Overview
 
We were incorporated as a Nevada company on April 4, 2006. We have two wholly owned subsidiaries: Hyde Park Uranium Inc., and Alpha Beta Uranium Inc., Colorado corporations through which we acquired additional mineral claims in Colorado.

We have been engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties since our inception. We have not generated anyhad no revenues and have incurred losses since inception.as of May 31, 2009, the end of our most recent fiscal year.

We currently own options to acquire a 100% interest in twoOur current mineral properties, the Lady Ermalina and Dome mineral properties, located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. We have not conducted any material exploration work on our mineral properties and none of our properties has been determined to contain any mineral resources or reserves of any kind.land interests are as follows:

We previously owned interests in two mineral properties located in the State of Colorado, the High Park mineral property and the Proteus mineral property, which we transferred to a debentureholder in October 2009, pursuant to a settlement agreement entered in August 2009, in settlement of amounts owing to our debentureholders.

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to explore our mineral properties. We plan to begin by conducting a small exploration project on each of our properties in the next month involving mapping and property surveys, among other things, at a cost of approximately $10,000 per property. We anticipate we will require approximately $0.5 million to carry out any further exploration plans over the next 12 months. As at May 31, 2010, we had cash of $2,194 and a working capital deficit of $374,038 and will require significant financing to pursue our exploration plans. There can be no assurance that we will obtain the required financing, on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the event we are unable to obtain the required financing, our business may fail. An investment in our securities involves significant risks and you could lose your entire in vestment.

Taking into consideration all of the claims already owned, staked and currently being staked by us, including the High Park Claim and the Proteus Claims, we hold approximately 472 claims in total, with each claim covering a land surface area of approximately 20 acres for an aggregate of 9,440 acres of mining claims. In order to maintain our interest in the mining claims, we are required to pay a fee of $175 per claim annually.
We are unable to make the required payments on the mining claims. We informed our debentureholders, whose interests are secured by collateral which includes the mining claims, of our inability to maintain our interest in the mining claims in writing. This constituted an event of default pursuant to the secured convertible debenture purchase agreements entered into on September 24, 2008. On August 27, 2009 we entered into a settlement agreement to transfer the collateral that secured the convertible debentures to one of the debentureholders. The collateral to be transferred is all of our intellectual property rights, property and equipment and shareholdings in our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hyde Park Uranium Inc. and Alpha Beta Uranium Inc., to one or more of the debentureholders. The debentureholder has agreed to use its best efforts to assign to have the remaining two debentures assigned to it.

As a result of the foregoing, the operations of our subsidiaries have been presented on a discontinued basis in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009. Our sole officer is focused on merging with, engaging in a capital stock exchange with or engaging in a similar business combination with one or more operating businesses, and is currently seeking new properties for acquisition.

We believe that the earliest we will begin generating revenues will not be until after the completion of a business combination or development of any properties acquired. However, even if a business combination is successfully completed or properties are developed, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated business goals, gain any operating benefits, or generate any profits.

We are currently reviewing various properties for potential acquisition. We do not have any specific business combination under consideration as of the date of this filing and we have not identified any prospective target business, nor has anyone done so on our behalf. There is no assurance that we will successfully identify a potential target business, enter into any definitive agreements with a target business, or finally consummate a business combination with any potential target business or acquire any properties.
Development of Business
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 2006. In June 2007, we acquired the High Park mineral property through our wholly-owned subsidiary High Park Uranium Inc, which consisted of 29 unpatented mineral claims located in the State of Colorado. In January 2008, we acquired the Proteus mineral property through our wholly-owned subsidiary Alpha Beta Uranium Inc, which consisted of 419 unpatented lode mining claims also located in the State of Colorado.

On September 24, 2008 we entered into secured convertible debenture purchase agreements with three investors pursuant to which we sold threewhereby the investors invested $500,000 through the sale secured convertible debentures to the investors in the aggregate amount of $500,000 and we also granted to them warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,5005,000,0000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $40$0.10 per share exercisableshares for a period of 2 years. The debentures accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum and were convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $20 per share. As collateral security we granted the investors a security interest in all the right, title and interest of all of our present and future assets.

On June 5, 2009, we entered into agreements with the debentureholders to issue an aggregate of 8,455 shares of common stock to settle interest accrued up to May 31, 2009. On June 25, 2009, we issued an aggregate of 2,536 restricted shares of common stock to a debentureholder to settle interest accrued up to May 31, 2009 in the amount of $10,146. Subsequent to May 31, 2010, we issued a further 5,918 restricted shares of common stock to two debentureholders to settle interest accrued in the amount of $23,674.

On August 27, 2009 we entered into a settlement agreement with one of the debentureholders, subsequent toRegal Uranium Inc., after an event of default underoccurred pursuant to the terms of the debentures, to settle the outstandingsecured convertible debenture in the amount of $150,000 plus accrued interest. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, wepurchase agreements.

Further details concerning this matter are provided herein.

High Park Uranium Property (the “High Park Claims”)
 
In October 2009,On June 6, 2007, through our wholly owned subsidiary Hyde Park Uranium Inc., we completed the transfer all our interest in the High Park and Proteus properties to Regal Uranium pursuant to the settlement agreement. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysispurchase of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information relating to the debentures.

On January 29 2010, we entered into an option agreement (the “Lady Ermalina Option Agreement”) with Argus Metals Corp. (“Argus”) in relation to threeunpatented mining claims known as the Lady Ermalina Chemainus ClaimsHigh Park Uranium Property located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada (the “Lady Ermalina Property”).
Pursuantin Teller County, Colorado from Pikes Peak Resources, Inc. The purchase was completed pursuant to the Lady Ermalina Option Agreement, we agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,500 shares of our common stockpurchase and to pay an aggregate of $5,000 in cash in consideration for the grant of the solesale agreement between us and exclusive right and option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Lady Ermalina Property. Further, we agreed to incur not less than $600,000 in expenditures related to exploration and development on the Lady Ermalina Property before January 6, 2012. We issued 250 shares to Argus under the Lady Ermalina Option Agreement in February 2010.

On JulyPikes Peak Resources dated May 9, 2010, we received stockholder approval to effect a one-for-four hundred reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, which would take effect upon FINRA approval. The number of shares that we are authorized to issue did not change as a result of the reverse stock split.

On July 22, 2010, we received approval from FINRA and the reverse stock split took effect on July 23, 2010.  On the effective date of the reverse split , the Company’s trading symbol was changed from “BUKX” to “BUKXD” for approximately 20 business days after which it reverted to BUKX.

On August 23, 2010, 0887717 B.C. Ltd. (“0887717”), our wholly-owned subsidiary which we incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on August 9, 2010, entered into an option agreement (the “Dome Option Agreement”) with Murray Scott Morrison, pursuant to which 0887717 has the right to acquire 100% interest in the mineral property known as the Dome Claim Group located on Mount Vallace in the Beaverdell Area, Greenwood Mining Division in the Province of British Columbia, Canada (the “Dome Property”).

Subsidiaries

We currently have one wholly-owned subsidiary, 0887717 BC Ltd. which is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.
Competition
We are an exploration stage mineral resource exploration company that competes with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties.  Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us.  Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties.  In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties.  This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance ad ditional exploration and development.  This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our mineral properties.  We also compete with other mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in mineral exploration companies.  The presence of competing mineral exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.  We also compete with other mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.
Intellectual Property
We currently do not own any intellectual property other than copyright in the contents of our website, www.buckinghamexploration.com.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not engaged in any research and development activities since our inception.
Environmental Laws
Mineral resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations of federal, provincial, state and local agencies.  Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties.  Our cost of doing business may be affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry.  Although we intend to substantially comply with all applicable laws and regulations, because these rules and regulations frequently are amended or interpreted, we cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.

Environmental enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the years, and it is possible that regulations could expand and have a greater impact on future mineral exploration operations.  Although our management intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial, state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the costs of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.  We cannot be sure that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the future.

Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health.  These laws and regulations may (i) require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before exploration commences, (ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released in the environment in connection with exploration activities, (iii) limit or prohibit mineral exploration on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our proposed operations.

There are no costs to us at the present time in connection with compliance with environmental laws.  However, since we do anticipate engaging in natural resource projects, these costs could occur and any significant liability could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.2007.

The purchase price of the property was $1,000,000 which was settled by way of $500,000 in cash and 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pikes Peak Resources will also receive a net returns royalty of 2% (revenue generated from sale of minerals minus any charges involved in transport or smelter). We have an option to purchase the royalty for $1,000,000, as adjusted for inflation. We have agreed to reimburse $3,700 to Pikes Peak Resources for the costs of locating the claims. We have also agreed to buy back shares of common stock from Pikes Peak Resources at prevailing market prices up to $150,000 for any taxes payable by Pikes Peak Resources as a result of the transaction. We have subsequently staked a further 24 adjoining claims. We also paid a finder’s fee of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to an unrelated party subsequent to the closi ng of this transaction.
On January 22, 2008 Hyde Park Uranium executed a quitclaim deed and royalty agreement (the “HP Royalty Agreement”) with Pikes Peak Energy LLC. The Royalty Agreement relates to the 29 unpatented mining claims in Teller County, Colorado purchased by us on June 6, 2007.
The HP Royalty Agreement forms a part of the purchase and sale agreement for unpatented lode mining claims between us and Pikes Peak Resources.  The HP Royalty Agreement replaces the previous quitclaim deed and royalty agreement between Hyde Park Uranium and Pikes Peak Resources dated October 30, 2007.  The previous agreement was replaced in order to correctly identify Pikes Peak Energy LLC as signatory and assignor of the High Park Property.
Pursuant to the HP Royalty Agreement, Hyde Park Uranium must pay to Pikes Peak Energy LLC a perpetual production royalty of 2% of any net returns earned by Hyde Park Uranium from the sale of minerals derived from the High Park Uranium Property.
In the event Hyde Park Uranium intends to abandon the claims or any portion thereof, it must first notify Pikes Peak Energy, whereupon Pikes Peak Energy will have the option for sixty days to acquire the claims at no cost.
Hyde Park Uranium will additionally be required to pay maintenance fees of approximately $175 per claim per year in order to keep the claims in good standing.
Proteus Claims
On January 21, 2008 our company and our wholly owned Colorado subsidiary, Alpha Beta Uranium Inc., entered into an assignment and assumption agreement with Proteus Mining Limited and Pikes Peak Energy LLC whereby Alpha Beta Uranium acquired 419 unpatented lode mining claims located near Cañon City, Colorado, USA (the “Proteus Claims”).  The 419 unpatented lode mining claims include 360 claims in Fremont County, 4 claims in Park County, 42 claims in Saguache County, and 13 claims in San Juan County. The assignment and assumption agreement replaces the option agreement between our company and Proteus Mining dated August 27, 2007 (the “Previous Agreement”).

Under the Previous Agreement, we held an option to acquire 939 mining claims by making payments of $7,425,000 and issuing 2,000,000 common shares. As of January 20, 2008, we had made partial payments totaling $1,575,000 in respect of the option.

Following completion of due diligence on the claims, we decided not to acquire many of the original 913 claims.  Accordingly, on January 21, 2008 our company and our subsidiary Alpha Beta Uranium entered into the assignment and assumption agreement with Proteus Mining and Pikes Peak Energy, whereby Alpha Beta Uranium acquired 419 of the Proteus Claims, in consideration of one final installment of $10,000 and the payment of 3,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Proteus Mining.

Pursuant to the assignment and assumption agreement, Alpha Beta Uranium is also required to pay up to $2,000,000 to Proteus Mining on the successful outlining of mineral reserve milestones on the purchased claims, according to Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) definitions, as described in the following table:

As required by the assignment and assumption agreement, Alpha Beta Uranium concurrently entered into a quitclaim deed and royalty agreement with Pikes Peak Energy dated as of January 21, 2008 (the “AB Royalty Agreement”). Pursuant to the AB Royalty Agreement, Alpha Beta Uranium must pay to Pikes Peak Energy a perpetual production royalty of two percent of any net returns earned by Alpha Beta Uranium from the sale of minerals derived from the Proteus Claims.

In the event Alpha Beta Uranium intends to abandon the claims or any portion thereof before January 21, 2013, it must first notify Pikes Peak Energy, whereupon Pikes Peak Energy will have the option for sixty days to acquire the claims at no cost. Alpha Beta Uranium will additionally be required to pay maintenance fees of approximately $175 per claim per year in order to keep the claims in good standing.
Subsidiaries

As of May 31, 2009, we have two wholly owned subsidiaries, Hyde Park Uranium Inc., and Alpha Beta Uranium Inc., Colorado corporations that have assets comprised of mineral claims in Colorado. As described under “Item 1. Description of Business - Overview” herein, we have defaulted on our obligations pursuant to secured convertible purchase agreements we entered into on September 24, 2008 with three debentureholders. As a result, we entered into a settlement agreement on August 27, 2009 to transfer ownership of the collateral that was security for the convertible debentures to the debentureholders. The collateral to be transferred includes the following:
(1) all of the issued and outstanding shares we hold in our two subsidiaries, being 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in each of Hyde Park Uranium Inc. and Alpha Beta Uranium Inc, resulting in these subsidiaries being wholly owned by one or more of the debentureholders;
(2) all of our property and equipment and the property and equipment of our subsidiaries; and
(3) all of our intellectual property rights and those of our subsidiaries.
The operations of our two subsidiaries have been presented in the financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009 on a discontinued basis as a result. We anticipate the transfer of collateral will be finalized in September or October 2009, and we are actively seeking new properties to acquire, explore and develop.
Business Strategy

We have identified the following guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating a prospective target business. We will use these guidelines in evaluating business combination opportunities; however, we may decide to enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet all of these guidelines. We may not be able to complete a business combination with any target business that meets all or part of these guidelines due to our limited human, capital and other resources. In the alternative, we may seek to consummate a business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.

Established company with positive cash flow.  We intend to acquire an established company with a history of positive cash earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We do not intend to acquire a start-up company, a company with speculative business plans or a company that we believe has significant risk attached to it.

Strong competitive position in industry.  We intend to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a target business relative to its competitors. The factors we will consider include product quality, customer loyalty, cost impediments associated with customers switching to competitors, patent protection, brand positioning and capitalization. We will seek to acquire a business that has developed a strong position within its market, is well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities and operates in an industry with significant barriers to entry. We will seek to acquire a business that demonstrates advantages when compared to its competitors, which may help to protect its market position and profitability.

Experienced management team.  We will seek to acquire a business that has an experienced management team with a proven track record for delivering growth and profits. We believe that the operating expertise of our management team will complement, not replace, the target business’ management team.

Diversified customer and supplier base.  We will seek to acquire a business that has a diversified customer and supplier base. We believe that a company with a diversified customer and supplier base is generally better able to endure economic downturns, industry consolidation, changing business preferences and other factors that may negatively impact its customers, suppliers and competitors.

6

Competitive Strengths

We believe that we will succeed in consummating a business combination with a target business or businesses as a result of our collective strengths:
Successful operating experience. Our officer and sole director has experience in business development, capital raising and the marketing and management of various companies. We believe that his experience will provide us with a competitive advantage in assessing whether a target business has the necessary resources to compete successfully as a publicly-traded company.

Experience in identifying and executing acquisitions.  Our management has extensive experience in identifying and evaluating successful business acquisition opportunities, performing in-depth due diligence, negotiating with owners and management, structuring, financing and closing transactions in both the public and private markets.

Extensive deal-sourcing network.  Our management has an extensive network of business relationships with executives and board members of privately- and publicly-held companies, as well as with private equity funds, venture capital funds and hedge funds. We believe that these contacts will provide us with significant business acquisition opportunities.
Competition
In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities with business objectives similar to ours. There are many blank check companies seeking to carry out a business plan similar to ours that have completed initial public offerings in the United States. Furthermore, there are a number of additional blank check companies in the registration process that have not yet completed initial public offerings, and there are likely to be more blank check companies that have completed initial public offerings before we are able to successfully consummate a business combination.

We may also be subject to competition from entities other than blank check companies, which may be special acquisition companies or capital pool companies, that have a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital firms, leverage buyout firms and operating businesses looking to expand their operations through the acquisition of a target business. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations either directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources may be relatively limited in comparison to many of these competitors.

While we believe that numerous potential target businesses may be available for acquisition, our ability to acquire a certain attractive target business will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation may give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. The fact that stockholder approval may delay the completion of a business combination is an additional limitation that may be viewed unfavorably by certain target businesses.

Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and our access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms over privately-held entities with business objectives similar to ours. Additionally, our management has significant business experience and well developed contacts in various business industries in Canada.

If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will likely be further intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.

Effecting a Business Combination

General

We intend to focus our efforts to effect a business combination or acquire new properties. Such a business combination may be with a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its stock. We may also face other risks including time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and failure to comply with various federal and state securities laws. Our stockholders may not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any potential business combination.
We Have Not Identified a Target Business

To date, we have not selected a specific target on which to concentrate our efforts for a business combination. Our management has not had any preliminary contact or discussions on our behalf with representatives of any prospective target business regarding the possibility of a potential merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other strategic transaction with us. In addition, our management has not yet taken any measure, directly or indirectly, to locate a target business. There has been no due diligence, investigation, discussions, negotiations and/or other similar activities undertaken, directly or indirectly, by us, our management or by any third party, with respect to an ongoing proposed business combination.
Sources of Target Businesses

We anticipate candidates for a business combination will be brought to our attention by various unaffiliated sources, including executives, private equity funds, venture capital funds, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. We expect such sources to become aware that we are seeking a business combination candidate by a variety of means, such as publicly available information relating to this offering, public relations and marketing efforts, articles that may be published in industry trade papers discussing our intention to effect a business combination, or direct contact by management of potential target businesses.

Our management, as well as our existing stockholders and their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates. We do not anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business combinations on any formal basis. In no event will we pay our existing management, our existing stockholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated any finder’s fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination. In addition, neither our existing management nor our existing stockholders will receive any finder’s fee, consulting fees or any similar fees or other compensation from any other person or entity, including any target company, in connection with any business combination other than any compensation or fees to be received f or any services provided following such a business combination.

Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination

Our management will have some degree of flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective business combination. However, our selection will be driven by finding a company with sufficient cash flow. In evaluating a prospective business combination, our management will consider, among other factors, the following:
capital requirements;
growth potential;
financial condition and results of operations;
competitive position;
stage of development of products, processes or services;
costs associated with effecting the business combination.

8

We will attempt to structure any business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment for all parties involved. We cannot assure you, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or appropriate state tax authorities will agree with our tax treatment of the business combination.

The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete a business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a business combination.
Fair Market Value of Target Business

The fair market value of a target business will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow, book value, and the price for which comparable businesses have recently been sold. Other factors contributing to a determination of the fair market value may include timing, the reputation of the target business and the anticipated costs of completing the transaction.

We are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party regarding the fair market value of a target business we select at the time of any transaction. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we plan to pay is fair to our stockholders from a financial perspective unless the target is affiliated with our officers, directors, special advisors, existing stockholders or their affiliates.

Probable Lack of Business Diversification

It is probable that we will have the ability to effect only a single business combination. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations with entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, we will likely not have sufficient resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with a single entity or a limited number of entities, our lack of diversification may leave us dependent upon the performance of a single business or a limited number of businesses, and result in us being dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products or services.

Limited Ability to Evaluate the Management of a Target Business

Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of prospective target businesses when evaluating the potential to effect a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that new members who join our management team following a business combination will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of our sole officer and director, if any, in a target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that our current officer and director will remain associated with us in some capacity following a business combination, it is unlikely that he will devote his full efforts to our affairs after the consummation of a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our so le officer and director will have substantial experience or knowledge concerning the operations of any particular target business.

Opportunity for Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

We may not submit a business combination to our stockholders for approval if the nature of the transaction would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable governing laws. If we are required to submit the transaction to our stockholders for approval, we will furnish our stockholders with proxy solicitation materials, which will include a description of the operations of the target business and certain required financial information regarding the business. Also, we will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock at the meeting are in favor of the business combination. To compensate for a potential shortfall in cash, we may be required to structure the business combination, in whole or in part, using the issuance of our common stock as consideration. Accordingly, any increase in the number of shares of our issued and outstanding common stock could hinder our ability to consummate a business combination in an efficient manner or to optimize our capital structure.

When we seek stockholder approval for a business combination, we will not offer each stockholder a right to have their shares of common stock redeemed for cash if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed.

History of Operations
 
The Lady Ermalina "Iron Formation" has been re-interpreted asPrior to our acquisition of the High Park Claims, they were explored by Cyprus Mining Corporation and a possible exhalative from a massive sulphide ore zone at depth, as is commontotal of 354 holes were drilled in the New Brunswick camp.  The thicknessproject area. Of these, 339 holes are located on section 25 of the zoneproperty where uranium ore reserves have been partially delineated. Mineral trends are open ended and identified in at least five horizons within the project area related to braided stream channel deposits in the Lady C area (upTallahassee Creek Conglomerate. Fifteen holes were drilled in the North West corner of section 31, of which two holes contained U3O8 ore grade intercepts at open pit depths. No holes have been drilled on section 30.
The initial project also included leased property in section 25, and state section 36, which is held by the Cotter Corporation. U3O8 ore reserves also exist on both of these properties and a test pit was opened on section 36 for pre-mining evaluation and test. The High Park Claims were to 46 metres thick)be mined and blended with ore from the Hansen Mine during milling operations. With the decline of the uranium industry in horizontal drill holes across the steeply dipping mineralization suggestsearly 1980’s, all projects were curtailed, and many properties, including the possibility of economic sizeHigh Park Claims were relinquished and turned back to the zone.  This section is 1.5 kilometres NW of,original land holders. Since that time the claims have been maintained, and on strike with, the Randy North Zone discovered by Laramide Resources Ltd. and five kilometres NWa comprehensive study of the Coronation zone which has a reported resources. These deposits,area and the Mt. Sicker Mine which is 13 kilometres SE, are all in the Paleozoic Sicker formation, of equivalent age to the Myra Falls formation hosting the Breakwater deposits including the large VMS high grade HW ore body now operated by Breakwater Resources Ltd. The Lady showing is easily accessible by logging roads for a drill program.

The 1953 drilling program consisted of twenty AX core holes totalmg 2280.5 feet (695 m), of which 12 drill holes were on the Lady A, 4 on the Lady B and 4 on the Lady C showing.

Massive sulphide copper was produced from Mt Sicker deposits, 13km SE of the Lady deposit, between 1898 and 1907 when two copper smelters were in operation at Ladysmith and Crofton and again between 1944-45.  Laramide R sources discovered the Coronation Zone in 1984, which lies approximately 5 km SE of the Lady Claims.  Laramide drilled over 200 holes and also conducted exploration work on a new discovery, the Randy North Zone, which lies 1.5Km SE of the Lady zone and trends on strike with the Lady C zone.date completed.

To date there has no beenIn the 1970’s a small ore body was drilled on Section 25. The drilling or trenching betweencontained approximately 354 holes. Mineral trends are open ended and identified in at least five horizons within the Lady A and Lady C showings or southproject area related to braided stream deposits in the Tallahassee Creek conglomerate.
In April 2006, we hired a geologist, Richard E. Schneider, to prepare a report evaluating the High Park Claims.  Thereafter, we planned a two stage exploration program, of which we have completed the first step of the Lady Cfirst phase and intend to prove this continuity.  The “iron formation” consists of lenses of extremely fine-grained magnetite with minor specular hematite in grey chert and red jasperoid rock. Some pyrite is present in talus southcarry out the remaining steps of the Lady C zone.first phase and the second phase.

In 1988On November 23, 2007 we completed a soil samplingdrill program on our High Park Claims. The drilling at the  High Park Claims seeks to extend the known mineralization of the High Park Claims by focusing on twinning holes previously reported by Cyprus Mining Corporation. Our completed drill program included 37 holes with a collective depth of 6,651 feet.
We had developed a plan of exploration for the High Park Claims, however that plan was put on hold during the financial year ended May 31, 2009 as our financial resources were exhausted.
Geology
The project area is part of the Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate of Oligocene age. Outcrops of the Oligocene Wall Mountain Tuff also occur throughout parts the unexplored areas. The Echo Park Formation of Eocene age also outcrops within the property on fairly steep slopes and in gullies.
Mineralization
The minerals occurring in the project area are autunite (an ore of uranium), uraninite (any mineral consisting of 871 soil samples collecteduranyl phosphate and arsenate of the autunite), gummite (secondary uiranium oxides) and uranophane (radioactive source of uranium). To the east side of the property is a volcanic intrusive (rock formation) that has come up through the granites and rhyolites. It is estimated to be approximately 1,800 feet by 2,500 feet in area and Tertiary in age. Depth could go to several thousands of feet. The intrusive is radioactive. Mineralized trends are identified in at 25 and 50 meter intervals on lines 100 meters apart in a NE-SW orientation was conducted.  52 rock samples were also collected and all samples were analyzed by Acme Laboratories using 30 element ICP. In generalleast five horizons within the soil sampling shows moderately anomalous gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and arsenicproject area. These are related to multiple braided stream channel deposits in the vicinityTallahassee Creek Conglomerate, and possibly the Echo Park Formation. These channels cut into the underlying granites and rhyolites. The channel system is identified as having weathered medium to large granite boulders, volcanic tuff and smaller sand and gravels. The streams are further identified as containing small to large pieces of the “iron formation” with a gappetrified palm wood and carbonized wood. The channels can range in the sampling where the topography in the vicinity of the Lady C showing was too steep.  Both soil and rock sampleswidth from the iron formation area were anomalous in molybdenum.

A VLF-EM survey was run by Ashworth Exploration in 1987several hundred feet to over a southern grid with conductors appearing both NEmile. The channels are Eocene in age and SW of the “iron formation”.  In-phase readings only were recorded and the power line through the property had a disruptive effect.  The magnetometer survey was run using a singma proton magnetometer but no base readings were taken.

The magnetic profiles show strong peaks over the iron formation but again readings could not be taken within 200 meters of the power lines.

The Project requires a detailed compilation program to bring together the entirety of the historic exploration work to date.  Once that has been accomplished, an on-the-ground property survey is required to locate the historic exploration areas drillholes.  Subsequent to this, a drilling program is envisioned to test the continuity of the iron formation between the Lady A and Lady C showings.classified as being 35,000,000 years old.

The Proteus Claims consist of 419 unpatented lode uranium mining claims, which include: 364 claims in Fremont County, 42 claims in Saguache County, 13 claims in San Juan County; all located near Cañon City, Colorado, USA. The claims are collectively known as the “Proteus Claims”. The claims are accessible by GSC (Muller, 1980) showspaved roads and tracks giving easy accessibility. Canon City is approximately an hour’s drive southwest of Colorado Springs and is home to the Cotter Corporation uranium mill. This mill suspended operation in 2001 and is currently in the process of refurbishment.
The Proteus Claims are grouped into six separate properties located near Cañon City, Colorado, USA.  Each property consists of a varying number of uranium claims with each claim covering a land surface area of 20 acres. The claims are easily accessible by a number of paved roads and tracks. Cañon City is approximately an hour’s drive southwest of Colorado Springs and is home to the Cotter Corporation uranium mill. That mill suspended operation in 2001 and is in the process of refurbishment. Virtually all of the claims have been previously owned, drilled or worked on by one of the major uranium companies that operated in the area during the last uranium boom that took place in the late 70s and early 80s. Those companies included Union Carbide, Cypress Mining, Urania, Westinghouse and Cotter Corporation.  We have o pened a field office in Cañon City staffed by a project manager and has engaged the services of several experienced consultants in the areas of geology, geophysics, surveying and staking.Figures 3, 4, 5. 6: Location of the LadyProteus Claims to be underlain by Paleozoic Sicker Group which is intruded to the NE by the dioritic Ladysmith Stock of Jurassic Intrusions.

Regional Geology
The Dome Property lies in the western portion of the Boundary District of south central British Columbia and is centred within south the historic Beaverdell Mining Camp.  In broad terms the area is a graben-derived terrane consisting of Triassic-Jurassic volcanics and sediments enclosed within and/or intruded by Jurassic-Cretaceous and Tertiary granitic rocks.  Regionally, the Dome Project lies near the southern end of the Omineca Crystalline Belt.
 The Boundary District is situated within the mid-Jurassic accreted Quesnellia terrane.  Pre-existing Proterozoic to Palaeozoic North American basement rocks do however exist within the rafted Quesnellia terrane (Kettle and Okanagan metamorphic core complexes).  During the Eocene, these core complexes were uplifted separated from the overlying lithologies.  The oldest of the accreted rocks in the district are the Pre-Jurassic Wallace Formation.

Granodiorite of the West Kettle batholith underlies much of the area within and surrounding the Dome Property.  This batholith has been repeatedly intruded by stocks of quartz monzonite (the Beaverdell stock), and hosts pendants/screens of metamorphosed country rock (Wallace Formation). The Curry-Creek tuffs and conglomerates (Oligocene age) as well as mafic Miocene flows (Nipple Mountain Volcanics), unconformably overlie all these units. 
In the Beaverdell Mining Camp, where the Dome Property lies, silver-lead-zinc ores have predominated historical production.  In order of historical importance (production), there are two (2) distinct types of ore:
1)      the Beaverdell –Type – Silver rich Vein Deposits
2)      The Carmi-Type Gold Rich vein deposits. 
10

The West Kettle batholith is intruded by the Beaverdell stock in the west of the Beaverdell Camp and is overlain by Wallace Formation in the eastern portions of the Camp.  Mineralization occurs within structurally controlled fissure related quartz (+/- carbonate) veins predominantly striking northeast.  In order of decreasing abundance, the main metallic minerals are galena, sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite, chalcopyrite, polybasite, acanthite, native silver and pyrrhotite.
In the more northern portions of the Camp, sphalerite, pyrite and galena are the main minerals in the vein deposits with a gangue of quartz.
The Dome Property represents an epithermal vein (gold-silver +/- base metals) exploration target.  Precious metal epithermal deposit exploration techniques will be applied to substantiate this assessment.

Mineralization
In the Beaverdell Mining Camp silver-lead-zinc ores have predominated historical production.  In order of historical importance (production), there are two (2) distinct types of ore:
A.   Beaverdell type – Silver Rich Deposits
B.   Carmi type – Gold Rich Deposits
In the former case mineralization is typically composed of galena, sphalerite and pyrite with lesser amounts of arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite, chalcopyrite, polybasite, acanthite, native silver and pyrrhotite in a gangue of mainly quartz with lesser amounts of calcite and fluorite.  In the latter, roughly equivalent with native gold in place of native silver.  Both these types of mineralization are noted in the Dome Property:
●  Beaverdell-Type silver-rich veins in the West Kettle Batholith
●  Contact metasomatism related mineralization (within contact zone between West Kettle Batholith and the Wallace Formation
In general the mineralization in the Beaverdell District can be described as hosted within granodiorite of the Westkettle batholith, grading to quartz diorite and diorites with  the Permian Wallace Formation metavolcanics and metasediments as roof pendants hosting the mineralization in the northen portions of the Property.

Shear zone related mineralization is the dominant geological control on the Dome Property mineralization and is commonly noted on surface and underground workings in the Beaverdell area.  These shear zones are variable in widths from showing to showing, however the widths of these shear zone in the larger, well developed showings (like the Inyo-Ackworth) average approximately two metres and are well defined by rusty fault gouge and vuggy quartz and manganese staining.  Lengths of these shear zones are equally as variable from showing to showing, with the larger more productive shear zones defined over 300 metres in length.  The shear zones also have variable strikes however a general east-west (075-090 degree) trend can be estimated as the main control of Property mineraliztion. 
In general the shear zone related mineralization is associated with vuggy quartz-calcite veins, on the order of 5 to 50 centimetres wide, and commonly carry pyrite, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite and native silver mineralization.  Strong sericitic alteration and kaolin are known to be  associated with mineralization throughout the Property.
Beaverdell silver-rich veins are found in a 3.0 by 0.8 kilometre belt, referred to as the Beaverdell silver-lead-zinc vein camp. The mineralized veins are fissure-hosted, formed along east-trending faults in the west portion of the Beaverdell camp and northeast- trending faults in the east portion of the camp. Faults have been classified into five types based on their orientation, with each type having common orientation, kind of movement and age relationship. The northeast-striking, high-angle normal faults pose the greatest obstacle to systematic exploration and mining, as these faults are commonly spaced a few metres apart dividing veins into short segments in a northwest-downward direction.
Vein-type mineralization of the Beaverdell camp is characterized by a high silver content. Mineralization is composed of galena, sphalerite and pyrite with lesser amounts of arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite, chalcopyrite, polybasite, acanthite, native silver and pyrrhotite. The gangue minerals in veins are mainly quartz with lesser amounts of calcite, fluorite and sericite with rare barite.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
 
On August 14,As of September 11, 2009, Leslie Rudolph filed a Statement of Claim in the Provincial Court of British Columbia (Small Claims Court) to initiate a lawsuit against us. In the Statement of Claim, Mr. Rudolph seeks judgment for $7,832.64 and costs with respect to accounting services he provided to us from June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008. On December 1, 2009, the Court issued a default order against us for the sum of $8,261 plus court order interest from December 30, 2008 to date. We made an application to the Court to cancel the default order, which was subsequently dismissed.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this annual report, as well as the section in this annual report entitled “Description of Business”.  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars.

We are an exploration stage company with limited operations and no revenues from our business operations since inception in April 2006.operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion relating to our business whichopinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional financing to fund our operations.

We currently own options to acquire a 100% interest

We have not conducted any material exploration workdefaulted on these properties. We previously held interests in two mineral properties located in the State of Colorado which we acquired in June 2007 and January 2008. Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement entered in August 2009, we transferred all of our interest in thesethree secured convertible debenture purchase agreements that have been outstanding since September 24, 2008. We are actively seeking new properties to acquire, explore and develop or a debentureholder in October 2009 in settlementbusiness combination to consummate. For further details, see “Item 1. Description of amounts owing by us under certain debentures upon an event of default under the debentures.

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to explore our mineral properties. We plan to begin by conducting a small exploration project on each of our properties in the next month involving mapping and property surveys, among other things, at a cost of approximately $10,000 per property. We anticipate we will require approximately $0.5 million to carry out any further exploration plans over the next 12 months. As at May 31, 2010, we had cash of $2,194 and a working capital deficit of $374,038 and will require significant financing to pursue our exploration plans. There can be no assurance that we will obtain the required financing, on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the event we are unable to obtain the required financing, our business may fail.

Results of Operations
 
Lack of Revenues
 
We have earned no revenues and have sustained operational losses since our inception on April 4, 2006 to May 31, 2010.2009. As of May 31, 2010,2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,321,429.$7,062,250. We anticipate that we will not earn any revenues during the current fiscal year or in the foreseeable future as we are ana mineral exploration stage company.
 
During the year ended May 31, 2009, we defaulted under three secured convertible debenture purchase agreements as we were unable to pay fees to maintain our interest in any of our 472 mineral claims located in Colorado. Weclaims. As such, we entered into a settlement agreement on August 27, 2009 with one of our debentureholders in settlement of amounts owning under our convertible debentures which requiredincludes the transfer of all of our interest in two subsidiaries and all of their assets, to the debentureholder, including all mineral claims, intellectual property rights and property and equipment, which was completed in October 2009.equipment. Our management is actively seeking new properties to acquire, explore and develop. However there can be no assurance we will acquire any new properties or successfully find or negotiate a business combination or that any business combination that may be finalized will become profitable.
 
Expenses
From April 4, 2006 (date of inception)At this time, our ability to May 31, 2010,generate any revenues continues to be uncertain. Until such time as we are able to acquire, explore and develop any new properties or finalize a business combination and begin generating revenues, we will continue to incur substantial losses. The auditor's report on our total expenses were $2,210,976, comprised of $480,608 in professional fees, $5,850 in mineral property costs and $1,724,518 in general and administrative expenses.
Our total expenses decreased to $240,982audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 from $478,613 for the year ended May 31, 2009. The decrease in total expenses was mainly due to reduced overhead expenses as a result of curtailing our exploration activities due to a lack of financial resources.
We recognized total other expenses of $79,964 from our inception to May 31, 2010, primarily due to interest expense and amounts owing under our convertible debentures. For the year ended May 31, 2010, we recognized total other expenses of $13,877, compared to $60,961 for the yearyears ended May 31, 2009 due to interest expense and amounts owing under our convertible debentures.
Loss From Discontinued Operations
We recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $4,320 during the year ended May 31, 2010, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $82,855 during the year ended May 31, 2009, due to the transfer of all of our interest in two subsidiaries (and related assets) as a result of our default under our convertible debentures. This See Note 11 to our audited financial statements included in this annual report for more information.
Net Loss
For the year ended May 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss of $259,179, compared to a net loss of $622,429 for the year ended May 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2010, we had cash of $2,194, a working capital deficit of $374,038, total assets of $7,788, total liabilities of $379,853 and2008 contains an accumulated deficit of $7,321,429.
We have funded our operations primarily by a combination of private placements, advances from related parties and loans. From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2010, financing activities provided cash of $4,013,429, primarily from the sale of our common stock. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, financing activities provided cash of $16,171, compared to $368,461 in the year ended May 31, 2009, primarily from advances from related parties and loans.
Operating activities used cash of $55,466 for the year ended May 31, 2010, compared to $388,654 for the year ended May 31, 2009, primarily as a result of the curtailment of exploration activities due to our limited resources. An increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided cash of $201,746 in the year ended May 31, 2010, compared to $89,714 in the prior year.
Investing activities during the year ended May 31, 2010 provided cash of $38,217, compared to $12,496 in the prior year, primarily due to the disposition of our interest in our subsidiaries resulting from the settlement of our convertible debentures.
We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations and exploration activities on our mineral properties. We do not anticipate generating any revenues for the foreseeable future. Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to explore our mineral properties. We anticipate we will require approximately $0.5 million to carry out our exploration plans over the next 12 months and will require significant financing to pursue our exploration plans.

We intend to raise additional capital for the next 12 months from the sale of our equity securities or loans from related and other parties.  If we are unsuccessful in raising sufficient capital through such efforts, we may consider other financing avenues such as bank financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.  If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail.

Even though we plan to raise capital through equity or debt financing, we believe that the latter may not be a viable alternative for funding our operations as we do not have tangible assets to secure any such financing.  We anticipate that any additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock.  However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds from the sale of our common stock to finance our operations.  In the absence of such financing, we may be forced to abandon our business plan.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Going Concern

Our financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2010 have been prepared on a going concern basis and Note 1 to the statementsexplanatory paragraph which identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustmentsadjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Expenses
From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2009, our total expenses were $1,969,995, comprised of $377,431 in professional fees and $1,592,564 in general and administrative expenses.
Our total expenses decreased by $690,848 to $478,613 for the year ended May 31, 2009 from $1,169,461 for the year ended May 31, 2008. The decrease in total expenses was mainly due to reduced overhead expenses as a result of curtailing our exploration activities in response to a lack of financial resources.
The major components of our total expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 are $379,433 in general and administrative expenses and $99,180 in professional fees. Included in general and administrative expenses is $88,210 in stock based compensation.
We have not generated any revenues, have achieved losses sincerecognized total other expenses of $66,087 from our inception to May 31, 2009, including $46,867 in interest expense.

Loss From Discontinued Operations
We are an exploration stage company and are heavily dependent on equity financing to sustain our operations. The current economic downturn has impacted our ability to sell common stock and we have relied on debt financing to the extent possible to sustain limited operating activities. We were unable to pay the necessary fees to maintain our interest in our mineral claims. As such, we defaulted on the terms of three outstanding convertible debenture agreements by communicating our inability to pay our debts as they became due. We entered into a settlement agreement on August 27, 2009 with one of our debentureholders, Regal Uranium Inc., pursuant to which we will transfer all interest in our two subsidiaries, all property and equipment and all intellectual property to Regal Uranium. Regal Uranium has agreed to pay us $50,000 and to use its best effor ts to have the remaining two debentures assigned to Regal Uranium.
We recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $82,855 during the year ended May 31, 2009 due to the planned transfer of our two subsidiaries as a result of our default on three convertible debentures outstanding since September 24, 2008. This compares to a loss from discontinued operations of $3,595,796 during the year ended May 31, 2008, as reclassified in accordance with US GAAP for comparison purposes.
The primary component of loss from discontinued operations for the year ended May 31, 2009 is mineral property costs of $63,870. In addition, we had amortization expense of $6,991, general and administrative costs of $4,117 and a loss on disposal of property and equipment of $7,878.
For the year ended May 31, 2008, our loss from discontinued operations was comprised of mineral property costs of $319,658, costs to impair our mineral properties of $3,185,000 as it has not been determined whether the properties have proven or probable reserves, amortization expenses of $14,448, general and administrative expenses of $60,128, professional fees of $10,382 and a loss on disposal of property and equipment of $6,180.
On an aggregate basis, net loss from discontinued operations totalled $5,026,169.
Net Loss
For the year ended May 31, 2009 we incurred a net loss of $622,429 compared to a net loss of $4,769,456 for the year ended May 31, 2008. From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2008, we incurred an aggregate net loss of $7,062,250.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation and changing prices have had no impact on our net sales and revenues to date as we are an exploration stage company that has incurred net losses to date and has not generated any revenues.

As of May 31, 2009, we had cash of $3,272 in our bank accounts and a working capital deficit of $596,158. We had total assets of $24,572 and total liabilities and current liabilities of $602,691. Our accumulated deficit was $7,062,250.
Our net loss of $7,062,250 from April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2009 has been primarily funded by a combination of private placements and loans. From April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2009, we raised cash proceeds from the sale of common stock, net of issuance costs, of $3,464,425. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 we received net cash from financing activities of $368,461. This included an operating loan in the amount of $225,000, bearing interest of 1% per month. On September 4, 2008, $25,000 of the principle balance was repaid and on September 24, 2008 the balance of all outstanding loans of $350,000 was converted into secured convertible debentures.
Since April 4, 2006 (date of inception) to May 31, 2009, we raised net proceeds of $3,994,970 in cash from financing activities.
20

We used net cash of $388,654 in operating activities for the year ended May 31, 2009 compared to $1,152,210 for the year ended May 31, 2008. The decrease is attributed mainly to management’s decision to limit our exploration activities due to our limited resources, resulting in a decrease in operating activities.
We did not use any cash in, or receive any cash from, investing activities during the year ended May 31, 2009 as our financial resources were limited. We used net cash of $1,752,233 in investing activities for the year ended May 31, 2008.
We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations and exploration activities of mineral properties. We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have had to rely on outside capital resources. We do not anticipate making any revenues for the next year. Over the next 12 months, we plan to initially concentrate on completing a comprehensive review of all the data available from the drill programs as well as carrying out a ground scintillation survey to identify new drill targets on any new properties acquired.
As of May 31, 2009 we had $3,272 in cash. We will receive an additional $50,000 in cash pursuant to the settlement agreement with Regal Uranium Inc. In order to find and negotiate a business combination or acquire an operating business or new properties, we may incur expenses that outpace our cash resources. Should we require additional capital resources, we will proceed by way of private placements, loans or possibly a direct offering. There can be no assurance we will successfully raise sufficient capital to meet our future cash requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Known Material Trends and Uncertainties
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from outside sources to sustain operations and meet our obligations on a timely basis, and ultimately upon our ability to attain profitability. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to acquire any new properties or complete any business combination or that our future operations will be profitable after completing a business combination.
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. The threat that we will be unable to continue as a going concern will be eliminated only when our revenues have reached a level that is able to sustain our business operations.
We plan to review and identify potential businesses for acquisitions or other business combinations, or identify other properties for acquisition. Our management is unable to predict whether or when any property will be acquired or business combination will occur or the likelihood of any particular transaction being completed on favorable terms and conditions. We may be unable to obtain the necessary financing to complete any transactions and could financially overextend ourselves. Acquisitions or other business combinations may present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including difficulties in integrating operations and personnel. Any failure to integrate new businesses or manage any new transactions successfully could adversely affect our business and future financial performance.
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on April 4, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. MineralOur mineral property exploration costs are expensedexpenses as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assessescapitalized when incurred using guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. We assess the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment atas the end of each fiscal quarter end.under SFAS 144 “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”. 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 arewould be capitalized. Such costs will beCosts are amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated useful life of the pr obableprobable reserve. IfCapitalized c osts associated with mineral properties that are subsequently abandoned or impaired any capitalized costs will beare charged to operations.
Financial Instruments
We are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value under SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization in within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels used to measure fair value: Level 1 which applies to all assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabi lity such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions, or based on model-driven valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by observable market data; Level 3 applies to assets are liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, other receivables, accounts payable and secured convertible debentures. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recordsWe record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, SFAS No. 123R “Compensation – StockShare Based CompensationPayments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. During the year ended May 31, 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $nil (2009 - $88,210) as general and administrative expense.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date and through the date that the financial statements are issued. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place.  The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Buckingham Exploration Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Buckingham Exploration Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of May 31, 20102009 and 2009,2008, and the related consolidated statement of operations, cash flows and stockholders' deficit for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from April 4, 2006 (Date of Inception) to May 31, 2010.2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Buckingham Exploration Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of May 31, 20102009 and 2009,2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from April 4, 2006 (Date of Inception) to May 31, 20102009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.  Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
 
Buckingham Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 4, 2006. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards BoardStandard (“FASB”SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, and Reporting for Development Stage Entities.Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company doeshas not presently have anydetermined whether its properties contain mineral properties.reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at May 31, 2010,2009, the Company has a working capital deficit of $374,038 and an accumulated deficit of $7,321,429.$7,062,250. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going c oncern.concern. These financial statementsstate ments do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
As at May 31, 2010, the Company had $2,194 cash in the bank.  The Company requires a minimum of $965,000 to proceed with their plan of operations overCompany’s plans for the next twelve months.  If they achieve less thanmonths are to focus on the full amountexploration of financingits mineral properties in British Columbia and Colorado and estimates that they require theycash requirements of approximately $4,425,000 will scale back plannedbe required for exploration activities and dayadministration costs and to day operations in order to reduce exploration expenses and general and administrative expenses to a level appropriate to the financial resources available.fund working capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds to pay the expected operating expenses for the next twelve months.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a)  Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.  Until August 27, 2009, theThe consolidated financial statements includedinclude the accounts toof the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hyde Park Uranium, Inc. and Alpha Beta Uranium, Inc.  The Company entered into an agreement dated August 27, 2009 for the settlement of the outstanding convertible debenture described in Note 8.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to transfer all of the issuedAll intercompany balances and outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hyde Park Uranium, Inc and Alpha Beta Uranium, Inc., and all of the property and equipment and mineral properties of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to Regal to settle the converti ble debenture.transactions have been eliminated.  The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.
 
(b)  Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long lived assets, stock-based compensation expense, secured convertible debentures and deferred income tax asset allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for ma kingmaking judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
 
(c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
 
(d)  Property and Equipment

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(e)  Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Sharewhich". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted 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 exclude sexc ludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. A total of 12,500 (2009 – 25,200) outstanding warrants and nil (2009 – 7,562) options outstanding have been excluded from the year endedAs at May 31, 2010 and 2009, as they would be anti-dilutive.the Company had 23,105,000 anti-dilutive securities outstanding.

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 probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 
(h)  Asset Retirement Obligations

(i)  Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with ASC 360, SFAS No. 144, “Property Plant and Equipment,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

(j)  Financial Instruments
 
ASC 825, SFAS No. 157 “Financial Instruments,Fair Value Measurements requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1
 
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2
 
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
Level 3
 
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, receivables, accounts payable and loans payable.

secured convertible debentures. Pursuant to ASC 825,SFAS No. 157, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Secured convertible notes are valued based on “Level 2” inputs, consisting of quoted prices in less active markets.  The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
 
(k)  Income Taxes
 
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes as”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of its inception. Pursuanttemporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to ASC 740reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the Companyamount that is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it isbelieved more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

(n)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SE C accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. The objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This statement addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and (2) concern about the application of certain key provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB No. 140”. The object of this statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement addresses (1) practices that have developed since the issuance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. SFAS No. 166 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. The disclosure provisions of this statement should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this statement. The adoption of this statement i s not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, SFAS No. 165,Subsequent Events “Subsequent Events”., which SFAS 165 establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date and through the date that the financial statements are issued.date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 855 didSFAS 165 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In June 2009,2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(n)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by theSFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, butStatement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to simplify user accessimprove financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literatureenable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related to a particular topic in one place.hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financia l statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of ASC 105this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is proh ibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities –an Amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impacteffect on the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standardsstatements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The Company has implemented all newobjective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statementsrequire or permit fair value measurements and does not believe that thererequire any new fair value measurements.

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
None.Manning Elliott Chartered Accountants, of 1050 West Pender Street, 11th floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3S7, serves as our independent registered public accountant and served in this capacity since our inception on April 4, 2006. Our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2009 have been included in this annual report in reliance upon Manning Elliott Chartered Accountants, as an expert in accounting and auditing. We have had no disagreements with Manning Elliott Chartered Accountants.
 
Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our sole officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of MayDecember 31, 2010.2008.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
Based on that evaluation, and the material weaknesses outlined below underin our Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,Report, our sole officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to our sole executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting.  Under the supervision of our sole officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 20102009 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2010,2009, the Company determined that there were significant deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
 
1.
Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses. The Company has a sole officer/director, and does not have a majority of independent directors on its board orand has no audit committee. The Company has no policy on fraud and no code of ethics at this time.

All cash management is conducted by our sole officer, with may result in misappropriation of funds.
 
3.
The lack of independent directors exercising an oversight role increases the risk of management override and potential fraud.
 
4.The Company is in the development stage with limited resources and limited monitoring of internal control and assessment of risk is conducted.

Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.

In light of the existence of these control deficiencies, management concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

As a result, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 20102009 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
 
Manning Elliott LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, iswas not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 20102009 pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control
On September 25, 2009, we implemented an audit committee comprised of our sole director, C. Robin Relph. The audit committee adopted an audit committee charter governing the duties of the audit committee.

During the quarter ended May 31, 2010,2009 there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence
We currently have one director, who is not considered to be independent under applicable SEC rules.
Nominating Committee
Given our size and limited financial resources, we have not implemented a nominating committee. Our current director considers nominations to our board. We have not implemented any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors during the twelve months ended May 31, 2010.
Audit Committee
On September 25, 2009, we implemented an audit committee currently comprised of our sole director. The audit committee adopted an audit committee charter governing the duties of the audit committee. In accordance with the audit committee charter, our audit committee is responsible for: (1) the selection and oversight of our independent auditors; (2) the selection, evaluation and recommendation to the Board, for shareholder approval, of the auditor to examine our accounts, controls and financial statements; (3) recommending to the Board the compensation to be paid to our external auditors; (4) pre-approval of all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor to us or our subsidiaries; (5) oversight of the work of the auditor; (6) review of our audited consolidated financial statements, interim financial statements, our management’s discussi on and analysis,  and recommendation of their approval to the Board; and (7) review and consideration of any significant reports and recommendations issued by our auditors. A copy of our audit committee charter is filed as an exhibit to this report.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have an audit committee financial expert as we believe that the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we have limited operations at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions as we currently have limited financial resources and only one director and officer.  We plan to adopt a code of ethics as our business develops and we appoint additional directors and officers.
