Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on August 25, 2003. The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. The Company entered into a mineral license option agreement to explore and mine two properties in Mongolia. On April 19, 2006, the Company terminated the option agreements it previously held. On May 2, 2006, the Company changed its name to Knewtrino, Inc. On May 24, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain technology owned by Instant Wirefree, Inc. by acquiring 100% of the common shares of Instant Wirefree, Inc. in exchange for cash in the amount of $ 27,500 and 18,700,000 common shares of the Company. During the year, the Company changed its business focus and as a result will no longer be developing the Instant Wirefree technology. As a result, the Company has recognized an impairment of $ 46,200 in the value of the technology asset. On August 10, 2007, the Company changed its name to Vanguard Minerals Corporation. In November 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Coastal Uranium Holdings Ltd. to acquire its right and option to an undivided 50% right, title and interest in certain mineral claims in the Athabasca region of Canada for $58,300 (Cdn) plus 2,000,000 shares of the common stock of Vanguard. In addition, Vanguard agreed to take on the financial responsibility of Coastal Uranium Holdings Ltd. to fund development of the mineral property. In April 2008, Vanguard entered into a second agreement with Coastal Uranium Holdings Ltd. to acquire its 50% interest in mining claim S- 110476 in the Athabasca region of Canada for $ 250,000 (Cdn) plus 4,000,000 shares of the common stock of Vanguard. In addition, Vanguard agreed to take on the financial responsibility of Coastal Uranium Holdings Ltd. to fund development of the mineral property. The Company has not generated any revenues to date from its mineral exploration efforts, and in accordance with SFAS #7 (ASC 915-10) is considered to be an Exploration Stage Company. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Basis ---------------- These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 9 VANGUARD MINERALS CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2010 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of 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 year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates. Mineral Properties ------------------ Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as occurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, 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. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. All mineral properties held at December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been fully impaired. Loss Per Share -------------- Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, if not anti-dilutive. The Company has not issued any potentially dilutive common shares. Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. Dividends --------- The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown. Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured Income Taxes ------------ The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward. 10 VANGUARD MINERALS CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2010 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------ The Company did not issue any stock-based payments to its employees in 2009 or 2008. The Company uses the modified prospective method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the estimated grant-date fair value. Recent Accounting Pronouncements -------------------------------- In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled "Subsequent Events". Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered "issued" when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the year ended November 30, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements as of that date. In connection with the preparation of the accompanying financial statements as of November 30, 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued (filed with the SEC). In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ("SFAS 168" or ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented. As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards. With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows. Foreign currency transactions ----------------------------- The business of the Company from Canada involves incurring a substantial number of operational transactions in Canada for which it transacts payments in Canadian currency through a bank account maintained for that purpose. Included in such transactions are payments for salaries, rent, consulting and many other expenses. At the time of payment, each Canadian disbursement is translated into the U. S. dollar equivalent amount and an exchange gain or loss on currency is recorded at that time. As of December 31, 2009, the Canadian bank account balance, which was the only account balance maintained in foreign currency at that date was converted into a U. S. dollar equivalent amount. NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has a balance owing of $28,151 to a related party. The loan is unsecured and bears no interest. There are no specific terms of repayment with this loan. 11 VANGUARD MINERALS CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2010 NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT On November 15, 2007, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of a 50% interest in two mineral claims. On April 6, 2008, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of a third mineral claim. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 2,333,333 shares of common stock for $70,000 in connection with a private placement. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 492,336 shares of common stock for $224,400 in connection with a private placement. Effective April 16, 2010, the board of directors of the Company adopted a resolution to effect a 300 to 1 reverse share spit. As a result the authorized share capital of the common has been decreased to 1,666,666 shares of common stock with par value of $0.001 per share. On April 23, 2010, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a deemed price of $ 1.50 per share. In consideration, the Company received 1,000,000 shares of PEI Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following: March 31, 2010 ------------- Refundable Federal income tax attributable to: Current operations $ 185 Less: valuation allowance (185) ------------- Net provision for Federal income taxes $ - ============= The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows: March 31, 2010 ------------- Deferred tax asset attributable to: Net operating loss carryover $ 1,872,600 Less: valuation allowance (1,872,600) ------------- Net deferred tax asset $ - ============= Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. 12 VANGUARD MINERALS CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2010 NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has not begun to generate revenues, and has incurred a significant operating loss as of December 31, 2009. The Company is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful. Without sufficient financing, or the achievement of profitable operations, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. NOTE 7 - CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND RESTATEMENTS The Company has restated its balance sheet and statement of operations at December 31, 2008 to correct errors in its accounting. Property and equipment were disposed of with a net book value of $8,824. Correspondingly, depreciation expense was reduced by $7,089. In addition, accrued liabilities in the amount of $15,913 were reversed. Also, an expense paid in 2008 in the amount of $59,004 related to a prior period. The net effect of these adjustments was to increase the December 31, 2007 accumulated deficit by $59,004 and reduce the net loss for the year by $66,092. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet has been restated to correct the property and equipment, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and stockholders'equity (deficit). The December 31, 2008 statement of operations has been restated to reflect the changes in expenses. The following are the before and after balances as restated: Year Ended December 31, 2008 Balance Sheet Property and Equipment, net of depreciation Before $ 8,824 After $ 0 Current Liabilities Before $ 154,250 After $ 138,337 Stockholders' Equity Before $ (141,719) After $ (134,630) Statement of Operations Operating Expenses Before $ 2,756,922 After $ 2,733,620 Other Income (Expense) Before $ 0 After $ (16,214) Income (Loss) from Operations Before $ (2,756,922) After $ (2,690,830) Net Income (Loss) Before $ (2,756,922) After $ (2,690,830) 13 VANGUARD MINERALS CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2010 NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 23, 2010, the Company completed a sale transaction whereby it sold 1,000,000 of its common shares at a price per share of $ 1.50. The per share purchase price was paid in the form of share of PEI Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation. This transaction has the effect of causing a change of control in the Company. The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2010 through the date the financial statements were submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission and has determined that it does not have any additional material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements. 14 Item 2.

Overview Vanguard Minerals Corporation, formerly Knewtrino, Inc., (the "Company") was originally incorporated as Mongolian Explorations Ltd. on August 25, 2003, under the laws of the State of Nevada. We were originally founded to conduct mineral explorations in Mongolia. Although we did exploratory feasibility work on mineral lease development, we abandoned our mineral exploration efforts in April, 2006 due to the deteriorating political and security situation in Mongolia and specifically due to intense protests over North American mining concessions in that country which jeopardize the safety of our consultants as well as undermining our confidence that we will ever be able to see a return on our continued investments to develop the properties. Since that time, we had appointed an interim chief executive officer, Jenifer Osterwalder, who saw us through our transition out of the mineral exploration business and now are under the leadership of a new chief executive officer, Vladimir Fedyunin, and we were in the process of developing a business around cell phone enabled wireless applications. Toward that end, we acquired the intellectual property of wireless technology start-up Instant Wirefree, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Unfortunately, we were not able to make the transition to the ultra-competitive field of cell phone wireless applications. In June, 2007, we made the decision to abandon this line of business and to no longer pursue commercialization of any product in the wireless space. Instead, we have returned to our original, core focus of mining, where the company has its roots, however, we wished to find a more politically stable and less dangerous environment to mine in than Mongolia. 15 In September, 2007, we changed our name to Vanguard Minerals Corporation to reflect our renewed commitment to our traditional core business of mineral exploration. In November 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Coastal Uranium Holdings Ltd. to acquire its right and option to acquire an undivided 50% right, title and interest in certain mineral claims in the Athabasca region. The option was acquired through payment of $ 57,585 in cash as well as 2,000,000 common shares of the Company. On April 6, 2008, we entered into another agreement with Coastal Uranium Holdings Ltd., whereby we acquired a 50% undivided right, title and interest to the mineral claim numbered S-110476 in the Athabasca region of Canada in exchange for $250,000 CAD ($248,508 USD) and 4,000,000 common shares of Vanguard Minerals corporation. In addition, we have agreed to take on the financial responsibility of Coastal to fund development of the mineral property that is the subject of claim S-110476. The Company has not yet made any significant development progress on any mineral property within the Athabasca region and does not believe it will be able to do so until it acquires additional resources through debt or equity investments, partnerships or other methods of capital infusion. In February, 2010, James Price was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and Sole Director of the Company. Vladimir Fedyunin, the former President and CEO, remained as Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. On April 16, 2010, we effected a 300 for 1 reverse stock split in our common shares for shareholders of record as of that date. On April 20, 2010, the Company initiated a new line of business doing business as Vanguard Management. The Company intends to provide management and business development consultation to emerging growth companies in a wide variety of fields including uranium mining, gold and silver mining, coal mining, clean coal technology, environmentally friendly resource extraction, green energy technologies as well as other businesses that may be interested in the Company's services. On April 23, 2010, the Company completed a sale transaction whereby it sold 1,000,000 of its common shares at a price per share of $1.50. The per share purchase price was paid in the form of shares of PEI Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("PEI"). The per share purchase price was derived from the closing price of shares of PEI on April 20, 2010 as listed on the Pink Sheets, which was $1.50 per share. Therefore, the total purchase price for the 1,000,000 common shares was $1,500,000. 860,000 of the shares were purchased by James Price and the other 140,000 of the shares were purchased by various purchasers. 1,000,000 shares of PEI represents approximately 2.5% of the issued and outstanding stock of PEI. This was a related-party transaction. Mr. Price is our sole director and he approved this transaction. There was no disinterested director who approved this transaction. There can be no assurance that the price reported for PEI shares on the Pink Sheets is an accurate reflection of the true value of PEI shares. This transaction had the effect of causing a change of control in the registrant. Prior to this transaction, the registrant had 268,499 shares of common stock issued and outstanding out of 1,666,666 authorized. After this transaction and giving effect to the transaction described in the paragraph below regarding the issuance of 187,000 common shares, Mr. Price owns approximately 59.1% of our issued and outstanding stock and remains our sole director. On April 23, 2010, the registrant completed an issuance of 187,000 shares of common stock. This stock had been subscribed for in April, 2008 for payment of $224,400 in cash received by the corporation. The corporation issued 187,000 of its common shares to various subscribers of the stock at a per share purchase price of $1.20 per share. 16 Results of Operations Until April 19, 2006, we have been involved primarily in organizational activities related to our original business of mining in Mongolia, including the acquisition of the option to acquire the Altan as well as the Ovorkhangai property mineral licenses, obtaining a geological report on our mineral licenses and initiating the first phase of exploration. After April 19, 2006, when we abandoned these efforts due to the political situation in Mongolia, we acquired wireless technology from Instant Wirefree, Inc., a Nevada corporation. We attempted to commercialize technology for the wireless space but abandoned that effort in June, 2007. We are currently in the process of returning to our core business of mining. Toward that end, we changed our name in September 2007 and we acquired interests in mineral claims in the Athabasca region of Canada in November 2007 and April 2008. We have incurred an accumulated net loss of $5,507,739 for the period from inception to March 31, 2010. We have had no revenues from operations since our inception. In April, 2010, the Company initiated a new line of business to provide management and business development consultation to emerging growth companies in a wide variety of fields including uranium mining, gold and silver mining, coal mining, clean coal technology, environmentally friendly resource extraction, green energy technologies as well as other businesses that may be interested in the Company's services. The Company is currently seeking financing for the development of its mineral property interests and also for the development of its new line of management and business development consultation. The Company has no present plans to acquire any plant, property of equipment during the next 12 months, but these plans may change as the financing environment in the capital markets continues to improve. Financial Condition and Liquidity Overview -------- Our financial statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business. We incurred an accumulated net loss of $5,507,739 for the period from inception to March 31, 2010. Our financial statements included in this report have been prepared without any adjustments that would be necessary if we become unable to continue as a going concern and are therefore required to realize upon our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business. The Company had its independent auditors re-audit its December 31, 2008 financial statements and the Company restated its financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2008 in its 10K for the period ended December 31, 2009. Cash and Working Capital ------------------------ The Company's cash balance as of March 31, 2010 was $72, as compared to the cash balance of $108 as of December 31, 2009. 17 Periods Ending March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 ------------------------------------------------ Operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 totalled $537 and $10,833 respectively and from inception to the period ended March 31, 2010 totalled $4,790,946. The company experienced a net loss of $537, $7,803 and $5,507,739 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 March 31, 2009 and from inception to period ended March 31, 2010, respectively, against no revenue from operations. The major expenses during this three month period were for general administrative, rent and utilities. Operating expenses for three month periods ending March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $537 and $10,833 respectively, indicating a decrease in operating expenses of $10,296. This was due almost entirely to decreased wages and benefits. We did not acquire any mineral property in the first three months of 2010. The earnings per share (fully diluted -- weighted average) was a net loss of $0.00 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, net cash used in operating activities, consisting mostly of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $10,450. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities, consisting mostly of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $480. For the period from inception to March 31, 2010, net cash used in operating activities, consisting mostly of loss from operations was $2,263,737. For the period from inception to March 31, 2010, net cash resulting from financing activities was in the amount of $2,317,411. Our capital resources have been limited. We currently do not, and have not yet determined when we will, generate revenue for our mining and mineral exploration activities, and to date have relied on the sale of equity and related party loans for cash required for our exploration activities. The company has no external sources of liquidity in the form of credit lines from banks. No investment banking agreements are in place and there is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise capital in the future should that become necessary. Future Financings ----------------- We anticipate that if we pursue any additional financing, the financing would be an equity financing achieved through the sale of our common stock. We do not have any arrangement in place for any debt or equity financing. If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company. If we do not secure additional financing in the future we may consider bringing in a joint venture partner to provide the required funding. We have not, however, undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. In addition, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner to exploit our mineral resources. 18 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 financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders. Significant Contingencies ------------------------- Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have made reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report of independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our continuation 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 pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Plan of Operation We have developed a new plan of operation for 2010. In addition to continuing to seek financing to develop our mineral properties in the Athabasca region of Canada, we also have developed a new line of business. The Company intends to provide management and business development consultation to emerging growth companies in a wide variety of fields including uranium mining, gold and silver mining, coal mining, clean coal technology, environmentally friendly resource extraction, green energy technologies as well as other businesses that may be interested in the Company's services. We are currently actively seeking to develop this line of business and we believe that there is a good chance that the Company will develop revenues from this new line of business in 2010, though such revenues cannot be assured and the Company has very limited visibility at this time to anticipate the extent of any such revenues. We do not intend to conduct any significant mineral exploration activities on our properties in 2010 unless we are able to obtain sufficient financing. We continue to seek geological advice and work on developing possible partnerships for the development of these properties. If we received funding, which is not certain, we would then intend to conduct over the next 12 months helicopter-supported property-scale boulder sampling and prospecting, close-spaced ground geophysics and drilling on our mining properties. With these two projects, consisting of 3 mineral claims, in close proximity to each other, we believe such operations can be conducted in a cost-efficient manner. We are now ready to commence ground geophysics and drilling. Management wishes to continue negotiations started in 2008 with geophysical and drill contractors in preparation for this exploration. Management is also reviewing other opportunities to acquire additional property in the region, both unexplored properties and properties with varying amounts of previous exploration. Vanguard Minerals Corporation's short-term prospects are challenging considering our lack of financial resources to fully develop our mineral properties and considering that we have not yet derived any revenues from our new line of business. However, should we be able to develop revenue from our new line of business or secure financing to develop our mineral properties, our prospects might improve considerably. If we do secure additional financing to continue to exploit our mineral properties, revenue from the sale of mineral products from our properties may still remain several years away. 19 Cash requirements Our current cash requirements are very low. Our chief executive officer, James Price and our chief financial officer, Vladimir Fedyunin, continue to serve without a salary. Mr. Price currently hosts our operations in his offices in San Diego, California without charge. Mr. Price has also been conducting activities in our new line of business related to business development and management consulting at minimal expense to the Company. Nevertheless, without continued infusions of cash from management or securing additional financing or revenues from our new line of business, we will not have enough cash to continue our operations. Research and development We would like to spend several hundred thousand dollars over the next 12 months on exploration and extraction related to our mineral properties. We would spend significantly more money that this developing those mineral properties at the moment that our full scale extraction operation were to commence. However, currently we do not have enough cash to make any such expenditures. Plant and equipment We currently have offices in San Diego provided by our chief executive officer, James Price, at no cost. We anticipate expanding our office within the next 6-12 months, especially in our new line of business related to management consulting and business development. Employees We have two employees currently, President and Chief Executive Officer James Price and Chief Financial Officer, Vladimir Fedyunin. We have several consultants engaged in our mineral exploration activities, although none are currently active due to our lack of funding. We intend to hire additional exploration and geological consultants over the next 120-180 days, if we receive funding. We also intend to hire additional staff to develop the Company's new line of business related to management consulting and business development, as revenues from that operation permit. The Company's executive offices are currently located in San Diego, California. The company's telephone number is (858)525-5695. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Foreign Currency and Credit Risk. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company's reporting currency is the US Dollar. We do undertake drilling, mining exploration and other expenses related to our Canadian mining properties which must be paid in Canadian dollars and are subject to cost variations based in currency rate fluctuations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including prepaid expenses, related party receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2010 and 2009 approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. 20 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). As a result of this evaluation, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. Accordingly, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009. As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of the deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below. The material weakness identified in our amended annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 was related to a lack of an accounting staff resulting in a lack of segregation of duties and accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control. (b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 21 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not party to any legal proceedings. Item 1A. RISK FACTORS. There are certain additional risk factors that have been added to our business in addition to those that appear on our report on Form 10K for the period ending December 31, 2009. Those factors are listed below: We are utterly dependent on our Chief Executive Officer, James Price. As our current cash requirements, office space, the management of any prospective mineral development and the development and execution of our new line of business in management consulting and business development services are entirely dependent on the voluntary, currently uncompensated efforts of our Chief Executive Officer, James Price. If Mr. Price were to discontinue his efforts on our behalf or refuse to continue to serve without compensation, refuse to provide us with additional cash or refuse to provide us with office space without charge, we would fail. We are under the control of our Chief Executive Officer, James Price As our current Chief Executive Officer, James Price, is our sole director and controls 59.1% of our issued and outstanding stock. Mr. Price is therefore able to exert nearly complete and total control of our business, affairs, potential transactions, sale or disposition of assets, entering into contracts or acquisitions. Mr. Price may engage, and has engaged, in related-party transactions with the Company and there can be no assurance that these transactions will be fair to us or our shareholders. Mr. Price, because he can also increase our authorized shares and cause our shares to be issued, may be able to cause substantial dilution to our current shareholders without obtaining their consent. We have no experience at our new line of business, management consulting and business development, and we could fail to derive any revenue therefrom Our company has no experience in management consulting or business development. Although our Chief Executive Officer, James Price, does have some limited experience in these areas, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this new line of business or ever derive any revenue there from. Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS None. Item 3. DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None. Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS During the period, the registrant filed on form Pre-14C a notification that it intended to seek consent of its shareholders to amend its articles of incorporation to change its name and to increase the number of authorized shares. However, this matter was not in fact submitted to the shareholders for a vote during the period. Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION None. 22 Item 6.
