(A Development Stage Company)
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Minerco Resources, Inc. (“Minerco” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Minerco’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2011 as reported in Minerco’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

2. Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended January 31, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit and no revenue. The Company is in the business of developing, producing and providing clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America. The Company participates in and invests in development projects with other companies in clean, renewable energy projects. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending July 31, 2012.
 
3.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements ”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
 
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on January 31, 2012.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “could”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this report.

Business Overview

We were incorporated as a Nevada company on June 21, 2007 and we have one subsidiary Minerco Honduras. We were engaged in the acquisition of interests and leases in oil and natural gas properties from  our inception in June 2007  until May 27, 2010. In May, 2010 we changed the focus of our business  to the development, production and provision of clean, renewable energy solutions in Central America.  We currently have an interest in two Hydro-Electric Projects and one Wind Project in various parts of Honduras.  Both of our Hydro-Electric projects are classified as run-of-the-river projects (not conventional retention dams).  Our Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project is in the final permitting stage of development and our Iscan Hydro-Electric Project is currently in the early feasibility stage of development.  Our wind project is also in the early feasibility stage of development.  To date, we have not completed construction of any of the projects and we have not received any revenue from any of the projects.  There can be no assurance given that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, if at all. We will require additional funds to complete these projects, estimated at $200,000,000 in the aggregate.  The feasibility stage of development is the stage of development where the preliminary permits are obtained, measurement of the water flow for hydro-electric projects or wind and weather patterns for wind projects are observed, and final project size are determined.  See Managements’ Discussion and Analysis.   Additionally, if the projects are completed, there is no guarantee that they will be successfully used to create electricity or that they will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MINE”.  On March 30, 2010, the Company effected a 6 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 55,257,500 to 331,545,000 shares.  On February 13, 2012, the Company effected a 150 for 1 reverse stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding share of common stock from 1,054,297,534 to 7,028,670 shares.  All share amounts through this quarterly report have been retroactively adjusted for all periods to reflect this stock split.

The Projects

Chiligatoro

On May 27, 2010, we acquired 100% of the 6 mega-watt per hour (MWh) Chiligatoro Hydro-Electric Project (“Chiligatoro”) in Intibuca, Honduras. This project is classified as a run-of-the-river project (not a conventional retention dam) and is currently in the feasibility stage of development. Acquisition in this phase of development allows us to have full control of the final design and construction of this project.  To date, the construction of Chiligatoro has not started, and we have not received any revenues from the project. There is no assurance that Chiligatoro will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   Additionally, if Chiligatoro is completed, there is no guarantee that it will be successfully used to create electricity or that it will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.

Chiligatoro has received approval from the National Energy Commission, signed a 30 Year Operations Contract with SERNA and is currently negotiating its Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with ENEE. Chiligatoro is awaiting final approval from the Honduran National Congress. This Congressional Approval acts as a “defacto” guarantee. This approval makes Chiligatoro’s Power Purchase Contracts a recorded law in the Honduran National Congress. Final approval and start of construction is anticipated by early 2012.

The revenue for Chiligatoro (or any hydro or wind project) is expected to be generated from the following; however there can be no guarantee that such anticipated revenue level or any revenue at all will be generated:

●       
Power Generation Sales

●       
Chiligatoro Example: 6 MWh x 24 hr/day x $115.97 /MWh = US$ 16,700 / day or US$ 6,095,000 per year of Gross Energy Generation Revenue

●       
Carbon Credits

●       
Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) Credits can be pre-sold or traded on the open market. The spot price is currently over US$ 10 per Credit. Carbon Credits are relatively new but are measured in tonnes of CO2.

●       
The Chiligatoro Project  is expected eliminate approximately 27,000 tonnes of CO2.per year, or earn 27,000 CER Credits annually. 27,000 CER /year x $10 /CER = US$ 270,000 per year.

●       
Reforestation in Project Buffer Zone

●       
Reforestation generates revenue directly and indirectly. Planting tropical hardwood trees such as mahogany is expected to generate direct revenue in less than 20 years. Current prices yield more than US$ 8,000 per tree.

●       
More importantly, reforestation of the Project’s Buffer Zone (water supply zone) is expected to increase the Projects total efficiency within a couple years adding additional power generation revenue. This increase in efficiency is typically 2 – 3%. Additional CER Credits are also realized with reforestation.
 
We acquired the rights to Chiligatoro from ROTA INVERSIONES S.DE R.L., a corporation formed under the laws of Honduras (“Rota”), pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement we entered into with  Rota on May 27, 2010.  We agreed to pay Rota at total of 18,000,000 shares of common stock consisting of 9,000,000 shares of our  common stock within 3 days of closing, 4,500,000 shares of our common stock within 180 days of closing and 4,500,000 shares of our common stock upon us raising of $12,000,000 no later than 24 months after closing.  We are in active negotiations for a 12 month extension to the original May 27, 2012 deadline to raise the capital required for the project.  We also agreed to pay Rota a royalty of 10% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from Chiligatoro prior to completion of the payment of the foregoing.  Further, we agreed to pay Rota a royalty of 20% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from Chiligatoro after the completion of the payout for the life of Chiligatoro, including any renewal, transfer or sale, if any, in perpetuity.  “Payout” is defined as all associated costs related to the development of Chiligatoro.  If we are unable to obtain the financing requirements of this agreement, Rota will have the right to terminate the agreement with full rights of rescission, and all rights, title and interest to Chiligatoro shall be transferred back to Rota.  13,500,000 shares of common stock were issued to ROTA on June 4, 2010.

Iscan 

On January 5, 2011, we acquired 100% of the 4 mega-watt per hour (MWh) Iscan Hydro-Electric Project (“Iscan”) in Olancho, Honduras. This project is classified as a run-of-the-river project (not a conventional retention dam) and is currently in the feasibility stage of development. Acquisition in this phase of development allows us to have full control of the final design and construction of this project.  To date, the construction of Iscan has not started, and we have not received any revenues from the project. There is no assurance that Iscan will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   Additionally, if the Iscan project is completed, there is no guarantee that it will be successfully used to create electricity or that it will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.

We acquired the rights to Iscan from Energetica de Occidente S.A. de C.V., a corporation formed under the laws of Honduras (the “Energetica”), pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement we entered into with the Iscan Seller on January 5, 2011.  We agreed to pay Energetica a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock consisting of 500,000 shares of our common stock within 30 days of closing and 500,000 shares of our common stock upon us raising $8,500,000 no later than 36 months after closing.  We also agreed to pay the Energetica a royalty of 10% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from Iscan prior to completion of the payment of the foregoing.   If we default on financing obligations under this agreement, Energetica  can terminate this agreement, rescind the sale of these rights to us, and all rights, title and interest to Iscan will be transferred back to Energetica.  Minerco has not issued any shares because it is awaiting approval from SERNA for the project before the transfer of title and we expect title to be transferred in the middle of the second quarter of calendar 2012.

Caserio Rio Frio

On January 10, 2011, we entered into a binding letter of intent with Sesacepa Energy Company S.A. de CV (“SENCO”), a corporation formed and operated under the laws of Honduras (”SENCO”), for the acquisition of a 30% interest in a Hydro – Electric Project known as “Caserio Rio Frio Hydro – Electric Project” in Honduras in Central America (”Caserio Rio Frio”).  The agreement also provides for us to obtain a minimum 30% interest and a maximum 80% interest in the remaining 2 phases of Caserio Rio Frio known as “El Chaguiton and El Palmar.”  Actual ownership will be determined at the actual equity placement for the projects.  We will pay SENCO$562,028 over the course of a twelve (12) month period upon execution of a definitive agreement.  We expect to close negotiations by end of the fiscal year or rescind the original letter of intent.

Sayab

On January 18, 2011, we acquired 100% of the 100 mega-watt per hour (MWh) Sayab Wind Project (“Sayab”) in Choluteca, Honduras. This project is currently in the feasibility stage of development. Acquisition in this phase of development allows us to have full control of the final design and construction of this project.  To date, the construction of Sayab has not started, and we have not received any revenues from the project. There is no assurance that  Sayab will be completed in a timely manner, if at all.   Additionally, if  Sayab  is completed, there is no guarantee that it will be successfully used to create electricity or that it will generate a consistent revenue stream for us.
  
We acquired the rights to Sayab  from  Energia Renovable Hondurenas S.A., a corporation formed under the laws of Honduras (the “ Sayab Seller”), pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement we entered into with the Sayab Seller on January 18, 2011.  We agreed to pay the Sayab Seller a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock consisting of 500,000 shares of our common stock within 30 days of closing and 500,000 shares of our common stock upon us raising $10,000,000 no later than 18 months after closing.  We also agreed to pay the Sayab Seller a royalty of 6% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from Sayab prior to completion of the payment of the foregoing.   Further, we agreed to pay the Sayab Seller a royalty of 12% of the adjusted gross revenue, derived after all applicable taxes, from Sayab after the completion of the payout for the life of Sayab, including any renewal, transfer or sale, if any, in perpetuity.  “Payout” is defined as all associated costs related to the development of Sayab.  As additional consideration for this Agreement, the Sayab Seller will have the right to, upon written notice delivered to us, to purchase back from us up to an additional 8% of Sayab.  The buyback purchase price will be determined by actual costs incurred by us relating to Sayab.  The Sayab Seller can buy back or obtain 0.5% increments until a maximum 20% total interest is obtained.  If we are unable to obtain the financing requirements of this agreement, the Sayab Seller shall have the right to terminate this agreement with full rights of rescission, and all rights, title and interest to Sayab shall be transferred back to the Sayab Seller.  Minerco has not issued any shares because it is awaiting approval from SERNA for the project before the transfer of title and we expect title to be transferred in the middle of the second quarter of calendar 2012.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended January 31, 2012
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2012 we incurred a net loss of $552,844, compared to a net loss of $304,479 during the same period in fiscal 2011. The decrease in our net loss during the three months ended January 31, 2012 was primarily due to decreased General and Administrative Expense due to a decrease in third party stock compensation. Also, there was a gain of $35,383 and accretion of $8,149 associated with the derivative in the convertible debt.

Our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2012 were $182,587, compared to operating expenses of $319,414 during the same period in fiscal 2011. Our total general and administrative expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2012 consisted of $98,100 in compensation expense, $59,138 in stock compensation expense, $12,921 in professional fees, and $12,428 in general and administrative expense and during the three months ended January 31, 2011 consisted entirely of general and administrative expenses, and we did not incur any foreign exchange losses, management fees, rent expenses or other operating expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.
 
Results of Operations for the Period from June 21, 2007 (Date of Inception) to January 31, 2012
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 we did not generate any revenues and we incurred a net loss of $2,632,960. We may not generate significant revenues from our interest in our Hydro-Electric or Wind Projects or any other properties in which we acquire an interest, and we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

Our total operating expenses from our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 were $1,585,262, and consisted entirely of $551,516 in compensation expense, $591,701 in stock compensation expense, $155,663 in professional fees, $299,600 in consulting fees and $286,382 in general and administrative expenses. We have not incurred any foreign exchange losses, management fees, rent expenses or other operating expenses since our inception.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 we also received $13,000 in the form of proceeds from loan recovery and incurred $30,000 in expenses related to the impairment of a note receivable. Also, there was a loss of $565,535 and accretion of $409,943 associated with the derivative in the convertible debt

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2012 we had $115 in cash and $715,615 in total assets, $1,456,286 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $1,456,171. Our accumulated deficit from our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 was $2,632,960 and was funded primarily through advances from related parties, equity and debt financing.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 we spent net cash of $539,099 on operating activities. During the six months ended January 31, 2012 we spent net cash of $59,130 on operating activities, compared to net cash spending of $158,761 on operating activities during the same period in fiscal 2011. The decrease in expenditures on operating activities for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was primarily due to an increased net loss offset by a loss on derivatives, accretion expense, issuance of share based compensation and issuance for services, increase in accounts payable and accounts payable due to related parties.
 
From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 we spent net cash of $10,000 on investing activities, all of which was in the form of a loan to a third party. We spent net cash of $0 on investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011.

From our inception on June 21, 2007 to January 31, 2012 we received net cash of $549,214 from financing activities, which consists of $90,514 from the issuance of our common stock, $411,500 from debt financing, $46,018 in proceeds from a related party, and $1,182 in capital contributions. During the six months ended January 31, 2012 we did receive $59,095 net cash from financing activities, compared to net cash received of $139,351 during the same period in fiscal 2011. The decrease in receipts from financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2012 was primarily lower proceeds from payment from related parties.

During the six months ended January 31, 2012 our monthly cash requirements to fund our operating activities was approximately $35,783. Our cash of $115 as of January 31, 2012 is not sufficient to cover our current monthly burn rate for a full month.
 
We estimate our planned expenses for the next 24 months (beginning December 2011) to be approximately $13,801,000, as summarized in the table below.

Based on our planned expenditures, we require additional funds of approximately $13,800,885 (a total of $13,801,000 less our approximately $115 in cash as of January 31, 2012) to proceed with our business plan over the next 24 months. If we secure less than the full amount of financing that we require, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.

We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Although we acquired a 100% interest in the various Hydro-Electric and Wind Projects, there is no assurance that we will receive any revenues from this interest. Meanwhile, even if we purchase other non-operated interests in hydro-electric projects or begin construction activities on any properties we may acquire, this does not guarantee that these projects or properties will be commercially exploitable.

Our activities will be directed by V. Scott Messina, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors and Sam J Messina III, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a member of the Board of Directors, who will also manage our operations and supervise our other planned acquisition activities.
 
Future Financings

Our financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2012 have been prepared on a going concern basis and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have not generated any revenues, have achieved losses since our inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. We may not generate any revenues from our interest in the various Hydro-Electric and Wind Projects, or from any of the hydro-electric or wind projects in which we acquire an interest. Accordingly, we are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations and pursue any acquisition and exploration activities.

Of the $13,801,000 we require for the next 24 months, we had approximately $115 in cash as of January 31, 2012. We intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 24 months (approximately $13,800,885), private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing other than the equity line, and there is no guarantee that any financing will be successful. We intend to negotiate with our management and any consultants we may hire to pay parts of their salaries and fees with stock and stock options instead of cash.

If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our acquisition and exploration activities and our general and administrative expenses so as not to exceed the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate that we will defer drilling programs and certain acquisitions pending the receipt of additional financing. Still, if we do not secure additional financing our current cash reserves and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and for the next 12 months, even if we do decide to scale back our operations.
 
Product Research and Development

We do not anticipate spending any material amounts in connection with product research and development activities during the next 12 months.

Outstanding Notes

As of January 31, 2012 our obligations under outstanding notes totaled an aggregate principal amount of $334,800.  Of such amount $147,200, $11,600, and $36,000 is due on demand; and $18,000 is due February 6, 2012.  We currently do not have sufficient funds to pay any of the past due or future notes.

On October 12, 2010, we issued a promissory note to an unrelated third party in the amount of $200,000 in consideration for monies loaned to our company.  The promissory note is non-interest bearing and due on demand.   We currently do not have the funds necessary to repay this debt if a demand were to be made. The promissory note was subsequently sold to two unrelated parties, each acquiring $100,000 of the principal amount owed under the promissory note. On September 1, 2011, we entered into two agreements, each of which provide for the exchange of the principal amount of $100,000 of the promissory notes  for convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000.  Each Convertible Note plus accrued interest of 10% may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at any time before the maturity date by the Convertible Note holder at a conversion price of $0.0004 per share at the time of conversion. In the event of a default by the Company, each Convertible Note plus accrued interest may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at any time after the default date by the Convertible Note holder at a conversion price of the lower of (i) par value or (ii) half of the average bid price over the five trading days prior to the conversion date, but in no case for an amount less than a 51% interest in the Company. The Company is obligated to register the shares underlying the Convertible Notes under the Securities Act of 1933 until shares become available for resale under Rule 144(k).  On February 20, 2012, we amended the remaining balances on the notes of $73,600 due on each note to the lower of $0.001 or 50% of market based on the lowest day during the preceding 5 days.

On each of February 3, 2011, March 29, 2011, June 22, 2011, August 9, 2011 and September 27, 2011 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note with Asher Enterprises for $53,000, $27,500, $32,500, $27,500 and $35,000 respectively.  The convertible notes carries an 8% rate of interest and the February and March  is convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 31% of the market price and the June  and August Notes are convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 55% of the market price and the September Note is convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 51% of which shall be calculated as the average of the lowest 3 days during the preceding 10 days before conversion.  The promissory note issued in February has been converted into common stock for the total outstanding balance. The promissory note issued in March has been partially converted into common stock and the remaining outstanding balance of $11,600 is due on demand.  The promissory note issued on June 22, 2011 is due on March 26, 2012, the promissory note issued on August 9, 2011 is due on May 11, 2012 and the promissory note issued on September 27, 2011 is due on June 29, 2012.
 
On June 6, 2011, August 6, 2011 and November 6, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note between the Company and SE Media Partners, Inc. for $36,000, $18,000 and $27,000, respectively.  The convertible notes carry a 5% rate of interest and are convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price of 50% of the market price which shall be calculated as the lowest day during the preceding 5 days before conversion.  The June Convertible Promissory Note was due on December 6, 2011 but now due on demand, the August Convertible Promissory Note is due on February 6, 2012 and the November Convertible Promissory Note is due on May 6, 2012.  On February 1, 2012, we amended the note dated June 6, 2011 for $36,000 to the lower of $0.001 or 50% of market based on the lowest day during the preceding 5 days.

Acquisition of Plants and Equipment and Other Assets

Apart from our interest in the various Hydro-Electric and Wind Projects, we do not anticipate selling or acquiring any material properties, plants or equipment during the next 12 months unless we are successful in obtaining additional financing.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Inflation

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance the information required to be reported in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Inasmuch as we  only have two individuals serving as officers, directors and employees we have determined that the company has, per se, inadequate controls and procedures over financial reporting due to the lack of segregation of duties despite the fact that the duties of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are performed by two different individuals.   Management recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if there was a greater segregation of the duties of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue. Management believes that the material weakness in its controls and procedures referenced did not have an effect on our financial results.  Based upon this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended January 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
