1. Organization

Touchstone Mining Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 12, 2005 in the State of Nevada, USA, and is based in Miami, Florida. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is September 30.

The Company was initially incorporated for the purpose of engaging in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral resource properties. The Company has obtained the right to conduct exploration work on ten mineral mining claims in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA. Prior to this, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, the raising of equity capital, and its mining exploration work program. Although the Company has not disposed of its interest in its mining properties (Note 5), it has discontinued exploration on the property and is actively seeking other ventures of interest that may include, but not be limited to, mergers, acquisitions, or similar transactions.

Development Stage Company

The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $13,246 and $7,591 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on September 12, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It has been primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Start-Up Costs

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

Net Income or (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement Number 128, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Net loss applicable to common shares	$	(16,900	)	$	(17,908	)	$	(41,915	)	$	(38,900	)

Warrants		-			-			-			-
Weighted average common shares
outstanding (Basic and Diluted)		6,238,889			6,238,889			6,238,889			6,173,769

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

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

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Environmental Expenditures

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

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which became effective on November 13, 2008, identified the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Statement 162 arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority, effectively superseding Statement 162. In other words, the GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative. As a result, this Statement replaces Statement 162 to indicate this change to the GAAP hierarchy. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” This Statement is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. The Board undertook this project to address (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 FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 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 shall be 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.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” 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. The Board undertook this project to address (1) practices that have developed since the issuance of FASB Statement 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. This Statement 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets forth: (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. In accordance with this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133.” The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years. Constituents have expressed concerns that the existing disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Accordingly, this Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective in the first fiscal year that begins after October 1, 2009 for the Company.

None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but will be implemented in the Company’s future financial reporting when applicable.

3. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized Stock

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.

Share Issuances

Since inception (September 12, 2005), the Company has issued 3,100,000 common shares at $0.02 per share for $62,000 in cash, and 138,889 common shares at $0.36 per share for $50,000 in cash, for total proceeds of $112,000. The Company also issued 3,000,000 common shares at $0.01 per share in satisfaction of debt of $34,502. There were 6,238,889 common shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2009.

4. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under SFAS No. 109 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Minimal development stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carryforwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carryforwards generated during the period from September 12, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30, 2009 of $217,416 will begin to expire in 2025. Accordingly, deferred tax assets of approximately $75,000 (assuming an effective maximum statutory rate of 35%) were offset by the valuation allowance, which increased by approximately $13,600 and $9,100 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on October 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company has no tax positions at June 30, 2009 and 2008 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at June 30, 2009 or 2008.

5. Mineral Property Costs

By agreement dated November 23, 2005 with Mineral Exploration Services Ltd. (“MES”), the Company acquired an option to acquire a 100% interest in certain properties consisting of 10 unpatented mineral claims, known as the Boulder Claims (the “Property”) located in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA.

(A Development Stage Company)

Interim Notes to Financial Statements

Upon execution of the agreement, MES transferred 100% interest in the mineral claims to the Company for $50,000 to be paid, at the Company’s option, as follows:

	Cash Payments
Upon signing of the agreement and transfer of title (paid)	$	3,500
On or before November 23, 2006 (paid)		3,500
On or before November 23, 2007		8,000
On or before November 23, 2008		10,000
On or before November 23, 2009		10,000
On or before November 23, 2010		15,000
	$	50,000

In August 2007, the Company reached an agreement with MES, whereby MES relinquished its rights to the Property but whereby kept its interest. During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company proceeded to stake the claims in its own name. The Company is no longer obligated to make the payments outlined above for 2007 through 2010, and is only responsible for maintaining the mineral claims in good standing by paying all the necessary rents, taxes, and filing fees associated with the Property. As of June 30, 2009, the Company met these obligations.

5. Mineral Property Costs (continued)

Although the Company has not disposed of its interest in the Property, it has discontinued exploration and is currently evaluating its options and is seeking other ventures of interest.

A $4,330 reclamation bond has been paid to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the State of Nevada. This bond will be held by the BLM until such time as it determines that the mineral property has been properly reclaimed and indigenous species of plants have been planted and are growing. Given the uncertainty of any future exploration and/or additional work on the property, that the Company will perform and the additional time needed before a BLM inspector can view the property, this bond has been accounted for as a non-current asset. Management estimates the costs to restore the property will be nominal and that the entire bond will be recovered as a result.

6. Note Payable

On May 8, 2009 the Company received an $80,000 unsecured loan from an individual and in connection therewith issued an 8.25% $80,000 convertible promissory note dated May 8, 2009. If not converted, interest and principal are due at maturity on November 8, 2010. Interest expense and accrued interest as of and for the period ended June 30, 2009 totaled $958. The terms of conversion have not been determined but will be mutually determined by the Company and the holder.

7. Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $75,244 and an accumulated deficit of $217,416. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.

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

8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through August 14, 2009 and determined there are no items to disclose.

General Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 12, 2005 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral deposits and reserves. On November 23, 2005 we entered into a Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mineral Exploration Services, Ltd. (“MES”) pursuant to which we acquired an option to purchase certain unpatented mineral mining claims. The related property consisted of ten lode mineral claims located on approximately 200 acres in Humboldt County, Nevada. Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to pay MES an aggregate of $50,000 over five years and to make exploration expenditures on the property of $50,000 over the same five year period. During the initial exploration, no commercial quantities of gold or other minerals were discovered and in August 2007, we ceased exploration on the prospect. On August 16, 2007 we notified MES of our intention to return the property via a quit claim deed. At that time, MES informed us that it no longer wanted to retain the claim or the property and MES subsequently allowed such claim to lapse. Our Agreement with MES was terminated as of September 16, 2007. At the time of the termination, we had paid MES an aggregate of $7,000 under the Agreement. In October 2007, we re-staked the claims in the property and paid the necessary fees to the Bureau of Land Management. The lease to the property is currently in our name. We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the property. Our management has no current plans for the property at this time, and all of our exploration operations have been discontinued. Following the discontinuation of our planned mineral acquisition, exploration and development activities through the present, we have determined to look at other ventures of merit to enhance stockholder value. These ventures may involve sales of our debt or equity security in merger, acquisition, or similar transactions. To date, we have achieved no operating revenues and have yet to engage in any such ventures.

Results of Operations

We conducted no material operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and do not have any present operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we generated no revenues, had total operating expenses of $15,944 and incurred a net loss of $16,900. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 we generated no revenues, had total operating expenses of $40,971 and incurred a net loss of $41,915.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception. We have minimal assets and have achieved no operating revenues since our inception. We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations. As of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, we had cash of $13,246 and $7,591, current assets of $13,250 and $7,591 and current liabilities of $88,494 and $40,920, respectively. Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations.

Plan of Operation

We were formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral deposits and reserves. We conducted minimal operations in this line of business and in August 2007 decided to discontinue operations in this area. We are presently inactive, but we are looking at ventures of merit for corporate participation as a means of enhancing stockholder value. This may involve sales of our equity or debt securities in merger or acquisition transactions.

We have minimal operating costs and expenses at the present time due to our limited business activities. Accordingly, absent changed circumstances, we will not be required to raise significant capital over the next twelve months, although we may do so in connection with or in anticipation of possible acquisition transactions. We do not currently engage in any product research and development and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We have no present plans to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We also have no present plans to add employees although we may do so in the future if we engage in any merger or acquisition transactions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
