NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED) and March 31, 2010

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Current Operations and Background — AuraSource, Inc. (“AuraSource” or “Company”) focuses on clean energy technology development. AuraSource developed the AuraFuelTM and AuraCoalTM processes. AuraSource formed AuraSource Qinzhou Co. Ltd., a WFOE in China (“Qinzhou”) to acquire these types of Hydrocarbon Clean Fuel (“HCF”) technologies, performing research and development related to HCF technology and products based on this technology, licensing HCF technology to third parties and selling services and products derived from this technology.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Qinzhou, we will conduct operations in China, to perform research and development related to HCF technology, to sell services and products related to and licenses for our HCF technology, and to possibly acquire additional HCF-related technology.

AuraCoal is patent pending technology designed to remove sulfur and ash from coal pre-combustion. This reduces energy costs and helps eliminate harmful emissions. This proprietary clean coal technology produces a coal water mixture, which contains only trace amounts of sulfur and ash and constitutes an alternative to oil or natural gas. AuraCoal can be delivered via pipeline in a non-volatile state. The conversion to an AuraCoal system is designed to deliver immediate and substantive reductions in harmful particle emissions as well as savings in transportation, processing and safety costs. AuraSource plans to commence construction of its pilot plant in November 2010 and distribute the coal based clean industrial fuel produced by this proprietary new generation of clean coal technology in 2011.

AuraFuel, which utilizes a low temperature catalytic process to convert oil shale, asphalt shale and low-ranking coal to hydrocarbon clean fuel products in a highly efficient manner. We formed Qinzhou Kai Yu Yuan New Energy Co., Ltd., a joint venture between AuraSource and Kaiyuyuan Mineral Investment Group (“KMIG”) to build an AuraFuel plant. KMIG provided the funding for this plant. AuraSource is providing the project management expertise and license for the AuraFuel process. The joint venture contracted China Shandong Metallurgical Engineering Corp. as EPC general contractor which will provide a turnkey solution under an initial operation service contract. The AuraFuel plant will utilize the AuraFuel process which AuraSource licensed from China Chemical Economic Cooperation Center (“CCECC”). CCECC is a Chinese governmental division which leads China’s energy and environmental research and development. AuraSource obtained the license for the Gulf of Tonkin Economic Region. The AuraFuel process utilizes a low temperature catalytic process to convert oil shale and low ranking coal into feedstock for the petrochemical industry.

There can be no assurance we will be able to carry out our development plans for our HCF technology, including AuraCoal and AuraFuel. Our ability to pursue this strategy is subject to the availability of additional capital and further development of our HCF technology. We also need to finance the cost of pursuing a strategy to effectively protect our intellectual property rights in the United States and abroad where we intend to market our technology and products.

Going Concern — The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and have an accumulated deficit of $3,560,832 at September 30, 2010. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue our existence. The recovery of our assets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company.

In addition, our recovery is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is undetermined. We intend to continue to attempt to raise additional capital, but there can be no certainty that such efforts will be successful.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

- 7 -

The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended March 31, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of the six months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — We consider investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at currently effective tax rates, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized on a cumulative basis in the financial statements. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award.

Foreign Currency Transactions — The Company recognizes foreign currency gains and losses in other income (expense) on the accompanying statement of operations. Foreign currency gains and losses arise as the Company conducts business with other entity’s whose functional currency is not in U.S. dollars. Generally, these gains and losses are recorded at an exchange rate difference between the foreign currency and the functional currency that arises between the transaction date and the payment date.

Net Loss Per Share — The Company computes basic and diluted net loss per share by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares related to stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended September 30, 2010 because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed FDIC insured limits.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Our financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. We also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:		Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.

Level 2:		Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

- 8 -

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and accounts payable, approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short-term maturities during which these amounts are outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB the most recent of which was Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 11, 2009, we entered into an agreement with MongSource USA, LLC whereby we transferred all rights and ownership interests in our assets relating to the exploration and development of mineral resources which includes all assets of AuraSource LLC, a Mongolian subsidiary, for the forgiveness of the Note and all amounts due under the Note.

NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

We maintain our cash balances in financial institutions that from time to time exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (up to $250,000, per financial institution as of September 30, 2010). As of September 30, 2010, our deposits exceeded insured amounts by $602,000. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and we believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Currently, we maintain a bank account in China. As of September 30, 2010, we had $641,877 in this account. This account is not insured and we believe is exposed to significant credit risk on cash.

NOTE 4 – DUE FROM AFFILIATE

As of September 30, 2010, an affiliated party holds in trust $66,843. This money is used to pay various day to day expenses. The Company is controlled by our CEO.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE

We entered into an agreement with Beijing Pengchuang Technology Development Co., Ltd. to purchase a fifty percent interest in the intellectual property related to ultrafine particle processing. Pengchuang Tech developed a highly efficient and low energy consumption grinding technology, which utilizes fluid shock waves to make ultrafine particles. This technology can be applied to the coal water slurry, solid lubricant and other material grinding processes. Through the joint development and ownership agreement, AuraSource will enrich its intellectual property portfolio, enabling the further development of AuraCoal, its Hydrocarbon Clean Fuel technology. AuraSource Qinzhou will utilize the particle grinding technology in its AuraCoal Qinzhou production line, as well as license it to others in non-related industries.

We issued 600,000 shares of common stock for with the acquisition of certain intangibles. We acquired intangibles of $753,530. The shares issued in connection with the acquired intangibles were valued at $1.01 per share or $606,000. The Companypaid cash for the remainder of the amount due..

On December 18, 2009, the BOD granted two consultants 800,000 shares of restricted stock 600,000 of which vested immediately and 200,000 of which vests quarterly over three years.

On March 1, 2010, the BOD granted two consultants 283,000 shares of common stock. The Company recorded compensation arising from the grants of $198,000 during the year ended March 31, 2010.

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company issued 400,000 shares for $1.25 per share. In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred costs of $15,000. The Company recorded net proceeds from the sale of these shares of $485,000. The Company issued 600,000 shares of common stock for with the acquisition of certain intangibles. The Company acquired intangibles of $754,412. The shares issued in connection with the acquired intangibles were valued at $1.01 per share or $606,000. The Company issued a liability for the remainder of the amount due.

NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS

In January 2009, we granted 60,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock at $3.50 per share to members of our BOD. In April 2010, we granted an additional 60,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share to certain executives of the Company. The options vest quarterly and have an expiration period of 10 years. The total grant date fair value of the outstanding options was $109,014. We will record stock based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which in our case approximates the vesting period of the options. During the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company has recorded $44,359 in compensation expense related to the vesting of options. The Company assumed all stock options issued during the quarter will vest. Though these expenses will result in a deferred tax benefit, we have a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax benefit.

The Company adopted the detailed method provided in ASC 718 for calculating the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the income tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model has assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividends, stock volatility and expected life of an option grant. The risk free interest rate is based upon market yields for United States Treasury debt securities at a 7-year constant maturity. Dividend rates are based on the Company’s dividend history. The stock volatility factor is based on the last 60 days of market prices prior to the grant date. The expected life of an option grant is based on management’s estimate. The fair value of each option grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes method, is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each stock option award.

The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:


Dividend yield		0.0%
Volatility		25% to 155%
Average expected option life	10.00 years
Risk-free interest rate		1.76% to 2.59%

Overview

AuraSource, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“AuraSource” or the “Company”) focuses on clean energy technology development. AuraSource developed the AuraFuel TM and AuraCoal TM processes. AuraSource formed AuraSource Qinzhou Co. Ltd. in China to acquire these types of Hydrocarbon Clean Fuel (“HCF”) technologies, performing research and development related to HCF technology and products based on this technology, licensing HCF technology to third parties and selling services and products derived from this technology. The Company was incorporated on November 6, 1998 and started its current business in December 2008.

Through our WFOE, we conduct operations in China, to perform research and development related to HCF technology, to sell services and products related to and licenses for our HCF technology, and to possibly acquire additional HCF-related technology.

Additionally, we formed Qinzhou Kai Yu Yuan New Energy Co., Ltd., a joint venture between AuraSource and Kaiyuyuan Mineral Investment Group (“KMIG”) to build an AuraFuel plant. KMIG provided the full funding for this plant. AuraSource is providing the project management expertise and license for the AuraFuel process. The joint venture contracted China Shandong Metallurgical Engineering Corp. as EPC general contractor which will provide a turnkey solution under an initial operation service contract. The AuraFuel plant will utilize the AuraFuel process which AuraSource licensed from China Chemical Economic Cooperation Center (“CCECC”). CCECC is a Chinese governmental division which leads China’s energy and environmental research and development. AuraSource obtained the license for the Gulf of Tonkin Economic Region. The AuraFuel process utilizes a low temperature catalytic process to convert oil shale and low ranking coal into feedstock for the petrochemical industry.

Hydrocarbon Clean Fuel (HCF) Technology

We believe our HCF technology, AuraCoalTM, is a next generation of hydrocarbon clean fuel technology. It involves grinding coal into fine particles, mixing it with water and selected chemicals to make a slurry and using a proprietary biological treatment of the coal slurry mixture to reduce heavy minerals, such as sulfur. We believe such slurry will have sufficient fluidity to move through pipelines, process delivery piping and burner injection nozzles. Our goal is to demonstrate to power plants and similar users that our HCF technology can convert their plants to use the technology at a lower cost than any current alternative. Given sufficient capital and development of our HCF technology, we plan to market it to plants in China and the United States with the objective of having a beta demonstration site in each country. Given sufficient capital, development and protection of our HCF technology, among other factors, AuraSource plans to utilize the HCF technology as follows:

·	license HCF technology to international clients in applicable industries, such as coal producers and power plants;
·	develop strategic partnerships to deliver consulting services with respect to design, engineering, procurement and construction for HCF applications;
·	enter into joint ventures with coal producers to supply HCF treated coal to power plants;
·	process coal using HCF technology and sell such coal to end users at a marked-up price;
·	assist customers to convert their plants to HCF rather than oil, gas or other natural resources in order to save energy costs; and
·	establish centers for processing coal with our HCF technology to supply power plants and other customers.

AuraCoalTM Clean Coal Technology

AuraCoal is a new generation of HCF technology. With the adoption of our proprietary AuraCoal Clean Coal technology, we believe we will be able to convert old coal systems into power generating systems that produce emissions containing only trace amounts of sulfur and ash. We believe AuraCoal technology can:

·	reduce harmful emissions and energy costs;
·	reduce and/or eliminate the need for scrubbers;
·	reduce a power plant’s need for related precipitators and/or sulfur acceptors; and
·	enable a power plant to effectively manage its carbon emissions.

AuraFuel TM

AuraSource also licensed another proprietary hydrocarbon clean fuel technology, AuraFuel, which utilizes a low temperature catalytic process to convert oil shale, asphalt shale and low-ranking coal to hydrocarbon clean fuel products in a highly efficient manner. This technology was developed by the Energy and Environmental Research Institute of Heilongjiang (“EERI”), a Chinese government owned energy research institute. EERI patented the technology and the production process. AuraSource licensed this technology for Guangxi province of China and the United States. We are currently developing our own intellectual property associated with this technology. AuraSource through its joint venture, China Qinzhou KaiYuYuan New Energy Co., Ltd. started construction on a pilot plant in April 2010 with production expected to begin in 2011. In the United States, we are currently in our planning stages and pursuing a suitable site on public or private lands to start a pilot plant in 2011.

The process is an above-ground retorting technology, which has a simple and robust design, energy self-sufficiency, minimal water usage, and high oil yields.

The AuraFuel process consists of these main steps:

1)	Crushing. Before retorting, raw oil shale is crushed into fine particles.
2)	Retorting. The AuraFuel process uses an annular rotary retort that heats raw oil shale. Due to the rotating feature, the retorting is a continuous process. The annular retort consists of several zones, including heating zone, reaction zone and heat recovery zone. Incoming raw shale goes into the heating zone in which the shale is heated. Then the shale enters the reaction zone in which pyrolysis of oil shale happens. Most of the pyrolysis is complete in the reaction zone. In the heat recovery zone, the spent shale is cooled and waste heat is recycled. After one cycle of motion, the retorting process is complete and spent shale is discharged.
3)	Post-processing. Produced oil vapors and gases are cleaned and delivered to a condensation system where oil condenses and non-condensable gases are fed back to the retort as energy sources. The oil goes through a distillation process to produce gasoline, diesel or residual oil.

HCF Overview

We believe our HCF technology will provide an emerging type of energy saving and emission reducing fuel substitute for oil. The HCF coal product appears to exhibit fuel economy, liquidity and stability, ease of loading and unloading, storage and transportation without precipitation of the product. It seems to be conducive to pumping over long-distance pipelines, transport by railway and truck tankers and maritime shipping.

- 13 -

Hydrocarbon clean fuel atomization performance depends on the energy value of coal preparation and concentration, which we believe is generally the equivalent of half the energy value of heavy oil, industrial boilers, industrial kilns, power generation boiler oil and coal combustion generation.

We believe HCF has a broad range of industrial applications. Our initial objective will be to pursue applications related to power plants and industrial boilers, including steam and hot water boilers.

First Generation Coal-Water Slurry (Slurry Generation)

The first generation of HCF occurred at the U.S. Black Mesa coal slurry pipeline, which is the only operating long-distance coal-water slurry pipeline in the world. See www.informaworld.com/index/778734328.pdf . This pipeline traverses 273 miles, with an annual capacity of 4,800,000 tons. See http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/68053/Black-Mesa-pipeline . The coal was liquefied to be transported economically.

Second Generation Hydrocarbon clean fuel (Mixture Generation)

In the second generation process, coal is a coal-water slurry physically processed with new products, consisting of approximately 65% to 70% coal and 35% to 30% water and trace chemical additives prepared in a paste, commonly known as high concentration coal-water slurry, or water coal slurry.

Third Generation Hydrocarbon clean fuel (The Ultra-Fine Coal-Water Fuel Generation)

We believe our technology will be the third generation of HCF. We believe the third generation of HCF will be a lower-cost and more efficient technology that can be used in greater depth and in a wider array of applications, and may be an alternative to oil resource applications. We expect the third generation of HCF technology will contain only trace amounts of sulfur and ash, in fine particle sizes, which allows the burning of the mixture to cause minor wear and tear on equipment. Additionally, we believe the use of ultra-fine grinding machines allows preparation of an ultra-fine paste for a new type of fuel. We believe the HCF technology may yield potential environmental advantages relative to heavy oil.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions. The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:

We account for our business acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 805, "Business Combinations." The total cost of acquisitions is allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets acquired is recorded as intangibles. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples, among other items.

We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates.

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior fiscal year amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation for the period ended September 30, 2010. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $387,128 and $224,615 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase of $162,513 in expense was due to an increase in corporate expenses.

Interest Income, Interest Expense and Other

Interest income/(expense) and other was $6,544 and $221 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is due to foreign currency exchange gains the Company incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $703,795 and $937,063 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease of $233,268 in expense was due to a decrease in stock compensation related expenses.

Interest Income, Interest Expense and Other

Interest income/(expense) and other was $7,774 and $(4,791) for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is due to foreign currency exchange gains the Company incurred in the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $760,018 and $243,783 in the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was primarily due to non-cash transaction of stock options issued for services rendered added back to operating activities in the prior year. There were no such amounts added back in the current period.

Net cash used in investing activities was $159,110 and $123,915 in the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change was due to having transferred of all rights and ownership interests in assets relating to the exploration and development of mineral resources to Mongsource for $88,567 in the six months ended September 30, 2009 and in the current period, the acquisition of intangibles for $147,530. The remaining difference is the decrease in capital equipment purchases for the six months ending September 30, 2010.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $485,000 and $1,601,718 in the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The difference of $1,116,718 in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock in 2009.

The Company suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $3,560,832 at September 30, 2010. Currently, we have not generated any revenues. The Company seeks various forms of financing.

Inflation and Seasonality

Inflation has not been material to us during the past five years. Seasonality has not been material to us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our March 31, 2010 Form 10-K for a complete description of recent accounting standards which we have not yet been required to implement and may be applicable to our operation, as well as those significant accounting standards that have been adopted during the current year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Our management, with the participation of our president and our chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
