Item 2.                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth below under the heading "Risk Factors".

Name, Incorporation and Principal Offices

We were incorporated as "Shimmer Gold, Inc." on September 7, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

On the date of our incorporation we appointed Tarik G. Elsaghir as our President, Secretary, Treasurer and a director. On March 9, 2007, Shawn Balaghi was appointed as our sole officer and director upon the resignation of Mr. Elsaghir, and Mr. Balaghi continues to serve as our President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director.

Our principal offices are located at 1709 Hampton Drive, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, V3E 3C9. Our telephone number is (604) 733-0242 and our facsimile number is (604) 288-7559.

Overview

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On June 19, 2007, we acquired a 100% undivided interest in certain placer claims, which are located on McLaren Creek in the Atlin Mining Division of British Columbia. These claims are in good standing until January 23, 2010. Exploration work with a minimum value of CDN$165 (or payment of a fee in life thereof) is required before January 23 of each year in order to maintain the claims in good standing for an additional year.

We have obtained a geological report on the property underlying our mineral claim interest that has recommended a two-phase exploration program with estimated costs of CDN$15,470 for phase one (approximately $12,554, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323) and CDN$100,855 for phase two (approximately $81,843, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323). Given the other expenditures that we expect to incur within the next twelve months, we will require additional funds to enable us to complete phase one of our recommended work program and cover our other anticipated costs. In addition, we will require additional financing in order to complete phase two our recommended work program and any further exploration of the property to determine whether sufficient mineralized material, if any, exists to justify eventual mining and production.

The property underlying our mineral claim interest does not contain any known mineral deposits or reserves of minerals. Accordingly, exploration of the property is required before any determination as to whether any commercially viable mineral deposit may exist. Our plan of operations is to carry out preliminary exploration work on the property in order to ascertain whether advanced exploration is warranted to determine whether the property possesses commercially exploitable mineral deposits. We will not be able to determine whether or not the property contains a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.

Exploration Stage Company

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

Our Acquisition of the Claims

On June 19, 2007, we entered into a Placer Claims Acquisition Agreement with Jenny Gruber, whereby we acquired a 100% undivided interest in certain placer claims, which are located on McLaren Creek in the Atlin Mining Division of British Columbia, for consideration consisting of $12,000 in cash and 6,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed issuance price of $0.05 per share.

Property Underlying our Claims

We obtained a geological report on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, dated February 2007, which was prepared by Larry W. Carlyle, P. Geo. Due to lack of road maintenance in the winter and snow cover in the area of the property, it was not possible for Mr. Carlyle to visit the property prior to the preparation of the report. As such, the report was prepared from literature research and Mr. Carlyle's familiarity with the area from previous placer exploration done by him near the Nolan Mine on Spruce Creek and on Otter and Pine Creeks.

The following description of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, its history and geology is based on the contents of Mr. Carlyle's report.

Property Description and Location

The property underlying our mineral claim interest is located on McLaren Creek, just above its confluence with the Gladys River in the Atlin Mining District of British Columbia. McLaren Creek is approximately 45 kilometres (36 miles) southeast of Atlin, British Columbia. The property underlying our mineral claim interest covers an area totalling approximately 82.3 hectares. Certain data with respect to our mineral interest claim are as follows:

Access, Climate, Physiography, Local Resources and Infrastructure

As indicated above, the property underlying our mineral claim interest is located on McLaren Creek just above its confluence with the Gladys River in the Atlin Mining District of British Columbia. McLaren Creek is approximately 45 kilometres (36 miles) southeast of Atlin, British Columbia. Atlin, British Columbia has year-round road access to Jakes Corner, Yukon Territory, on the Alaska Highway. Jakes Corner is approximately 50 miles (63 kilometres) south of Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. Whitehorse offers air and truck freight services to Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and other centers several times weekly. Most Atlin residents visit Whitehorse for shopping, medical, dental and other needs.

McLaren Creek rises in Skeleton Lake and flows approximately 8 kilometres (6.4 miles) eastward to become a left limit tributary of Gladys River. The gradient of McLaren Creek is relatively gentle at about 5 percent. Near the mid-point of the stream the gradient increases until it again flattens as it approaches the confluence with the Gladys River.

9


Due to the snow and snowfall in the area, surface exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest is restricted to the summer months and early fall. As a result, any attempts to test or explore the property are largely limited to the few months out of the year when weather permits such activities.

History and Prior Exploration

Kenneth McLaren and Fritz Miller, 2 gold prospectors from Juneau, Alaska, are credited with the discovery of gold in Atlin. Records indicate that they discovered placer gold at a depth of 1.7 meters in a pit dug on Pine Creek in March 1898 and that they staked discovery claims and recorded them in July of that year. News of the discovery traveled fast, and in a matter of days the rush to acquire ground on Pine Creek was underway. By late September 1898 it is estimated that some 3,000 people had settled in Atlin and that most of the local creeks had been tested and staked. Early records show that 1899 was a banner year with estimates of the local population varying from 10,000 to 25,000. By early 1901, large companies had consolidated many of the individual claims and worked the ground as either hydraulic or high volume steam shovel operations. Production on Pine Creek slumped significantly with the advent of the World War I and never fully recovered. By 1924, the town of Dis covery was essentially a ghost town. Since that time and up until the early 1990s, several small companies operated on Pine Creek, either processing old tailings or mining small sections of bench ground that was overlooked in the early days.

Placer mining in the area of the property underlying our mineral claim interest probably extended from near the first discovery of gold in the Atlin area until the 1950s. The owner of the property is said to have worked the claims for 20 years, paid all his bills with gold, and was buried on the creek in the 1950s.

Present Condition and Current State of Exploration

The property underlying our mineral claim interest presently does not have any know mineral deposits. There are no known ore bodies on the property. There are no known drill holes on the property.

Geology

Various portions of the Atlin area have been mapped through the years; however, Aitken's Map 1082A (1960) covers the entire area. His map shows an antiform in the Cache Creek Group rocks running in a northeast direction between Mount McMaster and Mount Smallpeice. Skeleton Lake, located approximately on the axis of this antiform, is the source for both McLaren Creek and Nancy Creek. Nancy Creek runs westerly into the O'Donnell River drainage while McLaren Creek runs easterly into the Gladys River drainage.

Two sources for the placer gold in the area have been postulated. The first source suggests that it is from quartz stringers and veins which existed in the Mississippian to Upper Triassic Cache Creek Group rocks which are the most common bedrock in the area. The second was that the gold formed during Cretaceous intrusions such as the Surprise Lake Batholith or the Jurassic Fourth of July Batholith. Mount McMaster, south of Nancy and McLaren Creeks, is formed from the Jurassic intrusive.

Previous writers who evaluated the Atlin area believed the placer gold came from quartz stringers and veins in the Cache Creek rocks. Much of the placer gold is of a large size and has a rough texture, meaning that it has not traveled far from its source bedrock. If the Cache Creek rocks were the gold source, it would have had to be eroded from the source rocks and be deposited almost directly below them. As such, Mr. Carlyle believe that this hypothesis seems unlikely.

Other writers who evaluated Feather Creek, which is located approximately 20 miles (25 kilometres) northwest of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, found that mineral matter attached to the gold grains is mainly tin oxide with one grain containing significant thorium. Dominant clast types within the Feather Creek placer gravels are: black chert, which constitutes at least half of the clasts; grey, tan or red chert; and wacke. Some samples contain significant proportions of quartz or granitoid clasts. Ultramafite or listwanite clasts were not identified in any sample. Based on these findings, such writers concluded that combined with the identification of cassiterite in six of six gold nuggets analyzed, an argument can be made for linkage with the evolved, tin-rich Surprise Lake, with significant implications for lode gold exploration in the region.

10


Glaciation is known to have occurred several times in the Atlin area; however, the timing and direction of movement have been uncertain. Due to this glaciation, most of the area mountains are rounded and generally have elevations of less than 1900 metres. Previous writers who have evaluated the area have postulated that the centre of this ice mass was located in the region currently occupied by the Llewellyn glacier. This ice sheet expanded with lobes from it moving north and eastwards into the Atlin area. This movement of ice toward the north-northwest is similar to the movement of the glacial episodes recognized in the Teslin, Yukon area approximately 100 kilometres (62 miles) to the northeast. The Teslin area has undergone three major continental episodes of glaciation: pre-Reid, Reid, and McConnell. Some researchers believe pre-Reid glaciation consisted of at least four glacial episodes extending ending approximately 200,000 years ago. Reid glaciation is thought to have occurre d between 220,000 and 140,000 years ago. McConnell glaciation occurred approximately 20,000 years ago.

Previous writers who have evaluated the area report seeing auriferous red-yellow gravels exposed in the banks of McLaren Creek during work there in 1982, which suggests that they were formed during the long erosional period after the Reid glaciation and before McConnell glaciation.

Mineralization

There are no known ore bodies on the property. However, previous writers who have evaluated the area found that that placer gold is present in gravels having a well defined red or yellow color often referred to as "Tertiary" gravels, which indicate the presence of gold; tungsten, tin and platinum group minerals. Such writers have also indicated that in the lower section of McLaren Creek, Tertiary auriferous gravels outcrop in the river banks, and that panning together with historical evidence indicate that these deposits are gold rich as are similar Tertiary deposits in the Atlin area.

Our Planned Exploration Program

Based on prior reports regarding the Atlin area and his familiarity with the area, Mr. Carlyle has recommended a two-phased exploration program, as described below:

Phase 1

A program of prospecting, hand dug test pits and test mining, and a preliminary magnetometer survey is recommended. A preliminary ground magnetometer survey to follow-up on any outcrops located may increase the known extent of the auriferous gravels and improve the potential for establishing a placer operation on the site.

Phase 2

1.          Once the auriferous gravels have been located and the amount of gold they hold has been confirmed, a mechanized test mining program can be established. During this phase, approximately one metre (3.3 ft.) of fractured bedrock below the auriferous gravels should be excavated to ensure recovery of gold which has worked its way into the bedrock.

2.         A preliminary ground magnetometer was recommended as part of Phase 1 because the 1982 electrical resistivity survey done by prior evaluators of the area is relatively old technology. The strong association of magnetite with the gold in the auriferous channel gravels of the Atlin area and the relatively shallow overburden should make the use of modern magnetometer instruments very efficient. Magnetometer surveying should delineate auriferous gravels prior to mining.

11


Seismic surveying would clearly define the irregularities in the McLaren Creek bedrock discovered by the electrical resistivity survey, and would clearly define the old stream channel at bedrock. Seismic surveying is one of the most expensive exploration techniques because of the expensive equipment and highly trained personnel required. At well over CDN$10,000 (approximately $8,115, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323) for a small program at McLaren Creek, it should be considered as an alternative technique if magnetometer surveying is unsuccessful.

3.          The auriferous gravels in the Atlin area contain a considerable amount of clay, which must be removed to improve gold recovery. Incorporating a trommel as part of the processing plant would achieve improved recovery.

Western Canada is experiencing a shortage of trained personnel and suitable heavy equipment for mining purposes. This has resulted in a large increase in personnel wages and equipment rental costs. With the long history of placer mining in Atlin, it is expected that most of the equipment and personnel needed for the tests can be found locally. Whitehorse would be able to supply whatever shortages may occur.

In Phase 2, the personnel are listed for ten days of employment for a seven day testing program because it is expected that mobilization, set up, and demobilization will require approximately three days.

Miscellaneous equipment and tools would include items like welding equipment, tanks, barrels, cables, chains, shovels, axes, hammers, wrenches and drills.

A contingency factor of 15% has been chosen to provide more flexibility in dealing with variations in personnel, equipment and petroleum product costs. The Federal Goods and Service Tax and the B.C. Provincial Sales Tax would form part of the contingency factor.

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 the Province of British Columbia. The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, is the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines manages the development of British Columbia's mineral resources, and implements policies and programs respecting their development while protecting the environment. In addition, the Ministry regulates and inspects the exploration and mineral production industries in British Columbia to protect workers, the public and the environment.

The material legislation applicable to us is the Mineral Tenure Act R.S.B.C. 1996 Chapter 292, as amended, and administered by the Mineral Titles Branch of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, and the Mines Act, RSBC 1996 Chapter 293, as amended, as well as the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code, 2003, as amended .

The Mineral Tenure Act and its regulations govern the procedures involved in the location, recording and maintenance of mineral titles in British Columbia. The Mineral Tenure Act also governs the issuance of leases which are long term entitlements to minerals, designed as production tenures. The Mineral Tenure Act does not apply to minerals held by crown grant or by freehold tenure.

All mineral exploration activities carried out on the property underlying our mineral claim interest must be in compliance with the Mines Act. The Mines Act applies to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. It outlines the powers of the Chief Inspector of Mines, to inspect mines, the procedures for obtaining permits to commence work in, on or about a mine and other procedures to be observed at a mine. Additionally, the provisions of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia contain standards for employment, occupational health and safety, accident investigation, work place conditions, protective equipment, training programs, and site supervision.

Additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. If the exploration activities require the falling of timber, then either a free use permit or a license to cut must be issued by the Ministry of Forests. Items such as waste approvals may be required from the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks if the proposed exploration activities are significantly large enough to warrant them. Waste approvals refer to the disposal of rock materials removed from the earth which must be reclaimed. An environmental impact statement may be required.

13


British Columbia law requires that a holder of title to the claims must spend at least CDN$2 per hectare per year in order to keep the property in good standing. Thus, the annual cost of compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act with respect of the claims is presently approximately CDN$165 per year (approximately $134, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323). The claims are in good standing with the Province of British Columbia until January 23, 2010, therefore exploration work with a minimum value of CDN$165 for the property is required before January 23, 2010. If we do not complete this minimum amount of exploration work by this time, we will (on behalf of the claim owner) be required to pay a fee in lieu of exploration work in the amount of CDN$165 to the Province of British Columbia.

We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings , our competitive position or on us in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.

Prior to undertaking mineral exploration activities, we must make application under the Mines Act for a permit, if we anticipate disturbing land. A permit is issued within 45 days of a complete and satisfactory application. We do not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining a permit, if needed. The initial exploration activities on the property underlying our mineral claim interest are not expected to involve ground disturbance and as a result do not require a work permit. Any follow-up trenching and/or drilling will require permits, applications for which will be submitted well in advance of the planned work.

If we enter the production phase, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. Examples of regulatory requirements include:

  • water discharge will have to meet drinking 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 with natural vegetation;
  • 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 including a study of potentially endangered species.

Competition

We are a junior mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our mineral properties.

14


We will also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.

We will also be compete with other junior and senior mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, helicopter or float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.

Employees

As of the date of this annual report we have no significant employees other than our officers and directors. We intend to retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on the property underlying our mineral claim interest in order to carry out our plan of operations.

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 patent or trademark.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to complete the following objectives within the time periods specified:

    1. We plan to complete phase one of our recommended exploration program on the property underlying our mineral claim interest, consisting of helicopter-supported prospecting, hand test pits and test mining, and preliminary magnetometer surveys, at an estimated cost of CDN$15,470 (approximately $12,554, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323). We expect to commence our exploration program in the summer of 2009, depending on weather conditions and the availability of personnel, equipment and adequate funding.
    2. We anticipate spending approximately $2,500 per month in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $30,000 over the next twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.

15


Thus, we estimate that our expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $42,554 (CDN$15,470 (approximately $12,554, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323) to complete phase one of our recommended exploration program, and $30,000 to cover ongoing general and administrative expenses. As at November 30, 2008, we had cash of $1,844 and a working capital deficit of $21,784. As such, we do not have sufficient cash or working capital to enable us to complete phase one of our recommended exploration program and to pay for our general and administrative expenses for approximately the next twelve months.

Financial Condition

During the twelve-month period following the date of this annual report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund any additional and more advanced exploration programs beyond our initial aforementioned exploration program. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund any continuation of our exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claim interest.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to develop the property underlying our mineral claim interest. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest to the joint venture participant.

Revenues

We had no operating revenues since our inception (September 7, 2006) to November 30, 2008. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage company.

Expenses

Our expenses in the three months ended November 30, 2008 increased to $30,461 from $1,085 in the three months ended November 30, 2007, primarily as a result of increased professional fees (legal and auditing expenses) incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our initial registration statement with the SEC. Our expenses during these periods consisted of the following:

  • Management Services: Our management services costs were $3,000 during the three months ended November 30, 2008 as compared to $nil during the three months ended November 30, 2007.
  • Mineral Property Costs: In the three months ended November 30, 2008, we incurred mineral property costs of $6,978, compared to mineral property costs of $nil during the three months ended November 30, 2007. We expense our mineral property costs as they are incurred.
  • Professional Fees: In the three months ended November 30, 2008, we incurred professional fees of $18,806, compared to professional fees of $1,000 during the three months ended November 30, 2007, primarily as a result of legal and auditing fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our initial registration statement with the SEC.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2008 was $30,461, compared to $1,085 for the three months ended November 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash of $1,844 and a working capital deficit of $21,784 at November 30, 2008.

We estimate that our total expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $42,554, as outlined above under the heading "Plan of Operations".

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $9,586 during the three months ended November 30, 2008, as compared to $1,085 during the three months ended November 30, 2007. Net cash used in operating activities from our inception on September 7, 2006 to November 30, 2008 was $82,156.

Cash from Financing Activities

We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. From our inception on September 7, 2006 to November 30, 2008, we raised a total of approximately $84,000 from private offerings of our securities. During the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, no net cash was provided by financing activities from sale of our securities.

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 continue our exploration of the prospect lease and our venture will fail.

17


Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2008 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned exploration activities.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and are presented in US dollars.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relates to the fair value assigned to shares and donated services.

Mineral Property Cost

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows, have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available for budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization is not met.

18


Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only acquisition and exploration costs which have been expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.

Foreign Currency Translation

In accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Financial Instruments

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying values of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. As at November 30, 2008 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards. However, due to the uncertainty of realization the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets resulting from these loss carry forwards.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and, second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified balance sheet as well as on de-recognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 was adopted by the Company on September 1, 2007.

Other Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. For the years ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, there are no items that cause comprehensive loss to be different from net loss.

Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

19


Stock-based Compensation

The Company has adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payments", from inception date. To date the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how SFAS 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning aft er issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement will have no effect on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effec t on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations". This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

20


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities -an Amendment of ARB No. 51". This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Item 3.                Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4T.              Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports required to be filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, as evidenced by the fact that this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was not filed within the time period specified by Form 10-Q.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarterly period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                Legal Proceedings

We currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

Item 1A.              Risk Factors

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this quarterly report in evaluating our Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below may not be all of the risks facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Company

Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we have no history of earnings and no foreseeable earnings, and we may never achieve profitability or pay dividends.

We were incorporated on September 7, 2006, and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities, evaluating resource projects and acquiring our interest in certain mineral claims in British Columbia, Canada. Therefore, our ability to operate our business successfully remains untested. If we are successful in developing the property underlying our mineral claim interest, we anticipate that we will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the future operation and development of our business as appropriate. We do not currently anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends is solely at the discretion of our board of directors, which will take into account many factors including our operating results, financial conditions and anticipated cash needs. For these reasons, we may never achieve profitability or pay dividends.

21


We have yet to attain profitable operations, and because we may need additional financing to fund our exploration activities, our accountants believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred a net loss of $126,084 for the period from September 7, 2006 (incorporation) to November 30, 2008, and we have no revenues to date. At November 30, 2008, we had cash of $1,844 and a working capital deficit of $21,784, which will not be sufficient to maintain our administrative costs, to complete phase one our recommended exploration program recommended by our consulting geologist, and to meet our planned business objectives during the next twelve months. In addition, we will require additional financing to complete phase two of our recommended work program and to do any further exploration work on the property underlying our mineral claim interest. There can be no assurances that we will continue to obtain additional financial resources or achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain adequate additional financing, we will be required to curtail operations and exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements included with this annual report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our auditors have made reference to the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the period from incorporation to August 31, 2008. If we are not able to achieve revenues, then we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our financial condition and business prospects will be adversely affected.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

We are in the initial stages of exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of valuable minerals on the property. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on the property underlying our mineral claim interest. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us on our exploration program may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploratio n of the property underlying our mineral claim interest that we plan to undertake. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations, the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour, and other risks involved in mineral exploration, often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan. In addition, any determination that the property underlying our mineral claim interest contains commercially recoverable quantities of ore may not be reached until such time that final comprehensive feasibility studies have been concluded that establish that a potential mine is likely to be economically viable. There is a substantial risk that any preliminary or final feasibility studies carried out by us will not result in a positive determination that the property can be commercially developed.

We will require significant additional financing in order to continue our exploration activities and our assessment of the commercial viability of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. Even if we discover commercial reserves on the property, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully advance the property into commercial production.

22


The property underlying our mineral claim interest does not contain any known bodies of ore. Our business plan calls for significant expenditures in connection with the exploration of the property. We will require additional funds in order to complete phase one of the proposed exploration program on the property and cover our other anticipated costs over the next twelve months. We will require further financing in order to complete phase two of this recommended work program, to pursue any further exploration and to conduct the economic evaluation that would be necessary for us to assess whether sufficient mineral reserves exist to justify commercial exploitation of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. We currently are in the exploration stage and have no revenue from operations. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for additional financing, and we may not be able to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtai n additional financing, we will not be able to continue our exploration activities and our assessment of the commercial viability of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. Further, if we are able to establish that development of the property is commercially viable, our inability to raise additional financing at that stage would result in our inability to place the property into production and recover our investment.

Our exploration activities may not be commercially successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to develop the property underlying our mineral claim interest and our investments in exploration.

Our long-term success depends on our ability to establish commercially recoverable quantities of ore on the property underlying our mineral claim interest. Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently non-productive. Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We may inve st significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon such investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral reserves. The decision to abandon a project may reduce the trading price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise future financing. We cannot provide any assurance to investors that we will discover or acquire any mineralized material in sufficient quantities on the property underlying our mineral claim interest to justify commercial operations. Further, we will not be able to recover the funds that we spend on exploration if we are not able to establish commercially recoverable quantities of ore on the property.

Because access to the property underlying our mineral claim interest is often restricted by inclement weather, we will be delayed in our exploration and any future mining efforts.

Due to the snow and snowfall in the area, surface exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest is restricted to the summer months and early fall. As a result, any attempts to test or explore the property are largely limited to the few months out of the year when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as mining and production in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found. This may cause our business venture to fail and the loss of your entire investment in our common stock.

As we undertake exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and cost of our exploration program.

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration of minerals. We will be subject to the mining laws and regulations of British Columbia as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our time and costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.

If there is a defect with respect to title of our mineral claim interest, our business may fail.

We own an interest in certain placer claims in British Columbia, Canada. Although we believe that we have taken all appropriate steps to determine that we have title to interest in these claims, there is no guarantee that there are no defects with respect to title of the mineral claims. The property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects. If we do not have clear title to our mineral claim interest, our business may fail and you may lose your entire investment in our common stock.

If we are unable to maintain our mineral claim interest, then our business will fail.

We own an interest in certain placer claims in the British Columbia, Canada. British Columbia's Mineral Tenure Act requires that a holder of title to mineral claims must spend at least CDN$2 per hectare per year (in the form of expenditures or payment of a fee in lieu thereof) in order to keep claims in good standing. Our mineral claim interest covers an area of approximately 82.3 hectares. Thus, the annual cost of compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act with respect to our mineral claim interest is currently approximately CDN$165 per year (approximately $134, based on the foreign exchange rate on March 23, 2009 of $1.00:CDN$1.2323). The placer claims that are the subject of our mineral claim interest are in good standing with the Province of British Columbia until January 23, 2010. As such, exploration work with a minimum value of CDN$165 (or payment of a fee in life thereof) is required before January 23 of each year in order to maintain the claims in good standing for an add itional year. If we fail to meet these requirements on a timely basis, the placer claims subject to our mineral claim interest will lapse. Accordingly, you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

We are subject to risks inherent in the mining industry, and at present we do not have any insurance against such risks. Any losses we may incur that are associated with such risks may cause us to incur substantial costs which will have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.

Any mining operations that we may undertake in the future will be subject to risks normally encountered in the mining business. Mining for valuable minerals is generally subject to a number of risks and hazards, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, pressures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, blizzards and earthquakes. At the present we do not intend to obtain insurance coverage and even if we were to do so, we can provide no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available or that it will be available at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial performance and results of operations. Such costs could potentially exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets, resulting in the loss of your entire investment in our common stock.

If we do not find a joint venture participant for the continued exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest, we may not be able to advance the exploration work.

If the initial results of our mineral exploration program are successful, we may try to enter into a joint venture agreement with a third party for the further exploration and possible production of the property underlying our mineral claim interest. We would face competition from other junior mineral resource exploration companies if we attempt to enter into a joint venture agreement with a third party. A prospective joint venture participant could have a limited ability to enter into joint venture agreements with junior exploration companies, and will seek the junior exploration companies who have the properties that it deems to be the most attractive in terms of potential return and investment cost. In addition, if we entered into a joint venture agreement, we would likely assign a percentage of our interest to the joint venture participant. If we are unable to enter into a joint venture agreement with a third party, we may fail and you will lose your entire investment in our common stock.

24


We rely on key members of management, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on our success and development.

Our success depends to a certain degree upon our management team. At the present time, we have four directors, one of whom also serves as our President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management could have a material adverse effect on us.

Because our executive officer has other business interests, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operation, causing our business to fail.

Shawn Balaghi, our President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is currently spending only approximately 10% of his business time on providing management services to us. While we believe that he currently possesses adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on Mr. Balaghi from his other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. This could negatively impact our business development.

Because our executive officer and our directors have limited experience in the mining industry, we may be dependent on advice from third parties in order to effectively manage our business.

Our executive officer and our directors have only limited experience in the mining industry. As such, we may be dependent on advice from third parties in order to effectively manage our business. We intend to retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on the property underlying our mineral claim interest in order to carry out our plan of operations.

Because of the fiercely competitive nature of the mining industry, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on acceptable terms, which will materially affect our financial condition.

The mining industry is competitive in all of its phases. We face strong competition from other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of properties producing, or capable of producing, precious and base metals. Many of these companies have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms we consider acceptable or at all. Consequently, our revenues, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

There is no active trading market for our common stock, and if a market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.

There is currently no active trading market for our common stock, and such a market may not develop or be sustained. We currently plan to have our common stock quoted on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's ("FINRA") OTC Bulletin Board. In order to do this, a market maker has filed a Form 15c-211 to allow the market maker to make a market in our shares of common stock. However, we cannot provide our investors with any assurance that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if it is, that a public market will materialize. Further, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of exploration stage companies, which may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

25


Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling stockholders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect the ability of our stockholders to realize any current trading price of our common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock, when and if such market develops. We filed a registration statement which went effective October 2, 2008, under which the selling stockholders named therein may be reselling up to approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (and, if the share purchase warrants are exercised with respect to the 4,000,000 shares underlying such share purchase warrants registered, then the selling stockholders may be reselling up to approximately 67% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock). As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock which have been issued will be available for immediate resale when and if a market develops for our common stock, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling stockholders sell the shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations and FINRA's sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our common stock will be subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC, which will make transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

We currently plan to have our common stock quoted on FINRA's OTC Bulletin Board, which is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ or the national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in conducting trades and difficulty in obtaining future financing. Further, our securities will be subject to the "penny stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The penny stock rules apply generally to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain limited exemptions. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to tra de "penny stock" because of the requirements of the "penny stock rules" and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the "penny stock rules" for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the "penny stock rules", investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
