Notes to the Financial Statements
May 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
1.
Development Stage Company
Peak Resources Incorporated (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 30, 2005. On August 18, 2008, the Company changed its name to Mine Clearing Corp. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.7 Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises. The Companys former principal business was the acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company changed its principal business and entered into licensing agreements for the rights to certain intellectual properties in the landmine scanning, detection, mapping and removal services. Refer to Note 7.
2.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of May 31, 2009, the Company has accumulated losses of $545,585 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Companys fiscal year-end is August 31.
b)
Interim Financial Statements
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2008, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 2, 2008 with the SEC.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position at May 31, 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008. The results of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year ending August 31, 2009.
c)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated services and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d)
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
e)
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
f)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2009 nor August 31, 2008.
g)
Research and Development Costs
Pursuant to FAS 2 Accounting for Research and Development Costs the Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.
h)
Mineral Property Costs
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception on September 30, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formerly engaged in the acquisition and development of mining properties. Mineral property development costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
i)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
j)
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
j)
Financial Instruments (continued)
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
k)
Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 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.
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and amounts owed to related parties. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, the fair value of our cash equivalents 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.
The Companys operations are in Canada and the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Companys operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
l)
Discontinued Operations
Certain amounts have been reclassified to present the Companys discontinuance of its mineral exploration operations, as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, information presented in the notes to the financial statements relates only to the Companys continuing operations. Information relating to discontinued operations is included in Note 9.
m)
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

n)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
o)
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities an Amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Overview
Mine Clearing Corp. (MCC) is developing an advanced technology solution to locating, mapping and removing landmines. Our solution is based on two patented sensors that will be further developed by our technology provider, Roke Manor Research Ltd. (Roke), for our specific demining solution. The resulting technology product will be an integrated stand-alone scanning, locating and mapping system that will utilize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, GPS mapping software and specialized training of resident personnel of client countries. MCC expects that the system will be substantially faster, more efficient and safer than existing approaches to the dangerous process of landmine detection and removal.
Roke, a subsidiary of Siemens AG, are our strategic technology providers and the sensor technology we have licensed from Roke represents the foundation of our technology solution. Roke is owned by Siemens and based in Romsey, Hampshire, UK is an innovative solutions provider and contract R&D specialist. They have pioneered developments in electronic sensors, networks and communications technology, providing products and services to Siemens businesses, government departments, and commercial customers. (Roke employs approximately 475 people. Orders for the financial year ending 30 September 2007 were £44.85m and turnover for the same period was £42.55 million.)
MCC has licensed two proprietary sensors for the exclusive use of landmine detection from Roke via two licensing agreements entered into on August 7, 2008. The sensor technology will be further developed by Roke through a Development and Consultancy Support Services Agreement (Services Agreement) entered into on August 7, 2008.
Plan of Operation
MCC intends to complete a number of key objectives over the course of the next 12 18 months that will result in achieving its goal of becoming a highly profitable technology and service company in the landmine detection and removal sector.
The most important objectives to achieve are the following:
·
In accordance with the global nature of its business, we are targeting multiple stock exchange listings including a more senior exchange listing in either Europe or the UK.
·
Complete a financing of between $3 - $5 million to meet our development and commercialization funding needs for the next 12 months. This includes approximately $1.5 million for technology product development, approximately $1.4 million for general and administration (including business development) and approximately $1.5 million in capital costs to deploy our first commercial unit
14
·
Develop a working model stand alone system that will conduct high level scans and low level detection of landmines on a variety of landmine contamination terrains. A series of demonstrations to key decision makers and centers of influence will be carried out as soon as the prototype systems are available.
·
Develop and market a business model that is based on complex technology but that delivers direct and significant benefits. Our complex system will scan, detect, and map the location of buried landmines. Retired military personnel and civilians, including mine survivors, will provide the bulk of our human resource needs. Our commitment to our clients will even go as far as the establishment of product assembly sites, Centers of Excellence and regional training centers.
·
Achieve certification with the United Nations for mine removal.
·
Secure letters of intent, followed by firm contracts with both nation states and private companies seeking to de-contaminate targeted parcels of land.
·
Build a global organization that can implement an aggressive business model that will gain the confidence and business of nation states that will benefit from both a humanitarian and economic development perspective by employing MCC
The key milestones and achievement dates are outlined in the following table:
Milestone | Details | Achievement Date |
Raise $3 - $5 million1 | Required to fund R&D, corporate and business development. | July/Aug 2009 |
Roke Phase 1 completed | System analysis and design phase | Sept/Oct 2009 |
Letters of Understanding | Client countries secure initial position for demonstrations. | October 2009 |
Roke Phase 2 completed | Ground based demonstrators completed including landmine location and mapping function | Jan/Feb 2010 |
Letters of Intent signed with initial client countries | Countries having viewed functionality of phase 2 will be requested to sign LOIs to ensure they are positioned to be first client countries. | February 2010 |
Roke Phase 3 completed | UAV integration and testing. Final prototype demonstrated. | May 2010 |
Contracts signed and deposits (1/3) taken | We anticipate our first year of operations will generate contracts in a minimum of 2 countries. | May 2010 |
1 MCC has not reached any definitive arrangements for financing as of the date of this report.
MCCs technology is complex but our development model is not. We intend on building the best in class solution to the global demining problem. We will market our solution to nation states that will benefit from mine removal and economic development benefits inherent in adopting our system.
The management of MCC has direct experience in developing and growing technology based companies. We understand that the primary success factor in a thriving technology venture is delivering a product that meets or, better yet, exceeds the needs of the client. In our case, this means developing a landmine removal system/service that we believe is faster, less expensive and safer than existing methods. We have confidence in our team and in Roke Manors patented sensors to meet this objective.
We also understand that while the resulting technology is critical, building a better mousetrap isnt the only key to success. We have to develop the contacts and relationships to ensure we can market our systems successfully. To that end we have generated solid expressions of interest. Potential clients are numerous and everyone we have communicated with is keenly interested in our proposed product offering. We have only scratched the surface in terms of business development and intend to do more over the coming year as we lead to our phased product demonstrations.
Initially our marketing efforts will demonstrate that the sensors can scan for and detect buried landmines. The next demonstrations will show potential clients an integrated system with scanning, detecting and mapping features. Finally, we will integrate it all onto an airborne delivery system that will quickly scan terrain and deliver less expensive, faster and safer land mine removal. These successive steps will lead to formal commitments and to contracts for work programs. This is the core of the market development plan.
As we work with Roke we will continue to forge new relationships that will turn into solid business relationships in the future. We have been making progress in that regard and we are convinced there is a huge unmet need for a product/service that offers the benefits we are developing.
15
As a new venture, we are constantly learning more about the dynamics of the market. These dynamics have convinced us that while it is important to balance our efforts, we are more convinced than ever that our focus of ensuring the technology development is of the highest priority is the correct approach. We are confident that we will continue to make progress in developing an application that will make the purchase decision easy and at the same time prepare the market for our launch.

On August 7, 2008, the Company entered into a Development and Consultancy Support Services Agreement (Services Agreement) with Roke Manor Research Limited (the Licensor) to develop proprietary technology and products and provide consulting support in the field of landmine scanning, detection, mapping and removal.
Under the terms of Services Agreement the Company will pay for the Licensor to complete a three stage research and development program.
iv.
Phase 1 is the System Analysis and Design Phase. The cost to complete this phase is approximately $350,000 (£215,000 GBP). Phase 1 is expected to be completed on or before September 30, 2009. The Company delivered an initial payment of $98,000 (£53,750 GBP) in September 2008 and these are to be followed by 3 sequential monthly payments of $158,000 (£96,750 GBP), $88,000 (£53,750 GBP) and $17,500 (£10,750 GBP).
v.
Phase 2 is the Ground Based Demonstrators Phase. This phase is expected to cost approximately $670,000 to $815,000 (£410,000 GBP to £500,000 GBP). Phase 2 is expected to be completed on or before February 28, 2010.
vi.
Phase 3 is the Unmanned Aeronautical Vehicle Integration Phase. This phase is expected to cost approximately $253,000 to $327,000 (£155,000 GBP to £200,000 GBP). Phase 3 is expected to be completed on or before May 31, 2010.
On August 7, 2008, the Company entered into a Technology Exploitation Agreement with the Licensor to acquire a non-transferable license to utilize certain sensor intellectual property (Cold Sky technology) to develop, manufacture, use and sell any anomaly or metal detector product or products developed by the Company using the Cold Sky technology.
16
The consideration for the license to use the Cold Sky technology is an upfront fee of £125,000 GBP (US$243,000), which shall be payable upon completion of Phase 3 of the Services Agreement (Refer to Note 5(c)) and thereafter a royalty of £1,000 GBP (US$1,900) for each product deployed by the Company, including sales of the product designed by the Company for integration into systems manufactured by third parties or suppliers of spare or replacement parts. The maximum royalty limit the Company shall be required to pay is £250,000 GBP (US$486,000) over a ten year period commencing upon completion of the Services Agreement.
On August 7, 2008, the Company entered into a Technology Exploitation Agreement with the Licensor to acquire a non-transferable license to utilize certain sensor intellectual property (Fig8 technology) in order to develop, manufacture, use and sell any anomaly or metal detector product or products developed by the Company using the Fig8 technology. The consideration for the license to use the Fig8 technology is an upfront fee of £125,000 GBP (US$243,000), which shall be payable upon completion of the final phase of the Services Agreement and thereafter a royalty of £125 GBP (US$240) for each product deployed by the Company, including sales of the product designed by the Company for integration into systems manufactured by third parties or suppliers of spare or replacement parts. The maximum royalty limit the Company shall be required to pay is £250,000 GBP (US$486,000) over a ten year period commencing upon completion of the Services Agreement.
Funding for the obligations to Roke Manor Research to complete the research and development program and pay the upfront licensing fees will financed through sales of MCCs common stock. There are no assurances that MCC will be able to achieve further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing. If MCC is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then MCC will not be able to execute its business plan of developing a demining technology solution and its business will fail.
Management intends to raise the balance of MCCs cash requirements of $4.3 million for the next 12 months from private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer) within the next few months. If MCC is unsuccessful in raising enough money through future capital raising efforts, MCC may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time MCC does not have any commitments from any broker-dealer to provide MCC with financing.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the nine month period ended May 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities totaled $ 281,986 compared with $29,882 for the previous fiscal year.
As at May 31, 2009, MCC had a cash balance of $5,639 and had working capital deficit of ($101,950). During the nine month period ended May 31, 2009, MCC used $281,986 in cash for operating activities. This was primarily a result of an operating loss of $354,090, offset by non-cash items for amortization of $246, and a net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $53,099. During the nine month period ended May 31, 2009, MCC paid $nil towards accounts payable. There were also changes in prepaid expenses and due to related parties resulting in a net use of cash of ($18,001).

MCC used net cash of $0 in investing activities during the nine month period ended May 31, 2009.
For the nine month period ended May 31, 2009, MCCs monthly cash requirement was approximately $31,331 in operating activities and approximately $0 in investing activities. Management anticipates that after July 2009 if MCC intends to execute its business plan its monthly expenses will increase to $233,000 for technology and product development plus general and administration (including business development). This includes an average of $43,000 for human resources and staffing, an average of $127,000 for research and development, $30,000 for business development including travel costs, and $33,000 for public company, legal, accounting, marketing and office costs. During the last quarter of the upcoming fiscal year it will require the majority of its $1.4 million budget for capital expenditures to build and deploy its first commercial unit.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $18,000 for the nine month period ended May 31, 2009 as compared with financing of $25,000 for the previous fiscal year from the issuance of common stock.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
MCC has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
