STEVIA FIRST CORP.
(Formerly Legend Mining Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Stevia First Corp., (the Company) formerly Legend Mining Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 29, 2007. During the period from July 1, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2011, the Company commenced operations by issuing shares and acquiring a mineral property located in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company was unable to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding, and accordingly its interest in it has expired. On October 10, 2011, the Company completed a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stevia First Corp., whereby it changed its name from Legend Mining Inc. to Stevia First Corp. In connection with a related change in management, the addition of key personnel, and the lease of property for laboratory and office space in California, the Company is now pursuing its new business as an agricultural biotechnology company engaged in the cultivation and harvest of stevia leaf and the development of stevia products. The Company has not produced any revenues and is considered a development stage company. The Company's fiscal year end is March 31.
2. GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $247,292 as at December 31, 2011, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans and private placement of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further loans, or that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds through a private placement or otherwise.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2011, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2011.
-9-
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein as of December 31, 2011 are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of the Companys management, are necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, the condensed consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with its characterization of the Company as a development stage enterprise.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
It is management's opinion that all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period have been made. All adjustments are of normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency is United States dollars and the financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. There were $9,847 in advertising costs incurred in the prior nine months and no advertising costs were incurred in the prior year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
-10-
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are equal.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Management has evaluated the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the date of this report and has determined that their adoption will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
4. COMMON STOCK
As of December 31, 2011, the total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 525,000,000 shares with a par value of one tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share and no other class of shares is authorized.
Effective October 10, 2011, the Company effected a seven (7) for one (1) forward stock split of authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, the authorized capital was increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 525,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001, and the issued and outstanding shares increased from 7,350,000 to 51,450,000.
During the period from June 29, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2011, the Company issued 51,450,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $25,000 (on a split-adjusted basis). As of December 31, 2011, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants.
5. INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $247,292 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2028. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
-11-
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, was as follows (using a 34 percent effective Federal income tax rate in 2011 and 2010):

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, intend, expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential, or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our or our industrys actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include: (1) general economic and financial market conditions; (2) any adverse occurrence with respect to our intended business; (3) our ability to bring out intended product to market; (4) market demand for our intended product; (5) shifts in industry capacity; (6) product development or other initiatives by our competitors; (7) fluctuations in the availability of raw materials and costs associated with growing raw materials for our intended product; (8) poor growing conditions for the stevia plant; (9) our ability to obtain additional financing as necessary; and (10) other factors beyond our control.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Overview of our Business
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 29, 2007 and commenced operations as a development stage exploration company. On October 10, 2011, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stevia First Corp., whereby we changed our name from Legend Mining Inc. to Stevia First Corp. As a result of our management change, the addition of key personnel, and the lease of property for laboratory and office space in California, we are pursuing our new business of being an agricultural biotechnology company engaged in the cultivation and harvest of stevia leaf and the development of stevia products. We are in the early stages of establishing a vertically-integrated enterprise that controls the process of stevia production from plant breeding through propagation, planting, cultivation, and harvesting, and which also develops, markets, and sells stevia products. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to we, us, our, the Company, or Stevia First refer to Stevia First Corp.
Our new stock symbol STVF became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on November 23, 2011. There is currently no market for our common stock.

Plan of Operations
We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. As of December 31, 2011, we did not have enough funds on hand to cover our anticipated expenses for the following 12 months. In their report on the annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital or generate sufficient cash from our operations. We do not expect to generate cash from our operations for the foreseeable future. The continuation of our business is dependent upon our ability to obtain loans or sell securities to new and existing investors.
As described further in Liquidity and Capital Resources below, (i) on January 31, 2012, we issued a $250,000 convertible debenture to an investor in a private placement (the January Private Placement) and (ii) on February 7, 2012, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the February Subscription Agreement) with one investor, pursuant to which, such investor irrevocably agreed to pay us $1,250,000 over a twelve month period beginning on March 1, 2012, in consideration for our issuance of 625,000 shares of common stock and convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $625,000.
The issuance of the above convertible debentures, or additional equity or debt securities by us, could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Our current strategy is to build a vertically integrated stevia enterprise in North America through our internal research and development, cultivation of stevia in Californias Central Valley, product development activities combined with acquiring rights to additional land suitable for stevia planting, and forming alliances with leading California growers, current manufacturers and distributors of high-grade but low-cost stevia extracts with superior taste profiles.
Over the twelve months following the date of this quarterly report, we expect to continue to review potential acquisitions and alliances including the purchase of rights to additional land that is suitable for stevia cultivation, and to complete the build-out of a stevia tissue culture laboratory and nursery in California. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to be approximately $1,034,000. After giving effect to the funds raised in the January Private Placement and the commitments from the investor under the February Subscription Agreement, as of the date of this Report we expect to have sufficient funds to operate our business over the next 12 months. However, our estimate of total expenditures could increase if we encounter unanticipated difficulties. In addition, our estimates of the amount of cash necessary to fund our business may prove to be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. Also, the investor could breach its future commitments under the February Subscription Agreement. If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to develop our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. We expect to continue to seek funding from our stockholders and other qualified investors in order to pursue our business plan. Other than in connection with the February Subscription Agreement, we do not have any arrangements in place for any future financing. Sources of additional funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, we did not generate any revenue.
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred general and administrative expenses in the aggregate amount of $34,886 compared to $4,968 incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2010 (an increase of $29,918). General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, and travel expenses. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred related party consulting fees and related party rent totaling $4,500 compared to $2,000 incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2010 (an increase of $2,500).

-16-
The increase in net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010 is attributable primarily to higher general and administrative expenses incurred in the transition of our business from one with nominal operations to an agricultural biotechnology company engaged in the cultivation and harvest of stevia leaf and the development of stevia products, including expenses related to consulting and professional fees as we underwent a change of control and management as well as a name change and forward stock split. The Company had no operations during the three month period ended December 31, 2010.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010
Our net loss from continuing operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was ($137,030) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of ($23,597) for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 (an increase in net loss of $113,433). During the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, we did not generate any revenue.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred general and administrative expenses in the aggregate amount of $116,692 compared to $19,107 incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 (an increase of $97,585). General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, consulting costs and travel expenses.

Also during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred related party rent totaling $5,500 compared to $nil incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 (an increase of $5,500).
This resulted in a loss of ($128,192) during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a loss from operations of ($21,107) during the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded total other expenses consisting of interest expense in the amount of ($6,803) and foreign currency translation expense in the amount of ($2,035) compared to total other expenses consisting of interest expense recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 in the amount of ($2,490) and foreign currency translation expense of Nil during the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
This resulted in a net loss from continuing operations of ($137,030) during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of ($23,597) during the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
The increase in net loss during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2010 is attributable primarily to higher general and administrative expenses incurred in the transition of our business from one with nominal operations to an agricultural biotechnology company engaged in the cultivation and harvest of stevia leaf and the development of stevia products, including expenses related to consulting and professional fees as we underwent a change of control and management as well as a name change and forward stock split. The Company had no operations during the nine month period ended December 31, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
-17-
As of December 31, 2011, we had total current assets of $19,847. Our total current assets as of December 31, 2011 were comprised of cash in the amount of $16,611 and prepaid expenses in the amount of $3,236. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2011 were $242,139 represented by accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $32,778, notes payable of $196,800, and accrued interest of $12,561. As a result, on December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficiency of $222,292.
Recent Financings
On January 31, 2012, we issued a $250,000 convertible debenture to a single investor in the January Private Placement. The debenture bears interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year beginning on June 30, 2012. The debenture is convertible at the holders option into our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share. We may elect to make interest payments in common stock valued at the conversion price. The entire principal balance of the debenture is due and payable three years following its issuance unless earlier redeemed by us in accordance with its terms. We may repay the principal and interest owing under the debenture in common stock at maturity or upon redemption of the debenture. The debenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the debenture to become or to be declared due and payable.
On February 7, 2012, we entered into the February Subscription Agreement pursuant to which, beginning on March 1, 2012, such investor irrevocably agreed to pay $1,250,000 in in consideration for our issuance of 625,000 shares of our common stock and convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $625,000. Under the February Subscription Agreement, the investor will purchase an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock and convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $625,000 in five tranches, for proceeds to us of $250,000 per tranche, under the following schedule: (i) on March 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 debenture convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.65; (ii) on June 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 debenture convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.80; (iii) on September 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 note convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.95; (iv) on December 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 note convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.10; and (v) on March 1, 2013, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 note convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.25. The conversion price of the common stock underlying each of the convertible notes is subject to adjustment upon a reclassification or other change in our outstanding common stock and certain distributions to all holders of our common stock, , and the conversion prices for all tranches may be set to $1.50 in the event that funding does not occur pursuant to the defined schedule.
Each convertible debenture issuable pursuant to the February Subscription Agreement will, upon its issuance, bear interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, and will be convertible at the holders option into our common stock at the applicable conversion price. We may elect to make interest payments in common stock valued at the conversion price. The entire principal balance of the debenture is due and payable three years following its date of issuance unless earlier redeemed by us in accordance with its terms. We may repay the principal and interest owing under each of the debentures in common stock at maturity or upon redemption of the debenture. The debenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the debenture to become or to be declared due and payable.
-18-
We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenue to date from our activities. We believe that if we do generate revenues in the foreseeable future, such revenues may be sparse and irregular and, if we receive any at all, they may be less than necessary to carry our business forward without additional financing. We had cash in the amount of $16,611 as of December 31, 2011 and obtained $250,000 in new financing on January 31, 2012 through issuance of the convertible debenture in the January Private Placement. As we discuss in Plan of Operations above, our total expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to be $1,034,000. After giving effect to the funds raised in the January Private Placement and the commitment under the February Subscription Agreement, as of the date of this Report we expect to have sufficient funds to operate our business over the next 12 months. However, our estimate of total expenditures could increase if we encounter unanticipated difficulties. In addition, our estimates of the amount of cash necessary to fund our business may prove to be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. Also, the investor could fail to comply with its future commitments under the February Subscription Agreement. If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to develop our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. Managements plans are to continue to seek funding from our stockholders and other qualified investors in order to pursue our business plan. Other than in connection with the February Subscription Agreement, we do not have any arrangements in place for any future financing. Sources of additional funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, net cash flow used in operating activities was $108,985 compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $23,957 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Net cash flow used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 consisted primarily of a net loss of ($137,030) adjusted by $24,630 for changes to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, ($1,000) for changes to accounts payable to related party, $6,789 for accrued interest on loans, and ($2,374) for prepaid expense. Net cash flow used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 consisted of a net loss of ($23,597) adjusted by $5,000 for expenses paid on behalf of us by a third party and $2,490 for accrued interest on loans and ($3,321) for prepaid expense and ($4,529) for accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net Cash From Financing Activities
During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, net cash flow provided from financing activities was $115,000 compared to net cash flow provided from financing activities of $25,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Net cash flow provided from financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 pertained primarily to $115,000 received as loans from the third party.
Loan Obligations
In addition to our obligations under the convertible debenture issued in the January Private Placement as described above, the Company currently has loans and promissory notes outstanding in an aggregate amount of $196,800. These loans are payable on demand and accrue interest at 6% per annum. Aggregate accrued interest under the loans as of December 31, 2011 was $12,561. The loans and promissory notes were issued between December 23, 2008 and October 26, 2011 to two holders. If the holders of these loans and promissory notes were to demand payment of the principal and interest owing under such loans, we may not have sufficient cash available to make these payments, or if sufficient funds were available, to fund our operations after such payments had been made.
-19-
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Going Concern Statement
We have negative working capital, have not yet received revenues from sales of products or services, and have recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company discontinue operations.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, managements estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with its characterization of the Company as a development stage enterprise.
-20-
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
It is management's opinion that all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period have been made. All adjustments are of normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. There were $9,847 in advertising costs incurred in the prior nine months and no advertising costs were incurred in the prior year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are equal.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Management has evaluated the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the date of this report and has determined that their adoption will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Item 5. Other Information
On February 7, 2012, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the February Subscription Agreement) with one investor pursuant to which, beginning on March 1, 2012, such investor irrevocably agreed to provide $1,250,000 in funds to us over a twelve month period, and we agreed to issue an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock and convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $625,000. Under the February Subscription Agreement, the investor will purchase an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock and convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $625,000 in five tranches, for proceeds to us of $250,000 per tranche, under the following schedule: (i) on March 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 debenture convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.65; (ii) on June 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 debenture convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.80; (iii) on September 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 note convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.95; (iv) on December 1, 2012, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 note convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.10; and (v) on March 1, 2013, 125,000 shares of common stock and a $125,000 note convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.25. The conversion price of the common stock underlying each of the convertible notes is subject to adjustment upon a reclassification or other change in our outstanding common stock and certain distributions to all holders of our common stock.. Such conversion prices may be set to $1.50 in the event that funding does not occur pursuant to the defined schedule.
Each convertible debenture issuable pursuant to the February Subscription Agreement will, upon its issuance, bear interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, and will be convertible at the holders option into our common stock at the applicable conversion price. We may elect to make interest payments in common stock valued at the conversion price. The entire principal balance of the debenture is due and payable three years following its date of issuance unless earlier redeemed by us in accordance with its terms. We may repay the principal and interest owing under each of the debentures in common stock at maturity or upon redemption of the debenture. The debenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the debenture to become or to be declared due and payable.
The offer and sale of the convertible debenture, the common stock and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debenture pursuant to the February Subscription Agreement (collectively, the Securities) has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), and such Securities are being sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We are under no obligation to register the resale of the Securities and do not expect to do so. The Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under or exemption from the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The purchaser of the Securities has represented that it is an accredited investor as defined in the rules and regulations under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof.
