NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Notes thereto together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, and its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. In addition, some of the Company’s statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be considered forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chile Mining Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Chile Mining” ), and its subsidiary Minera Licancabur S.A. (“Minera”) (99.99% owned by the Company). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Organization

On May 12, 2010, the Company entered into and closed a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Minera, a Chilean company, and its shareholders, pursuant to which the Company acquired 99.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Minera in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, which constituted 83.33% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement and after giving effect to the Cancellation Agreement described below. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Minera is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is also one of the former shareholders of Minera, retained one share of Minera, constituting 0.1% of Minera’s issued and outstanding capital stock. The acquisition of Minera was structured to allow the CEO to retain one share of Minera in order to comply with Chilean legal requirements to have at least two record owners of its capital stock. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the CEO entered into a nominee agreement with the Company pursuant to which he agreed to act as the record holder of such share, but agreed that all other rights to the share, including the right to receive distributions on the share, vote the share and be the beneficial owner of the share, rest in the Company.

As a condition precedent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 12, 2010, the Company also entered into a cancellation agreement (the “Cancellation Agreement”) with Halter Financial Investments, LP (“HFI”) and Mr. Pierre Galoppi, the controlling stockholders, whereby HFI and Mr. Galoppi agreed to the cancellation of an aggregate of 3,600,500 shares of common stock owned by them.

Private Placement Transaction

On May 12, 2010, the Company also completed a private placement transaction with a group of accredited investors. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement that was entered into with the investors and Minera (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, and warrants (the “Closing Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of our common stock. The Closing Warrants have a term of four years, bear an exercise price of $3.61 per share (subject to customary adjustments), are exercisable on a net exercise or cashless basis and are exercisable by investors at any time after the closing date.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS-Cont’d

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to certain “make good” provisions. Under the “make good” provisions, the Company issued additional warrants (the “Make Good Warrants”) to the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of its common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which will only become exercisable if the company does not meet certain financial performance targets in 2011 and 2012. The “make good” provisions established minimum net income thresholds of $14,382,102 and $15,179,687 for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. If, in a given fiscal year, 90% of the applicable minimum net income threshold is not met, such aggregate number of Make Good Warrants will become exercisable equal to the amount by which the Company’s actual net income is less than the applicable financial target, divided by the financial target, and multiplied by 2,089,593. In connection with the private placement, the Company also entered into (i) a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to register the shares of common stock issued to investors, including the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, within a pre-defined period and (ii) a closing escrow agreement, with Halter Financial Securities, Inc., as placement agent, and Securities Transfer Corporation, as escrow agent, for deposit of funds by the investors.

The company also entered into lock-up agreements with each of our directors and officers, pursuant to which each of them agreed not to transfer any shares of capital stock held directly or indirectly by them for a one year period following the effective date of a registration statement covering the shares issued in connection with the private placement.

Convertible Promissory Note and Make Good Warrant

Halter Financial Group, L.P. (“HFG”) provided certain advisory services to the Company in connection with the acquisition of Minera and the private placement transaction described above. Pursuant to an advisory agreement that Minera entered into with HFG on April 16, 2009, HFG agreed to (a) advise Minera with regard to its desire to effect a combination transaction with a U.S. domiciled public shell corporation, (b) help Minera identify suitable investment bank(s) to act as placement agent for its contemplated private placement transactions and (c) counsel management on matters related to the operating a U.S. domiciled public company. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, HFG was entitled to receive a cash payment of $450,000 at the closing of the reverse acquisition of Minera. In lieu of such cash payment, HFG agreed to accept a cash payment of $260,000 and a promissory note issued by the Company in the principal amount of $190,000 that accrues simple annual interest at a rate of 3% (the “HFG Note”). The HFG Note is due and payable on the sooner of the closing of our next equity financing (including the receipt of additional funds by the Company from any subsequent closing of the May 12 private placement) or the 180th day following the date of its issuance. In addition, at any time that the HFG Note remains outstanding, it may be converted at HFG’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.78. At the closing, HFG was also issued a “Make Good” warrant, to purchase up to 985,104 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “HFG Make Good Warrant”). The terms of the HFG Make Good Warrant are identical to the terms of the Make Good Warrants issued to the investors in the private placement.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. This contemplates that assets will be realized and liabilities and commitments satisfied in the normal course of business.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $3,446,942 and has incurred a deficit of $9,773,231 for the cumulative period to September 30, 2011. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the production of copper. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offering of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION

On May 12, 2010, Chile Mining Technologies, Inc (The “Company”) completed an acquisition of Minera pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Minera is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

Total Long Term       $  1,752,701   $  1,607,983  

All long term liabilities are valued at fair market value at inception. These long term notes do not bear interest and had a maturity date of March 31, 2013. The Company recognized a discount on the face value of the loans at inception to adjust the carrying value to the fair value. Fair value was calculated by using the net present value of the loans, at an assumed interest rate of 18%. The amount of the discount, being $1,404,458 was recorded in “Additional paid in capital” on the opening balance sheet.

During the year ended March 31, 2011, the promissory note holders forgave $661,552 in debt. The transaction was accounted for as a capital transaction with related parties and the company credited ‘Additional paid in capital’ with $661,552.

In addition, the Company credited additional paid in capital with $13,835 (refer to Note 8 (c))

The discounts are being amortized over the lives of the promissory notes using the effective interest method, with interest expense being recorded as an expense in the related period. The Company recognized interest expense to amortize discounts on promissory notes to related parties for the six month period ended September 30, 2011 in the amount of $161,365 ($159,971 in 2010).

8(a) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10-15-83 Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as secured convertible debenture and warrant financing arrangements that are either (i) not afforded equity classification or (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts. As required by ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the financial statements.

The following table summarizes the components of the derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011::

May 2010 Private Placement:   September 30, 2011     March 31, 2011  
Investor warrants $  607,031   $  882,859  
Broker warrants   109,264     158,912  
Credit facility warrants   -     304,200  
Make Good warrants   2,973,181     3,072,048  
Acquisition advisory fees:            
Make Good warrants   1,401,657     1,448,266  
Total derivative liabilities $  5,091,133   $  5,866,285  

The following table summarizes the common shares indexed to the derivative instruments as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011:

May 2010 Private Placement:   September 30, 2011     March 31, 2011  
Investor warrants   1,044,803     1,044,803  
Broker warrants   188,062     188,062  
Credit facility warrants   -     360,000  
Make Good warrants   1,494,061     1,186,119  
Acquisition advisory fees:            
Make Good warrants   704,350     559,176  
    3,431,276     3,338,160  

Since the number of common shares indexed to the Make Good warrants is dependent on the number of warrants that will vest based on the achievement of certain performance conditions, the number of shares of common stock indexed to the warrants was determined using probability-weighted outcomes based on management’s best estimate of the probability of achievement of certain net income thresholds. The performance condition required for 2011 was a minimum net income threshold amount of $14,382,102. Make Good warrants indexed to 1,537,349 shares of common stock vested as of March 31, 2011 when the Company did not meet the 2011 performance condition. The Company continue to estimate the probability of achievement of 2012 performance conditions when estimating the total number of shares of common stock indexed to the Make Good warrants.

8(b) MAY 2010 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On May 12, 2010, the Company commenced a private placement of (i) 2,089,593 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, (ii) Closing Warrants to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of common stock, and (iii) Make Good Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of common stock (the “May 2010 Private Placement). In connection with the May 2010 Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement related to the common stock and warrants that requires the Company to, among other things, file a Registration Statement within 65 days from the closing of the May 2010 Private Placement and achieve effectiveness as soon as possible , but in no event later than the 180th day following the Final Closing Date or the 5th trading day following the date on which the Company is notified that the initial Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to review and comments. The Registration Rights Agreement does not provide for an alternative or contain a penalty in the event the Company is unable to fulfill its requirements. As a result of the registration rights obligation to file within a specified period, which is presumed not to be within the Company’s control, the Company is required to classify the common stock outside of stockholders’ equity as redeemable common stock.

The Closing warrants included in the May 2010 Private Placement are indexed to 1,044,803 shares of the Company’s common stock and may be exercised until the fourth anniversary of their issuance at an exercise price of $3.61 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue Make Good warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 2,089,593 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share which only become exercisable if the Company does not meet certain financial performance targets in 2011 and 2012. The “make good” provisions established minimum net income thresholds of $14,382,102 and $15,179,687 for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. If, in a given fiscal year 90% of the applicable minimum net income threshold is not met, such aggregate number of Make Good warrants will become exercisable equal to the amount by which our actual net income is less than the applicable financial target, divided by the financial target, and multiplied by 50% of the total warrant shares underlying the warrant agreement. The Closing and Make Good warrants were evaluated under the guidance of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity for purposes of their classification. Due to the Make Good warrants contingent exercise provisions, they did not meet the definition of “indexed to a Company’s own stock” and were required to be classified as liabilities and measured at inception and an ongoing basis at fair value. The Closing warrants met the definition of “indexed to a Company’s own stock”; however, they did not meet eight conditions for equity classification provided in ASC 815-40 because they have firm registration rights with no economic alternative to registration. The Company is required to assume that cash settlement would be the only alternative to non-filing and effectiveness under the standards. Accordingly, the Closing warrants required liability classification at inception and on an ongoing basis at fair value until the registration rights are fulfilled. In order to estimate the fair value of the warrants the Company was required to develop certain subjective assumptions which are listed in more detail below.

The total basis in the financing was allocated first to derivative instruments, required to be classified as liabilities with the remaining basis being allocated to the common stock.

The Company amortized deferred finance cost by $27,275 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Deferred finance costs outstanding as of September 30, 2011 is $ 153,957.

The direct financing costs are allocated to the financial instruments (redeemable common stock and warrants), based upon their relative fair values. Amounts related to the warrants are recorded as deferred finance costs and amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method while amounts related to the common stock directly offset the carrying value of the redeemable common stock.

8(c) CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND MAKE GOOD WARRANT

HFG provided certain advisory services to the Company in connection with the acquisition of Minera and the May 2010 Private Placement. Pursuant to an advisory agreement that Minera entered into with HFG on April 16, 2009, HFG agreed to (a) advise Minera with regard to its desire to effect a combination transaction with a U.S. domiciled public shell corporation, (b) help Minera identify suitable investment bank(s) to act as placement agent for its contemplated private placement transactions and (c) counsel management on matters related to the operating a U.S. domiciled public company. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, HFG was entitled to receive a cash payment of $450,000 at the closing of the reverse acquisition of Minera. In lieu of such cash payment, HFG agreed to accept a cash payment of $260,000 and the HFG Note in the principal amount of $190,000 that accrues simple annual interest at a rate of 3%. The HFG Note is due and payable on the sooner of the closing of the next equity financing (including the receipt of additional funds by the Company from any subsequent closing of the May 12 private placement) or the 180th day following the date of its issuance. In addition, at any time that the HFG Note remains outstanding, it may be converted at HFG’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.78.

8(c) CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND MAKE GOOD WARRANT-Cont’d

The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the HFG Note under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded conversion feature (“ECF”) is an equity-linked feature that is not clearly and closely related to the risks of the host debt instrument. However, current accounting standards afforded an exemption to bifurcation of the ECF because it is both indexed to the Company’s own stock and otherwise met the definition of Conventional Convertible based upon the fixed conversion price.

At the closing, the Company was also issued to HFG the HFG Make Good Warrant for the purchase up to 985,104 shares of common stock. The terms of the HFG Make Good Warrant are identical to the terms of the Make Good Warrants issued to the investors in the private placement and accordingly, they did not meet the definition of “indexed to a Company’s own stock” and were required to be classified as liabilities and measured at inception and an ongoing basis at fair value. The fair value of the Make Good Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique over the term to contractual expiration. In applying this technique we were required to develop certain subjective assumptions which are listed in more detail below.

The fair value of the HFG Note was estimated based upon the present value of its future cash flows, using credit risk adjusted rates, as enhanced by the fair value of the ECF. Since the Company does not have an established credit rating, the credit risk adjusted yield of 15.51% was determined by reference to comparable instruments in public markets and industry-specific risk. The fair value of the ECF was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”). MCS is an option-based model that embodies assumptions that would likely be considered by market participants who trade the financial instrument. In addition to more traditional assumptions, such as stock price, trading volatilities and risk-free rates, MCS assumptions include credit risk, interest risk and redemption considerations. Significant assumptions included in the MSC valuation technique were as follows:

    Assumption  
Linked common shares   68,345  
Stock price $  2.78  
Expected life (years)   4.00  
Volatility (based on peers)   58.24%- 63.55%  
Risk adjusted yield   15.51%- 16.94%  
Risk adjusted interest rate   1.52%- 1.65%  

The advisory fee expense was determined based upon the fair value of the HFG Note and the HFG Make Good Warrants. In accordance with APB 14, the premium on the HFG Note, representing the difference between the fair value and the face value of the note, was recorded to additional paid in capital..

The following table illustrates the initial allocation:

    Initial  
    Allocation  
Convertible Promissory Note $  190,000  
Make Good warrants   62,176  
Additional paid in capital   13,835

Fair value Disclosures:

ASC 820, Fair value Measurements and Disclosures, provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Financial instruments arising from the May 2010 Private Placement that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are (i) the investor warrants, (ii) the broker warrants, (iii) the credit facility warrants and (iii) Make Good warrants, respectively.

The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton technique, and the Company estimated (i) the expected term as equal to the remaining term on the warrant, (ii) the volatility, based upon a reasonable peer group, (iii) the risk free rate as the published rate for zero coupon government securities with terms consistent with the expected term.

Information and significant assumptions embodied in our warrant valuations (including ranges for certain assumptions) as of September 30, 2011 are illustrated in the following tables:

  Fair value Closing Make Good
  hierarchy Warrants warrants
Warrants to purchase common stock:      
 Stock price (1) (2) $2.00 $2.00
 Strike price n/a $3.61 $0.01
 Volatility (2) (2)    
   Range of volatilities   62.77% - 99.65% 62.77% - 99.65%
   Equivalent volatility   73.32% 73.32%

   Range of risk free rates   0.02% -0.42% 0.02% -0.42%
   Equivalent risk free rate   0.15% 0.15%
 Dividends n/a -- --

Fair value hierarchy:

(1)

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, or derived there from. We used our trading market price as of June 30, 2011 as input into the model which is a Level 1 input.

(2)

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. The Binomial Lattice model provides for multiple assumptions related to volatility and risk free rate over the remaining term of the warrants. The equivalents or averages of these assumptions are also provided above. We use the current published yields for zero-coupon US Treasury Securities for our risk free rate. We did not have a historical trading history sufficient to develop an internal volatility rate for use in the Binomial Lattice model. As a result, we have used a peer approach wherein the historical trading volatilities of certain companies with similar characteristics as ours and who had a sufficient trading history were used as an estimate of our volatility. In developing this model, no one company was weighted more heavily.

(3)

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Inputs for which any parts are Level 3 inputs are classified as Level 3 in their entirety. The remaining term used equals the remaining contractual term as our best estimate of the expected term. The probability-weighted outcomes of achieving the performance conditions are also a Level 3 input.

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high estimated volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair values of our derivative liabilities, which are reflected in income, during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

    Three months ended September 30,  
    2011     2010

 Make Good warrants   119,739     (105,796 )
Total derivative (expense) income $  341,675   $  10,672

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to maintain its daily operations. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company upon approval from its Board of Directors will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its daily operations. In order to procure materials and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the foregoing paragraph and the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

INVENTORY

The quantity of material in ore on the leach pad is based on surveyed volumes of mined material. Sampling and assaying determine the estimated amount of copper contained in material delivered to the leach pad. As at June 30, 2011 the amount of copper contained in material delivered to the leach pad is at a level of 1%.Expected copper recovery rates are determined using small-scale laboratory tests, historical trends and other known factors, including mineralogy of the ore and rock type. The ultimate recovery of copper contained in leach stockpiles can vary from a very low percentage to over 90 percent depending on several variables, including type of processing, metallurgical processes and mineralogy. As at September 30, 2011 the current ultimate recovery copper has been estimated at 80%.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to settle the financial assets and financial liabilities as at the reporting date. The book value of sundry assets and other receivables, deposits and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party approximate fair values at the balance sheet dates.

The fair value of the long-term debt has been estimated by discounting future cash flows at a rate offered for debt of similar maturities and credit quality.

All financial instruments except for derivative financial instruments and cash and cash equivalent are classified as level 3. Both cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments are classified as level 1.

Interest rate risk

The company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations is not significant.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of amounts receivable. The Company is not exposed to material losses on its accounts receivable and future revenues.

Commodity price risk

The ability of the Company to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals. The Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to commodity price risk.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the collection of amounts receivable and the ability to raise funds to meet purchase commitments and to sustain operations. The company controls its liquidity risk by managing working capital and cash flows.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk as substantially all of the Company’s cash is denominated in Chilean Pesos. This risk is partially mitigated by the fact that a significant portion of the costs associated with the mining claims and deferred exploration expenditures are incurred in Chilean Pesos.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward looking statements. Our financial statements are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Overview

We are a mineral extraction company based in the Republic of Chile, with copper as our principal “pay metal.” Our founders, Messrs. Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana and Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada, have refined the electrowin process in a way that permits the electrowin process to be used at a relatively small mine and/or tailings sites. Electrowinning is a process in which positive and negative electrodes are placed in an acidic solution containing copper ions, and an electric current passed through the solution causes the copper to be deposited on the negative electrodes so that it can be collected.

19


We have obtained rights to conduct our mineral extraction operations at 7 different sites, and are in negotiations to obtain rights to one additional site, in and around the Coquimbo region, which is located in north-central Chile, approximately 400 kilometers north of Santiago. While these sites each have their own mineral deposits, we will procure the majority (approximately 88%) of our source material from non-traditional sources, including tailings, ore, or a combination thereof, by purchasing rights to such source material at smaller sites, where it is not economical for larger open-pit mining companies to operate, due largely to the transportation costs associated with moving source materials to fixed processing sites.

By utilizing MINI plants, we are able to build scalable, less expensive plants closer to source material deposits, resulting in significant processing savings. In addition, since smaller sites generally require higher copper prices, due to transportation costs, to operate profitably, these deposits can currently be purchased at a discount. By utilizing this strategy, we are able to reduce costs and operate profitably with smaller deposits.

The initial design capacity of each MINI plant is between approximately 1,400 and 2,000 metric tons of annual copper cathode output. Each MINI plant can be expanded on a modular basis in increments of 1,500 metric tons. We believe that the installed cost for a new 1,500 metric ton MINI plant, with the ability to produce tailings, at the average location, is about $3,000,000, or $2,000 per metric ton of annual capacity. Expanding the capacity of an existing MINI plant will cost between $400 and $800 per metric ton, depending on the site. Once the available source material deposits at and around the site of an existing MINI plant have been depleted, we anticipate that we can recover up to 70% of the cost of constructing a new MINI plant by relocating the support structures and processing equipment from the original MINI plant.

By reducing unit costs and carefully managing the average source material grade, we estimate that the MINI plant technology will allow us to break even at copper prices as low as US$1.00 per pound, or US$2,205 per metric ton. As of December 5, 2011, copper was trading at $7,939 per metric ton on the LME. As the price of finished copper has increased, however, there has been increased interest in raw copper ore from a number of “higher cost” producers that can increase their production volumes by buying ore in the market from small miners. Historically, these producers would not have been interested in raw ore purchases, as they could not generate profits at lower finished copper prices. However the increase in finished copper prices has made third-party purchase attractive for a number of additional producers. While the additional producers entering the market for minerals has not had an affect on the cost of the ore, it has put the miners into a stronger negotiating position on the sales of their ore. As such, the market now demands that producers must purchase the ore by providing payment upon delivery of the ore, as opposed to the historical practice of providing payment following the sale of the finished copper. This shift in the market has affected our need for working capital substantially, in that we now require approximately $1 million per MINI plant to purchase enough ore to operate at full capacity.

Initially, we plan to sell our copper cathodes to Madeco, the largest cable producer in Chile. Based on our discussions with Madeco, we expect that the selling price will be at a 3% discount from the price for copper, adjusted for purity, on the LME. We expect that sales will be made under purchase orders where cash will be paid upon delivery. We anticipate that this arrangement will provide us with immediate cash flow with which we will use to fund our current operations. In the future, as business volume grows, we may elect to sell our copper cathodes at the generally higher prices prevailing on the LME.

Since our inception on January 2, 2008, we have focused our activities on acquiring mineral rights and sites on which to construct our MINI plants. Since starting construction in the fall of 2008, we have successfully completed our first scalable MINI plant, designated as the Ana Maria plant, located about 30 kilometers northeast of the town of Illapel, in the mining district of Matancilla. We have been testing the production of copper cathodes at the Ana Maria plant since late April 2009. In July 2009, we produced our first commercial run of copper cathodes.

We commenced operations at the Ana Maria plant in July 2009. The Ana Maria plant was taken off-line the first week of May 2010 in order to increase the capacity of this facility. As a result, the total capacity of the Ana Maria plant increased from 120 metric tons per month to 180 metric tons per month, effectively increasing its capacity by 50%. We resumed operations at the plant with the additional capacity in place at the beginning of August 2010. We believe that the site can be progressively expanded to about 5,000 metric tons per annum on a modular basis in increments of 500 to 1,000 metric tons, subject to the market price for copper and the grade and quantity of source materials available to be processed. In addition, we are also further enhancing our electrowin-based recovery techniques to reduce costs and improve the yield of the copper out of the mineral spectrum.

20


Our second plant, Santa Filomena, is approximately 75% complete as of the date of this report, and we have also begun preparatory work at one additional site we have under our control, in anticipation of the construction of additional MINI plants over the next 18 to 24 months.

The table below summarizes the capacity of each of our current and planned MINI plants.

Net Sales. We had net sales of $70,729 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with net sales of $64,684 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we ran the Ana Maria facility at lower capacities due to the increased price of minerals and a limited amount of working capital. Our original business plan anticipated that third party mineral would be consigned to us, and that we would be required to pay for the cost of the mineral after their copper had been produced and sold. As the price of finished copper has increased to over $4.00 per pound during the year, there has been increased interest in raw copper ore from a number of “higher cost” producers that can increase their production volumes by buying ore in the market from small miners. The result has had no artificial affect on the cost of the ore, but it has put the miners into a stronger negotiating position on the sales of their ore. As a result, the market now demands that any producer must purchase the ore by providing payment at the delivery of the ore. This has substantially increased the amount of working capital required to ramp the plants.

The Ana Maria plant also ran at a lower capacity for the 3 months ended September 30, 2010. The Ana Maria plant was taken off-line the first week of May 2010 in order to increase the capacity of this facility. As a result, the total capacity of the Ana Maria plant went from 120 MT/month to 180 MT/month, effectively increasing its capacity by 50%. We resumed operations at the plant with the additional capacity in place in August 2010 and began ramping operations at this time. As a result, the Company had revenues of $64,684 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes direct costs associated with the sale of our products. Cost of sales was $2,58,351 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with $132,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost of sales was mainly due to higher material, labor and other direct costs allocated with production and higher amortization on plant and equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the lower cost reflected for the same period in 2010 is due to the fact that we were in production for only part of the quarter.

22


Gross Profit (Loss). Gross profit (loss) is equal to the difference between our net sales and the cost of sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had a gross loss of $187,622, as compared with a gross loss of $67,632 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in gross loss was primarily due to the increase of cost of sales as discussed above.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist of impairment of mining rights, salaries and wages, general and administrative expenses and professional fees.

Impairment of Mining Rights. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had no impairment of mining rights, as compared with $1,280 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We have expensed mining rights, since we currently have no formal plans to exploit these mining rights.

Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages amounted to $34,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $88,563 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $53,813. As the price of ore remained high during the year, we encountered working capital challenges and were forced to limit its overhead costs. With limited production, we worked hard to minimize salaries and wages during the period.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of building maintenance and repairs, energy costs and general expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $361,368, as compared with $261,723 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased costs of being a publicly traded company and the required costs to support the Company’s sites and projects. Since the Ana Maria plant was taken off-line for a portion of the September 30, 2010 quarter, we incurred fewer general and administrative expenses at that time.

Professional Fees. Professional fees consist of legal fees, accounting fees and other fees associated with our private placement transaction and operations as a public company. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred no professional fees, as compared with $24,438 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was due to our limiting outside contractors for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 due to our limited working capital available.

Other Expenses

Other Expense – Interest. On May 12, 2010 (during fiscal year 2011), we commenced a private placement of common shares, warrants and make good warrants. The direct financing costs were allocated to the financial instruments (redeemable common stock and warrants), based upon their relative fair values. Amounts related to the warrants were recorded as deferred finance costs and amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method, while amounts related to the common stock directly offset the carrying value of the redeemable common stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we amortized deferred finance costs of $27,275, which resulted in no change from the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Other Income – Derivative Financial Instrument. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized other income for derivative financial instrument of $341,675, as compared to $10,672 for derivative financial instrument during the three months ended September 30, 2010. On May 12, 2010, (during fiscal year 2011), we commenced a private placement of common shares, warrants and make good warrants. We valued our derivative financial instruments on inception (May 12, 2010) at fair value for $2,510,093. Derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and were recorded as liabilities. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument was valued at $5,432,808 as of June 30, 2011. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments reduced to $5,091,133 as of September 30, 2011. The reduction in fair value resulted in the Company recognizing income for $341,675 in its Income statement.

Imputed Interest Expense. Imputed interest expense is related to unsecured, no interest promissory notes from related parties. These loans were valued at fair value at inception. We recognized a discount on the face value of the loans at inception to adjust the carrying value to the fair value. Discounts associated with these notes are being amortized over the lives of the promissory notes using the effective interest method, with interest expense being recorded as an expense in the related period. We recognized interest expense to amortize discounts on promissory notes to related parties for the three months ended September 30, 2011 in the amount of $80,518, as compared with $81,342 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

23


Net Loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, we generated a net loss of $349,858 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $541,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

The following tables set forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage increase/decrease over prior year numbers for the periods indicated in dollars. The financial data for the six months ended September 30, 2011 reflect the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2012, while the financial data for the same period in 2009 reflect the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2011.

Net Sales. The Company had revenues of $133,938 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared with $64,684 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we ran the Ana Maria facility at lower capacities due to the increased price of minerals and a limited amount of working capital. Our original business plan anticipated that third party mineral would be consigned to us, and that we would be required to pay for the cost of the mineral after their copper had been produced and sold. As the price of finished copper has increased to over $4.00 per pound during the year, there has been increased interest in raw copper ore from a number of “higher cost” producers that can increase their production volumes by buying ore in the market from small miners. The result has had no artificial affect on the cost of the ore, but it has put the miners into a stronger negotiating position on the sales of their ore. As a result, the market now demands that any producer must purchase the ore by providing payment at the delivery of the ore. This has substantially increased the amount of working capital required to ramp the plants.

In addition, the Ana Maria plant was taken off-line the first week of May 2010 in order to increase the capacity of this facility. As a result, the total capacity of the Ana Maria plant went from 120 MT/month to 180 MT/month, effectively increasing its capacity by 50%. We resumed operations at the plant with the additional capacity in place in August 2010 and as a result, the Company had limited revenues during the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes direct costs associated with the sale of the product. The Company incurred cost of sales of $599,593 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with $266,790 for the year ago same period ending September 30, 2010. The increase in cost of sales was mainly due to higher material, labor and other direct costs allocated with production and higher amortization on plant and equipment for the six months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the lower cost reflected for the same period in 2010 is due to the fact that we were in production for only part of this period.

Gross Profit (loss). Gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenue and the cost of revenue. Gross margin is equal to gross profit divided by revenue. In the six months ended September 30, 2011, gross loss was $465,655 as compared with $202,106 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in gross loss was primarily due to the increase in cost of sales discussed above.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses primarily consist of salaries and wages, general and administrative expenses and professional fees. As we continue to ramp up our extraction activities, we will begin to incur material operating costs

25


Impairment of Mining Rights. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, we had impairment of mining rights of $701, as compared with $6,920 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. We have expensed mining rights, since we currently have no formal plans to exploit these mining rights.

Salaries and Wages. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, salaries and wages were $75,434 as compared to $203,705 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. As the price of ore remained high during the year, we encountered working capital challenges and were forced to limit its overhead costs. With limited production, we worked hard to minimize salaries and wages during the period.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of building maintenance and repairs, energy costs and general expenses. We expect most components of our general and administrative expenses will increase as our business grows and as we incur increased costs as a public company. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were $680,027 as compared with $584,947 for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased costs of being a publicly traded company and the required costs to support the Company’s sites and projects. Since the Ana Maria plant was taken off-line for a portion of the six months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred fewer general and administrative expenses at that time.

Professional Fees. Professional fees consist of legal fees, accounting fees and other fees associated with our private placement transaction and operating as a public company. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, professional fees were $13,884, as compared to $527,329 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. This significant decrease is due to the fact that we incurred professional fees and expenses related to undertaking the private placement transaction and becoming a public company in May 2010.

Other Expenses

Other expense – interest. Interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $54,550, as compared to $27,275 for the six months ended September 30, 2010, which represents the amortization of deferred finance costs (refer to note 8(b) to the financial statements). The Company commenced the amortization of deferred financing costs from July 1, 2010.

Other income-Derivative Financial Instrument. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized other income for derivative financial instrument of $775,152, as compared to $10,672 for derivative financial instrument during the six months ended September 30, 2010. On May 12, 2010, (during fiscal year 2011), we commenced a private placement of common shares, warrants and make good warrants. We valued our derivative financial instruments on inception (May 12, 2010) at fair value for $2,510,093. Derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and were recorded as liabilities. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument was valued at $5,866,285 as of March 31, 2011. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments reduced to $5,091,133 as of September 30, 2011. The reduction in fair value resulted in the Company recognizing income for $775,152 in its Income statement for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

Imputed Interest Expense. Interest expense relating to initial recognition of long term non-interest bearing loans to related parties for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $161,365 as compared to $159,971 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. This relates to the valuation of promissory notes valued at fair market value at inception. These long term promissory loans do not bear interest and had a maturity date of March 31, 2013. The Company recognized a discount on the face value of the loans at inception to adjust the carrying value to the fair value. The discounts are being amortized over the lives of the promissory notes using the effective interest method, with interest expense being recorded as an expense in the related period

Net Loss. Net loss decreased to $676,464 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 from a net loss of $1,701,581 for the same period last year, mainly as a result of the reasons as stated above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2011 we had cash and cash equivalents of $352,799 and had a working capital deficit of $3,446,942. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,271,848 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $2,232,169 net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is mainly due to the Company’s smaller net loss for the period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $14,738, as compared to $1,713,956 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease is mainly the result of the Company conserving working capital and limiting its capital investment in the first six months ended September 30, 2011. The increased cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was the result of the acquisition of plant and property to continue construction of the second MINI plant facility at the Salamanca site and to develop the Navidad project.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,065,949, as compared to $5,568,481 for the six months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from common stock in 2011 as compared to 2010.

As discussed above, on May 12, 2010, we completed a private placement in which we issued and sold to certain accredited investors an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of our common stock. The warrants have a term of four years, bear an exercise price of $3.61 per share (subject to customary adjustments), are exercisable on a net exercise or cashless basis and are exercisable by investors at any time after the closing date. As a result of this private placement, we raised approximately $5.8 million in gross proceeds, which left us with approximately $5.3 million in net proceeds after the deduction of offering expenses.

Overall Liquidity and Capital Resources

In May 2010, we determined that potential long-term opportunities of increasing the capacity at the Ana Maria plant outweighed the short-term costs to us of taking the plant off-line. Accordingly, we shut down operations at the Ana Maria facility for a period of approximately three months and increased the facility’s capacity by 50%. As a result, we generated only $64,684 in net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2010, which affected our cash flows from operations.

27


As discussed above, through the course of our operations we have realized that MINI plants which process tailings will now require an additional module at a cost of $500,000 in order to more efficiently process the tailings. Accordingly, the total cost of construction per such MINI plant has increased from our initial estimates of $2,500,000 to approximately $3,000,000. In addition, due to the higher copper prices, there has been a significant increase in demand for raw copper ore. As a result, the market now demands that any producer must purchase the ore by providing payment at the delivery of the ore, and therefore, we now require approximately $500,000 per MINI plant to purchase enough ore to operate at full capacity.

Initially, we estimated that it would cost approximately $2,500,000 in working capital per plant to construct and operate the plant to capacity. However, as discussed above, we now require approximately $3,500,000 in working capital per MINI plant in order to construct and operate the plant to capacity.

In order to fully operate on our business plan, we will need an aggregate of approximately $2.2 million to operate at full capacity at our Ana Maria and Filomena plants. In addition, we will need approximately $1.3 million in order to fully capitalize on our opportunity at the site in Arica, as discussed elsewhere in this report. Accordingly, we will need to raise approximately $3.5 million.

If we are able to obtain sufficient funds, through a financing, bank loans or a combination thereof, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is as follows:

Ana Maria Plant: First, we will spend approximately $140,000 on equipment for upgrades and repairs at the existing plant. An additional $400,000 will be spent to purchase mining rights and $200,000 in working capital will be required to ramp production to capacity.

Filomena Plant: Once we have fully funded the Ana Maria plant as indicated above, we will spend approximately $200,000 in manufacturing equipment to complete construction of the plant and commence operations. In addition, we will spend approximately $887,000 over several years to purchase mining rights and $338,000 of working capital to allow the plant to operate at full capacity.

Arica: Once we have fully funded the Ana Maria and Filomena plants as indicated above, we intend to spend approximately $3.8 million on the Arica project. An initial $1.0 million will be spent on capital equipment for the open pit mining exploitation. In addition, $2.5 million will be spent on construction of a new MINI plant at the Arica site, and $300,000 will be used for working capital at the plant. We anticipate that construction of the Arica plant will be funded by a combination of a financing or bank loans, and cash flow from ongoing operations at our Ana Maria and Filomena MINI plants. We anticipate that we will begin construction on the Arica plant in September 2012, with the expectation that the facility will commence operations in March 2013.

Obligations under Material Contracts

On September 11, 2008, we issued a promissory note to Geominco in exchange for a loan of 200,000,000 Pesos (approximately $381,345). On June 17, 2010, Geominco forgave 186,308,540 Pesos of the indebtedness under this loan, pursuant to a Loan Cancellation Agreement. Therefore, as of March 31, 2011, 13,691,460 Pesos (approximately $26,106) of this loan, which does not bear interest and matures on March 31, 2013, remains outstanding.

On December 30, 2008, we issued a promissory note to Geominco in exchange for a loan of 100,000,000 Pesos (approximately $190,672). The promissory note does not bear interest and matures on March 31, 2010. The entire amount of the loan was outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and remains outstanding.

On July 31, 2009, we issued a promissory note to Geominco in exchange for a loan of 250,000,000 Pesos (approximately $476,681). The promissory note does not bear interest and matures on March 31, 2013. The entire amount of the loan was outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and remains outstanding.

28


On December 31, 2009, we issued a promissory note to Geominco in exchange for a loan of 554,200,000 Pesos (approximately $1,056,708). The promissory note does not bear interest and matures on March 31, 2013. The entire amount of the loan was outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and remains outstanding.

From time to time, Minera has borrowed funds from its shareholders, directors and officers. As of March 31, 2010, Minera had borrowed 200,000,000 Pesos (approximately $381,345) from Iván Orlando Vergara Huerta, a shareholder, and 231,000,000 Pesos (approximately $440,453) from Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada, a shareholder. On June 17, 2010, Mr. Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada forgave 126,420,030 Pesos (approximately $241,048) of the indebtedness under his loan and Mr. Iván Orlando Vergara Huerta forgave 34,229,250 Pesos (approximately $65,266) of the indebtedness under his loan, pursuant to separate Loan Cancellation Agreements. The outstanding face values of the loans, which do not bear interest and mature on March 31, 2013, remain outstanding.

Inflation

Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any 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 our stockholders.

Seasonality

The price of copper on the LME fluctuates during the year, with prices tending to be stronger in the April to September period, and weaker in the October to March period, subject to global supply and demand.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

  • Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions. We are 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. We assess the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. Impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. 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 proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

  • Foreign Currency Translation. We use the “Current rate method” to translate our financial statements from Chilean Pesos into U.S. Dollars. The assets and liabilities of the Company, except for the capital, are translated into U.S. Dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The capital is translated at the historical rate. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our balance sheets into U.S. Dollars are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated comprehensive income. The statement of operations is translated at average rates during the reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are reflected in the statement of operations for the reporting periods. The statement of cash flows is translated at average rates during the reporting period, with the exception of issue of share and payment of dividends which are translated at the historical rates. Due to the use of different rates for translation, the figures in the statement of changes in cash flows may not agree with the differences between the year end balances as shown in the balance sheets.

29


  • Machinery and Equipment. Machinery and equipment is recorded at cost and is stated net of accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The costs of improvements that extend the life of equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Machinery and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: Property, Plant and Equipment -10 years. Additions during the year are amortized on half year rule.

  • Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized at the time the sale price is fixed, the product’s title is transferred to the buyer and collectability of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured.

  • Comprehensive income. We have chosen to report comprehensive income in the statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency. Comprehensive income comprised net income and all changes to stockholders’ deficiency except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.

  • Assets Retirement Obligation. We disclose our financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. This standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, we will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at March 31, 2011, there are no assets retirement obligations.

  • Income Taxes. We recognize a liability or asset for deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax items mainly relate to net operating loss carry forwards and accrued expenses. These deferred tax assets or liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. As of March 31, 2011, we had reduced our deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance of approximately $885,838.

  • Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

  • Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a
    derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

30


  • Earnings (Loss) Per Share. We compute net loss of both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS, on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock 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. Because we do not have any potentially dilutive securities only basic loss per share is presented in the accompanying financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20), which amends FASB ASC 310, Receivables. This ASU requires disclosures related to financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment. The ASU also requires disclosures of information regarding the credit quality, aging, non accrual status and impairments by class of receivable. Trade accounts receivable with maturities of one year or less are excluded from the disclosure requirements. We do not have any financing receivables as of March 31, 2011.

On April 1, 2010, we adopted FASB ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 updates FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. There was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements related to the adoption of this guidance.

On April 1, 2010, we adopted updated guidance included in FASB ASC 860-10, Transfers and Servicing — Overall. This guidance requires additional disclosures about the transfer and de-recognition of financial assets and eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On April 1, 2010, we adopted updated guidance included in FASB ASC 810, Consolidation (ASC 810), related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. This guidance requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. In addition, this updated guidance amends the quantitative approach for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. ASC 810 amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and adds additional reconsideration events for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. Further, this guidance requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 clarifies the requirement to test for impairment of goodwill. ASC Topic 350 has required that goodwill be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2010-28, when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative an entity must assume that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and calculate the amount of that impairment. The modifications to ASC Topic 350 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2010-28 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2010-08 is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 4.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
   
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
   
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management (including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

31


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that management document and test the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and include in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q a report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, as of September 30, 2011, and was effective during the entire quarter ended September 30, 2011.
