the Board of Directors of Axiom Mexico, immediately prior to the merger are the members of the Board of Directors of Axiom Mexico as the surviving corporation in the merger until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the surviving corporation in the merger, or as otherwise provided by law.  The officers of Axiom Mexico immediately prior to the merger are the initial officers of Axiom Mexico as the surviving corporation in the merger until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. The acquisition is accounted for as a basic business combination with the Company as the acquirer of Axiom Mexico.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 2
Going Concern
 

 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has no established source of revenue, and has accumulated significant losses and an accumulated deficit during its exploration stage. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused shareholders to express substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:

 
The Company’s current assets are not deemed to be sufficient to fund ongoing expenses related to the start up of planned principal operations. In order to implement its business plan, the Company needs to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings or through loans from shareholders or others. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully raise additional capital and eventually attain profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or execute its business strategy.

 
Note 3
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 

 
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Minerals de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. effective as of the date of its acquisition January 13, 2011.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Exploration Stage Company – As of September 1, 2010, the Company became an “exploration stage company” as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7, and is subject to compliance with ASC Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  For the period from February 13, 2007 (Inception) to August 31, 2010, the Company was a “development stage company” in accordance with ASC Topic 915.  Deficits accumulated prior to becoming an “exploration stage company” have been separately presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency).  To date, the Company’s planned principal operations have not fully commenced.

Note 3
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 

Property and equipment – Furniture and equipment are originally recorded at their cost of acquisition.  Depreciation is calculated through the straight-line method on initial monthly balances of the assets, based on the estimated useful lives of assets, as follows:

 
Average
Years

Furniture and fixtures                                                                                                                           10
Computer equipment                                                                                                                            3

Mineral Property Costs - The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any significant revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.  Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are currently expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property are capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 

 
Foreign Currency Translation – Axiom Mexico considers the Mexican peso (“MXN”) to be its functional currency. Assets and liabilities were translated into US dollars (“US$”) as of August 31, 2011 at the period end exchange rate of 1.00 MXN to US $0.0801.  Income and expense amounts for the period January 13, 2011 through August 31, 2011 were translated using the average rates during the period of 1.00 MXN to US $0.084.

Equity-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation: Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant.  The fair value of the Company’s equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.

The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to receive cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At August 31, 2011, the entire deferred tax asset, which arises primarily from our operating losses, has been fully reserved because management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the net operating loss carry forwards will be realized in the future.  Axiom Minerals is subject to the tax laws of Mexico and its tax year is on a calendar basis.

Note 3
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 

At August 31, 2011, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  As of August 31, 2011, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.  The Company  currently has no federal or state tax  examinations  in progress  nor has it had  any  federal  or  state  tax  examinations  since  its inception.  All of the Company's tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share – Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period, such as common shares that could result from the potential exercise or conversion of securities into common stock.

Financial Instruments – The carrying values of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and related party payables approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash in banks. Cash is maintained in accounts with major financial institutions in the form of demand deposits and the Company has not experienced any losses on such deposits.

 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-28 “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is required if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, after considering whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2010-28 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

There are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or operating results.

Subsequent Events – In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date.

Mineral Properties

We currently have an interest in two properties, Aurora and Gavilan, located in Sonora, Mexico. Initially our exploration activities will be concentrated mainly in these two properties.  We are also trying to acquire additional projects in Mexico but may not prove successful in obtaining additional properties. None of the properties have proven reserves.

GAVILAN PROJECT

Effective June 17, 2011, we granted our CFO an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.25 per share, the agreed upon fair value at date of grant. The option vests over a two year period and expires 10 years from date of grant. The fair value of the option, $114,464, was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The expense recorded in the year ended August 31, 2011 was $49,888. The fair value of the option is charged to operations as share-based expense over the vesting period. 

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The following weighted-average assumptions were made in estimating fair value:

2010 Stock Option Plan
The Plan, adopted by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2011, is intended to provide an incentive to our executive officers, directors, employees, independent contractors or agents who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth and/or profitability. The purpose of granting options to such persons under the Plan is to attract them to consider employment with, or service to, us, to encourage their continued employment or service, and to give them incentive to provide their best efforts to us for purposes of enhancing shareholder value.

A total of up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for the implementation of the Plan, either through the issuance of options to eligible persons in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory options which are subject to restricted property treatment under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. Whenever practical, the Plan is to be administered by a committee of not less than two members of the Board of Directors appointed by the full Board, and the Plan has a term of ten years, unless sooner terminated by the Board. As of August 31, 2011, 50,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the plan.

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 39% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

At August 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $751,000 of capitalized pre-operating costs that have not been deducted for tax purposes.  These costs will be amortized in the 180 month period beginning June 1, 2011, the commencement of exploration operations. No tax benefit has been reported in the August 31, 2011 and 2010 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
 
Based upon historical net losses and the Company being in the exploration stage, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset.  The valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,878,000 and $11,000 in the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes (Continued)
 
Axiom Mexico is subject to the following Mexican taxes:

a.
Income tax is incurred at the rate of 30%.

b.
The IETU tax is incurred at the rate of 17.5%.   The taxable base is determined by totaling the revenues collected, less certain deductions paid, including the deduction of investments.

The tax incurred is reduced by certain credits related to investment in fixed assets and inventories not deducted when the law was enacted , as well as the ISR effectively paid in the year, in such a way that the IETU will be paid only on the difference between the ISR and IETU incurred, when the latter is greater.

c.
The Cash Deposit Tax Law (LIDE) tax is incurred at the rate of 3% on cash deposits that on an accumulated basis exceed $ 15,000 a month, bearing in mind that it must be applied by each institution in the Mexican financial system. The IDE may be credited against ISR for the same year and, as the case be, against the ISR withheld from third parties.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, in accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of John Larson, our Chief Executive Officer and Frank Lamendola, our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, Dr. Larson and Mr. Lamendola concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.  The reason we believe our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective is because:

 
1.
Only one independent director;
 
2.
No segregation of duties;
 
3.
No audit committee; and
 
4.
Ineffective controls over financial reporting.
 
Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting

John Larson, our Chief Executive Officer and Frank Lamendola, our Chief Financial Officer, were responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 
64

 


Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2011.   In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of August 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria, due to the following:

·
 
 
·
We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over our financial statements. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be a financial expert.
 
We do not maintain appropriate cash controls – Due to our very limited staff, including accounting personnel, we lack a proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash process.
 
In light of this conclusion and as part of the preparation of this report, we have applied compensating procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Once we have adequate capital and sufficient personnel available we will establish the following remediation measures:

     
 
1.
Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in fiscal 2012.
   
 
2.
We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of our monthly financial reporting, including segregating the cash processes and the accounting functions.

Stock Option and other Compensation Plans
 
2010 Stock Option Plan
The Plan, adopted by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2011, is intended to provide an incentive to our executive officers, directors, employees, independent contractors or agents who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth and/or profitability. The purpose of granting options to such persons under the Plan is to attract them to consider employment with, or service to, us, to encourage their continued employment or service, and to give them incentive to provide their best efforts to us for purposes of enhancing shareholder value.

A total of up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for the implementation of the Plan, either through the issuance of options to eligible persons in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory options which are subject to restricted property treatment under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. Whenever practical, the Plan is to be administered by a committee of not less than two members of the Board of Directors appointed by the full Board, and the Plan has a term of ten years, unless sooner terminated by the Board. During the year ended August 31, 2011, options to purchase 6,950,000 shares of common stock were granted under the plan.

As of August 31, 2011 and 2010, there are no other stock option plans, stock appreciation rights, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors.

In February 2007, we issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to Gordon Douglas, our ex-president, in consideration of $500 cash.
 
Gordon Douglas, our ex-president, has advanced funds to us for our legal, audit, filing fees, general office administration and cash needs. As of August 31, 2010, Mr. Douglas advanced us $11,704 for our benefit and $8,300 has been repaid by us to Mr. Douglas. There is no written agreement evidencing the advancement of funds by Mr. Douglas or the repayment of the funds to Mr. Douglas. The entire transaction was verbal.  As of August 31, 2010, Mr. Douglas waived the debt owed to him and no payments are due to Mr. Douglas.

 As of August 31, 2010  we had a loan payable of $2,250  to our former officer, Nigel Johnson, for administrative services provided to us. On October 20, 2010, Mr. Johnson waived the debt owed to him and no payments are due to Mr. Johnson.

Through February 2011, our principal office was rented by Mr. Sanders, our former president and current director. We do not own nor lease our office space.

An amount of $500 per month, the estimated fair value, has been charged as rent expense with an offset to additional paid-in capital.  Related party rent expense amounted to $3,000 in the year ended August 31, 2011.  Mr. Sanders is a partner at Sanders Ortoli Vaughn-Flam Rosenstadt LLP, a law firm that we have engaged since September 2010 to provide us with legal advice.

Consulting services are provided by an entity in which one of our Directors is an owner. There is approximately $4,000 in related party payables and $51,000 in expense as of and for the year ended August 31, 2011, respectively.

Consulting services are provided by an entity in which two of our stockholders are owners. There is approximately $1,200 in related party payables and $7,500 in expenses as of and for the year ended August 31, 2011.

We are obligated to our Chief Executive Officer for accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursable expenses as of August 31, 2011 in the amount of approximately $25,000.
 
We are obligated to our Director - Business Development, who is also a stockholder, for accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursable expenses as of August 31, 2011 in the amount of approximately $100,000.
