Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

   

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 9, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

   

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at February 29, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $67,728 and has accumulated losses of $163,379 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

   
2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


  a)

Basis of Presentation

     
 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31.

     
  b)

Interim Financial Statements

     
 

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.

     
  c)

Use of Estimates

     
 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of long-lived assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

     
  d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     
 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     
e)

Mineral Property Costs

     

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 9, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

     
f)

Long-lived Assets

     

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

     
g)

Asset Retirement Obligations

     

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.

     
h)

Financial Instruments

     

The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

     
i)

Income Taxes

     

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     
j)

Foreign Currency Translation

     

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in Canadian dollars and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

     
k)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period 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 shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

     
l)

Comprehensive Loss

     

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

     
m)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007Revised) “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007)The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

     

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements- an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations

     

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

n)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

     

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     
o)

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

     

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

     
a)

As at February 29, 2008, the Company is indebted to the Secretary of the Company for $17,239 (August 31, 2007 - $11,263), representing expenditures paid on behalf of the Company. This amount is unsecured, bears no interest, and is due on demand.

     
b)

The Company recognizes donated rent at $250 per month, donated services provided by the Secretary of the Company at $250 per month and donated services provided by the President of the Company at $250 per month. During the six- month period ended February 29, 2008, the Company recognized $1,500 (2007 – $1,500) in donated rent and $3,000 (2007 – $3,000) in donated services.

     
4.

Mineral Properties

     

The Company entered into an agreement dated August 25, 2005 to acquire a 100% interest in three mineral claims located near Yale, British Columbia, Canada, for consideration of $7,500. The claims are registered in the name of the Secretary of the Company, who has executed a trust agreement whereby the Secretary agreed to hold the claims in trust on behalf of the Company. The Vendor retains a 2% net smelter royalty. The cost of the mineral property was initially capitalized. As at August 31, 2006, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $7,500, as it had not yet been determined whether there are proven or probable reserves on the property. On January 16, 2008, the three mineral claims were allowed to lapse due to poor results from the first phase of the exploration program.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding Pioneer’s capital needs, business plans and expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding Pioneer’s ability to carry out its planned exploration programs on its mineral properties. Forward-looking statements are made, without limitation, in relation to Pioneer’s operating plans, Pioneer’s liquidity and financial condition, availability of funds, operating and exploration costs and the market in which Pioneer competes. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined below, and, from time to time, in other reports Pioneer files with the SEC. These factors may cause Pioneer’s actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Pioneer disclaims any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Overview

Pioneer is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration properties. Up until January17, 2008, Pioneer held a 100% beneficial interest in three mineral exploration claims named Pipe 1, Queen 1 and Queen 2, which were collectively known as the “Pipe Property” and which were situated along Sawmill Creek, a tributary of the Fraser River, approximately 6.3 kilometres (3.9 miles) northwest of Yale, British Columbia in the New Westminster mining division of British Columbia, Canada. Pioneer acquired the Pipe Property pursuant to a purchase agreement dated August 25, 2005. Thomas J. Brady, a director of Pioneer, was holding the property in trust for Pioneer.

Pioneer conducted the first phase of an initial preliminary exploration program for nickel and molybdenum on the Pipe Property. Pioneer obtained a geological report in November 2007 that summarizes the results and conclusions of this initial phase, which concluded that further exploration of the Pipe Property is not warranted. Accordingly, Pioneer has abandoned any further exploration of the Pipe Property and on January 16, 2008 Pioneer allowed its registration on the Pipe Property to lapse.

Pioneer is presently seeking to acquire a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property. Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in a new property. Management anticipates that Pioneer will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any new property. To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreement for the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Based on its financial position, there is no assurance that Pioneer will be able to continue its business operations.

Pioneer has not generated any revenue or conducted any development operations since inception.



Form 10-Q – Q2 Pioneer Exploration Inc. 12

Exploration Stage Company

Pioneer is an exploration stage company. Pioneer has abandoned exploration of its only mineral property, the Pipe Property, based on the results of a preliminary exploration program that Pioneer had completed on its mineral property. Accordingly, Pioneer does not own any mineral properties that warrant further exploration.

Plan of Operation

Pioneer’s plan of operations is to seek to acquire an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property. Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in any new property. Management anticipates that Pioneer will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any interest in a new property. To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, even if Pioneer is able to acquire an interest in a new property, there is no assurance that it will be able to raise the financing necessary to complete exploration of the new property. Based on Pioneer’s financial position, there is no assurance that Pioneer will be able to continue its business operations.

In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:

  (a)

Management anticipates, in addition to funding its working capital deficit, spending approximately $42,000 for the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Pioneer’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, and general office expenses.

     
  (b)

As at February 29, 2008, Pioneer had cash of $311 and a working capital deficit of $67,728. Accordingly, Pioneer will require additional financing in the amount of $109,728 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.

During the 12 month period following the date of this quarterly report, management anticipates that Pioneer will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, Pioneer will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Pioneer’s plan of operations as Pioneer does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock. However, Pioneer does not have any financing arranged and it cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, Pioneer will not be able to acquire any interest in a new property and its business plan will fail. Even if Pioneer is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquires an interest in a new property, additional exploration property will be required before a determination as to whether commercially exploitable mineralization or quantities of oil or gas are present. If Pioneer does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and its plan of operations.

Risk Factors

An investment in Pioneer’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks. Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Pioneer’s Form SB-2/A filed on February 20, 2007.

Plan of Operations

As described above, Pioneer has abandoned its exploration of the Pipe Property based on the initial results of its exploration program and in addition to funding its working capital deficit Pioneer will require $42,000 to pay for anticipated professional fees and administrative expenses over the next 12 months. Pioneer will require additional financing of an unknown amount if it is to acquire an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas property. Further, Pioneer will require additional financing to continue to fund future exploration activities if it is successful in acquiring an interest in a new property. There is no assurance that Pioneer will acquire an interest in a new property or any financing that would enable Pioneer to complete any such acquisition or to carry out future exploration of any new property.

Form 10-Q – Q2 Pioneer Exploration Inc. 15

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. Pioneer regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of long-lived assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Pioneer bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by Pioneer may differ materially and adversely from Pioneer’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Mineral Property Costs

Pioneer has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 9, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. Pioneer assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Pioneer is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

EX-14.1 2 exhibit14-1.htm CODE OF ETHICS Filed by Automated Filing Services Inc. (604) 609-0244 - Pioneer Exploration Inc. - Exhibit 14.1

PIONEER EXPLORATION INC.

Code of Ethics Overview

Pioneer has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) that is applicable to every officer, director, employee and consultant of the company and its affiliates (collectively the “Employee” or “Employees”). The Code reaffirms the high standards of business conduct required of all Employees. The Code is part of Pioneer’s continuing efforts to (1) ensure that it complies with all applicable laws, (2) have an effective program in place to prevent and detect violations of law, and (3) educate and train its Employees to be aware and understand ethical business practices. In most circumstances, the Code sets standards that are higher than the law requires.

Pioneer has also adopted eight corporate values: Focus, Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Teamwork, Integrity, Open Communications and Positive Attitude. See Schedule “A” for a statement on each value. The values have been adopted to provide a framework for all Employees in conducting themselves in their jobs. These values are not intended to substitute for the Code, but will serve as guidelines in helping the Employees to conduct Pioneer’s business in accordance with the Code.

The Code is not intended to cover every possible situation in which an Employee may find himself or herself. It is meant to give each Employee the boundaries within which Pioneer expects each Employee to conduct himself or herself while representing Pioneer. An Employee may find himself or herself in a situation where there is no clear guidance given by the Code. If that occurs, return to the objective stated below: common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity, and refer to Pioneer‘s values. In addition, there are many resources upon which an Employee may rely, including the President and other Pioneer officers and management. Together all Employees can continue to make Pioneer a company that sets a standard for fashion service companies.

Objective

One of Pioneer’s objectives is to conduct all business operations in the utmost ethical manner utilizing common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity. Pioneer cares about its Employees, shareholders, clients, suppliers, and the communities in which it conducts its business operations. In the course of meeting its business objectives, Pioneer considers it essential that all Employees understand and comply with the Code and therefore share and participate in Pioneer’s way of conducting business.

Standard of Conduct

Pioneer insists that all aspects of its business operations are conducted with honesty, integrity and fairness, and with respect for the interests of those affected by its business and activities. Pioneer also expects the same in its relationships with all those with whom it does business.

Each Employee must maintain and foster integrity and honesty in all dealings with clients and all business transactions. Each Employee must commit to act according to the highest ethical standards and is expected to apply ethical business practices in administrative and financial aspects of the business operations of Pioneer.

Pioneer Exploration Inc. Code of Ethics Page 1


No code of conduct can hope to lay down appropriate behavior for every situation, nor should it seek to do so. Each Employee is required to make a careful and considered judgment of what is right and proper in any particular situation.

It is the obligation of every Employee in conducting the business operations of Pioneer to be responsible, honest, trustworthy, conscientious, and dedicated to the highest standards of ethical business practices. Accordingly, all Employees are required to avoid not only impropriety, but also the appearance of impropriety in conducting the business operations of Pioneer.

Obeying the Law

All Employees of Pioneer are required to comply with (1) the letter and the spirit of laws and regulations of the countries in which Pioneer conducts business operations, (2) the accepted business practices in commercial markets, and (3) any contractual terms and conditions applicable to any business transaction.

It is expected that each Employee will use common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity in all the Employee’s business dealings.

Each Employee must commit to know and abide by all applicable laws and regulations. Employees are expected to be familiar with the Code as it applies to their duties. Each Employee is required to follow and to comply with the Code. A refusal by any Employee to agree to be bound by the Code will be grounds for discipline up to and including dismissal.

A breach of any law, regulation or ethical standard by any Employee will not be justified by the pursuit of profit or the departure from acceptable practice by competitors.

Enforcement of Code

The Code will be enforced at all levels fairly and without prejudice. Any breach of any standard of the Code may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Warren Robb, Pioneer’s chief executive officer, has been appointed as Compliance Officer of Pioneer, responsible for overseeing compliance with, and enforcement of, the Code.

Thomas Brady, Pioneer’s corporate secretary, has been appointed as Assistant Compliance Officer of Pioneer, responsible for overseeing compliance with, and enforcement of, the Code. If an Employee encounters a situation that the Employee is not able to resolve by reference to the Code, the Employee should ask for help from the Compliance Officer or the Assistant Compliance Officer if they need assistance in understanding or interpreting any part of the Code.

Any Employee who, in good faith, has reason to believe any operation or activity of Pioneer is in violation of the law or of the Code must call the matter to the attention of the Compliance Officer. See Schedule “B” for a non-exhaustive list of reportable violations.

If the Employee has reason to believe that it would be inappropriate to report the operation or activity to the Compliance Officer, the Employee should report it to the Assistant Compliance Officer. All reports will be reviewed and investigated and as necessary under the circumstances, and the reporting Employee should provide sufficient information to enable a complete investigation to be undertaken.

Pioneer Exploration Inc. Code of Ethics Page 2

Any Employee who makes an allegation in good faith reasonably believing that a person has violated the law or the Code will be protected against retaliation.

Violations of the law or the Code will subject Employees to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition, Employees involved may subject themselves and Pioneer to severe penalties, including fines and possible imprisonment. Compliance with the law and high ethical standards in the conduct of Pioneer’s business should be a top priority for each Employee.

Insider Trading, Securities Compliance and Public Statements

Securities laws prohibit anyone who is in possession of material, non-public information (“Insider Information”) about a company from purchasing or selling stock of that company, or communicating the information to others. Information is considered “material” if a reasonable investor would consider it to be important in making a decision to buy or sell that stock. Some examples include financial results and projections, new products, acquisitions, major new contracts or alliances prior to the time that they are publicly announced. Employees who become aware of such Inside Information about Pioneer must refrain from trading in the shares of Pioneer until the Inside Information is publicly announced.

Employees must also refrain from disclosing the insider Information to persons who do not have a need to know, whether they are inside Pioneer or outside, such as spouses, relatives or friends.

Pioneer makes regular formal disclosures of its financial performance and results of operations to the investment community. Pioneer also regularly issues press releases. Other than those public statements, which go through official channels, Employees are prohibited from communicating outside Pioneer about Pioneer’s business, financial performance or future prospects. Such communications include questions from securities analysts, reporters or other news media, but also include seemingly innocent discussions with family, friends, neighbors or acquaintances.

Financial Reporting

Pioneer is required to maintain a variety of records for purposes of reporting to the government. Pioneer requires all Employees to maintain full compliance with applicable laws and regulations requiring that its books of account and records be accurately maintained. Specifics of these requirements are available from the Compliance Officer.

Accuracy of Records

Pioneer’s accounting records and supporting documents must accurately describe and reflect the nature and result of Pioneer’s business operations. All activities and results of Pioneer’s business operations must be presented in a fair and balanced manner.

All business transactions must be properly authorized as well as completely and accurately recorded on Pioneer’s books. Procedures for doing so must comply with Pioneer’s financial policy and follow Pioneer’s policy for authorization and documentation, as well as follow generally accepted accounting practices. Budget proposals and other financial evaluations and forecasts must fairly represent all information relevant to the business transaction. In addition, no unrecorded cash funds or other asset accounts will be established or maintained for any purpose. Misapplication or improper use of corporate or property or

Pioneer Exploration Inc. Code of Ethics Page 3

false entry to records by any Employee or by others must be reported to Pioneer’s Board of Directors.

Record Keeping and Retention

To help maintain the integrity of Pioneer’s record-keeping and reporting systems, each Employee must know his or her area’s records retention procedures, including how data is stored and retrieved. It is that person’s responsibility to know how to document and transact any entries or records that he or she is responsible for. All Employees are expected to comply fully and accurately with all audits, including responding in a timely fashion to requests for records or other material from or on behalf of Pioneer’s auditors or management.

Communicating Accurate and Timely Information

In all interactions and communications, whether with shareholders, the public, clients, government agencies, or others inside or outside of Pioneer, each Employee is expected to be truthful and forthright. This includes making accurate statements, not misrepresentations or statements intended to mislead or misinform; and responding promptly, accurately, and with full disclosure to requests from governmental agencies for information or documents.

Confidentiality

Employees must respect the confidentiality of information received in the course of business dealings and must never use such information for personal gain. Information given by Employees in the course of business dealings must be true and fair and never designed to mislead.

Confidential information can only be revealed upon written authorization of management.

Employees must not use or disclose Pioneer’s trade secrets, proprietary, or confidential information, or any other confidential information gained in the performance of Pioneer as a means of making private profit, gain or benefit.

Employees must not use Internet bulletin boards or chat rooms to discuss matters or opinions related to Pioneer or any of its industries, or to respond to comments about Pioneer. In today’s electronic age, posting information on Internet bulletin boards or even communicating in chat rooms is the same as “speaking to the media”.

Health and Safety

Pioneer is committed to protecting the health and safety of its Employees. Pioneer expects employees to obey all laws and regulations designed to protect the health and safety of all employees, and to obtain and fully observe all permits necessary to do business. At the very least, all Employees should be familiar with and comply with safety regulations applicable to their work areas. Pioneer will make, to the extent possible, reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations of its Employees. Employees who require an accommodation should contact the Compliance Officer. Pioneer will then engage in an interactive process to determine what reasonable accommodations may exist.

Pioneer Exploration Inc. Code of Ethics Page 4

Declaration of Interest

Each Employee is expected to avoid any activity, investment or association that interferes with the independent exercise of his or her judgment in Pioneer’s best interests (“Conflicts of Interest”). Conflicts of Interest can arise in many situations and occur most often in cases where the Employee or the Employee’s family obtains some personal benefit at the expense of Pioneer’s best interests.

No Employee, or any member of Employee’s immediate family, is allowed to accept money, gifts of other than nominal value, unusual entertainment, loans, or any other preferential treatment from any customer or supplier of Pioneer where any obligation may be incurred or implied on the giver or the receiver or where the intent is to prejudice the recipient in favor of the provider. Likewise, no Employee is allowed to give money, gifts of other than nominal value, unusual entertainment or preferential treatment to any customer or supplier of Pioneer, or any employee or family members thereof, where any obligation might be incurred or implied, or where the intent is to prejudice the recipient in favor of Pioneer. No Employee is allowed to solicit or accept kickbacks, whether in the form of money, goods, services or otherwise, as a means of influencing or rewarding any decision or action taken by a foreign or domestic vendor, customer, business partner, government employee or other person whose position may affect Pioneer’s business.

No Employee will use Pioneer’s property, services, equipment or business for personal gain or benefit.

Each Employee is required to reveal any personal interest that may impinge or might reasonably be deemed by others to impinge on the Employee’s business dealings with any industry partners of Pioneer.

Employees may not: (1) act on behalf of, or own a substantial interest in, any company or firm that does business, or competes, with Pioneer; (2) conduct business on behalf of Pioneer with any company or firm in which the Employee or a family member has a substantial interest or affiliation. Exceptions require advance written approval from Pioneer’s Board of Directors.

Employees should not create the appearance that they are personally benefiting in any outside Pioneer as a result of their employment by Pioneer, or that Pioneer is benefiting by reason of their outside interests. Any Employee who is not sure whether a proposed action would present a conflict of interest or appear unethical should consult with the Compliance Officer.

Pioneer expects its Employees to avoid (1) personal activities and financial interests that could conflict with their responsibilities and obligations and (2) giving assistance to competitors, which could be in conflict with the interests of Pioneer or its clients. All Employees are required to seek the consent of Pioneer management if they intend to become partners or shareholders in companies outside Pioneer’s corporate structure.

Fair Competition

Pioneer’s policy is to comply fully with competition and antitrust laws throughout the world. Pioneer is committed to vigorous yet fair competition and supports the development of appropriate competition laws. Each Employee must avoid any business arrangement that might prevent the effective operation of fair competition. It is advised that each Employee

Pioneer Exploration Inc. Code of Ethics Page 5

consult with the Compliance Officer before attending a meeting with a party who may be viewed as a competitor.

International Trade

Pioneer must comply with a variety of laws around the world regarding its activities. In some cases, the law prohibits the disclosure of information, whether the disclosure occurs within the U.S. or elsewhere, and whether or not the disclosure is in writing.

U.S. law and the Code prohibits giving, offering, or promising anything of value to any public official in the U.S. or any foreign country to influence any official act, or to cause an official to commit or omit any act in violation of his or her lawful duty. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act precludes payments to non-U.S. government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, even if the payment is customary in that country. This law applies anywhere in the world to U.S. citizens, nationals, residents, businesses or employees of U.S. businesses. Because Pioneer is a U.S. company, this law applies to Pioneer and all of its subsidiaries. Any questions on this policy should be directed to the Compliance Officer.

Government Relations

Pioneer is prohibited by law from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any U.S. national election. This includes virtually any activity that furnishes something of value to an election campaign for a federal office. Use of Pioneer’s name in supporting any political position or ballot measure, or in seeking the assistance of any elected representative, requires the specific approval of the President of Pioneer. Political contributions or expenditures are not to be made out of Pioneer’s funds in any foreign country, even if permitted by local law, without the consent of the President of Pioneer.

Vendors, Contractors, Consultants and Temporary Workers

Vendors, contractors, consultants or temporary workers who are acting on Pioneer’s behalf, or are on Pioneer’s property, are expected to follow the law, the Code, and honor Pioneer’s values. Violations will subject the person or firm to sanctions up to and including loss of the contract, the contracting or consulting agreement, or the discharge from temporary assignment.

Compliance with the Code

It is the responsibility of Pioneer’s Board of Directors to ensure that the standards embodied in the Code are communicated to, understood and observed by all Employees. Pioneer’s Board of Directors will not criticize management for any loss of business resulting from adherence to the Code. Equally, Pioneer’s Board of Directors undertakes that no Employee will suffer as a consequence of bringing to their attention, or that of senior management, a breach or suspected breach of the Code.

The standards set out in the Code directly reflect Pioneer’s high ethical standards. Pioneer expects and requires each and every Employee, as a representative of Pioneer, to fulfill Pioneer’s ethical commitment in a way that is visible to the outside world with which Pioneer conducts its business operations.

Each Employee is responsible for complying with the standards set out in the Code and must ensure that their personal conduct is above reproach.

Pioneer Exploration Inc. Code of Ethics Page 6

Each Employee has an obligation to assure that the conduct of others around him or her complies with the Code.

All Employees have a legal, moral, and ethical duty to report to Pioneer’s Board of Directors and the appropriate authorities any known or suspected violations of law, regulations or corporate policy, including the Code.

Breaches of law, regulations and the standards of conduct listed above may lead to serious consequences for the Employee concerned.

Annual Acknowledgement

Each Employee will be required to sign a statement annually that he or she has read and understands Pioneer’s Code of Ethics. This statement will also require that the Employee state that he or she is in full compliance with the Code. The form of statement is attached as Schedule “C”.
