Description of Business

We were incorporated in Nevada on January 22, 2007. On December 8, 2008 we continued our corporate jurisdiction out of the state of Nevada and into the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Our principal offices are located at 1205 – 207 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 1H7. Our telephone number is (604) 609 2898. Our fiscal year end is May 31.

We are building a portfolio of companies and technologies that mitigate negative environmental and health consequences that arise from the production of energy and the consumption of resources. On November 2, 2007, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., we entered into a technology assignment agreement with 0798465 BC Ltd. whereby we acquired 100% ownership of an invention for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide. This is currently our flagship technology and is described in greater detail under the heading “Electro Reduction of Carbon Dioxide” below.

Our mission is to develop and commercialize alternative energy technologies and services to enable the sustainable consumption, production and management of resources on residential, commercial and industrial scales. We plan to develop or acquire technologies and services which include electrical power system monitoring technology, wind farm electricity generation, online retail of environmental sustainability solutions through a carbon reduction marketplace, and media solutions to promote awareness of corporate actions that support the environment. To carry out our business strategy we intend to acquire or license from third parties technologies that require further development before they can be brought to market. We also intend to develop such technologies ourselves, and we anticipate that to complete commercialization of some technologies we will enter into joint ventures, partnerships, or other strategic relationships with third parties who have expertise that we may require. We also plan to enter into formal relationships with consultants, contractors, retailers and manufacturers who specialize in the areas of environmental sustainability in order to carry out our online retail strategy.

We are a development stage company that has only recently begun operations. We have generated only nominal revenues from our intended business activities, and we do not expect to generate significant revenues in the next 12 months. Other than our invention for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide, we have not yet developed or acquired any commercially exploitable technology. Since our inception, we have incurred operational losses and we have completed several rounds of financing to fund our operations.

We carry on our business through our subsidiaries as follows:

• Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., through which we identify, acquire, develop and market technologies related to alternative energy production, greenhouse gas emissions reduction and resource consumption reduction;

• Mantra Media Corp., through which we offer promotional and marketing services to companies in the sustainability sector or those seeking to adopt sustainable practices; and

• Climate ESCO Ltd, through which we distribute and installe LED lighting solutions.

We also have a number of inactive subsidiaries which we plan to engage in various business activities in the future.

On August 16, 2011, we entered into a technology development cooperation agreement with KC Cottrell Co., Ltd. and Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd. pursuant to which KC will provide our company with the basic framework and support for the successful execution of tasks for our company’s electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide technology development as planned at Ha-dong Power Plant in the Republic of Korea. KC has also agreed to equally share the cost of the project, which is not to exceed US $1,000,000 with our company. The Technology Agreement will expire by the completion of the demonstration project or by July 30, 2011.

On August 25, 2011, we entered into a consulting agreement with Richard Malcolm Smith , whereby Mr. Smith has agreed to provide certain management consulting services to our company for a period of six (6) months regarding our ongoing corporate development and acquisitions . In consideration for the services, we have agreed to issue to Mr. Smith 700,000 shares of our common stock, previously registered on a Form S-8 registration statement.

Electro Reduction of Carbon Dioxide (“ERC”)

On November 2, 2007 we entered into a technology assignment agreement with 0798465 BC Ltd. through our wholly owned subsidiary Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., whereby we acquired all right and title in and to a certain chemical process for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide as embodied by and described in the following patent cooperation treaty application:

The reactor at the core of the chemical process, referred to as the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, or ERC, has been proven functional through small scale prototype trials. ERC offers a possible solution to reduce the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Earth’s environment by converting CO2 into chemicals with a broad range of commercial applications, including a fuel for a next generation of fuel cells. Powered by electricity, the ERC process combines captured carbon dioxide with water to produce materials, such as formic acid, formate salts, oxalic acid and methanol, that are conventionally obtained from the thermo-chemical processing of fossil fuels. However, while thermo-chemical reactions must be driven at relatively high temperatures that are normally obtained by burning fossil fuels, ERC operates at near ambient conditions and is driven by electric energy that can be taken from an electric power grid supplied by hydro, wind, solar or nuclear energy.

In fuel cells liquid fuels are indirectly burned with air to form carbon dioxide and water, while generating electricity. This process is known as electrochemical combustion or electrooxidation. The complementary nature of ERC and electrooxidation makes it possible to use ERC in a regenerative fuel cell cycle, where carbon dioxide is converted to a fuel that is consumed in a fuel cell to regenerate carbon dioxide. As shown in the figure, the net energy input required in this cycle could be supplied from a renewable or non-fossil fuel source.

5

ERC has been shown to produce a range of compounds, including formic acid, formate salts, oxalic acid, and methanol. The efficiency for generation of each compound depends on the experimental conditions, most importantly the material of the cathode, which catalyses the electrochemical reactions.

Until appropriate cathodes are found some products of CO2 reduction (methanol, for instance) are obtained at efficiencies too low for practical use. Other products can be generated on known cathodes with high current yields that could support valuable practical processes. For example, formic acid has been obtained on tin cathodes with

^{current yields above 80%}. ^{Formate salts and sodium bicarbonate are obtained at similarly high yields}

ERC Development to Date

We have retained one of the creators of the technology, Professor Colin Oloman, as a member of our Scientific Advisory Board, to further develop the carbon dioxide reduction process to achieve optimal results on a consistent basis. On June 1, 2008, we entered into a Technology Development and Support Agreement with Kemetco Research Inc., an integrated science, technology and innovation company. Pursuant to that agreement, we have established a research and development facility for the ERC in Vancouver, British Columbia, staffed by a dedicated research team provided by Kemetco.

In October of 2008, we completed our first ERC prototype reactor capable of processing 1 kilogram of CO2 per day. In order to facilitate the testing and development of this reactor, we entered into an agreement with Kemetco on January 29, 2010. The agreement was intended to govern the development and testing of our prototype reactor for a period of 10 months and contemplated costs of approximately $250,000 including labor and materials purchases. On March 18, 2010 we entered into another agreement with Kemetco which amended and replaced the January 29, 2010 agreement. Under the terms of the latest agreement, we have agreed to proceed with the testing and development of our ERC prototype reactor for a period of 5 months at an estimated cost of approximately $125,000.

Pictured Above, Design for Bench Scale ERC Reactor

We anticipate that commercialization of ERC will require us to develop reactors capable of processing not less than 100 tons of CO2 per day; however, there is no guarantee that we will successfully produce reactors of that size. Production of commercially viable ERC reactors will depend on continued research and development, successful testing of small scale ERC reactors, and securing of additional financing. At the conclusion of our current agreement and development program with Kemetco, an assessment will be made of the project’s progress and the next phase to be conducted.

Established and Emerging Market for ERC and By-Products:

The technology behind ERC can be applied to any scale commercial venture which outputs CO2 into the atmosphere. We anticipate that, once fully commercialized, we will be able to offer ERC as a CO2 management system to various industry including steel, power generation and lumber.

The existing applications of ERC by-products include use as feedstock preservatives, de-icing solutions, and baking soda, among others. Sodium Formate and Formic Acid, two of the main by-products of ERC, currently have an average market value of $1,200/ton, with more than 600,000 tons of formic acid produced annually (Li, 2006). Their applications are diverse, including feedstock preservatives, de-icing solutions, cleaning solutions and baking soda to name a few. The market for formic acid has experienced continual growth and demand over the past several years, mainly attributed to the following: European and developing country demand for formic acid in silage, rising raw materials, energy and logistics costs; and animal feed preservative and Asian demand for formic acid in leather, rubber, food and pharmaceutical industries. The average market price of formic acid is expected to increase by as much as 20% in 2010. (Dunia Frontier Consultants, 2008).

However, if the ERC process reaches market acceptance as a way to deal with CO2 emissions from industry facilities, it will likely lead to supply of formic acid in excess of current market demand. We have identified several potential future applications for formic acid, which may lead to an expansion in current market demand. The application we have identified and are currently focusing on is steel pickling.

Steel Pickling

Steel Pickling is part of the finishing process in the production of certain steel products in which oxide and scale are removed from the surface of strip steel, steel wire, and other forms of steel, by dissolution in acid. A solution of either Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) or Sulfuric Acid is generally used to treat carbon steel products, while a combination of Hydrofluoric and Nitric Acids is often used for stainless steel. Approximately ¼ of the HCI produced in the U.S. is used for pickling steel (American Chemistry, 2003), consuming an estimated 5Mt/year. As an organic acid, Formic Acid would be a very attractive replacement for Hydrochloric Acid (HCI) in the steel pickling process. Formic Acid has many potential advantages over HCI in this application, including: less iron lost from the steel surface, improvement in final surface quality, and the elimination of corrosion inhibiting and neutralizing rinse processes to prevent rust development. In addition, Formic Acid is both bio-degradable and reusable which would allow water used in the picking process to be recycled more easily.

7

Competition

There are several existing alternative methods to ERC which convert CO2 into useful products. Other methods include, for example:

• Thermo-chemical reactions to produce carbon monoxide, formic acid, methane or methanol;
• Bio-chemical reactions to produce methane;
• Photo-chemical reactions to produce carbon monoxide, formaldehyde or formic acid; and
• Photo-electro-chemical reaction to produce carbon monoxide and possibly methane & methanol.

Some thermo-chemical methods are established commercial industrial processes (e.g. production of methanol from CO2) however, like ERC, most of these alternative methods of CO2conversion are still at the level of laboratory research and development projects. These alternative methods typically suffer from the following problems:

• Low reaction rate and low CO2 space velocity make it too costly and time consuming to process industrial quantities of CO2;
• Low selectivity for specified product(s) makes it harder to control product yield;
• High operating temperature and pressure requires large quantities of fossil fuels to power reaction;
• Fast cathode deterioration raises costs and makes the method labour intensive; and
• Highly expensive and cumbersome hydrogen (H₂) is required as a feed reactant.

Based on scholarship and test results to date, we believe that, compared with alternative methods of CO2 conversion, ERC, when converting CO2 to formate or formic acid, has several notable advantages including the following:

• Medium reaction rate allows for commercially viable CO2 processing times;
• Medium CO2 space velocity gives the ability to treat comparatively large volumes of CO2;
• High product selectivity for formate and formic acid;
• Low operating temperature and pressure make it possible to rely on renewable sources of electricity instead of fossil fuels; and
• Hydrogen (H₂) is not required as feed reactant.

However, because ERC has not yet been tested at a commercially viable scale, there is no guarantee that any of the advantages cited by us will translate into actual competitive advantages for ERC over competing methods for CO2 conversion. Also, like other competing methods, ERC suffers from fast cathode deterioration, and we must successfully isolate or develop a better ERC cathode in order to gain a competitive advantage in this regard.

Our competition consists of a number of small companies capable of competing effectively in the alternative energy market as well as several large companies that possess substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. Many of these competitors are substantially larger and better funded than us, and have significantly longer histories of research, operation and development. Our competitors include technology providers or energy producers using biomass combustion, biomass anaerobic digestion, geothermal, solar, wind, new hydro and other renewable energy sources. In addition, we will face well-established competition from electric utilities and other energy companies in the traditional energy industry who have substantially greater financial resources than we do.

Our competitors may be able to offer more competitively priced and more widely available energy products than ours and they also may have greater resources than us to create or develop new technologies and products.

8

Therefore, there is no assurance that we will be successful in competing with existing and emerging competitors in the alternative energy industry or traditional energy industry.

We plan to identify business opportunities with interested parties and potential customers by networking and participating in conferences and exhibitions related to greenhouse gas emissions reduction and alternative energy sources and technologies. The strategic and geographic focus of our business is currently the North American market. We believe that one of our competitive advantages is our online carbon reduction marketplace which brings energy/carbon reduction products and service providers into direct contact with consumers and enables the facilitation of business contacts. The focus of our online carbon reduction marketplace is not on business-to-business carbon trading, as is the case with many of our competitors.

While our competitors may be operating similar business models, we plan to build our competitive position in the industry by:

• filling our Scientific Advisory Board with skilled and proficient professionals;
• developing and acquiring technologies to establish sustainable fuel supply chains;
• providing a comprehensive range of services; and
• providing marketing and promotion services to generate public awareness and enhance the reputation of sustainability initiatives.

However, since we are a newly-established company, we face the same problems as other start-up companies in other industries. Our competitors may develop similar technologies to ours and use the same methods as we do, and they may generally be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in legislation and industry regulation. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their technologies or services than we do. Increased competition could also result in loss of key personnel, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

Government Regulations

Some aspects of our intended operations will be subject to a variety of federal, provincial, state and local laws, rules and regulations in North America and worldwide relating to, among other things, worker safety and the use, storage, discharge and disposal of environmentally sensitive materials. For example, we are subject to the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the principal federal legislation regulating hazardous waste generation, management and disposal.

Under some of the laws regulating the use, storage, discharge and disposal of environmentally sensitive materials, an owner or lessee of real estate may be liable for the costs of removing or remediating certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in, or emanating from, such property, as well as related costs of investigation and property damage. Laws of this nature often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or lessee knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. These laws and regulations may require the removal or remediation of pollutants and may impose civil and criminal penalties for violations. Some of the laws and regulations authorize the recovery of natural resource damages by the government, injunctive relief and the imposition of stop, control, remediation and abandonment orders. The costs arising from compliance with environmental and natural resource laws and regulations may increase operating costs for both us and our potential customers. We are also subject to safety policies of jurisdictional-specific Workers Compensation Boards and similar agencies regulating the health and safety of workers.

In addition to the forgoing, in the future our U.S., Canadian and global operations may be affected by regulatory and political developments at the federal, state, provincial and local levels including, but not limited to, restrictions on offset credit trading, the verification of offset projects and related offset credits, price controls, tax increases, the expropriation of property, the modification or cancellation of contract rights, and controls on joint ventures or other strategic alliances.

We are not aware of any material violations of environmental permits, licenses or approvals issued with respect to our operations. We expect to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to our intended business. At this time, we do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with environmental or various regulations and requirements.

9

While our intended projects or business activities have been designed to produce environmentally friendly green energy or other alternative products for which no specific regulatory barriers exist, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our potential customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs and decreasing potential demand for our technologies, products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Research and Development Expenditures

During the year ended May 31, 2011 we spent $Nil on research and development. For the last two fiscal years, we have spent $166,753 on research and development. We anticipate that we will incur $275,000 in expenses on research and development for ERC as well as other technologies we may acquire over the next 12 months.

Employees

As of September 13, 2011, we had 4 employees engaged in administrative duties, website development and marketing. All of these employees were engaged on a full-time basis. Additionally, we have retained a number of consultants for legal, accounting and investor relations services.

Intellectual Property

We acquired the process for the “Continuous Co-Current Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide”, or the ERC technology, on November 2, 2007 pursuant to a technology assignment agreement with 0798465 BC

Ltd. According to the agreement, we paid 0798465 BC Ltd. 40,000 common shares at a fair market value of $0.25 per share and 250,000 options to purchase our common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share until October 31, 2012. The process for the ERC technology was developed by Dr. Colin Oloman and Dr. Hui Li at the University of British Columbia's Clean Energy Research Center in Vancouver. They filed the initial patent application for the invention under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in 2006. We acquired all right and title in and to the ERC technology as embodied by and described in the following patent cooperation treaty application:

The Patent Cooperation Treaty, an international patent law treaty, provides a unified procedure for filing patent applications to protect inventions in each of its contracting states.

The PCT filing was made with a Receiving Office in 2006 and a written opinion was issued by International Searching Authority regarding the patentability of the invention which is the subject of the application. Finally, the examination and grant procedures will be handled by the relevant national or regional authorities. On March 31, 2008 we initiated the national patent process. We plan to begin the national patent process initially in Europe, Japan and China. The national phases for other countries, particularly the U.S. and Canada, will be initiated in the near future.

We have not filed for protection of our trademark. We own the copyright of our logo and all of the contents of our website, www.mantraenergy.com.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Years Ended May 31, 2011 and 2010

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010.

Our operating results for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 are summarized as follows:

Revenues

Our revenues for the year ended May 31, 2011 were $2,606, compared to our revenue for the year ended May 31, 2010, which were $2,780, representing approximately a 6% decrease.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 are outlined in the table below:

13

The increase in operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal 2010, was mainly due to a decrease in research and development.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of office occupation expenses, communication expenses (cellular, internet, fax and telephone), bank charges, foreign exchange, courier, postage costs and office supplies. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees. Business development, consulting and advisory costs include fees paid, shares issued and options granted to contractors and advisory board members

Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of May 31, 2011, our total current assets were $101,978 and our total current liabilities were $1,245,273 and we had a working capital deficit of $1,143,295. Our financial statements report a net loss of $1,089,853 for the year ended May 31, 2011, and a net loss of $6,133,823 for the period from March 8, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2011.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions.

We had cash in the amount of $39,101 as of May 31, 2011 as compared to $4,325 as of May 31, 2010. We had a working capital deficit of $1,143,295 as of May 31, 2011 compared to working capital deficit of $1,036,124 as of May 31, 2010.

Our principal sources of funds have been from sales of our common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations. We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have had to rely on outside capital resources. We do not anticipate making significant revenues for the next year. Over the next 12 months, we plan to primarily concentrate on commercializing our ERC technology and associated projects.

14

In order to fully carry out our business plan, we need additional financing of approximately $2,575,000 for the next 12 months. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private placement sales of our equity securities or shareholders’ loans. We do not presently have sufficient financing to undertake our planned business activities. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results has not been significant.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

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. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives and recoverability of long lived assets, valuation of convertible debt, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our 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 us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

15

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, our 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. 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.

Stock-based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by our company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Mantra Venture Group Ltd.
(A development stage company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (a development stage company) as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated significant revenues, has a working capital deficit, and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2011. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the weaknesses identified below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2011 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2011, the Company determined that there were significant deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.

Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.

In light of the existence of these control deficiencies, management concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

As a result, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2011 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

Audit Committee

The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as our director and a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on our Board of Directors.

Code of Ethics

Effective February 11, 2008 we adopted a code of ethics and business conduct that applies to our officers, directors and employees and we have filed copies of our code of ethics as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1 filed on February 26, 2008.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors.

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Our audit committee is governed by an Audit Committee Charter adopted by our board of directors.

We believe that the members of our audit committee are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.

Director Nominees

We do not have a nominating committee. Our board of directors, selects individuals to stand for election as members of the Board. The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board of Directors' meeting at which the slate of Board nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions of proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the shareholder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of shareholders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the shareholder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board of Directors, as well as a list of references.

The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of management's slate of director nominees submitted to shareholders for election to the Board.

22

Among the factors that the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees are their knowledge of, and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from the candidate prior to reaching a determination. The Board is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires a company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to our officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 were filed. However, some were filed late.

The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:

• our principal executive officer;

• each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010; and

• up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010,

who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than our principal executive officers, whose total compensation did not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year:
