NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1-

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The condensed unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2007 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.  While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.


These condensed unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


The Company was incorporated on July 12, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The business purpose of the Company was originally to provide medical diagnostic imaging services to individuals in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.  In September of 2006 the Company changed its purpose to mineral exploration and development.


NOTE 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Exploration Stage Company


The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing and initiating its business plan.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)


Use of Estimates


The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consists principally of currency on hand, demand deposits at commercial banks, and liquid investment funds having a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.


Start-up Costs


In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities”, the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.


Common Stock Issued For Other Than Cash


Services purchased and other transactions settled in the Company's common stock are recorded at the estimated fair value of the stock issued if that value is more readily determinable than the fair value of the consideration received.


Property and Equipment


The cost of office computer equipment is capitalized and depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method of depreciation.  For all equipment presently owned, the useful life being utilized is 60 months.  Repairs that substantially extend the life of the assets are capitalized, and those repairs that do not, are charged to operations.  Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $190, respectively.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue will be recognized when the following conditions are met:  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred in accordance with the terms of the arrangement; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.

All dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive when the Company has incurred a loss from operations.  There are no dilutive securities, such as warrants or options, outstanding.  


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The carrying amount reported for notes payable approximates fair value because, in general, the interest on the underlying instruments fluctuates with market rates.

Currency Risk and Foreign Currency Translations


The Company has assets and significant debt to stockholders on notes denominated in Canadian currency.  In accordance with FASB 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” the functional currency of the Company is United States currency, requiring periodic conversion at exchange rates as of the report date.


The Company has reported its gain or loss on foreign currency translation in its statement of Other Accumulated Comprehensive Income or (Loss) due to these translation adjustments.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.  SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation., clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of  operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)


In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.  SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a service contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”  and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates.  Additionally, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s  financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which clarifies the definition of fair value whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Specifically, the standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances, and must be applied on a prospective basis except in certain cases. The standard also requires expanded financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements, including disclosure of the methods used and the effect on earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

In February 2008, FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP No. 157-2") was issued. FSP No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Examples of items within the scope of FSP No. 157-2 are nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods), and long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment under SFAS No. 144.


The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. See Note 10 for the fair value measurement disclosures for these assets and liabilities. The Company is in the process of analyzing the potential impact of SFAS No. 157 relating to its planned January 1, 2009 adoption of the remainder of the standard.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” which amends SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Plans and for Termination Benefits,” SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,” and SFAS No. 132R, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (revised 2003).”  This statement requires companies to recognize an asset or liability for the overfunded or underfunded status of their benefit plans in their financial statements.  SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement date for plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the sponsor’s year-end.  The standard provides two transition alternatives related to the change in measurement date provisions.  The recognition of an asset and liability related to the funded status provision is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 and the change in measurement date provisions is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.  This pronouncement has no effect on the Company at this time.

On January 1, 2008 (the first day of fiscal 2008), the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, which are not otherwise currently required to be measured at fair value. Under SFAS No. 159, the decision to measure items at fair value is made at specified election dates on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. Entities electing the fair value option are required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings and to expense upfront costs and fees associated with the item for which the fair value option is elected. The new standard did not impact the Company's Condensed Financial Statements as the Company did not elect the fair value option for any instruments existing as of the adoption date. However, the Company will evaluate the fair value measurement election with respect to financial instruments the Company enters into in the future.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"). SFAS No. 141(R) changes how an entity accounts for the acquisition of a business. While it retains the requirement to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method, the new rule will apply to a wider range of transactions or events and requires, in general, acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling ownership interests held in the acquire, among other items. The Company is beginning to review the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R), which applies prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of its 2009 fiscal year.


In December, 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” an amendment of ARB No. 51.  SFAS No. 160 applies to “for profit” entities that prepare consolidated financial statements where there is an outstanding non-controlling interest in a subsidiary.  The statement requires that the non-controlling interest be reported in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet but identified separately from the parent.  The amount of consolidated net income attributed to the non-controlling interest is required to be presented, clearly labeled for the parent and the non-controlling entity, on the face of the consolidated statement of income.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(CONTINUED)


Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)


When a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling interest is to be measured at fair value.  Gain or loss on deconsolidation is recognized rather than carried as the retained value of the retained investment.  The statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  It cannot be adopted earlier but, once adopted, it is to be applied retroactively.  Management is assessing the potential impact on its financial condition and results of operations.


In March of 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS No. 161 has the same scope as Statement No. 133 but requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  The statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.  SFAS No. 161 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has had recurring deficits in the past few years, has large accumulated deficits, is in the exploration stage, and has no recurring revenues. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements and the success of future operations.


These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. SFAS 157’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. SFAS 157 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:


Level 1 Inputs– Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


Level 2 Inputs– Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.


Level 3 Inputs– Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

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

 

 


 


 

 

 


 


 


 

Beeston is an exploration stage company with limited operations, limited revenue, limited financial backing and few assets, which consist mainly of mineral properties that for the most part have had limited exploration to date.  Our initial plan of operation was to build a business providing medical diagnostic imaging services for individuals in Western Canada.  Our customers would have been individuals who were prepared to pay for the services they receive, as well as individual clients of the provincial medical insurance providers, workers’ compensation boards, auto insurance carriers and specialty insurance providers.  We believed at the time that there was an opportunity to provide these services through private clinics that would supplement those being provided by a government funded and administered health service that was constantly operating under pressure to provide such services on a timely basis.  Despite our efforts in this regard, we were unable to implement this business plan.  We have also undergone management changes.  A number of our original directors and officers are no longer with the Company, and we are currently endeavoring to replace some of the personnel.  As part of this reorganization, the Board of Directors decided to explore opportunities in areas other than those contained in the original business plan.


We believed that the growing demand for the production of natural resources presents an area of opportunity for developing companies.  Accordingly, in September, 2006, we acquired a large tract of mineral claims Candorado Operating Company Ltd. (“Candorado”) located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, referred to collectively as the “Ruth Lake Property,” for the purpose of carrying out exploration and development on this mineral property.  There is no guarantee of locating a deposit of some mineral product that could result in a producing mine.  However, we are of the opinion that the location of the mining property is such as to warrant its acquisition and for us to undertake a program of exploration on the mineral property.  


In our pursuit of other mining properties of interest in the same area as our current mineral claim holdings, we were able to enter into another agreement in December, 2007, with Candorado, under which we were granted an option to acquire an interest in certain mineral claims, referred to collectively as the “Bluff Lake Property,” that are proximate to our previously acquired Ruth Lake Property.  Pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement, we can obtain up to a sixty








percent (60%) interest in these mineral claims through the payment of cash and the performance of exploration work upon the optioned claims over a two year period.  Upon our acquiring a minimum interest of fifty percent (50%) in the optioned mineral claims, either party to the option agreement may require participation of the other party in the further exploration and development of the optioned mineral claims pursuant to a joint venture.  


In addition to being near to our previously acquired mineral claims, the optioned claims had received a significant amount of exploration work to date, the results of which have been made available to us. Based on the exploration work previously carried out on the optioned mineral claims, our management believes that these mineral claims are of sufficient merit to warrant a more advanced work program  of exploration.


In our effort to further the exploration and development of our large tract of acquired mineral claims, we will also continue to review the possibility of participating in some form of joint venture or option arrangement with other entities on a portion of our mineral claim holdings.  This was the case in January, 2007, when Beeston entered into an agreement with Kranti Resources Inc. (“Kranti”), a start-up mining company, under which we granted the company an option to acquire a mineral claim from our larger mineral claim holdings by the payment of cash and the performance of a series of work programs over a period of four years.  Upon acquisition of the mineral claim by Kranti, it will be required to pay a certain royalty to Beeston and the prior owner of the mineral claims based on a percentage of any net smelter returns derived from the mineral claim.  


The mining industry in British Columbia is well regulated.  We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada, generally, and in British Columbia specifically.  The initial stage of exploration can generally be carried out without any permitting or notification to any government body or agency as it is deemed “low-disturbance/low-impact” by the British Columbia Department of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (“BCDM”).  In the more advanced stages of exploration involving mechanized trenching or diamond drilling, a Plan of Operation will need to be filed with the BCDM.  This plan will detail the extent, location and amount of surface disturbance for the trenching and/or drilling.  A bond will also have to be obtained in the amount of the cost of reclaiming the anticipated surface disturbance.  Usually the reclamation process entails filling in and smoothing the surface of trenching sites, clean up and removal of any work material, and seeding native grass/plants at the sites of any disturbance.  We were required to make a $2,500 CAD security deposit under the permit we applied for and obtained in regard to the exploration work planned for the phase two of our exploration program on the Bluff Lake Property.  In the event any trees larger than six inches in diameter need to be cut down, a permit will also have to be obtained from the British Columbia Ministry of Forests.  The cost of obtaining the BCDM or Forestry permits is nominal (less than $100 CAD).  The bond required by the BCMD is returned (with interest) upon proper clean up of the exploration site.  In the event that a mineral exploration program should evolve to the point where its purpose is the determination of the existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit, various other government acts, regulation and rules come into effect.  Neither of the exploration programs planned for our properties in 2007 have any such purpose.  All exploration activity in British








Columbia must be carried out in compliance with the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia.


In the quest for copper-gold mineralization, potassium and magnetic alteration is commonly used as exploration vectors.  In regard to the Bluff Lake Property and the Ruth Lake Property, an airborne radiometric and magnetic geophysical survey was recently completed over the area where these properties are located under a partnership program involving a number of the exploration companies having mineral properties in the area, Geological Survey of Canada and Geoscience B.C.  The results of this survey have been given to the participating exploration companies and were released to the general public in April, 2007.  The survey results for the Bluff Lake Property were previously made available to us by Candorado, who was one of the participating exploration companies.


A preliminary review of the survey results showed several potassium anomalies, which may be indicative of potassium alteration.  On the southern portion of the Bluff Lake Property, fracture controlled potassic alteration and copper mineralization had also been noted.  Other copper showings existed elsewhere on the property.  Previous mineral explorations in this area had also delineated areas of anomalous copper in soils in the property.  However, no significant amount of drilling had been done.  We retained the services of Warner Gruenwald, P. Geo. to provide us with an interpretation of the existing geological information on the Bluff Lake Property and recommendations for further exploration of the property.  To assist him in this matter, Mr. Rob Shives, formerly the head of the Radiation Division of the Geological Survey of Canada, was retained to conduct a detailed review of the airborne geophysical survey and existing ground data.  Mr. Shives’ review defined eight target areas for ground work.  Based on the information provided by Mr. Shives, Mr. Gruenwald developed a two-phased $200,000 exploration program.  We carried out phase one of the exploration work program on the Bluff Lake Property during the summer of 2007.  Phase one of the exploration program entailed reconnaissance grids and sampling on the targets identified by Mr. Shives as well as some general prospecting, rock sampling and Mapping.  The cost of phase one of the exploration program was $44,641 CAD.  Sampling of one target area southeast of Bluff Lake yielded an east-southeast trending cooper-in-soil anomaly nearly 500 metres long and at least 150 metres wide.  This anomaly appears to be open to the east and west and coincides with a zone of weathered monzonitic intrusive rocks that differ markedly from the intrusive rocks elsewhere on the property.  Based on the results from phase one of the exploration program, a $165,000 CAD work program has been planned for late spring 2008 as phase two of the exploration program.  Phase two of the exploration program will test the cooper anomaly and will involve road construction, trenching and diamond drilling.


Due to labor and equipment shortages in the industry, we were limited to completing phase one of our exploration program in 2007.  Under the terms of our Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement with Candorado, we were granted an extension of the time period in which to complete a total of $200,000 CAD in exploration expenditures on the Bluff Lake Property.   Completion of phase two of our exploration work program would result in our acquiring a 50% interest in the Bluff Lake Property.  At such time as we are able to acquire such interest, our directors, in consultation with our geologist, will determine whether or not to proceed with an additional exploration program of $250,000 CAD later in 2008.  To the extent that such additional work is recommended and we are able to complete the additional exploration program in 2008, we would








acquire an additional 10% interest in the Bluff Lake Property.  We would then have a 60% interest in the Bluff Lake Property.  Notwithstanding any decision to proceed with the additional exploration, if we are able to complete our initial exploration program of $200,000 CAD on the Bluff Lake Property, and our directors, in consultation with our Geologist, recommend further exploration, we also have the right under the Option Agreement with Candorado to require Candorado to enter into a joint venture with us for the purpose of continuing exploration on the Bluff Lake Property jointly.  Candorado also has the same right, under our Option Agreement with it, to require us to participate in further exploration of the Bluff Lake Property as part of a joint venture.


The Ruth Lake Property has not received as much exploration as the Bluff Lake Property.  What prior exploration has taken place on or near this property has provided indications that the area has the potential to host a copper-gold deposit or a molybdenite deposit.  Prior to retaining the services of Mr. Gruenwald, we had Mr. Marvin Mitchell, P. Eng., prepare a preliminary report on the Ruth Lake Property to provide us with a basis for further exploration of this large tract of mineral claims.  As a result of the limited amount of exploration work preformed in this area, Mr. Mitchell has recommended an initial exploration program of approximately $50,000 CAD involving the taking of soil geochemical samples on a regional grid with fill in samples where indicated by anomalous values.  These samples would then be assayed for various elements and the results would provide a basis for a more concentrated exploration program within the property.  Following the release of the previously mentioned airborne radiometric and magnetic geophysical survey of the Ruth Lake Property, Mr. Shives was also retained to conduct a detailed review of the newly acquired airborne geophysical data for the property.  The geophysical review identified five target areas worthy of investigation for alkalic cooper-gold porphyry deposits.  Each target area was then explored by geochemical soil sampling and prospecting under the supervision of Mr. Gruenwald.  Anomalous cooper-in-soil was detected near the edge of one target area and cooper mineralization was sighted along a newly constructed logging road near this area.  In addition to the results of the exploration program, historic assessment reports relating to the southern part of the property reported sporadic molybdenite-in-soil geochemical anomalies over a north-south length of 750 metres.  Molybdenite and small amounts of chalcopyrite were described as disseminations and fracture fillings in altered, silicified and locally quartz veined granite float and bedrock.  While some drilling was performed, there are no records of results.  Based on the results of our initial exploration program and the historic data on the property, a $35,000 CAD work program is planned for the Ruth Lake Property for the summer of 2008.


As the owner of the mineral claims comprising the Ruth Lake Property, we have the exclusive right to the minerals contained within the surface boundaries and continuing vertically down, and the right to explore, develop and mine the mineral claims for such minerals.  These rights granted to owners of mineral claims are obtained as a form of tenure.  To maintain our tenure in good standing, a prescribed dollar amount of exploration and development work must be performed and an assessment report detailing such exploration and development filed with the Mineral Titles Office annually.  A cash payment of the prescribed dollar amount of exploration and development work may be made in lieu of performing such exploration and development work.  In the case of our option to acquire our interest in the claims comprising the Bluff Lake Property, we have the same rights as Candorado, the owner of these claims.  Under the terms of our Option








Agreement with Candorado, we are obligated to maintain all of the mineral claims comprising the Bluff Lake Property in good standing.  


The annual dollar value of the exploration and development work required to be undertaken on a recorded claim in British Columbia is $4.00 CAD per hectare in years 1 through 3, followed by an $8.00 CAD per hectare per year thereafter.  We have filed assessment reports based on the exploration work we plan to carry out on our mineral properties in 2007.  The cost of these exploration programs has covered the annual assessment fees for all of our interest in mineral properties.  To date we have filed assessment work of $44,641 CAD on the Bluff Lake Property and $48,230 CAD on the Ruth Lake Property.  Kranti, after some delay also due to the shortage of labour and equipment, was able to complete its initial exploration program on its optioned claim.  To date Kranti has paid cash of $1,914 CAD in lieu of filing assessment work plus filed a further $22,977 CAD in assessment work under its exploration requirements on the optioned claim.  All of our properties are currently in good standing.


The terrain in the area in which our mineral properties are located is well forested with rolling hills, and elevations ranging from 915-1525 meters.  The climate is generally dry with a warm summer and a cold winter.  Precipitation ranges from 42-62 centimeters per year with up to 30 centimeters occurring as snow.  While some exploration work such as trenching and drilling could be carried out all year long, generally, exploration in the area is limited to an eight month period running from April to October.  We anticipate performing out intended exploration programs during this eight month period.


Accommodations as well as supplies and equipment are available at the Towns of Lac La Hache or 100 Mile House.  Electricity lines run up to the boundaries of the mineral properties; however, most power requirements can be provided by the use of on-site generators.  Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies and manpower in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers, excavators and drilling equipment that we may need to conduct exploration, as well as skilled manpower to conduct exploration.  We have not yet attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials for our 2008 exploration programs; however, we will commence a search for such manpower, products, equipment and materials shortly.  We anticipate we will begin preparing for exploration under the approved program of work for each of the Ruth Lake Property and the Bluff Lake Property in early spring, 2008.  It is our intention to carry out these exploration programs starting in late spring with the Bluff Lake Property and in the summer for the Ruth Lake Property.


As our directors and officers have no professional training or technical credentials in the field of geology and specifically in the areas of exploring, developing and operating mining properties, we will have to retain the services of various professionals and technicians in the mining industry to provide such expertise.  Accordingly, we have, and will continue to retain the services of geologists and engineers to advise and assist us in the exploration of our acquired interest in mineral claims.


 In order to cover the consulting costs for the preparation of the exploration programs we plan to carry out on each of the Ruth Lake Property and the Bluff Lake Property, the costs of conducting








these exploration programs, plus general operating expenses, we will require funding of approximately $225,000 CAD for the next twelve month period.  We intend to raise the required funds by means of debt and/or equity funding.  To date, our officers and directors have loaned us the funds necessary to acquire out interests in the mineral properties and to cover our ongoing operating expenses.  Our President, Brian Smith, is prepared to provide additional loans to us; however, we will also pursue the sale of additional shares in the Company under a private placement.  On June 20, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a private placement offering of 500,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.68 per share.  We anticipate raising up to $340,000 by means of this private placement offering.  This private placement offering, after three extensions, will terminate on June 20,2008.  As of March 31, 2007, we have received subscriptions for 92,000 shares worth proceeds of $62,560.  We anticipate that we will receive further subscriptions for shares prior to the expiration of the private placement offering.   We will also pursue the sale and/or optioning of a portion of the numerous mineral tenures that comprise the Ruth Lake Property.  The sale or optioning of a portion of our mineral tenures will not only provide us with operating funds, but would also provide for the further exploration and development of these mineral tenures, as in the case of our mineral claim optioned to Kranti.


It is our belief that we will be able to obtain the necessary funding to proceed with our planned exploration programs this year.  However, to the extent we are unable to acquire the required funds, we will amend or delay the exploration activity accordingly.


We currently rent office space at Beeston’s business address of #200-1687 West Broadway, Vancouver, British Columbia.  These premises, comprising approximately 150 sq. ft. within an integrated office service, are rented from American Investments Ltd., an unaffiliated corporation, at a rent of $250 CAD per month as a monthly lease.  We have also acquired various computer and computer related equipment and furniture for use in performing ongoing administrative tasks.  These current facilities will be sufficient for our current operations up until the time Beeston is able to establish a mining operation.


As of March 31, 2008, all of our officers and directors have provided a total of $186,986 in funding to Beeston in the form of various non-interest demand loans.  Interest on the loans is imputed at the rate of 6% per annum and is reported in our financial statements as additions to interest expense and contributed capital.  We have no agreement with any of our officers and directors for the provision of additional funding.


 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.  The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions.









Based on the current internal controls employed by the Company, the Company concludes that, as of March 31, 2008, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control procedures, in that one individual who, as an officer and director of the Company, has sole access and authority to receive cash and make cash disbursements.


There were no significant changes in Beeston’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls from December, 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.  It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
