(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be
expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 30, 2009 (including the notes
thereto) set forth in Form 10-K.
2. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
TBX Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (TBX or the Company), was organized on March 24, 1995.
Currently, the Companys primary focus is to secure additional capital through business alliances
with third parties or other debt/equity financing arrangements to acquire producing oil and gas
leases and wells, acquire additional oil and gas prospect leases and to acquire an exploration
company that can also act as an operator of our wells.
The Companys principal historical business activity has been acquiring and developing producing
oil and gas properties. However, during fiscal year 2004, the Company began providing contract
services to an affiliate, Gulftex Operating, Inc. The services continued to August 31, 2006 when
the agreement was terminated by mutual agreement. In addition, the Company has sponsored and/or
managed joint venture development partnerships for the purpose of developing oil and gas properties
for profit.
The Company currently has an interest in wells located in Denton and Wise Counties, Texas.
Effective March 31, 2009, the Company sold its minor interest in three Oklahoma wells.
3. GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
However, the Company has negative stockholders equity and minimal working capital. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Revenue Recognition
For direct oil and gas operations, the revenue is recorded when production is sold. The Company
accrues revenue for oil and gas production sold but not paid.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009
include the accounts of TBX Resources, Inc. The accounts of Grasslands I, a limited partnership,
the Johnson No. A1 and Johnson No. A2, joint ventures, in which TBX owns interests, are
consolidated on a proportionate basis. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
F-4
Table of Contents
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the nine months ended August 31, 2010 the Company had a net reduction in advances from
Gulftex totaling $80,609. The Company received advances from Gulftex totaling $258,314 during the
nine months ended August 31, 2009. The balance due Gulftex as of August 31, 2010 is $415,993.
Oil and Gas Revenue Receivable
Receivables consist of accrued oil and gas receivables due from either purchasers of oil and gas or
operators in oil and natural gas wells for which the Company owns an interest. Oil and natural gas
sales are generally unsecured and such amounts are generally due within 30 days after the month of
sale.
Inventory
Inventory consists of crude oil held in storage tanks. Inventory is stated at market based on
anticipated selling prices.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the Companys cost and are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over five to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred, while
major improvements are capitalized.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and
development expenditures. Under this method, costs of successful exploratory wells and all
development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved
reserves are expensed.
Significant costs associated with the acquisition of oil and gas properties are capitalized. Upon
sale or abandonment of units of property or the disposition of miscellaneous equipment, the cost is
removed from the asset account, the related reserves relieved of the accumulated depreciation or
depletion and the gain or abandonment loss is credited to or charged against operations. Both
proved and unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically
assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment. Capitalized
costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and
abandonment costs and estimated salvage values are depreciated and depleted by the
unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over
their estimated useful lives.
Oil and gas properties at August 31, 2010 consist of the following:
Proved oil and gas properties |
$ | 518,538 | ||
Accumulated depreciation, depletion and
amortization |
(478,619 | ) | ||
$ | 39,919 | |||
Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and gas
properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting, whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
The Company provides for depreciation, depletion and amortization of its investment in producing
oil and gas properties on the units-of-production method, based upon independent reserve engineers
estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves from the property.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) in the period in which it is incurred when a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be
F-5
Table of Contents
made. Asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part of the
carrying value of the long-lived asset. The Company writes down capitalized ARO assets if they are
impaired.
The following table describes changes to the asset retirement liability for the nine months ended
August 31, 2010.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is the tax payable
for the year plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting
outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options. The computation
of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of shares that would
have an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share. Antidilution results from an increase in
earnings per share or reduction in loss per share from the inclusion of potentially dilutive shares
in EPS calculations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant estimates include: estimates of proved reserves as key components of the Companys
depletion rate for oil properties; accruals of operating costs; estimates of production revenues;
and calculating asset retirement obligations. Because there are numerous uncertainties inherent in
the estimation process, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities that have
been evaluated at least annually. The standard defines fair value as the price at which an asset
could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liabilitys
fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor,
not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Impairment analyses
will be made of all assets using fair value measurements.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment
associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by
generally accepted accounting principles and directly related to the amount of subjectivity
associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
F-6
Table of Contents
Level 1
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. | |
Level 2
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology include: | |
we quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
||
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
||
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
||
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by
correlation or other means. |
||
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||
Level 3
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Cash, receivable and payable amounts, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are
carried at book value amounts which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
Subsequent Events
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined
necessary by the Companys management, events that have occurred after August 31, 2010, up until
the issuance of the financial statements, which occurred on or about October 15, 2010.
5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
During the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and the year ended November 30, 2009, there were
several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB. 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 Companys financial
position or operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any
potential future impact on its consolidated financial statements.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company conducts substantial transactions with Gulftex. These related party transactions have a
significant impact on the financial condition and operations of the Company. If these transactions
were conducted with third parties, the financial condition and operations of the Company could be
materially different from reported results.
a. | During the nine months ended August 31, 2010 the Company had a net reduction in advances from Gulftex totaling $80,609. During the nine months ended August 31, 2009, the Company received advances from Gulftex totaling $258,314. The balance due Gulftex as of August 31, 2010 is $415,993. | ||
b. | The Company is charging Gulftex rent for a portion of the Companys office space plus administrative expenses paid by the Company that relates to Gulftexs operations. The Company billed Gulftex $50,138 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and $63,412 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. |
7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company executed an amended Employment Agreement effective August 4, 2005 with our president
Mr. Tim Burroughs for three years. Among other items, the agreement provides that Mr. Burroughs has
the contractual right to require TBX to issue, upon his request, up to 250,000 common share options
subject to certain conditions. The conditions are that the options will not be issued unless Mr.
Burroughs makes a demand for their issuance and the number of shares so demanded have vested (the
agreement provides that 50,000 potential options vest at the beginning of each employment year for
the five year term of the agreement and are cumulative.) The amendment also changed how the options
are to be priced. The options are to be priced at a maximum exercise price of one-half the bid
price for TBX common stock as of August 4, 2005 or $0.70 per share (one-half $1.40 the closing bid
price
F-7
Table of Contents
on August 4, 2005.) In the event the closing bid price of TBXs common stock is below $0.70
on the date of a call by Mr. Burroughs, the exercise price would be reduced to the lower actual bid
price. Mr. Burroughs Employment Agreement was further amended in April 2007. In exchange for TBX
dropping the three year service requirement, Mr. Burroughs agreed to forgo his eligibility to call
for stock options for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Mr. Burroughs did not call any of his potential
stock options as of August 31, 2010. In accordance with the terms of April l, 2007 Amended
Employment Agreement, no compensation expense is recognized as of August 31, 2010 related to Mr.
Burroughs potential common stock options.
The Company executed an amended Employment Agreement effective April 1, 2006 with our Vice
President of Investor Relations, Dick ODonnell, having a term of one year, which automatically
renews unless otherwise terminated as provided in said agreement. Under the terms of the agreement
the Company agreed to issue Mr. ODonnell options to acquire 25,000 shares of common stock per quarter beginning April 1, 2006 for
a period of up to three years at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The option exercise period
is one year from its date. Mr. ODonnells options to acquire common stock expired on January 1,
2009.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is currently obligated for $37,971 under an operating lease agreement for rent of its
office space in Dallas, Texas. The term of the lease is from February 1, 2004 through February 28,
2011. The average monthly base lease payment over the remaining term of the lease is approximately
$6,329. Rent expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 is $51,826 and $52,945,
respectively.
Trio Consulting & Management and Merrit Operating are the bonded operators for the Companys Denton
and Wise County, Texas wells and is responsible for compliance with the laws and regulations
relating to the protection of the environment. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty
the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly any future
remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present
environmental protection laws will not have a material adverse affect on the financial condition,
competitive position or capital expenditures of TBX Resources. However, the Companys cost to
comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on the
Companys future earnings.
9. LAW SUIT SETTLEMENT:
On May 28, 2009 the Company, along with Grasslands I, L.P., intervened as third party plaintiffs in
a lawsuit originally captioned as Clay Bain, et. al. v. Earthwise Energy, Inc. (EEI) which was
filed in April 2009 in the 14th Judicial District, Dallas County Texas, Cause No.
095253. Our petition requested that we be given certain injunctive relief and be awarded
unspecified damages for certain alleged causes of action including, but not limited to, fraud,
conversion and violation of fiduciary duty against defendant Earthwise Energy, Inc. but also as
against two individuals, Jeffery C. Reynolds and Steven C. Howard who were added to the lawsuit as
third party defendants. Mr. Reynolds is a former member of our Board of Directors who resigned in
July 2008. The lawsuit was settled on February 11, 2010 wherein it is acknowledged that the
Company is the rightful owner of certain interests in the Wise and Denton County, Texas. Gulftex
Operating received $97,909 (net of expenses) on behalf of the Company for the
F-8
Table of Contents
Johnson Nos. 1 and 2
gas wells in Wise County, Texas covering the period March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009. The
$97,909 received by Gulftex Operating was used to pay down a portion of its loans to the Company.
The Companys also received $13,973 (net of expenses) for its overrides in nine gas wells in Denton
County, Texas covering the period March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009. It is intended that these
payments fully resolve all claims by the Company against the defendants.
10. COURT ORDERED RESTITUTION:
On May 26, 2000 a former employee was sentenced to three years probation for forging Company
checks. As part of the sentencing the former employee is required to make restitution to the
Company in the amount of $152,915.
Because of the uncertainty of collecting the amount owed, the Company has not recorded a receivable
but instead is recording income as payments are received from the U.S. District Court of Dallas,
Texas. The Company received $99,126 during the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and the balance
outstanding as of August 31, 2010 is approximately $51,062.
11. SALE OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES:
The Company sold its working interest in oil and gas leases located in Ellis County, Oklahoma
effective March 31, 2009 for $1,687 and wrote off the fully depleted property values totaling
$229,074.
12. INCOME TAXES:
The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability. The Company currently has no issue
that creates timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Due to the uncertainty as
to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, an evaluation allowance has been made to
the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate. No provision for income taxes
has been recorded for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 due to the Companys
net operating loss in 2009 and the available tax loss carryforward in 2010.

Notes:
1. | Total Gross Wells are those wells in which the Company holds a working or overriding interest in as of August 31, 2010. | |
2. | Net Productive Wells was calculated by multiplying the working or overriding interest held by the Company in each of the 11 Gross Wells and adding the resulting products. | |
3. | Total Gross Developed Acres is equal to the total surface acres of the properties in which the Company holds a working interest. | |
4. | Net Developed Acres is equal to the Total Gross Developed Acres multiplied by the percentage of the total working interest held by the Company in the respective properties. | |
5. | All acreage in which we hold a working interest as of August 31, 2010 have or had existing wells located thereon; thus all acreage leased by the Company may be accurately classified as developed. | |
6. | Acreage that has existing wells and may be classified as developed may also have additional development potential based on the number of producible zones beneath the surface acreage. A more |

comprehensive study of all properties currently leased by us would be required to determine precise developmental potential. |
OIL AND GAS PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
We currently own a 59.16% partnership interest in the Johnson No. 1-H, a 65.60% partnership
interest in the Johnson No. 2-H, and a 0.4% overriding interest in the Grasslands L. P. We did not
acquire any additional partnership interests in the current quarter.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited financial
statements included on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2009 as filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the application of these
policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide useful and reliable financial
information about our operating results and financial condition.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
OVERVIEW
Going Concern and Liquidity Problems
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with respect to our
consolidated financial statements at November 30, 2009. The paragraph states that our recurring
losses from operations and resulting continued dependence on access to external financing raise
substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors
leading to and the existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship
with customers and suppliers and have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing.
Our company has experienced operating losses over the past several years. We do not have sufficient
working capital to sustain our operations. We have been unable to generate sufficient revenues to
sustain our operations. If no additional funds are received, we will be forced to rely on existing
oil and gas revenue and upon additional funds which may or may not be loaned by an affiliate to
preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. No formal commitments or arrangements currently
exist with the affiliate to advance or loan funds to the Company. In the event we are unable to
acquire sufficient funds, the Companys ongoing operations will be negatively impacted and we may
not be able to continue as a going concern and we may have to curtail or terminate our operations
and liquidate our business.
Sale of Assets
The Company sold its working interest in oil and gas leases located in Oklahoma effective March 31,
2009 for $1,687 and wrote off the fully depleted property values totaling $229,074.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the third quarter ended August 31, 2010 we reported a net loss of $18,194 as compared to a net
loss of $69,444 for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we
reported net income of $5,795 as compared to a net loss of $287,839 for the same period last year.
The components of these results are explained below.
Revenues- The components of our revenues for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and
2009 are as follows:
Oil and gas revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $22,557, an increase of 49.3%,
as compared to $15,114 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. The increase is attributable to
higher oil and gas prices and higher oil production offset by lower gas production. Oil and gas
revenue for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $58,666, an increased of 46.8%, as compared
to $39,959 for the nine

months ended August 31, 2009. The increase is attributable to higher oil and gas prices and
higher oil production offset by lower gas production.
Following are the changes in oil and gas sales, barrels and volumes of natural gas sold and the
price received for those sales for the quarter.
The average price per MBTU increased $2.27 and the MBTU sold decreased 467 from the quarter ended
August 31, 2009. The average price per barrel increased $5.23 and the quantity sold increased by 43
barrels from the quarter ended August 31, 2009.

Lease operating expenses decreased $204 for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 and decreased
$1,291 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 over the same periods last year. The decrease in
quarterly and year-to-date operating expenses is primarily attributable to lower marketing and
compression charges.
General and administrative expenses decreased $41,019 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 as
compared to the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
attributable to lower salaries and wages of $50,549, lower contract labor costs of $6,496 and
expenses in all other categories totaling $779, offset by higher professional fees of $16,805 . For
the nine months ended August 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses decreased $179,543 as
compared to the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
attributable to lower professional fees of $55,551, salaries and wages of $123,080, insurance
expense of $7,580, contract labor of $6,914 and expenses in all other categories totaling $593,
offset by lower G&A cost allocations of $14,175.
Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $4,653 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and
$2,174 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. Depreciation and depletion expense totaled
$9,672 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and $6,325 for the nine months ended August 31,
2009. The increase in depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense is attributable to lower
oil and gas property values from the same period last year. Accretion expense totaled $255 for the
three months ended August 31, 2010 and $256 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. Accretion
expense totaled $766 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and $767 for the nine months ended
August 31, 2009.
The Company sold its working interest in oil and gas leases located in Oklahoma effective March 31,
2009 for $1,687 and wrote off the fully depleted property values totaling $229,074.
Other income for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 consists of a partial recovery of
losses sustained when a former employee forged Company checks for personal use. On May 26, 2000 the
former employee was sentenced to three years probation. As part of the sentencing the former
employee is required to make restitution to the Company.
We have not recorded any income taxes for the nine months ended August 31, 2009 because of our
accumulated losses. Also, since there is continued uncertainty as to the realization of a tax
asset, we have not recorded any tax benefit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a cash balance of $7,431 as of August 31, 2010. Our current ratio at August 31,
2010 was .06:1, and we had no long-term debt other than our asset retirement obligations of
$21,787. As of August 31, 2010, our stockholders deficit was $401,270. Net cash provided by
operations totaled $82,713 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and cash used for operations
totaled $256,583 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. This represents a decrease of $339,296
in cash used for operating activities.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2010 net cash provided by investing activities was $0. For the
nine months ended August 31, 2009 net cash provided by investing activities was $1,687 as the
result of the sale of our Oklahoma properties.
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $80,609 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010
while net cash provided by financing activities totaled $258,314 for the nine months ended August
31, 2009. Financing activities relate to advances from and payments to Gulftex Operating.

PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FUTURE
In the past we have primarily acquired producing oil and gas properties with opportunities for
future development and contracted well operations to contractors. Currently, our primary focus is
to secure additional capital through business alliances with third parties or other debt/equity
financing arrangements to acquire producing oil and gas leases and wells, acquire additional oil
and gas prospect leases and to acquire an exploration company that can also act as an operator of
our wells. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to execute
our plans or that if successful in securing the funds our actual results will improve.
We expect that the principal source of funds in the near future will be from oil and gas revenues
and advances from an affiliate. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient
to cover our operating costs and continue as a going concern. Managements plan is to obtain
operating loans from an affiliate to meet its minimal operating expenses (no formal commitments or
arrangements currently exist with the affiliate to advance or loan funds to the Company) and seek
equity and/or debt financing. Any such additional funding will be done on an as needed basis and
will only be done in those instances in which we believe such additional expenditures will increase
our profitability. However, actual results may differ from managements plan and the amount may be
material.
Our ability to acquire additional properties or equipment is strictly contingent upon our ability
to locate adequate financing or equity to pay for these additional properties or equipment. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the opportunity to buy properties or equipment
that are suitable for our investment or that we may be able to obtain financing or equity to pay
for the costs of these additional properties or equipment at terms that are acceptable to us..
Additionally, if economic conditions justify the same, we may hire additional employees although we
do not currently have any definite plans to make additional hires.
The oil and gas industry is subject to various trends. In particular, at times crude oil prices
increase in the summer, during the heavy travel months, and are relatively less expensive in the
winter. Of course, the prices obtained for crude oil are dependent upon numerous other factors,
including the availability of other sources of crude oil, interest rates, and the overall health of
the economy. We are not aware of any specific trends that are unusual to our company, as compared
to the rest of the oil and gas industry.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of Tim Burroughs our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO)/Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter
covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded
that, as of August 31, 2010 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that
the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported. Management is currently looking for a
professional accounting person to become part of its management team in an effort to provide not
only complete but timely reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by its rules
and forms.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which
this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Companys internal control over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions were
required or undertaken.
F-14
Table of Contents
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Companys management, including the CEO/CFO, does
not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its Internal Controls will prevent all errors and all
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. Because of 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can
occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
