AURASOURCE, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)

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 AuraFuel TM and AuraCoal TM processes. AuraSource formed AuraSource Qinzhou Co. Ltd., a WFOE 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.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, 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.

Additionally, we formed Qinzhou Kai Yu Yuan New Energy Co., Ltd., a joint venture between AuraSource, Mongolia Energy, 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 the 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 will 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 $3,180,247 at June 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”).

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 three months ended June 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.

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 three months ended June 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.

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 three months ended June 30, 2010, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB the most recent of which was Accounting Standards Update 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies (SEC Update).  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 6 - STOCK OPTIONS

In January 2009, we granted 60,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 to members of our BOD. The options vest quarterly starting January 1, 2009 and have an expiration period of 10 years.  We will record compensation expense of $53,628 in the quarters in which the options vest.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has recorded $8,333 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:

We assume no responsibility to update the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The following should also be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this report.

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. (“AuraSource Qinzhou Co. Ltd.” or “AC”), a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (“WFOE”) 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 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.

Additionally, we formed Qinzhou Kai Yu Yuan New Energy Co., Ltd., a joint venture between AuraSource, Mongolia Energy, 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 the 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, AuraCoal TM , 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.
 

 
- 12 -

 


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.

 
AuraCoal tm Clean Coal Technology
 
AuraCoal is patent pending technology designed to remove sulfur and ash from coal pre-combustion. This reduces energy costs and helps to eliminate harmful emissions. This proprietary clean coal technology produces a coal water mixture, which contains only trace amounts of sulfur and ash and constitutes a superb 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.
 
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 anticipating 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 the following 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.
 
 
- 13 -

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 will 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.

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.
 
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.
 
The 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.
 
The 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.
 
Competition

HCF Technology

We face competition from large companies like Arch Coal, Peabody Massey Energy Company, CONSOL Energy, Foster-Wheeler, GreatPoint Energy, Evergreen Energy, Inc., CoalTek, Inc., Babcock & Wilcox Company, and Yanzhou Coal Mining Company as well as numerous universities and government agencies who have greater financial, marketing, distribution and technological resources than we have, and they may have more well-known brand names in the markets.  They may also seek to enter and compete with us in our market.

More indirect competition comes from alternative low-pollution energy sources, including: wind, bio-fuels and solar; all of which need additional technological advancements to be able to produce power at the scale of coal-fueled plants, which today produce 43% of world’s electricity according to U.S. Department of Energy figures published in May 2008.

Patent and Trademarks
 
The Company currently relies on unregistered trademarks and patents, and confidentiality of trade secrets.  Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting the HCF proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad.  There are numerous patents or patent applications relating to HCF. We have filed for patent protection and taken the steps required to obtain international patent protection.

No assurance can be given that any patents relating to the HCF technology will be issued by the United States or any foreign patent offices.  Further, no assurance can be given that we will receive any patents in the future based on the continued development of the HCF technology, or that the HCF technology patent protection within and/or outside of the United States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or otherwise, from developing or marketing competitive products utilizing our HCF technology.  If patent protection is not available for the HCF technology, we plan to treat it as a trade secret.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in this regard.

In addition to seeking patent protection, we will rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to seek to achieve and thereafter maintain a competitive advantage in the HCF market.  Although we have entered into or intend to enter into confidentiality and invention agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors, no assurance can be given that such agreements will be honored or that we will be able to effectively protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and know-how.  Moreover, no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.
 
Government Regulations
 
United States
 
We believe that existing and proposed legislation and regulations could impact fossil fuel-fired, and specifically coal-fired, power generating facilities nationally and internationally.  
 
The following briefly describes the most significant existing national laws and regulations affecting the potential market for coal processed using our technology. State and regional policies may also impact our market.
 
The Clean Air Act and Acid Rain Program.     The Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, is currently the primary mechanism for regulating emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from coal-fired power generating facilities. A key component of the act regulates sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. Specifically, title IV set a goal of reducing sulfur dioxide emissions by 10 million tons below 1980 levels and imposed a two-phased tightening of restrictions on fossil fuel-fired power plants. Phase I began in 1995 and focused primarily on coal-burning electric utility plants in the east and midwest. In 2000, Phase II began and this phase tightened the annual emissions' limits on larger higher emitting plants and set restrictions on smaller, cleaner plants fired by coal, oil, and gas. The Acid Rain Program calls for a 2 million ton reduction in nitrogen oxide emission and focuses on one set of sources that emit nitrogen oxide: coal-fired electric utility boilers. Beginning in January 2000, nitrogen oxide emissions are to be reduced 900,000 tons per year beyond the 1.2 million per year reduction set by the EPA in 1995.
 
Clean Air Interstate Rule.     The Clean Air Interstate Rule was finalized by the EPA in March 2005. Once fully implemented, this rule will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions in 28 states and the District of Columbia by more than 70% and nitrogen oxide emissions by more than 60% from the 2003 levels. Through the use of a cap-and-trade approach, the rule promises to achieve  substantial reduction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. Reductions of nitrogen oxide emissions began in January 2009, followed by reductions of sulfur dioxide emissions in January 2010. The program will be fully implemented by January 2015.

Clean Air Mercury Rule.     The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, finalized the Clean Air Mercury Rule, or CAMR, on March 15, 2005 to reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. Phase 1 of CAMR was set to go into effect on January 1, 2010. However, on February 8, 2008, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia vacated the rule, requiring EPA to draft a new regulation. As a result of this ruling, it is likely that individual coal-fired boilers and power plants will be held to stringent levels of mercury emission reductions instead of averaging mercury emissions across multiple plants and across the country.

China

The Environmental Protection Law (“EPL”) of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) governs us and our HCF products.  The EPL, promulgated by the National People’s Congress on December 26, 1989, is the cardinal law for environmental protection in China. The law establishes the basic principle for coordinated advancement of economic growth, social progress and environmental protection, and defines the rights and duties of governments at all levels. Local environmental protection bureaus may set stricter local standards than the national standards and enterprises are required to comply with the stricter of the two sets of standards. The EPL requires any entity operating a facility that produces pollutants or other hazards to incorporate environmental protection measures into its operations and to establish an environmental protection responsibility system, which must adopt effective measures to control and properly dispose of waste gases, waste water, waste residue, dust or other waste materials.

Violators of the EPL and various environmental regulations may be subject to warnings, payment of damages and fines. Any entity undertaking construction work or manufacturing activities before the pollution and waste control and processing facilities are inspected and approved by the relevant environmental protection bureau may be ordered to suspend production or operations and may be fined. The violators of relevant environment protection laws and regulations may be exposed to criminal liability if violations result in severe loss of property, personal injuries or death.

In addition, China is a signatory to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which are intended to limit emissions of greenhouse gases.  Efforts to control greenhouse gas emission in China could result in reduced use of coal if power generators switch to sources of fuel with lower carbon dioxide emissions, which in turn could reduce the revenues of our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The Company endeavors to ensure the safe and lawful operation of its facilities in manufacturing and distribution of HCF and believes it is in compliance in all material respects with applicable PRC laws and regulations.

No enterprise may start production at its facilities until it receives approval from the Ministry of Commerce to begin operations.

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 ("USGAAP") 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 have been made to the prior fiscal year amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation for the period ended June 30, 2010. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $316,667 and $712,448 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease of $395,781 in expense was due to a decrease in stock related compensation.

Interest Income, Interest Expense and Other

Interest income/(expense) and other was $1,231 and $(5,011) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The increase in interest income is the result of higher cash balances. 
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $321,737 and $44,138 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The increase was primarily due to non-cash transaction of stock 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 $0 and 88,567 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease was due to the transferring of all rights and ownership interests in assets relating to the exploration and development of mineral resources to Mongsource in the period ended June 30, 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 and $205,724 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The difference of $205,724 in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of a note payable in the prior period.

The Company suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of 3,180,247 at June 30, 2010.  Currently, we have not generated any revenues. The Company is seeking 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.

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 June 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

We are not a party to any current or pending legal proceedings that, if decided adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, or financial condition, and we are not aware of any threatened or contemplated proceeding by any governmental authority against us.  To our knowledge, we are not a party to any threatened civil or criminal action or investigation.  
 
 ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other risk factors and information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows.
