Significant components of the Company’s deferred income tax assets are as follows:

Valuation allowance    18,207     1,180  
Net deferred tax assets  $  -   $  -  

Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $18,207 at August 31, 2008 attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward of $52,019 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The $52,019 net operating loss carryforward expires $3,372 in year 2027, and $48,647 in year 2028.

Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

     This section of this report includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Plan of Operation

     We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business activities.

     Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. Our success or failure will be determined by what we find under the ground.

     To meet our need for cash we must raise money in order to operate. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will have to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. We do not have enough money to conduct exploration activities on the property. Currently we have to find alternative sources of capital, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our sole officer or others.

     Our sole officer and director may be unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money except to cover expenses relating to reclamation if materialized material is not found at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we can't raise additional money, we will cease activities entirely.

     We have the right to conduct exploration activities on one property. Even if we complete our current exploration program and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve.

     We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the property subject to receipt of additional capital. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of our S-1 registration statement. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until have located a reserve and we have determined it is economical to extract the minerals from the land.

 

-9-


     We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.

     We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conduct by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

Milestones

     The milestones are as follows:

     1. Raise capital in order to operate.

     2. Retain our consultant to manage the exploration of the property. - Maximum cost of $5,000. Time of retention 0-90 days.

     3. Trenching. Trenching will cost approximately $14,000 and will be conducted by unrelated subcontractors. Trenching includes grid installation, metal detection, sample collecting and shipping the samples for testing.

     4. Have an independent third party analyze the samples. We estimate that it will cost $2,000 to analyze the samples and will take 30 days.

     We have no money at the present time and cannot operate until we raise additional capital.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

     There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from activities. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

     To become profitable and competitive, we have to conduct research and exploration of the property before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking additional equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases.

 

 

 

-10-


     We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Since inception, we have issued 9,960,000 shares of our common stock and received $45,600.

     As of the date of this report, we appear to be insolvent and it appears we do not have capital to operate, but our president will be injecting more funds into the Company to keep it operational.

     In September 2007, we issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director, Tareq Hinawy, pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The purchase price of the shares was $6,000. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares. Tareq Hinawy covered some of our initial expenses for incorporation documents, administrative costs, and courier costs. The amount owed to Mr. Hinawy is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. Further the agreement with Mr. Hinawy is oral and there is no written document evidencing the agreement.

     In December 2007, we issued 3,960,000 shares of common stock to 44 individuals in consideration of $39,600.

     As of August 31, 2008, our total assets were $0 and our total liabilities were $6,419, including a negative bank balance of $440.

 
ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.

     We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal 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 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls

     We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.
