Forward
Looking Statements
Information
in this Form 10-K contains forward looking statements" within the meaning of
Rule 175 of the securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended. When used in this Form 10-K, the words
expects," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "will" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These are statements that
relate to future periods and include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding our adequacy of cash, expectations regarding net losses and cash flow,
statements regarding our growth, our need for future financing, our dependence
on personnel, and our operating expenses.
Forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its
expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Business
Development
M45
Mining Resources Inc., sometimes referred to herein as "we," "us,” “our," and
the "Company" and/or "M45" was incorporated on July 26, 1990, under the laws of
the State of Nevada, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including,
but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions which would provide an
eventual profit for the Company.
In
November 1995, the Company, in consideration of the issuance of 150,000
authorized but unissued shares, received $75,000 (USD) from Capital General
Corporation. The sales price $0.50 (USD) per share was arbitrarily decided upon
by both parties. After the completion of the stock purchase, Capital General
became the holder of approximately 49.6% of the outstanding shares of the
Company.
The
Company had been in the development stage from inception until December 1998,
and its operations had been limited to the aforementioned sale of shares to
Capital General Corporation and the gift of shares to the minority shareholders.
During this period, the Company had continued to search for potential business
opportunities, which might have involved the acquisition, consolidation or
reorganization of an existing business.
On
January 8, 1999, the board of directors of M45 entered into an Agreement with
Softguard Enterprises Inc. ("Softguard"), a private Canadian corporation,
whereby the Company issued and delivered, 7,650,000 shares, of its common stock
bearing a restrictive legend, in exchange for which issuance, M45 acquired all
of the outstanding shares of Softguard. The transaction was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section
4(2) thereof. Following the transaction the former shareholders of Softguard
owned 82% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
On
December 31, 2002, the board of directors of M45 unanimously agreed to abandon
its wholly owned subsidiary, Softguard Enterprises Inc., due to lack of
operations. They determined that Softguard's original business plan could not be
executed and developed due to lack of operating capital and failure to complete
the product design and development of the computer software
technology.
On
September 1, 2005, M45 consummated the transaction contemplated by the Share
Exchange Agreement between M45, Roadvision and the Roadvision Selling
Shareholders, pursuant to which the parties agreed that M45 would acquire all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Roadvision in exchange for the issuance in
the aggregate of 7,250,000 of M45's shares of common stock to Roadvision Selling
Shareholders. The issuance of M45's shares of common stock to Roadvision Selling
Shareholders was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and to provisions of Regulation
S.
Roadvision
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of M45 and, upon the issuance of shares, the
Roadvision Selling Shareholders owned approximately 42% of all of M45's issued
and outstanding stock. M45 currently has a total of 53,120,886 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding.
On
January 17, 2007, the Registrant entered into an agreement with Exploration
Miniere Grenville Inc. (“EMG”), a Quebec corporation, whereby EMG sold to the
Registrant a total of TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-TWO (292) mining claims located in
the Matagami Mining Camp, Province of Quebec in or around designated territory
32F for the purchase price of NINE HUNDRED NINE THOUSAND AND NINETY (909,090)
shares of common stock of the Registrant. The agreement stipulates that
following completed drilling and positive results the Company will pay the sum
of $ 2,000,000 to (“EMG”).
On
January 17, 2007, in connection with the EMG transaction, the Company filed with
the State of Nevada an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change
its name to M45 Mining Resources, Inc.
Business
of Issuer
M45
Mining Resources Inc.’s (MRES: OB), strategic focus is on building shareholder
value through the exploration and development of mineral claims, particularly in
the Matagami Mining Camp located in Quebec, Canada. The Matagami Mining Camp is
known for its zinc-rich massive sulphide deposits. Initial exploratory work in
the Camp can be traced back to the 1930's with Noranda's activities in the
region. Ten of the eighteen deposits discovered to date have been mined and have
produced a total of 3.9 Mt zinc and 0.4 Mt copper.
We
believed that there were likely one or more deposits situated within the limits
of the Claims due to the fact that the property is located near past producers
and existing deposits. We commenced the first phase exploration program in early
April 2007, and conducted a full survey of NI-43-101, to determine the location
of potential deposits. On June 7 2007, the company received final results of the
NI-43-101 reports confirming the presence of deposits. The Company intends to
initiate a massive drilling program as per the geologist’s recommendation, which
is contained in the report. The drilling program cost will represent a total of
approximately $2.8 million Canadian dollars.
As of
June 10, 2010, the Company has no full-time employees. The President and
Secretary-Treasurer have agreed to allocate a portion of their time without
compensation to the activities of the Company.
The
Company reported no revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and
2009. On April 1, 2007, the Company entered into an arrangement with its
principal shareholder to pay rent and common shared expenses at set price of
$3,500 per month and covers such expenses as rent, telephone costs, utilities
and other similar operational support costs. On April 7, 2008, the principal
shareholder converted the outstanding note balance due him from the Company for
advances he had previously made to the Company for payment of general
operational support expenses. He received a total of 4,989,440 shares of common
stock at a price of $0.15 a share. Subsequent to receipt of these shares as full
payment of the note payable due him, the principal shareholder advanced the
Company an additional $192,394 for the payment of the same type of operational
support expenses. The principal shareholder has agreed to continue to
provide financial support for the payment of general operational support
expenses until such time the Company begins to generate revenues.
The
Company expects to encounter intense competition in its efforts to become a
leader in mining exploration. Many large and small companies compete in this
intense market. The principal means of competition vary among categories and
business groups; however, the value of the territories is certainly to be taken
in consideration. The competing entities will have significantly greater
experience, financial resources, facilities, contacts and managerial expertise,
than the Company.

Holders
As of
June 30, 2010, there were approximately 540 holders of record of the Company's
common stock. The number of registered shareholders excludes any estimate of the
number of beneficial owners of common shares held in street name.
Section
15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our
shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers
who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and
accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000
or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by
the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the
transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of
broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell
your shares in the secondary market.
Section
15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who
sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain
essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both
public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of
the function of the penny stock market, such as id and offer quotes,
a dealers spread and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation,
the broker/dealers’ duties to its customers, including the disclosures required
by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers’ rights and remedies in
cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone
number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association,
for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their
associated persons.
Dividends
The
Company has not declared or paid a cash dividend to stockholders since it was
organized and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The
board of directors presently intends to retain any earnings to finance our
operations and does not expect to authorize cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon the
Company's earnings, capital requirements and other factors.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On April
6, 2007, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8, wherein the
Company registered a total of 7,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an
Employee Stock Option Plan, adopted March 26, 2007, whereby certain employees of
the Company were granted the right to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company at not less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of grant; provided that: (a) the Exercise Price of an ISO will be not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; and (b) the
Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will not be less
than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment
for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with Section 9 of this Plan.
Pursuant to the S-8 filing, certain consultants were also issued shares of
common stock.
Recent
Sale of Unregistered Securities
The
Company did not sell any securities without registration under the Securities
Act of 1933 or in a transaction exempt from registration that was not previously
reported on a Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB, or in a Form 8-K during the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
During
the forth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, the Company did not
have any plans or programs to repurchase any of its common stock or any other
units of any class of equity security. There are no warrants or options
outstanding to acquire any additional common stock of the Company.
Item
6. Selected Financial Data.
We are a
smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are
not required to provide the information under this item.
Item
7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition.
Introduction
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of our operations
should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Our fiscal year ends March 31. This document contains certain forward-looking
statements including, among others, anticipated trends in our financial
condition and results of operations and our business strategy. These
forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ
materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider
in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: i) changes in external
factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our
results of operations; ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash
requirements; iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute
our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate;
and iv) various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing
successfully in the marketplace.
Plan
of Operation
Since its
inception, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
been dependent on existing stockholders and new investors to provide cash
resources to sustain its operations. M45 is a development stage enterprise with
limited operational history. We currently have no cash reserves and anticipate
that our available funds and resources will not be sufficient to satisfy our
needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve months.
The Company will be unable to pursue continued research and Territory
development and the transition to a company engaged in both research and
commercialization of its products will depend upon our ability to raise
additional funds through equity or debt financing, in which case our current
stockholders may experience dilution. Whereas the Company has been successful in
the past in raising capital, no assurance can be given that these sources of
financing can or will be available on terms favorable to M45. The Company's
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of
capital, otherwise development, and production will be delayed significantly.
Any such inability could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Plan
of Operation (Continued)
M45 plans
to focus its operations and development on the Matagami Mining Camp or more
precisely in the specific area where the Company has obtained a full survey
NI-43-101 report. The report clearly indicates the presence of six (6) major
airborne magnetic anomalies similar to the Perseverance Zinc mine owned by the
world mining leader Xstrata plc in the Matagami Mining Camp, Quebec, and located
six (6) kilometers from M45’s territory. The independent geologist firm
confirmed this information being of sufficient merit to recommend an immediate
massive drilling program at a cost of $ 2.8 million (Cdn). As of June 10, 2010,
the Company has not selected a mineral drilling sub-contractor. The NI-43-101
report stipulated that any drilling operations must be executed between months
of January and March, because some of the key targets are positioned
in swampy areas, and, in addition, ice platforms and bridges represent an
economic advantageous. Our progress, in this regard, will depend on our ability
to raise enough financing to pursue the drilling program.
The
Company's long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, to obtain additional
financing, and to eventually achieve profitability.
Results
of Operation
To date,
M45 has not generated any revenue and does not presently have any available
capital resources.
We
believe that our planned growth and the achievement of profitability will depend
in large part on our ability to promote our Company and to acquire key
territories. Accordingly, we intend to focus our attention and investment of
resources in marketing, development and exploration. If we are not successful in
promoting our Company and exploiting out territories, this may have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and the ability to continue to operate
the business.
If
funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may not be able to take
advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may
be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing
efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on its business and operating
results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition, which could require us to: i) curtail operations
significantly; ii) seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties
that may require the Company to relinquish significant rights to territories,
technologies or markets; or iii) explore other strategic alternatives including
a merger or sale of the Company.
M45's
current management has indicated willingness, for the time being, to continue
rendering services to the Company, to advance sufficient funds to meet our
operational needs, and not to demand payment of sums owed. The Company therefore
believes that it can continue as a going concern in the near
future.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
inception and through the date of this report, we have issued 53,120,886 shares
of our common stock and received cash from all financing activities of
$417,568.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
For the
year ending March 31, 2010, the Company has no off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of the 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 amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from
those estimates. We believe that there are several accounting policies that are
critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these
policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas
involving management’s judgments and estimates. These significant
accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived
assets and income taxes. These policies, and the related procedures, are
described in detail below.
Revenue
Recognition
For the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not realize any
revenues from its mining operations.
Impairment
of long lived assets
In
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company
records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts
.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income
Taxes,” which requires accounting for deferred income taxes under the asset and
liability method. Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are computed
for difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
In
accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax
position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals
or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The
Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may
file income tax returns in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions. The
tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that
is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could
result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets.
This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial
statement comparability among different entities. It must be applied to
all existing tax positions upon initial adoption and the cumulative effect, if
any, is to be reported as an adjustment to stockholder’s equity as of April 1,
2010.
Based on
its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of this policy did
not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
However, management’s conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review
and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to,
on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations
thereof.
Interest
and Penalty Recognition on Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The
Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in
interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors
M45
Mining Resources Inc.
I have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of M45 Mining Resources Inc. (a
development stage company) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
I
conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. 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. I believe that my
audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of M45 Mining Resources Inc. as of March 31, 2010 and 2009,
and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit),
and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since
inception. The Company has limited operations, no working capital and has not
established a source of revenue. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31,
2010 and 2009
Note
1—Organization and Nature of Business
Organization
The
Company was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 26, 1990 under
the name of Quantitative Methods Corp., ("QTTM" or the "Company"). On
January 17, 2007, the Company changed its name to M45 Mining Resources Inc,
pursuant to an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation.
Nature
of Business
M45
Mining Resources Inc., (MRES.PK) formerly known as Quantitative Methods, Corp.
(QTTM: OB), is a development stage Company actively involved
in mineral exploration.
The
Company’s
strategy is focused on building shareholder value through the exploration and
development of mineral claims, particularly in the Matagami Mining Camp located
in Quebec, Canada.
On
February 11, 2010 the Board of Directors and Shareholders of M45 Mining
Resources, Inc. (the ‘Company”) determined it to be in the best interest of the
Company that the name of the Company be modified to Neuro-Biotech Corp.
Accordingly, on February 19, 2010 the Nevada Secretary of State filed the
Certificate of Amendment amending Article First of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation to read as follows: The name of the Corporation is Neuro-Biotech
Corp. On June 16, 2010 FINRA approved the abovementioned name change and such
corporate action is deemed effective June 17, 2010. The Company’s trading symbol
will remain MRES.
Note
2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
For the
Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash
equivalents as of March 31, 2010 or 2009.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
The
Company's exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Advertising
Costs
The
Company recognizes advertising expense in accordance with Statement of Position
93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs". As such, the Company expenses the cost
of communicating advertising in the period in which the advertising space or
airtime is used. Advertising costs for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $887
and $3,988 for the corresponding period in 2009.

2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Depreciation and
Amortization
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the estimated
useful lives of the assets using the straight line depreciation method.
Leasehold Improvements is calculated on the remaining lease period and using the
straight line amortization method.
Website development
costs
The costs
of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the
preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC Topic 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
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income
Taxes,” which requires accounting for deferred income taxes under the asset and
liability method. Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are computed
for difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
In
accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax
position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals
or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The
Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may
file income tax returns in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions. The
tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that
is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could
result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets.
This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial
statement comparability among different entities. It must be applied to
all existing tax positions upon initial adoption and the cumulative effect, if
any, is to be reported as an adjustment to stockholder’s equity as of April 1,
2010.
Based on
its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of this policy did
not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
However, management’s conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review
and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to,
on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations
thereof.
The
Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in
interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Note
2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The
Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation,”
which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also
addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for
goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity
instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an
entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. FASB
ASC Topic 718 requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date
fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be
recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide
service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the
vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity
instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The
grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be
estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of
those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar
instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant
date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the
original award immediately before the modification. No stock options or
restricted stock awards were issued to employees or non-employees during the
year ended March 31, 2009; as a result, the Company recorded no compensation
expense for stock options or restricted stock awards under FASB ASC
718.
Development Stage
Enterprise
The
Company has realized no revenues from its planned business purpose and,
accordingly, is considered to be in its development stage as defined by FASB ASC
Topic 915, "Development Stage Entities."
The Company has devoted
substantially all of its efforts to business planning, and development.
Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of its time and
investment in bringing its product to the market, and the raising of
capital.
Basic and Diluted Net Income
(Loss) Per Share
The
Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC
260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") calculations
are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common
share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.
During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are
not considered in the computation. The Company had no potential common stock
instruments which would result in a diluted loss per share.

The
Company is exposed to fluctuating interest rates.
Translation of Foreign
Currencies
The Company's functional currency is
the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions occasionally occur, and
are primarily undertaken in United States dollars. The Company complies with
Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 830, “foreign Currency Maters.” Monetary items are translated at
the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items are
translated at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated
at the average exchange rate for the year. Transaction gains and losses that
arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
The
Company has ($3,204), to the date of these financial statements, entered into
derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
ASC Topic
810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable
Interest Entities,” which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R). ASU 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities,” and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity
that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or
similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting
entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other
things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability
to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the
other entity’s economic performance. ASU 2009-17 also requires a reporting
entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable
interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that
involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement
with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial
statements. ASU 2009-17 is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s
first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or the Company’s fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2010. Early application is not permitted. We have not
yet determined the impact, if any, which of the provisions of ASU 2009-15 may
have on the Company’s financial statements

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements (Continued)
In May
2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events, now codified
as FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards
of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. The guidance sets forth the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements. The guidance also requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events
and whether this date represents the date the financial statements were issued
or were available to be issued. The Company adopted this guidance
effective October 1, 2009 with no significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements or related footnotes.
In April
2009, the FASB
provided additional
guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
,”
when the volume and level
of activity for the asset or liability have significantly
decreased. This additional guidance re-emphasizes that regardless of
market conditions the fair value measurement is an exit price concept and
clarifies and includes additional factors to consider in determining whether
there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or
liability. This guidance also provides additional clarification on estimating
fair value when the market activity for an asset or liability has declined
significantly. The scope of this guidance does not include assets and
liabilities measured under quoted prices in active markets. This
guidance is applied prospectively to all fair value measurements where
appropriate and will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of this guidance did
not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05 (ASU 2009-05), “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value,” to amend FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
to provide guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair
value. The guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in
which a quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is
not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation
technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an
asset or, if unavailable, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
assets when traded as assets. If none of this information is
available, an entity should use a valuation technique in accordance with
existing fair valuation principles. The Company adopted the guidance
effective October 1, 2009, and there was no material impact on the Company’s
financial statements or related footnotes.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
“Codification”)
and
a new Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which establishes
only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative. The Codification is
now the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied
by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC,
which are additional sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All
other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification will become nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for
financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new guidelines and numbering
system prescribed by the Codification when referring to GAAP on December 7,
2009. The application of the Codification did not have an impact on the
Company’s financial statements; however, all references to authoritative
accounting literature will now be references in accordance with the
Codification.

On
October 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820-10 (ASC 820-10), “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
,”
for nonfinancial assets
and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not
have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASC Topic
350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other" amended the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously issued goodwill
and intangible assets topics. This change was intended to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
topics related to business combinations and other GAAP. The requirement for
determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets
acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be
applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent
to, the effective date. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 became effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not
impact the Company’s financial statements.
On
October 1, 2009, The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 805 (ASC 805), “Business
Combinations,” which generally requires an acquirer to recognize the
identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingent purchase
consideration and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value on
the date of acquisition. It also requires an acquirer to recognize as expense
most transaction and restructuring costs as incurred, rather than include such
items in the cost of the acquired entity. For the Company, ASC 805 applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after October 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial statements.
In April
2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, now codified in FASB ASC Topic
825-10-65, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,”
which amends U.S. GAAP to require entities to disclose the fair value of
financial instruments in all interim financial statements. The additional
requirements of this guidance also require disclosure of the method(s) and
significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of those financial
instruments. Previously, these disclosures were required only in annual
financial statements. The additional requirements of this guidance are effective
for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the
additional requirements did not have any financial impact on the Company’s
financial statements.

expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different
periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on
the classification of assets and liabilities to which they
relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are
not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current
depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to
reverse.

At March
31, 2010, the Company has net operating loss (NOL carry forwards totalling
approximately $7,262,207. The carry forwards begin to expire in the fiscal year
2030. Deferred tax assets have been reduced by a valuation allowance because of
uncertainties as to future recognition of taxable income to assure realization.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended March 31, 2010 was
$115,674 and $126,641 for year ended March 31, 2009.
Note
9—Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. This contemplates the realization of
assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As
shown in these financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of
$7,262,207 from inception to March 31, 2010, and it does not have significant
cash or other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of
revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a
going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain
financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new
business. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
management to meet any costs and expenses incurred. Management realizes that
this situation may continue until the Company obtains additional working capital
through equity financing.

Item
9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
There
have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from the
inception of our company through the date of this Form 10-K. Our
financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, included in
this annual report have been audited by Patrick Rodgers, CPA.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management
of the Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure
that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management, including its chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial
officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
financial and other required disclosures.
At the
end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and
15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. Based on their
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, they concluded that during
the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective to detect the
inappropriate
application of US GAAP standards. This was due to deficiencies that existed in
the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that
adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered to be
“material weaknesses.”
The
Company will continue to create and refine a structure in which critical
accounting policies and estimates are identified, and together with other
complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by accounting personnel. In
addition, we will enhance and test our year-end financial close process.
Additionally, an audit committee will increase its review of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Finally, we plan to designated individuals responsible
for identifying reportable developments.
We
believe these actions will remediate the material weakness by focusing
additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions.
However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the
applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and
management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating
effectively.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and
board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to
the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; (iii)
provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets
are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iv) provide
reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements
would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because changes in conditions may occur or the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
(Continued)
Management
assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of March 31, 2010. This assessment is based on the criteria for effective
internal control described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on
its assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting as of March 31, 2010 was not effective in the specific areas described
in the “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” section above and as specifically
described in the paragraphs below.
As of
March 31, 2010, our chief executive officer and Principal financial officer
identified the following specific material weaknesses in the Company’s internal
controls over its financial reporting processes:
|
·
|
Policies
and procedures for the financial close and reporting
process: Currently, there are no policies or procedures that
clearly define the roles in the financial and reporting
process. The various roles and responsibilities related to this
process should be defined, documented, updated, and
communicated. Failure to have such policies and procedures in
place amounts to a material weakness to the Company’s internal controls
over its financial reporting
processes;
|
|
·
|
There
is a lack of sufficient accounting staff, which results in a lack of
segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal
control;
|
|
·
|
There
is an over-reliance upon independent financial reporting consultants for
review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material
non-standard transactions.
|
|
·
|
Adequacy
of Accounting Systems at Meeting Company Needs — The accounting system in
place at the time of the assessment lacks the ability to provide high
quality financial statements from within the system, and there were no
procedures in place or built into the system to ensure that all relevant
information is secure, identified, captured, processed, and reported
within the accounting system. Failure to have an adequate accounting
system with procedures to ensure the information is secure and accurately
recorded and reported amounts to a material weakness to the Company’s
internal controls over its financial reporting
processes.
|
In light
of the foregoing, once we have the adequate funds, management plans to develop
the following additional procedures to help address these material
weaknesses:
|
·
|
The
Company will create and refine a structure in which critical accounting
policies and estimates are identified, and together with other complex
areas, are subject to multiple reviews by accounting personnel (See
below). In addition, we plan to enhance and test our month-end and
year-end financial close process. Additionally, our audit committee will
increase its review of our disclosure controls and procedures. We also
intend to develop and implement policies and procedures for the financial
close and reporting process, such as identifying the roles,
responsibilities, methodologies, and review/approval
process.
|
|
·
|
Hire
a qualified accounting staff to manage, review, and verify the day-to-day
accounting and the financial
statements.
|
We
believe these actions will remediate the material weaknesses by focusing
additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions.
However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the
applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and
management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating
effectively.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
(Continued)
This
report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company,
whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general
incorporation language in such filing.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

Somervail is an accomplished business entrepreneur and mining developer. He
began his career as a stock broker in the eighties and eventually held a
position as Vice President of a publically traded Canadian graphite mining
company. He was instrumental in developing graphite mines located in

other opportunities in “Green Eco Friendly” technologies arising from business
relationships over the years.

private consultant for reporting matters for biotechnology and nanotechnology
companies as well as acting as a corporate secretary for the past 30 years. With

Family
Relationship
There are
no family relationships among the directors or executive officers of M45. There
are no arrangements or understandings between any two or more of our directors
or executive officers.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceeding
During
the past five years, none of the executive officers or directors of the Company
were involved in any bankruptcy proceedings, convicted of or being subject to a
pending criminal proceeding, been subject to any order, judgment or decree of a
court, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise
limiting involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities
or been found by a court to have violated any federal, provincial or state
securities or commodities laws.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section
16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, (the "1934 Act") requires that
the directors, officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a company
with securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act file reports
of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company did not have a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 781) during the most
recent fiscal year or prior fiscal years. As a result, no reports are required
to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a).
Code
of Ethics
On
December 31, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted a corporate code of ethics for
its senior financial officers, which include our Company's principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company believes the
adopted code is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and
ethical conduct to deter wrongdoing, to promote honest and ethical conduct, to
avoid conflicts of interest, and to foster full, fair, accurate, timely and
understandable disclosures in public reports and documents; compliance with
applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; ensures the prompt internal
reporting of code violations, and provides accountability for
adherence
to this code. These senior financial officers are expected to abide
by this Code as well as by all of the Company’s other applicable business
policies, standards, and guidelines.
Item 10. Directors,
Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance with Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act (Continued).
Committees
of the Board of Directors
At the
present time, the Company does not have an audit committee, nor has it adopted
an Audit Committee Charter. In addition, the Board of Directors has not yet
designated a member to serve on the audit committee as an "audit committee
financial expert" within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC
because they have not found a qualified independent individual who meets the
independence requirements established by the SEC for the position. Until the
Company finds such an individual with the qualifications to serve as a director,
on the audit committee, as a financial expert of the Audit Committee, the entire
Board of Directors will continue to perform the functions and duties of the
Audit Committee. The Company also does not have an executive committee of our
board of directors, a compensation committee, nominating committee, stock plan
committee or any other committees.
The Board
of Directors is to oversee the performance of the independent auditors and the
quality and integrity of our internal accounting, auditing and financial
reporting practices. The Board is responsible for retaining (subject to
stockholder ratification) and, as necessary, terminating, the independent
auditors, annually reviews the qualifications, performance and independence of
the independent auditors and the audit plan, fees and audit results, and
pre-approves all services, including audit and permissible non-audit services to
be performed by the independent auditors. These services may include audit
services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. For
pre-approval of services, the independent auditor provides an engagement letter
outlining the particular service or category of services to be performed for up
to one year and is generally subject to a specific budget, which must be
formally accepted before the audit commences.

Under the
Director compensation program, each Director is granted to receive an annual
retainer of 150,000 shares of restricted common stock. Each Director is entitled
to receive 150,000 shares per year and for each year of service. No share was
issued to each Director for their annual compensation for the fiscal period
ending March 31, 2010.
.
In an
addition, Directors will not be paid for a Committee meeting when that meeting
coincides with a quarterly Board meeting. Directors will also receive
reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of the
Board of Directors.
(1) As of
November 19, 2008, Mr. Sommervail was appointed as a Director for the
Company.
(2) As of
February 8, 2010, Mr. Yamani was appointed as a Director for the
company.
Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
SEC
regulations state that we must disclose information regarding agreements, plans
or arrangements that provide for payments or benefits to our executive officers
in connection with any termination of employment or change in control of the
company. We currently have no employment agreements with any of our executive
officers, nor any compensatory plans or arrangements resulting from the
resignation, retirement or any other termination of any of our executive
officers, from a change-in-control, or from a change in any executive officer's
responsibilities following a change-in-control.
Long-Term
Incentive Plan Awards
We
do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation
intended to serve as incentive for performance.
As of the
date hereof, we have not entered into employment contracts with any of our
officers and do not intend to enter into any employment contracts until such
time as it profitable to do so.
Indemnification
The
General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, under which the Company is
organized, permits the inclusion in the articles of incorporation of a
corporation of a provision limiting or eliminating the potential monetary
liability of directors to a corporation or its stockholders by reason of their
conduct as directors. The provision would not permit any limitation on, or the
elimination of, liability of a director for disloyalty to his or her corporation
or its stockholders, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, obtaining an improper personal
benefit or paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase that was illegal
under Nevada law. Accordingly, the provisions limiting or eliminating the
potential monetary liability of directors permitted by Nevada law apply only to
the “duty of care” of directors, i.e., to unintentional errors in their
deliberations or judgments and not to any form of “bad faith”
conduct.
The
articles of incorporation of the Company contain a provision which eliminates
the personal monetary liability of directors to the extent allowed under Nevada
law. Accordingly, a stockholder is able to prosecute an action against a
director for monetary damages only if he or she can show a breach of the duty of
loyalty, a failure to act in good faith, intentional misconduct, a knowing
violation of law, an improper personal benefit or an illegal dividend or stock
repurchase, as referred to in the amendment, and not “negligence” or “gross
negligence” in satisfying his or her duty of care. Nevada law applies only to
claims against a director arising out of his or her role as a director and not,
if he or she is also an officer, his or her role as an officer or in any other
capacity or to his or her responsibilities under any other law, such as the
federal securities laws.
In
addition, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the
Company will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents to
the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise. The Company has been advised that in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of our
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
No
pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or
other agent of the Company as to which indemnification is being sought exists,
and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation
that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer, employee
or other agent.
