GRYPHON RESOURCES, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Table of Contents
PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Gryphon Resources, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 16, 2006. We are a mineral exploration company and are exploring for gold, silver and copper-porphyry; and lithium on two different properties in Arizona, USA.
(Hereinafter Gryphon Resources, Inc. may herein be referred to: “Gryphon Resources”, “Gryphon”, “We”, “Us”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”).
The Company’s common stock is traded in the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market under the symbol “GRYO”. Prior to our current fiscal year, our shares also traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, but such listing ceased due to the failure of a primary market-maker to file an updated Form 15-2c11 to comply with FINRA guidelines related to minimum required trading activity.
Our fiscal year end is September 30th.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors should be considered in connection with an evaluation of the business of our business:
THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO JUDGE ITS PROSPECTS.
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company's shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ARE UNCERTAIN.
For the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $(353,621) and have incurred net losses since inception of $(661,509), net of a non-cash gain of $97,920. The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
THE VALUE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR ITS SHARES AND THE PENNY STOCK RULES.
There is only a limited trading market for the Company's shares. The Company's common stock is traded in the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market (‘Pink Sheets’) and "bid" and "asked" quotations regularly appear on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "GRYO". Prior to our current fiscal year, our shares also traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, but such listing ceased due to the failure of a primary market-maker to file an updated Form 15-2c11 to comply with FINRA guidelines related to minimum required trading activity. There can be no assurance that the Company's common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of the Company's common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the "penny stock rules" which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules.
FUTURE SALES OF SHARES MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK.
If required, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock. Future sales of shares by the Company or its stockholders could cause the market price of its common stock to decline.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of mineralized zones or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO OPERATING HAZARDS AND RISKS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The Company does not have general liability insurance covering its operations and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition.
THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER INDUSTRY REGULATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.
The Company's activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
The operations of the Company include exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and 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. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, 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 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 and, in particular, environmental laws.
COMPETITION MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO ACQUIRE ATTRACTIVE METALS PROPERTIES, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS.
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of metals acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive metals properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by the Company on properties it intends to acquire will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.
DOWNWARD FLUCTUATIONS IN METAL PRICES MAY SEVERELY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY.
The Company has no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the metals for which it is exploring. A significant decline in such prices would severely reduce the value of the Company.
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY RELIES ON CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS AND THE LOSS OF ONE OF THESE CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY.
The Company's success depends to a certain degree upon certain a key member of the management. This individual is a significant factor in the Company's growth and success. The loss of the service of current members of the management and advisory board could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President & CEO, CFO, PAO, Secretary & Treasurer, Chair & Director of the Company, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAINTAIN KEY MAN INSURANCE TO COMPENSATE THE COMPANY FOR THE LOSS OF CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS.
Due to cost considerations, the Company does not anticipate putting key man insurance in place in respect of its senior officer or personnel.
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DEPOSIT OR "RESERVE" EXISTS ON ANY PROPERTIES FOR WHICH THE COMPANY HAS, OR MIGHT OBTAIN, AN INTEREST.
The Company is an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists on any properties for which the Company currently has (through an option) or may have (through potential future joint venture agreements or acquisitions) an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If the Company fails to find a commercially viable deposit on any of its properties, its financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
WE REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS MERELY TO DETERMINE WHETHER COMMERCIAL METAL DEPOSITS EXIST ON OUR PROPERTIES.
Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
|
§
|
Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
|
|
§
|
Availability and costs of financing;
|
|
§
|
Ongoing costs of production;
|
|
§
|
Market prices for the metals to be produced;
|
|
§
|
Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
|
|
§
|
Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.
|
GENERAL MINING RISKS
Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from any resource properties the Company may acquire. Metal prices have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, and allowable production and importing and exporting of metals can adversely affect the Company. There can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects it may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Summary
At September 30, 2011, the Company’s material property investments comprise: (i) an option to purchase certain mineral exploration rights to a property in south-central Arizona, USA, named the Cruce Property on which the Company is primarily exploring for gold, silver and copper-porphyry, all leases on which are currently in good standing; and (ii) an option to purchase certain mineral exploration rights to a property in south-eastern Arizona, USA, named the L.G. Property on which the Company is primarily exploring for lithium, of which the Company has let lapse approximately 90% of the leases thereunder.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, during the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company determined its mineral property acquisition costs were impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $121,000. At present, the Company has no mineral property balances which are classified as assets under generally accepted accounting principles.
Cruce Map
CRUCE PROPERTY
Cruce Property Area of Interest
The Cruce Property covers 560 acres and is located approximately 40 miles north of Tucson in south-central Arizona. The Cruce Agreement area of interest is composed of all lands within that area in the State of Arizona described as: Section 16, Township 8 South, Range 14 East, G&SR Mer., and three miles extended in each direction from the exterior boundaries of Section 16.
Cruce Property Agreement:
As executed on January 21, 2011 (the "Cruce Execution Date"') and amended on January 25, 2011, the Company entered into an option to purchase certain mineral exploration rights to a property in Arizona, USA, named the Cruce Property from two individuals (collectively the “Cruce Vendors”). The Cruce Vendors each owned a 50% interest in the mineral exploration rights to the Cruce Property and held the sole right, title and interest to the Cruce Property exploration rights (subject to the rights and title of the State of Arizona), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Through the option agreement (the “Cruce Agreement”), the Cruce Vendors granted an exclusive option to the Company to purchase a 100% undivided right, title and interest in the Cruce Vendors’ rights to the Cruce Property, and the Company acquired an option to purchase the Cruce Vendors’ rights to the Cruce Property from the Cruce Vendors, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Cruce Agreement, as amended (incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4).
To exercise the option included in the Cruce Agreement (the “Cruce Option”), the Company must: (i) pay the aggregate sum of $265,000 to the Cruce Vendors; (ii) incur an aggregate of at least $335,000 of exploration expenditures on the Cruce Property; and (iii) issue to the Cruce Vendors an aggregate of 2,600,000 restricted shares of common stock in Gryphon (or any public company created by Gryphon for the purpose of development of the Cruce Property), based on the following schedules:
(a)
|
Cash sums on or before the dates described below:
|
||
(i) |
$40,000 upon execution of the Letter of Intent regarding the Cruce Agreement (such payment which has been made)
|
||
|
(ii)
|
$50,000 on or before November 30, 2011 (such payment which has not been made); | |
|
(iii)
|
$75,000 on or before November 30, 2012; | |
|
(iv)
|
$100,000 on or before November 30, 2013; and | |
(b)
|
Share issuances on or before the dates described below:
|
||
|
(i) |
100,000 shares upon execution of the Cruce Agreement (such issuance which has been made and was valued at $6,000);
|
|
|
(ii)
|
100,000 shares on or before November 30, 2011 (such issuance which has subsequently been made and was valued at $1,000); | |
|
(iii)
|
200,000 shares on or before November 30, 2012; and | |
|
(iv)
|
200,000 shares on or before November 30, 2013. |
Once the Company has paid the Cruce Option price in full, the Company will have exercised the Cruce Option and have acquired an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to the Cruce Property, the Company will then be obligated to pay the following additional consideration:
(a)
|
2,000,000 restricted shares of Gryphon common stock;
|
|
(b)
|
a minimum annual royalty of $250,000 on or before November 30, 2014 and a minimum annual royalty of $250,000 every 12 months for each year that Gryphon holds the Cruce Property;
|
|
(c)
|
a 3% (three percent) Net Returns Royalty on all minerals actually produced and sold from the Cruce Property.
|
The parties also agreed that the Company will incur the following amounts on exploration expenditures on the Cruce Property:
(i)
|
$60,000 within 12 months following the Cruce Execution Date.
|
||
(ii)
|
an additional $75,000 on or before 24 months following the Cruce Execution Date;
|

$100,000 on or before 48 months following the Cruce Execution Date.
|
Upon the failure of the Company to deliver or spend the consideration comprising the Cruce Option price within the time periods set forth herein, the Cruce Agreement will terminate 30 days after the Cruce Vendors give the Company written notice of such failure (during which time the Company may deliver or spend the consideration overdue, and therefore maintain the Cruce Agreement in good standing). As of the date of these financial statements, the Company had made all shares payments currently due under the terms of Cruce Agreement and had expended the entire required amount of its first year work commitment. The Company met it first scheduled cash installment of $40,000 to the Cruce Vendors, but is currently late on its second scheduled cash installment of $50,000 which was due by November 30, 2011. The Cruce Vendors have not indicated they plan to give the Company any written notice which would cause a termination of the Cruce Agreement.
L.G. PROPERTY
L.G. Property Area of Interest
The L.G. Agreement area of interest is composed of all lands within that area in the State of Arizona described as: T5S, R23 and 24E; T6S, R23, 24 and 25E; T7S, R25 and 26E; R26 and 27E; T9S, R26 and 27E; R10S, R26 and 27E and Sections 15 through 22 and 27 through 35 in T5S, R25E; Sections 6, 7, and 8, 16 through 23, and 25 through 36 in T6S, R26E; Sections 1 through 6 and 10 through 12 in T7S, R23E; Sections 1 through 18 in T7S, R24E; Sections 3 through 9, 16 through 20, and 29 through 33 in T7S, R27E; Sections 1, 2, 11through 14, 24, 25, and 36 in T8S, R25E, G&SR Mer.
Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company did not make United States Bureau of Land Management ('BLM') property maintenance payments covering 10 lease sections on approximately 4091 acres and therefore these leases have lapsed. The Company had also previously let lapse one other BLM lease. These areas cover approximately 90% of the claim areas included in the L.G. Agreement. The Company is currently reviewing whether it will re-stake these claims in the future.
L.G.. Property Agreement
As executed on July 19, 2010 (the "'L.G. Execution Date") and amended on February 27, 2011, the Company entered into an option to purchase certain mineral exploration rights to a property in south-eastern Arizona, USA, named the L.G. Property from two individuals (collectively the “L.G. Vendors”). The Vendors each owned a 50% interest in the mineral exploration rights to the L.G. Property and held the sole right, title and interest to the L.G. Property exploration rights (subject to the rights and title of the State of Arizona), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Through the option agreement, as amended (the “L.G. Agreement”), the L.G. Vendors granted an exclusive option to the Company to purchase a 100% undivided right, title and interest in the L.G. Vendors’ rights to the L.G. Property, and the Company acquired an option to purchase L.G. Vendors’ rights to the L.G. Property from the L.G.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The Company’s shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Section 15(g), the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and must have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, Section 15(g) may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and the secondary market; terms important to an understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customer’s rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2011, on December 8, 2011, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to Vendors of the Cruce Property. This transaction was valued at a board approved value of $0.01 per share for total deemed proceeds of $1,000. These shares are deemed "restricted" securities under the Securities Act and may not be sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 12,300,000 restricted common shares which included payment from the September 30, 2011 balance of $106,000 of Common Shares Subscribed But Not Issued shown on the September 30, 2011 balance sheet included in this Report; plus an additional $17,000 raised subsequent to year end. The total value of this private placement was $123,000 and represented the sale of 12,300,000 restricted common shares at a price of $0.01 per share. These shares were issued to offshore investors pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising regarding this offering.

These sections provide that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in initial public offerings. The words, such as "may," "would," "could," "anticipate," "estimate," "plans," "potential," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "believe," "intend" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-K and include all statements that are not statements of historical fact regarding intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, our directors or our officers, with respect to, among other things: (i) our liquidity and capital resources; (ii) our financing opportunities and plans; (iii) continued development of business opportunities; (iv) market and other trends affecting our future financial condition; (v) our growth and operating strategy. Investors and prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. The factors that might cause such differences include, among others, the following: (i) we have incurred significant losses since our inception; (ii) any material inability to successfully develop our business plans; (iii) any adverse effect or limitations caused by government regulations; (iv) any adverse effect on our ability to obtain acceptable financing; (v) competitive factors; and (vi) other risks including those identified in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Operational Developments during Fiscal 2011
Summer Work Program:
During summer 2011, the Company conducted an active work program on it claims and expended $111,218 for exploration and mineral license fees. Exploration to date has not yielded economically viable probable or proven reserves of lithium, gold and silver, or copper porphyry and as of the date of these financial statements, the Company is engaged in a new private placement initiatives to raise funds to support corporate requirements and further exploration in the future.
$320,000 Private Placement:
On November 29, 2010, the Company completed a private placement totalling $320,000. This financing was based on the sale of 6,400,000 restricted common shares priced at US$0.05 per share and included a debt to shares conversion which eliminated $118,846 of loans from the Company’s balance sheet.
$150,000 Private Placement:
On December 23, 2010, the Company also concluded a private placement offering of its common shares which raised aggregate proceeds of US$150,000 based on the sale of 1,500,000 restricted common shares priced at US$0.10 per share.
Staff changes:
On July 20, 2011, Mr. Stephen Sutorius resigned his positions as a Director of the Company and as Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. Mr. Sutorius resigned for personal reasons and there was no disagreement with the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices. In addition to his other duties Mr. Alan Muller assumed the position of Secretary and Treasurer concurrent with Mr. Sutorius' departure.
At the end of the summer exploration season, Mr. Nicholas Barr resigned from his role as our primary geologist so as to engage in other work opportunities, but has continued to provide support to the Company on an ad hoc basis.
Operational Developments subsequent to September 30, 2011 year end
Leases expiries:
Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company did not make United States Bureau of Land Management ('BLM') property maintenance payments covering 10 lease sections on approximately 4091 acres of its L.G. Property and therefore these leases have lapsed. The Company had also previously let lapse one other BLM lease on the L.G. Property. These areas cover approximately 90% of the claim areas included in the L.G. Agreement. The Company is currently reviewing whether it will re-stake these claims in the future.
$123,000 Private Placement:
On December 9, 2011, the Company completed a private placement totalling $123,000. This financing was based on the sale of 12,300,000 restricted common shares priced at US$0.01 per share and included application of $106,000 of funds which had been recorded on our balance sheet for the year ended September 30, 2011 as Shares Subscribed But Not Issued.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in the financial condition of Gryphon during the years ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 and the Period January 16, 2006 (date of inception) to September 30, 2011 (the “Exploration Stage”).
Revenues
Gryphon did not earn revenues during the periods included in the financial statements in this report.
Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified into five categories:
- Exploration Expenses
- Professional and Consultant Fees
- Administrative Expenses
- Investor Relations
- Mineral Properties Impairment
Exploration Expenses
Exploration expenses for the year ended September 30, 2011 totaled $111,218 compared to $32,422 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Expenses for the Exploration Stage totaled $152,749. During fiscal 2011, these expenses were primarily comprised of geologist fees, assays, and costs for mineral rights applications to the Arizona State Land Department and property rental fee deposits. We cannot predict what the level of these expenses will be during upcoming fiscal 2012.
Professional and Consultant Fees
Professional & consultant Fees are comprised of fees paid for officer and director fees, and for work performed by audit, legal and accounting professionals. During the year ended September 30, 2011 these fees totaled $81,321 compared with $41,944 for the year ended September 30, 2010. For the Exploration Stage, these costs totaled $215,669. We anticipate Professional & Consultant Fees to decrease during the upcoming fiscal year.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses were $20,517 for the year ended September 30, 2011 compared with $11,559 during the year ended September 30, 2010. For the Exploration Stage, administrative expenses totaled $53,495. These expenses are composed of Edgar agent filing fees, stock transfer agent fees and general office expenses. We anticipate Administrative Expenses will remain at current levels during the upcoming fiscal year.
Investor Relations
Investor relations expenses comprise costs for press releases, maintenance of the Company’s website and other investor information initiatives. During the year ended September 30, 2011, these expenses totaled $19,565 versus $4,610 for the year ended September 30, 2010. For the Exploration Stage, Investor Relations expenses totaled $28,828. We anticipate Investor Relations expenses will decrease during the upcoming fiscal year.
Mineral Properties Impairment
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, at year end date of September 30, 2011 the Company undertook a review of the Company’s exploration projects and affirmed an impairment charge of $121,000 which had been recorded during fiscal 2011 against its current year mineral property purchases. Mineral properties impairment charges were $42,500 for the year ended September 30, 2010 and totaled $182,498 for the Exploration Stage.
Discontinued Operations
On September 27, 2010, we sold our entire shareholding in our former Turkish subsidiary to an unrelated third party and ceased all operations in Turkey. The sale of the former subsidiary was recorded as a discontinued operation and resulted in: (i) a net loss from discontinued operations of $(16,577) for the year ended September 30, 2010 and $(112,932) in the Exploration Stage; and (ii) a non-cash gain of $97,920 in both the year ended September 30, 2010 and the Exploration Stage due to the elimination from the previously consolidated balance sheet of the Company of debt the former subsidiary had owed to a third party.
Net (Loss)
We incurred a net loss of $(353,621) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $(57,322) for the same period ended September 30, 2010. For the Exploration Stage, the Net Loss totaled $(661,509).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the date of our incorporation, we have raised $508,654 though private placements of our common shares (including $106,000 recorded as Shares Subscribed But Note Issued in our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011); $112,088 through shareholder loans and advances; and $91,038 through loans from other parties.
As of September 30, 2011 we had cash on hand of $7,073 and a prepaid expenses balance of $10,187. We estimate we will need to attempt to raise additional funds during the coming twelve months and project we will be able to raise these funds through private placements of our common shares and/or shareholder loans from our CEO.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
Other than as noted in Item 2, the Company has no material contractual obligations outstanding.
Material Events and Uncertainties
Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable early stage companies in rapidly evolving markets.
There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.
Employees
As of September 30, 2011, we had no employees and used contracted services to perform geological work, legal services and our bookkeeping. Going forward, the Company will use consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of its project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and property management and will hire additional staff as needed.
Critical Accounting Policies
Gryphon’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in NOTE 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, Gryphon views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on Gryphon’s financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risk or for speculative purposes.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Our financial statements, together with the report of auditors, are as follows:

GRYPHON RESOURCES, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Gryphon Resources, Inc.
(an Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Gryphon Resources, Inc. (an Exploration Stage Company) (the Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2011, and for the period January 16, 2006 (date of inception) to September 30, 2011. The Company’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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of Gryphon Resources, Inc. (an Exploration Stage Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2011, and for the period January 16, 2006 to September 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – Nature of Business and Operations
Gryphon Resources, Inc. is a mineral exploration enterprise which was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 16, 2006. On April 28, 2008 we incorporated a subsidiary and conducted an exploration project through this subsidiary in Turkey until September 27, 2010, at which time it was sold to an unrelated third party. Activities of this former subsidiary are treated in these financial statements as a discontinued operation. Currently our activities include exploring for lithium; and gold and silver in Arizona, USA. Our fiscal year end is September 30th. (Hereinafter Gryphon Resources, Inc. may herein be referred to: “Gryphon Resources”, “Gryphon”, “We”, “Us”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”).
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since January 16, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding Gryphon’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.
The financial statements reflect the following significant accounting policies:
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.
Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930). An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs 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 proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
GRYPHON RESOURCES, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Non-Controlling Interest
As required by GAAP, the Balance Sheet; Statements of Operations; and Statement of Cash Flows of the financial statements for the prior year ended September 30, 2010 and the Exploration Stage Period from January 16, 2006 to September 30, 2011 include the allocation to ‘Non-Controlling Interest’ of a proportionate share of the Company’s discontinued operations net losses and related accounts which pertained to the 1% ownership interest in its former subsidiary which was not owned by the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings or (Loss) per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The denominator in this calculation is adjusted to reflect any stock splits or stock dividends.
Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury method which requires the calculation of diluted loss per share by assuming that any outstanding stock options with an average market price that exceeds the average exercise prices of the options for the year, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the year. An incremental per share effect is then calculated for each option. The denominator of the diluted loss per share formula is the number common shares outstanding at balance sheet date plus the incremental shares assumed to be issued from treasury for option exercises, less the number of shares assumed to be repurchased, weighted by the period they are assumed to be outstanding. This dilution calculation did not affect current fiscal year results because the Company does not have an Option Plan and has not issued any stock options; nor equity securities equivalents such as warrants.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options; nor has it made any awards of stock, or stock equivalents.
GRYPHON RESOURCES, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3:
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years during which the differences are expected to reverse and upon the possible realization of net operating loss carry-forwards. Additionally, the Company has not recognized any amount for a tax position taken or expected to be taken on its tax return, or for any interest or penalties.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company will periodically analyze its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
Foreign Currency
The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Transactions denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statements of Operations:
|
(i)
|
Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the balance sheet date;
|
|
(ii)
|
Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and
|
|
(iii)
|
Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain sufficient funds necessary for launching a new business venture.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of precious and/or other metals and co-products will be recognized when the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred in accordance with the terms of the arrangement; the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue for precious metal bullion will be recognized at the time of delivery and transfer of title to counter-parties.
Capital Assets
Capital assets will be recorded at cost. Depreciation will be recorded based on estimated useful lives of assets at time of acquisition. At present the Company has no depreciable assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Various accounting pronouncements have been issued during 2011 and 2010, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Notes to Financial Statements
Other
The Company paid no dividends during the periods presented.
The Company consists of one reportable business segment. The Company has no revenue to report from any customers.
As at year end September 30, 2011 the Company's assets with carrying value are located in the United States.
Advertising is expensed as it is incurred.
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as at September 30, 2011, or September 30, 2010.
NOTE 3 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss of $(353,621) for the year ended September 30, 2011 and has accumulated net losses of $(661,509) since inception. Additionally the Company has had limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company is dependent on many factors, many of which have a high degree of uncertainty.
During the year ended September 30, 2011, we addressed the going concern issue by raising cash of $302,260 through private placements of our common shares (including $196,260 through common share issuances and $106,000 through deposits toward future common share issuances); and $6,500 in non-interest bearing advances from our president. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to successfully fulfill its business plan. Management plans to attempt to raise additional funds to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company through a combination of equity and debt financings. While the Company is making its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these matters.
NOTE 4 – Impairment of Mineral Properties
During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company determined its mineral property acquisition costs were impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $121,000.

NOTE 5 – Mineral Properties
L.G. Property
As executed on July 19, 2010 and amended on February 27, 2011, the Company entered into an option to purchase certain mineral exploration rights to a property in south-eastern Arizona, USA, named the L.G. Property from two individuals (collectively the “L.G. Vendors”). The Vendors each owned a 50% interest in the mineral exploration rights to the L.G. Property and held the sole right, title and interest to the L.G. Property exploration rights (subject to the rights and title of the State of Arizona), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Through the option agreement, as amended (the “L.G. Agreement”), the L.G. Vendors granted an exclusive option to the Company to purchase a 100% undivided right, title and interest in the L.G. Vendors’ rights to the L.G. Property, and the Company acquired an option to purchase L.G. Vendors’ rights to the L.G. Property from the L.G. Vendors, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the L.G. Agreement, as amended (incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2).

an additional $100,000 on or before 24 months following the L.G. Execution Date;
|

|
GRYPHON RESOURCES, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Once the Company has paid the L.G. Option price in full, the Company will have exercised the L.G. Option and have acquired an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to the L.G. Property, the Company will then be obligated to pay the following additional consideration to the L.G. Vendors:
(a)
|
1,000,000 restricted shares of Gryphon common stock;
|
|
(b)
|
a minimum annual royalty of $150,000 on or before December 31, 2014 and a minimum annual royalty of $150,000 every 12 months for each year that Gryphon holds the L.G. Property;
|
|
(c)
|
a 5% (five percent) Gross Production Royalty on lithium minerals actually produced and sold from the L.G. Property; and
|
|
(d)
|
a 3-1/2% (three and one-half percent) Net Returns Royalty on all other minerals actually produced and sold from the L.G. Property.
|
Upon the failure of the Company to deliver or spend the consideration comprising the L.G. Option price within the time periods set forth herein, the L.G. Agreement will terminate 30 days after the L.G. Vendors give the Company written notice of such failure (during which time the Company may deliver or spend the consideration overdue, and therefore maintain the L.G. Agreement in good standing). As of the date of these financial statements, the Company had made all cash and shares payments currently due under the terms of L.G. Agreement, but had not expended the entire required amount of its first year work commitment. The L.G. Vendors have not indicated they plan to give the Company any written notice which would cause a termination of the L.G. Agreement.
Cruce Property:
As executed on January 21, 2011 and amended on January 25, 2011, the Company entered into an option to purchase certain mineral exploration rights to a property in Arizona, USA, named the Cruce Property from two individuals (collectively the “Cruce Vendors”). The Cruce Vendors each owned a 50% interest in the mineral exploration rights to the Cruce Property and held the sole right, title and interest to the Cruce Property exploration rights (subject to the rights and title of the State of Arizona), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Through the option agreement (the “Cruce Agreement”), the Cruce Vendors granted an exclusive option to the Company to purchase a 100% undivided right, title and interest in the Cruce Vendors’ rights to the Cruce Property, and the Company acquired an option to purchase the Cruce Vendors’ rights to the Cruce Property from the Cruce Vendors, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Cruce Agreement, as amended (incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4).
To exercise the option included in the Cruce Agreement (the “Cruce Option”), the Company must: (i) pay the aggregate sum of $265,000 to the Cruce Vendors; (ii) incur an aggregate of at least $335,000 of exploration expenditures on the Cruce Property; and (iii) issue to the Cruce Vendors an aggregate of 2,600,000 restricted shares of common stock in Gryphon (or any public company created by Gryphon for the purpose of development of the Cruce Property), based on the following schedules:
(a)

Upon the failure of the Company to deliver or spend the consideration comprising the Cruce Option price within the time periods set forth herein, the Cruce Agreement will terminate 30 days after the Cruce Vendors give the Company written notice of such failure (during which time the Company may deliver or spend the consideration overdue, and therefore maintain the Cruce Agreement in good standing). As of the date of these financial statements, the Company had made all shares payments currently due under the terms of Cruce Agreement and had expended the entire required amount of its first year work commitment. The Company met it first scheduled cash installment of $40,000 to the Cruce Vendors, but is currently late on its second scheduled cash installment of $50,000 which was due by November 30, 2011. The Cruce Vendors have not indicated they plan to give the Company any written notice which would cause a termination of the Cruce Agreement.

The subscribers of these shares are non-US persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and the Shares will be issued in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares will be deemed "restricted" securities under the Securities Act and may not be sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
NOTE 8 – Discontinued Operation
On April 28, 2008 we incorporated a Turkish company (the “Former Subsidiary”) as a 99% owned subsidiary. The remaining balance of 1% of APM shares were held by our former CEO. In July, 2010, we re-focused our operations and began mineral exploration in Arizona, USA and on September 27, 2010, we sold our entire interest in the Former Subsidiary to an unrelated third party and ceased all operations in Turkey. The losses and cash flows of the Former Subsidiary have been presented as a discontinued operation in these financial statements. Prior year’s Statements of Operations, Equity and Cash Flows have been adjusted to reflect the effect of this discontinued operation. The sale of the Former Subsidiary also resulted in a non-cash gain of $97,920 due to the assumption of debt by the third party. This has been recorded in these statements as a gain on sale of subsidiary in discontinued operations.

NOTE 9 – Operating Leases
Office premises in the US are leased on a monthly basis. Gryphon’s office is located at suite 1313 East Maple Street, Suite 201-462, Bellingham, Washington 98225 and incurs monthly rent of $100. This rental agreement may be cancelled with one month’s notice. The Company’s CEO also provides office facilities in New Zealand free of charge to the Company.
NOTE 10 – Income Taxes
The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the United States. The Company had no income taxes payable during the reported periods due to net operating losses.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company's deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry-forwards. Net operating loss carry-forwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to the Company’s actual income taxes as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no disagreements with our accountants regarding accounting and financial disclosure matters.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in reaching that level of assurance.
As of the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2011, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2011, as a result of the identification of the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies: (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC's reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports; (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software. Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Certifying Officers reviewed our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act as of the Evaluation Date and concluded that no changes occurred in such control or in other factors during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Deficiencies identified include the inadequate segregations of duties, lack of controls over procedures used to enter transactions into the general ledger, and lack of appropriate review of the reconciliations and supporting workpapers used in the financial close and reporting process. Due to the potential pervasive effect on the financial statement account balances and disclosures and the importance of the annual and interim financial closing and reporting process, in the aggregate, management concluded that there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements could occur and would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
Addition of staff
We have identified that additional staff will be required to properly segment the accounting duties of the Company. However, we do not currently have resources to fulfill this part of our plan and will be addressing this matter once sufficient resources are available.

Officers, directors and 10% Stockholders of the Company are required by Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms so filed.
Based solely upon a review of filings made and other information available to it, the Company believes that each of the Company's present Section 16 reporting persons filed all forms required of them by Section 16(a) during the year ended September 30, 2011.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Under the rules of the Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
The following table sets forth each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of five percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock and all such persons as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
