1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
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 StandardStandards Board (“SFAS”FASB”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting for Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage EnterprisesEntities.  The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company does not presently have any mineral properties.
 
These 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 August 31,November 30, 2009, the Company has a working capital deficit of $247,585 and an accumulated deficit of $6,721,009.$6,765,536. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements 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.
 
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.
 
The Company currently trades on the OTCBB under the symbol ‘BUKX.OB’.

(b)  
Interim Financial Statements
 
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended May 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 15, 2009 with the SEC.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 15, 2009 with the SEC.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c)  
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 making 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.
 
(d)  
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.

(e)  
Property and Equipment
(d)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
Property and equipment comprised of office furniture and motor vehicles are recorded at cost and amortized using the declining balance method at 25% per annum.
 
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
(f)  
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which 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 common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, 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 excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. 6,580,000 outstanding warrants and 3,025,000 options issuable have been excluded from the three month ended August 31, 2009 calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.
(e)  Property and Equipment
Property and equipment comprised of office furniture and motor vehicles are recorded at cost and amortized using the declining balance method at 25% per annum.
(f)  Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share which 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 common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, 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 excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. A total of 5,030,000 (2008 – 14,380,000) outstanding warrants and 3,025,000 (2008 – 3,025,000) options outstanding issuable have been excluded from the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.
Components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six month period ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

(h)  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. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. 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.
(i)  Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of assets in accordance with ASC 440 Asset Retirement and Environmental  Obligations. The initial recognition of any liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. To date, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations.
(j)  Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment 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.

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. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. 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.

(k)  Financial Instruments
 
F-7ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 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 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 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 within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS 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, and accounts payable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157,The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, receivables, and accounts payable.

Pursuant to ASC 825, 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. 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.
 
(l)  
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary 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 reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
 
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, Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company 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 is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
(m)  
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, 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 six month period ended November 30, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $nil (2008 - $91,484) as general and administrative expense.
(n)  Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 740 Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

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-SEC 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 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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. 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. Refer to Note 11.
 
In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165,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 “Subsequent Events”. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet 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 SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2008, the 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 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
(o)  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable 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 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 financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement did not 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 prohibited. The adoption of this statement did not 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 did not have a material effect on the Company's future financial statements.

During the option period, the Company has full access to the property to conduct an exploration and drill program to ascertain whether it wishes to exercise its option. The Company must also pay a production royalty of approximately 5% of the net returns generated by the Company from the exploration of the property. As it has not been determined whether there are proven or probable reserves on the property, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $100,000 of mineral property acquisition costs for the year ended May 31, 2008.

Business Overview
 
Buckingham Exploration Inc. (“Buckingham”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as a Nevada company on April 4, 2006. We have been engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties since our inception. We havesold our two wholly owned subsidiaries, Hyde Park Uranium Inc. and Alpha Beta Uranium Inc., Colorado corporations through which we have acquired mineral claims in the state of Colorado. Currently we are looking for other mineral properties to acquire. Our common stock became eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 8, 2007 under the ticker symbol “BUKX.OB”.
 
Uncertainties
 
Our most advanced projects
We are at thecurrently reviewing numerous properties in a search for suitable acquisition targets to initiate an exploration stage andprogram. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in locating prospective mining claim and that any of our miningthese claims contain a commercially viable ore body. We plan to undertake further exploration of our properties. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue full exploration of these claims. We do not have sufficient financing to undertake acquisition and exploration of ournew mineral claims at present and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing.
 
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our future mineral properties. Further exploration beyond the scope of our planned exploration activities will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility of mining of any of our properties is determined. There is no assurance that further exploration will result in a final evaluation that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties.

As at August 31,November 30, 2009, we had nominal cash of $539$2,618 in the bank.  Based on our planned expenditures, we require a minimum of $965,000 to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months (beginning SeptemberDecember 1, 2009).  If we achieve less than the full amount of financing that we require we will scale back our planned exploration activities and our day to day operations in order to reduce our exploration expenses and general and administrative expenses to a level appropriate to the financial resources available to us.
 
On September 24, 2008, we entered into convertible debenture purchase agreements and granted 5,000,000 warrants to purchase one share each of Buckingham’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for a period of 2 years. The total amount invested in Buckingham was $500,000. The principal and accrued interest of the convertible debentures could be converted into common stock at the holder’s option at a price of $0.05 per share any time on or after October 25, 2008 until the full amount owed under each convertible debenture is repaid. Buckingham had reserved a minimum of 5,000,000 common shares pursuant to the holders’ options to have the convertible debentures repaid in shares.
 
Buckingham had the option, for a period of one year after September 24, 2008, of repaying any amounts borrowed and re-borrowing any amounts repaid under the convertible debentures without penalty or premium. The outstanding principal of the convertible debentures and interest accrued thereon at a rate of 10% per annum is repayable in equal monthly installments over a 24 month period starting one year after September 24, 2008. The convertible debentures carried a security interest in all current and future assets of Buckingham and its subsidiaries.
 
The debenture was secured by a security interest in all our current and future assets and assets of our subsidiaries.
 
On June 5, 2009, we entered into agreements with debenture holders to issue 33,820,000 restricted common shares to settle interest accrued up to May 31, 2009 in the amount of $33,820. We issued 10,146,0001,0146,00 restricted common shares to one of the debenture holders. We further issued 23,674,0002,367,400 restricted common shares to two debenture holders on September 21, 2009.

Future Financings
 
We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. We will not generate revenues even if our exploration program indicates that a mineral deposit may exist on our future mineral claims. Accordingly, we will be dependent on future additional financing in order to acquire new prospective claims, maintain our operations and continue our exploration activities.
8

 
We will require additional financing in order to proceed with acquisition and the exploration of our  mineral properties. We plan to complete private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings.
 
If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our prospective acquisitions, exploration activities and administrative expenses in order to stay within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate that we would defer drilling programs and certain acquisitions pending our obtaining additional financing. Still, even in light of our plan to scale back our operations, if we do not achieve additional financing, our current cash and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and our interests in our mineral properties for the next twelve months.
 
Product Research and Development
 
We do not anticipate spending any material amounts in connection with product research and development activities during the next twelve months.
 
Acquisition of Plant and Equipment and Other Assets
 
We do not anticipate the sale or acquisition of any material properties, plant or equipment during the next twelve months. We are currently actively reviewing potential mineral properties to acquire. Any acquisitions are subject to obtaining additional financing.
 
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, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Inflation
 
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of the significant accounting policies is included in note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009 filed in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 making 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.
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. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, 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 six month period ended November 30, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $nil (2008 - $91,484) as general and administrative expense.
 
Audit Committee
 
The functions of the audit committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined thatOn September 25, 2009, we do not haveimplemented an audit committee financial expert oncomprised of our Boardsole director, C. Robin Relph, in accordance with the requirements of Directors carrying outthe British Columbia Instrument 51-509 Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets and National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and on the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended May 31, 2009, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in internal control
