    If answer is no, identify report(s).
     
  3. Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

    Yes  No   
    If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
    During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company did not earn revenue. The Company is in the exploration stage and does not anticipate earning significant revenue until it commences commercial production.

    The Company anticipates that total operating expenses and loss from operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 will have decreased by approximately $11.9 million to approximately $4.2 million, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to the Company’s recognition of a loss from impairment of property during fiscal 2008 of nearly $9.5 million compared to a loss from impairment of property of approximately $560,000 during fiscal 2009. The decrease in total operating expenses and loss from operations is also attributable to a decrease in general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2009 of approximately $2 million. The Company anticipates that during fiscal 2009 it will have realized net other expense of approximately $1.8 million compared to net other income of $737,657 during fiscal 2008. This change is largely attributable to a significant increase in exchange loss during fiscal 2009. The Company also expects to realize a loss from continuing operations of approximately $6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $15,348,975 during the year ended December 31, 2008.

    During fiscal 2009 the Company sold its interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Kaznickel LLP. As a result, the Company realized income from discontinued operations of approximately $6 million. The Company did not realize any income from discontinued operations during fiscal 2008.

    As a result of the foregoing, the Company expects to realize a net income attributable to shareholders of Bekem of approximately $43,000, or $0.00 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss attributable to Bekem shareholders of $15,348,975, or $0.12 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008.
