Item 1. Description of Business
Background:
Corporate History:
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2003 under the name “Computer Maid, Inc.”. On February 13, 2006, we changed our name from “Computer Maid, Inc.” to “Rose Explorations Inc.”. We are a developmental stage company. We have not earned any revenues from operations.
In February 2006, we acquired the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim in Clark County Nevada and in June 2006, we staked the Rose Prospect II Lode Mining Claim adjacent to the west of the Rose Lode Claim to cover other indicated mineralized zones observed in that area. From February 2006, we have been an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties.
On March 4, 2008, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation. As a result, we have changed our name from “Rose Explorations Inc.” to “Silverstar Mining Corp.” We changed the name of our company to better reflect the direction and business of our company.
In addition, on March 4, 2008 we effected a three (3) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital has increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 225,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a joint venture agreement with New Jersey Mining Co. to acquire a 50% interest in the Silver Strand silver mine located in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District.
On June 13, 2008, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Silverdale Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation, and the shareholders of Silverdale Mining Corp. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock in the capital of Silverdale Mining Corp. occurred on July 24, 2008. In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued 4,334,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Silverdale Mining Corp. in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of all of the 4,334,000 issued and outstanding shares of Silverdale Mining Corp.
On September 2, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with Gold Canyon Partners, LLP pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase a 100% interest in a mining property commonly known as the Cobalt Canyon Gold Project, in the Chief District, located in Lincoln County, Nevada.
On October 10, 2009, we closed a private placement consisting of 950,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $237,500. We issued 570,000 shares to 6 non-US persons pursuant to an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We issued 380,000 shares to 3 US persons pursuant to the exemption from registration provided for under Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
General:
We currently have no operations.
Since we no longer have operations, our focus will be to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination (a "Business Combination") with an operating or development stage business (the "Target Business") which desires to utilize our status as a reporting corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). We intend to seek potential business opportunities and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business with significant growth potential which, in the opinion of our management, could provide a profit to both the Company and our shareholders. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long term growth as opposed to short term earnings. Our efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business are expected to emphasize businesses primarily located in the United States; however, we reserve the right to acquire a Target Business located elsewhere. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target Business, as a result of our limited resources, we will, in all likelihood, have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. We may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. The Company’s expertise is in the mining sector and the focus will most likely remain concentrate in the mining sector. However, we will not restrict our search to the mining industry, any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Our management may become involved in management of the Target Business and/or may hire qualified but as yet unidentified individuals to manage such Target Business. Presently, we have no plans, proposals, agreements, understandings or arrangements to acquire any asset or merge with any specific business or company, and we have not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation.
"Shell" Corporation
We were previously a developmental stage company with limited operations. Currently, we have virtually no business operations and expect to conduct none in the future, other than our efforts to effectuate a Business Combination. As a result we can be characterized as a "shell" corporation. As a shell corporation, we face special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. We face all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties related to such companies. We are dependent upon our management to effectuate a Business Combination. Assuming management is successful in identifying a Business Combination, it is unlikely our shareholders will have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more Business combinations and will have no control over the decision making relating to such.
Due to our limited capital resources, the consummation of a Business Combination will likely involve the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation with, a company that does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for our shares, while avoiding what it might deem to be the adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various federal and state securities laws that regulate initial public offerings. A Target Business might desire, among other reasons, to create a public market for their shares in order to enhance liquidity for current shareholders, facilitate raising capital through the public sale of securities of which a prior existence of a public market for our securities exists, and/or acquire additional assets through the issuance of securities rather than for cash.
We cannot estimate the time that it will take to effectuate a Business Combination. It could be time consuming; possibly in excess of many months. Additionally, no assurance can be made that we will be able to effectuate a Business Combination on favorable terms. We might identify and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business which proves to be unsuccessful for any number of reasons, many of which are due to the fact that the Target Business is not identified at this time. If this occurs, the Company and our shareholders might not realize any type of profit.
Unspecified Industry and Target Business
We will not limit our search to companies engaged in mining. Rather, we will seek to acquire a Target Business without limiting ourselves to a particular industry. Most likely, the Target Business will be primarily located in the United States, although we reserve the right to acquire a Target Business located outside the United States. In seeking a Target Business, we will consider, without limitation, businesses which (i) offer or provide services or develop, manufacture or distribute goods in the United States or abroad, including, without limitation, in the following areas: mining, internet services, real estate, health care and health products, educational services, environmental services, consumer-related products and services (including amusement, entertainment and/or recreational services), personal care services, voice and data information processing and transmission and related technology development (ii) is engaged in wholesale or retail distribution or (iii) is engaged in manufacturing, construction, alternative energy production, mining or exploration operations. To date, we have not selected any particular industry or any Target Business in which to concentrate our Business Combination efforts. Accordingly, we are only able to make general disclosures concerning the risks and hazards of effectuating a Business Combination with a Target Business since there is presently no current basis for us to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the Target Business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate.
To the extent that we effect a Business Combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth (including entities without established records of sales or earnings), we will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a Business Combination with a Target Business in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries which experience rapid growth. Although management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or Target Business, there can be no assurances that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
Probable Lack of Business Diversification
As a result of our limited resources, in all likelihood, we will have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, our prospects for success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business.
Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several Business Combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, it is highly unlikely that we will have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from spreading risks or offsetting losses. Our probable lack of diversification could subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination. The prospects for our success may become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. Accordingly, notwithstanding the possibility of management assistance to the Target Business by us, there can be no assurance that the Target Business will prove to be commercially viable.
Limited Ability to Evaluate Target Business' Management
While our ability to successfully effect a Business Combination will be dependent upon certain key personnel, the future role of such personnel in the Target Business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. There can be no assurance that current management will remain associated in any operational capacity with the Company following a Business Combination. Moreover, there can be no assurances that current management will have any experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular Target Business. Furthermore, although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective Target Business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a Business Combination, there can be no assurances that our assessment of such management will prove to be correct, especially since none of our management are professional business analysts.
Accordingly, we will be dependant, in some significant respects, on the ability of the management of the Target Business who are unidentifiable as of the date hereof. In addition, there can be no assurances that such future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. We may also seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the Target Business. There can be no assurances that we will have the ability to recruit such additional managers, or that such additional managers will have the requisite skill, knowledge or experience necessary or desirable to enhance the incumbent management.
Opportunity for Shareholder Evaluation or Approval of Business Combinations
Our shareholders will, in all likelihood, not receive nor otherwise have the opportunity to evaluate any financial or other information which will be made available to us in connection with selecting a potential Business Combination until after we have entered into an agreement to effectuate a Business Combination. Such agreement to effectuate a Business Combination, however, may be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to applicable law. As a result, our shareholders will be almost entirely dependent on the judgment and experience of management in connection with the selection and ultimate consummation of a Business Combination. In addition, under Nevada law, the form of Business Combination could impact upon the availability of dissenters' rights (i.e., the right to receive fair payment with respect to the Company's Common Stock) to shareholders disapproving the proposed Business Combination.
Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination
We anticipate that the selection of a Target Business will be complex and risky because of competition for such business opportunities among all segments of the financial community. The nature of our search for the acquisition of a Target Business requires maximum flexibility inasmuch as we will be required to consider various factors and circumstances which may preclude meaningful direct comparison among the various business enterprises, products or services investigated. Investors should recognize that the possible lack of diversification among our acquisitions may not us to offset potential losses from one venture against profits from another. We have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective Target Business. In addition, in evaluating a prospective Target Business, management will consider, among other factors, the following factors which are not listed in any particular order:
·
|
financial condition and results of operation of the Target Business;
|
·
|
growth potential and projected financial performance of the Target Business and the industry in which it operates;
|
·
|
experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel of the Target Business;
|
·
|
capital requirements of the Target Business;
|
·
|
the availability of a transaction exemption from registration pursuant to the Securities Act for the Business Combination;
|
·
|
the location of the Target Business;
|
·
|
competitive position of the Target Business;
|
·
|
stage of development of the product, process or service of the Target Business;
|
·
|
degree of current or potential market acceptance of the product, process or service of the Target Business;
|
·
|
possible proprietary features and possible other protection of the product, process or service of the Target Business;
|
·
|
regulatory environment of the industry in which the Target Business operates;
|
·
|
costs associated with effecting the Business Combination; and
|
·
|
equity interest in and possible management participation in the Target Business.
|
The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive; any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular Business Combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by us in connection with effecting a Business Combination consistent with our business objective. In many instances, it is anticipated that the historical operations of a Target Business may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the possible need to shift marketing approaches substantially, expand significantly, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other changes.
We will be dependent upon the owners of a Target Business to identify any such problems which may exist and to implement, or be primarily responsible for the implementation of, required changes. Because we may engage in a Business Combination with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new phase of growth, we will incur further risks, because in many instances, management of the Target Business will not have proven its abilities or effectiveness, the eventual market for the products or services of the Target Business will likely not be established, and the Target Business may not be profitable subsequent to a Business Combination.
Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a Target Business before we commit our capital or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds available to it, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated with the business opportunity seeking our participation.
In connection with our evaluation of a prospective Target Business, management anticipates that it will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial or other information which will be made available to us. The time and costs required to select and evaluate a Target Business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate the Business Combination (including negotiating relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Management only devotes a small portion of their time to the operations of the Company, and accordingly, consummation of a Business Combination may require a greater period of time than if management devoted its full time to the Company's affairs.
However management will devote such time as they deem reasonably necessary, to carry out the business and affairs of the Company, including the evaluation of potential Target Businesses and the negotiation of a Business Combination and, as a result, the amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether we have identified a Target Business or are engaged in active negotiations of a Business Combination. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective Target Business with which a Business Combination is not ultimately consummated will result in a loss to the Company and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a Business Combination or for the resulting entity to utilize. In the event we deplete our cash reserves, we might be forced to cease operations and a Business Combination might not occur.
We anticipate that we will locate and make contact with Target Businesses primarily through the reputation and efforts of management, who will meet personally with existing management and key personnel, visit and inspect material facilities, assets, products and services belonging to such prospects, and undertake such further reasonable investigation as they deem appropriate. Management has a network of business contacts and believes that prospective Target Businesses will be referred to the Company through this network of contacts.
We also expect that many prospective Target Businesses will be brought to our attention from various other non-affiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, and other members of the financial community. We have neither the present intention, nor does the present potential exist for us, to consummate a Business Combination with a Target Business in which our management, promoters, or their affiliates or associates directly or indirectly have a pecuniary interest, although no existing corporate policies would prevent this from occurring. Although there are no current plans to do so, we may engage the services of professional firms that specialize in finding business acquisitions and pay a finder's fee or other compensation. Since we have no current plans to utilize any outside consultants or advisors to assist in a Business Combination, no policies have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or regarding the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, because of our limited resources, it is likely that any such fee we agree to pay would be paid in stock and not in cash. In no event will we pay a finder's fee or commission to any officer or director or to any entity with which they are affiliated for such service.
As a general rule, Federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. We will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective Business Combination and will endeavor to structure a Business Combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment for us, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of a particular consummated Business Combination.
To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a Business Combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to us, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. Tax considerations as well as other relevant factors will be evaluated in determining the precise structure of a particular Business Combination, which could be effected through various forms of a merger, consolidation or stock or asset acquisition.
We will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. To the extent that such additional shares are issued, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur. Additionally, if a substantial number of shares of Common Stock are issued in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, a change in our control is likely to occur which will likely affect, among other things, our ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards, if any.
Any such change in control may also result in the resignation or removal of our present officer and director. If there is a change in management, no assurance can be given as to the experience or qualification of such persons, either in the operation of our activities or in the operation of the business, assets or property being acquired. Management considers it likely that in order to consummate a Business Combination, a change in control will occur; therefore, management anticipates offering a controlling interest to a Target Business in order to effectuate a Business Combination.
Management may actively negotiate for or otherwise consent to the disposition of any portion of their Common Stock as a condition to or in connection with a Business Combination. Therefore, it is possible that the terms of any Business Combination will provide for the sale of some shares of Common Stock held by management. It is likely that none of our other shareholders will be afforded the right to sell their shares of Common Stock in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to the same terms that Management will be provided. There are currently no limitations relating to our ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to us to effect a Business Combination or otherwise finance the operations of the Target Business. However, our limited resources and lack of operating history could make it difficult for us to borrow additional funds from other sources. The amount and nature of any borrowings by us will depend on numerous considerations, including our capital requirements, potential lenders' evaluation of our ability to meet debt service on borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. We do not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that such arrangements if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms commercially acceptable or otherwise in our best interests. Our inability to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate a Business Combination, or to provide funds for an additional infusion of capital into a Target Business, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to effect a Business Combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, a Target Business may have already incurred debt financing and, therefore, all the risks inherent thereto.
If our securities are issued as part of an acquisition, such securities are required to be issued either in reliance upon exemptions from registration under applicable federal or state securities laws or registered for public distribution. We intend to primarily target only those companies where an exemption from registration would be available; however, since the structure of the Business Combination has yet to be determined, no assurances can be made that we will be able to rely on such exemptions. Registration of securities typically requires significant costs and time delays are typically encountered. In addition, the issuance of additional securities and their potential sale in any trading market which might develop in our Common Stock, of which there is presently no trading market and no assurances can be given that one will develop, could depress the price of our Common Stock in any market which may develop in our Common Stock. Further, such issuance of additional securities would result in a decrease in the percentage ownership of present shareholders.
Due to our small size and limited amount of capital, our ability to raise additional capital if and when needed could be constrained. Until such time as any enterprise, product or service which we acquire generates revenues sufficient to cover operating costs, it is conceivable that we could find ourselves in a situation where it needs additional funds in order to continue our operations. This need could arise at a time when we are unable to borrow funds and when market acceptance for the sale of additional shares of our Common Stock does not exist.
Conflicts of Interest
Management is not required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, such persons may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. Our affiliates, officers and directors may engage in other business activities similar and dissimilar to those we are engaged in. To the extent that management engages in such other activities, they will have possible conflicts of interest in diverting opportunities to other companies, entities or persons with which they are or may be associated or have an interest, rather than diverting such opportunities to us. As no policy has been established for the resolution of such a conflict, we could be adversely affected should management choose to place their other business interests before ours. No assurance can be given that such potential conflicts of interest will not cause us to lose potential opportunities. Management may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Management may have conflicts of interest in determining which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, management may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with evaluations of a particular business opportunity by the board of directors with respect to the foregoing criteria. There can be no assurances that any of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in our favor. We may consider Business Combinations with entities owned or controlled by persons other than those persons described above. There can be no assurances that any of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

We may participate in a Business Combination by purchasing, trading or selling the securities of such Target Business. We do not, however, intend to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, we intend to conduct our activities so as to avoid being classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Act"), and therefore to avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the Company may not be able to proceed with its planned operations and your investment may be lost entirely.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have extremely limited assets and no source of revenue.
We have virtually no assets and have had limited revenues since inception. We will not receive revenues until we select an industry in which to commence business or complete an acquisition, reorganization or merger. We can provide no assurance that any selected or acquired business will produce any material revenues for us or our stockholders, or that any such business will operate on a profitable basis.
We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a merger or other business combination with a private company. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase unless we consummate a business combination with a profitable business. We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination, or that any such business will be profitable at the time of its acquisition by the Company or ever.
We face a number of risks associated with potential acquisitions, including the possibility that we may incur substantial debt which could adversely affect our financial condition.
We intend to use reasonable efforts to complete a merger or other business combination with an operating business. Such combination will be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in acquisitions, including, but not limited to, difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired companies and insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions we make could harm our business, our strategy and our operating results in a material way. Additionally, completing a business combination is likely to increase our expenses and it is possible that we may incur substantial debt in order to complete a business combination, which can adversely affect our financial condition. Incurring a substantial amount of debt may require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on the debt, which will reduce the amount available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general purposes. Our indebtedness may negatively impact our ability to operate our business and limit our ability to borrow additional funds by increasing our borrowing costs, and impact the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in possible future debt agreements, including the addition of more restrictive covenants; impact our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business as covenants and restrictions contained in possible future debt arrangements may require that we meet certain financial tests and place restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and place us at a disadvantage compared to similar companies in our industry that have less debt.
Future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition.
The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is a consequent risk of loss of an investment in the Company. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of a yet to be identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.
Management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate.
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting limited time to our affairs. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.
There can be no assurance that we will successfully consummate a business combination.
We can give no assurances that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms. At the date of this filing, we have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination.
The terms for any future business combination that involve related parties or affiliates may not be on terms that are comparable to what could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
Our management and affiliates will play an integral role in establishing the terms for any future business combination. We do not have policies and procedures in place to govern transactions with related parties or affiliates, accordingly, these transactions may be negotiated between related parties without “arms length” bargaining and, as a result, the terms of these transactions may be different than transactions negotiated between unrelated persons.
We may face adverse tax consequences.
To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a Business Combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to us, the Target Business and their respective stockholders. Tax considerations as well as other relevant factors will be evaluated in determining the precise structure of a particular Business Combination, which could be effected through various forms of a merger, consolidation or stock or asset acquisition.
Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting, are costly.
The Company currently has no business that produces revenues; however, the rules and regulations pursuant to the Exchange Act require a public company to provide periodic reports which will require the Company to engage legal, accounting and auditing services. The engagement of such services can be costly and the Company is likely to incur losses which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require the Company to establish and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the limited time that management will devote to the Company may make it difficult for the Company to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.
Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If we enter into a business combination with a foreign company, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargos, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.
We will need to raise additional capital.
We will require additional financing. Any debt or equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, would increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. We may be required to raise additional capital, at times and in amounts, which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. Under these circumstances, if we are unable to acquire additional capital or are required to raise it on terms that are less satisfactory than desired, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Stockholders and Shares of Common Stock
We have never paid dividends on our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of cash dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further our business strategy.
We cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business, our common stock will be listed on any other securities exchange.
Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on any securities exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
It is likely that our common stock will be considered “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.
The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A broker/dealer must receive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
We expect to issue more shares in a merger or acquisition, which will result in substantial dilution.
Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, our common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.
Our executive offices are currently located at the personal residence of our chief executive officer. Mr. Kleinman provides this space on a rent free basis. This office space is currently sufficient for our needs and we expect it to be sufficient for the foreseeable future or until such time as we acquire an asset or target company.

Not applicable.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by management. Actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements.
Readers are also directed to other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
We are currently a “shell” company with no operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
Introduction
Our original business plan was acquire, explore and develop mining claims. Despite the acquisition of several mining claims, we were not successful in pursuing these opportunities. We are currently a shell Company and have limited continuing operations. Our business objective is to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating or development stage business which desires to utilize our status as a reporting corporation under the Exchange Act. We will not limit our search to opportunities in the mining sector. With limited capital resources and the uncertainties in the equities market, we have chosen to expand our search for possible acquisition candidates to encompass most industries and businesses. The financial information set forth below represents the results of operations during our formulative stages and is not indicative of the likely results from any new operations.
Plan of Operation
We were an exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration of minerals on properties located in Idaho and Nevada. Due to lack of resources we were not able to develop our mining claims. Subject to financing, we may look at these or other mining claims. We will also attempt to enter into a business combination. We will not limit our search to any particular industry or geographic area. There can be no assurance that we will enter an agreement at any time in the near future. We will attempt to finance our operating expenses with additional debt or through equity financing.
Employees
Mr. Kleinman is our sole employee. We do not expect any significant changes in the number of employees until such time as we enter into a business combination. We presently conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.
Results Of Operations For Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009
We have never generated any revenues. Our operations to date have been financed by the sale of our common stock and third party loans. Our two largest expenses for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were legal and accounting totalling $40,090 and $58,533 and management fees of $18,000 and $22,000, respectively. Most of these expenses have been incurred in connection with our regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Agreement and in connection with ongoing corporate activities.
For the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 we had a net loss of $85,165 and $1,010,522. Total losses since December 5, 2003 (“Inception”) were $1,464,790.
Until we complete a business combination, we do not anticipate generating revenues, and any revenues that we generate may not be sufficient to cover our operating expenses, in which case we may have to cease operations and you may lose your entire investment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Assets and Liabilities
At September 30, 2010 we had $1,907 in cash as compared to $1,013 at September 30, 2009. Our accounts payable at September 30, 2010 was $20,374 and $16,501 on September 30, 2009. On September 30, 2010 we had convertible debentures of $17,118 and demand loans of $35,184 and convertible debentures of $15,616 and no demand loans on September 30, 2009. Our total liabilities were $95,176 on September 30, 2010 as compared to $40,617 September 30, 2009. We have a working capital deficit of $93,269 as compared to a working capital deficit of $39,604 at September 30, 2009.
We have no revenues to satisfy our ongoing liabilities. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. Unless we secure equity or debt financing, of which there can be no assurance, or identify an acquisition candidate, we will not be able to continue any operations.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Mineral property costs
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Reclamation costs
The Company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine. The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred. The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made. Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.
Long-lived assets
Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
Financial instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, convertible debentures, demand loans and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Website development costs
The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred. The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.
Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 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 excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 30 September 2010, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
Start-up expenses
The Company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 5 December 2003 to 30 September 2010.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Changes in accounting policies
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - a Scope Clarification”. ASU No. 2010-2 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation—Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB ASC, originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU No. 2010-02 was effective for the Company starting 1 January 2010. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2010-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, “Equity (ASC Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”, which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allow them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in earnings per share and is not considered a stock dividend for purposes of ASC Topic 505 and ASC Topic 260. ASU No. 2010-2 was effective for the Company starting 1 January 2010. The adoption of the ASU No. 2010-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides valuation techniques to measure fair value in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. The guidance provided in this update is effective 1 October 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. SFAS No. 167, which amends ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and eliminates the quantitative model. The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. SFAS No. 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. SFAS No. 167, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative. SFAS No. 167 was effective 1 January 2010. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement”. SFAS No. 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from ASC 860-10, “Transfers and Servicing”, and removes the exception from applying ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”. This statements also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. SFAS No. 166, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative. This statement was effective 1 January 2010. The adoption of SFAS No. 166 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for determining the useful life of an intangible assets, the new guidance, which is now part of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. In determining the useful life of intangible assets, ASC 350 removes the requirement to consider whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost of material modifications to the existing terms and conditions and, instead, requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. ASC 350 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. ASC No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed. ASC No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Silverstar Mining Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Silverstar Mining Corp. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as at 30 September 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficiency for each of the years in the three-year period ended 30 September 2010. These consolidated 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 of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 30 September 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficiency for each of the years in the three-year period ended 30 September 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Silverstar Mining Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations
|
Silverstar Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 5 December 2003. On 4 March 2008, the Company completed a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., which was incorporated by the Company solely to effect the name change of the Company to Silverstar Mining Corp. The Company was incorporated for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverdale Mining Corp. (“Silverdale”) from 24 July 2008, the date of acquisition.
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to development stage enterprises (“U.S. GAAP”), and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 30 September.
These consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2010 and for the year then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a loss of $85,165 for the year ended 30 September 2010 (2009 - $1,010,522, 2008 - $263,596) and has working capital deficit of $93,269 at 30 September 2010 (2009 - $39,604).
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favourable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
At 30 September 2010, the Company had suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Mineral property costs
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs (Note 5).
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Reclamation costs
The Company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine. The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred. The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made. Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.
Long-lived assets
Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
Financial instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, convertible debentures, demand loans and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
Derivative financial instruments
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Website development costs
The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred. The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.
Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 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 excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 30 September 2010, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
Start-up expenses
The Company has adopted ASC 720-15, “Start-Up Costs”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 5 December 2003 to 30 September 2010.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Changes in accounting policies
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-02, “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - a Scope Clarification”. ASU No. 2010-02 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation - Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB ASC, originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU No. 2010-02 was effective for the Company starting 1 January 2010. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2010-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, “Equity (ASC Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”, which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allow them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in earnings per share and is not considered a stock dividend for the purposes of ASC Topic 505 and ASC Topic 260. ASU No. 2010-01 was effective for the Company starting 1 January 2010. The adoption of the ASU No. 2010-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides valuation techniques to measure fair value in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. The guidance provided in this update is effective 1 October 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. SFAS No. 167, which amends ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and eliminates the quantitative model. The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. SFAS No. 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. SFAS No. 167, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative. SFAS No. 167 was effective 1 January 2010. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement”. SFAS No. 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from ASC 860-10, “Transfers and Servicing”, and removes the exception from applying ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”. This statement also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. SFAS No. 166, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative. This statement was effective 1 January 2010. The adoption of SFAS No. 166 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for determining the useful life of an intangible assets, which is now part of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. In determining the useful life of intangible assets, ASC 350 removes the requirement to consider whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost of material modifications to the existing terms and conditions and, instead, requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. ASC 350 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity with its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. ASU No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.
On 24 July 2008, the Company acquired Silverdale. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company was $791,860 of which $141,760 was paid in cash, and the Company issued 4,334,000 common shares of the Company valued at $650,100 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Silverdale (Notes 11 and 13). Silverdale was acquired pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement with Silverdale and the former shareholders of Silverdale dated 13 June 2008. The acquisition of Silverdale expands the Company’s business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties.
A valuation of certain assets was completed and the Company internally determined the fair value of other assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of acquired assets, standard valuation techniques were used including the market and income approach.
The purchase price allocation has been determined as follows:

Mineral Property Costs
|
Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim
During the year ended 30 September 2006, the Company acquired an interest in a mineral claim located in Clark County, Nevada (the “Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim”) for $6,375. In May 2006, the Company commissioned a geological evaluation report of the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim and in June 2006, the Company commissioned a Phase I work program as recommended by the evaluation report. During the Phase I work program, the Company staked a second claim adjacent to the west of the Rose Lode Claim to cover other indicated mineralized zones observed in that area (the “Rose Prospect II Lode Mining Claim”). The acquisition cost of $6,375 was initially capitalized as a tangible asset.
Expenditures related to the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim property for the year ended 30 September 2010 consists of an accrual recovery of expenditures of $Nil (2009 - $600, 2008 - $445).
During the year ended 30 September 2006, the Company recorded a write-down of mineral property acquisition costs of $6,375 related to the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, we assessed, as of September 30, 2010, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
We were not able to implement these controls since Mr. Kleinman serves as our sole officer and director. Until such time as the Company is able to retain a chief executive officer and/or another director, there will be deficiencies in our internal controls.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B.

Penalties or Sanctions
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors, officers or stockholders holding a sufficient number of securities to affect materially the control of the Company, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision.
Personal Bankruptcies
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors, officers or stockholders holding a sufficient number of securities to affect materially the control of the Company, nor any personal holding company of any such person has, within the last ten years become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that person.
Compensation of Directors
Our directors do not receive cash compensation for their services as directors.
Terms of Office
Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office or until the next annual general meeting of the holders of our common stock or until removed from office in accordance with our by-laws.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
For companies registered pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis for the period which this report relates.
Corporate Governance
We do not have an independent Board of Directors. We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. As our operations expand, we hope to name additional members to our Board of Directors. We do not have sufficient funds to secure officer and directors insurance and we do not believe that we will be able to retain an independent Board of Directors in the immediate future.
Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all of our directors, officers, employees and consultants, which is a "code of ethics" as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. Our Code of Ethics is attached as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed on December 29, 2008. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or certain other finance executives, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on December 15, 2009. As of December 15, 2009, there were 42,168,837 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

AUDIT FEES.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and not reported under the caption "Audit Fee." There were no such fees billed for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
TAX FEES. No fees were billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.
ALL OTHER FEES. Other than the services described above, there were no other services provided by our principal accountants for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
We do not have an audit committee. Therefore, our entire Board of Directors (the “Board") serves in the capacity of the audit committee. In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, our Board obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and us that might bear on the auditors' independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees."
Our Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Board also discussed with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of its internal controls. The Board reviewed with the independent auditors their management letter on internal controls.
Our Board discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all matters required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committees". Our entire Board, acting in the capacity of the audit committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 with the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company's financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for the examination of those statements. Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent auditors our Board of Directors approved the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and recommended that they be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2010, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
