PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2006.  We were formed as an exploration stage company to be engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves.  We conducted preliminary exploration activities on the MRP Claims (lode mining claims), in Esmeralda County, Nevada.  We returned these claims in June 2009.


As of the date of this filing, we have taken the following steps in the execution of our original business plan:  In July 2006, we executed a Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Gold Explorations LLC, an unrelated third party that holds title to the property.  Under the terms of the Agreement, we had the right to explore for gold on 400 acres.  The property is comprised of 20 lode mining claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada (the “Properties”).  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we were obligated to pay $53,000 for the Claims over a five year period. On June 25, 2009, we cancelled our agreement and returned responsibility of the claims back to Gold Explorations LLC.  To date, we have paid a total of $51,265 in mineral exploration costs, consisting of $26,075 in property and maintenance fees, and $25,190 towards an exploration work program. The work program consisted of geological mapping and trenching on the Properties and was completed in April 2007.  We did not discover any economic quantities of minerals through our trenching program and we do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the Properties.


On September 25, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises, Ltd., (“Beeston”) under which Beeston granted the Company an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims, located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada (the “Claims”), which Claims total in excess of 3,900 hectares, in consideration of the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to Beeston within six months of the date of signing of the Option Agreement. The Claims are subject to a two percent net smelter royalty which can be paid out for the sum of $1,000,000 (CAD). The Company can earn an undivided 50% interest in the Claims by carrying out a $50,000 (CDN) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before September 25, 2010, plus an additional $200,000 (CDN) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before September 25, 2011. In the event that the Company acquires an interest in the Claims, the Company and Beeston have further agreed, at the request of either party, to negotiate a joint venture agreement for the further exploration and development of the Claims.



4





On March 24, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston, amending the Option Agreement, under which Beeston granted the Company an extension of the time within which to issue the 1,000,000 shares of Mariposa to Beeston from six months to nine months in consideration of Mariposa agreeing to increase the required expenditures for exploration and development of the Claims by $50,000(CDN). The Company entered into a another agreement with Beeston on June 24, 2010, under which Beeston granted Mariposa a further extension for the payment of shares of its common stock and for the completion of its initial $50,000(CDN) exploration and development program as required under the option agreement with Beeston until December 31, 2010, in consideration for an increase in the number of shares of Mariposa payable thereunder from 1,000,000 shares to 1,500,000 shares.  


We recently decided to redirect our business focus towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction.  We are currently looking for ventures of merit for corporate participation as a means of enhancing stockholder value.  This may involve sales of our equity or debt securities in merger or acquisition transactions.


Charter Amendment to Increase Authorized Capital


On April 8, 2009, our stockholders and our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved resolutions to amend our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) which Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 8, 2009, to effect an increase in the number of our authorized capital shares to 600,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. We may issue the shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more classes or series, each of which class or series shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be fixed by the Board or any committee thereof established by resolution of the Board pursuant to our Bylaws prior to the issuance of any shares thereof; each such class or series of Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such class or series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof, all in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.


The Amendment was approved by the holders of 63.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting capital stock.


Forward Stock Split


By written consent dated April 8, 2009, our Board approved a 10-for-one (10:1) forward split of our Common Stock (the “Forward Split”). The Forward Split was effective as of the close of business on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 and following FINRA approval, the market effective date for the Forward Split was May 6, 2009. As a result of the Forward Split, every 1 old share of our Common Stock was converted into 10 new shares of our Common Stock.  FINRA issued a new symbol, “MPOA,” under which our Common Stock currently trades.


Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts


We presently utilize no patents, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements, or labor contracts in connection with our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception.  We have minimal assets and have achieved no operating revenues since our inception.  We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations.  Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations.


Plan of Operation


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2006.  We were formed to engage in the search for mineral deposits or reserves.  We conducted preliminary exploration activities on certain properties in Esmeralda County, Nevada on which we held certain mining claims.  On September 25, 2009, amended June 24, 2010, we were granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada, representing 3,900 hectares.


We recently decided to refocus our business strategy towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. We intend to explore various business opportunities that have the potential to generate positive revenue, profits and cash flow in order to financially accommodate the costs of being a publicly held company.


We have minimal operating costs and expenses at the present time due to our limited business activities. However, because of our limited cash in the bank, we will be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our ongoing expenses, including our costs related to the remaining required payments under the Purchase Agreement, as entered into on September 25, 2009.


Further, we may raise capital in connection with or in anticipation of possible acquisition transactions. We do not currently engage in any product research and development and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We have no present plans to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We also have no present plans to add employees, although we may do so in the future if we engage in any merger or acquisition transactions.

Mariposa Resources, Ltd.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Audited Financial Statements

June 30, 2010 and 2009

 

 



1.

Organization


Mariposa Resources, Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 31, 2006 in the State of Nevada, U.S.A.  It is based in Miami, Florida, USA.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.


The Company is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties.  Prior to June 25, 2009, the Company had the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A. On July 31, 2009, the Company acquired an option to enter into a joint venture for the management and ownership of the Jack Creek Project, a mining project located in Elko County, Nevada. On September 25, 2009, the joint venture was terminated and the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada (see Note 5).  To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, the raising of equity capital and its mining exploration work program.  


Exploration Stage Company


The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage as defined in FASC 915-10-05 “Development Stage Entity,” and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7.  The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to development of business plans and the acquisition of mineral properties.



2.

Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.  The Company had $441 and $132 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


Start-Up Costs


In accordance with FASC 720-15-20 “Start-up Activities,” the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs


The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 31, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and 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. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness.  At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.  The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.


Net Income or (Loss) per Share of Common Stock


The Company has adopted FASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.


The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.


Foreign Currency Translations


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar.  All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.


No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded from inception (May 31, 2006) to June 30, 2010.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)


FASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  From inception (May 31, 2006) to June 30, 2010, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income.  Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (May 31, 2006) to June 30, 2010.


Risks and Uncertainties


The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.


Environmental Expenditures


The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs.  Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable.  The Company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.


Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits.  All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability.  Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Recent accounting pronouncements that are listed below did not, and are not currently expected to, have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, but will be implemented in the Company’s future financial reporting when applicable.


FASB Statements:


In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

Capital Stock


Authorized Stock


At inception, the Company authorized 100,000,000 common shares and 100,000,000 preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.


Effective April 8, 2009, the Company increased the number of authorized shares to 600,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as common stock par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.


Share Issuances


Effective April 30, 2009, the Company effected a 10 for 1 forward split of its common stock, under which each stockholder of record on that date received ten (10) new shares of the Corporation’s $0.001 par value stock for every one (1) old share outstanding.


Since its inception (May 31, 2006), the Company has issued shares of its common stock as follows, retroactively adjusted to give effect to the 10 for 1 forward split:

Of these shares, 30,000,000 were issued to directors and officers of the Company and 17,375,000 were issued to independent investors. There are no preferred shares outstanding.  The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.



4.

Provision for Income Taxes


The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under FASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.


Exploration stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carryforwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carryforwards generated during the period from May 31, 2006 (date of

inception) through June 30, 2010 of $137,158 will begin to expire in 2026. Accordingly, deferred tax assets of approximately $48,000 were offset by the valuation allowance that increased by approximately $7,500 and $11,500 during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASC 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company has no tax position at June 30, 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at June 30, 2010. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended exploration stage activities.



5.

Mineral Property Costs


By agreement dated July 27, 2006 with Gold Explorations LLC, of Minden, Nevada, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in certain properties consisting of 20 unpatented mineral claims, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA.


Upon execution of the agreement, Gold Explorations LLC transferred 100% interest in the mineral claims to the Company for $53,000 to be paid, at the Company’s option, as follows:

Notes to Audited Financial Statements

June 30, 2010 and 2009

 

 



As of June 25, 2009, the Company cancelled its agreement with Gold Explorations, LLC. The Company was responsible for maintaining the mineral claims in good standing by paying all the necessary rents, taxes, and filing fees associated with the Property. As of June 25, 2009, the Company met these obligations and no further payments are required.


On September 25, 2009, as amended on June 24, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises, Ltd. (“Beeston”) under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada (the “Claims”), which Claims total in excess of 3,900 hectares, in consideration of the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company to Beeston on or before December 31, 2010. The Claims are subject to a two percent net smelter royalty which can be paid out for the sum of $1,000,000 (CAD).  The Company can earn an undivided 50% interest in the Claims by carrying out a $100,000 (CAD) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before December 31, 2010, plus an additional $200,000 (CAD) exploration and development program on the Claims on or before September 25, 2011.  In the event that the Company acquires an interest in the Claims, the Company and Beeston have further agreed, at the request of either party, to negotiate a joint venture agreement for further exploration and development of the Claims.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not issued any stock or carried out any exploration or development programs.



6.

Due to Related Party


As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company was obligated to a director, who is also an officer and stockholder, for a non-interest bearing demand loan with a balance of $36,799 and $13,667, respectively.  The Company plans to pay the loan back as cash flows become available.  



7.

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As at June 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $37,658 and an accumulated deficit of $137,158.  The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.


The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development and sale of ore reserves.


In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.


These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


On August 6, 2009, the Company received notice from Moore & Associates, Chartered (“Moore”) announcing their resignation effective August 6, 2009.  Furthermore, the Company has been advised that the PCAOB revoked the registration of Moore on August 27, 2009, because of violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality controls standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperation with a Board investigation.


The report of Moore on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, and March 31, 2009, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such reports on our financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph with respect to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


For the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and through the date of August 6, 2009, there have been no disagreements with Moore on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to Moore’s satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. For the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and through the date of August 6, 2009, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


On August 6, 2009, the Board of Directors appointed Seale & Beers, CPAs as Mariposa’s independent auditors for the 2009 fiscal year, replacing Moore.


On September 2, 2009, the Company received notice from Seale & Beers announcing its resignation effective August 31, 2009.  Seale & Beers did not perform any audit work, or issue any reports or opinions on our behalf.   However, Seale & Beers informed the Company that they are concerned about the appearance of independence.


From the date of appointment, August 6, 2009, and through the date of September 2, 2009, there have been no disagreements with Seale & Beers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to Seale & Beers’ satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. From the date of appointment through the date of September 2, 2009, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


ITEM 9A[T].  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls


Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Nanuk Warman, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and



23





communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

With the participation of Nanuk Warman, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on the COSO framework criteria.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including Nanuk Warman, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


Executive Officers, Directors and Key Employees


Directors serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders; until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified, or until their prior resignation or removal.  Officers serve for such terms as determined by our board of directors.  Each officer holds office until such officer’s successor is elected or appointed and qualified or until such officer’s earlier resignation or removal.  No family relationships exist between any of our present directors and officers.


The following table sets forth certain information, as of September 15, 2010, with respect to our directors and executive officers.

May 31, 2006


Certain biographical information of our director and officer is set forth below.


Nanuk Warman


Nanuk Warman has served as our President, Chief Executive and Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Director since May 31, 2006 and also as our Secretary since May 29, 2009.  He obtained his Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designation in October 1998 and has been a member in good standing since with the Certified Management Accountants Society of British Columbia. As of August 2007, he has earned the right to use the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation and is a member in good standing with the CFA Institute. Mr. Warman is a self-employed consultant (since 1998), assisting companies with their preparation of financial statements for review and audit by independent accounting firms and with ongoing accounting compliance matters. From December 2006 – June 2010, he served as a director of Coastline Corporate Services, Inc., a Florida company that is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “CCSV.”  From June 2008 – present, he is serving as the President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, and director of Touchstone Mining Limited, a Nevada company that is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “THSM.”


Employment Agreements


None.


Term of Office


Our directors are appointed for a period of one year or until such time as their replacements have been elected by our stockholders.  The officers of the Company are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until their resignation or removal.


Audit Committee


We do not have a standing audit committee, an audit committee financial expert, or any committee or person performing a similar function.  We currently have limited working capital and no revenues.  



25





Management does not believe that it would be in our best interests at this time to retain independent directors to sit on an audit committee.  If we are able to raise sufficient financing in the future, then we will likely seek out and retain independent directors and form an audit, compensation committee, and other applicable committees.


Board of Directors


Our only director is our sole executive officer.  He is not an independent director.  We do not pay him for attending board meetings.  He is reimbursed, however, for his expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees but has not done so to date.  We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter.  Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders.  To date this has not been a problem, as no security holders have made any such recommendations.  Our sole director performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees.  Given the present size of our board, it is not practical for us to have committees.  If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Accordingly, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.


Code of Ethics
