DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover.
Vic Vein Mining Claim
On April 18th, 2007 we entered into a Mineral Property Staking and Purchase Agreement with 1698727 Ontario Inc. whereby we purchased a 100% interest in the Vic Vein mining claim, which is located approximately 250 kilometers west of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada, for $7,500.00. However, we no longer own any rights to the claim as it lapsed on October 6, 2010.
We are currently searching for new mineral properties to acquire.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada or wherever any mineral properties we may purchase are located.
We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration and development work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not currently own any mineral properties. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
·
Water discharge will have to meet water standards;
·
Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
·
Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated;
4
·
An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;
·
Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
·
The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and
·
There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this filing other than our directors.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Dependence on Major Customers
We have no customers.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 2.
Properties
As the Vic Vein lapsed as of October 6, 2010, we no longer have any rights to explore for and extract minerals from the Vic Vein claim. We do not own any real property interest in any properties.

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings. Our address for service of process in Nevada is 2620 Regatta Drive, Suite 102, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89128.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
There is currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our shares may never trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
Holders
As of November 12, 2010, there were 32 holders of our common stock.
Dividends
We have not paid dividends on our common stock, and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
We have no compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to us which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statement contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2010.
Plan of Operation
As at July 31, 2010, we had a cash balance of $2,435, compared to a cash balance of $1,539 as of July 31, 2009. Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to seek out and acquire a new mineral property or properties for exploration and development.
We anticipate spending approximately $15,000 on administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with reporting obligations over the next 12 months.
We do not have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated administrative expenses or to acquire a new mineral property, so we will require additional funding. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our
7
common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.
If we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan. Any business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on possible acquisition of additional resource properties. Such due diligence would likely include purchase investigation costs, such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits.
Our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to acquire any resource property and additional funds will be required to close any possible acquisition. As a reporting company we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. If no other such opportunities are available and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain minimum operations, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.
Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include the following:
?
our ability to raise additional funding;
·
our ability to acquire a new mineral property;
?
the market price for minerals that may be found on any mineral property we may acquire;
?
the results of our proposed exploration programs on the mineral property; and
?
our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
We have had no operating revenues since our inception on February 9, 2007 through July 31, 2010, and have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $61,379 for the same period. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and director loans.
We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on any mineral property we may acquire, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on any mineral property we may acquire, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses were $5,901 (2009 $5,328) and professional fees were $11,010 (2009 - $6,224). Since our inception on February 9, 2007 through July 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses were $16,779, professional fees were $31,600 and we incurred $12,500 in geological, mineral and prospect costs.
8
During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $(16,911), which resulted in an accumulated deficit of $(61,379), compared to a net loss of $(11,552) for the year ended July 31, 2009.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $2,435 as of July 31, 2010, compared to a cash position of $1,539 at July 31, 2008. Since inception through to and including July 31, 2010, we have raised $29,200 through private placements of our common shares.
We expect to run at a loss for at least the next twelve months. We have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to acquire a new mineral property and carry out any exploration work on it and our venture will fail.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders,
Atlantic Resources Inc.:
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Atlantic Resources Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of July 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from February 9, 2007 (Date of Inception) to July 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinions.
In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for years ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from February 9, 2007 (Date of Inception) to July 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage company and has yet to commence operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to their planned financing and other matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2010
Note 1
Operations
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. The Company is engaged in activities related to the exploration for mineral resources in Canada. The Company acquired a mineral property claim located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, but allowed the claim on October 6, 2010. The Company is currently searching for new mineral properties to acquire.
The Company has adopted July 31as its fiscal year end.
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated a deficit of $61,379 since inception, has yet to achieve profitable operations 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. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassifications to the assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Company was unable to continue its operations. Management plans to obtain short-term loans from the directors of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when a contract is in place, minerals are delivered to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured.

Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont’d)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates. Management believes such estimates to be reasonable.
Exploration Stage Company
As an exploration stage Company, it is a type of development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-915. Accordingly, the Company devotes substantially all of its present efforts to establish its business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at July 31, 2010, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. (July 31, 2009 – $nil).
Mineral Property Costs
Past mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs have been expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified, at which time the Company would capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flows from mineral reserves equal or exceed the costs deferred The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. Costs related to site restoration programs will be accrued over the life of the project.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the year is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities and measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Environmental costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of:
i)
Completion of a feasibility study; or
ii)
The Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Financial Instruments
Fair Value
The fair value of financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant credit risk. As well, management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risks during the period presented in these financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the eventual outcome of the risks and uncertainties described above.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative instruments according to FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These standards establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

Cash and Currency Risks
The Company incurs expenditures in Canadian and U.S. dollars. Consequently, some assets and liabilities are exposed to Canadian dollar foreign currency fluctuations. As at July 31, 2010, there were no amounts denominated in Canadian dollars included in the financial statements. The Company has cash balances at well-known financial institutions. Balances in U.S. dollars at Canadian institutions are not protected by insurance and are therefore subject to deposit risk. As at July 31, 2010 all cash and equivalents represented cash at Canadian financial institutions.
Foreign Currency Translations
The Company's functional currency is US dollars. Foreign currency balances are translated into US dollars as follows:
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at their acquisition, unless such assets are carried at market or nominal value, in which case they are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses in the period are included in operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Income Taxes
The impact of differences between the Company’s reported income tax provision on operating income and the benefit that would otherwise result from the application of statutory rates is noted below. As management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been recorded.
Balance, July 31 | 2010 | 2009 |
Statutory rate and effective rate | 29.1% | 30.2% |

Income tax recovery at statutory rate | $ 4,926 | $ 3,489 |
Temporary differences | 6 | 7 |
Income tax rate change | (471) | (747) |
Valuation allowance | (4,461) | (2,749) |
Net income tax benefit | $ - | $ - |
The components of the net deferred tax asset are as follows:
As at July 31 | 2010 | 2009 |
Net operating loss carried forward of $60,973 ($44,041 in 2009) | $ 17,761 | $ 13,300 |
Valuation allowance | (17,761) | (13,300) |
Net income tax benefit | $ - | $ - |
The valuation allowance increased $4,461 in 2010 and $2,479 in 2009.
Under normal circumstances the ability to apply the tax loss of $60,973 will expire between 2027 and 2029.

Item 9.
Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There have been no changes in and disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure from the inception of our company through to the date of this Report.
Item 9A(t). Controls and Procedures.
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and our Chief Accounting Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and our Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting.
As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2010.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2010 certain internal control weaknesses became evident that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses, including: (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties; and (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal controls or in other factors that occurred during our last fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Each common share entitles the holder thereof to one vote in respect of any matters that may properly come before our stockholders.

Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

The percent ownership of class is based on 4,700,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
Under the rules of the Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
