See Notes to Financial Statements 5 AMERIWEST MINERALS CORP. (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Ameriwest Minerals, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Ameriwest's Form 10-K filed with SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2010 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted. NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN As of August 31, 2010, Ameriwest has not generated revenues and has accumulated losses since inception. The continuation of Ameriwest as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding Ameriwest's ability to continue as a going concern. NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF FIXED ASSETS On November 13, 2009, the Company purchased a bioreactor pod for $24,000 to use in a test process. If the results prove positive then the Company will proceed with acquiring the license rights for those pods. The pod is not in use yet. NOTE 4. LOAN PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY As of August 31, 2010, there is a loan payable due to William Muran for $8,212, that is non interest bearing, unsecured, with no specific repayment terms. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or out predictions. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS We are still in our exploration stage and have generated no revenues to date. The Company carried out the first phase of exploration on the Key 1-4 Mineral Claims, SW Goldfield Hills Area, Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA consists of approximately 83 acres. The results of Phase I were not promising and management determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders to abandon the property and we allowed the Claim to lapse in September 2009. On November 4, 2009 the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Suntech Energy of British Columbia to establish the basic terms to be used in a future asset purchase between the Company and Suntech Energy. The Agreement was to become effective on or before March 31, 2010. The letter of intent expired without having concluded the Agreement, however; discussions are currently underway for another Letter of Intent with Suntech Energy. We incurred operating expenses of $3,901 and $4,722 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses and professional fees incurred in connection with the day to day operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Our net loss from inception (May 30, 2007) through August 31, 2010 was $64,558. We have sold $80,000 in equity securities to fund our operations to date. On May 30, 2007, we issued 3,000,000 common shares at $0.005 per share or $15,000 to our officer and director. A total of 3,250,000 shares of common stock were issued to non-US persons on February 18, 2008. The purchase price of the shares was $65,000 or $0.02 per share. On September 1, 2008 1,050,000 shares were rescinded by the company and funds in the amount of $21,000 were returned to seven shareholders. We rescinded the shares with the consent of such shareholders due to our concerns regarding the available exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of the jurisdiction of residence of such shareholders. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, the company was of the view that rescission was the appropriate remedy. On September 4, 2008 a total of 1,050,000 shares of common stock were issued to six non-US persons. The purchase 7 price of the shares was $21,000 or $0.02 per share. These shares were exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the quarter ended August 31, 2010. Balance Sheet Data: 8/31/10 ------------------- ------- Cash $ 4,454 Total assets $28,454 Total liabilities $13,012 Shareholders' equity $15,442 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash balance at August 31, 2010 was $4,454. We are an exploration stage company and have generated no revenue to date. Management believes our current cash balance will not be sufficient to fund our operating activities over the next 12 months. If we experience a shortage of funds our director has informally agreed to loan the company funds for operating expenses. PLAN OF OPERATION On November 4, 2009 the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Suntech Energy of British Columbia to establish the basic terms to be used in a future asset purchase between the Company and Suntech Energy. The Agreement was to become effective on or before March 31, 2010. The letter of intent expired without having concluded the Agreement, however; discussions are currently underway for another Letter of Intent with Suntech Energy. Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to complete the Agreement with Suntech Energy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to complete the agreement with Suntech Energy or alternatively, find another business opportunity, our shareholders will lose some or all of their investment and our business will likely fail. 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 investors. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and 8 forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the "Evaluation"), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation. LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and 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 the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a 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 or board 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.

The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications).
