  AMERICAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CORP.
 (An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.            NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations
 
American Energy Development Corp. (the "Company") is currently an exploration stage company under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 915, Development Stage Entities , and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. Since inception, the Company has produced almost no revenues and will continue to report as an exploration stage company until significant revenues are produced.
 
The Company’s principal activity is the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
 
On July 12, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name from “LJM Energy Corp.” to “American Energy Development Corp.” (the “Name Change”).  The effective date of the Name Change with the Nevada Secretary of State is July 14, 2011.  

Exploration Stage

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of producing oil and gas properties.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company owns acreage in the State of Michigan which includes a 43.75% working interest in three separate oil and gas leases in Ingham County, Michigan (the “Dansville Prospect”) totaling approximately 1,343 acres along with option rights to acquire a 50% working interest in three (3) prospects located in Trenton Township, Washtenaw County, Trenton Township, Jackson County, and Kinneville Township, Ingham County, Michigan (the “Option Prospects”), and seismic data for certain properties located in Ingham and Calhoun Counties, Michigan for further exploration and analysis.  The Company also owns a 1.4% working interest in certain oil and gas leases in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma (the “Magnolia Prospect”).

Additionally, the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of Reservoir Resources Limited, which through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairfax Shelfco 307 Limited (“Fairfax 307”), is the owner of a ninety-five percent (95%) share in the Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence for UK Onshore Block SU97, known as licence PEDL236 (the “Licence”), which grants to Fairfax 307 an exclusive license during the term of the Licence to search, bore for and obtain petroleum in UK Onshore Block SU97, a 24,700 acre onshore exploration prospect located in the Weald Basin in Windsor, United Kingdom. Reservoir Resources also owns two-dimensional seismic data and information relating to certain areas of the Licence.
 
The Company’s success will depend in large part on its ability to obtain and develop oil and gas interests within the United States. There can be no assurance that oil and gas properties obtained by the Company will contain reserves or that properties with reserves will be profitable to extract. The Company will be subject to local and national laws and regulations which could impact the Company’s ability to execute its business plan.
 
As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.      NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
   
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet under ASC 825, Financial Instruments .  The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments.
 
Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with acquisition of properties and successful as well as unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized crude oil and natural gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.

The cost of investments in unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from capitalized costs to be amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such a determination is made, the properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory dry holes are included in the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is dry.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.      NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Oil and Gas Properties (Continued)
 
For each cost center, capitalized costs are subject to an annual ceiling test, in which the costs shall not exceed the cost center ceiling.  The cost center ceiling is equal to i) the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions;  plus ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.
 
Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company accounts for its future asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of the liability, if any, during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset retirement cost is included in proved oil and gas properties within the Company’s balance sheets. The Company depletes the amount added to proved oil and gas property costs using the units-of-production method and the straight-line basis over the life of the assets.
 
The Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment and site restoration on its oil and gas properties and gathering assets. The asset retirement liability, if any, will be allocated to operating expense using a systematic and rational method.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Working interest, royalty and net profit interests are to be recognized as revenue when oil and gas are sold.  The Company records the sale of its interests in prospects generally as a reduction to the cost pool without gain or loss recognition unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to a cost center.  A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full cost pool.  All terms of the sale are to be finalized and price readily determinable.
 
Value of Stock Issued for Services

The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock in exchange for, or in settlement of, services.  The Company’s management values the shares issued in such transactions at either the then market price of the Company’s common stock after taking into consideration factors such as volume of shares issued or trading restrictions, or the value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting standards with pending adoptions that the Company’s management currently anticipates will have any material impact upon its financial statements.

2.            GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of ($482,224) from inception (March 10, 2010) through March 31, 2012. The Company is subject to those risks associated with exploration stage companies. The Company’s present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. Additional debt and equity financing will be required by the Company to fund its development activities and to support operations.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing.  Furthermore, the Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

8.            PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method.  Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately ($480,000), which can be used to offset future federal income tax.  The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2030.  Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured.
   
A summary of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2012 are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
 
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, together with notes thereto, as previously filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2012, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report.  

Overview.   American Energy Development Corp. (“AEDC,” “We,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010 as “LJM Energy Corp.” On July 12, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name from “LJM Energy Corp.” to “American Energy Development Corp.” (the “Name Change”). The effective date of the Name Change with the Nevada Secretary of State was July 14, 2011.

On July 12, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to effectuate a thirty for one forward stock split of our common stock (the “Forward Stock Split”).

Our Business. We are an exploration stage company focused on exploration, production and development of oil and natural gas in the United States and the United Kingdom. We currently own interests in certain oil and gas drilling areas and land leases located in Ingham County, Michigan, known as the Dansville Prospect, and seismic data relating to such areas and leases. One of the wells in the Dansville Prospect, the Brown 2-12, has been drilled and was recently put into production. The second well in the Dansville Prospect, Cremer 1-1, is currently being drilled.  We also own a working interest in a three well developmental drilling project in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, known as the Magnolia Prospect. Two of the wells in Magnolia Prospect have been drilled and are in production.

In the United Kingdom,  our wholly-owned subsidiary Reservoir Resources Limited, which through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairfax Shelfco 307 Limited (“Fairfax 307”), is the owner of a 95% share in the Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence for UK Onshore Block SU97, known as licence PEDL236 (the “Licence”), which grants to Fairfax 307 an exclusive license during the term of the Licence to search, bore for and obtain petroleum in UK Onshore Block SU97, a 24,700 acre onshore exploration prospect located in the Weald Basin in Windsor, United Kingdom. Reservoir Resources Limited also owns two-dimensional seismic data and information relating to certain areas of the Licence.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Results of Operations.

Revenues. We have had revenues of $21,304 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We anticipate we will begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales from our interest in the Dansville Prospect. To increase the size of our operations during the next twelve months, we need to begin generating more significant revenues from the Dansville Prospect. Our failure to do so will significantly hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations.

Operating Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our total operating expenses were $124,726, as compared to total operating expenses of $21,746 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our operating expenses were solely comprised of general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to additional costs related to the increased size of our operations and costs associated with being a public company.  The overall increase of $102,980 in total operating expenses from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the increased costs related to the integration of our Michigan oil and gas operations, and the costs associated with being a public company.

We expect that our future monthly operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 will increase from our current expense levels, plus we expect to incur additional direct costs relating to drilling the Dansville Prospect in Michigan and any new prospects that we acquire. We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses as a result of being a public company, but we also expect to begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect.

Net Loss.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our net loss was $106,930, as compared to our net loss of $22,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The larger loss is directly related to an increase in general and administrative expenses between the comparable periods.   We expect to begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect, which we hope will cover our operating costs and reduce our net losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate additional revenues or, if that we do generate additional revenues, that such revenues will be sufficient to cover our operating costs and reduce our net loss in future periods.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Results of Operations.
 
Revenues. We have had revenues of $23,580 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to no revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  We anticipate we will begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales from our interest in the Dansville Prospect. To increase the size of our operations during the next twelve months, we need to begin generating more significant revenues from the Dansville Prospect. Our failure to do so will significantly hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations.

Operating Expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, our total operating expenses were $363,655, as compared to total operating expenses of $64,884 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Our operating expenses were solely comprised of general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to additional costs related to the increased size of our operations and costs associated with us being a public company.  The overall increase of $298,771 in total operating expenses from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the integration and further development of our Michigan oil and gas interests, and the expansion of our personnel, and the costs associated with being a public company.

We expect that our future monthly operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 will increase from our current expense levels, plus we expect to incur additional direct costs relating to drilling the Dansville Prospect in Michigan and any new prospects that we acquire. We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses as a result of being a public company, but we also expect to begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect.
 
Net Loss.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, our net loss was $345,697, as compared to our net loss of $67,136 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The larger loss is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses.  We expect to begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect, which we hope will cover our operating costs and reduce our net losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate additional revenues or, if that we do generate additional revenues, that such revenues will be sufficient to cover our operating costs and reduce our net loss in future periods.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. We have cash of $333,967 as of March 31, 2012. Our total assets of $15,177,850 as of March 31, 2012 consist of cash of $333,967, prepaid expenses of $1,500 and oil and gas property of $14,842,383, which includes our interests in the Dansville Prospect, the Magnolia Prospect, and Reservoir Resources.

As of March 31, 2012, we had total current liabilities of $205,503, all of which were represented by accounts payable.  We had no other long-term liabilities, commitments or contingencies.
 
On October 3, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with an investor pursuant to which we may issue and sell to the investor, and the investor shall purchase up to $7,800,000 of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase common stock (the “Warrants”) from time to time over a two year period at a purchase price of the higher of (i) $0.40 per share, and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock.  We received an initial drawdown of $200,000 on October 3, 2011, and we issued 500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of 120% of the purchase price, or $0.48 per share.  The Warrants expire five years from the date of the investment.  The second drawdown of $200,000 was delivered on October 12, 2011 and we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share to the investor in connection with the second drawdown.  The third drawdown of $50,000 was delivered on February 3, 2012 and we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share to the investor in connection with the third drawdown.  The fourth drawdown of $1,000,000 was delivered on March 20, 2012 and we issued 1,282,052 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.78 per share and Warrants to purchase 1,282,052 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share to the investor in connection with the fourth drawdown.  The fifth drawdown of $120,000 was delivered on March 30, 2012 and we issued 162,163 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.74 per share and Warrants to purchase 162,163 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.89 per share to the investor in connection with the fifth drawdown.
 
We used the funds from the initial drawdowns in October 2011 primarily to pay for general and administrative costs as well as well as our proportional share of the drilling and development costs related to the Brown 2-12 well located on the Dansville Prospect. We used $575,971 of the proceeds from the drawdown of $1,000,000 was delivered on March 20, 2012 to make the following payments to Range Michigan LLC (“Range”) on March 20, 2012:

·  
$324,450 - 70% of the anticipated pre-drilling and drilling costs on Cremer 1-1 Well;
·  
$91,000 - Prospect fee for Cremer 1-1 Well;
·  
$87,500 - Prospect fee for the White Tail Prospect; and
·  
$73,021 - AFE shortfall for the Brown 2-12 Well.

The $324,450 for our share of anticipated pre-drilling and drilling costs on Cremer 1-1 Well and the prospect fee of $91,000 were paid to Range pursuant to the Participation Agreement dated June 14, 2011 (the “Participation Agreement”), as amended on September 19, 2011 (the “Amendment”) between us and Range. The Cremer 1-1 Well is the Second Required Well (as defined in the Participation Agreement) on the Dansville Prospect. We own a 43.75% working interest and 35% net revenue interest in the Cremer 1-1 Well.  The full text of the Participation Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 20, 2011. The full text of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 22, 2011.

The Participation Agreement also provides that Range would initially assign to us a 12.5% interest of Range’s net revenue interest in the Brown 2-12 Well after our payment of the first and second AFE payments for the Brown 2-12 Well to Range.  Upon spudding of the Cremer 1-1 Well, and our payments for the Cremer 1-1 Well to Range, as described above, Range assigned to us an additional 22.5% interest of Range’s net revenue interest in the Brown 2-12 Well such that, effective as of April 1, 2012, our total net revenue interest in the Brown 2-12 Well is 35% of Range’s net revenue interest in the Brown 2-12 Well.

On March 2, 2012, we entered into a financial public relations agreement with a consultant, which provides that, among other things, we shall engage the consultant for an initial term of 6 months and continue on a month-to-month basis thereafter to provide certain financial public relations advisory services to us in exchange for $3,000 per month for the first three months, $5,000 per month for the following three months, and $7,000 per month for each month thereafter.
 
On March 6, 2012, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire a 43.75% working interest and a 35% net revenue interest in the White-tail Prospect from Range (collectively, the “White-tail Interests”).  In consideration of the purchase of the White-tail Interests, we will pay Range a total purchase price of $487,500. $200,000 will be payable in shares of our common stock with a par value of $.001 per share and $87,500 will be payable in cash to reimburse Range for development costs incurred to date and any prior land lease payments for the White-tail Prospect of approximately 4,200 acres. On March 20, 2012, we paid the prospect fee of $87,500 to Range.   We further agreed to pay 100% of the Authority For Expenditure (“AFE”) estimated at $200,000 for a 3-D high resolution seismic survey of the White-tail Prospect. We have not received the AFE as at March 31, 2012 and the transaction has not yet closed.
 
On March 12, 2012, we issued 12,500,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Purchase Agreement with Pepper Canister Nominees Limited to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Reservoir Resources Limited, which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, owns an oil and gas exploration and development license in the United Kingdom.

On March 22, 2012, the Company satisfied the monies owed to its stockholder and officer, Joel Felix, for promissory notes dated March 31, 2010 and December 2, 2011 (the “Notes”) for loans of $30,000 and $109,962, respectively, and for an advance of $13,488 on December 23, 2011 (the “Advance”).  Mr. Felix waived all accrued interest due pursuant to the Notes and the Advance.

During 2012, we expect that the following will continue to impact our liquidity:

·  
significant legal and accounting costs associated with being a public company, which will continue to impact our liquidity. Those professional fees will continue to increase as the size of our operations increase. 
·  
anticipated increases in overhead and the use of independent contractors for services to be provided to us.  
·  
future payments to Range of our proportional share of costs associated with the wells located on Dansville Prospect as well as the White-tail Prospect.
·  
additional expenses related to the acquisition of additional oil and gas rights.

Other than those items specified above, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.

We have cash of $333,967 as of March 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements to operate at our current level of activity for the next twelve months.  We will need additional cash to expand our operations, including the development of the Dansville Prospect and other properties. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors.

Although we expect to continue to drawdown funds from the Financing Agreement as needed, we have been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing or that additional funding will be available on favorable terms.  Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
We are not currently conducting any research and development activities. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. We do not currently own any equipment. Our management believes that we will require the services of independent contractors to operate at our current level of activity.  Further, as our level of operations increases beyond the level that our current staff can provide, we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease equipment.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
  
Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
